5:20
Amen and Amen. God bless you.
5:22
Give Jesus a big hand clap and please be seated.
5:28
It's good to have everyone around.
5:33
The psalmist said. I was glad when they said unto
5:35
me, let us go to the House of the Lord.
5:40
Hallelujah, the Lord will do you good tonight.
5:44
Are you shouting it louder? Amen.
5:49
Just to honor a few men of God in this place.
5:53
We're really honored to have in our midst, Apostle.
5:56
Good heart all the way from Rogic.
5:58
Thank you so much, Sir. It's an honor.
6:00
Thank you. Thank you sincerely.
6:03
And a dear friend all the way from Asaba, Bishop Jude, we
6:07
honor you. Thank you so much for the time.
6:10
Thank you sincerely in the name of Jesus and all the way from
6:14
Canada. Good to see you Sir.
6:16
Pastor Fred Zarmani, let's give him a big, big God bless you,
6:20
Doctor Anointed. The Lord bless you and honor you
6:23
in Jesus name and everyone is greatly recognized.
6:30
It's a wonderful thing to be in the presence of God.
6:32
All our international guests, may the Lord bless you.
6:35
Thank you for coming and the Lord will do us good in Jesus
6:39
name. The psalmist said.
6:42
I was glad when they said unto me, let us go to the House of
6:47
the Lord. As always, this place remains a
6:51
place of revelation, access to light and the corresponding
6:57
grace that empowers you to walk in light of all that you have
7:02
learned and you'll be learning tonight.
7:05
Hallelujah. Praise the name of the Lord.
7:09
Every man of God, every teaching priest is a spiritual chef.
7:16
Hallelujah. The Bible says that we serve and
7:19
we feed God's people according to Jeremiah 315.
7:23
I will give you pastors, shepherds according to my heart,
7:27
and the Bible says that they will feed you with knowledge and
7:31
with understanding. So that is our mandate to feed
7:35
you. Hallelujah and every every good
7:40
cook, every chef has the responsibility of combining the
7:46
right ingredients that make for a balanced meal.
7:50
Hallelujah. Praise the name of the Lord that
7:53
when you are under a good cook, you know that you are enjoying
7:57
the ministry of a good cook by your health.
8:00
Your health is the clearest index that you are eating well.
8:04
Hallelujah, you can eat unto death.
8:07
In fact, the Bible tells us that death can be part of the
8:11
ingredients that can be used to cook.
8:13
The prophets looked at this food and said there is death in the
8:16
pot. In other words, by whatever
8:18
means, as they were adding this ingredients, maybe there was a
8:21
mistake in combination and death was added in the pot and the
8:25
prophet had to do something about it.
8:28
It means that men can consume knowledge onto their destruction
8:32
or they can consume knowledge onto their elevation and they're
8:36
excelling. Hallelujah.
8:39
And I can guarantee you that tonight you are in for a three
8:43
course meal in the name of Jesus Christ.
8:49
So lend me your attention. You will be hearing truths that
8:54
will bless you every week. I make it as a commitment and a
8:58
covenant under God to make sure that I serve His people with
9:03
truths that apply to our lives. The times that we live in and
9:07
empower us to live victorious lives in experience and tonight
9:13
will not be different in Jesus name.
9:16
Redefining the Great Commission. Redefining the Great Commission
9:24
This is a very powerful and thought provoking teaching.
9:27
Tonight we've been on a series of teachings that are aimed at
9:32
building us and bringing us to a point of maturity and stature
9:36
and helping our overall excellence in life.
9:39
The goal of this teaching is to help provide for the body of
9:43
Christ a better and a clearer understanding of the mandate
9:48
that Jesus left with the church. It is, it is important and
9:53
imperative that we understand the mandate that Jesus gave the
9:59
church. There are all kinds of confusion
10:01
as to what the Great Commission exactly is.
10:04
And because our lives should be about this, it is important that
10:08
we understand the message that Jesus left with the church.
10:12
Hallelujah. To start tonight, let's go to
10:15
Matthew Chapter 9. Matthew Chapter 9 from verse 36
10:20
Thank you Jesus. Matthew 936 the Bible says Jesus
10:26
now. But when he saw the multitudes,
10:29
he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted and
10:34
were scattered abroad as sheep, having no shepherd. 2737 Now
10:40
then he said unto. His disciples.
10:43
The harvest is truly plenteous, but the laborers are few.
10:51
Pray ye, therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send
10:55
forth laborers into his harvest. May the Lord bless the reading
11:01
of His Word. In Jesus name.
11:05
So the main issue here that Jesus identified with the
11:08
harvest is not the inability to gather the harvest together.
11:14
The major issue that Jesus pointed out from this scripture
11:19
is the scarcity of laborers. Hallelujah.
11:22
Every soul in the mind of Jesus is already a harvest, not a seed
11:27
growing already a harvest. In the mind of God, every lost
11:32
soul is a harvest ripe already. The problem, according to Jesus,
11:37
is not the inability to reach the souls of the harvest as we
11:41
know, but the scarcity of laborers.
11:45
This is very important. That means that there are many
11:49
people in the field, but there are only very few people that
11:53
God identifies as laborers. Hallelujah.
11:57
He's not talking about the scarcity of men.
12:00
In fact, he's not talking about the scarcity of men around the
12:03
harvest field. He's saying among the many
12:06
people roaming around the harvest field, there are few
12:09
people who can in truth be called laborers, and that the
12:13
more we have laborers, indeed the modern harvest would be a
12:18
reality. So we can have pastors, we can
12:22
have preachers, apostles, great men and women of God,
12:25
missionaries, and all kinds of people.
12:28
But there are a few people that the Bible calls laborers.
12:33
And what empowers a laborer is the understanding of his
12:38
assignment, not just his being around the harvest field.
12:41
You can be around the harvest field, but being proximity to
12:45
the harvest does not make you a laborer.
12:49
Hallelujah, proximity to the harvest does not make you a
12:54
laborer. It is the understanding of your
12:57
mission in the harvest field that makes you a laborer.
13:01
Very quickly, let's look into this very serious subject.
13:05
What is the Great Commission? What exactly did Jesus leave?
13:09
You will be surprised to find out that there are preachers,
13:13
men and women of God. They are missionaries who will
13:16
not be able to scripturally articulate for you what the
13:20
Bible calls the Great Commission or what we call the Bible
13:24
doesn't call it that way. It is a Commission is a mandate,
13:27
but what we have come to know as the Great Commission, the Great
13:33
Commission, generally speaking, rests upon 3 scriptures.
13:36
There are three scriptures, and all those scriptures came as a
13:40
result of conversations that Jesus himself had.
13:44
The Great Commission is a mandate that came directly from
13:48
Jesus. So we'll look at 3 scriptures.
13:51
This already is a correction because for many people, when
13:55
they examine the subject of the Great Commission, they just pick
13:58
any of these three Scriptures. The Scriptures have to be put
14:02
together to understand the full scope of the Great Commission.
14:06
Are we together #1 Mark 16, please.
14:11
Mark 16 and verse 15. We're reading from 15 to 20.
14:15
Mark 1615 to 20. And he said unto them, that he
14:20
been Jesus. Go ye into all the world.
14:23
Take notes now, and preach the gospel to every creature.
14:28
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved, but he
14:32
that believeth not shall be damned. 17 It says, And this
14:36
sign shall follow them that believe in my name.
14:39
They shall cast out devils, they shall speak with new tongues,
14:43
they shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing,
14:47
it shall not hurt them. They shall lay hands on the
14:50
sick, and they shall recover. So then, after the Lord had
14:55
spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat
14:59
on the right hand of God. The last verse.
15:02
And they went forth and preached everywhere in obedience, the
15:07
Lord walking with them and confirming the Word with signs
15:12
following. Amen.
15:14
Scripture #2 Matthew chapter 28, please.
15:18
From verse 18 to 20, if you must understand the Great Commission,
15:24
then we must examine the three foundational scriptures that
15:28
capture the mandate, the instruction that Jesus gave to
15:34
his disciples that apply to all believers today.
15:37
And Jesus came and speak unto them, saying all power, the word
15:42
power. There's the word exusia.
15:45
It should be authority. All authority is given unto me
15:49
in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore.
15:53
Now we see another account. Go ye therefore and.
15:59
Teach all. Nations, Mark's account says,
16:02
preach the gospel to every creature.
16:05
Matthew is now telling us, teach all nations, baptizing them in
16:10
the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
16:14
20 teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have
16:19
commanded you, and once you do this low, I am with you all way,
16:25
even to the end of the world. Amen.
16:29
Are you ready for the third scripture?
16:30
Acts chapter one, please, from verse 6, reading down to 11.
16:35
These are the three foundational scriptures upon which the
16:39
mandate of the Great Commission rests.
16:41
When they therefore will come together, they acts of him,
16:45
saying, Lord, will thou at this time restore again the Kingdom
16:49
of Israel? And he said unto them, It is not
16:52
for you to know the times or the seasons which the Father has put
16:56
in his own power. 8 But ye shall receive power after that.
17:00
The Holy Ghost is come on you, upon you, and ye shall be
17:04
witnesses unto me, both in Jerusalem, in all Judea, in
17:10
Samaria, and onto the uttermost part of the earth.
17:13
Verse 9. And when he had spoken these
17:16
things while they beheld him, he was taken up, and a cloud
17:21
received him out of their sight. Verse 10.
17:24
And while they looked steadfastly towards heaven, as
17:28
he went up, behold, 2 men stood by them in white apparel, which
17:33
also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into
17:37
heaven? This same Jesus which is taken
17:40
up from you into heaven shall so.
17:43
Come. In like manner, as you have seen
17:45
him go into heaven, praise the name of the Lord.
17:49
So 3 scriptures, Mark's account, Matthew's account, and now the
17:54
account that the book of Acts gives us.
17:57
All of these accounts are pieces together that when brought with
18:02
understanding, help us understand the Great Commission.
18:05
Please write What is the Great Commission?
18:09
The Great Commission is a mandate given by Jesus.
18:16
The Great Commission is a mandate given by Jesus to his
18:23
disciples, and now it extends to all believers.
18:28
A mandate given by Jesus to his disciples and now to all
18:32
believers to reach the entire globe with the gospel of
18:37
salvation. I'll take it again.
18:40
The Great Commission is a mandate given by Jesus to the
18:44
disciples then and now. It extends to all believers to
18:48
reach the entire globe with the gospel of salvation and then to
18:55
bring nations to the knowledge of the truth through
19:00
discipleship. Say long definition, but you
19:03
must write all of it #1 to reach the entire globe with the gospel
19:09
of salvation. You add a coma there to bring
19:13
nations to the knowledge of the truth through discipleship.
19:20
And then finally to consequently, I wrote here,
19:25
bring territorial and societal transformation, a mandate given
19:32
by Jesus to the disciples and now all believers to #1 reach
19:37
the entire globe with the gospel of salvation, to bring nations
19:44
to the knowledge of the truth through discipleship, and then
19:49
to consequently bring territorial and societal
19:54
transformation. Hallelujah, you have that down.
19:58
So you see that if you want to really understand the Great
20:02
Commission, the mandates that Jesus left with the church, you
20:06
will if you examine. Max account alone, it gives you
20:11
1 dimension and you will not fully accomplish the Great
20:15
Commission. If you look at Matthew's account
20:18
alone, it brings a piece of the truth.
20:21
You see there is only one thing greater than the truth, the
20:25
whole truth. Are we together now?
20:28
Yes, if you have a piece of the truth and you do not have the
20:32
whole truth, your adventure will be lopsided.
20:36
It will not be holistic. And now in Acts chapter 1, we
20:39
see the last piece. He says you are witnesses and
20:44
that your witness should reach Judea, Samaria, Judea, Jerusalem
20:50
and to the uttermost. Part of the Earth.
20:53
And all these were statements that Jesus himself made.
20:56
So we're not just saying these are statements that one prophet
20:59
made somewhere. Jesus himself made the statement
21:02
in Mark, the statement in Matthew, the statement in the
21:05
book of Acts. Immediately we see that there
21:09
are three components to the mandate that Jesus left with the
21:13
church. This will be my discussion
21:15
tonight. There are three components to
21:18
what we call the Great Commission, 3 components to the
21:22
mandate that Jesus left with the church.
21:25
Let's discuss them now. Number one, the first component
21:28
in the Great Commission, as we see is world evangelization.
21:33
Please write Mark, Mark 1615 again.
21:36
Please give it to us. World evangelization is the
21:40
first component as far as the mandates, the Great Commission
21:44
that Jesus left with the church's concern.
21:47
And he said unto them, Please look up, Go ye into all the
21:53
world and preach the gospel to every creature.
21:58
Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every
22:03
creature. Hallelujah.
22:05
So we are given the mandate to preach the gospel.
22:08
Preach the gospel. What we should do is very clear.
22:12
Preach. To preach means to declare.
22:15
To preach means to proclaim. To preach means to announce.
22:19
To preach means to bring to your awareness.
22:24
And the content of our preaching is the gospel.
22:27
When it has to do with the gospel, the message is ever the
22:32
same. Gospel, the gospel of salvation.
22:37
Hallelujah, and I have taught us here.
22:40
But for this teaching, let me repeat it again in the clearest
22:44
terms. As much as I want us to be deep
22:47
in our understanding of the Kingdom, it is important that we
22:51
must have a basic foundational knowledge of the gospel of
22:55
salvation. What we call the Gospel or the
22:59
Gospel of salvation is a revelation of the Father's love
23:05
revealed in and through the substitutionary sacrifice of
23:09
Jesus Christ. Are we together, man and
23:11
creation being the object of that sacrifice to the end?
23:16
That any man who believes, according to Scripture, that we
23:19
are saved, translated from the Kingdom of darkness into the
23:23
Kingdom of His dear Son. This was the mission of Jesus
23:27
when He came to die. He came to die to reconcile us.
23:31
The Bible says through the shedding of blood, are we
23:34
together now? So it's important for us to
23:36
understand that the first component that is captured in
23:40
the Great Commission, the mandate that Jesus left with the
23:42
church, is world evangelization. And when Jesus was speaking
23:49
about the harvest, he said, pray ye the Lord of the harvest, the
23:54
Lord of the harvest, the word Lord there means the owner, the
23:58
supervisor, that is the Holy Spirit.
24:01
He's the one who was left with the church.
24:03
Are we together that he may send laborers so that there can be an
24:09
acceleration as far as the harvest is concerned?
24:14
Now I want to point out something here.
24:15
Give us Mark 16 again. I want you to look very
24:20
carefully at this Scripture. The instruction that Jesus gave
24:26
as far as world evangelization is concerned is very clear.
24:30
He says go ye. The word go ye there means that
24:34
He expects action. Go ye means be strategic.
24:38
Go ye means be prepared to take action.
24:41
It is not a passive word. It does not demand carelessness
24:45
or laxity. Go ye means there has to be
24:48
energy, passion that is invested into this instruction.
24:53
The location is all the world. That means there is nowhere
24:57
across the globe that should be spared as a mission field.
25:01
In the mind of Jesus everywhere on earth qualifies to be called
25:07
the mission field, no matter how dangerous, no matter how
25:11
peaceful. In the mind of Jesus everywhere,
25:15
the entire line mass of earth where men can be found qualifies
25:20
to be called a harvest or mission field.
25:23
So go ye all the world, and then the instruction is to preach.
25:28
I told you earlier to preach means to declare, to proclaim,
25:32
to bring to your awareness. Then he told us the content, The
25:37
content of our preaching is the gospel.
25:40
But notice he never told us how He told us what to do.
25:46
Go ye what to preach the gospel? Who to preach to every creature
25:53
where the entire world. But he left the matter of
25:57
strategy. Why?
25:59
Because we will need to adjust. He allowed the strategy to be
26:02
flexible. Because we will need to reinvent
26:05
strategies. The mission remains the same.
26:08
Go ye, the mission field remains the same.
26:11
All ye the world and the message is to preach the gospel to every
26:17
creature. But how we will do it?
26:20
He left it to the creativity of the times.
26:24
Are we together? Yes, that the way the gospel was
26:27
preached in the 70s, eighties, 90s and even as far back as 1020
26:32
years ago. Because of the changing times
26:35
and the reality in our world today, there has to be
26:38
intelligence invested to world evangelization.
26:43
God has provided us through technology, for instance, very
26:47
effective tools of getting the message.
26:49
Nobody would have imagined that through technology from one
26:53
point, you can be communicating the gospel to literally
26:57
everybody across the. Globe.
27:00
Hallelujah. We must develop effective end
27:04
time strategies. I wrote here for the task of
27:07
world evangelization. I submit to you that the rate at
27:12
which evangelism is happening globally speaking is very slow
27:17
compared to God's expectation and with respect to the time we
27:22
have left. There has to be intelligence
27:25
outsourced from the Spirit, more effective methods, One-on-one
27:30
evangelism, as powerful as it is, will only end us in
27:33
frustration. A few statistics for your
27:35
understanding. We have about 8 billion people
27:39
approximately, last I checked, on Earth today.
27:42
And Christianity, as we know that includes everything that is
27:46
called Christianity, is about 2.8 billion people.
27:51
So we have 2.8 billion practicing Christians who are
27:56
alive today, statistically speaking, we together.
27:59
And if it took that long to have this kind of harvest, and how
28:04
many hundreds and thousands of years will it take to be able to
28:07
cover the globe with the message?
28:09
It then means there has to be an intelligent idea.
28:13
There are people who have come up for.
28:15
Instance from a standpoint of technology.
28:18
Did you know that the amount of people who subscribe to many of
28:22
the apps and some of the technological products we have
28:25
on earth are way more than 2.5 billion?
28:28
That means. Human beings have invented an
28:31
idea that is more in, is more productive than the gospel
28:37
because the world received their ideas, and all those ideas are
28:41
not more than 20 years old. Are we together 20 years ago?
28:47
Many of the social media platforms we have today, we're
28:50
not there or we're not the way they are now.
28:53
That means that the believer in approaching the subject of world
28:57
evangelization, understanding the message.
29:00
Is not enough. Our next assignment must be to
29:03
work in partnership with the Lord of the Harvest to come up
29:06
with effective end time strategies of ensuring and
29:11
insisting that the lost get the message.
29:15
Whether they make they they respond positively to the
29:19
message or not is up to them, but that we have a mandate by
29:23
God to deploy every scriptural means to get the message with
29:28
clarity and unambiguity to the lost.
29:33
Are we together? This is the mandate Jesus gave
29:36
us. That means if you are alive
29:39
today as a believer and your life is not about this, as far
29:44
as God is concerned, you are not part of His program.
29:48
World evangelization is not a mandate for evangelists and
29:52
missionaries in the mission field.
29:54
World evangelization is every believers mandate.
29:57
Did you listen? If you ever say you love Jesus
30:01
or you love a man, you would want to listen to His final
30:04
words and He to it. And make sure you plunge your.
30:08
Life into anything that makes that mandate come to pass the
30:11
final words of men, even in our world today, are precious we
30:15
keep them before a man transits in glory we listen carefully for
30:19
the final words, the. Expressions and we take it
30:22
serious, and Jesus Christ before his transition to be seated at
30:28
the right hand of the Father, His emphasis.
30:31
Was the Great Commission, and I'm saying that the first
30:35
dimension, the first component is world evangelization.
30:39
Please look up. You are a believer today because
30:43
you got saved. Our dear sister, the lady who
30:45
was here. Giving her testimony someone
30:50
took responsibility and preach Jesus to her and give that young
30:55
lady a chance to now bring order to her life.
30:59
It is amazing how many believers around us never have an
31:04
opportunity to hear the gospel because subliminally believers
31:08
have been programmed to downplay the relevance of the gospel and
31:13
believe that it is for people in the village who most likely do
31:16
not have clothes to wear. Are we together?
31:18
And there are many people. The moment we have some kind of
31:21
superior orientation, we believe that we are not.
31:24
The gospel is not necessary. So in our minds we believe that
31:28
the gospel is a product to the poor man or somebody in the
31:32
rural area. And that is wonderful.
31:35
But you will be surprised to know that people in the rural
31:38
area are at least a lot more spiritual than modern.
31:41
People. They are closer to spirituality,
31:44
whether by witchcraft or whatever.
31:47
Their faith is purest in the rural areas because they have no
31:51
options. Healthcare is almost zero, a lot
31:54
of things. And then they survive in health
31:56
because they have learned how to combine leaves plus a spirit
32:00
plus other things to remain alive.
32:03
Are we learning now? This is very important.
32:07
When Jesus comes and as he begins to reward men, the Bible
32:11
clearly tells us that the reward of the believer is going to be
32:15
with respect to the Great Commission.
32:17
This is very interesting. The standard for our rewards are
32:21
not left in the dark that our rewards when making or being
32:26
with Jesus, as we know is just one aspect of it, but that there
32:30
are rewards in heaven and that those rewards will be according
32:35
to our passion and our drive as far as fulfilling the Great
32:40
Commission is concerned. There are many aspects to the
32:45
world, to world evangelization, those who are sent forth.
32:50
I remember growing up, sometimes you would you would attend, you
32:54
know, certain programs, crusades, and they would ask
32:58
people how many of you are ready to dedicate your life and go to
33:01
the mission field. And sometimes you see people
33:03
just come out crying and they meant what they were doing as
33:06
they came out because some of them had to shut down
33:08
everything. Now, as much as we love the
33:11
missionaries who are doing their all, I want you to know that
33:15
world evangelization, let me repeat for your understanding.
33:19
Part of the responsibilities of any believer in Christ is to be
33:25
an active contributor towards the global harvest.
33:32
It is not an option. It has nothing to do with being
33:36
called into the fivefold ministry or not.
33:38
And you know, I say this with every sense of sadness.
33:42
We pride ourselves. Even in ministry, using mundane
33:46
parameters of success in the mind of God, no matter who you
33:51
are and no matter what you do if it does not.
33:54
Translate to the conversion of souls.
33:57
You are not much in the Kingdom. That is the truth.
33:59
It's as simple as that. Never see a soul winner and
34:03
believe that soul winner is wasting time.
34:05
The soul winner cannot preach, but if he can bring people to
34:08
Jesus, he is great in the Kingdom.
34:11
It's important for us to redefine our success by superior
34:15
spiritual references. There are many, many people as
34:21
believers, even as men of God. In a whole year you can
34:25
literally count by hand the number of people who are saved.
34:29
Is a waste of platform is a waste of grace 2.6.
34:35
Billion professing Christians, this is not an advocacy of an
34:39
evangelist. This is a cry that is in the
34:41
heart of God. And listen, let me tell you the
34:43
truth. The Bible says I shall not die.
34:46
We fear that a lot. But the Bible says that your
34:48
longevity in the Kingdom, among many other factors, is connected
34:53
to your participating in the Great Commission.
34:56
I shall not die, but. Live and declare.
35:00
In other words, if your life is not actively contributing, as
35:04
far as the Great Commission is concerned, there is no
35:07
justification for your longevity.
35:13
Are we stick together? Power was given to the disciples
35:18
with respect to Great Commission, the Great
35:20
Commission, influence with respect to the Great Commission.
35:23
Today we desire power, prosperity, fame, but in
35:28
isolation to the Great Commission.
35:31
All of the embracings that come from God to the believer are
35:35
supposed to be tools that will be used eventually for the
35:40
harvest. So there are many people praying
35:42
for the grace for miracles, signs and wonders, and it is
35:45
absolutely not connected to the Great Commission.
35:49
No wonder those you read about in the Bible and those you read
35:53
about. You know, in modern history we
35:55
call them God's generals the reason why we do not see the
35:59
kind of power and manifestation of the spirit in their lives was
36:03
that we saw in their lives was because their.
36:05
Attention was not on power. Their attention was not on the
36:09
miraculous. Their attention.
36:11
Was on fulfilling the Great Commission and whilst they went
36:15
the Bible says the Lord walking with them confirming the word
36:19
with signs following in Acts chapter 8 when you read from
36:23
verse. Five, the Bible speaking about
36:25
Philip, said that Philip went down to Samaria and preached
36:29
Christ in obedience to the mandate.
36:32
He preached Christ as soon as he got to Samaria.
36:35
There was no other business. Listen, these guys were so
36:38
intoxicated by this assignment. If they.
36:41
Found themselves in a city, whether they were free or in
36:46
chains. Their their prayer point was not
36:48
freedom from captivity. Their prayer point was how do I?
36:52
Everybody was a harvest to them. Everybody.
36:56
If they were in the prison, it was an opportunity for
36:59
everybody. The jailer, the prisoners,
37:02
everybody. His family were harvest.
37:06
They saw a damn cell rejoicing, prophesying by the spirit of
37:09
divination a harvest. They were flogged and taken to
37:13
prison. They were harvest.
37:15
Conscious, if you're together, say Amen.
37:20
They never allowed any opportunity to be wasted.
37:23
You make a mistake of bringing Paul before any of the council.
37:28
Give him 5 minutes to open his mouth and you will almost be
37:31
converted. He he coordinated his
37:37
intelligence, his energy. When Paul was in prison, you
37:41
would think he should be frustrated.
37:42
He's thinking, OK, if I were free now, I would have been
37:46
reaching these people. Let me at least write a letter,
37:49
a letter to this church. I hope you're still well
37:51
behaved. I'm coming out soon and I assure
37:53
you, when I come out, I'm coming straight to you.
37:55
If you come out of prison, wouldn't you run away?
38:00
Go and read your Bible. The mandate that Jesus gave us
38:07
requires a level of aggression. This is the reason why when you
38:12
love your life, the Bible says you will lose it.
38:15
You have to love Him more than your life, that your life is all
38:19
about the Great Commission. Today people desire fame.
38:24
Today people desire to be celebrities.
38:26
Respectfully speaking, even as men of God, we desire elevated
38:30
platforms, and you will be surprised that in all of that
38:34
desire. The purposes of the Kingdom,
38:36
even world evangelization, is the least of our concerns.
38:40
Great men like David Yongicho. And while these men had the
38:45
opportunity to serve the purposes of God in their
38:47
lifetime, the reason why they modeled such level of increase,
38:51
such level of excellence in church growth was because at the
38:55
back of their desire was world evangelization, not fame.
39:02
Same with fathers in the faith like Baba Deboi.
39:06
I remember when he clocked 80. His mandate was to be able to
39:12
win. I can't remember how many, how
39:15
many about 8 million souls with the remaining time he has.
39:19
Can you imagine you ask a man what do you want?
39:21
And anything he says will almost become an instruction for you.
39:25
And yet he says, all I want is 8 million souls.
39:28
That's what brought about the light up campaign globally that
39:33
within the time I remember one time, you know, just
39:36
respectfully speaking, I was speaking to one of his people
39:39
and I said I hope you people get to rest.
39:42
Please tell you know that he should take some time to rest
39:45
and he said no, he will rest when he gets to heaven.
39:47
As far as the earth is concerned, I must walk the works
39:51
of him. That sent me.
39:53
This is a man in his 80s and there are many, many young
39:56
people jumping up and down crying and say I want a double
39:58
portion of his grace without a double portion of the desire.
40:03
World evangelization, please hear me.
40:06
No matter how sophisticated you as far as Revelation is
40:09
concerned, if your life does not directly translate to soul
40:13
winning, effective soul winning. When it has to do with soul
40:18
winning, numbers matter. When it has to do with
40:22
discipleship, numbers may not matter.
40:25
But ladies and gentlemen, soul winning is 1 soul.
40:28
At a time, if you win 100 souls versus 10 souls, 100 souls are
40:33
better by far. But when it has to do with
40:36
discipleship, you can have 5000 members versus 20 members and
40:41
you are dealing with 20 more effective people.
40:44
I repeat, in soul winning numbers matter.
40:50
That means our lives must be all about using every scriptural
40:54
mechanism to bring people to Jesus.
40:58
Hallelujah, to bring people to Jesus.
41:03
One time I was told that that the Geo was preaching among
41:06
pastors. It was a pastors conference
41:08
also. And when he was done preaching,
41:11
was it his leaders or thereabouts?
41:12
Can't remember the story exactly.
41:14
Then he made an altar call. These are people he trained, but
41:17
there's no taking chances. Who knows?
41:24
May God restore our passion for souls.
41:27
Hallelujah. May God restore our passion for
41:30
souls. May God increase our passion to
41:33
be greater than our desire for power.
41:35
May God increase our passion for world evangelization to be
41:39
greater than our passion for money and fame and all of these
41:43
things. I am telling you that all that
41:45
we seek only finds its value when it is connected to purpose,
41:49
in this case world evangelization.
41:52
This is the first component. So if a man fails by any earthly
41:57
standard in life and you spend your life bringing many to
42:01
Jesus, the Bible tells us in Daniel chapter 12 and verse 3,
42:05
please give it to us. It says day that be wise shall
42:08
shine as the brightness of the firmament, and day that turn
42:12
many to righteousness as the stars forever.
42:15
And. Ever.
42:18
Forever and ever, forever and ever.
42:26
We have converted Soul Winning, respectfully speaking, and
42:31
focused it largely as a tool for church growth rather than world
42:35
evangelization. As sincere as that is, there
42:39
needs to be an adjustment to our understanding.
42:42
The purpose of Soul Winning is not more members in church.
42:46
The purpose of Soul Winning is to see that the message the
42:49
gospel gets to the lost. Are we together now?
42:53
Yes, and everyone including those hearing me now, all The
42:57
Who are connected across the globe, it is your business.
43:01
Don't just be around the harvest field.
43:03
You are not a laborer because you are looking at the field.
43:06
You are not a laborer because you are near the field.
43:08
You are a laborer to the degree to which you are actively
43:12
participating in the harvest. The second component very.
43:18
Quickly, please write The second component of the mandate that
43:24
Jesus left with the church is called discipleship.
43:27
Please write it down. Discipleship.
43:30
The second component, discipleship, Matthew 28 from
43:34
verse 18 to 20 Matthew 28 from verse 18 to 20 And Jesus came
43:40
and speak unto them, saying, all authority in heaven is given to
43:44
me in heaven and earth. 19 go ye therefore now watch this now and
43:50
teach all nations. Baptizing them in the name of
43:54
the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. 20 Teaching them
44:00
to observe whatsoever I have commanded you, and while you are
44:04
about the business of teaching and guiding them to observe, I
44:10
am with you all. Way.
44:11
To the ends of the earth. The second component of this
44:16
Monday Jesus gave us the Great Commission, is discipleship.
44:22
What is discipleship? The mentorship of believers to
44:26
attain maturity and stature through doctrine.
44:30
The mentorship of believers to attain unto maturity and stature
44:37
through doctrine. This is what the Bible calls
44:40
discipleships, the mentorship of believers, those who are now.
44:46
Saved. To attain unto maturity and
44:49
stature. Through.
44:51
Doctrine Another definition of discipleship.
44:56
Helping believers understand the principles of the Kingdom.
45:00
Helping believers understand the principles of the Kingdom.
45:07
Through the teaching ministry please write helping believers
45:11
understand the principles of the Kingdom, the ways of God through
45:15
the teaching ministry, so we. See that the first component of
45:20
the Great Commission has to do with preaching the gospel.
45:23
The second component has to do with maturing believers,
45:28
mentoring them to maturity and stature through doctrine.
45:35
The end product I wrote here of discipleship is personal
45:40
transformation and maturity. The end product of discipleship,
45:45
whatever you call discipleship, you know, whether it is biblical
45:50
discipleship, if it leads to personal transformation and
45:55
maturity, that means when you submit believers to anybody of
45:59
truth whatsoever for that matter, if it does not translate
46:03
to personal transformation and maturity, it is not biblical
46:08
discipleship. Are we learning?
46:14
So component #1 world evangelization.
46:18
Component #2 is discipleship. Now, do you know that component
46:24
#2 is the primary reason for the physical convergence of
46:29
believers? What you call church, the
46:31
ecclesia as a local assembly, is supposed to be an authorized
46:36
platform where believers converge consistently.
46:40
Are we together? There has to be a central point
46:43
of convergence so that believers are mentored methodically, line
46:49
upon line, precept upon precept. In Acts 242, the Bible says.
46:54
They continued steadfastly in the Apostles doctrine, in
46:58
fellowship, in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
47:04
So they had a place of convergence consistently.
47:08
The purpose of church is not just to tie men who are loyal to
47:13
one man of God. Respectfully speaking, no church
47:16
is greater than that. It is supposed to be a place of
47:19
convergence. Are we together where believers
47:21
come and they are mentored to be effective witnesses, effective
47:27
communicators of the gospel and infected people to live their
47:31
lives effectively and then to be agents of transformation as far
47:36
as the program of God is concerned?
47:41
Many aspects of the Great Commission focus.
47:44
On world evangelization and we ignore discipleship.
47:48
This is the reason why when you get your harvest from the farm,
47:52
please look up. I've said it here many times.
47:55
Imagine with me that you go to the farm and you harvest, say,
47:58
tomato or yam or whatever it is, and you just keep it in the
48:02
field there and you do not. Take it into processes to
48:05
package it. What begins to happen to it?
48:07
It begins to decay. This is the challenge we have in
48:12
the body of Christ. So we have several people who
48:14
have encountered Jesus genuinely, but because of the
48:18
absence of growth and maturity, some of them even attend on to
48:22
leadership positions just because of longevity of their
48:26
stay, not using the index of transformation and maturity.
48:30
So if you have, respectfully speaking, a pastor or a leader
48:34
or a head of department who now has influence to perform
48:38
functions within the church or the program of God, and that
48:42
person has not been disciple, He will only mentor people from the
48:46
lens of his or her limitations. Are we together?
48:51
Discipleship is very important. And now I know that when we talk
48:55
about discipleship, it means many things to many people.
48:58
I'm talking about biblical discipleship.
49:02
The end of discipleship is not slavery and subjugation.
49:06
The end of discipleship is liberty by communication of
49:10
doctrine. I told you, you know it is
49:13
biblical discipleship if at the end of it there is personal
49:17
transformation and there is maturity.
49:20
So here is a believer who is a product of world evangelization.
49:24
Now he has come to Jesus Christ and he's now allotted by grace.
49:29
Remember there is one who is called the.
49:31
Lord of the harvest, and he's the one who allots the souls to
49:35
the various platforms. All that you have given me,
49:39
Jesus said. I have kept nobody has the power
49:42
to bring members to himself. It is God that allocates people
49:46
based on many factors, including the faithfulness and the
49:50
preparedness of the teaching priests.
49:53
Are we together now? Yes.
49:56
So when God brings people to Kolonia and God brings people to
50:02
any ministry, He's empowering you to teach them and to mentor
50:07
them, to show them the ways of God is the reason why, as much
50:12
as possible, the central focus in every church activity.
50:17
As. Much as possible must be the
50:19
teaching of the. World.
50:22
Now, respectfully speaking, with all due respect, sometimes we
50:25
need to manage, except for special occasions I understand,
50:28
but the centrality of a Church activity it should be.
50:33
Centered around platforms that impact understanding.
50:39
If you have, for instance, a church service of three hours
50:42
and it is largely spent doing a lot of things that do not
50:45
translate to teaching, then justice is not being done to the
50:50
mentoring and the maturity of the people because the truth is
50:54
it takes time to learn the ways of God.
50:57
Are we together? Papa Hagen and many of the
51:01
blessed memory. The reason why their products
51:03
were solid people was because they spent time teaching.
51:08
They spent time imparting knowledge.
51:11
Sometimes they would have meetings for days and they were
51:14
largely ward based meetings. Look at Jesus, the ratio of his
51:19
teaching ministry to. Impartation 3 1/2 years to one
51:22
day, the moment the disciples. Who are with?
51:27
Him. All right, gentlemen, sit down.
51:29
Occasionally a crowd will come and he.
51:31
Turns it into a. Crusade.
51:33
And when he's done healing and doing all of that, go home.
51:37
Then he sits with the disciples and says let's continue.
51:40
That was all he did for 3 1/2 years and then he said now that
51:43
you know tarry until you be empowered.
51:46
Look at the product of Jesus mentorship.
51:48
You want to know how well Jesus performed go to Acts chapter 2
51:52
and verse one. When the Holy Ghost came, Peter
51:54
said no, we are not in ignorance.
51:56
He said this is that and this guy began.
51:58
That was his first official sermon.
52:03
From a student in training to now an apostle of the Lord Jesus
52:06
Christ and he defended the faith with intelligence.
52:10
This guy said, look at his sentences of Scripture.
52:13
He was preaching the gospel. He started from David.
52:16
He's now went to Joel, now to Psalms.
52:19
And he ended his sermon by saying this same Jesus whom you
52:21
have crucified has today been exalted as Lord and Christ who
52:26
will not be caught to the heart. After that sermon, the Bible
52:29
says they were caught to the heart.
52:30
And they said, men and brethren, what do we do?
52:33
And he said, repent for the remission of your sins,
52:36
Hallelujah, and then you shall receive this promise, for the
52:39
promise is unto you and to your children, and so on and so
52:42
forth. Many believers today, the
52:45
quality of believers that we have, respectfully speaking in
52:49
the body of Christ, is largely a product of poor or imbalanced
52:55
mentorship. So the lopsidedness in the
52:58
quality of believers that are being produced.
53:01
You can know the quality of discipleship within any
53:05
predefined territory by random sampling believers and testing
53:10
their level of maturity and their level of transformation
53:13
against factors like prayer, how they respond to challenges,
53:18
their orientation about material wealth with respect to God's
53:21
eternal standpoint. Are we together?
53:23
All of these indices are parameters that you can use to
53:27
literally. Gauge the maturity.
53:30
Level of a believer, if that means that we have a
53:35
responsibility as believers, and especially as those who have
53:39
been privileged to serve at the altar, to ensure that we take
53:44
the issue of discipleship very seriously.
53:47
To methodically grow and build believers until they attain a
53:52
state of transformation and maturity.
53:55
I have told us here that the value of empowerment upon a
53:58
believer is when the anointing comes upon a mind that is.
54:02
Transformed. Now notice the Gospel deals
54:09
essentially with the heart or the spirit of men.
54:13
Transformation by the teaching ministry deals essentially with
54:16
the mind. The Great Commission is
54:19
essentially a battle for the hearts and the minds of men.
54:24
The hearts and the minds of men. The hearts and the minds of men.
54:29
Hallelujah. When Jesus walked upon the
54:31
earth, His emphasis was on the minds and the hearts of men.
54:37
Say discipleship one more time. Please shout to say
54:40
discipleship. And it is everybody's business
54:45
when a father as a priest takes responsibility as a disciple.
54:50
To mentor and teach the children and all who are within your
54:54
care. The quality of the product that
54:57
comes from your house will be added to the school that the
55:00
children go to. Am I right on that?
55:01
Now you make the job easy for teachers because well behaved
55:05
students are already on their way.
55:07
The the well behaved children will become well behaved
55:10
students in addition to the mentorship that happens within
55:13
the school. You will now begin to produce
55:16
products that can influence their peers positively.
55:20
You've heard me say every national problem was eventually
55:25
a regional problem. Eventually, or at the start, a
55:29
family problem that was a product of carelessness and
55:33
neglect. Every armed robber came from a
55:36
home, everyone disturbing society came from a home, and
55:41
everyone today who is a joy to every society came from a home.
55:44
A home there does not just mean a biological place.
55:47
Even the church is a home. Hallelujah, let me tell you the
55:51
truth. The major problem I will tell
55:54
you that has affected the quality of believers in Nigeria,
55:58
in Africa and globally. So is the ill.
56:02
Health. Or the imbalance of
56:05
discipleship, the the lapse in understanding and approach as
56:10
far as discipleship is concerned.
56:13
You cannot raise mighty men by communicating substandard
56:18
spiritual truths. It does not happen that way.
56:21
Ordinary men came to David in The Cave of Adulam, and the
56:24
Bible says he mentored them and produced men of power, that he
56:28
called them the men of. David, this men were so
56:31
dexterous and powerful. These are the kinds of men, the
56:36
kinds of men that God is looking for in this end time.
56:40
And it is going to be through the instrumentality of
56:43
discipleship. You're sitting under this
56:46
teaching grace now you're learning the ways of God.
56:48
When? Life.
56:49
When life comes to you, in whatever form it comes, it is on
56:53
the strength of the truth that you know that you are able to
56:56
stand. Am I right on that?
56:59
If you have been taught, for instance, that challenges are
57:01
not unusual for the believer, when you find out that you are
57:04
confronting challenges, you will not begin to make statements
57:07
like God, where are you? Rather, you will find out what
57:10
does the Bible say should be the believer's approach and attitude
57:14
in the midst of challenges. The Lord is my light and my
57:17
salvation. Of whom shall I be afraid of?
57:19
I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer
57:22
and the supply of the Spirit of Christ Jesus.
57:25
Is any man afflicted? Let him pray.
57:27
So when as a matured believer, properly mentored in the face of
57:32
challenges, while one person is languishing and shouting for
57:35
you, as a believer, there has been a scriptural mindset that
57:39
you have been. Given are we together?
57:41
Yes. When you lose a loved one, if
57:46
you have been properly mentored, part of the mentorship you
57:49
should have received is how to manage people who transit in
57:52
glory. Because Paul, in mentoring the
57:55
church, he let us know that when people die in Christ, they are
57:58
not dead. They sleep.
58:00
And so in the midst of the pain that comes by being a human
58:03
being, you are comforted by the fact that to be absent in the
58:06
body is to be present with the Lord.
58:08
Maturity has given you the fortitude to stand.
58:12
Are we together now Yes, if you are in a region where you are
58:15
facing tribulation and persecution in the office
58:19
instead of bending to compromise because of proper discipleship.
58:24
You know the Bible says counted all joy my brethren, when you
58:27
face diverse persecutions, knowing this, that the trying of
58:31
your faith work at patients on the strength of that maturity,
58:35
you can stand. Even if you stand alone, Jesus
58:37
said in this world you will have tribulation, but be of good
58:40
share. I have overcome the world.
58:43
So you may cry, but you still stand for righteousness.
58:46
That is the product of mentorship, not evangelism.
58:51
Most believers shaken in the face of everything because
58:54
capacity has not been built through discipleship.
58:58
It says if you turn aside in the day of battle, it is that your
59:01
strength is small. Are we together?
59:04
If you have been taught the purpose of wealth when God
59:07
blesses you, it does not bring pride because mentorship has
59:11
balanced your understanding that everything in the Kingdom finds.
59:14
Its relevance as it is connected to purpose.
59:17
So you can be a billionaire and yet you can serve in the House
59:20
of God with humility, because you know that a man can receive
59:23
nothing except it is given to him.
59:26
And you see now your life is brought to order because of
59:29
discipleship and maturity. How about the place of
59:32
character? Now you learn that the grace and
59:35
anointing can lift you, but it takes character to remain there.
59:39
My little children, he says, of whom I travel until Christ be
59:43
formed in you. So when you come with your loss
59:46
and anger and whatever, you are not ashamed, you come.
59:49
Before the Lord, like a treasured floor, knowing that in
59:52
His presence there is the washing of the water by the
59:56
Word. Are we blessed?
1:00:03
Discipleship is the only hope for the maturity of the
1:00:06
believer, methodically mentoring believers.
1:00:10
And holistically so. I have always been an advocate
1:00:15
of balanced mentorship and maturity.
1:00:18
So your spiritual life is covered.
1:00:21
Your life as far as relating with the cosmos is covered.
1:00:25
Intelligence that translates to the quality of your life is
1:00:28
covered. Are we together?
1:00:30
No aspect of your life is left without you receiving wholesome
1:00:34
teaching. When I'm teaching you on
1:00:36
finance, I will teach it as if there is nothing else to teach.
1:00:39
When I'm teaching on soul winning, I will teach as if
1:00:42
there is nothing else to teach, because it is line upon line,
1:00:45
precept upon precept. Here a little, there a little.
1:00:50
When you are teaching on the gift of the Spirit, you help the
1:00:53
believer to understand and appreciate that there is such a
1:00:56
reality as the gift of the Spirit, but then that the gift
1:01:00
of the Spirit only profits the body when it is done decently
1:01:04
and in order many of the excesses within the body of
1:01:11
Christ. Includes the Nigerian Church,
1:01:13
the African Church and respectfully speaking world over
1:01:17
is a direct product of the inefficiency in discipleship.
1:01:24
Our discipleship models must be reviewed because there are many
1:01:29
discipleship models that end up leading to slavery.
1:01:33
There are many discipleship models that do not bring
1:01:35
liberty. Respectfully speaking, there are
1:01:38
many discipleship models that simply bind people across a sect
1:01:42
and does not bring liberty to the Kingdom.
1:01:44
Ambassadors. So when I talk about
1:01:46
discipleship, the true proof that you have been discipled.
1:01:50
Is your personal transformation and your maturity.
1:01:54
What made you cry yesterday no longer makes you cry today
1:01:58
because you have grown and talking about growth. 1st
1:02:03
Corinthians 13 and verse 11. Please give it to us 1311 First
1:02:08
Corinthians let's read together. Ready one to read.
1:02:11
When I was a child, I speak as a child, I understood as a child,
1:02:18
I thought as a child, but when I became a man, I put away
1:02:22
childish things. This is the biblical index to
1:02:26
measure maturity. Your thoughts, your words, that
1:02:29
you have been so transformed you approach life.
1:02:32
From a superior standpoint, if someone looks at you and says
1:02:37
you're a failure, it does not become a prayer point.
1:02:39
Mentorship has so built you. You are so elevated in your
1:02:43
mind. You will not demean your
1:02:45
transformation by paying attention to mundane things.
1:02:48
You have been so indoctrinated that you are seated with Christ.
1:02:52
You are of a superior race in Christ that if someone looks at
1:02:56
you and says you will not make it.
1:02:57
Your prayer will be for the person because you've been
1:03:00
taught. You see that now as an example.
1:03:08
The mandate that Jesus gave us requires proper discipleship to
1:03:16
raise a very, very healthy, a very vibrant army for him.
1:03:21
And this is the assignment that God has given the fivefold
1:03:24
according to Ephesians chapter. 4 when you read from verse 18.
1:03:28
Ephesians 4 from verse 18. Did I get that right?
1:03:34
Help me He led captivity captive, and He gave gifts to
1:03:37
men, and the Bible says He gave some apostles and prophets and
1:03:43
pastors and teachers. 11 My apologies, he says, for the
1:03:47
edifying, verse 12. Now perfecting or maturing of
1:03:51
the Saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of
1:03:55
the body of Christ. That means the fivefold ministry
1:03:58
in its entirety. It is God's strategy designed to
1:04:02
help believers attain unto maturity.
1:04:04
Verse 13 says It says till we all come into the unity of faith
1:04:10
and of the knowledge. Of the Son of God onto a perfect
1:04:12
man. The measure of the stature, of
1:04:15
the fullness of Christ, the fullness of Christ, the fullness
1:04:20
of Christ. He's talking to people who are
1:04:22
already saved, but he's saying there is an experience of the
1:04:26
fullness of Christ that we need to come into.
1:04:29
If you're understanding me, shout aloud.
1:04:30
Amen. Your response to life, your
1:04:36
response to all the things that happen around your life, is a
1:04:39
testament as to how much you have been transformed.
1:04:44
Hallelujah. That is the reason why the Bible
1:04:48
says not many people should presume to be teachers, because
1:04:52
our judgment as teachers will be higher.
1:04:54
You know why God will say I gave you access?
1:04:57
To the minds of millions for 20 years, for 30 years, for 40
1:05:01
years. What did you teach them?
1:05:03
You can literally tilt a whole generation towards error because
1:05:07
of the power of teaching, and you can direct a generation
1:05:12
back. When Satan wants to destroy the
1:05:17
sheep, the first thing he does is to corrupt or destroy the
1:05:21
shepherd. It is very easy to destroy the
1:05:25
sheep when the shepherd is out of balance, out of reach.
1:05:29
Out of. Order Are we together?
1:05:34
That is why as shepherds we depend on God with all our
1:05:37
lives. The Bible says trust in the Lord
1:05:39
with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.
1:05:42
It says in all your ways acknowledge Him and he shall
1:05:44
make straight your part. When it has to do with this
1:05:47
mission of transformation and discipleship, there are no
1:05:50
masters there because we are all students continually learning.
1:05:55
We lean consistently on His grace as we help to make our
1:05:59
contributions as far as building a robust army for the King is
1:06:03
concerned. Your.
1:06:05
Grace, Your Grace. I'm nothing without you, Your
1:06:15
Grace. Your grace shines on me.
1:06:24
It's your grace, Your Grace. I'm nothing without you, Your
1:06:35
grace. Your grace shines on.
1:06:40
Me, my dear people, let me give you a very big secret.
1:06:46
The greatest gift you can give any man of God, it is not a car.
1:06:52
The greatest gift you can give any man of God is not a house.
1:06:57
It's not a lot. And money in the account, as
1:06:59
wonderful as that is, the greatest gift you can give a man
1:07:03
of God is submission, to be transformed by the truth that
1:07:08
comes from him to you. Any man of God who loves Jesus
1:07:12
and loves the people committed to him.
1:07:14
The greatest joy of any man of God I know who sincerely loves
1:07:19
God. And loves his people is to see
1:07:22
them evolve into superior spiritual versions in response
1:07:27
to the truth that he's bringing that a weak man someone who came
1:07:31
January February right now you look at this lady this gentleman
1:07:35
you are filled with the Holy Spirit walking in the things of
1:07:38
God loving Jesus being. Used by Jesus to do great things
1:07:42
for the Kingdom and then making personal progress in your life
1:07:45
and destiny. There is nothing that consoles
1:07:48
and rewards a teaching priest as transformation.
1:07:53
If you become rich and you are not transformed, it's still a
1:07:55
trouble for the man. Nobody wants to.
1:07:58
See ill built people around him. We want to see dexterity and
1:08:04
stature and power from the opening of your lips.
1:08:07
It shows the how you were properly mentored that the way
1:08:11
you speak your words are communicate that with grace in
1:08:15
your heart unto the Lord. Your speaking has been cultured.
1:08:19
Your life has come on that divine.
1:08:21
Order and people will usually ask you, they will say things
1:08:25
like which church do you attend is these are all attempts to say
1:08:28
who taught you you are a sound product.
1:08:31
Listen, there are schools today that when Wyek resolved Wyek the
1:08:36
the West African exam in Nigeria or JAM because of the
1:08:40
performance that the students have.
1:08:43
Am I right on that? People who usually go and say
1:08:45
come, we need to examine the curriculum because it's not that
1:08:49
the students magically evolved to become the best.
1:08:52
They were subject to a kind of strategy that produced that
1:08:56
result. So what we aim to do by the
1:09:04
Spirit of God is to methodically pass us through a spiritual
1:09:09
system line up online. Can I tell you, I submit to you
1:09:13
by the authority of Scripture that if you submit yourself to
1:09:17
the truths that you are hearing week after week with your heart
1:09:20
being open, the opening of your heart is your own
1:09:23
responsibility. Are we together?
1:09:26
It is impossible to remain a failure by every and all
1:09:31
standards. Your life will be nothing short
1:09:34
of a sign and a wonder because the truths you are hearing are
1:09:37
not cunningly device fables. They have been tested not just
1:09:41
in our lives, they have been tested in the lives of those
1:09:44
that we have received the baton from and the Bible says, and
1:09:47
that from a child thou has none. The Holy Scripture.
1:09:50
You want anointing? There is a strategy.
1:09:52
You want wisdom. There is a strategy.
1:09:55
You want favor. There is a strategy you want
1:09:58
increase that God should lift you and cause your voice to be
1:10:01
heard across the nations. It is not luck.
1:10:04
Mentorship is the key. To stature and transformation is
1:10:10
someone learning that is why when Satan attacks your passion
1:10:14
and your desire to come to the House of God, it is a real.
1:10:18
Attack Hallelujah because he knows that once the seed has
1:10:24
been sown, you cannot stop the harvest.
1:10:27
The only way to stop the harvest is to stop the seed from
1:10:30
getting. There in the first place.
1:10:33
And if he, if he cannot get you to come to the House of God, or
1:10:37
stop you from coming to the House of God, the next
1:10:40
assignment becomes to turn your heart to a Stony ground, so that
1:10:44
even if good seed comes upon it, like the parable of the sower,
1:10:48
the Bible says there that did not produce were those who heard
1:10:52
the word. They did not understand it, they
1:10:54
didn't mix it with faith and it did not produce anything.
1:11:02
But in the name of Jesus, there's someone who is seated
1:11:05
here week after week. You may not understand what God
1:11:08
is doing in your life, but there is a wonder that is that is that
1:11:12
is evolving. Believe me, as you're submitting
1:11:15
yourself, Do you know I have? Met people and I've been humbled
1:11:19
by their depth of passion and sincerely speaking, without
1:11:23
exaggeration, as much as I've traveled across the globe, I
1:11:27
have seen people and I've been humbled by their their sense of.
1:11:32
Discipleship. Some of them do not have the
1:11:34
privilege to be here directly, but they have made-up
1:11:37
themselves. They've made-up their minds to
1:11:40
submit themselves to truth. And you sit with them for 5
1:11:44
minutes. The Excellency of their
1:11:46
understanding even challenges you as a man of God.
1:11:53
Whatever you want to do, Lord, you can do through me.
1:12:03
Whatever you want to say, Lord, you can say through me.
1:12:14
Wherever you want to go, Lord, you can go through me.
1:12:30
Jesus sound yours forevermore. Jesus sound yours forevermore.
1:12:46
Can I tell you the greatest way to say yes to Jesus is not
1:12:50
saying yes is preparing to be used by Him.
1:12:53
Hear me again. The greatest way to say yes to
1:12:56
Jesus is not to verbalize yes. You need that when it has to do
1:13:00
with salvation. The greatest way to say yes?
1:13:03
Is not to say yes, is to be prepared.
1:13:05
If I ask you come to my house and you pick my call and say I
1:13:09
am coming and go back to cover yourself with blanket, are you
1:13:13
really coming? The greater you may not even
1:13:15
answer me but get up and jump to the bathroom.
1:13:18
I see your readiness to come by your preparation.
1:13:22
There are many tongue talkers, there are many people.
1:13:25
Oh God, use me. But the submission to be trained
1:13:29
and to be built. To become that battle axe, there
1:13:32
is laxity. And you see, let me tell you an
1:13:37
advantage that we have. And and I said this, God says my
1:13:42
heart is not because I'm the one speaking.
1:13:44
If you ever have the opportunity to have a teaching priest that
1:13:49
is sounding doctrine and loves you sincerely, go back and lie
1:13:53
down and roll before God and say Lord, thank you for making my
1:13:57
journey to knowing you and being used by you.
1:14:00
Easy. Most people have no
1:14:03
understanding. Let me tell you this, and I say
1:14:06
it on behalf of every serious man of God.
1:14:09
Most people have no idea the labor and the burden of being a
1:14:14
man of God. Most times we just see maybe
1:14:18
protocols, some little blessings that come and especially younger
1:14:22
believers, they just. Admire.
1:14:23
And that that that that glamour is fueling their lost all that
1:14:30
is in their mind is the Jeep the man of God entered all that is
1:14:33
in their mind is that the whole paraphernalia.
1:14:35
These are all support systems just to make it easy.
1:14:38
Let me tell you the labor of the world is real labor to sit down
1:14:44
and get life applicable teachings.
1:14:47
I preach an average of two to three sermons every week.
1:14:51
I've. Done this for as long as I know
1:14:54
if it take under no circumstance, no matter where I
1:14:57
travel around the world, if I would be around on Sunday, I
1:15:01
must make sure the message to give God's people is.
1:15:04
Fresh is ready to be served. That is labor that comes by law.
1:15:10
Listen, I'm not just saying this to I hope you.
1:15:13
When I teach like this, I get so uncomfortable.
1:15:15
It's just that the truth has to be said.
1:15:21
Submitting to the ministry of a teaching priest, Indeed.
1:15:25
Bringing balance and a holistic capture of the truths that
1:15:30
number one, help you to know God #2 help you to understand the
1:15:35
Kingdom and #3 help to produce personal excellence in your
1:15:39
life, keeping you effective from an eternal standpoint and
1:15:44
excelling within the cosmos. I am telling you it is a
1:15:47
blessing. Many believers take for granted
1:15:52
the labor that brings truths that build them.
1:15:56
You'll be surprised someone who has been failing in business,
1:15:59
you just. Come when a financial series is
1:16:02
being taught and you get one. One truth that brings balance to
1:16:06
your life. Managing pride, managing anger,
1:16:09
managing lost, managing all kinds.
1:16:11
Of things that would destroy you, how about the manifestation
1:16:15
of the power of God? Witchcraft and curses and yokes
1:16:20
from anywhere to anywhere and you come together.
1:16:23
Those spirits join you to church and yet you leave them behind
1:16:26
and go back as a free man. All kinds of yokes.
1:16:31
Apostle for 20 years, I've not found liberty in my life.
1:16:34
And God says go there. I'm the one who is preparing
1:16:38
this teaching priest. I know what I put in them.
1:16:40
You go and sit down there and watch what happens.
1:16:50
But you see, the goal is not for you to be a member and just keep
1:16:55
watching. No, there is a training.
1:16:58
Please listen to me. There is an equipping.
1:17:00
It is a very painful thing to any man of God.
1:17:03
If you have been around his church or the spiritual circle
1:17:06
for a long time and the evidence of transformation is not in you,
1:17:10
even if you are a giver, it is more than money.
1:17:13
It is your transformation that I was here.
1:17:17
I thought like a child, I understood like a child.
1:17:20
Look my spiritual understanding now when you are assessed by
1:17:24
life across a range of areas, your spiritual life, your
1:17:29
understanding about Satan, about God, about life, about
1:17:32
challenges, about victory, about success.
1:17:35
You have been so fashioned and so framed.
1:17:38
Now God can send you to 1. Be a man of God that cry.
1:17:42
Remember when he sent you, You may have come as an OSHA, but
1:17:46
your destiny is to be a prophet and apostle to the nations.
1:17:49
Mentorship is what evolves you from that cleaner to a mighty
1:17:54
man. Men do not rise just because
1:17:57
time is passing. Men rise upon the quality of the
1:18:00
information, the sound understanding that is being
1:18:04
imputed into their. Spirits, if you're with me, say
1:18:07
Amen and then let me submit to you.
1:18:11
And I'm saying this respectfully, when God grants
1:18:19
you access to come across the life of people who genuinely
1:18:23
have results, respect that atmosphere most.
1:18:28
We live in a world where people downplay results as if it is by
1:18:32
is just lucky. No no, consistency is proof of
1:18:37
mastery. You can have short time results
1:18:42
by luck, but you cannot have sustainable results by luck.
1:18:46
The Bible says he that strives for mastery is not crown except
1:18:50
and unless he strives lawfully. Hallelujah, praise the name of
1:18:57
the Lord. So the Great Commission that
1:19:02
Jesus gave us #1 again, the 1st component is world
1:19:07
evangelization, reaching the lost.
1:19:10
The second is discipleship. Are you ready for the third?
1:19:14
The third component of the Great Commission is called territorial
1:19:19
or societal transformation. Please.
1:19:21
Write. This is the most neglected
1:19:23
component of the Great Commission.
1:19:26
This is the peace that has not been brought in.
1:19:30
It is a tripartite mandate, but most people ship in a lopsided
1:19:34
way, territorial or societal transformation.
1:19:41
What does this mean? That the gospel that we bring
1:19:45
and propose? As designed in the mind of Jesus
1:19:49
was supposed to penetrate systems and structures that
1:19:53
society must feel the impact of the gospel.
1:19:56
Any gospel that cannot penetrate and transform society is barring
1:20:03
of many components of power. Listen, the first area of impact
1:20:09
of the gospel in society I wrote here is impact on the moral
1:20:13
fabric of society. Please write it down on that
1:20:18
territorial transformation, the true gospel.
1:20:21
When the church becomes light and the message of the Gospel is
1:20:25
really going far, backed up by discipleship, it must impact on
1:20:31
the moral fabric. Of society.
1:20:35
What does that mean? There has to be a change in the
1:20:39
overall expression of the moral fabric of any society.
1:20:44
Crime rate should should reduce. Disobedience should reduce.
1:20:48
There are many things that should reduce.
1:20:51
Thank God for the prisons. Thank God for law enforcement
1:20:54
agents. But can I tell you?
1:20:57
The church is supposed to work in partnership with this law
1:21:00
enforcement agents as far as diminishing the rise of moral
1:21:05
decadence within society. The church is supposed to be the
1:21:10
pillar and the ground of truth to bring moral decadence to the
1:21:14
minimum. But when we have more churches,
1:21:18
and as the churches rise, crime is rising, all kinds of things
1:21:22
are rising, it may not be that the church is is is important is
1:21:26
that the content of our communication and the efficiency
1:21:30
of our weakness is now found wanting.
1:21:36
Every time there was a revival and awakening in the Bible, it
1:21:42
translated to many other things. When you read Acts 19, you will
1:21:46
see that people brought their magic books.
1:21:48
Am I right on that? As a result of the outpouring,
1:21:52
the Bible says they brought their magic books.
1:21:54
They gathered them together and burned them.
1:21:57
And the Bible tells us the financial worth of it.
1:22:00
That is the gospel penetrating society.
1:22:05
When Jesus walked upon the earth, he was not just the
1:22:08
disciples and sinners alone that he spoke to.
1:22:11
He went to the houses of those who were people of influence,
1:22:15
for instance Zacchaeus. His encounter with Zacchaeus
1:22:19
saved many people who had been unjustly treated because
1:22:22
Zacchaeus became broken and repentant and now use this
1:22:26
influence to correct the manipulation and the corruption
1:22:30
that he was having as far as tax is concerned.
1:22:38
I fear that if society does not feel the impact of the church,
1:22:43
not from a standpoint of fanaticism, falling and rising
1:22:48
only benefits us. Society has no business with
1:22:50
that. When they watch believers fall
1:22:52
and rise, they are just interested in seeing this
1:22:55
superstition like manifestation. It is the transformation that
1:22:59
happens in society. Can I tell you the moment your
1:23:03
life respectfully speaking, your ministry and whatever platform
1:23:07
begins to directly impact society, you start drawing the
1:23:12
the attention of certain? People and they know you to be
1:23:15
an agent of transformation, and they begin to incorporate you in
1:23:19
processes that help to transform society.
1:23:23
This is where men become nations.
1:23:27
Hallelujah, men can become nations.
1:23:32
I'm reminded of my great, greatly revered mentor in the
1:23:37
Lord. Now he's going to be with the
1:23:38
Lord, Doctor Miles Monroe. Aside from being a man of God,
1:23:43
he understood this dimension of territorial transformation and
1:23:47
he translated his on his spiritual understanding to a
1:23:50
context. When Nelson Mandela was released
1:23:54
from prison, I understand that it was him and one other person
1:23:58
that were sent as delegates to go and greet him and receive
1:24:02
him. These were men who impacted the
1:24:04
fabric of society. Man of God, if only the church
1:24:08
claps for you, you are not doing well.
1:24:11
Society must join the church to say well done, we may not
1:24:14
believe in you. All but we respect the fact that
1:24:17
there is transformation. They may not call it God, but
1:24:21
they should call it transformation.
1:24:24
The hospitals should see the effect of the gospel.
1:24:27
The prisons should see the effect of the gospel.
1:24:34
Is someone learning? This is the mandate that Jesus
1:24:37
left. The church in Africa is very
1:24:40
ineffective as far as societal transformation is concerned.
1:24:44
So the understanding of the average unbeliever about the
1:24:47
church in Africa is that we're just a bunch of fanatics who
1:24:51
like prayer and like falling down.
1:24:53
Occasionally we prophecy and those who seem to be sound have
1:24:56
revelation, end of discussion. And so they watch sometimes and
1:25:00
they are also interested. Wow, come and see people falling
1:25:03
down and it does not translate to anything.
1:25:05
As far as societal transformation is concerned.
1:25:08
These are. They.
1:25:09
That turn the world upside down. Not just they that preach well.
1:25:14
Not just they that laid hands. Are we together by the time say
1:25:20
the Judicial Council of Nigeria comes to meet you as a man of
1:25:22
God and as a church that we just came to recognize you because we
1:25:26
have found out that all the products that come from this
1:25:29
church have been active contributors to reducing.
1:25:32
Crime within a territory. Now that is light.
1:25:35
You are the light of the world, not the light of the church.
1:25:40
That in the prison they can know your name.
1:25:42
And the person can say, I, I agree, I'm a Sinner, but thank
1:25:46
God for this person and that person because you have added
1:25:50
joy. I'm sure many of you are blessed
1:25:52
and inspired by what our School of Ministry students did you
1:25:54
watch the video? We allow them to place those
1:25:57
videos, their visits to the prisons.
1:25:59
And the rest, to be able to help and see that the concept of
1:26:03
ministry is not just preparing for pulpit.
1:26:06
Pulpit work only accounts for about 30% of ministry.
1:26:12
Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good
1:26:16
deeds. They will call your light good
1:26:18
deeds. You are the only one who knows
1:26:20
it is light. As far as they are concerned, it
1:26:22
is good deeds they will call it. But all bees.
1:26:27
The Bible says they will glorify your Father who is in heaven.
1:26:32
Hallelujah, is someone learning territorial transformation?
1:26:39
The first area of territorial transformation, I said is impact
1:26:42
on the moral fabric of society. What is the second area?
1:26:47
Impact on the quality of lives of the people within that
1:26:51
territory. Or this is important that if it
1:26:54
is the Gospel, ladies and gentlemen, it must impact on the
1:26:59
quality of lives of the people in John chapter 10 and verse 10
1:27:05
Jesus said the thief comment not but for to steal to kill and to
1:27:11
destroy. Please let me have your
1:27:12
attention. He says I am come that he might
1:27:15
have life and that they might have it more abundantly is that
1:27:19
in your Bible. Matthew chapter 14.
1:27:22
Please give us from verse 16. Matthew 14 give us from verse
1:27:25
16. Jesus said unto them they need
1:27:29
not to depart. This is.
1:27:31
Jesus he finished preaching in a crusade and now he saw several
1:27:37
people, but because he was a portrait of the holistic gospel,
1:27:42
he paid attention to their needs and their well-being he said
1:27:46
they need not depart give them to eat 17 how can such a
1:27:50
preacher and a miracle Walker the the embodiment of the
1:27:55
gospel, the reason for the gospel the means of attaining
1:27:59
the life of God himself he showed us that the gospel does
1:28:03
not just end in the spiritual health of the believer that God
1:28:06
is concerned about the. Quality of the well-being of
1:28:09
believers. This is the balanced gospel, the
1:28:13
gospel that just influences your spirit man alone and does not
1:28:17
care about the overall quality of your life.
1:28:19
There is a problem with that kind of.
1:28:21
Gospel. Let me finish the scripture.
1:28:23
Please leave it for us next verse.
1:28:26
It says bring them hit up to me 5 loaf now and two fish.
1:28:29
The Bible says verse 19 that he commanded the multitudes to sit
1:28:34
down on the grass. He took the five loaf 2 fish
1:28:37
looking up to heaven. He blessed and break and gave it
1:28:40
to his disciples who were those who shared the welfare
1:28:45
disciples. The same people he was training
1:28:49
to be men of God. That means a man of God has a
1:28:52
dimension of him, if properly mentored, that must serve and
1:28:56
care for people even at their physical.
1:28:59
Needs to see to it that their lives become qualitative while
1:29:03
they know God and serve God is a balanced view of the gospel.
1:29:08
There are people who have erroneously thought that the
1:29:11
gospel does not have a place in the overall well-being of
1:29:14
people. I disagree.
1:29:16
Jesus has demonstrated from scripture the gospel captures
1:29:20
the tripartite nature of man, spirit, soul, body.
1:29:25
The quality of your life should be improved.
1:29:28
Because you are a child of God now it is.
1:29:30
True that the ultimate pursuit of the believer is not for
1:29:34
things, and unfortunately the gospel of materialism has had
1:29:38
its its fair share of destruction in the body of
1:29:41
Christ. Thank God for the
1:29:42
transformations that are ongoing, but the truth still
1:29:45
remains that the gospel that does not affect the quality of
1:29:49
living of a people. There is something incomplete
1:29:52
with that message. Jesus said I am come that he may
1:29:56
have life and to have it more abundantly.
1:29:59
When Jesus saw hungry people, he contributed to making their
1:30:03
lives better. Jesus taught on finances.
1:30:06
Is that not in your Bible? Jesus taught on demons.
1:30:09
Jesus taught on himself. Jesus taught on the Father.
1:30:12
The gospel, being holistic, must capture every dimension of men's
1:30:17
lives. It must have an impact on the
1:30:20
quality of the lives of the people within a territory.
1:30:23
Nobody should sit down under a preacher listening to the
1:30:27
gospel, being mentored and discipled and then eventually
1:30:31
cannot take care of his wife or children.
1:30:33
Lives a poor and a miserable life, not connected to purpose,
1:30:37
not finding. Meaning for his life.
1:30:39
There is something wrong with that kind of mentorship.
1:30:42
When God comes, He elevates everything about your life and
1:30:46
that includes the quality of your living.
1:30:48
You believe that shout Amen. I was not like this when I
1:30:54
started with God. I have never been motivated by
1:30:57
money or motivated by self, you know, natural things.
1:31:02
But I'll be lying today to say God has not blessed me while I
1:31:05
preach the gospel and it will be wicked of me.
1:31:08
If I have benefited holistically from preaching the gospel, I
1:31:11
must extend the same to everybody.
1:31:14
Am I right on that? When I started preaching the
1:31:16
gospel, there were privileges. I did not have the quality.
1:31:20
Of my life today as a result of being a laborer in as much as my
1:31:24
passion has not changed. Has only gone from glory to
1:31:27
glory. God in communicating that gospel
1:31:31
makes sure that your life also benefits from it.
1:31:35
Why then will I teach you and focus?
1:31:37
Just on your spiritual life and ignore other aspects of your
1:31:40
life. It took me driving a car to come
1:31:43
to church here. Is that true?
1:31:45
That means while the focus is not on you buying a car and
1:31:48
buying a house, eventually, as you serve His purposes and love
1:31:52
Him, His benevolence extends that far to reach to the nitty
1:31:57
gritty. Did the Bible not say even the
1:31:59
hair on your hair is numbered? He knows.
1:32:06
My name he knows my every thought he seeks each teeth that
1:32:24
falls and he heats me when listen to me.
1:32:34
It is true that you can prosper, as we call prosperity, material
1:32:37
prosperity, without Jesus. But there is something Jesus
1:32:41
brings to a life that only Him can give you that kind of
1:32:46
prosperity. Ladies and gentlemen, the gospel
1:32:50
is not limited to knowing Jesus alone.
1:32:53
The gospel also includes enjoying the benefits that comes
1:32:56
from knowing the Lord. Let me show you one scripture.
1:32:59
It says bless the Lord. O my soul.
1:33:04
That should be Psalm 103. Please give it to us.
1:33:08
There are five benefits that the Lord brings to men.
1:33:12
Bless the Lord O my soul and all that is within me.
1:33:16
Please listen and learn. Bless His holy name, verse 2.
1:33:20
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not whose benefits
1:33:26
everybody say all his benefits one more time.
1:33:29
Say all. His benefits?
1:33:32
There are benefits that God gives people by reason of
1:33:36
knowing Him, loving Him, serving Him, living for Him.
1:33:41
That is never the motivation for loving.
1:33:43
Him, but these are consolations that come with loving Him.
1:33:48
Are you ready? Five of them.
1:33:49
Never forget verse three, number one, who forgiveth all thine
1:33:55
iniquities, the salvation of your soul, receiving eternal
1:34:00
redemption through his blood, that she first of all benefits,
1:34:04
but not the only one benefit #2. Who he let all thy diseases is
1:34:10
that in your Bible benefit #3 Who redeemed thy life from
1:34:16
destruction, deliverance and preservation benefit #4 Who
1:34:21
crowned thee with loving kindness and tenderness?
1:34:24
Is honor. It is a benefit and then finally
1:34:28
read this one. If you're a Christian ready one
1:34:30
to read who satisfy stop. What part of your body does it
1:34:35
satisfy? Who satisfied thy mouth with
1:34:40
good things, so that on account of the efficiency of your life,
1:34:45
your youth is renewed like that of an.
1:34:48
Eagle, this one. That renewal of your life is
1:34:51
directly tied to what enters your mouth.
1:34:57
If nothing enters your mouth, something will happen to your
1:35:00
youth and something will happen to your vitality.
1:35:03
The quality of your life is also incorporated in the gospel.
1:35:07
Please. Find a way of believing this.
1:35:10
I have vowed on that God that I will never by God raise a people
1:35:14
who are just spiritually vibrant and then be careless about other
1:35:19
aspects of your life. I'm a man of God who will be
1:35:22
very intentional and vocal as much as God grants grace in
1:35:27
communicating the whole counsel of God as it leads to the
1:35:31
overall excelling of believers. We should never have workers,
1:35:35
for instance, in Koinonia, who are having their children not go
1:35:39
to school and it does not matter.
1:35:41
All you are doing is being a good worker.
1:35:43
That will be. Hypocrisy when their lives are
1:35:46
improved. Listen, do you know the Church
1:35:51
as an institution? The church as a corporate
1:35:54
institution, there is no nation. I know maybe aside from the
1:35:58
Vatican, there is no nation as a Church of believers that is an
1:36:03
institution on its. Own from a governmental
1:36:06
standpoint, there are non Christian nations and platforms
1:36:11
that they have they have they literally control the economy
1:36:15
and it is directly to is is directed to serve whatever
1:36:19
'cause it stands. For there is no such thing like
1:36:21
that in the Church. So the Church largely depends on
1:36:25
the excelling of the membership and their benevolence as it
1:36:29
comes to the treasury. Am I right on that?
1:36:31
That means when there are people who are incapacitated, there is
1:36:35
so much that cannot be done by the Church.
1:36:38
And then, and the few who may be empowered to do it, if you are
1:36:41
not careful and you become a beggar to too many people, they
1:36:45
will erode the purity of your message using the pottage of
1:36:49
steel that they give you to eat. Are we together?
1:36:55
There are many people who are poor and helpless in church,
1:36:58
bankrupt of influence, and yet we act as if it is not an issue.
1:37:02
The gospel, if it is Jesus you are teaching, who is an epitome
1:37:06
of love. And it's in the character of
1:37:08
love to give. Then it means the first thing
1:37:11
that should happen to me is that my heart should be so purified
1:37:14
that money and material and mundane.
1:37:17
Things should never take his place, however, while I focus on
1:37:21
him, he does not leave my needs attended unattended to.
1:37:25
Eventually my life should be a holistic capture of the goodness
1:37:29
of God. Is it not?
1:37:30
In your Bible it says, oh taste and see not just that the Lord
1:37:34
is Savior, that the Lord is. Good.
1:37:42
Are you learning the Great Commission?
1:37:46
Growing up, I saw many missionaries.
1:37:49
And respectfully speaking, with all due respect and honor to all
1:37:53
who are in the mission field today, most people have.
1:37:56
Do you know why evangelism is almost a psychological threat to
1:38:00
many people? Because of the condition of
1:38:02
those who answered the call. They answered the call almost to
1:38:06
their pain right now you go and meet a young lady somewhere and
1:38:10
say I want to marry you. I want to go and see your
1:38:12
parents and let me tell you God has called me to go to the
1:38:15
vineyard as soon as we marry, we are on our way to Iraq and the
1:38:18
rest and the Father looks at you and says so this is how you plan
1:38:21
to reward me for labor it or my it doesn't mean that they don't
1:38:24
love Jesus that the the gospel we have brought a context of the
1:38:32
gospel that seems to be. Unattentive to the quality of
1:38:37
the lives of people. Now when your pursuit becomes
1:38:40
ultimately an all materialism. I'm coming to Jesus because of a
1:38:45
car, a house. I'm coming to Jesus because of a
1:38:48
husband, a wife, because of promotion.
1:38:50
Now something is wrong because your priority has been
1:38:54
misplaced. While it is true that He does
1:38:56
all of that, He wants your heart to love him, to serve Him, to be
1:39:00
lifted above every other God. The God of materialism, the God
1:39:05
of. The goal?
1:39:05
Are we together now? Yes.
1:39:08
This is what needs to be balanced, the overall quality of
1:39:14
the lives of God's people. Now please listen.
1:39:19
There are two ministries that have been seriously threatened
1:39:24
in the body of Christ, and there needs to be caution and balance
1:39:29
there. There are.
1:39:30
Two ministries that have been threatened #1.
1:39:33
Is the prophetic ministry number 2?
1:39:37
Is the ministry that has to do with transformation and
1:39:40
empowerment, even financial empowerment?
1:39:42
We must be careful in attempting to purify the body of Christ.
1:39:47
There are two ministries who are fighting, and we're going to
1:39:49
regret it because these two ministries are the ministry that
1:39:53
played the greatest role in bringing the gospel.
1:39:57
The ministry of the prophetic was why the Gospel walked.
1:40:01
And the ministry of Kingdom financing, are we together now
1:40:05
I'm just digressing to place there are many believers today
1:40:09
who because of the imbalances around the prophetic,
1:40:12
unfortunately, which we have identified and we know that God
1:40:16
is working on across. Nigeria, across Africa, there
1:40:20
have been many issues here and there.
1:40:22
There are two major issues with the prophetic that is now being
1:40:25
corrected #1 is the absence of genuine consecration.
1:40:29
So over the years there's been a lot of carelessness and
1:40:32
lasciviousness around the prophetic, simply because of the
1:40:36
abundance and the charismatism around the gift.
1:40:39
I'm just teaching you this for your knowledge #2.
1:40:43
Has been the purity and the word compliancy of the practices.
1:40:48
Many of the practices around the prophetic circles are largely
1:40:52
extra biblical and there's no time.
1:40:55
One day I hope I'll have the time to teach you on the
1:40:57
prophetic and the Apostolic ministry.
1:40:59
The very nature of the prophetic ministry is controversial.
1:41:05
All the controversial manifestations of Jesus in the
1:41:08
Bible was when he switched prophetic.
1:41:11
Are we together? So there is already a natural
1:41:14
propensity of being in a place of of where you can provide
1:41:20
error and confusion. That is the reason why a true
1:41:23
prophet must balance it by being sound in Scripture.
1:41:27
This has been the greatest mistake of the prophetic over
1:41:30
the years. Absence of consecration,
1:41:34
carelessness around the altar, and then #2 principles and
1:41:37
practices that in many regards are very disdaining and
1:41:41
completely. Antichrist.
1:41:44
But that does not mean the prophetic as a ministry should
1:41:46
be thrown away just because we are trying to purify it.
1:41:50
In my opinion, and respectfully speaking, even though I'm
1:41:52
teaching on the Great Commission, the greater problem
1:41:55
that needs to manage to be managed is what is brewing right
1:41:58
now. The arrogance.
1:42:01
Of the Apostolic ministry. This will cause more danger than
1:42:05
the disaster of the prophetic ministry because naturally, and
1:42:10
by apostle, I don't mean whether your name is Apostle Joshua,
1:42:13
Salman. No, no, that's not the idea.
1:42:15
The Apostolic ministry generally, all through
1:42:18
Scripture, Paul, Peter, modern history, the Apostolic ministry
1:42:23
generally comes with a sense of pride and a sense of superiority
1:42:28
above other ministries. It is a natural weakness that
1:42:32
comes with the Apostolic ministry.
1:42:33
When you see a true apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ who is
1:42:36
humble, it didn't come by default.
1:42:39
It is a product of the dealing of the Holy Spirit.
1:42:41
Now the Apostolic ministry needs to be careful as we manage and
1:42:46
deal with the matters that have to do with the prophetic
1:42:49
ministry because it was through the prophetic ministry that
1:42:53
apostles were even born in the 1st place.
1:42:55
You see that and we have to be careful.
1:42:59
There are people right now whose lives cannot be changed because
1:43:02
of the prophetic ministry, because it looks like they've
1:43:05
been squeezed. We are trying to do what Jezebel
1:43:07
did to the prophets. We need to be.
1:43:09
Careful. Hallelujah.
1:43:11
There were prophets who were under the custody of Elijah who
1:43:15
were in hiding because of the threats that came to them.
1:43:18
Now there are many young men who have a genuine prophetic calls.
1:43:21
But because of the the overall image of the prophetic, the
1:43:25
prophetic is a great blessing. It remains an eternal blessing.
1:43:30
What we need to do is to pray, and I'm saying this on air.
1:43:33
I'm saying this respectfully. Let's pray for all our
1:43:36
colleagues and brothers and sisters across the world, those
1:43:40
who have been given to compromise and the bankruptcy of
1:43:43
consecration. Provided Jesus has not come,
1:43:46
there is still room for renewal and transformation and
1:43:49
repentance. And then to re examine prophetic
1:43:53
practices in light of scriptural strategies.
1:43:56
These are the things that need to be corrected.
1:43:58
But while that is happening, the Apostolic ministry needs to
1:44:02
quickly go back to the trashing floor and start repenting from
1:44:05
pride. Because when we are done dealing
1:44:08
with the prophetic ministry, we'll find out that the pride
1:44:11
and the imbalances, false teaching is worse than false
1:44:15
prophecy. You see, I can prophecy to you
1:44:19
falsely and you can know the truth in one moment.
1:44:22
But when I build you around an arrow.
1:44:25
I have carved you on Stony to take God.
1:44:28
Are we together now? It's not easy to transfer false
1:44:31
prophecy, but you can transfer imbalance, you can transfer
1:44:34
false teaching. So there is a bigger problem
1:44:37
across the Nigerian and African soil and that is there has to be
1:44:41
a restoration of doctrine. Step one is to admit that the
1:44:44
best of us does not know everything and then to know that
1:44:47
God has only committed dimensions to us.
1:44:50
We are mandated by God to be effective within the dimension
1:44:55
given to us while appreciating the other supplies.
1:44:58
In the body, which includes the prophetic ministry and then to
1:45:02
be on our knees praying for the overall health of the church.
1:45:06
An attack on the prophetic is an attack on the church.
1:45:09
An attack on the Apostolic is an attack on the church.
1:45:13
Rejoicing over the downfall of others is going to be a
1:45:17
catastrophe to our life because. When there are no prophets, it
1:45:20
will hinder the manifestation of the program of God in many ways.
1:45:24
Are we together now? Yes, so this I just thought to
1:45:28
bring this in because I, I, I, there is a many people who are
1:45:33
called to empower the church, even financially.
1:45:36
We have pushed them out of the scene and with all their ideas
1:45:40
and their wisdom. Billionaires and millionaires
1:45:42
and now the church is looking for money and our bank, because
1:45:46
we have ignored those ministries, is now beginning to
1:45:48
push us in compromise. Some of them came with, some of
1:45:51
them are veterans in business, veterans in economy and they
1:45:56
brought their hearts sincerely to serve the body.
1:45:58
Like any other ministry. They will have their arrow.
1:46:01
Everybody listen, everybody is a fanatic to his area of call.
1:46:06
So when you find people emphasizing an area above.
1:46:09
Another it is simply the. Fire that comes with the bias of
1:46:14
your call. If I've been called to lead you
1:46:16
in prayer, I will teach you prayer as if there is nothing
1:46:19
else to do. If I've been called to empower
1:46:22
you financially, I will teach you finances as if there's
1:46:25
nothing else to do. It is simply the fanatism that
1:46:28
comes with the call. But that does not mean that we
1:46:33
should throw away many people. There are many believers now,
1:46:36
many churches now, many circles now.
1:46:39
Their number one prayer point is finance.
1:46:42
Many. Projects to do, but those that
1:46:44
God has empowered to come and serve the body, we are pushing
1:46:48
them away in a bid to try to clean the church.
1:46:51
It is a mistake. There is a referee, a man who is
1:46:54
playing football cannot assess other footballers.
1:46:57
There are people outside the field who assess everyone.
1:47:00
The Bible says let him that thinks he stands take heed lest
1:47:05
he falls. Are we learning now?
1:47:07
I'm saying this because there is a generation that is learning
1:47:10
anything they find and that generation is going to be a
1:47:13
disaster if balance is not brought to their life.
1:47:19
What through Lucifer from heaven was not lost?
1:47:22
It was pride that translated to treason.
1:47:25
God himself opposes pride. We have to be able to manage
1:47:30
people and when we observe wrongs within the body of
1:47:33
Christ, we must communicate the truth in love.
1:47:37
I repeat the truth in love. Once the truth is, outside of
1:47:42
love, there is a serious problem.
1:47:46
Now I have sensed in my spirit that there is trouble within the
1:47:49
spiritual climate of Nigeria, Africa and across the globe.
1:47:54
We have insulted the West and made it look like they are all
1:47:57
cold. They are not serious.
1:48:00
We have no idea some of the moves of God that are still
1:48:03
being preserved. I have met people across the
1:48:06
world, Europe, the USI am telling you their spiritual fire
1:48:10
and vibrancy and consecration. Some of us do not come close
1:48:14
into it. God is everywhere still with
1:48:17
witnesses he's raising. We need to be careful Nigeria
1:48:21
our arrogance may Pegas and abort something prophetic that
1:48:25
God is giving us the grace just because in this season God has
1:48:29
put the lamp. On Nigeria, we must not make the
1:48:32
mistakes that has happened in the history of the Nigerian
1:48:34
Church. We must approach this mission
1:48:37
God has given us with profound humility.
1:48:40
Otherwise, our bishopric will be taken and given to a list nation
1:48:45
that may not seem to represent the purposes of God and God will
1:48:48
raise mighty men and women. I'm saying this because the
1:48:51
pride that is around believers, especially the Nigerian and the
1:48:55
African Church, we need to be careful beginning from.
1:48:58
Myself, all of us, there's no tell them.
1:49:00
And when you are discussing this is a message from God to
1:49:02
everybody from the rising of the sun to the setting of the same.
1:49:14
Your name. Is to.
1:49:25
Be as anointed as we are. When we are sick and we pray and
1:49:30
nothing happens, we run to the hospital.
1:49:32
If we destroy the ministry of the hospital simply because the
1:49:36
healing anointing is there, the day you anointing cannot raise
1:49:39
the seat, there will be many people.
1:49:41
Many people today have died who are not supposed to have died
1:49:44
because the kind of teaching that came downplayed the
1:49:47
hospitals in an attempt to describe the superiority.
1:49:51
Of God's power. I work in science and wonders is
1:49:54
a grace that God has given. But we have a medical team, a
1:49:57
responsible and professional medical team.
1:50:01
Are we together? I have prayed for people that
1:50:03
have given them money to go to the hospital.
1:50:05
I have gone to hospitals to visit people myself and to pray
1:50:09
for them there, and I don't do it with any sense of shame or
1:50:12
whatever it is. If we don't.
1:50:14
Repent from some of these falsehood.
1:50:15
Life would be disgracing US1 by 1:00 because of the imbalances
1:50:19
that come from us. The the earlier we admit this,
1:50:23
the better for us because the days that are coming will expose
1:50:26
our limitations in ways that will bring shame to us.
1:50:30
The man of God is called to teach truth as revealed to him
1:50:34
by God, whilst respecting other supplies that are within the
1:50:38
body. I emphasize again, the prophetic
1:50:41
deserves an eternal honor. It should be corrected.
1:50:45
It should be. Balanced and we are praying we
1:50:48
continue to pray that out of the ashes of lack of concentration,
1:50:53
consecration and all kinds of wrong extra biblical practices
1:50:57
that God himself will walk upon the heart of those called into
1:51:00
the professor prophetic ministry to become a portrait of
1:51:03
authentic prophetic ministry. But we who God has called into
1:51:08
the Apostolic especially, we must.
1:51:10
Manage our our overconfidence with pride.
1:51:14
You see, let me tell you my the bit of my work with the Fathers
1:51:18
of faith in this nation has taught me something.
1:51:20
There are many things the Fathers see, and you see them
1:51:23
keep quiet. They only talk when they're in
1:51:26
the place of prayer. Let us learn there is something
1:51:28
they know that we do not know. I repeat to you, the Bible says
1:51:33
He that thinketh, he stands. Let him take heed lest he falls.
1:51:40
If Jesus as the Son of God almost fell in Gethsemane, then
1:51:44
we need to be careful. Our overconfidence will only
1:51:48
give Satan room to disgrace us. There is an approach to ministry
1:51:52
with humility of heart as by people who have been helped by
1:51:57
God, and that must be the template we approach people.
1:52:00
The Bible says Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain
1:52:04
mercy. Are we together?
1:52:07
Yes. I've met a few people in my life
1:52:11
and sometimes when I see those people, they want to run away
1:52:13
from me because it looks like, oh, there's a there's a stigma.
1:52:16
Maybe they think I will insult them and this.
1:52:18
And sometimes I draw them and say, how are you this and that?
1:52:21
May God bless you if you ever give room to listen.
1:52:24
OK, you may need to adjust this. Just adjust this one.
1:52:27
Adjust this. We're praying for you.
1:52:28
And that's it. But we need to be careful,
1:52:32
especially the generation that is looking up to our lives,
1:52:35
those ones that have not even started.
1:52:37
You see what the devil is already doing with them.
1:52:40
The Church is called to pray. We pray.
1:52:42
For one another so that in an attempt to fix a pipe, we don't
1:52:47
close it down. How did I get here?
1:52:55
The quality of your life, that's what.
1:52:57
That's what brought me. I think God wanted me to say
1:53:01
this. Hallelujah.
1:53:04
So believe us, learn. It doesn't matter what church
1:53:06
you belong to. Respect the prophetic, respect
1:53:10
the Apostolic, respect the pastoral, respect the
1:53:14
evangelistic. Are we together?
1:53:16
Respect the ministry of the teacher.
1:53:18
Respect elders now forever. For as long as Jesus remains, we
1:53:24
will keep seeing all kinds of errors and mistakes that require
1:53:29
correction. And as much as God grants grace,
1:53:32
we will do so in love while watching our own lives.
1:53:35
Let me tell you the truth, the correction that has come to the
1:53:38
Apostolic prophetic ministry, maybe in the last three to five
1:53:41
years, I truly believe is the will of God.
1:53:44
But we must know when it has come to an end.
1:53:46
Let me show you a Scripture God showed me.
1:53:48
Can I show you Psalm 76 and verse 10?
1:53:51
Give it to us. Let's read it and then I'll
1:53:53
finish my teaching. 1-2 Read. Surely the wrath of man shall
1:53:59
praise. Thee the remainder of the wrath
1:54:02
shall thou restraint. Keep that Scripture there.
1:54:05
There is a way the anger of man can bring praise to God.
1:54:09
That is what has happened. It is the anger that God has
1:54:13
planted in the hearts of many people across the body of Christ
1:54:16
that has helped to wake people suddenly.
1:54:19
You see that it has a woken people to doctrine, it has a
1:54:23
woken people to consecration, it has a woken people to purity,
1:54:26
awoken people to prayer, awoken people to all kinds of things.
1:54:30
There is an anger that God Himself allowed in the hearts of
1:54:34
man that has brought praise to the Lord.
1:54:36
But the remaining of that anger, God is now restraining it.
1:54:40
He's saying it is enough. The mission of that anger has
1:54:42
been fulfilled. If you continue, you are walking
1:54:45
in the flesh. The wrath of man shall praise
1:54:48
thee, but the remainder of that wrath shall thou restraint.
1:54:53
The purpose of the wrath is to bring an awakening to those who
1:54:56
are sleeping. But when that awakening has
1:54:59
happened, then there must be grace.
1:55:01
It says in your. Anger.
1:55:03
Do not sin, Do not let the sun go down.
1:55:06
There is timing to it while you are still angry.
1:55:10
Is somebody learning? Are you learning?
1:55:13
This is very important, so don't go around pointing hands at
1:55:17
people and be a judge and say this one, That's not your
1:55:20
business. We must be at our knees praying
1:55:24
anybody who God exposes an opportunity for transformation,
1:55:28
for repentance. And change.
1:55:30
And he plays with God, God's intelligence.
1:55:32
There is a system already within the economy of God where
1:55:37
judgment is meted upon stubborn hearts.
1:55:40
Leave that to God, it is his business.
1:55:43
Are we together now? Yes, in the Bible there have
1:55:45
been all repentant people where in the presence of correction by
1:55:50
the Spirit through men, they did not listen.
1:55:52
God has a system of bringing them to His righteous judgment.
1:55:56
But as far as we are concerned, the ministry of truth in love,
1:56:01
backed up with a genuine heart of prayer and passion for the
1:56:05
Body of Christ, remains the end time secret for survival.
1:56:09
As a man of God. You will never hear me open my
1:56:12
mouth to criticize a church, to criticize another man of God.
1:56:16
And far be it from me to criticize the fathers of faith.
1:56:19
There are fathers no matter what they do.
1:56:22
Your own is to pray. Their age and their track record
1:56:25
has shut your mouth forever. The only person who can.
1:56:28
Really talk to them is God. Are we together?
1:56:33
Yes, these are protocols in the body of Christ that most people
1:56:39
do not understand. For this course, many are weak.
1:56:48
For this course, many are sick. For this course many do sleep.
1:56:53
But to wrap up my message, I was talking about the gospel
1:56:56
impacting the quality of your life.
1:56:58
How many of you truly want to know God with all your heart?
1:57:04
How many of you truly want to be transformed?
1:57:07
How many of you want to be able to take care of your families
1:57:10
and children truly without thinking twice?
1:57:13
How many of you want to be able to give to the program of God
1:57:16
without thinking twice? How many of you want to live
1:57:19
purposeful lives? That is what the gospel was
1:57:23
designed to do. So in receiving the gospel, do
1:57:26
not receive, do not reject the welfare package that comes with
1:57:30
the gospel. God wants to attend to your
1:57:33
needs and once you have your priorities in place, do not
1:57:38
reject it. Hallelujah, there is food on my
1:57:44
table at. Home.
1:57:45
That's why I can shout and preach even if I fast.
1:57:48
I can shout because I love God, but with a consolation that
1:57:51
there is something on my table. I want to make sure your table
1:57:55
also has something there. So the gospel, the third
1:58:12
dimension of the gospel, is territorial or societal
1:58:16
transformation. And I told you, the gospel must
1:58:18
impact on the moral fabric of society.
1:58:22
The gospel must impact on the quality of lives of the people
1:58:26
within that territory, giving them a sense of empowerment, a
1:58:30
sense of purpose and direction. And finally, the Gospel must
1:58:34
bring advancement in all spheres of society.
1:58:40
First, technological advancement, educational
1:58:43
advancement, advancement in the area of health.
1:58:46
When you read Genesis 41 will not really just write it for
1:58:50
sake of time from verse 30. 7 to 57.
1:58:53
This is the exaltation of Joseph in Egypt.
1:58:58
Joseph's relationship with the God of the Hebrews, the God of
1:59:01
the Bible, was intact. He refused to compromise all
1:59:04
through his stay. It led him to the prison and
1:59:08
after many years God brought him out and Joseph became a Prime
1:59:12
Minister away together by the level of his transformation,
1:59:15
backed up by the spirit of grace.
1:59:18
Now Joseph was put through influence in a position where he
1:59:22
could govern and look what happened to the world because of
1:59:25
one man, the Excellency of his knowing God.
1:59:30
Came and it it translated to the.
1:59:32
Health of Egypt. Even in the place of famine,
1:59:35
imagine if Joseph did not provide that economic solution.
1:59:40
Jacob and all the other sons would have died.
1:59:42
And the program of God would have been aborted.
1:59:44
Can I tell you listen to my message.
1:59:46
Let me refer you to my message commanding salvation over
1:59:49
territories. I told you that our territories
1:59:52
are also evangelists. There is a message only your.
1:59:56
Territory can speak and there is an audience that has been
1:59:59
designed to listen to it. Resolved speak.
2:00:02
Territories speak. You can command salvation like
2:00:06
it happens to an individual. Salvation can happen over
2:00:09
territories. You read the stories of the move
2:00:12
of God across islands like the Fiji island, the wealth revival
2:00:17
and you find out that going hand in glove with the move of God
2:00:21
where advancements in education, advancements in healthcare.
2:00:25
I believe in the gospel that permeates the tripartite nature
2:00:29
of man and then extends to society.
2:00:33
Thank God today for the Christian schools that we have
2:00:36
across this. Nation and the world that
2:00:38
preserve morality, are we together?
2:00:41
And help the the students that are there to keep growing.
2:00:44
Thank God for the Christian hospitals we have today as a
2:00:47
contribution to the health of people.
2:00:49
Thank God for other platforms, technological platforms, and
2:00:54
other platforms that are adding. To the health of society, we
2:01:00
have received the blessings of others.
2:01:02
The world is waiting for your own.
2:01:06
Who are able to preach the gospel today to thousands of
2:01:09
others across the globe because somebody allowed his creativity
2:01:13
to be a tool for the gospel? Hallelujah, yes.
2:01:19
My message tonight is to redefine the Great Commission.
2:01:24
The one who sees the Great Commission only as world
2:01:27
evangelization, that is powerful, but that is only 1 /
2:01:31
3. To one who sees the Gospel as
2:01:34
just discipleship and mentorship, that is wonderful,
2:01:37
but that is 1 / 3. And to one who just focuses on
2:01:41
welfare and well-being without impacting on the hearts, the
2:01:45
spirits and the minds of people, that is also 1 / 3.
2:01:48
It is world evangelization plus discipleship and mentorship plus
2:01:54
societal and territorial transformation that equals the
2:01:58
mandates Jesus gave us. And if we fulfill this mandate
2:02:01
correctly, something will happen to our territories.
2:02:05
Something will happen to the world called before Jesus
2:02:08
returns. This is our mission.
2:02:10
This is why we are here. This is why we breathe.
2:02:13
This is why we learn and do all the things that we do.
2:02:16
We sleep for this reason, we wake up for this reason.
2:02:19
We are spent and we spend for this reason that someday when
2:02:25
everything is said and done, when Jesus returns, he can come
2:02:30
and tell you, well done, good and faithful servant, are we
2:02:35
together? And if you go and meet Him
2:02:37
before he returns, you will still hear.
2:02:40
Well done, good and faithful servant.
2:02:41
Because to be absent in the body is to be present with the Lord.
2:02:45
This is how to live a life of wisdom.
2:02:48
This is how to live a life of value, spending your life just
2:02:52
desiring to build a house or buy a car or even be a preacher or
2:02:57
have a church. As wonderful as that is, it is
2:03:00
very mundane and inferior with respect to this noble call.
2:03:05
And this is not a man of God's call.
2:03:07
This is everybody's call. You can be involved in world
2:03:10
evangelization by praying. I have taught you by being
2:03:14
actively involved in the mission field and by giving.
2:03:18
Can I tell you some of you have never interceded for souls.
2:03:22
Everything about missions is none of your business.
2:03:25
Some of you have never spoken to anybody about Jesus Christ.
2:03:29
Or once in a while, when you feel emotional, look at the lady
2:03:33
who came here to testify. God bless the woman or the man,
2:03:36
the Walker, who? Led that person to Christ.
2:03:38
Thank you for not keeping quiet. Thank you for insisting.
2:03:43
That they come to Jesus Christ and there are some of you as you
2:03:47
are looking at me now your $1.00, your one naira has never
2:03:51
been part of the salvation of any.
2:03:55
I'm not coercing you for your money, but I love you too much.
2:03:57
Do not tell you. Let me tell you the value of
2:04:00
your money is when it has a place in this world mission.
2:04:05
There are very wealthy people across this nation, across the
2:04:08
globe. We give for other causes that
2:04:10
are far. Inferior.
2:04:13
To world evangelization, let me challenge you the resources that
2:04:17
God gives you. There is part of it that is for
2:04:21
his program. There is part of it that is for
2:04:23
your. Blessing.
2:04:24
It is the truth. World evangelization?
2:04:27
How about discipleship? When you invite people to
2:04:30
church, you are not just trying to increase the membership of a
2:04:34
man of God's ministry. No, that is an erroneous
2:04:37
orientation. When you invite people to
2:04:39
church, you are participating in this second phase of the the
2:04:45
Great Commission, he said. Go and compel them.
2:04:48
Go and compel them. Go to the byways and the
2:04:51
highways. Compel them to come, that my
2:04:53
house shall be filled. Lord Jesus himself gave that
2:04:57
instruction. I was glad when they said unto
2:05:00
me, When you are going to church and you hold someone and say,
2:05:02
Please, I'm inviting you. I think you want to be blessed.
2:05:06
The person comes to sit down. That person is ACEO, employing
2:05:10
1000 people. You just brought 1000 people to
2:05:13
church in one man. His transformation translates to
2:05:16
the health of 1000 people. Am I right on that?
2:05:21
Yes, everybody's connected to somebody, somewhere, somehow,
2:05:26
and when you give them an opportunity to hear the truth,
2:05:28
like some of you who are hearing now imagine those who have
2:05:31
travelled from all across the globe to be here, they return
2:05:34
back with this renewed orientation.
2:05:37
Impact is one life I have taught you at a time.
2:05:41
But one million is 1 in one million places.
2:05:45
Every time you remove 1, you are literally removing 1,000,000.
2:05:49
It is 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 again plus another one.
2:05:55
That equals 1,000,000. The one soul you brought to
2:05:58
church is among the 1,000,000 who have come.
2:06:01
You have made your own contribution to bring your one.
2:06:05
Are we together now? Yes.
2:06:07
How do governments raise money? They raise money from taxpayers,
2:06:11
and what the taxpayer may pay as an individual may not be much,
2:06:15
but combine it and it becomes trillions of U.S. dollars,
2:06:19
trillions of naira, and that's what they run the economy of
2:06:23
nations with. Ladies and gentlemen, hear me.
2:06:26
Your life must be actively. Involved.
2:06:29
In discipleship, it is not just to the man.
2:06:32
If you cannot preach, you can get the truth across to someone.
2:06:36
Technology and social media has made it.
2:06:38
Instead of promoting all kinds of godless things, your life can
2:06:41
be an active contributor, getting the truth to as many who
2:06:45
need to hear. And then the third phase is our
2:06:48
business societal transformation.
2:06:51
Let me ask you 2 questions I asked you before, you didn't
2:06:54
answer the last time. I hope you answer now whose life
2:06:57
has been blessed, because you are life.
2:06:59
Has someone gone to school because you gave your life to
2:07:01
Jesus? Has someone been able to eat
2:07:04
today or tomorrow or any day because you are alive?
2:07:08
Do you know how excellent and how healthy it is to live
2:07:12
knowing that your life is contributing to someone?
2:07:15
Look at the young lad that Andrew brought.
2:07:18
That boy had his five loaf and two fish.
2:07:20
Maybe for him and a few friends. And Jesus said, can you allow us
2:07:23
use this and let us feed many? You will not be at a loss.
2:07:26
The Bible does not tell us who took the 12 baskets, but if I
2:07:29
were Jesus I would give it to the young lad.
2:07:36
Hallelujah. When it's all been said and
2:07:45
done, there is just one thing that matters.
2:07:53
Did I do my best to live for truth?
2:07:58
Did I live my life for you? When it's all been said and
2:08:06
done? All my treasures feel me
2:08:10
nothing. Only what I've done for Love's
2:08:17
reward will stand the test of time.
2:08:23
Lord, Your mercy is so great that you look beyond our
2:08:30
weakness and find precious troll in Mary clay, turning sinners
2:08:40
into sayings. And I will always sing your
2:08:45
praise here on earth and ever after.
2:08:54
Or you've told me, heavens, my true home, when it's all been
2:09:00
said and done. You're my life when life is
2:09:06
done. The day I was told Miles Monroe
2:09:14
had gone to be with the Lord, I was in worry for a meeting and
2:09:17
when they called me and said this man just had a plane crash,
2:09:21
at first I said God why? But then I remembered that it is
2:09:26
not the amount of time we leave that matters, but to the degree
2:09:29
to which our lives are spent in making this happen.
2:09:34
The day I heard that the great patriarch of Faith, Billy Graham
2:09:38
had gone to be with the Lord, I said this is one of the few men
2:09:41
on earth who finished his assignment and stood back and
2:09:44
was waiting. He literally had finished.
2:09:48
He spent his life going from pillar to post.
2:09:51
The day I heard that Reinhard Bunker had left, I thank God for
2:09:55
the privilege to have been in his crusades and I said this man
2:09:58
gave his life. He said Africa shall be saved.
2:10:02
We are products of his prophecy today.
2:10:06
Not too long ago, I had that Pat Robinson, the founder of CBN 700
2:10:11
Club, who had inspired so many people in his late 90s, just a
2:10:17
little step to be 100. He passed on to be with the
2:10:20
Lord. You see they are going.
2:10:22
There is a generational shift happening.
2:10:25
But while many of us are just admiring and boiling and
2:10:28
waiting, we have insulted the fathers and some of them have
2:10:32
said you've insulted us. We are going now.
2:10:34
We are moving step by step getting to that stage.
2:10:38
If we do not understand what the Great Commission is, the day
2:10:42
that the light of the nations come upon us, let it not be that
2:10:46
we will mislead a generation and then the ones we raise come and
2:10:49
begin to correct us too. And that correction will be
2:10:52
harsh because they will say you spoke about those who went
2:10:55
before you. You did not show messy.
2:10:57
Now look at it, You are messing up my mission as a man of God.
2:11:01
To not is not to do everything. I've not been called to do
2:11:03
everything. I do not know everything, but
2:11:06
mine is to spend my life serving you, serving Jesus, serving the
2:11:10
nations, serving my generation with all that I have in life and
2:11:14
in death, serving Him sincerely, making our own contribution.
2:11:20
This is all. I don't preach the gospel
2:11:22
because I'm a preacher. I preach the gospel because I'm
2:11:25
a child of God. Are we together now?
2:11:31
So the one who is saying I am waiting until the day I'm an
2:11:35
ordained pastor, you're already a hypocrite from beginning.
2:11:39
Everyone should leave this service today with a renewed
2:11:43
passion for souls. You may not have the privilege
2:11:46
to do one-on-one evangelism, but can you take one day in a week
2:11:50
to pray for souls? One day in a week to pray for
2:11:53
those in the mission fields? What of some of you who can give
2:11:57
you find a ministry that is involved in soul waiting on the
2:12:00
transformation of people? That is where your seats should
2:12:02
go. How about participating in
2:12:05
seeing that people are saved? A few minutes from now I'm going
2:12:09
to be making an altar call and I know that there are many
2:12:12
tonight. Whilst you are listening, there
2:12:15
are many who will come here. You don't know the joy in my
2:12:17
heart when I see people leave their seats and come to stand
2:12:20
here. It does not just show that a
2:12:22
preacher is anointed, it shows that Jesus is winning, that he's
2:12:27
winning in Nigeria, He's winning in America, he's winning in UK,
2:12:31
in US, everywhere. This is why we do the things
2:12:35
that we're doing. Hallelujah.
2:12:39
And so believe us, hear me, For some of you who have been called
2:12:43
by God and you have ignored the call, you may not have the
2:12:46
privilege to head a ministry. You may not even have a
2:12:48
privilege to be global in terms of ministerial impact, But that
2:12:53
which he has given you. The hymn writer says, I'll do as
2:12:57
it beats me, whatever the cost. I'll be a true soldier.
2:13:06
You've forgotten the song. Remember it all.
2:13:10
It pays to serve Jesus. I sing from my heart.
2:13:15
You'll always be with us. I can't remember the rest now.
2:13:24
Do you know, hold on, do you know years ago people would sing
2:13:28
these songs and cry? They really believed it and they
2:13:32
meant it. I love him far better.
2:13:40
I'll serve you more truly than ever before.
2:13:44
I'll do I sleep each me whatever the course, I'll be a true.
2:13:51
Soldier, I'll die on my own. I'll be here serving you all of
2:14:04
the days of my life. I'll be here serving you all of
2:14:16
the days of my life. Lord, I'll be here worshipping
2:14:28
all of the days of my life. I'll be here.
2:14:35
Worship, we're wrapping up. Go back and listen to this
2:14:47
message redefining the Great Commission.
2:14:51
Don't assume you understood everything I said.
2:14:53
When you go back, sit. Down and listen, let the Spirit
2:14:57
of God breathe and let your destiny come out of this message
2:15:03
that you will see the role that God has called you to play,
2:15:06
whether in business, whether in ministry, what you call purpose
2:15:10
and destiny is simply the role you have to.
2:15:13
Play as far as this Kingdom advanced this mandate is
2:15:17
concerned. My greatest desire is to bring
2:15:20
joy to the heart of the Master in and through my life by
2:15:23
serving Him as best. As I can.
2:15:26
Taking advantage of all the graces He's made available unto
2:15:29
me. And this is my proposition for
2:15:32
you tonight. Now that you know these things,
2:15:34
may you be happy and blessed if you do them.
2:15:37
Rise up on your feet. Please rise up on your feet.
2:15:44
Hallelujah. We're going to pray 2 prayer
2:15:47
points. But I just feel steady in my
2:15:49
heart to make the altar call. Then we'll pray the two prayer
2:15:52
points. I do not need to tell you any
2:15:54
other thing. Again, you've heard the message.
2:15:56
You need Jesus. World evangelization includes
2:16:00
you if you're yet to make it right with Jesus.
2:16:04
And I'm talking to a dear brother, a dear sister, father,
2:16:07
mother, colleague, relative. You may be seated in this
2:16:11
auditorium and all the overflows following online and Jesus is
2:16:16
telling you it's time to make it right with me.
2:16:19
Rededicating your life to Jesus or making that decision the 1st.
2:16:22
Time. Wherever you are, I want you to
2:16:25
please leave your seat and come and stand right here as bold as
2:16:29
you can, knowing that you're coming to Jesus.
2:16:33
God bless you. Come, come, come.
2:16:38
Let's give them a big, big hand clap.
2:16:41
Even so, come Yeshua, come. Even so, take your bride away.
2:16:54
Keep clapping as they come. Oh, my soul longs to see your
2:17:00
face, my love, even. So.
2:17:36
Who longs to see your face, my Lord?
2:17:40
Even so, Even so, thank you. Thank you for coming to Jesus.
2:17:55
I see my footballer friend, when you are saved, I'll pray over
2:17:57
your football career. But now let's do the business of
2:18:00
Jesus. Hallelujah.
2:18:02
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. I know that there are many more
2:18:06
across the overflows and someone may be watching by way of
2:18:09
television, Internet, perhaps a rebroadcast.
2:18:14
It is never too late to make it right with Jesus.
2:18:17
As I lead these precious ones in prayer, I want you to join with
2:18:20
your heart open, knowing that you're in the presence of Jesus.
2:18:24
Can I request all of you who are in front, please lift your right
2:18:27
hand in total surrender to Jesus?
2:18:30
And would you say this after me, say Lord Jesus tonight?
2:18:35
I have heard your word. I believe that you died for my
2:18:40
sin. I believe that you rose again
2:18:45
for my justification. Right now I receive Jesus into
2:18:52
my heart as my Savior, as my Lord, and as my King.
2:19:00
I declare that the power of sin. Satan, hell and the grave is
2:19:10
broken over my life. I am a child of God.
2:19:14
Don't be ashamed of your tears. Say I'm a child of God.
2:19:18
From tonight I go for whatever. And back whatever.
2:19:25
Amen. Keep your hands lifted and let
2:19:27
me pray for you. Come in today, coming to stay,
2:19:35
coming to my heart. Lord Jesus, coming to day,
2:19:46
coming to stay, coming to my heart.
2:19:57
I declare over you, my dear brothers and sisters, that the
2:20:00
power of sin, Satan, hell, and the grave is broken over your
2:20:03
life based on the authority of Scripture.
2:20:06
I declare your sins forgiving, and I declare that you begin a
2:20:10
fresh walk today in the name of Jesus Christ, may the Lord.
2:20:14
Bless you. The power to live a victorious
2:20:17
Christian life I release upon you right now and I declare you
2:20:21
go from glory to glory and from grace to grace.
2:20:25
The past is gone. You step into a new beginning.
2:20:28
In Jesus mighty name we have prayed Hallelujah.
2:20:33
Now let me request that you please follow.
2:20:35
The counselors there are counselors who are waving the
2:20:38
placard. All of you together.
2:20:40
My footballer friend, you are blessed that in Jesus name you
2:20:44
love Jesus will play your football and God will lift you
2:20:47
in Jesus name. Let's appreciate them as they
2:20:50
follow the counselors. Hallelujah.
2:20:56
Thank you for your patience. Now 2 prayer points and we're
2:21:00
done very quickly. Prayer point #1 Lord, I am
2:21:04
available. Use me for your glory.
2:21:07
As far as? Fulfilling the mandate of the
2:21:09
Great Commission is concerned. Please lift your voice and.
2:21:12
Pray someone. Pray someone.
2:21:17
Pray. Go ahead and pray.
2:21:21
Is someone praying? I'm available.
2:21:23
I'm available in the name of Jesus Christ.
2:21:31
I'm yours, Jesus, I'm yours forevermore.
2:22:10
Jesus, that whatever you want to do in and through my.
2:22:20
Life as a contribution towards fulfilling the Great Commission.
2:22:25
My life is available. Send me, Isaiah said.
2:22:30
Here am I send me, He said. Who shall I send and who shall
2:22:33
go for us? God is speaking to someone.
2:22:39
I'm yours Jesus, I'm yours forevermore.
2:22:51
I'm yours Jesus, I'm yours forevermore.
2:23:01
Pray my life, my energy. My intellect, my qualifications,
2:23:08
my beauty, my resources, everything towards Kingdom come,
2:23:14
everything towards global missions, everything towards
2:23:19
discipleship, towards territorial transformation.
2:23:24
Whoever you want to live, Lord, you can live through me.
2:23:36
Whoever you want to say, Lord, you can say through me.
2:23:46
Whatever you want to say, Lord, you can say through me.
2:23:58
Whatever you want to start, Lord, you can start through me.
2:24:09
And whatever you want to end, Lord, you can end through me.
2:24:22
I'm the old Jesus and yours forevermore, and yours, Lord
2:24:38
Jesus and yours forevermore. Final prayer point.
2:24:46
And I want you to please listen. Then we pray and we're done for
2:24:49
this service, Father, because I have pledged my life.
2:24:54
Every resource I need make it available unto me.
2:24:58
For some of you what you need is finances to make you an
2:25:02
effective witness. Some of you what you need are
2:25:05
strategic relationships. Some of you are fresh graces and
2:25:09
mantels from heaven. Some of you say higher level of
2:25:12
enlightenment. Lift your voice and pray God is
2:25:15
able to make all grace are bound towards you for the purpose of
2:25:20
Kingdom come. Is someone praying?
2:25:22
Lift your voice. All that is required.
2:25:25
I receive. I receive the resources, the
2:25:30
influence, access, power, revelation, the embracing for
2:25:36
signs and wonders, capacity to foot all kinds of Kingdom deals.
2:25:42
I obtain grace. Go ahead and pray.
2:25:50
Go ahead and pray. You.
2:26:29
Wanna be where you are, Gotta be where you are.
2:26:38
Wanna be where you are? Gotta be where?
2:26:44
You. Are Hallelujah.
2:26:50
Pray. For the Great Commission like
2:26:52
never before, become an active soul winner like never before.
2:26:58
Become an active Kingdom financier like never before.
2:27:02
Let your life content for knowledge first for your own
2:27:06
growth and then that it will give you the platform to be able
2:27:09
to mentor and help and build others methodically and
2:27:14
accurately. And then by all means, may your
2:27:18
life become a source of of contribution towards territorial
2:27:23
transformation when it has to do with with transforming
2:27:27
territories. The mission is not just for
2:27:29
Christians. The mission is for all of God's
2:27:32
creation. Let someone eat because you are
2:27:34
a Christian. Let someone go to school.
2:27:37
Because you are a Christian, let someone have an opportunity to
2:27:40
go off the street of prostitution, of drugs.
2:27:43
Because you are a Christian. For he sends rain to the
2:27:46
righteous. And even the unrighteous, there
2:27:48
is a dimension of godliness that must bless all and sundry
2:27:52
without prejudice and without any biases of religion.
2:27:56
This is the mandate Jesus gave. Let me pray for you now, Father,
2:28:00
in the name of Jesus. Tonight I pray for every
2:28:04
precious person here, the end gracing, to be an effective
2:28:07
witness to be an active part of the Great Commission.
2:28:12
I declare that. Grace rests upon you now in the
2:28:17
name of Jesus Christ. Receive it in Jesus.
2:28:19
Name the grace to preach, the grace to teach, the grace to
2:28:24
demonstrate with your life. Receive it in Jesus name and I
2:28:29
pray for you because your heart is stayed on God's program
2:28:34
resources like you have never seen.
2:28:36
May. God, gravitate strange resources
2:28:38
to your life in the name of Jesus Christ.
2:28:43
You will handle wealth beyond your imagination.
2:28:46
You will handle influence beyond your imagination.
2:28:50
Access. To the hearts of kings and
2:28:52
nobles, in the name of Jesus Christ, and hear me, because you
2:28:57
have made-up your mind to be part of the Great Commission, No
2:29:01
devil would take your life before your time in the name of
2:29:04
Jesus. I bless you with longevity.
2:29:08
In the name of Jesus. Anyone here under the sound of
2:29:11
my voice are pointed unto death, either by accident, by sickness,
2:29:17
by some demonic or diabolic means.
2:29:20
It is hereby cancelled in Jesus name.
2:29:25
Yeah, me, for the sake of your overall spiritual health.
2:29:30
Spilling to your financial health and your.
2:29:32
Family, everything that is a source of concern that is
2:29:36
stopping you from concentrating on the Great Commission.
2:29:39
May my God solve it now. It is a financial problem.
2:29:45
May my God solve it now. Listen.
2:29:50
It says he that told you have. Asked for nothing.
2:29:52
Ask and you shall receive that your joy might be.
2:29:55
Full, I pray. Again, whatever is a destruction
2:29:58
to your Christian life that will not allow you to find peace.
2:30:02
Whether it is? Your bills, whether it's lack of
2:30:05
a job, whether whatever issue in whatever area, I decree and
2:30:10
declare. May my God visit you and give
2:30:12
you rest. Visit you and give you rest.
2:30:20
I speak to. Every ministry here in the name
2:30:23
of Jesus. Fresh grace and fresh.
2:30:25
Dimension of power I speak. To every business here, receive
2:30:30
grace to scale heights in business.
2:30:33
I pray for everyone in government, every captain of
2:30:36
industry. In the name of Jesus, be
2:30:39
empowered. For the next.
2:30:40
Level. And we pray specifically for all
2:30:46
those who are currently in the mission field.
2:30:48
There are all kinds of mission fields in Nigeria.
2:30:51
In Iraq, across. Several.
2:30:53
African places far north, there are people who have pledged
2:30:57
their lives. Some of them have died.
2:30:59
Some of them, their relatives last saw them on their way to
2:31:02
the mission field. In the name of Jesus, we pray.
2:31:05
Fresh grace upon our missionaries, fresh grace upon
2:31:11
those in the villages, the hinterlands, in the name of
2:31:14
Jesus Christ. And we decree and declare, let
2:31:19
it please the Lord, that in their lifetime they will see the
2:31:22
fruits of their sacrifices, and we also.
2:31:26
Pray for families that have literally donated their
2:31:30
children, their spouses. For the work of the.
2:31:33
Kingdom in the name of Jesus, you.
2:31:35
Will not regret saying yes to Jesus, for in Jesus mighty and
2:31:42
