• 0:40
  Speaker 1: every minute counts as you listen attentively.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Father.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: Father, I will give you praise for yet another season
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: in your presence.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Oh, for our.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: The privilege to be able to worship you in spirit
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: and in truth. We thank you, particularly for revealing your
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: counsel to us and not hiding your thoughts. We give
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: you praise.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: This morning, yet again, I ask that, Lord, you help us.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: I didn't hear your amen.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: You will strengthen our hearts. Every veil will disappear. We
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: give you praise. In Jesus' mighty name. Let's give the
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: Lord a big, big hand.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: God bless you. Please be seated. So I want to
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: teach you on how to initiate a change of season.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: How to initiate a change of season. Let's turn our
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: Bibles quickly. To the book of Ecclesiastes. Chapter number 3
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: from verse 1. Ecclesiastes chapter number 3 from verse 1.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: And permit me to tell you that If you are
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: not fellowshipping with your Bible, you may not be able
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: to survive this season.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Amen? We are still at the sweet part of the revival.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: There is another part that looks like it is not
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: fashionable to stand for Jesus. And it will take those
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: that God has wired. See, at this phase, almost anybody
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: who is not fellowshipping with God in prayer can click
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: to know him. And go away with it. But we
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: are moving to a season where you may look at
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: cake for standing for certain principles. And then it may,
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: do you understand what I'm saying? It may look like.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: It will take those. That have found God. And I
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: have an assignment. To prepare you for that season.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: And beyond. So to everything. There is a season. The
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: word season there. Is the word.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: That's the word season there. And we're not just reading
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: the Hebrew for knowledge, Hebrew sake. No, it's so that
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: you can understand the meaning. All right? Sometimes it's like Yoruba.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: Time could mean many things. And the word, the interpretation
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: of that word is the word an appointed occasion.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: So if I say to you that.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: I'll be preaching by 2pm, then 2pm is the appointed occasion.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: It's not just time now. It's the season for the
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: commencement of something.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Okay? Is that simple enough? Good. For instance, when a
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: woman is pregnant.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: According to God's divine creation and orchestration, the pregnancy should
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: not last nine months, beyond nine months. Maybe just some
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: weeks before, some weeks back, plus two, minus two weeks,
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: and all that.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: But as you begin to approach.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: That particular timeline, then you know that there is a season.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: This is a season appointed for certain things to happen.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: So it informs the quality of preparation. It informs the
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: activity of that season. Because, for instance, if a pregnant
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: woman goes to the hospital to run a scan, they
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: tell you this is the EDD, expected date of delivery. So,
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: as you begin to approach that season, It is not
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: just going to be.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: 29th of January. The same way everybody. Time.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: The same way everyone is counting time. For you that time.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: Is the expected time of delivery. Is it simple enough?
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Good. So to everything there is a season.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Expected and appointed time. For the fulfillment of something.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: And then. A time to every purpose. Under the heaven. So.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: The second one is the expansion of that. So, the
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: question is, who initiates season? If someone says, I'm currently
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: going through this phase in my life, this is the
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: season that I'm in, the question is, who initiated that season?
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: Are you following what I'm saying here? So, who initiates seasons?
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: The Israelites, At a season. Of 400 years. In captivity.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Alright.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: A word of prophecy went forth. But who initiated it?
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: Because sometimes what you think. Is that good or bad
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: prophecies are obligated to come to pass on their own.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: It's not true.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: If someone looks at you. Don't let me go there.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: Let me give you this illustration. If someone who is,
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: probably let me use, probably an accountant, comes to the morgue, mortuary,
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: and sees bodies, and they say, we're going to leave
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: you in this room for another five minutes, the fellow
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: may pass out. Because by the function of exposure, this
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: fellow is not exposed to this kind.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: And all the.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Spooky junks that a fellow has in the mind will
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: begin to play out. You start thinking that this fellow
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: can wake up, this dead body can touch me, can
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: do all those things. Meanwhile, there are people who are
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: anatomists whose job on day-to-day basis is to interact with
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: such To them there is nothing spooky.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: This is just another cadaver. So sometimes. It is knowledge
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: that differentiates experience.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: Amen.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: So if someone looks at you. And say. The way
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: I am looking at you. You are going to be
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: very poor.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: See. That statement can be a lie. Even without the anointing.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: And can be a lie by simple understanding. That for
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: poverty to reign in my life, there must be a
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: cooperation between me and that poverty.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: So when we say the.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: Spiritual controls the physical, the spiritual does not override the
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: physical without the permission of the physical.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: How do I explain this?
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: Because sometimes these things look simple, but you need to
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: understand the roots. I believe by now you understand that
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: things don't just happen in the spirit realm.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: There's no casual event. There's no casual occasion.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: There's no normal that this fellow just got up and
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: this just happened. I shared the story of a time
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: I was in the church office. I sat there in
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: the office and the Lord, something flashed through my spirit
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: and I saw there's a body on the ground. There's
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: an accident. I began to pray, Oh Lord, I ask
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: by your power One of the things I've learned to
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: do is to localize my prayer. Particularly to those that
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: God has given me a sphere of influence over.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: That's another topic entirely.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: Because prayers works faster where your instruction can also get to.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: Because sometimes the idea of every individual is that prayer
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: will do.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: The things by itself. No.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: Sometimes man has to be instructed to be positioned for
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: the prayer to work.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: So it took probably about 10 minutes. I heard a
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: loud noise.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: And by the time I came out, I saw people gathering.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: They said someone has been knocked down dead by a car.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Another car.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: A car was coming on high speed. Another car was
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: coming on high speed. They were going to have head-on collision.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: They both maneuvered. It's an equation. At a time this
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: should happen. When both of them will turn their hands.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: Then so so and so person. In fact in the
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: spirit realm. It is not so so and so person.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: It is whomever is not. Probably under these. Or whomever
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: should be here. But someone must be there. If you
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: look at the width of a car. And the size
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: of a person. then you must know it takes a
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: calculation for a person to be right in front. So,
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: the man was knocked down dead. If you ask a
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: normal person, what time is it for this man? It
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: was his time to die. But it could not without cooperation.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: You can't be a victim of evil prophecy you didn't
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: cooperate with.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm trying to tell you.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: And at the same time, you can't also be a
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: beneficiary of good prophecies you didn't cooperate with.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: So the boat needs your approval. Is that simple enough?
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: Uh-huh.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: So seasons don't just come. They are initiated. Okay? And
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: let me give you another instance.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: One of the prophecies about Nigeria by S.G. Elton is
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: that a time will come Nigeria as a nation will
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: be known for corruption.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Hated all over the world. But another time will come.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: That this same nation will be known for righteousness, for peace,
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: for prosperity. That different nations will beckon to Nigeria and
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: come to a nation.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: The first one, did it come to pass by itself? No.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: It took a deficiency in the knowledge of the church
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: for us to focus on certain things and the areas
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: we did not focus on initiated the fulfillment of that prophecy.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: And that's why I said the devil speaks the loudest
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: at the peak of revival. The problem of the next
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: move will be initiated at the height of this move.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: Let me just leave that like that. So it will
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: take men who are not carried away by the noise
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: of the moose to watch when this is no longer
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: God but the devil.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Okay?
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: So even when Abraham had received the word, your children
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: will sojourn in a strange land. God was speaking about
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: a season that will come. But Nobody will just come
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: and take them out of their land and make them.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: Slaves in Egypt unless they initiate it.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: And we saw that the initiation began from just a
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: simple family beef. Sometimes a simple misunderstanding with your spouse
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: can initiate years of darkness.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: It was a simple family beef. Just a simple family.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: Children having issues with these children, and this one is asking,
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: do you have issues with him?
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: Also say, we have issues with him. Say, let's kill him.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: Whether you believe it or not.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: If Joseph had been killed, the Abrahamic covenant would have
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: been broken.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: You say, is this scripture? Yes, it is.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: In fact, basically when we take time to read our
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: Bibles cover to cover, you will discover many times God
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: rerouted from things we thought he would not reroute from.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: One of the most.
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: Difficult change, and I use the word difficult because for
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: God to make was that there would have been no
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: need for a Paul. But Peter would not just take it.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: And he just had to move on to Paul. Like
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: Peter never existed. Sometimes it is not sin that will
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: make God wear out.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: It is your indoctrination. And the fact that you said
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: it can't change, it can't. Okay. Do you understand what
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: I'm saying?
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: So the seizing of slavery was initiated.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: By the brothers.
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: They sold him there. The famine came. They had to
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: go there to buy food. Then they had to hang around.
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: Okay?
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: And I showed you on Tuesday.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: How that according to prophecy that season should last how
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: many years? How many years? 400 years. But how many
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: years did it last? Huh?
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: 430 years.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: Because they did not know how to initiate the end
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: of that season.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Do you understand what I'm saying?
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: They did not know how to initiate the end of
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: that season. Sometimes it's easier to get into a painful season.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Than to come out.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: Because getting into it requires deficiency in your knowledge, but
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: coming out requires accurate understanding. I showed you on Thursday,
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: that one of the ways to initiate a change of
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: season is to have understanding.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: Not just basic knowledge. Understanding.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: Proverbs 24, true wisdom is a house built, but by.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: Understanding it is what? Established.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: Through knowledge, the chambers are filled with pleasant riches. So,
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: I grew up in a place where I saw very,
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: very wrong marriage. My parents, there was no marriage in
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: the first place. Everything was not, it was not even existing.
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: Talk less of being bad. You understand what I'm saying?
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: And one of the things, I beg you in the
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: name of God, stay with God.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: Okay? Stay with the Lord.
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: One of the things I found out myself was that
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: it is not automatic for patterns to continue.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: See, see, It is not. It requires your alignment.
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: Or maybe in this family what you have gone through
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: is pattern of poverty. It is not automatic for it
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: to be transgenerational. It stops where there is an understanding.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: It stops when God sees a man that understands the
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: thing he should understand.
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: Okay?
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Okay?
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: So, I remember the first story I shared with you
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: was the story of Daniel.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: It's a very, very remarkable one.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: And one of the things understanding does is that understanding
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: doesn't just.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: Give you a reaffirmed consciousness.
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: You cannot insist a result on this understanding. If you
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: know it, it would be easy for someone who understands
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: it to confuse you that maybe you don't know as
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: you should know. But if you understand it, you are
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: established and no one can talk you out of it.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: Okay?
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: And sometimes the word knowledge and the word understanding are
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: used interchangeably until you go to the root. Have you
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: seen people who talk to you out of what you know?
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: Let me give you an instance. There was a time
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: as a child. Probably I was around nine years old
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: or ten years old. I entered one of the rooms
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: in our house and I I saw one of my
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: cousins living with us. And he was on the bed.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: I stood there talking with him. I noticed he was
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: trying to cover somebody on the bed. But I was
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: seeing the person's jeans.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: I didn't know. I knew what I was seeing. But
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: I did not understand.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: So he said, go to the parlor and go and
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: pick that money and go to that place and go
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: and buy bread. So, sometimes it will take years for
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: you to understand what you know. You knew it because
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: you saw it. But it's not established because it's not rounded.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: But as you increase, you now understand what you know.
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: And before understanding comes, you can be swayed. And told
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: that it's not actually what you are thinking. What was
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: I wearing? There were jeans and all that. So what's there?
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: Can't I lie down on jeans? But it was not
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: just jeans. It was a sister. And I, because I
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: later found out who the sister was. But I didn't understand.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: So in the same light you can read the Bible
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: but you don't understand what you are reading. And it
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: won't really do you good. Because you can't insist on
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: even what the Bible says because you don't understand. So
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: Daniel chapter number 9. Daniel 9 from verse 1 In
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: the first year of Darius, the son of Aeseros, of
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: the seed of the Medes, which was made king over
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: the realm of the Chaldeans.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: If you guys will have the patience.
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: Of Bible teaching and Bible interpretation, I would have loved
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: to show you how many things that we now have
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: are interconnected in Bible days.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: Alright? But let's leave that.
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: In the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, understood
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: by books. You don't need, you can't understand by a book.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: You understand by books. Because you need different body of
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: knowledge coming together for establishment.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: I understood by books the.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: Number of the years whereof the word of the Lord
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: came to Jeremiah the prophet that it will accomplish 70
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: years in the desolation of Jerusalem. So he understood that.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: Their captivity should not be for life.
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: Sometimes people start coming into understanding when they are past
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: their appointed time. And they have suffered beyond the length
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: of days they should have. There is an understanding that
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: comes by fellowshipping with God. But there is one that
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: it takes sufferings that is not in God's budget. Because
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: I really do not have the time. I would have
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: loved to. It was not in the 70th year that
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: he understood.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: Alright?
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: It was before the 70th. In fact, it was in
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: the 60th year. So, this understanding informed. So, let's check
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: what Jeremiah said. So, what did he understand? Look at
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: what Jeremiah said. Turn your Bible, please. To the book
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: of Jeremiah. Jeremiah 30 verse 18.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: Okay, thanksgiving. Go to verse 20 now.
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: Children shall be as a full time and their congregation
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: shall be established before me and I will punish all
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: that oppress them. Yes?
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: Quickly.
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: And their nobles shall be of themselves and their governor
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: shall proceed from the midst of them and I will
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: cause him to draw near and shall approach unto me
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: For who is this that I engage the heart to
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: approach unto me, says the Lord.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: And ye shall be my people, and I will be
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: your God. Go back to that verse 17 now. Verse 18.
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: Thus says the Lord, Behold, I will bring again the
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: captivity of Jacob's tent, and I will have mercy on
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: his dwelling places. And the city shall be built on
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: her own And the palace shall remain after the martyrs.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: Now if we check this, you will see that the
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: first thing that Nebuchadnezzar attacked was the fulfillment of this prophecy.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: Because those that should abuse the palace, he brought them
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: to his own palace. The nobles, it's not like what
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: we have now in Nigeria. It was actually the days
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: that real nobles are.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: The ones leading. Okay? So he began to search and said,
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: it's true.
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: The length of our captivity should not go beyond this season.
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: And as he saw it, the moment a man understood it,
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: God was ready for their deliverance.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: Sometimes people pray.
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: About a change of season then don't get results because
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: the prayer is not an offshoot of a seated understanding.
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: With any conversation they can be convinced again that maybe
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: they should still suffer more for a while. But just
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: that moment when the person comes to himself that this
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: is it, it goes no further, God says that is it.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: And all demons say, okay, now he knows. That's it.
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: And when will the season change? Just when you understand.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: Why is it like that? You will not be able
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: to insist until the knowledge is rounded. You can't insist.
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: How do I Because sometimes some people just think that
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: as we are learning on the subject, reversing the mistakes
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: of Joseph, it will be that the moment the church
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: understands that this is it, then things are going to change.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: It's not true.
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: That understanding will create in you a fighting spirit. Then
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: you will now go to war with that understanding. Let
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: me show you from scriptures. Proverbs chapter number 24. Proverbs 24.
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: If you are there, say Amen. Now look at it.
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: Let's start the reading from verse 5. A wise man
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: is strong. A man of knowledge increases strength. For by
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: a wise counsel thou shalt wage thy war.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: And a multitude of counselors there is what? Safety.
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: Wisdom is too high for a fool He opened not
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: his mouth in the gate. He that devised to do
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: evil shall be called a mischievous person. The thought of
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: foolishness is sin. Now, the Bible did not say that
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: you will wage a war simply because you know how
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: to fight. You need something deeper to now make war.
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: Those are the things you are harmed and equipped to
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: go to war with. The way you insist in prayer
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: when you know what you are talking about is actually
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: God's season for you. It's different from the way you
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: pray when you are second-guessing. There are two different things.
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: Just that moment that it occurs to that person that
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: I am that seed in our family. Full womb God
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: will bring deliverance. Then you talk. What kind of walk?
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: You now begin to insist first on a different pattern.
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: And against every blockade. But people don't win. Because they
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: fight without understanding. Look at it now. Psalms 82.
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: Psalm 82.
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: Turn your Bibles there. Psalm 82.
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: Let's start from verse 5. Look at it now. He
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: said they know not. Neither will they what?
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: Understand.
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: They walk on in darkness. And because they don't understand,
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: all the foundations will be out of course. In fact, yes,
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: they will even what? I have said you are gods.
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: Verse 6. You shall die like men. Meaning that even
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: when longevity is yours, without understanding it, you will fall.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: Do you understand what I'm saying? Jesus did not just
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: know his purpose statement. He understood it. Are you following
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: what I'm saying?
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: Listen. Knowledge is in your head. Understanding is in your heart.
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: The distance is wide.
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: Alright.
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: Now we saw a second case of the Israelites.
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: We're supposed to be in captivity for 400 years.
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: And God began to initiate his plan of deliverance in
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: their 390 years. Understanding shrinks seasons. Exodus 12 from verse 40.
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: Now the sojourning of the children of Israel who dwelt
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: in Egypt was how many years?
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: 430 years.
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: And it came to pass at the end of 430 years,
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: even the self-same day. That's the exact day. It's clock 430.
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: Have you seen that God was marking time? That self-same day,
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: it came to pass that all the host of the
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: Lord went out from the land of Egypt. But what
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: did Moses say? Acts of the Apostles, chapter number 7
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: from verse 23. Acts 7 from verse 23. And when
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: he was full 40 years old, that's Moses now, it
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: came to his heart to visit his brethren, the children
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: of Israel. Seeing one of them suffer on it, it
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: defended him and avenged him that was oppressed and smote
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: the Egyptians. And he supposed his brethren would have understood,
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: not just have knowledge.
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: Meaning that, because this statement is very deep.
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: So he thought that his brothers will know that as
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: they were seeing him in Egypt, they will know that
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: is one of our kind.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: But what was happening was on the contrary. Look at
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: that idiot. He's one of us. We are suffering. He's
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: enjoying it. He's enjoying it. Look at that idiot.
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: When you get offended at those you should understand, your
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: captivity is elongated.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: You have to understand.
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: So Moses taught that by now they should understand that
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: by his hands their deliverance will come. So Moses had
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: found the book of prophecies. He had read it. And
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: then he had found himself in the book. Because he
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: will not suppose that they should understand that God will
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: use him to save them unless he has.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: Found himself and he knows his path.
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: See, one of the reasons why I'm not swayed as
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: to what my path is, is because what I do
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: in the body of Christ is not a function of knowledge.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: I know precisely what my path is.
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: So if you put me among 200 ministers, I'm not
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: going to take anybody's form.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: I understand my assignment. So do you understand your assignment?
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: So he is supposed. So he has assumed. Sometimes, and
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: pastors can relate to this, sometimes you are talking from
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: a burden because you suppose that the people would understand
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: that this is the season that God will bring them out.
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: But no, they don't understand.
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: And if they don't understand, the magnitude and the intensity
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: with which you are communicating will be misunderstood. Sometimes the
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: fire becomes much because you are hard to understand. Now
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: is the time that God will separate me from mean men.
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: seen people get offended when I teach against certain things
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: proceed your friends because they don't understand and sometimes they
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: do not understand that the fellow who is talking does
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: not just have the grace to communicate but the grace
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: to bring you out and the bringing out takes stretching
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: sometimes you just want to sleep and meet yourself outside
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: no you walk out.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: And it takes work.
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: That's why many people in church don't get it. So
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: it is, I found that out and I'm telling you,
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: it is not enough to pray as a pastor and
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: have a body that now the people should be free.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: It is the time for the emancipation.
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: Hey, you have to now bring them to understanding because
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: the same people can raise an army against you. He
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: supposed that his brethren would have understood that it would
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: have been seated.
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: They would have been expecting him to come.
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: That God by his hand will deliver them what they understood.
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: Verse 26 now.
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: And the next day, so when he killed that one,
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: he expected them that you will know that we are one.
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: He didn't have to say it. But that they will
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: understand that I've started. Go and start telling the rest
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: that The man God has for us, they are started.
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: The next day he showed himself to them as the strove.
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: They were fighting again. So he showed up to them.
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: And would have set them at one again saying, you
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: are brethren.
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: Why do you wrong? Why do you wrong one to another? Yes.
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: But he that did his neighbor wrong, trust him away. Saying,
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: who made the ruler and the judge of house? You know,
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: when I read this place, I actually cried. Because for me,
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: the Bible is real. And I said, this is a
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: whole nation in pain, in captivity. It was not the
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: nation who spoke. It was one person.
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: One wrong guy. spoke at a strange time on behalf
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: of everyone.
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: So sometimes listen sometimes when you see that there's a
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: prophetic i'm trying to show you something this connection between
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: a pastor or a prophet and the audience it's not
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: all the audience it is that the people or those
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: who are leaders have not learned to package those who
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: have understanding and lay them front sometimes one wrong individual
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: can shut the light off the people what do you
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: do when your prophetic season comes keep the wrong guys
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: behind because they also need freedom but their attitude won't
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: bring it and it can cost you years.
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: And I've said this again.
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: In the days of emancipation, God agrees and takes the
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: posture of your deliverer.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: If he's tired, God is tired.
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: That's scripture.
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: It was Moses who was afraid and went on for
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: another 40 years. Why did God not initiate and bring
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: another man up? Deliverance is impossible. To people who don't
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: have understanding.
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: They can't. They won't understand it. They won't be able
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: to appropriate it. And sometimes. That's where the battle is.
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: It's a very painful thing.
• 40:38
  Speaker 4: You're speaking. Because you expect.
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: You expect.
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: That if this fellow is actually praying as this fellow
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: is claiming, and the fellow is speaking with God as
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: this fellow is speaking, then we will have similar burdens.
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: It's just like somebody in the well. You are trying
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: to reach out to somebody and say, bring your hand,
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: let me help you. And the fellow can't see you,
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: you will drown. So sometimes you have to retreat and
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: send emissaries. Are you now ready for your emancipation? Are
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: you now aware that you should be free? Are you
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: now aware that this And just the moment when the
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: devil saw that they did not understand their days of deliverance,
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: he multiplied their burdens. So one of the ways you
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: know your pastime is that another layer of oppression will
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: meet you there.
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: Your pastime.
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: It is a way to tell you that actually you
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: are not here because God ordained it.
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: You missed it out. And these are very serious stuff.
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: So I'm not going to go into more and more
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: observations on this than get the teaching I taught in Abuja.
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: And I just want to ask, why is it that
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: the right people are always quiet?
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: It's a question.
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: And let me tell you, sometimes a man is laboring
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: over a people and over a territory. Those who are
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: offended at him are louder than those who are blessed.
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: And the assumption of the man is that they are
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: all offended. And God just says it's true. Because that
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: is what they both hear. The one who speaks. Because
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: one of the first trouble if you know where we
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: were starting from in this ministry you will know that
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: work has been done. Because many of you don't know
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: One time, when the ministry started, I became sick. And
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: I was on oxygen in the hospital. I was in
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: several hospitals around that season. I carried on my normal assignment,
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: my normal work. I was training leaders.
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: I gave them work.
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: I was checking the work. I gave them marking and
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: media mails and replying. But somewhere in the middle of
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: the whole thing, I just felt these guys don't even care.
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: Because nobody was even reaching out or even messages.
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: I felt those things would go a long way. I
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: was actually down. And one time those.
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: Who sent something sent some things, kukumbas, and I couldn't
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: understand how I was expected to take it.
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: I felt these fruits are not friendly. Get something.
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: So I laid it bare before them. I said, you
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: guys are not caring people and all that. Then I
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: found out that they had even raised prayer chain. And
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: they were praying. And they were praying. And they were
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: doing many powerful things. But the man God has sent
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: to you can shut out of you. Not because you
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: are not doing what you should do before God. But
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: because you don't know how to translate it in wisdom
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: before the man. So you will be small if wisdom
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: only sits.
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: In your heart.
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: It must translate to actions. So don't keep quiet. Oh,
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: I wanted to say this, but I didn't know how
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: to say it. It's not going to bring the result.
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: If you need to say it, say it. And sometimes
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: it's like that in church. Some brothers have found some girls,
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: it's in their heart. But there are other brothers that
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: you don't allow it to stay in their heart for
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: too long. They go ahead and the girls just believe
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: this is the guy and God says it's true. The
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: one who speaks. A closed mouth is indeed a closed destiny.
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: But unfortunately it can be a closed destiny over a nation.
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: Be careful of allowing wrong people be your spokespersons.
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: Be careful.
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: But here is the second way to initiate a change
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: of season. And this is where we have work. This is,
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: if you get this, if you get this, then you
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: will understand real rest. Are you ready for it? Genesis
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: chapter number 8. Take me to the last verse. I
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: believe I'm correct. Genesis 8.
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: Yes. While the head. Remained. Seed time. And harvest. Cold
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: and heat. Summer and winter. And day and night. shall
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: not cease.
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: You know, when the Holy Spirit narrowed my gaze to
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: this scripture, let me have two brothers from here. Let
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: me have ten brothers from there. We're going to show
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: you an arrangement. Two brothers, please come. Okay, you stand here.
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: This is seed.
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: Okay, this is seed time. This is what you assume. Please,
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: those of you who stay there. You assume once there
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: is seed time, then there is harvest time. But that's
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: not scriptures. The scripture is, now scatter yourself.
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: Separate. Some of you can come a bit closer. It's okay.
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: Once there is seed time, there is no harvest time.
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: There is harvest. It can be any time. Harvest.
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: But as long as there is seed in the head,
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: any time that requires someone who is rightly positioned, the
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: seed responds to it, then the harvest.
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: You don't understand it. Please be seated. Sit down. Let
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: me show you something. I was telling my wife this,
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: but I didn't give her the gist.
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: There's a guy that began to trend recently, a young boy,
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: that sang in that brown school uniform.
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: You know that guy? Listen up. That's the typical example
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: of seed time and harvest. Let me explain. When I
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: saw that song, because people will not just know.
• 47:48
  Speaker 3: Why at a particular time everybody is just listening to it.
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: In all honesty, I love music and I know a
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: bit of it. There's actually nothing too spectacular about the boy.
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: That's the honest truth. But I saw people were sharing it,
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: powerful people were sharing it, influencers online. And before you
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: know it, a powerful record label signed him. Now, this
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: is the Jesus. They signed him.
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: As a child.
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: They were actually signing the boy they saw singing. But
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: when they met him, he had grown. So, but as
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: long as the seed has gone into the head, a
• 48:38
  Speaker 3: vest will catch up somewhere. The seed you put in
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: your pocket don't bring harvest. And the boy had even forgotten.
• 48:52
  Speaker 3: And guess what? It was not even the boy who
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: pushed it out. Somebody recorded it. The seed is sown.
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: That harvest will come is settled. But the question is when?
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: It's just going to come. And it's not going to
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: be a time. It's harvest spread across your life. As
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: long as people keep stumbling on it, harvest will keep coming.
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: But believers don't understand this. So we are like people
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: that bury our seed. So the question is, what have
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: you put in the earth that can initiate a change
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: over your season? Is it the post you never wrote?
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: Is it the book you never wrote? The song you
• 49:32
  Speaker 3: never sang? It may not make sense now, but when
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: the season comes, God can use it.
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: You see, time and harvest doesn't cease.
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: Because the problem is that you feel, because I've put
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: this now, it didn't seem to work. It didn't seem
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: to make sense.
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: See, time. It is time.
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: And when it is see time, it doesn't make sense.
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: Nobody's seen it. They can't even match on it. But
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: just when harvest comes. So in the days that the
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: heaven is open for plenty, he searched for seeds on
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: the earth. And guess what? No matter how little it is,
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: they are just enough. As long as you do not
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: miss sit time, you will not miss harvest. Sit down.
• 50:22
  Speaker 3: When I was getting married, somebody reached out and said,
• 50:32
  Speaker 3: I was watching the video of so-and-so minister on YouTube.
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: Then after that video, it was your video that popped up.
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: You see.
• 50:49
  Speaker 3: If I didn't put it there, it won't pop up.
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: And the fellow said, you've changed my life. Sir, I
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: just want to sow something little. The fellow sowed half
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: a million, but the fellow still later came back to
• 51:02
  Speaker 3: sow more than 30 million.
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: The seed you don't put out Can't bring others.
• 51:26
  Speaker 4: Hmm.
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: Is it making any sense? Sometimes, oh, I dropped it.
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: Sometimes it could be.
• 51:39
  Speaker 4: Anything.
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: Sometimes the seed has gone to the head, but the
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: rain has not fallen. It's there. When rain begins to fall,
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: it seeks for water to activate. It seeks for water.
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: Anyone who is doing certain things and it looks like
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: no one is seeing you, keep up. It could be
• 52:10
  Speaker 3: that someone powerful will see a clothes you have made
• 52:15
  Speaker 3: for someone.
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: And say, who made this?
• 52:20
  Speaker 3: And the funny thing is that the fellow you even
• 52:23
  Speaker 3: made it for may even have scorned without pain. But
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: it is a seed on the person. If you understand
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: that everything you do is a seed, you do it well.
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: It will speak. Because seed speaks.
• 52:40
  Speaker 4: It speaks.
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: It speaks. A seed is the voice of the future.
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: It speaks. If you have that simple understanding, you will see.
• 52:53
  Speaker 3: If you teach even before five people, you will teach well.
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: Because it is a seed.
• 53:00
  Speaker 3: It must be potent enough by the time, so that
• 53:02
  Speaker 3: by the time there is a visitation, it is just enough.
• 53:06
  Speaker 3: The one you do have, will be counterproductive. Because it
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: is seed time and harvest that will not cease. So
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: wrong seed also brings wrong harvest. Sometimes seed time is
• 53:18
  Speaker 3: that you accommodated someone who couldn't pay you back. And
• 53:22
  Speaker 3: they do riotous living. You know riotous living? And they
• 53:27
  Speaker 3: do all the funny stuff. See, if you understand seed
• 53:31
  Speaker 3: time and harvest, let me tell you something. When people
• 53:35
  Speaker 3: have done you wrong, cheated you, and tried to go offended,
• 53:41
  Speaker 3: don't let them go offended. If you go offended, you'll
• 53:45
  Speaker 3: cheat me twice. This same you can be the fellow
• 53:48
  Speaker 3: God we use tomorrow. So don't go offended. Offense has
• 53:54
  Speaker 3: no economic value.
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: It doesn't. See, don't worry. This matter is a small matter.
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: Let's set to it. Go, go, everybody, we should not
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: meet again. You don't know life.
• 54:20
  Speaker 3: In fact, one of the ways to know the devil
• 54:21
  Speaker 3: is on your matter is that everybody you offended at increases.
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 54:30
  Speaker 3: The devil is really on your matter. And he's using
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: your character to assassinate you. Some things are actually not
• 54:37
  Speaker 3: that deep. I have quite a number of people in
• 54:42
  Speaker 3: my life today that are very, very productive that if
• 54:46
  Speaker 3: you know our history, yesterday someone came to me and
• 54:57
  Speaker 3: said to me, how have you been able to manage me?
• 55:03
  Speaker 3: I said, I don't know. My wife was talking to me.
• 55:11
  Speaker 3: She said, you have connections everywhere. And it's true. But
• 55:19
  Speaker 3: you see, we have a very shallow generation that Every
• 55:22
  Speaker 3: picture goes on Facebook, every chat screenshot goes online. Once
• 55:27
  Speaker 3: I see people that they are the kind that screenshot
• 55:30
  Speaker 3: and upload on their status, that I had this chat
• 55:32
  Speaker 3: with such and such a powerful person, I don't chat
• 55:35
  Speaker 3: with them.
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: I don't. I don't.
• 55:39
  Speaker 3: I stop. Alright, because you all say, ah yes, I
• 55:44
  Speaker 3: was talking about Puselma and If you have this revelation,
• 56:02
  Speaker 3: everything your hand finds to do, you will do well.
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: There was a girl I almost married.
• 56:15
  Speaker 3: I have not told you this story. There was a
• 56:19
  Speaker 3: girl I almost married. There was a girl I almost married.
• 56:24
  Speaker 3: And how did I almost marry this girl? I was
• 56:27
  Speaker 3: watching their service online.
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: And I saw the way she did something. I was like, what?
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: Just call the pastor. Is that girl single? Someone is praying.
• 56:42
  Speaker 3: Is that girl single? When God told me that my
• 56:45
  Speaker 3: wife is my wife. I knew at the face I was,
• 56:49
  Speaker 3: I would not marry a novice. I can't marry somebody
• 56:51
  Speaker 3: who's trying to learn God from the scratch. So I
• 56:56
  Speaker 3: went online. I started searching. What's her track record? What
• 57:02
  Speaker 3: has she done for God? That's seed time. I was
• 57:07
  Speaker 3: checking the seeds in the basket. And I saw different things.
• 57:17
  Speaker 3: I saw book review. I did not even know when
• 57:20
  Speaker 3: I was checking the review. I said, once I marry her,
• 57:22
  Speaker 3: she's going to change the graphics. I did not even
• 57:24
  Speaker 3: know when I said that. And she changed the graphics.
• 57:29
  Speaker 4: Do you understand what I'm saying?
• 57:33
  Speaker 3: If she was doing those things and somebody has taught
• 57:37
  Speaker 3: her that media is nonsense, to God, we would not
• 57:40
  Speaker 3: have married. Because I needed a track record. Sometimes be
• 57:49
  Speaker 3: careful of those who teach you against the seed. Because
• 58:05
  Speaker 3: if I'm listening to ministers and what I'm learning is sweet, sweet, sweet,
• 58:11
  Speaker 3: I begin to watch out for their personal prejudices. Once
• 58:16
  Speaker 3: I hear it, I tell those around me, don't take
• 58:18
  Speaker 3: that one, don't take that one. There was a time
• 58:20
  Speaker 3: Paul would speak and now he says, I speak as
• 58:22
  Speaker 3: a man. That's their moment of speaking as a man.
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: It's not God. Separate.
• 58:27
  Speaker 3: That's why you need to have a personal revelation. And
• 58:32
  Speaker 3: at some point I saw that.
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: Making it feel like.
• 58:35
  Speaker 3: Those who are involved in media, maybe all they are
• 58:38
  Speaker 3: doing is not deep, they are just media.
• 58:39
  Speaker 2: I said, it's not so. Let me tell you something.
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: I'm going to round up once I say this.
• 58:45
  Speaker 3: Once God has given you an assignment to the body,
• 58:47
  Speaker 3: the route to reach the body is media. You cannot
• 58:50
  Speaker 3: be the one that will say media is false.
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: Listen. Listen.
• 58:55
  Speaker 3: People have great ministries, great structures. But when they want
• 58:59
  Speaker 3: to speak to the body, the door is closed. You
• 59:03
  Speaker 3: don't understand what I'm saying?
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: Listen now.
• 59:06
  Speaker 3: Before they shut down my page, one, post we had here,
• 59:12
  Speaker 3: one statement I said during the morning prayer we were
• 59:14
  Speaker 3: having then. On Twitter, went out over 2 million people.
• 59:18
  Speaker 3: Powerful people were sharing it. On Facebook, different blogs were
• 59:24
  Speaker 3: carrying it. Meanwhile, That is a seed.
• 59:29
  Speaker 2: It's in the air.
• 59:31
  Speaker 3: I can't control the outcome it will bring. Once you
• 59:34
  Speaker 3: have sown this seed, it's out of your jurisdiction.
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: It's gone out. Okay, look at... Oh God, how can
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: I help you?
• 59:49
  Speaker 3: Bishop Dageon Mills invited Dr.
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: Paul Eneche.
• 59:54
  Speaker 3: And while he was about to introduce me, he said,
• 59:56
  Speaker 3: the reason why I'm inviting you It's because I saw
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 3: that something happened in Nigeria. That there was a time
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 3: when Orangus, that's what he said, insulted Bishop David Uedepo
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 3: and you stood up to withstand him. I said, if
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 3: he can defend his father like that, he's a good man.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 3: So I don't know you, I really don't know about
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 3: your ministry, but that's why I brought you.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: It's sit time.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 3: What have you done that has gone on to now
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 3: have a voice for tomorrow? What is powerful enough to
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 3: change your destiny? What seeds are you intentionally sowing? How
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 3: deep is it? How strong is it? As long as
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 3: the earth remains, seed time and harvest shall not cease.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: It is seed time. It is a moment.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 3: But harvest is scattered. Because one same seed can bring
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 3: you harvest rearing.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: Every year.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 3: You don't have to plant mango ten times. You plant once,
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 3: the fruit grows, you pluck mango every year. One same
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 3: seed can keep bringing every year and every year and
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 3: every year and every year. So I do not feel
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 3: it's a waste of time. In fact, at some point...
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 3: I observed that some people invite you for ministration. They
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 3: don't know how to take care of you. One time
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 3: like that myself and Jacob went to minister somewhere. By
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 3: the time it was morning, we killed mosquitoes till I
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 3: felt like vomiting for blood. It was excruciating. It was painful.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 3: No any decent human should actually be in such a place.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 3: But those things don't affect the quality of my message.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 3: Because your action cannot affect my seed.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 2: It can't.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 3: You need to develop a national intelligence that people's action
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 3: will not determine the quality of the seed. It has
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 3: to go into the head. So you hear my teachings?
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 3: You don't know which teachings I preached under serious pain.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 3: They are the same quality.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: Hey, they didn't do me well here, so I'm just
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 2: going to... They can attack you and attack your seed,
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: sow your seed.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 3: Sometimes you have to fight to be able to do
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 3: that quality thing. So I had to make that decision.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 3: No matter where I go, no matter the treatment, no
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 3: matter the outcome, it is the same thing. There will
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 3: be healings, there will be deliverance, there will be emancipation.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 3: You have not really started living until you make this
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 3: kind of decision. Because your seeds will be of hazard.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 3: And imagine when you now get to the future and
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 3: both bad seeds and good seeds are speaking together. Because
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 3: it is seed time and harvest time on seeds. So
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 3: bad seeds too. Somebody just read the message. Because you
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 3: don't know the opportunities that never came your way. Because
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 3: out of emotional influence, you sowed a bad seed. You
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 3: didn't do it the way you should have done it.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 3: And say, I wasn't happy. They've attacked your future. And
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 3: you allowed it.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: So seeds are powerful enough to change the course of
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: your I saw another video.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 3: I can go on and on. It plays, what I'm saying,
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 3: telling you, they play out every day and night, every time.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 3: I saw another video. Okay, look at the case. There's
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 3: this program I watch. It's dragons. People come to pitch
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 3: for investment and all that. So a guy came to
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 3: pitch for investment and then said this and all that.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 3: In fact, they insulted him and said what he was
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 3: asking for was ridiculous and all that.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 2: No, it's not obtainable.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 3: Nobody's going to ever give you such But there was
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 3: a man that was watching online, Richard Branson. Sometimes you
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 3: cry over disappointment because you don't know the power of
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 3: the seed. If it's gone out someday, rain will fall
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 3: at the scent of water. It will spring up again.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 3: He was not watching immediately. He just found the tape.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 3: And he said, this guy has missed business opportunity here.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 3: And he found a way to reach the guy and
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 3: invested in that business.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: The guy became wealthier than all the guys. Then came
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 2: back as one of the judges. Seed time.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 3: Sometimes they didn't really give you what you came for.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 3: As the seed been sown, move on. When water touches it.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 3: But the issue is that sometimes when rain falls, there's
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 3: nothing on the ground for you to touch. You will
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 3: regret inactivity more than you will regret activities. And where
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 3: the devil is waiting for you is inactivity. Don't do anything.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 3: Be too discouraged to move. Be too discouraged to go out.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 3: Be too discouraged to sing. Be too discouraged to... One
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 3: time I was under a teaching and it seemed as
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 3: though everything I was doing was being attacked.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: And I stopped for probably another one year.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 3: Sometimes only God can show you what you have missed
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 3: when you stop what you should do in the days
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 3: of discouragement. I said this, I don't know where I
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 3: said it, I think I said this in Abuja, how
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 3: the apostolic ministry in Nigeria was better than the modern
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 3: apostolic ministry.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: Listen, I can.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 3: Say this to you on all authority. Go and hear
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 3: their contemporary. They were not the only guys God found
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 3: around that season. In fact, many were deeper and stronger
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 3: than them. But they were the ones that understood the
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 3: power of seed. They documented the move, documented the teaching,
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 3: the movement. It was just coming from, it was just
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 3: some guys sitting.
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: On the floor in Zaria. But when it touched the West,
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 2: who is this guy? Who is this guy? Who is
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 2: this guy?
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 3: Sometimes it's not the quality of the men. It's just
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 3: the quality of the seed. And sometimes some men are
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 3: even weightier when they sow the seed than when you
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 3: find them. And in those days, nothing is to show
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 3: for it. But if the seed has gone down, it
• 1:06:25
