  Lift your hands to Jesus we. Have come with open hearts.
• 0:07
  Oh, let the ancient words in heart we have come with open
• 0:17
  hearts. Oh, let the ancient words in
• 0:23
  part I have come with an open heart, Or let the ancient works.
• 0:38
  Hallelujah, Father, we want to thank you for this opportunity,
• 0:43
  mighty presence of God in this place.
• 0:46
  It's been such a moment of encounter and God is about to
• 0:51
  speak to us again. Speak to us, Oh God, our hearts
• 0:54
  are open to learn, to receive, to grow.
• 0:58
  For this, in Jesus mighty name, we have prayed.
• 1:02
  Please let's celebrate the amazing ministry of Minister Don
• 1:06
  Senoyenko. Give him.
• 1:09
  A. Big hand clap of praise you may
• 1:12
  be seated. God bless you.
• 1:15
  Just before I give my charge this morning to wrap up a
• 1:20
  morning session, I want to truly honor and appreciate a few
• 1:26
  servants of God. Would take time to do justice to
• 1:28
  the appreciation, have lots of people who have come just
• 1:32
  silently sitting. This is a kind of atmosphere
• 1:35
  where you need minimal destruction because all kinds of
• 1:39
  spiritual transactions are happening.
• 1:42
  But just for the purpose of honor, I want to appreciate and
• 1:46
  acknowledge is a dear friend all the way from Taraba, the
• 1:53
  Anglican Bishop of Taraba, Bishop, former medicine, God
• 1:58
  bless you. Thank you so much for coming.
• 2:01
  We honor you in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 2:05
  And all the way from the United States.
• 2:09
  He's followed us everywhere. This has become home for him.
• 2:13
  He's a mayor. Mayor Harold Moore, thank you so
• 2:15
  much. We love you.
• 2:16
  God bless you. He's been with us literally
• 2:20
  everywhere, everywhere from the UK, US, Canada, you know, was
• 2:25
  with us in Kenya, now Abuja. God bless you.
• 2:29
  And by the way, congratulations, he won again his election for
• 2:33
  the next 4 years. Big Congrats.
• 2:36
  We're happy to have you around. No one troubles us in the US.
• 2:40
  We've got company in the US in Jesus name.
• 2:43
  And just to honor again our father, Bishop Obionu Bogu, he's
• 2:51
  been just humbly sitting down and soaking in this atmosphere
• 2:55
  that's 85 years old standing. Let's give him a big God bless
• 2:59
  you. Big God bless you, Daddy.
• 3:01
  We honor you. We honor you.
• 3:04
  Thank you, Sir. Thank you.
• 3:06
  Please. You may be seated.
• 3:08
  I just feel stared in my heart that we should bless our mother
• 3:11
  in the Lord. Mommy, Funke Felixa Digimo one
• 3:14
  last time. I thought I was the only one who
• 3:18
  was blessed by her session and as I spoke to the ministers left
• 3:22
  and right, I mean everybody was just commending on the shining
• 3:25
  of scriptures and how how intelligent her presentation
• 3:30
  was. We give God praise in Jesus
• 3:33
  name. Now be speaking very briefly to
• 3:35
  wrap up our morning session. I don't have too many speakings
• 3:43
  during this convention. One, I'm happy about that 2 But
• 3:52
  that doesn't mean the devil is not in trouble.
• 3:53
  He's in trouble anyway. We're going to pray for the sick
• 3:57
  who cast out devils and will release graces upon people in
• 4:01
  the name of Jesus. But I'm just happy that I'm not
• 4:04
  doing this alone. Hallelujah, John chapter 20 and
• 4:08
  verse 21 would be looking very briefly at the topic, the
• 4:14
  believers ordination. The Believers.
• 4:17
  Ordination, John, 2021. I just want to put a solid
• 4:21
  foundation to the subject of the mandate.
• 4:25
  Then said Jesus unto them again, Peace be unto you.
• 4:31
  As my Father had sent me, Even so send I you.
• 4:38
  As my Father has sent me, Even so send I you.
• 4:46
  Hallelujah. Now the concept of a mandate.
• 4:50
  I want to speak from a legal and governmental side before we come
• 4:55
  into scripture. The word mandate from its
• 4:59
  definition, and that comes from a legal or a governmental
• 5:06
  expression. A mandate is an official order
• 5:11
  or a command. A mandate is an official order.
• 5:17
  It's a command that comes with an authorization or permission
• 5:22
  to fulfill a task. That's the first definition I'll
• 5:25
  give you. A mandate is an official order.
• 5:29
  It's an authorization or a command that comes with an
• 5:35
  authorization to fulfill a task. It's called a mandate, an
• 5:41
  official order or command that comes with an authorization to
• 5:45
  fulfill a task. Second definition, mandate also
• 5:50
  refers to the power that is granted to a person or an entity
• 5:57
  to exercise authority on various matters affecting A
• 6:02
  jurisdiction. I read it again for you that a
• 6:06
  mandate generally refers to the power that is granted to a
• 6:14
  person, the power that is granted to an entity to exercise
• 6:20
  authority on various matters affecting A jurisdiction.
• 6:28
  So you see that the concept of a mandate is really a governmental
• 6:32
  terminology or illegal terminology having to do with
• 6:36
  the authorization to legislate, to enact, to execute.
• 6:42
  Are we together on behalf of a government?
• 6:46
  It comes from the Latin word mandatum.
• 6:49
  Mandatum is spelled MANDATU M1, more time MANDATUM.
• 6:58
  It means something that is ordered or something that is
• 7:01
  commanded. So when we talk about a mandate,
• 7:05
  not even just the mandate, A mandate generally it speaks to
• 7:09
  an authorization, the legitimacy to execute an instruction, the
• 7:16
  legitimacy to execute a plan, the legitimacy to execute
• 7:23
  whatever it is that is given within a predefined
• 7:26
  jurisdiction. So discussing the mandate as a
• 7:30
  theme for this convention really is an X-ray, and I want you to
• 7:35
  listen carefully, is an X-ray. Of the various.
• 7:39
  Commissions and the responsibilities that the
• 7:43
  believer has as far as advancing the Kingdom is concerned and
• 7:48
  being a blessing to our world is concerned.
• 7:50
  So when we talk about the mandate, it's an attempt to
• 7:54
  X-ray, to understudy, to uncover the various commissions, the
• 8:00
  various responsibilities that were given to God or given by
• 8:06
  God to the believer. For the purpose of Kingdom
• 8:09
  advance. And then being a blessing to our
• 8:12
  world, it's important we have that foundation so that the
• 8:16
  concept of the mandate does not become for you and unnecessarily
• 8:21
  abstract concept. It is simply an X-ray into the
• 8:26
  various assignments and X-ray into the various expectations
• 8:32
  and X-ray into the various commissionings.
• 8:37
  Are we together that God has given the believer in Christ as
• 8:42
  far as advancing His purposes upon the earth and being a
• 8:46
  blessing to the world is concerned?
• 8:49
  When Jesus walked upon the earth, He made certain
• 8:53
  statements that reflected the desires of the Father.
• 8:58
  He made certain statements that reflected the agenda of the
• 9:03
  Father and He wanted the church to be actively involved in this
• 9:09
  assignments, in this missions and as a foundation.
• 9:14
  My assignment here this morning is to just list for us 5
• 9:20
  mandates that the believer has in Christ.
• 9:25
  There are 5 mandates, 5 commissionings, 5 major
• 9:30
  assignments, dimensions of our assignment in Christ and if you
• 9:35
  are able to understand this, it will make your Christian walk
• 9:39
  very efficient. One of the things that God is
• 9:43
  doing, particularly in this end time, is raising a people of
• 9:47
  maturity and responsibility beyond the consciousness of
• 9:52
  receiving things from God. God is planting His burden upon
• 9:57
  men and women believers and upon faith-based organizations and
• 10:03
  entities to drive with passion like never before.
• 10:08
  The things that God desires to do, particularly in this season.
• 10:14
  And so I'll run with you very, very quickly, haven't
• 10:16
  established this foundation. There are about 5 major mandates
• 10:23
  that are found in the Bible that are within God's expectation and
• 10:31
  definition for the believer to execute.
• 10:34
  Failure to understand these mandates will leave you living
• 10:38
  an inefficient Christian life. And I'll list for you the
• 10:41
  mandates and then talk a bit on them, speak over your life and
• 10:46
  then we're done for the morning. Are you ready?
• 10:48
  If you're already shouting a loud believing Amen.
• 10:52
  Mandates, Number one, the first mandates that we have as an
• 10:58
  ordination, A commissioning, an expectation from God to execute
• 11:06
  is the mandate for souls. The mandate for souls.
• 11:12
  We have a responsibility, we have an assignment, we have an
• 11:16
  ordination, We have a commissioning by God for the
• 11:23
  world evangelization and the global harvest as we call it.
• 11:27
  Mark chapter 16 and verse 15. Mark 1615 Jesus is speaking.
• 11:33
  1615 Mark, go ye into all the world, he says, and preach the
• 11:40
  gospel. It was not a suggestion, it was
• 11:44
  not an advice. It was a mandate.
• 11:47
  The first mandate the believer has is the mandate for souls,
• 11:53
  the first mandate that the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ,
• 11:56
  regardless denomination, regardless the peculiarity of
• 12:01
  your faith practice, we corporately have the first
• 12:05
  mandate of world evangelization, the mandate of souls.
• 12:11
  And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach
• 12:17
  the gospel to every creature, reading to 20 verse 16.
• 12:22
  He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved, but he
• 12:27
  that does not believe. If and when you preach, not
• 12:31
  before you preach, he cannot be condemned if you have not
• 12:35
  preached. But if you do preach and they
• 12:38
  reject the gospel, then they are condemned already. 17 And while
• 12:44
  you are about that mandate. There is an assurance.
• 12:48
  While you are about that mandate, there is a bond between
• 12:52
  you and God that this signs shall follow them that believe.
• 12:57
  I used to think the signs follow them that believe in Jesus
• 13:01
  alone. No, the signs follow them that
• 13:04
  believe in the mandate, not just in Jesus.
• 13:07
  If you believe in Jesus and you do not believe in the mandate of
• 13:12
  souls, the signs will not follow you.
• 13:14
  Many times we feel just because we believe in Jesus, the sign
• 13:19
  should follow us. The signs are attestations to
• 13:23
  help you execute a mandate. You can believe in Jesus and
• 13:28
  disbelieve the mandate for soul winning.
• 13:31
  The signs will not follow you. No wonder we have a lot of
• 13:35
  believers. They genuinely believe in Jesus,
• 13:39
  but because they do not truly believe in the mandate of world
• 13:43
  evangelization, they do not truly believe in the mandate of
• 13:48
  soul winning. Although they are saved,
• 13:51
  although they are filled with the Holy Ghost.
• 13:53
  They wonder why there is scarcity of the healing
• 13:56
  anointing, scarcity of the grace to deliver, scarcity of the
• 14:02
  activation of the true prophetic anointing.
• 14:05
  It is because the believers believe in Jesus, but they do
• 14:09
  not believe in the mandate that He has given.
• 14:13
  These signs shall follow them that believe not just in the
• 14:18
  giver of the mandate, but the mandate itself.
• 14:22
  Believe in it enough to invest your life, to invest your time,
• 14:27
  to invest your finances, to invest your energy to see it
• 14:32
  come to fruition. Are we together?
• 14:37
  Breathe, Lord. Breathe, Breathe, Lord.
• 14:41
  Breathe. Breathe upon my life.
• 14:48
  Breathe, Lord. Breathe, Lord.
• 14:50
  Breathe, Lord, breathe. Breathe upon my life.
• 14:56
  Listen. I receive I manifest.
• 15:02
  Your power and in your. Wisdom till the nations see
• 15:11
  Jesus lift it up. Exalted I receive, I manifest
• 15:23
  your power. And in your wisdom, till the
• 15:28
  nations see Jesus, lift it up. Glorify.
• 15:40
  I raised that song because I wanted you to hear an important
• 15:43
  line of the song. I receive and I manifest your
• 15:48
  power and your wisdom. Not so be called a man of God,
• 15:53
  Apostle Joshua Salman, not so-called Anonya, be called a
• 15:56
  great global ministry. No till the nations.
• 16:02
  That's why I receive power till the nations see Jesus as I
• 16:07
  preach till the nations see Jesus lifted, exalted,
• 16:13
  glorified. Is someone learning this morning
• 16:17
  the reason why our generation, in as much as we celebrate the
• 16:21
  wonderful things that God is doing, the reason why we're not
• 16:26
  able to see the power of God and the investments of the Spirit
• 16:31
  upon our generation like we saw in Bible days and in modern
• 16:36
  history, is because most of the people who carried, for
• 16:40
  instance, what we call the healing anointing, they were
• 16:44
  called healing evangelists, not healing men of God healing
• 16:49
  evangelist. The healing followed the
• 16:52
  evangelist. The evangelist went about
• 16:55
  preaching Jesus and then the healing followed him.
• 16:59
  This time around is the evangelist who is following
• 17:02
  healing. We have become evangelist
• 17:04
  looking for healing. The reason is because we believe
• 17:09
  in the One who sent us, but we do not believe in the mandate.
• 17:15
  Many of the people who manifested the anointing in
• 17:18
  unusual dimensions, In fact, some of them did not even pray
• 17:22
  for the anointing. They were all about the business
• 17:26
  of soul and they found themselves like Philip the
• 17:30
  Evangelist. The Bible says in Acts chapter 8
• 17:33
  from verse 5 that Philip went down to Samaria.
• 17:37
  I hope you know that Philip was one of the people who were
• 17:41
  brought together to serve tables.
• 17:46
  But his passion for souls, he went down to Samaria and
• 17:53
  preached Christ. He didn't go there to do
• 17:55
  miracles. He didn't go there to do
• 17:58
  ministry. He didn't go there to make a
• 18:00
  name. He went there about the mandate
• 18:03
  of souls. And the Bible says verse 6 that
• 18:07
  when he got there, the people with 1 accord gave he to the
• 18:12
  things that Philip spoke because as he spoke they heard and they
• 18:18
  saw the miracles that attested miracles.
• 18:23
  I can tell you this by the message of God.
• 18:26
  One key I have found to the life of the miraculous is to place
• 18:31
  the mandate of souls before you and invest your life driving at
• 18:36
  that agenda. You will secure many investments
• 18:41
  of grace beyond that which your prayer point can purchase.
• 18:46
  Lifted up, glorified. Till the nations see Jesus, Till
• 18:57
  the nations see Jesus. Lift it up, lift it up, lift it
• 19:06
  up, lift it up, exalted. Lift it up, Lift it up, Lift it
• 19:17
  up, lift it up, lift it up. Glorified.
• 19:25
  Luke chapter 19 and verse one. This mandate has nothing to do
• 19:30
  with being a man of God. Once you are a believer in
• 19:34
  Christ, listen carefully. Once you are a believer in
• 19:39
  Christ Luke 19101910. Once you are a believer in
• 19:45
  Christ, verse 10 please, you have the responsibility of
• 19:50
  seeking. To save the lost, he says, For
• 19:53
  the son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
• 20:00
  That was his assignment. He came to seek and to save that
• 20:05
  which was lost. And like we read earlier, he
• 20:07
  said as my father has sent me, he said so send are you.
• 20:12
  Someone shouted loud after me, said father.
• 20:16
  Come on, this is not everybody, said Father.
• 20:20
  I receive grace and passion for souls, passion for the lost,
• 20:28
  passion for the global harvest, Turn it into prayer in one
• 20:33
  minute, Father. I receive grace and passion to
• 20:38
  see the lost come to Jesus. I may not be an evangelist by
• 20:43
  calling, but it is a mandate. And today here the General
• 20:49
  Assembly, I take on that responsibility to see my family
• 20:55
  members saved, to see my parents saved, to see my siblings saved,
• 21:01
  to see my tribesmen saved, to see my community saved.
• 21:12
  In Jesus name we pray #2 the second mandate that we have as
• 21:20
  believers. It's an ordination, it's a
• 21:23
  commissioning. It's the mandate to be fruitful,
• 21:28
  the mandate to bear fruit, the mandate to produce extraordinary
• 21:33
  results. It's not a suggestion, it's not
• 21:37
  a wish, it's a mandate, it's an instruction.
• 21:42
  God has expectations. As far as our fruitfulness is
• 21:46
  concerned, He gave on to 1/5 talent.
• 21:50
  He gave on to 1/2 talent. He gave on to 11 talent.
• 21:54
  The Bible says he went about his journey.
• 21:57
  He returned back expecting profit, expecting fruitfulness
• 22:02
  and not finding profit from the man with the last talent he did
• 22:07
  not spare. He called him a wicked and
• 22:11
  unprofitable servant. Jesus caused a fig tree because
• 22:16
  it will not yield fix even though it was not the time of
• 22:19
  fix. Fruitfulness should not be a
• 22:26
  choice for a believer, it's a mandate.
• 22:29
  The reason why you have to be fruitful is because God is
• 22:33
  glorified in your fruitfulness. God is glorified when you
• 22:39
  produce results when you bear fruit.
• 22:42
  Give us John 15 and verse 8. Hearing is our Father glorified?
• 22:49
  15-8 John, when ye bear much fruit, hearing is the Father
• 22:57
  glorified. When you bear much fruit, so
• 23:01
  shall you be my disciples. Your fruitfulness validates my
• 23:06
  mentorship. Your fruitfulness is saying
• 23:09
  validates the integrity of My person and My word.
• 23:14
  John 15 and verse 16 You have not chosen me, but I have chosen
• 23:20
  you. The Bible says and ordained you
• 23:23
  1516 that you should go forth and bring forth fruit and that
• 23:29
  your fruit should abide longevity of impact, longevity
• 23:34
  of results. Believers are called to be
• 23:39
  fruitful. Believers are called to produce
• 23:42
  results. Can I tell you this?
• 23:45
  When you see results in the Kingdom as an issue of personal
• 23:54
  aggrandizement, you will not have the passion to produce that
• 23:58
  result, and even if you do, it will not glorify God.
• 24:02
  But when you see fruitfulness as a tool for bringing glory to the
• 24:09
  name of the Lord, you will pursue fruitfulness with
• 24:12
  aggression, and you will fight anything in your life that
• 24:17
  speaks of barrenness. You will fight anything in your
• 24:20
  life that stops you from getting resolved.
• 24:23
  Someone say I will be fruitful. Say I will be fruitful.
• 24:30
  Hallelujah. Fruitfulness brings glory to the
• 24:33
  name of the Lord. Fruitfulness in every
• 24:37
  ramification. Exploits in life, Exploits in
• 24:41
  ministry, Exploits in business. Many times believers celebrate a
• 24:50
  lot of things that represent unfruitfulness and we try to
• 24:55
  look for a theology to explain the fact that when believers
• 25:00
  don't bear fruit, there are some way God will be glorified.
• 25:03
  But I can tell you this, you are a better Christian and God is
• 25:09
  glorified in a greater sense. When you are anointed, when you
• 25:13
  are prosperous, when you are moving forward, when you are
• 25:17
  making progress, when you are breaking forth on the left and
• 25:20
  the right. I don't know about you, but you
• 25:23
  must join me in having a thorough rejection for anything
• 25:27
  in your life that looks like Baroness.
• 25:29
  You believe that with me? Shout Amen.
• 25:35
  Are we learning now? Fruitfulness is beyond a mad
• 25:40
  desire. To be successful is beyond a mad
• 25:44
  desire. To advance is beyond a mad
• 25:47
  desire to progress. We have reduced this mandate to
• 25:51
  a carnal desire to go forward. A carnal desire to advance, a
• 25:57
  carnal desire to be rich or to be prosperous.
• 26:00
  The moment you import carnality into that mandate, you corrupt
• 26:06
  it. And that's the reason why many
• 26:09
  in wanting to love the Lord and go deeper in their relationship,
• 26:13
  they ignorantly reject anything that call me next to
• 26:17
  fruitfulness, whether fruitfulness in finances,
• 26:21
  whether fruitfulness biologically, whether
• 26:23
  fruitfulness organizationally. But I'm here to tell you, in
• 26:27
  your excelling as a corporate person, in your excelling as a
• 26:32
  business person, in your excelling as a professional, in
• 26:36
  your excelling as a man of God, a woman of God, in your
• 26:40
  excelling as a student, in your excelling as a parent, God is
• 26:45
  glorified. You are not fulfilling the
• 26:47
  mandate when you live a life of total failure, settle it once
• 26:51
  and for all. God can bring glory out of
• 26:59
  failure, but failure was not designed to glorify God.
• 27:05
  God can bring glory out of failure because He commands.
• 27:11
  He can command light to come out of darkness.
• 27:14
  There are times that light shines Into Darkness, but there
• 27:18
  are times He can bring light out of darkness.
• 27:21
  God can get glory out of any situation, but be assured, based
• 27:27
  on the integrity of God's Word, that failure was not designed to
• 27:32
  bring God's God glory. Failure was designed to mock the
• 27:35
  integrity of His person and His Word.
• 27:38
  You must obtain grace and be angry in your spirit, those of
• 27:43
  us who are here and the many who are falling online, that my life
• 27:47
  will be fruitful. I will be fruitful financially.
• 27:51
  I will be fruitful spiritually. Are we together now?
• 27:55
  I'd like you to lift your voice in one minute and pray.
• 27:58
  Get angry with failure. It doesn't matter what form of
• 28:02
  fashion. Lord, I obtain grace.
• 28:04
  Let this be a never ending journey until my life blossoms
• 28:08
  like the sitter that is in in Lebanon.
• 28:11
  I decree and declare by the power of the Holy Spirit, I am
• 28:14
  on a project. To.
• 28:16
  Fulfilling that mandate of fruitfulness, I will not rest.
• 28:20
  I will get the knowledge I need. I will get the mentorship I
• 28:24
  need. I will contend in prayer.
• 28:27
  I will contend in acquiring knowledge.
• 28:29
  Until my life becomes fruitful. Pray.
• 28:41
  Hallelujah, Isaiah chapter 61 and verse 3.
• 28:46
  The Bible calls us the planting of the Lord.
• 28:50
  How many of you know that when God plans, He expects the tree
• 28:55
  to grow and if it grows it must bear fruit?
• 28:59
  The Bible says we are called the oaks, or the trees of
• 29:02
  righteousness, the planting. Of the Lord, and the reason why
• 29:07
  he planted us was so that we will blossom and bear fruit, and
• 29:12
  in our bearing fruit that he might be glorified fruitfulness.
• 29:25
  Is a primary channel for giving God glory the next time you say
• 29:30
  father, be glorified it should start with a prayer, start with
• 29:35
  a song, but it must never end with just a prayer and a song
• 29:40
  your. Life and your results are a
• 29:43
  valid way of bringing glory to the name of the Lord.
• 29:47
  And I speak over someone from today in the name that is above
• 29:51
  all names. You who looks like you would not
• 29:53
  become anything. You who looks like you would not
• 29:56
  emerge to do much. I pray for you.
• 29:59
  Let grace rest on your head from today.
• 30:02
  Let grace rest on your head from this morning.
• 30:05
  You will begin to produce extraordinary results.
• 30:08
  Extraordinary results in every area of your life you believe
• 30:13
  that shout Amen, Hallelujah. Now pay attention.
• 30:19
  Fruitfulness goes beyond a desire haven't established the
• 30:25
  fact that it's a mandate God. Expects the church believe us to
• 30:31
  be fruitful. Hallelujah.
• 30:37
  I'm reminded of Ephesians 310. It says to the intent that now
• 30:41
  unto principalities and powers might be made known by the
• 30:46
  church, the manifold wisdom of God, and that when the church
• 30:51
  becomes so fruitful, Galatians 124 becomes our testimony.
• 30:56
  And they glorified God in me. They glorified God through the
• 31:02
  Excellency of my results. But I must tell you this.
• 31:05
  Fruitfulness. Is the result of knowledge.
• 31:10
  There are three components that produce fruitfulness.
• 31:15
  I'm not going to teach on it, but let me list it #1 wisdom #2
• 31:21
  faith #3 power. Forget about results in the
• 31:27
  Kingdom if you do not access this tripartite forces.
• 31:34
  These are principally the forces that are responsible for
• 31:39
  producing results. One wisdom, 2 faith, three
• 31:46
  power. Every time there is bankruptcy
• 31:51
  of results, Every time there is bankruptcy of evidence in your
• 31:57
  Christian adventure, consult these three areas for answers.
• 32:02
  It is either wisdom is lacking, or faith is lacking, or power is
• 32:09
  lacking or any of the components or all of them.
• 32:14
  So if you desire to produce results to be fruitful, the
• 32:19
  journey begins from acquiring wisdom, then faith to engage
• 32:27
  that which you know, then the empowerment of the Holy Spirit
• 32:31
  to validate your obedience. Wisdom, faith and power equals
• 32:39
  to extraordinary, consistent, undeniable results.
• 32:44
  Wisdom, faith, and power. The third mandate, very quickly,
• 32:55
  is the mandate to bring the Church, the body of Christ, to a
• 33:01
  point of maturity. And stature.
• 33:06
  The church has a mandate to the church.
• 33:10
  We have a mandate among ourselves, the Church.
• 33:16
  Has a mandate to the church as given by God, the mandate of
• 33:23
  bringing one another to a point of maturity.
• 33:27
  And stature. And the entities that have been
• 33:32
  given this responsibility principally are the fivefold
• 33:37
  Ministry, in addition to every other expression.
• 33:41
  Within the body, Ephesians chapter 4, the third mandate
• 33:46
  from 11 reading down to 16 very quickly so we can pray.
• 33:50
  Ephesians 4I begin my reading from 11.
• 33:54
  And he gave on to Psalm apostles and Psalm prophets, some
• 34:02
  evangelists, some pastors and teachers, for the maturing the
• 34:09
  word perfecting. There's the word maturing of the
• 34:13
  Saints for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of
• 34:17
  the body of Christ, till we all come into the unity of faith,
• 34:23
  and of the knowledge of the Son of God and of a perfect man onto
• 34:29
  the measure of the stature as a corporate spiritual entity of
• 34:34
  the fullness of Christ. Next verse, that we henceforth
• 34:41
  be no children toast to and fro, and carried about by every wind
• 34:47
  of doctrine and the sleight of men and cunning craftiness
• 34:52
  wherein they lie to deceive, but speaking the truth in love.
• 34:58
  This is how you grow the church. You speak the truth and then you
• 35:02
  speak it in love. Every time you speak a lie, it
• 35:06
  does not build the church. Every time you speak the truth
• 35:09
  in hatred, it will not build the church.
• 35:12
  Listen carefully if you're a man of God here what?
• 35:15
  This is not a pastors conference, but learn this.
• 35:17
  That sentence right there gives you the jurisdiction it defines
• 35:22
  for you how to communicate the world such that the church
• 35:26
  becomes edified. You must speak.
• 35:30
  That's the first key. But that if you speak and show
• 35:34
  that what you are saying is the truth, and if it is the truth,
• 35:38
  then it must be in love. So if you are silent as a man of
• 35:42
  God, without speaking, without the teaching ministry, believers
• 35:46
  cannot grow to maturity. Miracles can draw people, but it
• 35:52
  is the teaching ministry, structured, intelligently
• 35:56
  presented, that builds and most believers so speaking.
• 36:02
  And then it must be the truth. Sanctify them by your truth.
• 36:06
  Your word is truth. And then it must be with love.
• 36:09
  Now listen, please. The first word they're speaking
• 36:13
  talks of the primary channel. Your mouth, your voice #2 it
• 36:19
  talks of the quality of the information.
• 36:22
  The truth #3 talks of the attitude.
• 36:26
  The required attitude that makes truth work is love.
• 36:30
  Truth is powered by love. That means when you teach the
• 36:34
  truth in hatred, even though what you are saying is right, it
• 36:38
  will not produce the effect. Love is the battery that powers
• 36:43
  the truth. The truth is like a clock.
• 36:45
  Even if it is brand new, without a battery it cannot work.
• 36:50
  And there are many people in the body of Christ carrying truth.
• 36:53
  But the reason why the truth is not building is because it is
• 36:57
  not in love. The truth in love is someone
• 37:06
  learning. The way we build believers is
• 37:11
  not an abstract concept. Believers are primarily built
• 37:17
  through the teaching ministry, speaking, and then the quality
• 37:22
  of the information that is communicated.
• 37:24
  Truth, and then the character disposition that supports that
• 37:29
  execution. Love anywhere you find speaking,
• 37:34
  anywhere you find truth anywhere you find love, you must find
• 37:38
  maturity. Let me say that again everywhere
• 37:41
  you find speaking. A man of God that does not keep
• 37:44
  quiet is passionate about communicating the counsel of
• 37:48
  God, whether as an apostle, a prophet and evangelist.
• 37:53
  They are all gifts that require your speaking.
• 37:56
  If you find speaking, if you find truth, and if you find
• 38:01
  love, that means when you find the body of.
• 38:05
  Christ. With all kinds of stuntedness,
• 38:08
  we need to investigate these 3 words.
• 38:11
  Either somebody who should speak is not speaking, has gotten
• 38:16
  carried away by the paraphernalia of ministry that
• 38:19
  he's forgotten, that the reason for all the blessings is to
• 38:22
  empower you to speak. I'm holding a mic.
• 38:27
  The reason why you are able to hear me from whatever distance
• 38:30
  is because the mic is amplifying my voice.
• 38:34
  The mic is not doing the speaking, I am doing the
• 38:37
  speaking. As powerful as this mic is.
• 38:40
  Watch this. By my being silent, I make you
• 38:56
  suspect that the mic is not that powerful.
• 39:00
  That mic is the Holy Ghost. He amplifies you to the nations,
• 39:05
  but when you are quiet, it will look like he's incapacitated.
• 39:10
  When you are quiet, it will look like he cannot heal.
• 39:13
  When you are quiet, it will look like he cannot lift.
• 39:16
  When you are quiet, it will look like he cannot bless.
• 39:19
  But when I speak, my speaking reveals the potential, the power
• 39:25
  of this sound system. You don't know how powerful God
• 39:28
  is until you speak. You don't know how powerful God
• 39:32
  has has the kind of anointing is placed on your life until you
• 39:36
  dare decide to teach, to speak, to communicate the gospel.
• 39:44
  And then watch this. Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
• 39:53
  ba ba. What am I doing?
• 39:55
  I am speaking, but what I am saying is nonsense.
• 40:00
  Are we together? You are hearing my voice but you
• 40:05
  are not being edified by it because what I am saying is not
• 40:09
  building you. So there are times our voices
• 40:12
  can be loud and while we are praying.
• 40:15
  Holy Ghost, more anointing. He said Leave the issue of
• 40:17
  anointing, find truth, then I can amplify you.
• 40:21
  I cannot anoint you to keep promoting a lie.
• 40:24
  So let's leave the issue of anointing first.
• 40:26
  So that we deal with the construct, your doctrinal
• 40:30
  construct, your overall understanding of Jesus, the fake
• 40:35
  life, the assignment. Then the anointing can come.
• 40:39
  The anointing came in Acts chapter one, but the teaching
• 40:42
  ministry began 3 years before the anointing.
• 40:45
  Look at the ratio of the teaching ministry to
• 40:49
  impartation. 3 years. To one day.
• 40:53
  God wants people anointed, but I can tell you this for free.
• 40:57
  He's not in a hurry to anoint people.
• 40:59
  He anoints knowledge. He anoints growth.
• 41:03
  He anoints maturity. The value of the anointing is
• 41:08
  that it rests upon a vessel who has worked with God to acquire
• 41:13
  truth. And then you see there is a side
• 41:17
  effect to truth, because truth can puff up, truth can bring you
• 41:22
  into a point of arrogance and you find out that upon the
• 41:25
  abundance of revelation, it will corrupt your character
• 41:29
  disposition. Because when you have truth is
• 41:32
  likened to your eye opening, the Bible calls in the eye of your
• 41:36
  understanding. You will no longer be patient
• 41:38
  with people. You will forget that God took
• 41:41
  you out of the same mess wherein He has instructed you to bring
• 41:44
  others out of it. It is a reason why truth must be
• 41:47
  served in love. It is dangerous to have truth
• 41:51
  and not have love. It's like having an accelerator
• 41:54
  without a brake. You will eventually kill people.
• 41:58
  An accelerator moves you forward, but the brake helps you
• 42:01
  to manage your speed so that it becomes fruitful.
• 42:05
  An accelerator without a brake will lead any professional
• 42:09
  driver to disaster. Is someone learning we have a
• 42:16
  mandate? From the Church to the Church,
• 42:21
  the mandate of working in partnership with the Holy Ghost
• 42:26
  in helping the believer. The corporate body attain unto
• 42:31
  maturity, attain unto stature, and that the way that happens,
• 42:36
  don't forget, is to speak the truth in love.
• 42:43
  If you love alone and you don't speak the truth, the Church will
• 42:48
  not grow. If you speak the truth alone and
• 42:52
  you do not love, the church will not grow.
• 42:55
  If you love and you know the truth but you don't share it,
• 42:59
  the Church will not grow. It must be truth spoken in love,
• 43:05
  truth, doctrinal truth, truth of the mysteries of the Kingdom,
• 43:09
  truth of the the victorious life of the believer, truth about
• 43:14
  what Jesus Christ has done, proof, truth about the
• 43:17
  responsibility of the believer, the whole counsel of God
• 43:21
  communicated in love that produces maturity.
• 43:25
  I pray for you, I pray for myself, and I pray for the body
• 43:29
  of Christ. May God empowers in this season,
• 43:33
  in the name of Jesus to teach the truth in love, to share the
• 43:37
  various dimensions that God has communicated to.
• 43:41
  US. There are diversity of graces
• 43:46
  and different perspectives of light within the body.
• 43:50
  Overall is for our profiting. Once there is love and we are
• 43:55
  willing to share one with another, then the body of Christ
• 43:59
  will grow. The dimension you don't see here
• 44:02
  you will find. Here the dimension you don't
• 44:05
  find here, you will find here. The most important thing is that
• 44:09
  the communicators teach truth. And in love you believe that
• 44:13
  shout aloud. Amen.
• 44:16
  Mandate #4 is someone learning already?
• 44:24
  So mandate #1 is a mandate for souls, world evangelization,
• 44:29
  global missions. Mandate #2 is a mandate to bear
• 44:34
  fruit, the mandate of fruitfulness as a primary
• 44:39
  channel for glorifying Jesus. Mandate #3 is the mandate to
• 44:45
  bring the church to a point of maturity and stature by teaching
• 44:50
  the truth and the truth in love. Mandate #4 is the mandate to
• 44:56
  transform societies and nations. The mandate to transform
• 45:03
  societies and nations to be the light and.
• 45:08
  Salt Matthew 513 to 16 Ye are the salt of the earth.
• 45:15
  But if the salt has lost its several, where we shall it be
• 45:19
  salted again? It is stands for Good for
• 45:22
  Nothing. But to be.
• 45:23
  Cast out and to be trodden on the foot of Man. 14 You are the
• 45:29
  light of Abuja, the light of Nigeria, the light of Zambia,
• 45:34
  the light of Kenya, the light of Ghana, the light of South
• 45:37
  Africa, the light of the United Kingdom, the light of the US.
• 45:42
  You are a city that is set on an hill. 15 It says neither do men
• 45:50
  light a light a candle and put it under a bushel, but on a
• 45:55
  Candlestick, and it gives light to all who are in the house.
• 45:59
  Here is the mandate, Let your light.
• 46:03
  The word let's there is permit, It's an instruction.
• 46:07
  Let your light so shine that they may see your good works.
• 46:15
  So this is how societies transform, not by speaking.
• 46:19
  Look up, please. The church is transformed by
• 46:22
  speaking, but society is not transformed by speaking.
• 46:27
  Society is transformed by good works.
• 46:31
  Don't forget this. Every mandate has its execution
• 46:34
  system in training the church. If all you do for the body of
• 46:39
  Christ is charity, you will find people helped, but they will not
• 46:44
  become mature. But when it has to do with
• 46:47
  society, ladies and gentlemen, it is the business of good
• 46:52
  works, not Christian fanatism. Good works.
• 46:57
  Let me list for you what good works are.
• 47:00
  Science and technology, medicine, corporate governance.
• 47:05
  Good works. Good works.
• 47:08
  This right here is where the Apostolic dimension of the
• 47:12
  Church is revealed. Good works.
• 47:16
  There is a lot of speaking in our world, but there's no good
• 47:20
  works. Do you know science arts,
• 47:25
  technology, medicine, all of these science based faculties,
• 47:33
  They were never supposed to be Antichrist or anti faith.
• 47:39
  No science arts. They are the expression systems
• 47:45
  for the God life that is within you.
• 47:47
  Everything you receive in prayer, everything you receive
• 47:51
  in learning in the church. Are we together?
• 47:54
  Science gives it a material frame for expression.
• 48:00
  I tell you this as much as we celebrate those we call
• 48:05
  scientists inventors, the ones who make our phones, our cars,
• 48:11
  our airplanes. The best of God is not for an
• 48:15
  unbeliever to be the one to do that.
• 48:17
  But if the believers do not know, they have a mandate.
• 48:21
  Onto good works to transform society through the
• 48:24
  intelligence. You see.
• 48:26
  Let me tell you this. The reason why there is an
• 48:30
  imagined generation that seems to be rejecting the Christian
• 48:35
  faith is because they cannot see the faith contextualized in a
• 48:41
  way that relates to real human problems.
• 48:45
  We Jack around and pray and that's wonderful.
• 48:48
  We first we give but they cannot see the word of God that we
• 48:53
  propose translate into intelligence that builds
• 48:57
  systems. Let your prayer in tongues
• 49:02
  translate into building a company that employs 5000
• 49:07
  people. Now that is good works.
• 49:10
  Are we together. Let your praying in tongues,
• 49:12
  your fasting, translate into inventions, translate into a
• 49:19
  solution, a medical solution for cancer.
• 49:23
  And when you are called by the Medical Council, how did you get
• 49:28
  this? You will speak like Daniel, but
• 49:30
  there is a God that revealed secrets.
• 49:33
  When Daniel stood before Nebuchadnezzar, he didn't dance
• 49:38
  around singing praise and worship.
• 49:40
  When Joseph stood before Pharaoh, he didn't dance around
• 49:44
  singing praise and worship. No good walks a product of
• 49:48
  intelligence. It started from the secret
• 49:51
  place. But they use the instrument of
• 49:53
  science, the instrument of literature, The man you call
• 49:57
  David, a man after God's heart. David's greatest accomplishment
• 50:03
  is not even just the spirituality, is the
• 50:05
  intelligence. Look how many Psalms he wrote.
• 50:11
  Believers need to translate spiritual intelligence into a
• 50:16
  context that can transform society.
• 50:20
  Don't tell me you are a Christian doctor.
• 50:22
  Show me you are a Christian doctor.
• 50:25
  Don't tell me you are a Christian architect.
• 50:27
  Show me by your desires, the superiority of your ideas, that
• 50:32
  you have an advantage of the Holy Ghost.
• 50:34
  Don't tell me you are a Christian professor.
• 50:37
  Show me how you transform your students with knowledge plus
• 50:41
  anointing. A generation that cannot
• 50:44
  contextualize spirituality as an instrument and give it the frame
• 50:49
  of science and art and literature and governance and
• 50:54
  intelligence is the generation that will not be able to
• 50:58
  communicate the purposes of God effectively.
• 51:03
  There's about 8.2 or 3 billion people upon the earth right now,
• 51:08
  last I checked, and there's only about 2.6 billion Christians.
• 51:16
  We're not talking genuine Christians.
• 51:18
  We're talking those who filled forms and wrote Christian as a
• 51:22
  religion. And out of that 2.6 billion,
• 51:27
  we've hardly been able to scale that mark.
• 51:30
  We have not even gone 30% or 40% as far as world evangelization
• 51:36
  is concerned. Facebook, YouTube, Twitter,
• 51:43
  Instagram, Noun, Charity, Pity and all other modern apps.
• 51:49
  Most of them are less than 20 years and more than half the
• 51:54
  world is using them regardless your religion, regardless what
• 51:59
  you understand, or they have become an intricate part of
• 52:03
  human living. And yet you have not seen
• 52:06
  Zuckerberg. For most of you yet you have not
• 52:08
  seen Elon Musk yet, you have not seen all those men, but they
• 52:12
  have imported intelligence. It doesn't matter what spirit
• 52:16
  they came into partnership with. The thing is, they have
• 52:19
  demonstrated that they have birthed a solution.
• 52:25
  Right now, as I'm speaking, there are 10s of thousands of
• 52:28
  people across the globe hearing, connecting right now.
• 52:33
  Who would have imagined that from 1 standpoint could be your
• 52:37
  room, your church, a stadium like this, you can literally be
• 52:41
  disciplined nations, somebody. Unfortunately, that someone is
• 52:45
  not a believer, designed an application, a platform that
• 52:51
  gives visibility. Those guys are more in
• 52:54
  partnership with the program of God than many Christians.
• 52:58
  Is the reason why you pray they should die.
• 53:00
  They will not die. They are too useful to God's
• 53:02
  program. If they die, you cannot take it
• 53:04
  from where they stop because you have refused to plan your
• 53:07
  creativity onto good works. I pray for you.
• 53:11
  You will grow past the realm of fanatism into a realm of
• 53:15
  intelligence that will contextualize the God life and
• 53:19
  cause it to be a blessing to society.
• 53:22
  You believe that shout? Amen.
• 53:26
  I receive, Listen, I manifest. Your power and your wisdom.
• 53:36
  I receive. I manifest.
• 53:40
  Hear what you receive, your power and your wisdom.
• 53:47
  Africa likes power. We have rejected wisdom.
• 53:53
  Thank God for power. We love power.
• 53:56
  Give me power, power to wave my hands.
• 54:00
  And how people fall. It would be such a blessing if
• 54:03
  the people fell and they woke up and they were wiser and they
• 54:07
  demonstrated it. But it looks like the more they
• 54:09
  fall, the more foolish they become.
• 54:12
  The more they fall, the more incapacitated.
• 54:15
  Little wonder the world is beginning to have a credence to
• 54:19
  examine the value of the Christian faith in nation
• 54:23
  building and societal transformation.
• 54:26
  I've had the honor of doing a few presentations defending the
• 54:31
  faith and showing its relevance in today's world.
• 54:35
  Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you this.
• 54:38
  We have a mission to the Church, but the greater part of the
• 54:41
  mission is to society. We must be able to convince the
• 54:45
  governments of nations with empirical data the value of the
• 54:50
  Church in terms of education, infrastructure, moral
• 54:55
  transformation. Are we together?
• 54:57
  Don't say I am a Christian person working in prisons,
• 55:01
  Commission or correctional center.
• 55:04
  Use your prayer language, use your Bible study to come up with
• 55:08
  a rehabilitation program that sustains such an intelligence
• 55:13
  that can transform an inmate in six months to be rehabilitated.
• 55:18
  Sell that program, let it be applied, and by the time you
• 55:22
  have 5 criminals truly rehabilitated in one year, your
• 55:28
  program without bias becomes the mainstay in correcting men.
• 55:34
  Let's stop just praying and rolling and shouting.
• 55:37
  When you pray in tongues, when you fast, when you study the
• 55:41
  word, don't stop there. Receive wisdom from the secret
• 55:45
  place. Receive ideas, witty inventions.
• 55:49
  Then go to the marketplace, Go to your job, go to your lab, go
• 55:54
  to your business, go to the faculty.
• 55:57
  Are we together? Go to the business.
• 55:59
  Import solutions, import wisdom, import ideas that can transform
• 56:05
  your family. They may doubt your God, but
• 56:09
  they cannot doubt the result that comes through you.
• 56:12
  It is called the Wisdom of the Just.
• 56:17
  Breathe, Lord, Breathe, Lord, breathe.
• 56:20
  Lord, breathe. Breathe upon my will.
• 56:27
  You breathe Lord, breathe free loan free free upon my life.
• 56:39
  Let me tell you this, You have heard me say this.
• 56:43
  Every national problem was a regional problem that could not
• 56:49
  be solved. Every regional problem plaguing
• 56:53
  society was a community problem that could not be solved.
• 56:59
  Every community problem was first a family problem that
• 57:04
  could not be solved. So what you call national
• 57:07
  problems start as family problems without intelligence to
• 57:11
  solve them, then it becomes a community problem without
• 57:15
  intelligence to solve them. Then it becomes a regional
• 57:19
  problem without intelligence to solve it, that it becomes a
• 57:22
  national problem and a transcontinental problem.
• 57:27
  Every armed robber, every kidnapper came from a family.
• 57:31
  He started as a stubborn child. The parents could not access
• 57:35
  intelligence to change him. Then he became a Capone around
• 57:38
  the community, then around the region.
• 57:41
  Then he partnered with other devilish fraternities, until now
• 57:45
  he became a fire and a force that is difficult to tame.
• 57:49
  To change society, change regions.
• 57:53
  To change regions, change communities.
• 57:56
  To change communities, transform families.
• 57:59
  Start from there. Every father, every mother,
• 58:03
  every garden, every parent must pray to receive intelligence to
• 58:08
  be able to transform your child. Then your child would transform
• 58:12
  his classmates. Then when your child becomes a
• 58:15
  lecturer, he would transform everyone until the society
• 58:19
  becomes transformed. I truly believe gathered here
• 58:22
  today and following online are many people who will emerge as a
• 58:28
  mighty army, an army that will not only be vibrant spiritually,
• 58:34
  but will sustain the intelligence to contextualize
• 58:37
  the Christian faith in a way that produces notable, feasible,
• 58:43
  undeniable life applicable solutions.
• 58:47
  If I just described you shout Amen.
• 58:55
  Just breathe Your name upon me. Breathe.
• 59:00
  Just breathe Your name upon me. Breathe.
• 59:04
  Let that be your prayer. Your never heads your name.
• 59:09
  Breathe, Lord, just breathe. Your name upon me.
• 59:14
  Breathe. That's our prayer today.
• 59:18
  Just breathe your name upon me. Breathe.
• 59:24
  Just bring your name upon me. Breathe.
• 59:40
  Let me wrap up. Mandate #1 The Mandate for Souls
• 59:47
  World Evangelization mandate #2 The mandate to bear fruit, to be
• 59:54
  fruitful as a channel for revealing the glory of God and
• 1:00:00
  forgiving Him. Glory mandate #3 The mandate to
• 1:00:04
  bring the Church to a point of maturity and stature, generally
• 1:00:10
  through the instrument of the fivefold ministry, but more
• 1:00:13
  specifically to speak the truth in love.
• 1:00:19
  Mandate #4. The mandate to transform
• 1:00:22
  society, to transform nations, to be light and salt using the
• 1:00:28
  instrument of the seven mountains, the channels, media,
• 1:00:33
  arts, business, entertainment, finances, government, family,
• 1:00:40
  education, you name it, onto good walks.
• 1:00:46
  To come up with intelligence, to come up with solutions that
• 1:00:51
  justify our passion, our law for God, our press in the secret
• 1:00:56
  place. Mandate #5 is the mandate to
• 1:01:02
  walk in love. The 5th mandate is the mandate
• 1:01:08
  to walk in love. John 1334 to 35.
• 1:01:14
  Please give it to us quickly. John, 1334 to 35.
• 1:01:20
  A new commandment. Not a new suggestion, not a new
• 1:01:27
  advice, not a new wish. It's a commandment.
• 1:01:32
  A new commandment I give on to you.
• 1:01:37
  Not just that you should love me.
• 1:01:39
  You should love one another, Not as you want many.
• 1:01:47
  Times. Now just a word of humor.
• 1:01:52
  I hope I don't get into trouble. Our mother is here.
• 1:01:57
  Women sometimes bully men and say the Bible says husbands love
• 1:02:02
  your wife as Christ loves the church.
• 1:02:06
  Men let me give you a bail out scripture.
• 1:02:10
  The Bible says love one another as I have loved you.
• 1:02:15
  So when women say men you must love me as Christ loved the
• 1:02:19
  church tell I agree, but let's go to John 13, a new commandment
• 1:02:24
  I give you that you should love one another as I have loved you
• 1:02:29
  one another as I have loved you Hallelujah.
• 1:02:34
  You get my point. But the Bible says here if you
• 1:02:39
  get into trouble, don't make reference to me, go to God.
• 1:02:43
  Hallelujah. If you get into trouble, if your
• 1:02:45
  wife refuses to agree, just say I'm sorry, I'll kill it there.
• 1:02:49
  If you Call My Name, Unfortunately, I will not be
• 1:02:51
  there. Hallelujah, a new commandment I
• 1:02:57
  give on to you that you. Should love one another, but
• 1:03:02
  there is a benchmark, a standard love one another as I have loved
• 1:03:07
  you, that he also loved one another.
• 1:03:10
  Verse 35 By this shall all men know.
• 1:03:17
  By this shall non Christian men know.
• 1:03:21
  By this shall professionals know.
• 1:03:25
  By this shall Heads of Government know that you are my
• 1:03:30
  disciples. Not when you pray in tongues,
• 1:03:34
  not when you roll on the floor, not when you jump up and down.
• 1:03:39
  When you have love. Not for me.
• 1:03:42
  They can't see me, but they can use your love one for another,
• 1:03:47
  and judge that the God who must have implanted this love is a
• 1:03:51
  good God. That means they judge my
• 1:03:55
  character by the way you treat yourselves.
• 1:03:59
  The Bible calls it the law of love.
• 1:04:01
  Look up please, in discipleship. This is one of the anchor
• 1:04:06
  pillars for Bible discipleship, the law of love.
• 1:04:13
  When you get born again, when you are taught to walk by faith,
• 1:04:17
  the next thing to be taught is the law of love.
• 1:04:21
  Your discipleship is not complete if you learn warfare,
• 1:04:25
  if you learn how to walk by faith, if you learn the power of
• 1:04:29
  productivity. Are we together?
• 1:04:32
  How to pray, how to fast. And you ignore the law of love
• 1:04:36
  by this, by loving one another the way I loved you.
• 1:04:42
  How did Jesus love us while we were yet sinners, undeserving,
• 1:04:47
  unqualified? He loved us, He reached down to
• 1:04:51
  us. Love does not only reach.
• 1:04:56
  Up love reaches down. It is very natural to reach up
• 1:05:01
  because it is to your advantage. But when you reach down, it is
• 1:05:05
  called sacrifice. Many people like reaching up,
• 1:05:09
  that's why they love God. But reaching down will cost you.
• 1:05:13
  You will bend in an uncomfortable position.
• 1:05:20
  The law of love. This is where I thank my parents
• 1:05:29
  for giving me the name that they gave me.
• 1:05:33
  The name Salman means the way to love.
• 1:05:37
  Very good name, very good name. I'm grateful to God.
• 1:05:46
  The name reminds me all the time that anointing minus love will
• 1:05:52
  not leave you much. Revelation minus love will not
• 1:05:57
  leave you much. Skill minus love will not leave
• 1:06:02
  you much. I tell you something I've learnt
• 1:06:04
  in leadership. People will soon forget what you
• 1:06:08
  told them, but they will never forget how they felt in your
• 1:06:11
  presence. People do not care how much you
• 1:06:15
  know, especially this generation, until they know how
• 1:06:19
  much you care. Where knowledge fails, love can
• 1:06:23
  still go further. Where skill fails, love can
• 1:06:27
  still go further. I know people today who do not
• 1:06:30
  know so much, but my goodness, their gap in knowledge has been
• 1:06:34
  well covered with love. I know people who know so much,
• 1:06:39
  but because they negated the law of love, it's been to their
• 1:06:43
  detriment. Ladies and gentlemen, this is
• 1:06:46
  the mandate. We have a mandate so that you
• 1:06:50
  don't just jump and say I'm attending or I attended the
• 1:06:54
  mandate. All the discussions that have
• 1:06:56
  come from yesterday and will culminate to the end of this
• 1:07:00
  convention is centered around this.
• 1:07:03
  The mandate for souls. The mandate to be fruitful and
• 1:07:09
  that the purpose of your fruitfulness must be to glorify
• 1:07:13
  Jesus. The mandate #3 to transform
• 1:07:21
  believers and bring them to a point of maturity.
• 1:07:25
  The mandate to transform society and nations, to be light and
• 1:07:30
  salt, to contextualize your secret place and that which
• 1:07:35
  comes from it, and provide solutions, solutions that make
• 1:07:41
  the world a better place. And the mandate to walk in love.
• 1:07:47
  Colossians 314 will be outstanding shortly.
• 1:07:51
  Colossians 3 and verse 14 above. All these things put on charity,
• 1:07:58
  love and the Bible calls it the bond of perfection, the bond of
• 1:08:03
  perfectness. A final scripture for this now
• 1:08:08
  afternoon is Ephesians 5 one and two the law of love.
• 1:08:15
  Be ye therefore followers of God as their children.
• 1:08:21
  And then verse 2, which is our final verse and.
• 1:08:25
  Walk in love, not just talk the language of love.
• 1:08:31
  Live the lifestyle of love you notice almost every time the
• 1:08:36
  Bible talks about. Love, it does not leave you to
• 1:08:40
  define your standards, it connects it to the standard of
• 1:08:44
  Christ work in love, as Christ also had loved us and gave
• 1:08:51
  himself for us as an offering and his sacrifice.
• 1:08:55
  It's my prayer. That because you came for the
• 1:08:58
  mandate, it's my prayer that because you had a chance to
• 1:09:03
  follow, to listen, even if it's by way of rebroadcast, that this
• 1:09:08
  will strengthen your understanding that there is a
• 1:09:12
  corporate commissioning. God has an expectation upon us
• 1:09:18
  and over our lives as believers. It is called the mandate.
• 1:09:22
  And that is not just a one sentence generic statement, but
• 1:09:27
  that it has many tributaries, many expressions #1 souls #2
• 1:09:36
  fruitfulness #3 the maturity of the Saints #4 the transformation
• 1:09:43
  of society #5 the character of Christ revealed as we love one
• 1:09:48
  another. Please rise up on your feet and
• 1:09:52
  begin to bless the Lord for all that you have heard.
• 1:09:58
  Go ahead and bless Him. Give Him thanks, give him
• 1:10:03
  praise, worship, honor Him. Blessed are your ears for the
• 1:10:08
  things you have heard today from the first session and now this
• 1:10:13
  session. This is the believers
• 1:10:16
  ordination. This is the Believers
• 1:10:19
  Commission. This is the believers mandate.
• 1:10:24
  Go ahead and pray. Receive grace, Your hands lifted
• 1:10:27
  above your head as a sign of surrender.
• 1:10:32
  Father, I receive grace. Now that I know these things, I
• 1:10:38
  am determined to put them to walk.
• 1:10:41
  Fresh grace to be all about souls like our Father and the
• 1:10:45
  Lord taught us yesterday. Fresh grace to contend for the
• 1:10:50
  knowledge, the body of truth that will help me to birth
• 1:10:54
  result. Fresh grace.
• 1:10:56
  Someone is praying Fresh grace. Shabella Capran Tasca para Cato.
• 1:11:03
  Suppress fresh grace to contribute actively in the
• 1:11:12
  growth and the maturity of the body, beyond denominational
• 1:11:17
  barriers, beyond sentiments and prejudices.
• 1:11:21
  To watch the back of one another and help one another stand to
• 1:11:27
  break the walls of divide that have plagued the church for many
• 1:11:32
  years and decades. Go ahead and pray the grace to
• 1:11:38
  transport intelligence from the secret place, in the place of
• 1:11:44
  prayer, in the place of fasting, in the place of fellowship, in
• 1:11:49
  the place of study, to contextualize knowledge, and
• 1:11:53
  through the help of the spirit. Birth solutions, Scientific
• 1:11:58
  solutions, governmental solutions, agro allied
• 1:12:03
  solutions, Medical solutions, security solutions, Moral
• 1:12:12
  solutions. Finally, obtain grace to walk in
• 1:12:20
  love. Go ahead and obtain grace.
• 1:12:24
  The grace to practice forgiveness.
• 1:12:27
  The grace to practice for parents, The grace to practice
• 1:12:31
  tolerance to all. No man, nothing but love.
• 1:12:37
  Receive grace in the name of Jesus.
• 1:12:42
  What is in Jesus mighty name? We pray.
• 1:12:48
  It's in Jesus victorious name we pray.
• 1:12:57
  Shortly we're going to be wrapping up so that we go and
• 1:13:00
  rest. And then we prepare for the
• 1:13:02
  night session. The night session starts 4:30 on
• 1:13:06
  the dot. It's a stretch, but it's a time
• 1:13:10
  of retreat and renewal for you. So once we're done praying,
• 1:13:15
  Minister Dunsen will still take us another 10 minutes of
• 1:13:19
  prophetic praise. We wrap up every session with
• 1:13:22
  prophetic praise. You'll be here with us again one
• 1:13:26
  last time this evening. And our mother, Mommy Funke,
• 1:13:31
  will still be here with us this evening again.
• 1:13:33
  And we're so honored to have her presence.
• 1:13:35
  Mommy, we love you. Thank you sincerely.
• 1:13:38
  Thank you sincerely. Tonight we'll have two sessions
• 1:13:42
  again and then I'll come up and prophecy over you if we have the
• 1:13:47
  time. We'll pray for the sick tonight
• 1:13:50
  and trust God for grace, and any other instruction will come in
• 1:13:56
  the night. I want to apologize for the
• 1:13:58
  heat, the weather. I know that it's been very
• 1:14:01
  uncomfortable, but it's a sacrifice.
• 1:14:04
  Hopefully during one of my sessions, I'll have an
• 1:14:07
  opportunity to share with us why we had to transit from where you
• 1:14:12
  know, we where and then to use the stadium.
• 1:14:15
  It was our best option and it's not so convenient because of the
• 1:14:19
  weather, but we thank God for the grace and in the.
• 1:14:22
  Name of Jesus Christ. Because you have endured,
• 1:14:25
  because you are pushed, you will tell the story tomorrow.
• 1:14:29
  In the name of Jesus, you will tell the story that it was upon
• 1:14:33
  the wings of sacrifice. The Lord changed your life.
• 1:14:36
  You received an anointing He imparted upon you for the next
• 1:14:39
  season in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 1:14:43
  Our mother already did the altar call, so I would not repeat
• 1:14:46
  that. Let me just speak a blessing
• 1:14:48
  upon our lives. Please let me encourage you
• 1:14:51
  invite us, many online and on site to join tonight.
• 1:14:55
  It will be a glorious time. 4:30 on the dot we begin the
• 1:14:59
  intercessory prayer and then by 5 the service starts.
• 1:15:02
  We want to give our speakers ample time and then we hope and
• 1:15:06
  trust that will maintain the tempo of our closing.
• 1:15:10
  I was very happy we closed on time yesterday, particularly
• 1:15:13
  because I did not preach, and I'm happy that I'm not going to
• 1:15:16
  do so much of the preaching. Glorify God for that, even
• 1:15:20
  though you will receive so much. But the point is, I'm hoping and
• 1:15:24
  praying that will not stretch beyond the time allotted.
• 1:15:28
  We thank God for the grace. The Lord bless you in Jesus.
• 1:15:31
  Name Father, we thank you for Day 2.
• 1:15:36
  We give you praise for this morning session.
• 1:15:38
  We thank you for our family connected online and for us who
• 1:15:44
  are here this beautiful facility.
• 1:15:47
  We thank you for your word and the power behind the word.
• 1:15:53
  Thank you for charging our hearts that there is an
• 1:15:56
  ordination upon us to take away the reproach that the devil has
• 1:16:01
  placed upon families, lives, territories, and This is why you
• 1:16:05
  are bringing us to a place of renewed ordination.
• 1:16:08
  I pray in the name of Jesus that upon hearing the things that we
• 1:16:13
  have heard tonight, we receive strength, we receive grace, will
• 1:16:18
  receive power to drive the mandate to its fruition in all
• 1:16:23
  its ramification. In the name of Jesus, now I pray
• 1:16:27
  over you. May the Lord bless you.
• 1:16:30
  May my God bless you. In the name of Jesus, you will
• 1:16:34
  encounter fresh and various levels of graces allotted for
• 1:16:39
  your new season. In the name of Jesus Christ, I
• 1:16:43
  speak over you. You will not be small.
• 1:16:45
  My God will lift you. You will not be small.
• 1:16:48
  Your children will not be small. Your spouse will not be small.
• 1:16:54
  The works of your hands will not be small.
• 1:16:56
  You will bear fruits, even fruits that remain in the mighty
• 1:17:01
  name of Jesus Christ. And like our mother taught us, I
• 1:17:05
  speak over you. No weapon that is fashioned
• 1:17:08
  against you will prosper, and every tongue that rises up
• 1:17:11
  against you, let it fall in judgment.
• 1:17:14
  You will condemn it. You have condemned it and it
• 1:17:17
  falls in judgment. In the name of Jesus Christ, as
• 1:17:21
  you return back to rest, refresh to return for the night, I
• 1:17:25
  declare be blessed in Jesus mighty name we pray, shout a
• 1:17:32
  sevenfold. Amen. 12GO-23, 4567 Help me
• 1:17:48
  welcome, Minister. Johnson, God bless you.
