Transcript
- 0:02Speaker 1: Apostle Femi Lazarus is a man raised by God to
- 0:06Speaker 1: demonstrate his wisdom and authority to the last day church.
- 0:10Speaker 1: He is the lead pastor of Sphere of Light Church
- 0:13Speaker 1: and God told him years ago that a time will
- 0:16Speaker 1: come where my wisdom will be needed to navigate tough
- 0:19Speaker 1: times in the body of Christ.
- 0:22Speaker 2: Then I will cause your voice to be heard.
- 0:25Speaker 1: And all who pay attention to my word on your
- 0:29Speaker 1: lips will not lack light and direction. He is a
- 0:33Speaker 1: man sent from God, sent to raise God's end time armies.
- 0:38Speaker 1: With Apostle Fermi Lazarus, every minute counts as you listen attentively.
- 0:46Speaker 2: Romans 8, we'll start the reading from verse 15. Romans 8,
- 0:57Speaker 2: we'll start reading from verse 15. And I need us
- 1:00Speaker 2: to pay very keen attention to this series. Amen. If
- 1:13Speaker 2: I dare say a big amen. Amen. For you have
- 1:18Speaker 2: not received the spirit of bondage again to fear... but
- 1:24Speaker 2: you have received the spirit of adoption whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
- 1:37Speaker 2: The spirit itself bears witness with our spirit that we
- 1:46Speaker 2: are children of God. And if children, then heirs heirs
- 1:55Speaker 2: of God, and joint heirs with Christ. If so be
- 2:02Speaker 2: that we suffer with him, that we may be glorified,
- 2:07Speaker 2: be also glorified together. Now verse 18 says, For I
- 2:15Speaker 2: reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not
- 2:19Speaker 2: worthy to be compared to the glory which shall be
- 2:24Speaker 2: revealed For the earnest expectation of the creature awaits for
- 2:35Speaker 2: the manifestation of who? The sons of God. Verse 20
- 2:43Speaker 2: For the creature was made subject to vanity not willingly
- 2:50Speaker 2: but by reason of him who have subjected the same
- 2:53Speaker 2: in hope Because the creature itself also shall be delivered
- 3:00Speaker 2: from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of
- 3:04Speaker 2: the children of God. For we know that the whole
- 3:08Speaker 2: creation groans and travails in pain together until now. And
- 3:15Speaker 2: not only they, but ourselves also, which have the fresh
- 3:19Speaker 2: fruit of the Spirit. Even we ourselves groan within ourselves,
- 3:24Speaker 2: waiting for the adoption to wheat. the redemption of our body.
- 3:30Speaker 2: For we are saved by hope, but hope that is
- 3:33Speaker 2: seen is not, sorry, but hope that is seen is
- 3:36Speaker 2: not hope. For what man sees, why does he yet
- 3:38Speaker 2: hope for? Now, I'm going to stop in verse 26.
- 3:45Speaker 2: But if we hope for that we see not, then
- 3:50Speaker 2: do we with patience wait for it? Verse 26. Likewise,
- 3:56Speaker 2: the Spirit also helps our infirmities. For we know not
- 4:00Speaker 2: what we should pray for as we ought, but the
- 4:03Speaker 2: Spirit itself makes intercession for us with groanings that cannot
- 4:08Speaker 2: be what? Altered. And he that searches the earth knows
- 4:14Speaker 2: what is in the mind of the Spirit because he
- 4:16Speaker 2: makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
- 4:22Speaker 2: And we know that all things work together for good
- 4:26Speaker 2: to them that love God, to them who are called
- 4:30Speaker 2: according to His purpose. Now we can go on to
- 4:33Speaker 2: the issue of predestination there. Alright? But, pay keen attention
- 4:38Speaker 2: to verse 17. And if children, then heirs, heirs of God,
- 4:46Speaker 2: and joint heirs with who? Christ. Alright? Um, There are
- 4:55Speaker 2: two things being said there. The first is that we
- 4:59Speaker 2: are heirs of God. Alright? It's something entirely different from
- 5:05Speaker 2: what it says when it says that we are joint
- 5:07Speaker 2: heirs with Christ. So when the Bible calls us heirs,
- 5:16Speaker 2: your heir is one that has legal rights to your inheritance.
- 5:24Speaker 2: So in order to buttress the point that we are
- 5:27Speaker 2: heirs of God, he now made it even clearer that
- 5:31Speaker 2: the same way Christ is an heir, we are joined
- 5:34Speaker 2: with him in that order. Now, what that means is
- 5:41Speaker 2: that we have equal right, particularly right of access. I
- 5:55Speaker 2: don't know how we are going to get there. But
- 5:58Speaker 2: tonight is not just Bible study. This is an Holy
- 6:00Speaker 2: Ghost meeting. Now look at this scripture. Hebrews 4. Let's
- 6:07Speaker 2: start reading from verse 15. Hebrews 4. Let's start reading
- 6:14Speaker 2: from verse 15. Okay. Okay. For we have not an
- 6:24Speaker 2: high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of
- 6:27Speaker 2: our infirmities, but was in all point tempted like we,
- 6:30Speaker 2: or like as we are, yet without sin. Yes. Let
- 6:35Speaker 2: us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that
- 6:37Speaker 2: we may obtain what? Mercy, and find grace to help
- 6:40Speaker 2: in the times of need. So, number one, you need
- 6:44Speaker 2: to be clear about this one reality. As an heir,
- 6:50Speaker 2: or as a joint heir with Christ. Hmm? You have
- 6:53Speaker 2: access to the father boldly. You don't approach the father
- 7:01Speaker 2: as one who wants to kill you. You are God's child.
- 7:06Speaker 2: Say it again, I am God's child. My father is
- 7:09Speaker 2: not a tyrant. Say it again, I am God's child. Now,
- 7:15Speaker 2: the assumption you have is that God pampers Christ and
- 7:18Speaker 2: makes you suffer. You are joint heirs. Amen? We have
- 7:29Speaker 2: been accepted in the beloved. Now, I've said the most
- 7:38Speaker 2: simple part of this. That what it means to be
- 7:40Speaker 2: an heir is to be one who has legal rights
- 7:45Speaker 2: of access to the inheritance. True? Talk to me now.
- 7:51Speaker 2: Now let me show you another dimension to it. 1
- 7:54Speaker 2: Samuel chapter number 16. 1 Samuel chapter number 16. If
- 8:06Speaker 2: you are there, say Amen. Alright. Now I want to
- 8:10Speaker 2: show you something here. Let's start reading from verse 1.
- 8:16Speaker 2: Now the Lord said to Samuel, How long will you mourn? Alright,
- 8:19Speaker 2: if you can give NKJV. For how long will thou
- 8:22Speaker 2: mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning
- 8:26Speaker 2: over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and go I
- 8:31Speaker 2: will send you to Jesse, the Bethlehemite, for I provided
- 8:35Speaker 2: me a king amongst his sons. Alright? You know the story.
- 8:42Speaker 2: Many of them came and God kept saying that the
- 8:46Speaker 2: king is not yet there. Now look at the verse.
- 8:52Speaker 2: Let's jump to Let's jump to verse 11. And Samuel
- 9:06Speaker 2: said to Jesse, verse 11 now, 16, 11. I hear
- 9:12Speaker 2: all your children. And he said, there remains yet the youngest.
- 9:18Speaker 2: And behold, he keeps the sheep. And Samuel said to Jesse,
- 9:23Speaker 2: send and fetch him, for we will not sit down
- 9:27Speaker 2: till you come here. And he sent and brought him in.
- 9:30Speaker 2: Now he was ruddy. and wheat of a beautiful countenance,
- 9:35Speaker 2: and goodly to look to. And the Lord said, Arise,
- 9:39Speaker 2: anoint him, for this is he. Now verse 13. And
- 9:42Speaker 2: Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in
- 9:46Speaker 2: the midst of his brothers. And the Spirit of the
- 9:51Speaker 2: Lord came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel
- 9:55Speaker 2: rose up and went to Ramah. Powerful scripture. There was
- 9:59Speaker 2: a king. And the king was misbehaving really bad. So
- 10:03Speaker 2: God was done with him. Okay? He was still on
- 10:08Speaker 2: the throne. But the unction for the territory was placed
- 10:16Speaker 2: on a young boy. Is that okay now? in the
- 10:22Speaker 2: next chapter, 1 Samuel 17, when Goliath came, although Saul
- 10:28Speaker 2: was the king, but the real heir was David. At
- 10:35Speaker 2: that point, he had to step up and defend his territory.
- 10:44Speaker 2: Because if you look at the agreement what Goliath was
- 10:48Speaker 2: asking for he was asking for the kingdom he said
- 10:51Speaker 2: if I should kill your own champion you all will
- 10:53Speaker 2: become our own servant now he was asking for the
- 10:58Speaker 2: kingdom the nation of Israel at that point who did
- 11:01Speaker 2: the nation belong to huh no longer Saul because God
- 11:06Speaker 2: had rejected him and the anointing that should be on
- 11:09Speaker 2: Saul was now on David So when David stepped up,
- 11:13Speaker 2: he was defending his territory. You can't be an heir
- 11:16Speaker 2: and not know how to fight. The moment it occurs
- 11:26Speaker 2: to you that you are joint heir with Christ, number one,
- 11:31Speaker 2: that statement in itself is an offensive statement. Oh, joint heir.
- 11:37Speaker 2: Once you are a joint heir, you're already polarized. What
- 11:41Speaker 2: that means is that you have taken a side. All right?
- 11:45Speaker 2: So that introduces us to my first subtopic, and I'm
- 11:50Speaker 2: going to take this for a while. All right? Even
- 11:52Speaker 2: as we start this series to prepare us for something.
- 11:56Speaker 2: So you can put it on the screen as we start.
- 12:06Speaker 2: We are at work. Revelations chapter number 12. Revelations chapter
- 12:31Speaker 2: number 12. Let's start reading from verse 1. And there
- 12:44Speaker 2: appeared a great wonder in heaven, a woman clothed with
- 12:46Speaker 2: the sun and the moon under her feet. and on
- 12:50Speaker 2: her head was crowned of twelve stars. And she, being
- 12:53Speaker 2: with the child, cried, traveling in bed and pained to
- 12:58Speaker 2: be delivered. And there appeared another wonder in heaven, and behold,
- 13:02Speaker 2: a great red dragon, which had seven heads and ten horns,
- 13:05Speaker 2: and seven crowns on his head. And he still drew
- 13:09Speaker 2: the third part of the stars of heaven, and did
- 13:12Speaker 2: cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before
- 13:17Speaker 2: the woman, which was ready to be delivered, for to
- 13:20Speaker 2: devour a child as soon as it was born. And
- 13:24Speaker 2: she brought forth a man child, who was to rule
- 13:27Speaker 2: all nations with a rod of iron. And her child
- 13:31Speaker 2: was cut up to God and to his throne. And
- 13:34Speaker 2: the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a
- 13:37Speaker 2: place prepared of God, that they should feed her there
- 13:41Speaker 2: for a thousand, two hundred, and three score days. That's
- 13:46Speaker 2: 1 Thessalonians 60 days and 90 days. Verse 7. And
- 13:51Speaker 2: there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought
- 13:55Speaker 2: against the dragon, and the dragon fought and his angels,
- 13:59Speaker 2: and prevailed not, neither was their place found anymore in heaven.
- 14:04Speaker 2: And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent
- 14:06Speaker 2: called the devil and Satan, which deceives the whole world.
- 14:12Speaker 2: He was cast out into the earth, And his angels
- 14:15Speaker 2: were cast out of him. And I heard a loud
- 14:18Speaker 2: voice saying, saying in heaven, Now is come salvation and
- 14:23Speaker 2: strength and the kingdom of our God and the power
- 14:28Speaker 2: of his Christ. For the accuser of our brothers is
- 14:32Speaker 2: cast down, which accused them daily before our God day
- 14:37Speaker 2: and night. And they overcame him by the blood of
- 14:41Speaker 2: the Lamb and by the word of their testimonies. and
- 14:44Speaker 2: they loved not their lives unto death. Now, two chronological
- 14:52Speaker 2: events were merged. And for the sake of balanced theology,
- 14:57Speaker 2: we need to understand that. The first is that the
- 15:01Speaker 2: woman with the man-child that was fleeing into the wilderness, alright,
- 15:08Speaker 2: that was kept there for 1,290 days. That's three and
- 15:10Speaker 2: a half years. It describes an event that is still
- 15:15Speaker 2: going to take place alright so that is a futuristic
- 15:18Speaker 2: event it speaks of the nation of Israel is that
- 15:23Speaker 2: okay now figuratively that also speaks of the church figuratively
- 15:32Speaker 2: alright that also speaks of the church but you will
- 15:35Speaker 2: observe that the moment the dragon there is a figurative
- 15:40Speaker 2: statement used to illustrate the devil So it was that dragon,
- 15:45Speaker 2: even the devil, Satan, stood there. Now, the moment the
- 15:48Speaker 2: devil saw that he was carrying a divine pregnancy, he
- 15:52Speaker 2: stood there. And that man child that was born, the
- 15:56Speaker 2: Bible said God caught it up to heaven immediately. Pay attention.
- 16:01Speaker 2: That tells us already that it doesn't matter how small
- 16:06Speaker 2: what you want to bet is, there will be a contention.
- 16:11Speaker 2: There will be a contention. Okay? The earlier you understand
- 16:15Speaker 2: that we're at war, the earlier you master the craft
- 16:19Speaker 2: and the heart of war, the better. The devil is
- 16:24Speaker 2: not going to fold his hands and watch you do
- 16:28Speaker 2: things that is going to bring him and his kingdom down.
- 16:32Speaker 2: He's not going to allow you. He's not going to
- 16:37Speaker 2: allow you as long as You are standing to do
- 16:41Speaker 2: something for the kingdom that will affect his kingdom. He's
- 16:44Speaker 2: going to fight you. But the Bible also went on
- 16:48Speaker 2: to show us a bit of the history of this dragon.
- 16:53Speaker 2: That there was a time that he still drew and
- 16:55Speaker 2: thought of the stars of heaven. Okay? And the Bible
- 16:59Speaker 2: also said there was war where? In heaven. So, the
- 17:05Speaker 2: devil began to contend. I've taught this again and again.
- 17:08Speaker 2: But you see, One of the skills you must master
- 17:16Speaker 2: in teaching is the skill of repetition. Till it sinks in.
- 17:24Speaker 2: Is that okay now? So what was the devil's battle cry?
- 17:27Speaker 2: He said, I want to be like the most high.
- 17:31Speaker 2: Let's check our Bibles. Because if you don't understand these things,
- 17:36Speaker 2: you don't even know what you are doing as an heir. Amen?
- 17:46Speaker 2: Are you with me? I want to show you something.
- 17:57Speaker 2: Turn your Bibles to the book of Isaiah chapter number 14.
- 18:09Speaker 2: We start the reading from verse 12. Isaiah chapter number 14.
- 18:14Speaker 2: We start reading from verse 12. If you are there,
- 18:23Speaker 2: say amen. Now there is a question here. How are
- 18:27Speaker 2: thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning?
- 18:33Speaker 2: How are you cut down to the ground, which did
- 18:36Speaker 2: weakens the nation? For you have said in your heart,
- 18:39Speaker 2: I will ascend into heaven. I will exalt my throne
- 18:42Speaker 2: above the stars of God. I will sit also in
- 18:46Speaker 2: the mount of the congregation in the sides of the north.
- 18:50Speaker 2: I will ascend above the height of the clouds. I
- 18:53Speaker 2: will be like the most high. Yet you shall be
- 18:55Speaker 2: brought down into hell to the sides of the pit.
- 18:59Speaker 2: And they that see you shall narrowly look on you
- 19:02Speaker 2: and consider you sane. Is this the man that made
- 19:06Speaker 2: the head to tremble, that did shake the nations, that
- 19:09Speaker 2: made the world a wilderness and destroyed the cities thereof?
- 19:13Speaker 2: and open not the house of his prisoners. All the
- 19:16Speaker 2: kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory,
- 19:21Speaker 2: everyone in his own house, but you are cast out
- 19:24Speaker 2: of your grave, like an abominable branch. And as the
- 19:28Speaker 2: raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with the sword,
- 19:33Speaker 2: that go down to the stones of the pit, as
- 19:35Speaker 2: a carcass trodden on their feet. Now, this is a
- 19:40Speaker 2: very serious one here. The devil got up and he
- 19:48Speaker 2: wasn't satisfied. with the government of God. He felt God
- 19:55Speaker 2: was biased. Why should you have a system of government
- 20:02Speaker 2: that doesn't represent us? There are three that bears record
- 20:08Speaker 2: in heaven. the Father, the Word, and the Spirit. So
- 20:15Speaker 2: the devil look at it, we don't want this kind
- 20:18Speaker 2: of government. We want to have a say. Let's have
- 20:26Speaker 2: government that is inclusive. I want to rise above the stars,
- 20:37Speaker 2: Isaiah 14, Revelations 12, and he still drew one-third of
- 20:44Speaker 2: the stars. In Job 38, when God told Job, prepare
- 20:50Speaker 2: yourself like a man. I want to demand of you
- 20:52Speaker 2: certain questions. You will answer me. And one of the
- 20:55Speaker 2: questions God asked him was, where were you when the
- 20:57Speaker 2: stars of God sing together every morning? The stars of
- 21:01Speaker 2: God refers to angels. So when he said, I want
- 21:05Speaker 2: to rise above the stars, It means when they are
- 21:09Speaker 2: talking about angels, I want to be in the forefront.
- 21:14Speaker 2: I want the system that is inclusive. So he's saying
- 21:19Speaker 2: that I want the angelic part to be represented in
- 21:23Speaker 2: the system of the Godhead. Let's have angels there. And
- 21:30Speaker 2: so I was able to convince one third just by
- 21:34Speaker 2: telling them we are under a system that doesn't have
- 21:36Speaker 2: us included. Our agitations are not heard. I want to
- 21:41Speaker 2: stand on your behalf. I want to be there to
- 21:44Speaker 2: represent you. I want to bring your own interests so
- 21:49Speaker 2: that they can consider certain things. It can't just be
- 21:52Speaker 2: about them. Vote for me. Let's have a system of government,
- 21:57Speaker 2: of the people, by the people, for the people. Lord General,
- 22:01Speaker 2: the devil in command of the angels. He was going
- 22:11Speaker 2: from camp to camp and showing them how unfair God is.
- 22:20Speaker 2: You know, Every time the devil made people fall in
- 22:24Speaker 2: the Bible, he succeeded in showing them that God wasn't good.
- 22:30Speaker 2: When he came to Eve, what he made her realize
- 22:34Speaker 2: was that God didn't have your best interest at heart.
- 22:37Speaker 2: If he did, he would have asked you to eat
- 22:40Speaker 2: of this because he knows the day you eat of it,
- 22:42Speaker 2: you'll be like him. So the devil seemed to understand
- 22:47Speaker 2: quite early that it takes people time. to know who
- 22:52Speaker 2: they are. What did I say? The devil seems to
- 22:56Speaker 2: understand quite early that it takes people time to know
- 23:00Speaker 2: who they are. And that's why many people, many people
- 23:04Speaker 2: wait for things to validate them before they know who
- 23:09Speaker 2: they are. Many wait for certain selfies on their phone
- 23:13Speaker 2: of those they feel are powerful people before they know
- 23:16Speaker 2: who they are. Many wait for certain kind of cars
- 23:20Speaker 2: Before they know who they are. But the Bible said,
- 23:23Speaker 2: it does not appear what we shall become. If you
- 23:31Speaker 2: know who you are in Christ, you have reduced the
- 23:34Speaker 2: wiles of the devil by 50%. Just by knowing who
- 23:37Speaker 2: you are. Because he wants to present you. Now look
- 23:40Speaker 2: at what the devil told Jesus. I mean, if you
- 23:43Speaker 2: look at the temptation, sometimes you feel they are insulting.
- 23:47Speaker 2: If you are the son of God, he showed him
- 23:49Speaker 2: the glory of this world in a flash. He said,
- 23:53Speaker 2: bow to me. All the beauty you have seen now,
- 23:56Speaker 2: I will give you. For it has been handed over
- 23:59Speaker 2: to me. So, hold on a minute. The devil did
- 24:06Speaker 2: not stop at rebelling and falling with angels. He believed
- 24:11Speaker 2: he could recruit part of the Godhead in the fall.
- 24:14Speaker 2: You didn't hear that? The devil actually believed. He believed
- 24:25Speaker 2: that he could recruit part of the Godhead in the fall.
- 24:32Speaker 2: He was checking to see if there was synergy between
- 24:35Speaker 2: the son and the father. You should have thought about
- 24:40Speaker 2: it coming to die a cruel death. You can have
- 24:43Speaker 2: the glory without the price. The devil had the audacity
- 24:53Speaker 2: to tell Jesus bow. Who is this guy? How does
- 25:02Speaker 2: he think? Who does he think he was talking to?
- 25:06Speaker 2: He was speaking to his earthly limitations. He was speaking
- 25:11Speaker 2: to his what? Earthly limitations. I have you here now.
- 25:16Speaker 2: You can feel pain here. You can feel pain While
- 25:21Speaker 2: you are here, look for a way to bail out. Bow.
- 25:31Speaker 2: Whatever the guy is, he so much believes in himself.
- 25:36Speaker 2: And if the devil told Jesus to bow, at some
- 25:40Speaker 2: point he's going to bring you the same proposal. You
- 25:43Speaker 2: have either received it unawares, You have either bowed or
- 25:46Speaker 2: you have not yet, you are not yet doing things
- 25:49Speaker 2: that is powerful enough for the devil to be interested
- 25:51Speaker 2: in you bowing. Let me come again. You have either
- 25:59Speaker 2: bowed without knowing or the time has not come because
- 26:05Speaker 2: you are not doing things powerful enough to bow. What
- 26:08Speaker 2: does it mean to bow? It means to put his
- 26:11Speaker 2: interest as number one. Whatever you bow to takes preeminence
- 26:15Speaker 2: in your life. So the devil wanted something so bad.
- 26:26Speaker 2: Is it a crime to say, I want to be
- 26:28Speaker 2: like you, the most high. I want to be like
- 26:33Speaker 2: the most high. I want my seat to be in
- 26:36Speaker 2: the side of the north. I want to be like you.
- 26:42Speaker 2: If you come and meet me and say, Apostle, I
- 26:43Speaker 2: want to be like you, how should that be an offense?
- 26:49Speaker 2: The offense here is your jurisdiction is not to be
- 26:55Speaker 2: like me. That is reserved for sons. Isaiah 90, sorry,
- 27:06Speaker 2: Psalms 91 from verse 1 says, He that dwells in
- 27:09Speaker 2: the secret place of the Mosiah shall abide where? Under
- 27:13Speaker 2: the shadows of the Almighty. The Most High is that
- 27:16Speaker 2: one that will receive a name higher than every other name.
- 27:18Speaker 2: That's the Most High. That talks about the personality of
- 27:21Speaker 2: the Son. So, the devil said, I want to be
- 27:26Speaker 2: like you. What will he take? Name the price. I
- 27:33Speaker 2: want to be like you. I remember I went to
- 27:35Speaker 2: a minister somewhere and some boys came to meet me.
- 27:41Speaker 2: I've never seen that in my life. Already while I
- 27:44Speaker 2: was sitting down, a girl already flew, said she wants
- 27:47Speaker 2: to tap. I don't know what we are tapping. It's
- 27:50Speaker 2: a very useless concept. She wants to tap. Injured me.
- 27:57Speaker 2: Then some boys came to meet me and said, please come.
- 28:02Speaker 2: All these things, where they happen for this meeting, apostles,
- 28:06Speaker 2: even a fasting with a fast, even a prayer, it
- 28:10Speaker 2: was taught with a prayer. waiting you to do again.
- 28:16Speaker 2: And like three of them will come, yes, tell us.
- 28:18Speaker 2: I will shift him back, okay? The way this thing
- 28:23Speaker 2: is going, you are going to end up beating somebody's son.
- 28:28Speaker 2: I said, just continue, sir. Just continue. God is going
- 28:31Speaker 2: to strengthen you. I decree, receive, in the name of Jesus.
- 28:34Speaker 2: You must start to find your way out. To want
- 28:39Speaker 2: something without going through the right route is to be
- 28:41Speaker 2: a thief. It is possible that someone desires somewhere higher,
- 28:52Speaker 2: not because he wants to serve, but because he actually,
- 28:57Speaker 2: what the devil wanted, please sit down. If you read,
- 29:00Speaker 2: I need to take you into this. If you read
- 29:03Speaker 2: what he was asking from the beginning, it looks so innocent.
- 29:06Speaker 2: But we are going to learn over time that he
- 29:09Speaker 2: just needed to, he was saying, I want to be
- 29:10Speaker 2: like the Mosai. As an access, what he actually wanted
- 29:14Speaker 2: was to topple the government. He was not interested in
- 29:18Speaker 2: stopping there. He wanted complete takeover. He failed. He failed.
- 29:24Speaker 2: That God was not smart or wise enough to be
- 29:29Speaker 2: in charge. He has his own methods. There are things
- 29:34Speaker 2: he feels that should be happening. And they were not happening. So,
- 29:40Speaker 2: now look at this. When we now go to Genesis 1.26.
- 29:45Speaker 2: Look at this. Genesis 1.26. Let's turn our Bibles there quickly.
- 29:51Speaker 2: Look at what the Bible says. And God said, let
- 29:54Speaker 2: us make you man in our image. And after our likeness. Now,
- 30:02Speaker 2: there was another meeting in heaven. The idea now is
- 30:05Speaker 2: that we will not just make a being that is
- 30:07Speaker 2: like the Mosai. All of us is going to share
- 30:10Speaker 2: properties with us. It is like a rogue general fell. Despite,
- 30:23Speaker 2: do you know what it means to fight a war?
- 30:25Speaker 2: The Bible did not say there was a riot in heaven.
- 30:27Speaker 2: It said war. He waited for this thing that man
- 30:35Speaker 2: was given. He waited for it. Then God had the audacity,
- 30:39Speaker 2: let us make man in our own image. After our likeness,
- 30:43Speaker 2: let them have dominion over the fish of the sea,
- 30:46Speaker 2: over the fowl of the hare, and over the cattle,
- 30:50Speaker 2: and over all the earth. And over every creeping thing
- 30:55Speaker 2: that creeps upon the earth. What he wanted, it was
- 30:58Speaker 2: given to a being who didn't pray for it. So
- 31:03Speaker 2: the idea, the whole concept of joint hair is insulting
- 31:07Speaker 2: to the devil. How dare you? Man. Who is man?
- 31:19Speaker 2: The idea of man made from the beginning. The idea
- 31:23Speaker 2: of this guy is a supernatural being. One who is
- 31:28Speaker 2: terrestrial but is also celestial. One who functions on the
- 31:34Speaker 2: surface of the earth. But the intelligence with which he
- 31:37Speaker 2: operates is from above. One who can straddle realms. Are
- 31:46Speaker 2: you with me now? That's the idea. One that can
- 31:54Speaker 2: interact with this earth. He has his body as the
- 31:57Speaker 2: physical license to operate here. Body is spiritual.
- 32:01Speaker 1: Spiritual.
- 32:05Speaker 2: The idea of that man was to be like. Look
- 32:08Speaker 2: at it. Let us make man in our image. And
- 32:11Speaker 2: after a word, likeness. Wow. Let them have dominion. Can
- 32:18Speaker 2: you give me this Genesis 1.26 message translation? I want
- 32:24Speaker 2: us to look at something. And God spoke, let us
- 32:29Speaker 2: make human beings in our image. Make them reflect in
- 32:32Speaker 2: our nature so they can be responsible. Hey, you don't
- 32:37Speaker 2: understand that. You can't carry that nature and have no responsibility.
- 32:44Speaker 2: The moment you become joint heirs, one of the things
- 32:49Speaker 2: you are burdened with is the responsibility of protection of
- 32:52Speaker 2: your domain. So that they can be responsible for the
- 32:55Speaker 2: fish of the sea, for the birds of the air. Now,
- 32:58Speaker 2: look at this. What you should focus here is not
- 33:01Speaker 2: the creature, but the realms. So that they can be
- 33:06Speaker 2: responsible for the sea, for the air, for the land.
- 33:13Speaker 2: Every domain that anything existing is, put them in charge.
- 33:21Speaker 2: I've seen people get offended and angry. That if God
- 33:25Speaker 2: is real, why is the world the way it is?
- 33:30Speaker 2: Why is there chaos? The person whose existence we should
- 33:33Speaker 2: debate is yours. What did I say? The person whose
- 33:40Speaker 2: existence we should debate is yours. Because he's doing what
- 33:43Speaker 2: he should do. The question is, are you responsible? That's
- 33:47Speaker 2: the question. It should not be, where is God while
- 33:54Speaker 2: it ought? Where are the people? Is there no balm
- 33:58Speaker 2: in Gilead? Where are those that should be responsible for this?
- 34:04Speaker 2: So the idea is, the very thing he wanted, he
- 34:10Speaker 2: sat down in the shadows, lurking in darkness and watching
- 34:15Speaker 2: how God endowed man with it. He watched how God
- 34:18Speaker 2: came down And with his own hands did not speak
- 34:21Speaker 2: this one into being, but molded him with the dust
- 34:25Speaker 2: of the head into specification. All the nerves, all the veins,
- 34:30Speaker 2: all the muscles, all the tissues, all the organs. And
- 34:34Speaker 2: God was careful about this craft. And when God was done,
- 34:38Speaker 2: although the hand of God had molded him, God did
- 34:41Speaker 2: not stop there. Then he released the very life of himself.
- 34:49Speaker 2: And the Bible said immediately, man became a living soul.
- 34:55Speaker 2: That is, there was an intermediary component that can organize
- 34:58Speaker 2: the two. Wow. Do you know that when the Bible
- 35:08Speaker 2: said God breathed into his nostrils, biologically, what comes to
- 35:13Speaker 2: your mind is, God doesn't breathe oxygen. The Bible made
- 35:23Speaker 2: it clear. He's not man that he should lie. Neither
- 35:27Speaker 2: is he son of man that he should what? Repent.
- 35:30Speaker 2: What does God breathe? I think I have an idea.
- 35:33Speaker 2: Psalms 18. Let's see it. Psalms 18. You want to
- 35:43Speaker 2: know what he gave you? Huh? You want to know? Okay.
- 35:48Speaker 2: Psalms 18. Let me start the reading from verse 3.
- 35:54Speaker 2: I will call upon the Lord who is worthy to
- 35:56Speaker 2: be praised, so shall I be saved from my enemies.
- 35:59Speaker 2: The sorrows of death come past me. The flood of
- 36:01Speaker 2: ungodly men made me afraid. The sorrows of hell come
- 36:04Speaker 2: past me about. The snares of death prevented me. Verse
- 36:07Speaker 2: 6 now. In my distress, I called upon the Lord
- 36:10Speaker 2: and cried unto my God. He heard my cry out
- 36:14Speaker 2: of his temple, and my cry came before him, even
- 36:17Speaker 2: into his ears. Then the head shook and trembled. The
- 36:21Speaker 2: foundations also of the hills were shaken because he was wrought.
- 36:25Speaker 2: Then went up water out of his nostrils. Huh? What
- 36:30Speaker 2: came out of his mouth? Fire. He breathed fire. The
- 36:39Speaker 2: Bible may declare that the Lord himself is a what?
- 36:41Speaker 2: Consuming fire. The vital force he released into man was
- 36:47Speaker 2: more than hair. It must be something that makes him
- 36:51Speaker 2: who he is. Fire. Say it loud and clear, I
- 36:59Speaker 2: am not ordinary. You are not saying it like you
- 37:03Speaker 2: are aware. Say it again like you know it. I
- 37:07Speaker 2: am not ordinary. There is nothing normal about my life.
- 37:15Speaker 2: Have you seen sometimes we are praying for the sick
- 37:18Speaker 2: or praying for someone And sometimes you blow on the person.
- 37:24Speaker 2: And the power of God follows. Is that oxygen? The
- 37:29Speaker 2: hair only carries something beyond what the eyes can see.
- 37:35Speaker 2: The devil saw God molding him. What have we not
- 37:40Speaker 2: seen before? Keep doing what you're doing. And he was watching.
- 37:47Speaker 2: Adam was standing. And God was doing what he was doing.
- 37:53Speaker 2: He was turning around, fitting the hair, checking the legs,
- 37:58Speaker 2: the femur, the biceps, the triceps. What do you think
- 38:08Speaker 2: the devil must have been saying? It's okay, round up,
- 38:10Speaker 2: round up, stop there, stop. Till he saw God stand
- 38:15Speaker 2: in front of him and he opened his mouth. And
- 38:21Speaker 2: he was angry. From that moment, his major goal, his
- 38:28Speaker 2: battle cry, became whatever he must do to make man
- 38:33Speaker 2: lose that bread. That was what he wanted. As long
- 38:41Speaker 2: as he carries that vital part of God, the devil
- 38:44Speaker 2: won't have free space. Do you notice? Do you know
- 38:54Speaker 2: how dangerous that breath was? Because God will only put
- 38:58Speaker 2: it in one man. From that moment, anything taken from
- 39:02Speaker 2: him has it. Do you know the reason why when
- 39:05Speaker 2: he took Eve as a rib, he never breathed into her?
- 39:08Speaker 2: Every cell, everything in him carries so much of that.
- 39:14Speaker 2: So it was going to be moving everywhere and distributing
- 39:17Speaker 2: that vital force from God. So the question is, how
- 39:20Speaker 2: can we make this life become dead? That was the question.
- 39:30Speaker 2: So when he saw that Adam was busy somewhere else
- 39:37Speaker 2: and he saw Eve, he saw there was a chance
- 39:43Speaker 2: and he came. As God told you, that you should
- 39:48Speaker 2: not eat of every tree of the garden? Number one,
- 39:51Speaker 2: that question is an insult because the question suggests that
- 39:55Speaker 2: God has created you and is making you starve. And Eve,
- 40:00Speaker 2: in a bid to defend God, said, he had to
- 40:03Speaker 2: give us right to eat of every tree, but the
- 40:06Speaker 2: tree in the middle of the garden, he said we
- 40:08Speaker 2: should not eat, neither should we touch. Ah, the devil
- 40:14Speaker 2: saw there was an extract. Okay, now. So don't mind God.
- 40:20Speaker 2: He knows that the day you eat it, you'll be
- 40:24Speaker 2: like him. You'll know good, you'll know evil. Now, hold
- 40:29Speaker 2: on a minute. What the devil wanted in Genesis 3
- 40:34Speaker 2: was two things. What he achieved was one. What did
- 40:39Speaker 2: I say he wanted? How many things? Two things. Eating
- 40:44Speaker 2: of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, as
- 40:46Speaker 2: bad as it was, it was not going to get
- 40:49Speaker 2: the job done. They needed to eat too. Eat the
- 40:54Speaker 2: tree of the knowledge of good and evil, be corrupted.
- 40:57Speaker 2: Then also, eat quickly the tree of life. So you
- 41:01Speaker 2: are irredeemable. Why? When you eat of that, number one,
- 41:04Speaker 2: you have entered into a realm that forgiveness doesn't exist.
- 41:07Speaker 2: That's the realm of eternity. There's no forgiveness in that realm.
- 41:13Speaker 2: When the devil fell, it was not like God could
- 41:15Speaker 2: not forgive him. But in the forgiveness, mercy only exists
- 41:18Speaker 2: in the terrestrial world. The moment you die, the moment
- 41:23Speaker 2: you draw your last breath from here, you can no
- 41:26Speaker 2: longer obtain mercy. That's why you'll see that at the rapture,
- 41:37Speaker 2: the Bible said, at the sound of the archangel, the
- 41:40Speaker 2: dead in Christ will rise first. Even if somebody has
- 41:46Speaker 2: died a thousand years ago, if the fellow is not
- 41:48Speaker 2: in Christ, the fellow can't get mercy in the grave.
- 41:52Speaker 2: The best time to win souls is now. The best
- 41:55Speaker 2: time to serve Jesus is now. The best time to
- 41:58Speaker 2: grow in the spirit is now. Whatever state you die in,
- 42:01Speaker 2: that's your state. That's your state. That's your state. So
- 42:07Speaker 2: when the Bible gave us the work of the apostle, prophet, evangelist,
- 42:10Speaker 2: and all the pastors, all those things, they are only
- 42:14Speaker 2: to be achieved here. Okay, let me say something in code.
- 42:19Speaker 2: You know what, I don't know. I know we have
- 42:24Speaker 2: different generations. But while we were growing, these TV stars
- 42:28Speaker 2: we know, it's not all these ones now. The TV
- 42:31Speaker 2: stars we know was Jaguar. Gen Z's, don't worry. There
- 42:38Speaker 2: used to be a man called Jaguar. Then there's another
- 42:43Speaker 2: man called Baba Salah. Those are the guys we know.
- 42:46Speaker 2: My belly, my head, those are the guys we know.
- 42:50Speaker 2: I remember I would sit down and I said, when
- 42:52Speaker 2: I get to Lagos, I'm going to meet Jaguar. I've
- 42:58Speaker 2: never been to Lagos then. I was in the north
- 42:59Speaker 2: all my life. I felt when you get to Lagos,
- 43:03Speaker 2: you just meet Jaguar. The same way some people now
- 43:09Speaker 2: feel when I get to heaven. I'll just be talking
- 43:11Speaker 2: to David. Okay. Okay. I'm just going to sit down
- 43:21Speaker 2: with Paul. Remember he's not omnipresent. Okay. Um Let me
- 43:38Speaker 2: just say something. It might be a serious theological issue
- 43:42Speaker 2: for you. But hope you know, from the moment Jesus
- 43:48Speaker 2: came to this world, he became a man. When he
- 43:53Speaker 2: rose from the grave, he rose as a man. When
- 43:55Speaker 2: he showed himself to them 40 days, there was no
- 43:58Speaker 2: account of them seeing him in two places at once. Okay. Okay.
- 44:10Speaker 2: I'm just going to be sitting down at the feet
- 44:12Speaker 2: of Jesus, talking to Jesus. Will we see Jesus in heaven? Yes.
- 44:31Speaker 2: But children have, based on their growth, Their eyes are
- 44:39Speaker 2: open in different levels. When you give birth to a child,
- 44:45Speaker 2: they can't see well. As they grow, they start seeing
- 44:48Speaker 2: grey images, like negatives, start forming complex eyesight, start developing.
- 44:56Speaker 2: Some died before they could see. Let's leave that. So,
- 45:14Speaker 2: The battle cry of the devil. How can we lose
- 45:20Speaker 2: this thing? How can we take it away? We must
- 45:22Speaker 2: know how people carry this life. If we have them,
- 45:27Speaker 2: that's trouble. So the moment man fell, as a matter
- 45:33Speaker 2: of fact, I need to take time to show you
- 45:35Speaker 2: this scripture. Genesis chapter number 3. Let's see this scripture.
- 45:40Speaker 2: Genesis 3. Let's jump a bit. Let's start the reading
- 45:55Speaker 2: from verse 5. Please project it. If you are there,
- 46:05Speaker 2: say amen. Now look at this. For God doth know
- 46:09Speaker 2: that in the day you eat thereof, your eyes shall
- 46:12Speaker 2: be what? Open. And you shall be as what? God's.
- 46:15Speaker 2: Knowing good and evil. In whose image did he make them?
- 46:24Speaker 2: Look at verse 6 now. And when the woman saw
- 46:28Speaker 2: that a tree was good for food and that it
- 46:31Speaker 2: was pleasant to the eyes and a tree to be
- 46:33Speaker 2: desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit
- 46:37Speaker 2: thereof and did eat and gave also unto her husband
- 46:42Speaker 2: with her and he did eat. Okay? Yes. Verse 7.
- 46:52Speaker 2: What would have been the possible implication of Eve eating
- 46:55Speaker 2: and Adam refusing to eat? Talk to me. Okay. Whatever
- 47:03Speaker 2: it would have been, that's to you and your imagination. But,
- 47:08Speaker 2: we know what happened when Adam ate it. It was
- 47:12Speaker 2: the one, it was the target. It was in his
- 47:16Speaker 2: loins that all humanity were connected when he ate it.
- 47:21Speaker 2: The Bible said, sin entered the world and death through sin.
- 47:26Speaker 2: We died in his loins. That is, hold on a minute.
- 47:29Speaker 2: That we died in his loins doesn't mean we stopped existing.
- 47:31Speaker 2: It means we're existing in a form without that. We're
- 47:38Speaker 2: existing in the form without the bread. Romans 5.12. Wherefore,
- 47:45Speaker 2: as by one man, what? Sin entered into the world,
- 47:48Speaker 2: and death by sin. And so death passed on who?
- 47:51Speaker 2: All men. For all have sinned. Look at verse 13 now.
- 48:00Speaker 2: For until the law of sin in the world, continue, yes. Continue. Nevertheless,
- 48:07Speaker 2: death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that
- 48:10Speaker 2: had not sinned, after the similitude of Adam's transgression. So
- 48:14Speaker 2: you don't have to sin to be a sinner. It
- 48:17Speaker 2: was in nature. It becomes the core, the cast you
- 48:20Speaker 2: were formed in. You see, let me tell you this.
- 48:26Speaker 2: The only human being God came to form was Adam.
- 48:37Speaker 2: God only came to form Adam. God is no longer forming.
- 48:47Speaker 2: He has formed. How do I explain this now? When
- 48:56Speaker 2: the Bible said, you see, apart from ministry and all that,
- 49:01Speaker 2: I teach people, leaders of organizations, how to manage the organizations.
- 49:10Speaker 2: I teach ministry leaders how how to build solid managerial team.
- 49:14Speaker 2: And where I really got the knowledge from, apart from books,
- 49:18Speaker 2: was Genesis. Your organization is not standing if you don't
- 49:22Speaker 2: have rest. Okay. Ideally, one of the signs that you
- 49:27Speaker 2: have good structure is that the bigger the work, the
- 49:30Speaker 2: more your rest. If what you are building is getting
- 49:35Speaker 2: bigger and you are getting more stressed, you have missed something.
- 49:41Speaker 2: Because wise people employ structures. And they make sure structures
- 49:47Speaker 2: get complex to become systems. Self-producing, self-replicating. God did it
- 49:56Speaker 2: in such a way that he would not have to
- 49:57Speaker 2: come down and say, Oh, I want to mold a
- 49:59Speaker 2: child for Bisola. I want to mold another child for Ada.
- 50:03Speaker 2: Everything is in your loins. What you did not pay
- 50:08Speaker 2: attention to was that The devil was intentional about the
- 50:12Speaker 2: timing of the fall. He did not, listen. Are you
- 50:21Speaker 2: with me? He didn't need them to fall 10 years time,
- 50:25Speaker 2: in 20 years time. They need to fall before a
- 50:28Speaker 2: child was formed in the womb. Because if a child
- 50:33Speaker 2: was formed in the womb, there would have been no
- 50:35Speaker 2: need for Jesus to come. It would have just been
- 50:37Speaker 2: done with Adam and Eve. Now there is someone to
- 50:39Speaker 2: carry it on. What the devil is doing? How's timing? Ah,
- 50:43Speaker 2: you didn't hear me? So it was important that the
- 50:50Speaker 2: fall is as quickly as it can happen. What if
- 50:53Speaker 2: they understand is that that pressure you feel is not
- 50:58Speaker 2: going to be forever. It needs you to fall before
- 51:01Speaker 2: something is born. Yes, I'm telling you now. So the
- 51:05Speaker 2: pressure is not going to be for 10 years, 20 years,
- 51:07Speaker 2: 30 years. No, no, no. It will leave you for
- 51:09Speaker 2: a while. There's something you want to bet, even when
- 51:13Speaker 2: you don't know it. So it's going to put so
- 51:17Speaker 2: much pressure just before you bet it. So that you
- 51:22Speaker 2: bet corruption. If you bet it, you will have to
- 51:26Speaker 2: go back. Do you know that the devil, there are
- 51:29Speaker 2: times the devil accepts that I have failed over this person.
- 51:35Speaker 2: I have failed. I have failed. There are times they
- 51:39Speaker 2: will look at a generation and say, I have failed
- 51:40Speaker 2: over this generation. He will now go back and wait
- 51:47Speaker 2: for their loophole. Even if he can't afflict them again,
- 51:52Speaker 2: but that loophole will affect the next generation. It can
- 51:55Speaker 2: be done with these ones. And while these ones are
- 51:57Speaker 2: basking in their glory, he's already dealing with the next generation. Okay.
- 52:12Speaker 2: so Eve just before you conceive fall so she took
- 52:21Speaker 2: she ate in all honesty there was absolutely was Eve
- 52:29Speaker 2: in rebellion for 18 years But that rebellion, the consequence
- 52:34Speaker 2: was not yet transgenerational. Eve was not what he wanted.
- 52:40Speaker 2: Adam was what he wanted. Eve knew he could not
- 52:45Speaker 2: get Adam, but he could get Adam through what Adam loved.
- 52:55Speaker 2: Do you think the devil will ever fight you with
- 52:57Speaker 2: what you have overcome? No. He's going to fight you
- 53:06Speaker 2: with your weakness. He will never serve you food you
- 53:10Speaker 2: have no appetite for. If you leave Adam by himself,
- 53:15Speaker 2: he won't eat it. But coming from my wife, give
- 53:17Speaker 2: it to me. You know, I read a story from
- 53:21Speaker 2: the man of God, John Hage, John Hage, sorry, John Hagen,
- 53:27Speaker 2: but the pronunciation now. The wife, they wrote a book together,
- 53:33Speaker 2: all right? So the wife said, one day he came
- 53:35Speaker 2: back from the office, was worried, was disgruntled, just saying,
- 53:39Speaker 2: we would not have been in this mess if Adam
- 53:41Speaker 2: didn't fall. What nonsense is this? Look at what the
- 53:43Speaker 2: fall of man did to us. See, only God knows
- 53:47Speaker 2: why he went to eat the apple. Nobody told us
- 53:50Speaker 2: it was an apple. Whether it's tomatoes, we don't know.
- 53:56Speaker 2: While he was complaining, the wife was in the kitchen cooking.
- 54:00Speaker 2: So what she did was that she just sliced some fruit.
- 54:05Speaker 2: And then she came and sat on his laps and
- 54:07Speaker 2: gave him. So he was complaining. Then she said, you
- 54:13Speaker 2: have no right to blame Adam. Okay? You have no
- 54:17Speaker 2: right to blame Adam. It matters who is giving you.
- 54:20Speaker 2: It matters. It matters. It matters who is giving you.
- 54:32Speaker 2: Now Eve heard. We can't tell for how long she
- 54:37Speaker 2: had eaten before Adam came. But look at what the
- 54:39Speaker 2: Bible says in verse 6. And when the woman saw
- 54:44Speaker 2: that the tree was good for food, Genesis 3 verse 6,
- 54:49Speaker 2: and that it was pleasant to the eyes, a tree
- 54:51Speaker 2: to be desired to make one wise, she took up
- 54:53Speaker 2: the fruit thereof and did eat, and gave also to
- 54:57Speaker 2: her husband with her, and he did eat. What did
- 55:01Speaker 2: the Bible say next? And the eyes of them both
- 55:02Speaker 2: were opened. And they knew that they were naked. And
- 55:06Speaker 2: they sealed fig leaves together and made themselves aprons. This
- 55:14Speaker 2: is where religion came in. Religion is human attempt to
- 55:18Speaker 2: cover what the presence should cover. It's supposed to be
- 55:25Speaker 2: powered by life. Life. Not figs.
- 55:29Speaker 1: Life.
- 55:30Speaker 2: Now, immediately that happened verse 8 and they heard the
- 55:37Speaker 2: voice of the Lord walking in the garden in the
- 55:40Speaker 2: cool of the day and Adam and his wife hid
- 55:43Speaker 2: themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the
- 55:47Speaker 2: trees of the garden and the Lord God called to
- 55:50Speaker 2: Adam and said to him where are you and he
- 55:55Speaker 2: said I heard your voice in the garden and I
- 55:58Speaker 2: was afraid oh so man now knows fear Because I
- 56:03Speaker 2: was naked and I hid myself. And he said, who
- 56:08Speaker 2: told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of
- 56:12Speaker 2: the tree whereof I command you? God who sees all
- 56:16Speaker 2: is asking, have you eaten? From the moment they ate it,
- 56:23Speaker 2: they were no longer in their positional place. He knew
- 56:27Speaker 2: that they were dead. And that death is not cessation
- 56:32Speaker 2: from existence. It is the departure of the nature of God.
- 56:40Speaker 2: Eventually nobody is going to cease from existing. As long
- 56:42Speaker 2: as you've been created. Your spirit is eternal. Either in
- 56:45Speaker 2: hell or eternity or heaven. Now look at this. And
- 56:52Speaker 2: he said, who told you that you were naked? Have
- 56:53Speaker 2: you eaten of the food I said you should not eat?
- 56:55Speaker 2: And the man said, the woman whom you gave to
- 56:58Speaker 2: be with me. She gave me of the tree and
- 57:02Speaker 2: I did eat. And the Lord said to the woman,
- 57:05Speaker 2: what is this that you have done? And the woman said,
- 57:09Speaker 2: the serpent beguiled me and I did eat. And the
- 57:13Speaker 2: Lord God said to the serpent, because you have done this,
- 57:17Speaker 2: you are cursed above all cattle and above all beasts
- 57:22Speaker 2: of the field. On your belly shall you go and
- 57:25Speaker 2: the dust shall you eat all the days of your life.
- 57:27Speaker 2: Now you have to pay attention to that verse 14.
- 57:30Speaker 2: When God said, the dust you will eat all the
- 57:32Speaker 2: days of. That's a very serious word. Now look at
- 57:35Speaker 2: verse 15. And I will put enmity between you and
- 57:40Speaker 2: the woman. Between your seed and her seed. It shall
- 57:43Speaker 2: bruise your head and you shall bruise his heel. Enmity
- 57:46Speaker 2: between you and the one who made you fall is
- 57:48Speaker 2: not a curse. It is a blessing. True? Yes. Do
- 57:52Speaker 2: you agree to that? To the woman he said, I
- 57:57Speaker 2: will greatly multiply your sorrow and and your conception. In
- 58:04Speaker 2: sorrow shall you bring forth children, and your desire shall
- 58:07Speaker 2: be to your husband, and he shall rule over you. Now,
- 58:09Speaker 2: let me explain this. Probably you've not gotten the explanation before.
- 58:15Speaker 2: They have sinned. The nature that they now have is dead.
- 58:24Speaker 2: They are producing death. Multiplying your sorrow in conception means
- 58:30Speaker 2: we have to find a way That is painful. To
- 58:33Speaker 2: slow down your multiplication. You must not increase with fast pace.
- 58:37Speaker 2: In this dead state. How do I come now? Listen.
- 58:57Speaker 2: If the. We're giving birth fast. Fast. The thing is sweet.
- 59:02Speaker 2: Give birth. Just go there. Baby don't come. In that
- 59:07Speaker 2: dead state. the purpose of God won't come to pass.
- 59:14Speaker 2: It won't. Because there will be too many dysfunctional people
- 59:18Speaker 2: on the face of the earth. So we have to
- 59:20Speaker 2: find a way to slow it down. Pain must be
- 59:23Speaker 2: made to govern that. You say, why didn't he reverse that?
- 59:26Speaker 2: In fact, let me say this to you. At redemption
- 59:29Speaker 2: or at salvation, Everything said from the beginning was not reversed. Ah, yes.
- 59:36Speaker 2: Not everything was reversed. I'll tell you why. So, saying,
- 59:40Speaker 2: sorry shall bring forth your children. Ah, okay. Let me
- 59:43Speaker 2: answer feminist. I just sense to answer. Why must women
- 59:52Speaker 2: be the one to be the one? Now, men, they born. So,
- 59:57Speaker 2: why are we giving birth to? He also pointed out
- 1:00:03Speaker 2: here that ruling over your wife is a curse. Say
- 1:00:09Speaker 2: your husband will rule over you. That's not a blessing.
- 1:00:13Speaker 2: But he said your desire will be to your husband.
- 1:00:16Speaker 2: That's good. But the rule over you is not. That's
- 1:00:20Speaker 2: a consequence. That's a serious one. I'm careful now. Verse
- 1:00:24Speaker 2: 17 now. And to Adam he said, because you have
- 1:00:28Speaker 2: akin to the voice of who?
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: Your wife.
- 1:00:31Speaker 2: Your wife. Don't forget that Adam was sick, carrying you
- 1:00:35Speaker 2: and I in his loins. Look at what he said.
- 1:00:42Speaker 2: And you have eaten of the tree which I command you, saying,
- 1:00:45Speaker 2: thou shalt not eat of it. Cost is the ground
- 1:00:49Speaker 2: for your... That's the law of substitution. When I look
- 1:00:57Speaker 2: at you, I still see myself. The ground is cost
- 1:01:01Speaker 2: for your sake. It is like your child has done
- 1:01:07Speaker 2: something and you hold a belt. You want to spank
- 1:01:10Speaker 2: the child, then you hit the ground. Tons and tissues
- 1:01:17Speaker 2: it will bring for you. So even in the fallen
- 1:01:21Speaker 2: state of Adam, God did not curse him. How can
- 1:01:29Speaker 2: the one who is now in Christ believe he is cursed?
- 1:01:40Speaker 2: It's because you don't know how much you are loved.
- 1:01:49Speaker 2: You are God's child given birth to in an earthly family.
- 1:01:55Speaker 2: Whether that family is rich or not, I don't know.
- 1:02:00Speaker 2: But don't carry that baggage and use it as a
- 1:02:03Speaker 2: yasi to measure your heavenly home. your father is not broke.
- 1:02:17Speaker 2: You might know what it means to be sent home
- 1:02:18Speaker 2: for school fees here while you were going to secondary
- 1:02:20Speaker 2: school or whatever. Some of us went to schools that
- 1:02:24Speaker 2: they will send you back home from assembly ground. If
- 1:02:28Speaker 2: you have not paid your school fees, remain standing. Then
- 1:02:31Speaker 2: you go back inside. That's not who God is. In fact,
- 1:02:39Speaker 2: in Ephesians 1.3, the Bible says, He has blessed us
- 1:02:41Speaker 2: with all spiritual blessings. Say it loud and clear, I
- 1:02:55Speaker 2: am blessed. Say it again one more time, I am blessed.
- 1:03:01Speaker 2: I am blessed. Can I say this, that there is
- 1:03:07Speaker 2: no scripture in the epistles that suggests that a new
- 1:03:11Speaker 2: man in Christ can be caused. The New Testament, the
- 1:03:25Speaker 2: gospels are the books, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, that shows
- 1:03:31Speaker 2: us the humanity of Jesus. Alright? His humanity, his death,
- 1:03:38Speaker 2: his resurrection. The book of Acts detailed the journey of
- 1:03:44Speaker 2: the early church. What they did with the Holy Ghost
- 1:03:48Speaker 2: and how the move began. The epistles explains why he came.
- 1:03:56Speaker 2: And shows us what we, the epistles is what Paul,
- 1:04:00Speaker 2: whoever that guy was, He didn't have the privilege to
- 1:04:05Speaker 2: be among the 12, but he did what they couldn't do.
- 1:04:12Speaker 2: He understood. He will explain some things. Sometimes even Peter
- 1:04:17Speaker 2: will say this thing is hard. That guy. Don't forget
- 1:04:26Speaker 2: that with all the things he did, they still caught
- 1:04:28Speaker 2: his head to a level. So to think when people
- 1:04:32Speaker 2: are against you, it means you are not powerful. I'm
- 1:04:35Speaker 2: going to teach you about that concept. He explained it.
- 1:04:45Speaker 2: You can't curse the one who is. Christ became cursed
- 1:04:47Speaker 2: for a sake. He became. Because it is written, cursed
- 1:04:52Speaker 2: is everyone that hangs on a tree. So in Israel,
- 1:04:56Speaker 2: when they see people hanging on a tree, they are
- 1:04:57Speaker 2: already cursed. They are damned. Do you know what the
- 1:05:00Speaker 2: cross is? The cross is a very serious sign. You
- 1:05:02Speaker 2: are suspended. Rejected by men. Rejected by... He had never
- 1:05:10Speaker 2: been in that state where the father would turn back.
- 1:05:14Speaker 2: And he didn't turn back because he hated this one.
- 1:05:17Speaker 2: He turned back because the rot needs to be finished.
- 1:05:21Speaker 2: That is the price for you to be born. Amen.
- 1:05:26Speaker 2: The same way women will go to the labor room
- 1:05:28Speaker 2: and push. My wife said to me, you have to
- 1:05:33Speaker 2: follow me. I said, I can't. I'm not going. I'm
- 1:05:39Speaker 2: going to be paying. She said, baby, please help me.
- 1:05:46Speaker 2: Please help me too. I can't stand it. I will
- 1:05:51Speaker 2: pass out. I know. And I'm telling you my limit.
- 1:06:01Speaker 2: I can't. Please. The Lord shall go with you. One
- 1:06:14Speaker 2: of my friends actually fainted in labor. He saw the
- 1:06:19Speaker 2: way the woman was going to push the person. He
- 1:06:23Speaker 2: was just going... Anyway, Lord. I'm unable to tell you
- 1:06:29Speaker 2: what that means. The woman who was pushing was not
- 1:06:34Speaker 2: the one who was laughing. Because whenever life must be born,
- 1:06:44Speaker 2: blood must be a witness. That was the price. He
- 1:06:52Speaker 2: took that death. Yes. You need to understand what we
- 1:06:57Speaker 2: are talking about. Before he died, the devil wanted to do,
- 1:07:04Speaker 2: he quickly made sure, angels, come, come, go and sleep
- 1:07:06Speaker 2: with the daughters of men. So that he will redeem
- 1:07:09Speaker 2: men and our kind. So that their kind will spread.
- 1:07:15Speaker 2: Now it will be that the devil also will find redemption.
- 1:07:18Speaker 2: Never you think that angels sleeping with men was just
- 1:07:21Speaker 2: an attempt of the devil to just rebel. No!
- 1:07:22Speaker 1: No!
- 1:07:23Speaker 2: They wanted to be a part of the commonwealth. That's
- 1:07:26Speaker 2: why angels went to sleep with women. To be a
- 1:07:28Speaker 2: part of the commonwealth. If we can't get it, they
- 1:07:31Speaker 2: will get it here. So it will be that God
- 1:07:36Speaker 2: will have to save an hybrid. Saving an hybrid means
- 1:07:39Speaker 2: that the devil too has legal rights. God, in a
- 1:07:42Speaker 2: bid to save you, had to make a drastic decision.
- 1:07:46Speaker 2: He had two options. Option number one, let them continue
- 1:07:50Speaker 2: and then we have high breath and man is out.
- 1:07:52Speaker 2: Now we are not God-like but angel-like men. Nephilims. God
- 1:07:57Speaker 2: either allowed that continue or the second option, take a
- 1:08:00Speaker 2: massive step, wipe them out. It took the drastic, painful
- 1:08:08Speaker 2: decision to wipe them out and spare the family. That
- 1:08:14Speaker 2: was all it took. So the devil saw that. I've
- 1:08:18Speaker 2: been shut out now. I've been shut out now. So
- 1:08:23Speaker 2: Jesus had to come to draft man into the godlike
- 1:08:30Speaker 2: like it was from the beginning. Like them. You have
- 1:08:33Speaker 2: to become one of them. Because man sinned. Man could
- 1:08:36Speaker 2: not pay the price. Man must pay the price. So
- 1:08:39Speaker 2: God became man. Stayed in the womb for nine months. God.
- 1:08:52Speaker 2: Jesus is not junior God. He's God. Became man. That's
- 1:09:05Speaker 2: the most humbling thing to become what you created. Stayed
- 1:09:09Speaker 2: in the womb. Was born where they gave birth to sheep.
- 1:09:14Speaker 2: Mirroring that he's coming as a sheep. That's why he
- 1:09:17Speaker 2: was born in the manger. Why? Slaughter lamb has been born.
- 1:09:23Speaker 2: It's going to go through the knife like them. Like
- 1:09:28Speaker 2: that's their kind. Grew. Was killed. He said, if I
- 1:09:39Speaker 2: wanted to save my life, I would tell my father.
- 1:09:41Speaker 2: He would send legions. He said, no one can take
- 1:09:44Speaker 2: my life. I laid it down. Even here I have authority.
- 1:09:49Speaker 2: Do you know All Jesus meant to do was to
- 1:09:52Speaker 2: signal to an angel. Do you know what angels are?
- 1:09:55Speaker 2: Angels are not jokers. They are military beings. They are
- 1:10:01Speaker 2: built to obey. When God speaks, they move. If he
- 1:10:05Speaker 2: gives them an injunction over a nation, in the twinkle
- 1:10:08Speaker 2: of an eye, one angel can sweep an entire nation clean.
- 1:10:12Speaker 2: What will it cost them to slap one man at
- 1:10:15Speaker 2: me and the brain will fly out of the skull?
- 1:10:17Speaker 2: What will it cost them? He had all those powers
- 1:10:22Speaker 2: and put it on them. And the part where he
- 1:10:27Speaker 2: was pained was when he noticed the father is no
- 1:10:32Speaker 2: longer here. The father has turned his back. He's rot.
- 1:10:39Speaker 2: And he cried, Father, Father, why have you forsaken me
- 1:10:46Speaker 2: for you to be born again? The father had to
- 1:10:49Speaker 2: turn his back. Because he was in the labor room.
- 1:10:53Speaker 2: Blood was flowing. Drowning. And in John chapter number 19.
- 1:10:59Speaker 2: From verse 18. John 19 from verse 18. Please sit down.
- 1:11:03Speaker 2: John 19 from verse 18. Look at it. Where they
- 1:11:07Speaker 2: crucified him and two other with him. On either side.
- 1:11:11Speaker 2: One and Jesus in the midst. Yes. And Pilate. Pilate.
- 1:11:17Speaker 2: wrote a title, put it on the cross, writing Jesus
- 1:11:20Speaker 2: of Nazareth, the King of the Jews. Yes. And this
- 1:11:26Speaker 2: title then, read many of the Jews for the place
- 1:11:30Speaker 2: where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city. It
- 1:11:33Speaker 2: was written in Hebrew and in Greek and in Latin. Yes.
- 1:11:36Speaker 2: And he said, let's jump to verse 28. After this,
- 1:11:42Speaker 2: Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished. That the
- 1:11:48Speaker 2: scripture might be fulfilled. Said. I thirst. 29. Now there
- 1:11:55Speaker 2: were said vessels full of vinegar. And they filled a sponge.
- 1:12:00Speaker 2: With vinegar. And put it upon an ice shop. And
- 1:12:03Speaker 2: put it to his mouth. Yes. And Jesus therefore. When
- 1:12:09Speaker 2: Jesus therefore had received the vinegar. Said. It is finished.
- 1:12:15Speaker 2: And he bowed his head. And gave up. The ghost.
- 1:12:25Speaker 2: The moment this happened. You know what happened? There was
- 1:12:28Speaker 2: earthquake everywhere. The cloud turned dark. Everywhere earthquake. That was
- 1:12:42Speaker 2: the first time. That a blood. that is sinless was
- 1:12:48Speaker 2: touching the head there was a reaction there was a
- 1:12:51Speaker 2: reaction the head has never seen that kind of blood
- 1:12:56Speaker 2: sinless spotless it's not the blood of Abel this is
- 1:13:00Speaker 2: the blood that speaks better things than the blood of
- 1:13:03Speaker 2: Abel the blood of Abel wants vengeance this is the
- 1:13:06Speaker 2: blood that says I paid in full that's the price
- 1:13:12Speaker 2: for you to become joint heirs that's the price You know,
- 1:13:35Speaker 2: when God said that it was not good for Adam
- 1:13:37Speaker 2: to be alone, God came down and caused deep sleep
- 1:13:44Speaker 2: to fall upon him. And God took off his ribs
- 1:13:49Speaker 2: and formed a woman. So the woman was born from
- 1:13:51Speaker 2: the side of the man. And Jesus was on the cross.
- 1:13:57Speaker 2: He wanted to check whether he was dead or alive.
- 1:13:59Speaker 2: They pierced that side. Because just as Eve was born,
- 1:14:03Speaker 2: a bride needs to be born. And the Bible said,
- 1:14:06Speaker 2: blood and water flowed from the side. It took God
- 1:14:15Speaker 2: taking the measure of becoming man for you to be born.
- 1:14:20Speaker 2: And all you are doing with that life is to
- 1:14:23Speaker 2: think you are ordinary. Do you know who a born
- 1:14:28Speaker 2: again Christian is? You know the funny thing? It's now
- 1:14:35Speaker 2: not even after the order of the first Adam. The
- 1:14:38Speaker 2: first Adam is a living soul. What's a living soul?
- 1:14:41Speaker 2: This one is a life-giving spirit. Say it again. The
- 1:14:51Speaker 2: life of God is at work in me. Oh, say,
- 1:14:55Speaker 2: you are not saying like you mean it. The life
- 1:14:57Speaker 2: of God is at work in me. Say it again.
- 1:14:59Speaker 2: The life of God is at work in me. I
- 1:15:03Speaker 2: am not normal. Say it one more time. The life
- 1:15:08Speaker 2: of God is at work in me. I remember years back.
- 1:15:18Speaker 2: This is well over 11 years ago. We were in
- 1:15:21Speaker 2: a place. The facility we found ourselves was a land
- 1:15:30Speaker 2: that we didn't know that was used for idol worshiping
- 1:15:35Speaker 2: before we got there. The team had gone ahead of me.
- 1:15:41Speaker 2: I got there last. The moment I stepped my feet
- 1:15:45Speaker 2: to the land, I told the people, I said, wait,
- 1:15:49Speaker 2: there's something about this place. There's a strange feet here now.
- 1:15:54Speaker 2: I bent to the ground, touched that place, and said,
- 1:15:58Speaker 2: let the fire of God saturate this land everywhere, from
- 1:16:02Speaker 2: the north to the west, all the sides of this place.
- 1:16:07Speaker 2: And that was just a simple prayer. I went to
- 1:16:09Speaker 2: bed that night. Somewhere in the middle of the night,
- 1:16:14Speaker 2: we started hearing somebody scream, I will confess, I will confess,
- 1:16:18Speaker 2: I will confess. What are you confessing? I came out.
- 1:16:21Speaker 2: They were trying to keep her short. Somebody had smuggled
- 1:16:24Speaker 2: the wife of the native. It's not in Nigeria. Had
- 1:16:28Speaker 2: smuggled the wife of... To sleep with her. The woman said, no, no,
- 1:16:32Speaker 2: I will confess. What are you confessing? She said, they
- 1:16:35Speaker 2: told us that you were coming. So we buried something
- 1:16:38Speaker 2: in the room. So she said, it's here. This is
- 1:16:42Speaker 2: where we put it. They opened the door. They brought
- 1:16:46Speaker 2: a digger. That room where they said they buried. That
- 1:16:49Speaker 2: was the room they said, Pastor, this is your room.
- 1:16:51Speaker 2: I said, I don't feel like. That was the best room.
- 1:16:55Speaker 2: I said, I don't feel like. Can I choose another one?
- 1:16:57Speaker 2: They said, yes. So I went to another room. Those
- 1:17:00Speaker 2: who said, ah, I like you, I like you. They
- 1:17:02Speaker 2: were all doing like this. And they brought out a pot.
- 1:17:12Speaker 2: Say we buried this thing here. On a concrete floor.
- 1:17:17Speaker 2: A pot. They may have the costume. We don't need
- 1:17:23Speaker 2: pots to transmit power. We don't need pots. We don't
- 1:17:30Speaker 2: need black and red calories and all that. We are powerful.
- 1:17:37Speaker 2: The greatest power in the universe is at work in us. Hey.
- 1:17:43Speaker 2: We command the envy of angelic beings. They look down
- 1:17:50Speaker 2: and ask. What is man that you are mindful of him?
- 1:17:53Speaker 2: Or the son of man that you consider him? You
- 1:17:56Speaker 2: make him a little bit lower than Elohim. That's the word. Elohim.
- 1:18:02Speaker 2: Who are these guys? Guess what? We can get into
- 1:18:05Speaker 2: territories with this. And know I am an heir of
- 1:18:08Speaker 2: the kingdom. And this Lord powers. Oh yes. Yes. Scatter principalities.
- 1:18:17Speaker 2: Rebuke them. Trample them under feet. You get to a
- 1:18:28Speaker 2: place you want to sing as a musician. You notice
- 1:18:31Speaker 2: what's awful in the atmosphere. You stand your ground. I
- 1:18:34Speaker 2: take charge of this atmosphere. And I compare everything to
- 1:18:39Speaker 2: the obedience of Christ. You must learn to take charge.
- 1:18:42Speaker 2: Learn to speak the word. Take charge. What was it?
- 1:18:50Speaker 2: Why do we feel demonic? You have not taken charge.
- 1:18:54Speaker 2: You must announce a son is here. For the earnest
- 1:19:02Speaker 2: expectation of creation, wait for the manifestation of the sons
- 1:19:06Speaker 2: of God. I love when the Bible says, wait for
- 1:19:08Speaker 2: the sons to declare sonship. When God made us, the
- 1:19:16Speaker 2: very moment he released fire as a breath into us,
- 1:19:23Speaker 2: from that moment, it was a declaration of war. From
- 1:19:30Speaker 2: the moment he did that, it was actually what? Declaration
- 1:19:33Speaker 2: of war. Because he knew there was war in heaven.
- 1:19:38Speaker 2: We sent him out of here. Michael is there. My
- 1:19:43Speaker 2: kind must be here. And the moment God released that bread,
- 1:19:51Speaker 2: his conclusion is there enough. There enough. We carry that bread.
- 1:19:59Speaker 2: we move it everywhere we get to we are not
- 1:20:02Speaker 2: normal we carry that bread I am aware when I
- 1:20:06Speaker 2: move on the street it is the kingdom on two
- 1:20:08Speaker 2: legs I might be a man but I am an
- 1:20:12Speaker 2: heir it is the kingdom oh yes it is my
- 1:20:26Speaker 2: reality it is who I am that was the design
- 1:20:34Speaker 2: Can I give you two minutes to take charge and
- 1:20:38Speaker 2: just speak into certain situations and speak into certain things
- 1:20:44Speaker 2: and get into what you should get into and take charge.
- 1:20:48Speaker 2: Come on. You have the next two minutes. Oh yes,
- 1:20:54Speaker 2: take charge. Until my holy gaze is you Spirit keep
- 1:21:09Speaker 2: brooding over me Till I look more like you Until
- 1:21:19Speaker 2: my holy gaze is you Spirit keep brooding over me
- 1:21:25Speaker 2: Till I look more like you Until my only gaze
- 1:21:34Speaker 2: is you. Spirits keep brooding over me. Till I look
- 1:21:41Speaker 2: more like you. Yeah, na-na-na-na. Yeah, na-na-na-na. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yes.
- 1:22:26Speaker 2: Thank you, Lord. In Jesus' mighty name, we are praying.
- 1:22:31Speaker 2: Say that amen with power. Say it with a sense
- 1:22:56Speaker 2: of consciousness. Now, sit down for a moment. Do you
- 1:23:02Speaker 2: know that what is really complicated, part of the things
- 1:23:09Speaker 2: that was undone, that was done differently, out of love. Anyways,
- 1:23:15Speaker 2: we are continuing this series, so I'm going to show
- 1:23:17Speaker 2: you what God did differently from the man in Christ.
- 1:23:21Speaker 2: There are upgrades over here. One of the upgrades about
- 1:23:26Speaker 2: the man in Christ is that he made sure that
- 1:23:30Speaker 2: in Christ his hand was sealed before the beginning. Victory.
- 1:23:34Speaker 2: So the man in Christ can't fight for victory. He's
- 1:23:37Speaker 2: fighting from victory. Because the hand was predetermined. As long
- 1:23:42Speaker 2: as you're in Christ, there's an end. Your biggest battle begins.
- 1:23:55Speaker 2: It's not really even the fight. Your biggest battle is
- 1:23:57Speaker 2: you fighting without knowing the end. Say, Lord, I come
- 1:24:05Speaker 2: in a volume of books as it is written of me.
- 1:24:09Speaker 2: To do your will, O Lord. I know what is
- 1:24:13Speaker 2: written of me. I know what is written about me.
- 1:24:21Speaker 2: It's said to what is written is written I've explained
- 1:24:27Speaker 2: this to you many times. The only way we can
- 1:24:29Speaker 2: explain what is written is like the script of a movie.
- 1:24:36Speaker 2: If I am to participate in a movie, they write
- 1:24:40Speaker 2: the script and they say, go through the script. That is,
- 1:24:45Speaker 2: this is your character in the movie. So, go through
- 1:24:48Speaker 2: the script. If I go through my script and I
- 1:24:52Speaker 2: know the end of my character, when I go back
- 1:24:55Speaker 2: to acting, I can't be agitated like those who are
- 1:24:58Speaker 2: watching it. Because I that am in that character knows
- 1:25:01Speaker 2: what is written. Do you know what is written? Do
- 1:25:07Speaker 2: you know what is settled? Do you know what is finished?
- 1:25:10Speaker 2: And according to the script, I didn't fall sick. According
- 1:25:16Speaker 2: to the script, I was pressed on all sides but
- 1:25:18Speaker 2: not perplexed. I might have been laid down but not destroyed. Yes.
- 1:25:25Speaker 2: According to the script, I came out of this trouble.
- 1:25:27Speaker 2: I came out. There is a part two. My enemy
- 1:25:30Speaker 2: don't rejoice over me. Do I might be falling? I
- 1:25:32Speaker 2: will rise again. According to the script, I did not
- 1:25:35Speaker 2: remain falling. This is the reason why, even as a believer,
- 1:25:42Speaker 2: if you want to help anybody, never do it in
- 1:25:44Speaker 2: a way that they lose themselves. You must let people know,
- 1:25:46Speaker 2: this is where you are going. This is what the script,
- 1:25:48Speaker 2: it is only a privilege for me to be a
- 1:25:51Speaker 2: part of your journey. I honor you. We don't make conclusions.
- 1:26:01Speaker 2: In the whole story, there might be people who will
- 1:26:04Speaker 2: rise before the other. But according to the script, I
- 1:26:08Speaker 2: rose too. It may not be at your time, but
- 1:26:16Speaker 2: at my time, I rose. So I honor you. I
- 1:26:19Speaker 2: celebrate you. I don't need to fan you because there's
- 1:26:23Speaker 2: somewhere in the script that I myself too rose. place
- 1:26:29Speaker 2: your right hand on your head. I know what is written.
- 1:26:34Speaker 2: According to the script written about me, I finished well.
- 1:26:45Speaker 2: Sit down for a moment. Just imagine now. Imagine let's
- 1:26:50Speaker 2: say maybe you wrote an exam for pharmacology and you
- 1:26:54Speaker 2: already saw a result. Then They've now pasted the result.
- 1:27:01Speaker 2: Or you have seen your own in your lecturer's office.
- 1:27:03Speaker 2: You are not agitated. Because you are not in that
- 1:27:06Speaker 2: time with them. You have gone ahead. Okay. What I've
- 1:27:17Speaker 2: been able to do is to introduce you to this subject.
- 1:27:21Speaker 2: So I've done introduction. I'm going to continue from here
- 1:27:25Speaker 2: to show you that there is a global perspective to
- 1:27:28Speaker 2: what I've shown you tonight. Oh yes, there is. The
- 1:27:32Speaker 2: devil is not just local, he's global. And he's not
- 1:27:35Speaker 2: just global, he's generational. There are things you want for
- 1:27:41Speaker 2: a dispensation. But this is the news. We have come
- 1:27:45Speaker 2: to the season that all the prophecies that we have
- 1:27:51Speaker 2: read about in the Bible about the battle of the
- 1:27:54Speaker 2: last days, I can tell you on all authority, this
- 1:27:57Speaker 2: is it. It is the battle and the warfare of systems.
- 1:28:07Speaker 2: And the reason why many of God's students look like
- 1:28:10Speaker 2: they are still slumbering is because they are not aware.
- 1:28:12Speaker 2: I understand. It was also captured in prophecy. It was captured.
- 1:28:18Speaker 2: Matthew 25 says, Ten virgins waiting for the groom. But
- 1:28:22Speaker 2: the Bible says at midnight, they all slept. And that's
- 1:28:27Speaker 2: why Joel 2 began with an instruction. Blow ye the
- 1:28:30Speaker 2: trumpet in Zion. Sound an alarm in my holy hill.
- 1:28:36Speaker 2: An alarm. When you want to wake up at a
- 1:28:41Speaker 2: certain time, what do you do? You set an alarm.
- 1:28:43Speaker 2: An alarm announces the time for a change of activity.
- 1:28:47Speaker 2: We are raising an alarm for the body of Christ
- 1:28:49Speaker 2: to know there is a change in activity. Start beating
- 1:28:52Speaker 2: your plows into spears. Let everyone that can stand learn
- 1:28:58Speaker 2: the culture of war. Because the same thing is about
- 1:29:01Speaker 2: to happen. That there is a cry in Ramah. Rachel
- 1:29:03Speaker 2: weeping for her children. For they are no more. Those
- 1:29:06Speaker 2: who choose to remain babies will become casualties. The devil
- 1:29:10Speaker 2: is speaking through human vessels. He's speaking through people. He's
- 1:29:14Speaker 2: speaking through systems. He's operating. He's fighting now. Because the
- 1:29:18Speaker 2: coming of Jesus is so close. And the cloud of
- 1:29:21Speaker 2: darkness seems thick. And many things. Many of us might
- 1:29:28Speaker 2: not be seeing it. But we are having many things
- 1:29:30Speaker 2: coming towards us at the same time. Many movements. I
- 1:29:35Speaker 2: can count more than 20. At the same time. So
- 1:29:39Speaker 2: we cannot have believers whose place of strength is just
- 1:29:43Speaker 2: the church. We need to build them in church. Send
- 1:29:46Speaker 2: them back. The media is not toxic. It is a
- 1:29:52Speaker 2: reflection of eros. taking James, then the church was quiet.
- 1:29:58Speaker 2: When it pleases the Jews, you go back and take Peter.
- 1:30:01Speaker 2: The media is what it is because you made it so.
- 1:30:04Speaker 2: No platform is toxic. You are either part of the
- 1:30:07Speaker 2: toxicity or it is your silence that empowers it. It
- 1:30:11Speaker 2: is time for believers to know I have a voice
- 1:30:15Speaker 2: and I must learn this. It is time for the
- 1:30:17Speaker 2: church to also undo the mistakes of result without proper doctrine.
- 1:30:27Speaker 2: So let me tell you. We have an agenda. We
- 1:30:30Speaker 2: have an agenda. We do. I'm just going to tell
- 1:30:32Speaker 2: you a few of it. Dealing with dysfunctional background and
- 1:30:35Speaker 2: trauma in families. That's the first one. The next one.
- 1:30:40Speaker 2: So we are very patient. Is to deal with trauma
- 1:30:43Speaker 2: in church. It is healing first. We are going to
- 1:30:48Speaker 2: enter into church out. And it's going to be messy.
- 1:30:53Speaker 2: When that time comes. You will see your apostles being
- 1:30:56Speaker 2: dragged everywhere. Relax. We were born for such a time
- 1:31:00Speaker 2: as this. We didn't come for serve me wine. We
- 1:31:04Speaker 2: came for war. In the simplest way possible. Don't invite
- 1:31:15Speaker 2: that guy to your altar, to your platform. That's why
- 1:31:17Speaker 2: we have ours. Because one of the things the devil
- 1:31:26Speaker 2: is exploiting to fight the church is that we have
- 1:31:29Speaker 2: plenty people who are hurt. There's pain. Hold on a minute.
- 1:31:40Speaker 2: We are fighting the last, the final warfare. That's the
- 1:31:46Speaker 2: end time battle now. With an enemy that has been
- 1:31:49Speaker 2: preparing since the day he fell. What is the strategy
- 1:31:56Speaker 2: of the church. Do we have a plan? We are
- 1:32:03Speaker 2: just fighting ourselves. That's what we are busy doing. We
- 1:32:08Speaker 2: don't have plans. What we be will be. There will
- 1:32:13Speaker 2: be casualties. We've got to have a plan. I will
- 1:32:17Speaker 2: recommend my book, The Final Move of God. I'm a
- 1:32:20Speaker 2: very bad marketer. Sometimes I don't even remember... I don't
- 1:32:26Speaker 2: write books for money's sake. I don't do that. I
- 1:32:31Speaker 2: use the feast to illustrate the move of God. The
- 1:32:38Speaker 2: final feast, that's the feast of Tabernacles. Now let's get
- 1:32:43Speaker 2: into that. The future of the church, as powerful as
- 1:32:48Speaker 2: auditoriums are, very powerful, but the future is that we
- 1:32:52Speaker 2: now move ourselves again. from our big auditoriums out. Because
- 1:32:58Speaker 2: the battle will not take place in our churches. Okay,
- 1:33:02Speaker 2: let's leave that. If you are sitting in this auditorium
- 1:33:19Speaker 2: or you can hear me, wherever you are listening from,
- 1:33:26Speaker 2: physically you are seated where you are seated. But in
- 1:33:29Speaker 2: the spirit realm, you are in a battle front. Whether
- 1:33:36Speaker 2: you are fully kitted or not, we don't know. But
- 1:33:40Speaker 2: you are in a battle front. And like Paul, we
- 1:33:42Speaker 2: must understand that though we walk in the flesh, we
- 1:33:45Speaker 2: don't walk after the flesh. It is time for sons
- 1:33:49Speaker 2: to move beyond enjoying the benefit of the kingdom, to
- 1:33:51Speaker 2: defending the integrity of the kingdom. as an heir. They
- 1:33:58Speaker 2: help the house as long as it's a child. The
- 1:34:00Speaker 2: Bible says, deferred him nothing from a servant, though he
- 1:34:01Speaker 2: be Lord of all, but is made subject to tutors
- 1:34:04Speaker 2: and teachers till he comes of age. I want you
- 1:34:07Speaker 2: to pray. Show me my own path. Show me what
- 1:34:15Speaker 2: I must do in these last days. Now, pray that prayer,
- 1:34:23Speaker 2: then I want to ask that the Holy Spirit will
- 1:34:25Speaker 2: come upon some of you And there's empowerment. Are you
- 1:34:28Speaker 2: ready for that tonight? Pray the prayer now. Show me
- 1:34:30Speaker 2: my own part. Show me. Set me on fire, Lord.
- 1:34:43Speaker 2: Teach me the pathways of the spirit. Anoint me with
- 1:34:49Speaker 2: your oil. Fill me till I want no more. Set
- 1:34:55Speaker 2: me on fire, Lord. Teach me the pathways of the Spirit.
- 1:35:03Speaker 2: Anoint me with your oil. Fill me till I want
- 1:35:07Speaker 2: no more. Set me on fire, Lord. Teach me the
- 1:35:16Speaker 2: pathways of the Spirit. Anoint me with your oil. Fill
- 1:35:23Speaker 2: me till I want no more. Thank you, Lord. In
- 1:35:30Speaker 2: Jesus' mighty name we're praying. Now, whether you are seated
- 1:35:33Speaker 2: or standing, God doesn't need a posture to fill you
- 1:35:37Speaker 2: with power. Wherever you are, it will meet you there.
- 1:35:40Speaker 2: Because it is in his best interest that those he's
- 1:35:44Speaker 2: using for these days and time are equipped. If you
- 1:35:47Speaker 2: want an empowerment of the Spirit, stretch out your hands
- 1:35:50Speaker 2: while you're seated. It's going to be a movement of
- 1:35:55Speaker 2: His power across this place. Just stay with her, please.
- 1:36:00Speaker 2: I don't know how big your hunger is. I don't
- 1:36:03Speaker 2: know how serious your desire is. I don't know how
- 1:36:07Speaker 2: hungry you are. But I stretch my hands towards this house.
- 1:36:13Speaker 2: From my right to the middle to the left. Let
- 1:36:19Speaker 2: there be a surge of the power of the Holy Ghost. Fall,
- 1:36:25Speaker 2: find expression upon lives, individuals with different areas of oppressions.
- 1:36:30Speaker 2: Let your power surge across. Fill them again with your glory.
- 1:36:36Speaker 2: Let your hand rest. Find expression. Find vessels. Fill them
- 1:36:41Speaker 2: with your power. Touch their tongues. Touch their eyes. Touch
- 1:36:44Speaker 2: their heads. Let them receive an empowerment. Let the army
- 1:36:48Speaker 2: rise from this place. Just help them. From the count
- 1:36:54Speaker 2: of your head to the sole of your feet. Let
- 1:36:59Speaker 2: the glory of the Lord move across this place. We
- 1:37:06Speaker 2: ask for a new wave of prophetic vessels. Men like Daniel,
- 1:37:11Speaker 2: like Deborah, like Esther. Who will stand in higher places.
- 1:37:15Speaker 2: Who will speak with kings on matters as touching the kingdom.
- 1:37:19Speaker 2: I ask for the spirit of wisdom like that came
- 1:37:21Speaker 2: upon the sons of Issachar. To understand times and seasons.
- 1:37:26Speaker 2: Let people be equipped and empowered. Show your power. For
- 1:37:38Speaker 2: some of you, you will notice that there is a
- 1:37:40Speaker 2: spirit of boldness from tonight. That it is impossible for
- 1:37:44Speaker 2: you to be afraid. Of anything. At the hand of
- 1:37:49Speaker 2: the Lord comes. Strong upon his people. Just help them.
- 1:37:54Speaker 2: Just help them. We ask. That we have in our
- 1:38:00Speaker 2: midst a wave of strategic men and women. Men who
- 1:38:05Speaker 2: understand strategies. Individuals raised for such a time as this.
- 1:38:11Speaker 2: In marketplace. Across board. Who speak for kings. That they march.
- 1:38:18Speaker 2: They rise from this place. They rise from this place.
- 1:38:23Speaker 2: They rise from this place. They rise from this place. Father,
- 1:38:36Speaker 2: raise intercessors amongst us. Men and women of prayer, raise
- 1:38:42Speaker 2: intercessors amongst us. And there are people here who used
- 1:38:47Speaker 2: to walk in a level of power before now. It
- 1:38:50Speaker 2: is back. It is back. Those eyes are open again
- 1:38:54Speaker 2: to see. Those ears are open again to hear. Your
- 1:38:58Speaker 2: tongue is touched with fire again. You will speak with
- 1:39:01Speaker 2: the tongue of the learned. It is back. I ask
- 1:39:16Speaker 2: you Lord that you raise the consciousness of your children...
- 1:39:20Speaker 2: to understand this time that we are in. Thank you,
- 1:39:25Speaker 2: blessed Father. Blessed be your holy name. You will not
- 1:39:32Speaker 2: remain the same after this encounter. It will no longer
- 1:39:38Speaker 2: be business as usual. Grace is multiplied. Strength is released.
- 1:39:45Speaker 2: Thank you, Father. I don't know for who, but I
- 1:39:52Speaker 2: heard the word intensity. Intensity. Yes. Intensity. Intensity. Intensity. There
- 1:40:04Speaker 2: are prophets amongst us in this room. They may not
- 1:40:08Speaker 2: all say, but there are people who understand times and seasons.
- 1:40:12Speaker 2: There are prophetic minstrels, prophetic voices, prophetic writers, men who
- 1:40:17Speaker 2: see visions. Touch them. there are individuals raised as burden
- 1:40:31Speaker 2: bearers for the move of the spirit to insta-seed to
- 1:40:34Speaker 2: pray there are kingdom financiers touch them pray Thank you, Father.
