- 1:03Speaker 2: please be seated as kings and queens in God's presence.
- 1:09Speaker 2: So we start a new series today. Who is excited?
- 1:17Speaker 2: And I think this is quite particular because many people
- 1:26Speaker 2: are in situations where it feels like you are in
- 1:30Speaker 2: a fix. Alright? And there's a need for the wisdom
- 1:35Speaker 2: of God's word with which you can come out of
- 1:38Speaker 2: that fix. Amen. So it's going to be a lot practical. Alright?
- 1:45Speaker 2: It's going to be a lot practical for everyone to
- 1:52Speaker 2: be able to relate to and be a part of. Amen.
- 2:00Speaker 2: Now I want to show you a scripture. Turn the
- 2:03Speaker 2: Bible to the book of 1 Samuel chapter number 16.
- 2:11Speaker 2: 1 Samuel chapter number 16. We'll start the reading from
- 2:21Speaker 2: verse 1. 1 Samuel chapter number 16. We'll start the
- 2:25Speaker 2: reading from verse 1. Now this is a conversation between
- 2:28Speaker 2: God and Samuel. Now the Lord speaking to Samuel said,
- 2:33Speaker 2: How long will you mourn for Saul, seeing I have
- 2:38Speaker 2: rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill your horn with
- 2:43Speaker 2: oil and go. I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite,
- 2:50Speaker 2: for I have provided me a king among his sons.
- 2:56Speaker 3: Amen.
- 2:57Speaker 2: That's the word of the Lord concerning to Samuel. Okay? Amen.
- 3:07Speaker 2: And in verse 2, And Samuel said, How can I go?
- 3:14Speaker 2: If Saul hear it, he will kill me. And the
- 3:17Speaker 2: Lord said, Take an ephah with you and say, I
- 3:20Speaker 2: come to sacrifice to the Lord. You know, many people
- 3:22Speaker 2: have read this scripture and say, God taught him to lie.
- 3:26Speaker 2: Is he looking like it? Nigerians. What did God say
- 3:33Speaker 2: you should go and do? Huh? I'm not a king, right?
- 3:37Speaker 2: He said, this guy is going to find out and
- 3:40Speaker 2: he's going to kill me. What did God say you
- 3:42Speaker 2: should say? Talk now. You are trying to defend God.
- 3:49Speaker 2: What did God say you should say? Was that what
- 3:54Speaker 2: he was going for?
- 3:55Speaker 4: Okay.
- 3:56Speaker 2: Okay. Add it to your question list to ask him. Amen.
- 4:05Speaker 2: Let me jump a bit. Are you still with me?
- 4:12Speaker 2: Now let's jump a bit to verse 6. Let's start
- 4:20Speaker 2: reading from verse 5. And he said, Peaceably I am
- 4:24Speaker 2: come to sacrifice to the Lord, Sanctify yourselves and come
- 4:27Speaker 2: with me to sacrifice. And he sanctified Jesse and his
- 4:30Speaker 2: sons and called them to sacrifice. Verse 6. And it
- 4:34Speaker 2: came to pass, when they were come, that they looked
- 4:36Speaker 2: on Eliab and said, Surely the Lord's anointed is before him.
- 4:43Speaker 2: But the Lord said to Samuel, Look not on his countenance,
- 4:47Speaker 2: nor on the height of his stature. because I have
- 4:50Speaker 2: refused him. For the Lord sees not as man sees.
- 4:53Speaker 2: For man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord
- 4:57Speaker 2: looks on the heart. And Jesse called Abinadab and made
- 5:03Speaker 2: him pass before Samuel and said, Neither has the Lord
- 5:06Speaker 2: chosen this. Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by and said,
- 5:10Speaker 2: Neither has the Lord chosen this. Again, Jesse made seven
- 5:14Speaker 2: of his sons to pass before Samuel. And Samuel said
- 5:18Speaker 2: to Jesse, The Lord has not chosen this. And Samuel
- 5:22Speaker 2: said to Jesse, I hear all your children. And he said,
- 5:26Speaker 2: There remain yet the youngest. Behold, he keep the sheep.
- 5:29Speaker 2: And Samuel said to Jesse, Send and fetch him, for
- 5:33Speaker 2: we will not sit till he come here. And he
- 5:38Speaker 2: sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy and
- 5:42Speaker 2: with of a beautiful countenance and goodly to look to.
- 5:46Speaker 2: And the Lord said, Arise, anoint him, for this is he.
- 5:52Speaker 2: Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him
- 5:55Speaker 2: in the middle of his brothers. And the Spirit of
- 5:58Speaker 2: the Lord came upon David. For from that day forward,
- 6:02Speaker 2: Samuel rose up and went to Ramah. Very, very dramatic story.
- 6:10Speaker 2: It looks like the dream of every Christian. That there
- 6:19Speaker 2: will be a dramatic aspect of our lives. True? How
- 6:23Speaker 2: many of you have gone for meetings and saw a
- 6:27Speaker 2: very powerful man of God call somebody out by the
- 6:29Speaker 2: spirit of prophecy and give the person fantastic word about
- 6:34Speaker 2: God's intention, about the person's life, and now that God
- 6:36Speaker 2: is going to do amazing things through the person, and
- 6:39Speaker 2: you were there, and it looked like God was quiet,
- 6:42Speaker 2: and you wish that it was you? Raise your hand.
- 6:46Speaker 2: Me too.
- 6:47Speaker 3: Okay.
- 6:49Speaker 2: As they were giving the person the word of prophecy,
- 6:51Speaker 2: it looked like that person is the only one with destiny.
- 6:58Speaker 2: And you were wondering, what did I come with? How
- 7:01Speaker 2: many of you are here that up till now, that
- 7:06Speaker 2: kind of situation has never happened in your life till now?
- 7:09Speaker 2: Wave your hand. Me too. Fantastic. How many of you
- 7:16Speaker 2: still desire that one day it will happen? Okay, come out.
- 7:25Speaker 2: Let me get you baptized in the Holy Ghost. Amen.
- 7:34Speaker 2: I think this story is a very powerful story. And
- 7:40Speaker 2: I'm going somewhere. A young boy. Theologians believe he was
- 7:47Speaker 2: about 12 years between the age of 12 to 14.
- 7:52Speaker 2: And in a very dramatic way, suddenly one day, from
- 7:58Speaker 2: being a shepherd boy to being anointed as a king
- 8:04Speaker 2: in the presence of his brothers by the most powerful
- 8:08Speaker 2: prophet in the land. I would have loved to give
- 8:15Speaker 2: an illustration. An illustration. Let me share a story with you.
- 8:22Speaker 2: One time, are you with me? In the middle of
- 8:30Speaker 2: what I would describe as a season of stagnancy, I
- 8:36Speaker 2: had a dream. Because, you know, it is very easy
- 8:41Speaker 2: to believe that you are a David until you know
- 8:45Speaker 2: what it feels like to be an Eliabu. So I
- 8:50Speaker 2: was going through a very dry season. Then I had
- 8:54Speaker 2: a dream. In that vision, then I was serving. I
- 9:00Speaker 2: was serving as a pastor in the redeemed Christian church
- 9:06Speaker 2: of God. So I had a vision that many of
- 9:11Speaker 2: us were on cue to be ordained in camp. Yeah.
- 9:19Speaker 2: I need to describe this vision in the most graphical way. Please,
- 9:24Speaker 2: those of you in front, please form a queue. Quickly, quickly. So,
- 9:29Speaker 2: this was what I saw in my dream. Okay? Baba
- 9:33Speaker 2: was standing here. And please come the next person and
- 9:36Speaker 2: he will pour the oil. Ordain the person. Power of
- 9:38Speaker 2: the Holy Ghost. Go back to your seat. Then he
- 9:40Speaker 2: will come to the person. pour the oil, or then
- 9:42Speaker 2: the person, you go back to your seat. Then he
- 9:44Speaker 2: will pour the oil, or then the person, you go
- 9:46Speaker 2: back to your seat. He will pour the oil, or
- 9:48Speaker 2: then the person, you go back to your seat. He
- 9:49Speaker 2: will pour the oil, or then the person, go back
- 9:52Speaker 2: to your seat. Then I was the last guy. Then
- 9:55Speaker 2: when he got to my turn, he said, hey, the
- 9:57Speaker 2: oil has finished. In the dream. If my life was
- 10:07Speaker 2: going well, that dream would not be something deep. In
- 10:12Speaker 2: the middle of a major dry season, it felt like
- 10:15Speaker 2: God was against me. Imagine a man you so love
- 10:20Speaker 2: and revere and honor. And now you are seeing people
- 10:25Speaker 2: come and tell you, I had a dream. I saw
- 10:26Speaker 2: that you annoyed me. Me, I had a dream. I said,
- 10:29Speaker 2: this oil is finished. Let me tell you. I carried
- 10:40Speaker 2: the pain and the fear of what that may mean
- 10:46Speaker 2: for five years. It doesn't matter what I was doing
- 10:51Speaker 2: in ministry. The devil kept telling me, God has rejected you.
- 11:00Speaker 2: You had a dream. Angel even hugged you. Angel Gabriel
- 11:06Speaker 2: hugged you. Inside your dream. For somebody who has a
- 11:09Speaker 2: call to ministry, do you know what that means? It
- 11:15Speaker 2: was years later. I was seated in a meeting like this.
- 11:21Speaker 2: It was my father and the Lord that was preaching.
- 11:24Speaker 2: And the Lord said, there are people here who had
- 11:28Speaker 2: powerful visions but misinterpreted it. Are you following what I'm
- 11:36Speaker 2: saying here? He said there are people here who God
- 11:38Speaker 2: showed something very powerful but they got the interpretation wrong.
- 11:43Speaker 2: And it has affected major aspects of their life. The
- 11:46Speaker 2: vision of Sphere of Light Church ought to have started
- 11:49Speaker 2: years before. We could not start because I saw a
- 11:52Speaker 2: dream that said oil had finished. When he gave that
- 11:59Speaker 2: word of prophecy, I sat in that meeting with tears.
- 12:02Speaker 2: I remember there's one dream like that. I have not
- 12:06Speaker 2: forgotten for five years. That same night I went to
- 12:09Speaker 2: bed and I had the same dream again. This time around,
- 12:15Speaker 2: I saw myself standing on that queue. New batch of
- 12:19Speaker 2: people had come, new generations, new generations. I was still there,
- 12:23Speaker 2: wailing and wailing and wailing. Then he said to me,
- 12:28Speaker 2: what are you doing on that queue? This queue is
- 12:31Speaker 2: for those who are to be ordained as pastors in
- 12:34Speaker 2: the redeemed Christian Church of God. The other queue is
- 12:38Speaker 2: for you, those who believe in what I carry. This
- 12:41Speaker 2: is where you should have been. Sometimes stagnation can come
- 12:52Speaker 2: because of one misunderstanding of what God is saying. And
- 13:00Speaker 2: somebody is in the fix. Held up! Held up! Truly
- 13:08Speaker 2: God spoke. I read something alright. The book by John C.
- 13:18Speaker 2: Maxwell Leadership Gold. He was talking about communication.
- 13:24Speaker 3: All right?
- 13:25Speaker 2: Are you with me? He was talking about communication. Then
- 13:28Speaker 2: he gave a story about two guys. He referred to
- 13:33Speaker 2: them as Lumberjacks. I'd like to recommend that book for
- 13:36Speaker 2: people who want to grow in leadership. He said two Lumberjacks,
- 13:39Speaker 2: that is those who are cutting trees, went to the
- 13:41Speaker 2: forest to cut trees. And while they were busy cutting
- 13:44Speaker 2: the tree, the axe, the iron part, hit the other guy,
- 13:48Speaker 2: the blunt part, and he passed out. Okay? Came out
- 13:52Speaker 2: of the wood, hit the guy in the head, he
- 13:53Speaker 2: passed out. Then the other guy called 911. And said, hey, 911,
- 14:00Speaker 2: my friend is here, he's dying. And the fellow at
- 14:03Speaker 2: the other side of the call said, relax, relax. At
- 14:07Speaker 2: least let's be sure he's dead before you start shouting.
- 14:10Speaker 2: The guy said, okay. Okay. Then the fellow on the
- 14:15Speaker 2: other side of the line heard the loud gunshot. I said,
- 14:19Speaker 2: now I'm sure he's dead. You know what he did?
- 14:24Speaker 2: So since he's dead, he went to kill him tomorrow.
- 14:27Speaker 2: The guy only passed out. What the fellow was communicating is,
- 14:31Speaker 2: don't shout. This fellow may still be alive. What he
- 14:34Speaker 2: heard is, make sure he's dead. It is not enough
- 14:39Speaker 2: that God spoke. It is important you understand it. Something
- 14:46Speaker 2: accurate that God said can stagnate you for life if
- 14:49Speaker 2: you don't understand it. Are you following what I'm saying?
- 14:53Speaker 2: Are you sure I should teach this teaching in my
- 14:54Speaker 2: full capacity? Are you sure? Let me teach you something.
- 14:57Speaker 2: One of the ways to stay under a prophetic teacher
- 15:00Speaker 2: is to learn how to reciprocate. If you don't know
- 15:04Speaker 2: how to respond, you will not get what is yours.
- 15:07Speaker 2: Are you following what I'm saying here? Very important. God
- 15:10Speaker 2: can say something very accurate. And somebody gets it wrong.
- 15:16Speaker 2: Speed in a wrong direction is still stagnation. What did
- 15:23Speaker 2: I say? Speed in a wrong direction is still what? Stagnation.
- 15:29Speaker 2: So when you look at the story of David, Samuel
- 15:32Speaker 2: came and ordained him in the presence of his brethren.
- 15:39Speaker 2: And what's the next thing you will expect from David?
- 15:42Speaker 2: That this is the next generation of people that God
- 15:48Speaker 2: is going to use. Let's take some bones tonight. I
- 15:56Speaker 2: want to reverse a bit. Is that okay? Let's do
- 15:59Speaker 2: prophetic teaching. I just sense God just reviving me a bit.
- 16:02Speaker 2: Let me not just go. Let's do some prophetic teaching.
- 16:05Speaker 2: Let me show you something. The book of Joel, chapter
- 16:08Speaker 2: number 2. Let's start reading from verse 28. Verse 28.
- 16:15Speaker 2: Joel chapter number 2 verse 28. I want to show
- 16:24Speaker 2: you something. Ah, Father, please pray. Please pray. We don't
- 16:31Speaker 2: know how this service will end tonight because there's going
- 16:33Speaker 2: to be an outburst. Please pray. Please pray. Please pray.
- 16:36Speaker 2: Pray for revelation. Quickly.
- 16:37Speaker 3: Quickly.
- 16:38Speaker 2: Pray the Holy Ghost. Quickly. Quickly. Quickly. Quickly. Pray the
- 16:41Speaker 2: Holy Ghost. Quickly. Quickly. Pray in the Holy Ghost. Pray, pray, pray, pray, pray, pray. Revelation, revelation.
- 17:08Speaker 2: Somebody is coming out. Somebody is finding where God is.
- 17:11Speaker 2: Somebody is catching his spirit tonight. The eyes of someone
- 17:15Speaker 2: is opening. Scales are falling off. In Jesus mighty name
- 17:32Speaker 2: we are praying. Sit down. Let me show you something.
- 17:36Speaker 2: Is that okay? Can I teach? Are you sure? Let
- 17:41Speaker 2: me show you something. Let's look at one of the
- 17:44Speaker 2: things that the Bible said. It's the signs of the
- 17:46Speaker 2: end time. Look at, please pay attention to what I
- 17:50Speaker 2: want to show you. Joel 2.28 says, And it shall
- 17:53Speaker 2: come to pass afterwards that I will pour out my
- 17:55Speaker 2: Spirit upon all flesh. Your sons and daughters shall prophesy,
- 17:58Speaker 2: your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall
- 18:00Speaker 2: see visions. And also on the servant and on the
- 18:03Speaker 2: handmaid in those days I will pour out my Spirit,
- 18:06Speaker 2: says the Lord. There's a very strong prophetic presence tonight.
- 18:13Speaker 2: I'm trying to hold it. I don't know what is
- 18:16Speaker 2: going to happen tonight, but there's something about tonight. Pray
- 18:19Speaker 2: in the Holy Ghost, people.
- 18:22Speaker 3: Shaka tabaka rate, shente rogo shente.
- 18:26Speaker 2: Kai shade kai. Ileka frades, ileka pai. Reteke rogo shente,
- 18:32Speaker 2: rogo shente. Sheke ne rogo shente. She ne rogo shente,
- 18:38Speaker 2: rogo shente. Amen. Sit down. Thank you, Lord. I've understood
- 18:44Speaker 2: what is happening. There's going to be a lot of
- 18:45Speaker 2: witnesses to the things I'm saying by the manifestations of
- 18:48Speaker 2: the Spirit tonight. Because it is a crucial night. Listen
- 18:54Speaker 2: to what I'm saying. What I'm about to teach tonight
- 18:57Speaker 2: will bring millions out of captivity. Are you following what
- 19:02Speaker 2: I'm saying? Blessed are you because you are the first recipient.
- 19:08Speaker 2: So I want you to please pay keen attention to tonight.
- 19:12Speaker 2: Is that okay now? Now look at this.
- 19:14Speaker 3: Alright.
- 19:15Speaker 2: He said, I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh.
- 19:17Speaker 2: Your sons and daughters shall prophesy. Your old men shall
- 19:20Speaker 2: dream dreams. Your young men shall see visions. Also on
- 19:23Speaker 2: the servant and on the handmaid in those days I
- 19:24Speaker 2: will pour out my spirit. And I will show wonders
- 19:27Speaker 2: in heaven and in hell. Blood and fire. Smoke and
- 19:32Speaker 2: pillars of smoke. Alright. He says, I am going to
- 19:35Speaker 2: show what? Wonders where?
- 19:39Speaker 3: Alright?
- 19:40Speaker 2: And then there's going to be what? Blood. There's going
- 19:42Speaker 2: to be what? Fire. There's going to be pillars of smoke. Alright?
- 19:46Speaker 2: These are prophetic codes. So he says that it will
- 19:51Speaker 2: come to pass in the last days. While there is
- 19:53Speaker 2: an outpouring of the spirit. While sons and daughters are prophesying.
- 19:57Speaker 2: Old men are seeing dreams. Men servants are receiving words
- 20:01Speaker 2: from the Lord. He said the second sign you should
- 20:04Speaker 2: watch out for. Is that there will be wonders in heaven.
- 20:11Speaker 2: And he said, this wonder in heaven is going to
- 20:13Speaker 2: be characterized with blood, then fire. You know, John speaking
- 20:19Speaker 2: says that, I baptize you with water, but another one
- 20:22Speaker 2: is coming that is greater than I. He's going to
- 20:24Speaker 2: baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire. The
- 20:28Speaker 2: word fire there describes that which refines. Describes what? That
- 20:35Speaker 2: which refines. Malachi speaking a word of prophecy says that,
- 20:39Speaker 2: and they will sit upon the sons of Levi as
- 20:42Speaker 2: a purifier of silver. When God wants to purify, He
- 20:47Speaker 2: doesn't stand. He sits. Okay? And those who walk with
- 20:52Speaker 2: silver will tell you that the way you know the
- 20:55Speaker 2: silver is in its pure state is the point where
- 20:57Speaker 2: the refiner can mirror himself in it. That is, God
- 21:01Speaker 2: is not going to round up until you reflect Him.
- 21:06Speaker 2: The process of doing that will look like stagnation. Listen
- 21:11Speaker 2: to what I want to show you. Alright, it said,
- 21:15Speaker 2: and I will show wonders. Somebody say wonders. Say it again, wonders.
- 21:21Speaker 2: In where? Turn your Bibles with me. The book of Ephesians,
- 21:29Speaker 2: chapter number 3. Oh yes. Are you with me? Ephesians
- 21:52Speaker 2: chapter number 3 verse 10. I will read in King
- 21:58Speaker 2: James then I will read in message translation. It says
- 22:03Speaker 2: to the intent that now unto principalities and powers in where?
- 22:07Speaker 2: Talk to me now. In where? Heavenly places. Might be made,
- 22:11Speaker 2: might be known by the church. The manifold wisdom of God.
- 22:15Speaker 2: Give me this in message translation quickly. Ephesians 3.10 message
- 22:19Speaker 2: translation quickly. It said, true Christians like yourselves gathered in churches.
- 22:24Speaker 2: This extraordinary plan of God is becoming known and talked
- 22:28Speaker 2: about even amongst the angels. Give me this in amplified translation.
- 22:33Speaker 2: Pay attention please. Pay attention. True Christians like yourself. There
- 22:38Speaker 2: is something God is unveiling. He said the purpose is
- 22:41Speaker 2: that through the church, the complicated, many-sided wisdom of God
- 22:45Speaker 2: in all its infinite variety and innumerable aspects might be
- 22:49Speaker 2: made known to the angelic rulers and authorities, principalities and
- 22:53Speaker 2: powers in the heavenly space. So, this is the wisdom
- 22:56Speaker 2: of God. If you pick a David and pour the
- 23:00Speaker 2: oil on him, even the devil knows a king is rising.
- 23:04Speaker 2: But when God wants to manifest his complicated wisdom, he
- 23:09Speaker 2: will refuse to anoint the David. He will refuse to.
- 23:16Speaker 2: Samuel will come and will not see him. In the
- 23:21Speaker 2: complicated wisdom of God, he may lead you in a
- 23:24Speaker 2: direction that it doesn't matter how sharp the prophet is,
- 23:27Speaker 2: nobody will pick your destiny.
- 23:28Speaker 3: Amen. Why?
- 23:30Speaker 2: Because the path required for you is the path of faith.
- 23:34Speaker 2: Where you will have to go through the thorns and
- 23:36Speaker 2: be rugged. Sometimes prophecy in the open is the exposure
- 23:42Speaker 2: of the intention. When he wants to reveal what is complicated,
- 23:47Speaker 2: he hides it. When he hides it, listen to this.
- 23:51Speaker 2: When he hides it, listen to what I'm saying. The
- 23:55Speaker 2: person may look miserable on earth, but he's a wonder
- 23:58Speaker 2: in heaven. are you following what i'm teaching you here
- 24:05Speaker 2: everybody will look at this person and say why is
- 24:07Speaker 2: your life like this though obedient faithful submitted to the
- 24:11Speaker 2: plan of god everything others can boast of you will
- 24:14Speaker 2: not have this man is only a wonder in one
- 24:17Speaker 2: realm everyone everyone on earth the bible says as the
- 24:22Speaker 2: heaven is higher than the earth so is my ways.
- 24:27Speaker 2: Meaning that when you look at a man that God
- 24:29Speaker 2: is eating in his wisdom, you cannot conclude based on
- 24:31Speaker 2: the way he's dressing. As a matter of fact, in
- 24:35Speaker 2: the pattern of God leading such people, it will bring
- 24:38Speaker 2: them in their smallest states to places where they can
- 24:41Speaker 2: be despised or disarmed. You see, we may gather like this,
- 24:51Speaker 2: And the person that the move of God will be
- 24:53Speaker 2: centered around may be the one you are despising. Listen
- 24:57Speaker 2: to what I'm saying. Whenever God wants to do wonders,
- 25:02Speaker 2: he hides his men. When God hides you, it is
- 25:08Speaker 2: not like you will not be popular. It is that
- 25:10Speaker 2: your life will actually not be sweet. Because you will
- 25:16Speaker 2: go through despise. Are you feeling what I'm saying? Do
- 25:20Speaker 2: you know what it means for people not to discern
- 25:22Speaker 2: who you are and you know you are anointed? Are
- 25:27Speaker 2: you following what I'm saying? I'm going somewhere. Please be seated.
- 25:31Speaker 2: Go back to that scripture. Let me show you again.
- 25:35Speaker 2: Oh Lord, help me. Are you with me? Can I
- 25:42Speaker 2: teach some more? Okay. So, What the Bible is saying is,
- 25:49Speaker 2: as the coming of Jesus draws near, there's going to
- 25:55Speaker 2: be the emergence of a generation of men that the
- 26:00Speaker 2: Bible refers to. Joel chapter number 2 from verse 30.
- 26:04Speaker 2: They are signs. They are a sign. And when angelic
- 26:14Speaker 2: authorities look at them, they are amazed. They are amazed.
- 26:21Speaker 2: They are amazed. How is he still faithful with all
- 26:25Speaker 2: the things he's going through? How is he still committed
- 26:30Speaker 2: with all the things he's going through? How is he
- 26:33Speaker 2: still serving God with all the disappointments? How is he
- 26:37Speaker 2: still worshipping and dancing in church with all the things
- 26:41Speaker 2: he's going through? You know, angels may not really have
- 26:45Speaker 2: to struggle with worship because they see him as he is.
- 26:49Speaker 2: But we do what we do by faith. That in
- 26:54Speaker 2: the midst of the greatest tribulation. Are you with me?
- 26:59Speaker 2: Let me tell you something. I was ministering somewhere. One
- 27:07Speaker 2: of my friends. He was going through a very dark time.
- 27:12Speaker 2: He's been telling me we need to talk. I didn't understand.
- 27:16Speaker 2: But he stays around the environment. He said he told
- 27:19Speaker 2: himself that if I can sit under his salmon, I
- 27:23Speaker 2: will get an interpretation of my season. And that's one
- 27:26Speaker 2: of the things that happens when I teach. You see yourself.
- 27:30Speaker 2: So he came. He just sat down there. By the
- 27:33Speaker 2: time the meeting was over, he said, now I know
- 27:36Speaker 2: what went wrong. Let me tell you something. He found himself,
- 27:41Speaker 2: I'm just going to say this in quotes, he found
- 27:43Speaker 2: himself in a situation where Where those you will call fathers,
- 27:52Speaker 2: I don't want to mention anybody's name, in the body
- 27:56Speaker 2: of Christ, in one night, about five of them were
- 28:00Speaker 2: in the same place with him alone, not in a dream.
- 28:05Speaker 2: And they joined their hands together and said, kneel down.
- 28:12Speaker 2: Imagine now if a pastor here at Deboe, Bishop of
- 28:15Speaker 2: Deboe and Co., can call you and say, kneel down
- 28:21Speaker 2: and lay hands and speak words. The moment he told
- 28:26Speaker 2: me that happened, I said, you are in trouble. That's
- 28:29Speaker 2: what I told him. I said, you collected it. I said,
- 28:31Speaker 2: you are in trouble. Let me tell you something. Impartation
- 28:35Speaker 2: is in such a way that when you take something
- 28:38Speaker 2: greater than your configuration, you will have to pass the
- 28:40Speaker 2: test for it to manifest. I hope I have not
- 28:47Speaker 2: said something too deep. You think you just... Samuel just
- 28:53Speaker 2: called David in the midst of his brothers. Please go
- 28:55Speaker 2: on your knees. And just poured the oil. What was
- 28:59Speaker 2: in the mind of David? He's just going to get
- 29:01Speaker 2: to the king. Lie, lie. You will pass. When God said,
- 29:08Speaker 2: I have found a man after my heart, he credited
- 29:11Speaker 2: you in advance. The exam to fulfill that, you will
- 29:17Speaker 2: pass it. And part of the requirement is that the
- 29:20Speaker 2: man whose throne you are to sit on will not
- 29:23Speaker 2: die quickly. And you will have the opportunity to kill
- 29:28Speaker 2: him and you are not to. Because when you do,
- 29:32Speaker 2: you have also been rejected. Are you following what I'm saying?
- 29:38Speaker 2: Let's assume they anointed David at 12. It took 18
- 29:42Speaker 2: years of stagnation. How many years? 18 years. What was
- 29:49Speaker 2: his problem? The anointing. I am saying something good can
- 29:54Speaker 2: lead you backwards. How do I help you now? Please
- 30:04Speaker 2: be seated. You know, I've seen people complain that somebody
- 30:08Speaker 2: lay hands on me. Since then, look at my life
- 30:09Speaker 2: was going down. Your life didn't go down. If you
- 30:13Speaker 2: are going to launch a catapult or an arrow, you
- 30:14Speaker 2: strike it backwards first. It is the principle of seed
- 30:19Speaker 2: and harvest. Except a grain of wheat first fall down
- 30:22Speaker 2: and die, it abides alone. So there are certain times
- 30:27Speaker 2: that progress has started. Are you following what I'm saying?
- 30:32Speaker 2: Nobody has arrow here because if you have arrow too,
- 30:34Speaker 2: we'll ask you how. Okay? But if you get an
- 30:38Speaker 2: arrow and then you say, I'm going to shoot this arrow. There,
- 30:43Speaker 2: at that direction. Where is the first direction of the arrow? Backwards.
- 30:51Speaker 2: As progress started. But where did you go first? As
- 31:00Speaker 2: progress started. Yes. While the arrow is backward, somebody is aiming.
- 31:06Speaker 2: Still backward. It will not be launched in a hurry.
- 31:09Speaker 2: Still aiming. And those who are misfiring are being misfired.
- 31:13Speaker 2: And this is why I say, look at them. They
- 31:15Speaker 2: have gone ahead of me. Look at them. They left
- 31:17Speaker 2: me behind. And it's still aiming. Year one, year two,
- 31:20Speaker 2: still aiming. And once it releases, hit the target. You
- 31:25Speaker 2: are not behind. Thank you, sir. Hallelujah.
- 31:30Speaker 3: Oh, glory.
- 31:32Speaker 2: This is not some motivational speech. I'm showing you scriptures.
- 31:37Speaker 2: It is a pattern. The harrow has been aimed. It's
- 31:42Speaker 2: going forward. But it will start backwards. When you begin
- 31:46Speaker 2: to see this pattern in your life, there is a
- 31:49Speaker 2: form of progress you may not be able to explain soon.
- 31:55Speaker 2: When you see a man who is being stretched backwards,
- 31:58Speaker 2: don't conclude yet. The moment there's the release, bam! And
- 32:07Speaker 2: sometimes God can hold.
- 32:10Speaker 5: One year, two years, three years, four years, five years,
- 32:16Speaker 5: six years, seven years, and it's stretching, stretching, stretching, stretching.
- 32:22Speaker 2: And release. Even those who led you to Christ will
- 32:27Speaker 2: say you are wasting away. Look at your life. Look
- 32:30Speaker 2: at you. Look at your mates. It won't rush. Are
- 32:38Speaker 2: you following what I'm saying? Sit down. Let me show
- 32:40Speaker 2: you something. Are you with me? When you look at
- 33:01Speaker 2: the life of Job, what did Job, what did he
- 33:07Speaker 2: do to get into trouble? Let's read the Bible. So
- 33:14Speaker 2: we can look at the offense of Job. Job chapter
- 33:17Speaker 2: number 1. Okay. And the Lord said to Satan, Whence
- 33:20Speaker 2: cometh thou? And he answered the Lord, saying, From going
- 33:22Speaker 2: through and through the earth, and walking up and down
- 33:25Speaker 2: in it. And the Lord said unto Satan, Have you
- 33:28Speaker 2: considered my servant? Job, that there is none like him.
- 33:34Speaker 2: Hold on a minute. Don't be shallow. Just when God
- 33:41Speaker 2: is being proud of you, you are asking him why.
- 33:49Speaker 2: It is not every battle that is family pattern. Some
- 33:54Speaker 2: is divine trust. I can teach on trauma and many
- 34:06Speaker 2: things because God trusted me with a journey. What is
- 34:15Speaker 2: trusting you with? Don't let depression make you throw it away.
- 34:18Speaker 2: You will only go through it in vain. God said
- 34:28Speaker 2: to Satan, have you considered myself and Job that there
- 34:30Speaker 2: is none like him in the earth? A perfect and
- 34:35Speaker 2: upright man. One that feared God and eschewed evil. God.
- 34:41Speaker 2: This was God's report about Job. Verse 8. Verse 9.
- 34:49Speaker 2: And Satan answered the Lord and said, Does Job fear
- 34:52Speaker 2: God for nothing? You know, what this statement means is
- 34:55Speaker 2: that the devil still argues that the reason why you
- 35:01Speaker 2: are fine, why you are serving God, is because you
- 35:03Speaker 2: have all that you need. That was his argument. Have
- 35:10Speaker 2: you not made an hedge about him, and about his house,
- 35:13Speaker 2: and about all that he has on every side, that
- 35:16Speaker 2: you have blessed the works of his hands, and the
- 35:17Speaker 2: substance increased in the land? Yes. But put forth your
- 35:22Speaker 2: hand now, and touch all that he has, and it
- 35:24Speaker 2: will curse you to your face. The devil is saying,
- 35:30Speaker 2: In this system, you and I know that we should
- 35:31Speaker 2: not trust anybody that all is well for. If they
- 35:35Speaker 2: have not been stretched backwards, how can we be sure
- 35:39Speaker 2: that the devil says, if you touch anything now, he's
- 35:41Speaker 2: going to curse you to his face. Look at it.
- 35:46Speaker 2: And the Lord said to Satan, Behold, all that he
- 35:50Speaker 2: has is in your power. Only upon himself put not
- 35:54Speaker 2: forth your hand. So Satan went forth from the presence
- 35:57Speaker 2: of the Lord. Hope you have seen that even God
- 36:01Speaker 2: and the devil are not keeping malice. If God is
- 36:05Speaker 2: not keeping malice with the devil, how can he be
- 36:07Speaker 2: keeping malice with you? You. What have you done? You
- 36:16Speaker 2: are overrating yourself. That's not even underrating now. The devil, chit-chat,
- 36:23Speaker 2: have you seen Job? You are the one that made her.
- 36:26Speaker 2: That doesn't mean you will not suffer in the end.
- 36:30Speaker 2: While all this was going on, where was Job? On earth. Right?
- 36:36Speaker 2: What was he on earth? He was a wonder on
- 36:39Speaker 2: the earth.
- 36:40Speaker 6: True?
- 36:41Speaker 2: Why was he a wonder on the earth? The richest
- 36:43Speaker 2: guy in the east. Blessed. Great children. Everything going well. Fantastic.
- 36:50Speaker 2: The devil said, he's a wonder. Look at him. Everything
- 36:52Speaker 2: is fine. Let's take away the wonder on earth. Let
- 36:57Speaker 2: him be a wonder in heaven. He will curse you.
- 37:01Speaker 2: I've said something too deep there. Alright. But you know
- 37:07Speaker 2: what happened? In one day now, all his children died.
- 37:12Speaker 2: One day. Alright. Go back to, let's jump a bit
- 37:17Speaker 2: to where they came to give him the report. In
- 37:20Speaker 2: one day. Is somebody following what I'm teaching? Look at it.
- 37:29Speaker 2: Let's jump to They kept bringing evil reports, verse 13, 14, 15, 16, 17,
- 37:38Speaker 2: and 18. Then look at verse 20 now. Look at it.
- 37:48Speaker 2: Then Job arose and rent his mantle and shaved his
- 37:52Speaker 2: head and fell down on the ground and did what?
- 37:56Speaker 2: What did he do? Talk to me now. What just happened?
- 38:00Speaker 2: He lost everything. What was his response? And said. Naked
- 38:07Speaker 2: came I out of my mother's womb. And naked shall
- 38:10Speaker 2: I return. The Lord gave. The Lord has taken away.
- 38:14Speaker 2: Blessed be the name of the Lord. In all this.
- 38:19Speaker 2: Job sinned not. Nor charged God foolishly. Angels began to murmur. What?
- 38:32Speaker 2: That guy. We have seen God. We revile him. He
- 38:35Speaker 2: has not. How is he still sin? Even the wife
- 38:40Speaker 2: of Job said the best thing now. Curse him and die.
- 38:46Speaker 2: Exactly what the devil said will happen. And that was
- 38:49Speaker 2: the reason why Job was married to his wife. God
- 38:51Speaker 2: was only proud of Job. Not with his wife. Marriage.
- 38:55Speaker 2: This is what I'm saying. Integrity with God is not
- 38:58Speaker 2: sexually transmitted. It's a personal walk. Are you following what
- 39:03Speaker 2: I'm saying here? It's a personal war. In all this,
- 39:05Speaker 2: he did what? Sin not. Unhurt. What do you call him?
- 39:09Speaker 2: A miserable man. Misfortune. Everything has gone bad. Maybe he
- 39:12Speaker 2: did rituals. Maybe he did this. He has sinned. He
- 39:15Speaker 2: was fornicating. People cannot separate misfortune from sin. This was
- 39:21Speaker 2: a dimension. Because he was one of a kind, he
- 39:25Speaker 2: was trusted with it. They are called wonders in heaven.
- 39:29Speaker 2: When this happened, the fellow, are you following what I'm saying?
- 39:32Speaker 2: Nobody can see any form of comeliness. How will Jesus
- 39:35Speaker 2: Christ of Nazareth be born in the place where they
- 39:37Speaker 2: born sheep? The whole of angels in heaven stand still.
- 39:45Speaker 2: God Became flesh. Will come out through a woman. Having
- 39:49Speaker 2: stayed in the womb for nine months. God. Jesus is God.
- 39:54Speaker 2: Became man. Stayed in somebody's womb. Nine months. Umblica cord
- 39:59Speaker 2: was transforming. And transferring nutrients. Oxygen and all that. God.
- 40:04Speaker 2: Was to be born. In a sheep's manger. Doesn't make
- 40:09Speaker 2: any logical sense. Our entire salvation. Where did God take
- 40:14Speaker 2: it to? The manger. They born you for us to
- 40:16Speaker 2: be true. We are completing. Manger. And yet there were
- 40:24Speaker 2: wise men tracing stars. That where the star stands, that's
- 40:32Speaker 2: where the king, the king, the king, the king has
- 40:36Speaker 2: been born in a manger. We will trace the birth
- 40:42Speaker 2: of a king to where they are keeping sheep. God
- 40:49Speaker 2: is still saying, before the coming of Jesus, there will
- 40:54Speaker 2: be again wonders in heaven. Things that you cannot use
- 41:01Speaker 2: human vocabulary to interpret. It is not everybody's process that
- 41:06Speaker 2: you stop by fire. Are you following what I'm saying?
- 41:16Speaker 2: Let's shout from now till tomorrow By this time next year,
- 41:21Speaker 2: you are where you should be. Amen. If you are
- 41:27Speaker 2: in a class and next year is not your graduation time,
- 41:31Speaker 2: that amen is a curse, not a blessing. You have
- 41:37Speaker 2: been enrolled for something that has to do with your destiny.
- 41:41Speaker 2: It is not going to be done until you finish.
- 41:45Speaker 2: And while you are in school, in GSS3, the only
- 41:48Speaker 2: issue with this school is that you don't know the
- 41:52Speaker 2: class you are in. You only know the experience. So,
- 41:56Speaker 2: you can be in GSS3 and envy those who are
- 42:00Speaker 2: doing senior work, that they are graduating now. You still
- 42:04Speaker 2: have three more years to go, but you don't know.
- 42:07Speaker 2: How will you cope with those three years? You just
- 42:09Speaker 2: shall live by faith. Every faith mentioned in the Bible
- 42:14Speaker 2: was tested through waiting. Are you following what I'm saying?
- 42:19Speaker 2: That's why we follow those who through faith and patience.
- 42:24Speaker 2: Any faith you can't trace patience to, forget it. It's
- 42:27Speaker 2: not what's following. Are you following what I'm saying? When
- 42:30Speaker 2: a generation of instant nodules, instant pictures, instant everything, when
- 42:35Speaker 2: God wants to do what will last, it will not
- 42:37Speaker 2: be instant. That's why I told you the story. I
- 42:40Speaker 2: gave you the illustration then. Alright? That there's a way
- 42:43Speaker 2: you talk. Let's assume John now. Please stand. You've talked
- 42:50Speaker 2: to one CC somewhere, said, I like you. The CC said,
- 42:53Speaker 2: I like you too. Say, I even like your beard,
- 42:56Speaker 2: the way you used to do like this in church.
- 42:57Speaker 2: You look like a perfect gentleman. Say, you are the
- 43:00Speaker 2: kind of man I prayed for. You've been carrying the thing,
- 43:04Speaker 2: carrying the thing. You have a teenager's ministry. You're talking
- 43:07Speaker 2: to teenagers that we serve God with all of our life.
- 43:10Speaker 2: You even carry her there. Say, look now, I found her.
- 43:14Speaker 2: God has done this. Few months. Just called you and said,
- 43:23Speaker 2: I'm not feeling this thing. I'm not sure I'm feeling us.
- 43:31Speaker 2: I think something is wrong. I want to take a break.
- 43:33Speaker 2: You know the kind of break that you not come back.
- 43:37Speaker 2: And then I saw the girl leave. Now you have
- 43:41Speaker 2: to go back to the same teenagers to talk to
- 43:45Speaker 2: them about relationships. But now from the standpoint of a
- 43:49Speaker 2: man who has been broken, that is when you can
- 43:53Speaker 2: now administer life. If you have not been broken, you
- 43:57Speaker 2: will speak as an island when you are not. You
- 44:01Speaker 2: will speak with pride. After all, all has been well
- 44:03Speaker 2: with you. And you think your formula is the almighty formula.
- 44:05Speaker 2: The reason why you are quick to recommend, go and
- 44:08Speaker 2: read this book. It changed my life. Go and read
- 44:09Speaker 2: this book. It's because you think the change was about
- 44:12Speaker 2: just the book. That is why you will recommend it.
- 44:15Speaker 2: They will read it. Nothing will happen to them. You
- 44:17Speaker 2: forgot that it broke you. That was why you could
- 44:20Speaker 2: see what you saw in the book. Are you following
- 44:22Speaker 2: what I'm saying? I'm sure you do understand. If God
- 44:28Speaker 2: has not dealt with you, you will give formulas. When
- 44:31Speaker 2: he deals with you, you will teach people to wait
- 44:33Speaker 2: on God. Ah, your church is growing. Social media. Go
- 44:38Speaker 2: and check now. Somebody is just starting a church. The
- 44:43Speaker 2: day you boast that, ah, Apostle, we are growing now.
- 44:47Speaker 2: What's your attendance? 200. Following service, 50 will come. Anybody
- 44:54Speaker 2: who is experienced knows what I'm saying. That time you say, ah,
- 44:57Speaker 2: we have crossed this margin. Following service, less than that
- 45:00Speaker 2: will just come. You are asking yourself. It is showing
- 45:04Speaker 2: you that the route to this thing is consistent dependence
- 45:10Speaker 2: on God. Not your formulas. Are you following what I'm
- 45:15Speaker 2: saying here? Listen to what I'm saying. There are many
- 45:18Speaker 2: of you here that when you come to church, the
- 45:21Speaker 2: way you show up, the way you do the things
- 45:23Speaker 2: you do, angels are wondering, how? How is she still smiling?
- 45:45Speaker 2: Somebody is pregnant. Notice that the baby stopped kicking. And
- 45:54Speaker 2: I've been told by the doctor to go and wait
- 45:57Speaker 2: and check if there will be any movement. Maybe for
- 46:01Speaker 2: 48 hours. Depending on the case, maybe 72 hours. And
- 46:05Speaker 2: while in process, many women kept coming and said, please
- 46:09Speaker 2: pray for me. I'm trusting God for the fruit of
- 46:11Speaker 2: the womb. We'll release the words. Please. This, this, this.
- 46:16Speaker 2: Another one even came and said, I noticed my baby
- 46:18Speaker 2: stopped moving. I said, are you sure? Lay hands. In
- 46:21Speaker 2: the name of Jesus, now receive life. And that child
- 46:24Speaker 2: started moving. And yet the person praying is carrying one
- 46:28Speaker 2: that is not moving. As poor, making many rich. Are
- 46:41Speaker 2: you sure I'm supposed to be teaching this here? Let
- 46:46Speaker 2: me tell you something. One of the things God does
- 46:49Speaker 2: sometimes is that he anoints you to give what you
- 46:52Speaker 2: don't have. And when you ask him for it, he
- 46:57Speaker 2: will tell you to go and wait on him. And
- 47:01Speaker 2: everybody who is boasting about that thing, they contacted it
- 47:03Speaker 2: from your life. And you ask him, what about me?
- 47:06Speaker 2: Wait on me. Father, I'm stranded. Trust me. Father, please
- 47:11Speaker 2: follow me. He told Paul, he said, my grace is
- 47:14Speaker 2: sufficient for you. You, grace. The rest, bless them. And
- 47:21Speaker 2: you wonder, why me? Why this disease? He said, listen,
- 47:25Speaker 2: the anointing on you, the one on you, the river
- 47:29Speaker 2: of living water, is not yours. You have to flow
- 47:31Speaker 2: with it. Go and dig with me. The one that
- 47:35Speaker 2: is the well of living water, that's for your consumption.
- 47:40Speaker 2: And you are flowing. And yet you don't have it.
- 47:42Speaker 2: Have you ever seen people who are very strong on
- 47:50Speaker 2: teaching a particular subject that they don't experience. How about
- 47:56Speaker 2: a minister who is very powerful in his ministry? When
- 47:59Speaker 2: women come trusting God for the fruit of the womb,
- 48:01Speaker 2: they will go back and they will come back every year.
- 48:04Speaker 2: Hundreds of them with testimony of the fruit of the womb.
- 48:08Speaker 2: And the wife, they've been married for 30-something years. No child.
- 48:13Speaker 2: And God will allow the rumor to go around. Don't
- 48:15Speaker 2: mind them. They use the womb of the wife for anointing,
- 48:19Speaker 2: for power. Don't mind them. And God will allow the
- 48:21Speaker 2: room around it full course. And the more the pain,
- 48:27Speaker 2: the more the anointing. I watched Bishop T.D. Jakes. He
- 48:37Speaker 2: held a bottle of anointing oil. And he said, what
- 48:46Speaker 2: is the cost of this oil? And they said, maybe
- 48:52Speaker 2: two dollars, so and so and so, and some say
- 48:55Speaker 2: maybe three dollars and so on. I said, well, for
- 49:00Speaker 2: this oil to be there, it costs all of the olive.
- 49:06Speaker 2: Meaning that, there was an olive fruit that was sufficient
- 49:11Speaker 2: with just being an olive fruit. If you are ever
- 49:15Speaker 2: going to get oil out, you will have to press it.
- 49:18Speaker 2: It is from the presence. that the oil flows. You
- 49:23Speaker 2: cannot have both the olive fruit and the oil. One
- 49:26Speaker 2: will have to lose his form for the oil to come.
- 49:29Speaker 2: It is in the pressing that oil flows. If I
- 49:35Speaker 2: teach you on trauma, you will get it because there's
- 49:38Speaker 2: an oil that came from Crushing. It is not actually pressing.
- 49:43Speaker 2: It is crushing. It will allow it happen. Not because
- 49:48Speaker 2: it doesn't love you. Or because there is an oil
- 49:50Speaker 2: you must carry. Are you with me? Don't ask why me.
- 49:57Speaker 2: When you are about your generation. Because the moment you
- 50:02Speaker 2: can't ask why me. Then the generation will have to
- 50:04Speaker 2: ask why me. How do I explain that now? Are
- 50:16Speaker 2: you following me? What I'm trying to show you is
- 50:25Speaker 2: that sometimes a problem is not because something is wrong
- 50:28Speaker 2: with you. Let's look at another story. The disciples of
- 50:34Speaker 2: Jesus met a guy. He was born blind. There was
- 50:42Speaker 2: no socket. If there was an eye that closed, it
- 50:47Speaker 2: could be opened. This one, there was no nothing. Blank.
- 50:55Speaker 2: You can call it a congenital issue. When they saw him,
- 50:59Speaker 2: they said, who sinned? This guy or the parent? You
- 51:08Speaker 2: know what Jesus said? Nobody sinned. What is that? That
- 51:14Speaker 2: doesn't make our new creation sense. Nobody sins. This one
- 51:22Speaker 2: is so that the glory of God will be made manifest. So,
- 51:28Speaker 2: hold on. God was looking for a man that thousands
- 51:34Speaker 2: of years later, people will read of. That somebody who
- 51:39Speaker 2: had no eye socket, Jesus passed on the ground, molded
- 51:41Speaker 2: clay and molded a new eye to show him that
- 51:44Speaker 2: the world, all things were made by him. And without
- 51:47Speaker 2: him was nothing made that was made. And the next
- 51:52Speaker 2: question is, who can we trust with blindness till the
- 51:56Speaker 2: glory of God is made manifest? Who can we trust?
- 52:09Speaker 2: Which child can we trust to come from the most
- 52:13Speaker 2: dysfunctional background so that the child can become the captain
- 52:16Speaker 2: of those who are coming out and pull them out?
- 52:18Speaker 2: Who can we trust to go through? And that doesn't
- 52:26Speaker 2: mean that I need to strike a balance. Sometimes, even
- 52:33Speaker 2: when God wants to manifest himself through your life in
- 52:35Speaker 2: certain areas, That doesn't mean it's the one that put
- 52:37Speaker 2: you there. You went there yourself. But he will come
- 52:41Speaker 2: and take the glory by bringing you out. Tell your
- 52:47Speaker 2: neighbor again. You are not failing. You didn't say it
- 52:51Speaker 2: well enough. You didn't say it well enough. I would have.
- 52:59Speaker 2: Look at this. Look at this illustration. Somebody came for
- 53:06Speaker 2: a meeting. Are you following what I'm saying? A young
- 53:09Speaker 2: minister traveled, let's say traveled from one country, Botswana. This
- 53:16Speaker 2: guy has been doing ministry and everything is failing. Even
- 53:20Speaker 2: for us to have our service, we'll have to start
- 53:22Speaker 2: the gen. The gen will go off in the middle
- 53:24Speaker 2: of the service. This microphone will do this. This one
- 53:27Speaker 2: will do that. The guy is there. He said, let
- 53:29Speaker 2: me even go to so-and-so apostle and learn excellence.
- 53:31Speaker 3: Come.
- 53:32Speaker 2: Say, look at it. Their gen is not blank.
- 53:33Speaker 3: Hey.
- 53:35Speaker 2: Everything is stable. This, this, that. I go home with that.
- 53:38Speaker 2: And I've prayed. Look at the prayer I prayed. Father,
- 53:45Speaker 2: in today's service, take all the glory. And while that
- 53:51Speaker 2: guy is there concluding that whatever it takes to have
- 53:55Speaker 2: all this gadget, I will have it. While he's concluding that,
- 53:58Speaker 2: the gen goes off. To me, What nonsense is this?
- 54:04Speaker 2: Technical guys, what are you doing? You, you, you. Why
- 54:06Speaker 2: did you buy fuel? The oil. Why did you change this?
- 54:09Speaker 2: To God. Son, have you seen that you are not
- 54:13Speaker 2: alone in this? Has he taken the glory? Yes. Him
- 54:23Speaker 2: taking the glory doesn't mean it will be pleasant. Yes.
- 54:32Speaker 2: Are we justifying mediocrity? And God will now tell the person,
- 54:47Speaker 2: watch how he handles it. Now you are doing ministry
- 54:56Speaker 2: when you don't know you are doing ministry. The one
- 55:00Speaker 2: before is your preaching. Now is your life. Know when
- 55:13Speaker 2: God has switched from your message to your life. Because
- 55:17Speaker 2: it won't be pleasant. Your message is sweet. When your
- 55:20Speaker 2: life has to do the preaching, it won't be nice.
- 55:25Speaker 2: But yet it's the heaviest message. Are you sure you
- 55:33Speaker 2: are fully what I'm saying? Am I going too deep?
- 55:43Speaker 2: Somebody say it again. Father, take all the glory. Come on,
- 55:48Speaker 2: come on, say it again. Come on, say it again,
- 55:51Speaker 2: say it again, say it again. Come on, say it again,
- 55:54Speaker 2: say it again. Come on, say it one more time.
- 56:06Speaker 2: When you have speed, you will inspire a generation. When
- 56:10Speaker 2: God puts you in process, you will preserve a generation.
- 56:17Speaker 3: Okay?
- 56:18Speaker 2: A generation can be inspired and not preserved. When they
- 56:22Speaker 2: are preserved, they will be inspired. Just a matter of time.
- 56:27Speaker 2: Process preserves. Preserves. So you read in scriptures and see patterns.
- 56:47Speaker 2: And see patterns. And look at David. 12 to 14.
- 56:52Speaker 2: Wait until 30. You look at, what is he called now? Joseph.
- 56:58Speaker 2: At the dream. They saw, they held us. Connotation now.
- 57:03Speaker 2: Bowing before his sheep. Right? And he shared the dream
- 57:07Speaker 2: with them happily. Happily. But he did not know that
- 57:12Speaker 2: the first step towards that dream was hatred. Oh Lord,
- 57:17Speaker 2: pull away every garment of hatred from me. Everywhere I go,
- 57:20Speaker 2: they hate me. Everybody just hates me. It is not
- 57:23Speaker 2: necessarily a problem. Sometimes it can be the first step
- 57:30Speaker 2: towards destiny. It is not necessarily a problem. When I
- 57:37Speaker 2: was growing up, in children's church, they used to say,
- 57:39Speaker 2: you can't do anything with your life. Say, do choreography.
- 57:41Speaker 2: Your hand is too stiff. Say, look at, when they
- 57:45Speaker 2: want to act devil, they'll say, we're going to act devil.
- 57:58Speaker 2: You know, let me just say this. Recently, I was
- 58:09Speaker 2: talking with my childhood friends I still have childhood friends
- 58:15Speaker 2: from primary school, secondary school. Sometimes, the duration of people
- 58:23Speaker 2: in your life is a testament of your character. And
- 58:33Speaker 2: in all honesty, I'm saying this acknowledging what God is
- 58:35Speaker 2: doing in all our lives. And while we're talking, I
- 58:41Speaker 2: remembered And as a child, part of the things that
- 58:46Speaker 2: landed me in depression was looking at them. And after
- 58:52Speaker 2: Sunday service, I was some of them, their mom, dressing
- 58:55Speaker 2: their hair, doing all those things and all that. And
- 58:58Speaker 2: I would stand there. And I would say, will I
- 59:01Speaker 2: ever know what this feels like? One day, the one
- 59:07Speaker 2: born on Dunhill and the one born in the palace,
- 59:10Speaker 2: we meet at the same table. It's just a matter
- 59:13Speaker 2: of time. One day. And you will discover that the
- 59:18Speaker 2: route you went through is to bring an excellency from you.
- 59:23Speaker 2: If you finish well, if you go through it well,
- 59:26Speaker 2: Those who are envying will come back to envy you.
- 59:37Speaker 2: Are you with me? What will liberate you is not coming.
- 59:43Speaker 2: It's already on you. It is the crushing that will
- 59:46Speaker 2: unveil it. It's there. If anybody lays hands on you,
- 59:55Speaker 2: nobody can put on you what was never on you.
- 59:58Speaker 2: We only activate it. Put your right hand on your head. Say,
- 1:00:02Speaker 2: my head is not empty. I carry the oil already.
- 1:00:08Speaker 2: It is there. The hand of the Lord is upon
- 1:00:12Speaker 2: my life. Say it again. I am anointed. My head
- 1:00:18Speaker 2: is not empty. Look at me. Look at me. Look
- 1:00:22Speaker 2: at me. I am not motivating you. And if I am,
- 1:00:26Speaker 2: is it wrong?
- 1:00:27Speaker 3: No.
- 1:00:28Speaker 2: But I'm showing you scripture. Say it again. My head
- 1:00:31Speaker 2: is not empty. What will liberate me is already here.
- 1:00:37Speaker 2: The grace of the Lord is upon my life. I
- 1:00:40Speaker 2: carry that oil in the name of Jesus. And I
- 1:00:44Speaker 2: will serve my own generation. You may look at the
- 1:00:49Speaker 2: person and kick the person and eat the person. It
- 1:00:53Speaker 2: is still that same person that God is going to
- 1:00:55Speaker 2: use to change things. You may just not know it.
- 1:00:58Speaker 2: Time is a revealer. David, you have been anointed now.
- 1:01:06Speaker 2: But the anointing will first produce trouble. What more is
- 1:01:10Speaker 2: stagnation than to be at the same spot for 18 years?
- 1:01:14Speaker 2: Not for doing anything bad. You killed an enemy that
- 1:01:18Speaker 2: the whole land could not kill. And the reward of
- 1:01:20Speaker 2: it was that the person who helped was going to
- 1:01:23Speaker 2: stab you on the wall with a javelin. You know
- 1:01:30Speaker 2: one time David was going to the final battle where
- 1:01:34Speaker 2: Saul died. Are you aware David was going to that battle?
- 1:01:38Speaker 2: He was. He was on his way. He had dressed
- 1:01:44Speaker 2: to join them. Then they said no. You can't go
- 1:01:47Speaker 2: with us. That is, even in the midst of process,
- 1:01:50Speaker 2: if it remains a step to make the mistake that
- 1:01:53Speaker 2: will cost you your life, because of the years of
- 1:01:55Speaker 2: faithfulness and waiting, mercy will exempt you. He would have
- 1:02:02Speaker 2: gone for that battle. And he would have lost it.
- 1:02:07Speaker 2: That final moment, they said, don't go with us. And
- 1:02:11Speaker 2: that was where they came back and brought the report.
- 1:02:14Speaker 2: Saul had killed himself. They said, why are the mighty falling?
- 1:02:17Speaker 2: The weapon of warfare perishes. Tell it not in Gath.
- 1:02:20Speaker 2: Proclaim not in the spirit of Askelon. Let all of
- 1:02:24Speaker 2: the uncircumcised rejoice. It says Saul had died like one
- 1:02:27Speaker 2: who was not anointed with oil. He was anointed with oil.
- 1:02:32Speaker 2: But he became king the moment he was anointed. He
- 1:02:35Speaker 2: was not crushed. He was not crushed. Be careful of
- 1:02:45Speaker 2: anything that blows up it will blow out. There's nothing
- 1:02:49Speaker 2: sudden about process. It won't be sudden. I said it
- 1:02:53Speaker 2: won't be sudden. Please sit down. Let me tell you something.
- 1:03:01Speaker 2: If you are on a journey to prove to people,
- 1:03:06Speaker 2: are you with me? Somebody promised you that you are
- 1:03:13Speaker 2: a failure. You are. And they said, this Abuja you
- 1:03:18Speaker 2: are going. You are going to fail. And they said,
- 1:03:21Speaker 2: this Lagos you are going. You will fail again. This
- 1:03:25Speaker 2: Portakot you are going. You will fail again. So you
- 1:03:27Speaker 2: say you are called to ministry. Say yes. Say you
- 1:03:29Speaker 2: know there is poverty in the house already. Say yes.
- 1:03:32Speaker 2: Say you are the next generation of the extension of
- 1:03:35Speaker 2: that poverty. You are a waste of space. They called
- 1:03:38Speaker 2: you on those things. And the person still went there.
- 1:03:44Speaker 2: If you do anything wrong, Trying to prove to those
- 1:03:48Speaker 2: who said you are a failure that they are wrong.
- 1:03:50Speaker 2: You fail. For you to get to where you are going,
- 1:03:56Speaker 2: those who called you failure will first be right. That is,
- 1:04:00Speaker 2: a season will come in your life that when they
- 1:04:04Speaker 2: look at you, they will say we said it. But
- 1:04:08Speaker 2: that is the dead face of the grain of wheat
- 1:04:11Speaker 2: that is sown to the ground. It will come back
- 1:04:13Speaker 2: up again. The hope we have is that even if
- 1:04:22Speaker 2: the tree that we are is cut down at the
- 1:04:25Speaker 2: scent of spring back again. There is no process that
- 1:04:36Speaker 2: does not involve time. Give me that book of James,
- 1:04:40Speaker 2: chapter number one. Let patience have a work in you.
- 1:04:46Speaker 4: Patience.
- 1:04:47Speaker 2: Patience. Blessed be the God of David, who is teaching
- 1:05:04Speaker 2: my hands to walk and my fingers to fight. Blessed
- 1:05:11Speaker 2: be the God of David, who is teaching my hands
- 1:05:16Speaker 2: to walk and my fingers to fight.
- 1:05:21Speaker 7: Blessed be the God of David.
- 1:05:25Speaker 2: Stitching my hands to walk and my fingers to fight,
- 1:05:32Speaker 2: my hands will walk. My fingers will fight. My hands
- 1:05:39Speaker 2: will walk.
- 1:05:41Speaker 6: My fingers will fight. My hands will walk. My fingers
- 1:05:48Speaker 6: will fight. My hands will walk. My fingers will fight.
- 1:05:55Speaker 2: Blessed be God.
- 1:05:57Speaker 3: Blessed be God. Blessed be God. Blessed be God. Blessed
- 1:06:10Speaker 3: be God. My hands will walk. My fingers will fight.
- 1:06:19Speaker 3: My hands will walk. My fingers will fight. My hands
- 1:06:26Speaker 3: will walk. My fingers will fight. My hands will walk.
- 1:06:35Speaker 3: My fingers will fight.
- 1:06:37Speaker 4: Blessed be God.
- 1:06:38Speaker 3: Blessed be God. Blessed be God.
- 1:06:46Speaker 2: He's straining your hands to war. He's straining your hands.
- 1:06:53Speaker 2: He's straining your hands. He's straining your hands. He's straining
- 1:06:57Speaker 2: your hands. He's straining you for the days of war.
- 1:07:00Speaker 2: He's straining your hands to fight. It's training your arms.
- 1:07:06Speaker 2: It will not happen suddenly. It will be a process.
- 1:07:10Speaker 2: Training you a day at a time for standing your
- 1:07:13Speaker 2: place of making. It will not be sudden.
- 1:07:19Speaker 4: Hey!
- 1:07:22Speaker 3: Hey! Hey!
- 1:07:23Speaker 2: Hey!
- 1:07:38Speaker 4: Our hands, we run. Our fingers, we fight. Our hands,
- 1:07:45Speaker 4: we walk.
- 1:07:47Speaker 2: Our fingers, we fight.
- 1:07:50Speaker 4: Our hands, we walk. Our fingers, we fight. Listen, we know. Listen,
- 1:08:01Speaker 4: we know.
- 1:08:04Speaker 2: Listen, we know.
- 1:08:20Speaker 4: Thank you. Thank you.
- 1:08:50Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 1:09:53Speaker 4: Thank you Lord.
- 1:09:59Speaker 2: Amen Amen Now hold on a minute Let me show
- 1:10:03Speaker 2: you something Sit down for a while Sit down for
- 1:10:05Speaker 2: a while Let me give you an illustration Can I
- 1:10:11Speaker 2: Now I want to use sisters Can I have two
- 1:10:13Speaker 2: ladies Quickly Two ladies For this illustration Thank you No
- 1:10:19Speaker 2: you can come You can come Come. Okay. Let me
- 1:10:22Speaker 2: have four. Four.
- 1:10:23Speaker 3: Yes.
- 1:10:24Speaker 2: Come. Thank you.
- 1:10:26Speaker 7: Yes.
- 1:10:27Speaker 2: Thank you. Another one here. So this is what God does.
- 1:10:31Speaker 2: Look at it. Here are one, two, three, four, five ladies.
- 1:10:35Speaker 2: Same season, around the same time, probably same age, same generation.
- 1:10:41Speaker 2: And then God is going to decide, there are things
- 1:10:43Speaker 2: I want to do in your life. Then he say, hey,
- 1:10:46Speaker 2: I'm not going to do it with everyone at the
- 1:10:47Speaker 2: same time. You go first. Start this, this, this. I'm
- 1:10:51Speaker 2: going to do the same thing. The same thing. In fact,
- 1:10:56Speaker 2: he has done it. But he has instructed that the
- 1:10:59Speaker 2: manifestation should be in different seasons. While this is manifesting.
- 1:11:08Speaker 2: Because this one will have to watch, celebrate, and encourage
- 1:11:13Speaker 2: this one. For what they don't have, there is a build-up.
- 1:11:18Speaker 2: There is a build-up. that the next time God says,
- 1:11:21Speaker 2: go next, you'll come with a depth of grace and humility.
- 1:11:30Speaker 2: Because the fact that you saw someone ahead that is
- 1:11:34Speaker 2: in your generation do what you are not doing will
- 1:11:36Speaker 2: build character in you that you may not have if
- 1:11:42Speaker 2: you are number one all the time. There are many
- 1:11:48Speaker 2: things that can happen here. Then he calls another person
- 1:11:50Speaker 2: again and says, then you now observe that way too.
- 1:11:55Speaker 2: Even if I don't want to be humble, the fact
- 1:11:57Speaker 2: that God can bring me up means he can bring
- 1:11:59Speaker 2: others up. So if I was looked down on, I
- 1:12:05Speaker 2: can't look down on anybody. The same hand that brought
- 1:12:07Speaker 2: me out. When people see me, they say suddenly. But
- 1:12:13Speaker 2: where I was, it took time. There's a depth of
- 1:12:17Speaker 2: grace that tells me the same way you were manifested,
- 1:12:20Speaker 2: many more can be if you misbehave. You'll be out
- 1:12:23Speaker 2: of the race. I'm saying when God takes time to
- 1:12:28Speaker 2: do what he's doing, he's not doing that in alone.
- 1:12:31Speaker 2: He's now doing something much more. Are you with me?
- 1:12:38Speaker 2: Let me share a story with you. Let's give them
- 1:12:40Speaker 2: a big hand. Please be seated. Let me share a
- 1:12:46Speaker 2: story with you. I can't remember specifically what year now.
- 1:12:52Speaker 2: Just a few years back. When we were having our
- 1:12:55Speaker 2: structure in the battle, we had rejoiced, celebrated. We even
- 1:13:03Speaker 2: had a prayer walk. We were going to move to
- 1:13:09Speaker 2: the facility on Sunday. And on Thursday, I was in
- 1:13:12Speaker 2: the office. You were the one with me, Akali. Please come.
- 1:13:15Speaker 2: It was the one with me. They were running what
- 1:13:18Speaker 2: we call flame radio. We have a radio station. We're running.
- 1:13:22Speaker 2: So I just called him. I said, it's going to rain.
- 1:13:24Speaker 2: I said, let's enter this facility. Let's see what it
- 1:13:28Speaker 2: will feel like under the rain. We were inside. When
- 1:13:32Speaker 2: the wind came, blew the thing to the side. It
- 1:13:36Speaker 2: was full glass. Crashed it. Before that thing happened, God
- 1:13:44Speaker 2: told us, don't pick a pin from your former venue
- 1:13:48Speaker 2: to this new place. Go and sew everything out. All
- 1:13:52Speaker 2: your sound equipment, all your ACs, your television screens, go
- 1:13:57Speaker 2: and dash them out. Then he told me, those sons
- 1:14:00Speaker 2: and daughters that I called who are in ministry, that
- 1:14:03Speaker 2: have left you through offense, go and call them and
- 1:14:05Speaker 2: beg them. So I called, I begged them. I said,
- 1:14:10Speaker 2: I'm sorry, but you know you were wrong. This, this, this.
- 1:14:13Speaker 2: But I'm sorry. Let's go back to where we used
- 1:14:16Speaker 2: to be. I've given everything out. In fact, we packed
- 1:14:19Speaker 2: them with joy. When you do such things, what do
- 1:14:22Speaker 2: you expect?
- 1:14:23Speaker 8: Pew!
- 1:14:23Speaker 2: An explosion. No. The little thing we had crashed. So
- 1:14:29Speaker 2: we had to move to a new facility where the
- 1:14:34Speaker 2: videos are still online. We were doing videos online so
- 1:14:37Speaker 2: a generation can see the track record. We were holding
- 1:14:40Speaker 2: press services on robos. Honorable Bulls. My wife was pregnant
- 1:14:49Speaker 2: with her daughter then. Heavy. I got to the home,
- 1:14:54Speaker 2: to the house. I said, give me food. I had
- 1:15:00Speaker 2: a meeting that night. An online meeting. I was introducing
- 1:15:03Speaker 2: either ISM or something. Talking about it online. Did that.
- 1:15:07Speaker 2: Went to sleep. Full day morning, I said, babe, church
- 1:15:11Speaker 2: has crashed. I said, are you whining me or what?
- 1:15:15Speaker 2: Don't do all those kind of jokes again. I used
- 1:15:17Speaker 2: to whine my wife. It's my wife. I said, no.
- 1:15:22Speaker 2: The structure is broken down. The engineer that will give
- 1:15:27Speaker 2: the money to the structure that broke it down, that
- 1:15:30Speaker 2: did the nonsense, we got him arrested. God said, go
- 1:15:33Speaker 2: and release him and beg him. The girl will still
- 1:15:40Speaker 2: be sending me broadcast message. I say, you, Was it progress?
- 1:15:50Speaker 3: Yes.
- 1:15:52Speaker 2: But progress does not always make sense. And the result
- 1:15:56Speaker 2: of obedience is not necessarily always pleasant.
- 1:15:59Speaker 8: Please be seated.
- 1:16:03Speaker 2: It's not necessarily. That doesn't change the fact that something powerful.
- 1:16:08Speaker 2: So when I ask God, in fact, let me tell
- 1:16:12Speaker 2: you this. Where I stand now, the greatest thing that
- 1:16:15Speaker 2: has happened to me in ministry is the crashing of
- 1:16:17Speaker 2: that building. I went from being surprised to being sad
- 1:16:27Speaker 2: to being offended. Offended at the people who saw it
- 1:16:31Speaker 2: and didn't call me. They didn't greet me. They never
- 1:16:35Speaker 2: did as if they did. They saw it. They just
- 1:16:37Speaker 2: moved on. And then God reminded me. How many people too.
- 1:16:41Speaker 2: This one was going through that. Did you call?
- 1:16:43Speaker 3: No.
- 1:16:43Speaker 2: That was how he felt. That one was going through.
- 1:16:45Speaker 2: Did you call? No. That's how he felt. I went
- 1:16:47Speaker 2: from being offended to repenting. I went from repenting to
- 1:16:52Speaker 2: having empathy. If you go through that dark situation well,
- 1:16:57Speaker 2: you will come out with thanksgiving. You will not come
- 1:16:59Speaker 2: out with entitlement. So it occurred to me, we are
- 1:17:10Speaker 2: building auditorium. God was building church. We are the church.
- 1:17:19Speaker 2: He was raising an army of worshippers that would praise
- 1:17:21Speaker 2: him despite their predicament. It will not always be pleasant.
- 1:17:30Speaker 2: It will not always be nice. We are not baby.
- 1:17:34Speaker 2: Time for milk is over. It will not always be nice.
- 1:17:46Speaker 2: Say that I choose to see what the Lord is
- 1:17:48Speaker 2: doing Say it again. Say it again. Say it again
- 1:17:57Speaker 2: loud and clear. If you have done what God said
- 1:18:14Speaker 2: to do, have rest. He will do what he will
- 1:18:18Speaker 2: do when the timing is right. Ecclesiastes 3 verse 11. Quickly.
- 1:18:25Speaker 2: Ecclesiastes 3 verse 11. The Lord is ringing something in
- 1:18:29Speaker 2: my ears again. And that's why I'm going to round up.
- 1:18:37Speaker 2: You know there's a way when things happen for you fast.
- 1:18:41Speaker 2: You can just go and talk as if you know
- 1:18:43Speaker 2: things others don't know. Like we have some dimensions that
- 1:18:47Speaker 2: some of you are not privy to. Sometimes it slows
- 1:18:49Speaker 2: you down. So you know it's not about dimension. It
- 1:18:53Speaker 2: is of him that has obtained mercy. People ask you,
- 1:18:58Speaker 2: they wonder, why can't you give formula? You can't give
- 1:19:00Speaker 2: formula for what mercy brought. You can't bring formula. Woo!
- 1:19:07Speaker 3: Woo!
- 1:19:11Speaker 2: He has made everything beautiful in your time. In his time.
- 1:19:18Speaker 2: Also he has set the world in their heart. So
- 1:19:20Speaker 2: a man cannot find out the word of God and
- 1:19:22Speaker 2: make it from the beginning till the end. So there
- 1:19:24Speaker 2: is a time in the earth. Certain factors need to align.
- 1:19:29Speaker 2: Then you see it. What is going to announce it
- 1:19:35Speaker 2: to your world? It is already on you. The crushing
- 1:19:39Speaker 2: is what is taking place. depression. I told you, let
- 1:19:43Speaker 2: me wrap up with this story. When we were serving,
- 1:19:47Speaker 2: I felt I had suffered. I should have served two
- 1:19:50Speaker 2: years earlier. God said to wait behind. To do some
- 1:19:56Speaker 2: more work. And then pray. That doesn't make sense. And
- 1:20:02Speaker 2: we have to teach these things. So a generation will
- 1:20:05Speaker 2: not try to do it with sense. And miss God.
- 1:20:10Speaker 2: So I felt after service, I'm good to go. I
- 1:20:14Speaker 2: paid my dues. Are you following what I'm saying? When
- 1:20:17Speaker 2: the family house, when the papi, the president, said that
- 1:20:23Speaker 2: he perceived that we should pray and ask God for
- 1:20:29Speaker 2: what he would want us to do with our life
- 1:20:31Speaker 2: after service. Ah, papa, how was the prayer? This one
- 1:20:37Speaker 2: you have called is a difficult prayer It's a difficult prayer.
- 1:20:42Speaker 2: I'd already made some plan. Maybe while the rest are
- 1:20:46Speaker 2: praying this prayer, I'm going to go to the keyboard
- 1:20:48Speaker 2: and just give some effect. Let them pray, let them pray,
- 1:20:53Speaker 2: let them pray. I lost my peace. Something, I knew
- 1:21:00Speaker 2: I had to pray it. And I was looking at them,
- 1:21:03Speaker 2: I said, I know this prayer, I'm the one, I'm
- 1:21:05Speaker 2: the one, I'm the Jonah in this boat. I'm the one.
- 1:21:08Speaker 2: Because my plans were arranged and excellent. My plans. I
- 1:21:16Speaker 2: designed it. This is how I'm going to go next.
- 1:21:20Speaker 2: That's it. The moment my knees touched the ground, he said,
- 1:21:25Speaker 2: go back to Ife and finish what we started. That
- 1:21:32Speaker 2: would take me another couple of years. I will wake
- 1:21:37Speaker 2: up in the morning People are going to walk. Those
- 1:21:42Speaker 2: going to lectures are going to lecture. I will hold
- 1:21:44Speaker 2: the window and shake it with tears. I am hardworking.
- 1:21:50Speaker 2: I am not dull. Lose me, let me go. What
- 1:21:53Speaker 2: are you preparing me for that is that deep? Am
- 1:21:56Speaker 2: I the one that will bring the rapture? Lose me.
- 1:22:01Speaker 2: And you will cry. And it will not answer. Because
- 1:22:06Speaker 2: a generation will not have to cry that tears. He
- 1:22:09Speaker 2: will sow you to harvest a generation. Oh, you don't
- 1:22:14Speaker 2: know what that means. It's a pattern. Christ came as
- 1:22:19Speaker 2: a pattern. The grain of wheat have fell to the
- 1:22:22Speaker 2: ground and died. Then came back with thousands. Many sons too.
- 1:22:28Speaker 2: He will take something from you to help a generation.
- 1:22:32Speaker 2: Except you don't want to be a part in the work.
- 1:22:34Speaker 2: He will. He will. And while that is happening, the
- 1:22:38Speaker 2: stories will not make sense. It will not make sense.
- 1:22:43Speaker 2: Even those who are not up to you will puncture
- 1:22:45Speaker 2: your story and laugh at you. And yet it will
- 1:22:47Speaker 2: be quiet. That is the most horrible thing. The fact
- 1:22:50Speaker 2: that while you are going through that turn, it's quiet.
- 1:22:54Speaker 2: You know he never spoke to Job in the midst
- 1:22:55Speaker 2: of all this. The next time God was going to
- 1:23:00Speaker 2: talk to Job was Job 38. What he was saying
- 1:23:05Speaker 2: was scary. Say, prepare yourself like a man. I want
- 1:23:08Speaker 2: to ask you a question. You must answer me. Job,
- 1:23:11Speaker 2: you've been talking like a wise person. Where were you
- 1:23:13Speaker 2: when I laid the foundations of the earth? Speak if
- 1:23:16Speaker 2: you have understanding. It will pass you through process. The
- 1:23:23Speaker 2: proof that you went through well is that while you
- 1:23:27Speaker 2: may share the story to be a blessing, the story
- 1:23:31Speaker 2: cannot be a bragging right as the reason why you
- 1:23:33Speaker 2: have your result. No. In the midst of the process,
- 1:23:41Speaker 2: you will think when the result comes, you'll be able
- 1:23:42Speaker 2: to say, if you do this, you'll get the result.
- 1:23:46Speaker 2: It will now make you, that's the final class. It
- 1:23:47Speaker 2: will now make you understand. By showing you those who
- 1:23:50Speaker 2: didn't go through the process but have the result. And
- 1:23:56Speaker 2: you want to have the elder brother syndrome and be offended.
- 1:23:59Speaker 2: And say, don't mind them. They are even stronger than
- 1:24:02Speaker 2: you and wiser than you. At the end of the day,
- 1:24:11Speaker 2: we just lay down our crown and say it is
- 1:24:13Speaker 2: not of him that I will it, nor of him
- 1:24:15Speaker 2: that I run it, but of God that I show
- 1:24:16Speaker 2: it mercy. So what is the resultant effect of all
- 1:24:23Speaker 2: this process I went through? It bettered a man. Not
- 1:24:27Speaker 2: the result. The man. God is more particular about you.
- 1:24:31Speaker 2: He will rather leave the result and focus on you.
- 1:24:36Speaker 2: There's an oil on your head. There's an anointing. There's
- 1:24:41Speaker 2: a fragrance. You carry it already. The olive is still
- 1:24:44Speaker 2: being crushed. What will bring that light to your own generation?
- 1:24:52Speaker 2: It's there. Meetings like this will crack it open. Is
- 1:24:57Speaker 2: that okay now? It's there. Be careful of your negotiations
- 1:25:02Speaker 2: while you have not found out. Don't sell yourself cheap
- 1:25:07Speaker 2: because you feel small Low self-esteem looks like humility, but
- 1:25:12Speaker 2: it is not. It is not. Be humble, but don't
- 1:25:19Speaker 2: underrate yourself. Amen? Be humble, but don't what? Don't play
- 1:25:27Speaker 2: down the grace upon your life. Put your right hand
- 1:25:29Speaker 2: on your head. Say, I have it. Come on, say
- 1:25:36Speaker 2: it again. I have it. Say it again, I have it.
- 1:25:43Speaker 2: Say it again, I have it. We came to Abuja
- 1:25:57Speaker 2: last year. I've shared this story. The week we were
- 1:26:05Speaker 2: supposed to be coming, before coming, God had given me
- 1:26:07Speaker 2: instructions One of my very good. So I went from
- 1:26:13Speaker 2: pastoring one of the fastest growing church in town to
- 1:26:16Speaker 2: taking Okada. And the devil said, you see, it's pattern.
- 1:26:21Speaker 2: You're a failure. That's how you keep. That's how you
- 1:26:23Speaker 2: are living in the land. Money gathered for accommodation. God said,
- 1:26:28Speaker 2: go and call the music people. Go and buy things first.
- 1:26:33Speaker 2: So we came here. Abuja agent said, go and up
- 1:26:35Speaker 2: your budget. One time I had to ask the agent,
- 1:26:39Speaker 2: where are you living? How much is your own rent?
- 1:26:43Speaker 2: Do you know the amount of money he said he
- 1:26:44Speaker 2: had on my budget? What nonsense is this? As I
- 1:26:47Speaker 2: got to where I'm living, it's not where I really wanted.
- 1:26:52Speaker 2: I wanted a Tama, Sokoro, Katampe extension. Those people say,
- 1:26:59Speaker 2: look at me again. Pick two, pick three. General markets.
- 1:27:06Speaker 2: In the midst, that's how we came to Abuja last year.
- 1:27:11Speaker 2: Our church, we have to put buckets. As you are
- 1:27:17Speaker 2: coming up, I'm telling you, sorry, because it's like I've
- 1:27:20Speaker 2: gone to gym for the entire week. What we have now,
- 1:27:24Speaker 2: by this time next year, you will not believe that
- 1:27:27Speaker 2: there was a time 12 light is like this. I'm
- 1:27:33Speaker 2: telling you, by this time next year, You will try
- 1:27:37Speaker 2: to imagine today and what you are seeing now, you
- 1:27:39Speaker 2: will not be able to imagine it. Because the distance
- 1:27:43Speaker 2: will be so wide. I notice that when it takes
- 1:27:47Speaker 2: its time to launch you back, the moment it launches
- 1:27:49Speaker 2: you forward, there is speed. There will be quick throwbacks.
- 1:27:55Speaker 2: But if you argue with the back, you will be slow.
- 1:28:00Speaker 2: But the moment it takes its time, it has taken
- 1:28:02Speaker 2: all the time. Speed. Speed. One thing happening upon the
- 1:28:06Speaker 2: heels of another. Everywhere you turn. Blessings everywhere. Can you
- 1:28:10Speaker 2: give me that scripture? Everywhere. Things are happening so fast.
- 1:28:15Speaker 2: Because you cooperated with the process. Things will happen so fast.
- 1:28:28Speaker 2: You may start at first. It takes you 10 years
- 1:28:31Speaker 2: to gather 20 members. Then in one month, we are
- 1:28:34Speaker 2: starting 50 branches. Speed. there is a lot on the
- 1:28:42Speaker 2: other side look at it yes indeed it won't be
- 1:28:46Speaker 2: long now get up on your feet everybody God's decree
- 1:28:49Speaker 2: things are going to happen so fast your head will
- 1:28:52Speaker 2: swim one thing fast on the heels of the other
- 1:28:55Speaker 2: you won't be able to keep up everything will be
- 1:28:58Speaker 2: happening at once And everywhere you look, blessings. Blessings like
- 1:29:04Speaker 2: wine pouring out of the mountains and hills. First it
- 1:29:08Speaker 2: was slow. Then the season comes. Everything is happening so fast.
- 1:29:15Speaker 2: First it was dragging. First it was bad. Then another
- 1:29:18Speaker 2: season comes. Everything is happening so fast. When you come
- 1:29:28Speaker 2: to the face where you are now giving your house
- 1:29:29Speaker 2: rent as offering. This is the face you are going to.
- 1:29:41Speaker 2: When that season opens up, nobody can stop it. The
- 1:29:46Speaker 2: door is opened. The moment you can stay and that season, nobody,
- 1:29:52Speaker 2: no accusation can shut it. There is a witness and
- 1:29:55Speaker 2: a testimony. There is blood dripping on the altar. Wait
- 1:30:01Speaker 2: for it. Let's read this together after the count of three.
- 1:30:05Speaker 2: Are you ready? One, two, three, go. Yes, indeed. It
- 1:30:10Speaker 2: won't be long now. God's decree. Things are going to
- 1:30:13Speaker 2: happen so fast. Your head will swim. One thing fast
- 1:30:17Speaker 2: on the heels of the other. You won't be able
- 1:30:20Speaker 2: to keep up. Everything will be happening at once. Everywhere
- 1:30:24Speaker 2: you turn, you look. Blessings. Blessings like wine. Pouring out
- 1:30:28Speaker 2: the mountains and hills. The moment that door opens, it
- 1:30:46Speaker 2: is opened. Before it opens, it may drag. The moment
- 1:30:50Speaker 2: it opens, it is opened. Somebody under the sound of
- 1:30:56Speaker 2: my voice will not miss God. You will not miss
- 1:31:02Speaker 2: what he's preparing for you. You will not miss what
- 1:31:06Speaker 2: he's giving you. Now, everybody, lift up your two hands.
- 1:31:11Speaker 2: There are people here, like I said, the anointing, what
- 1:31:15Speaker 2: will break you through, is already on you. But many
- 1:31:17Speaker 2: don't know. I want to ask God to activate it.
- 1:31:24Speaker 2: I want to ask him to activate it. And many
- 1:31:28Speaker 2: of you will see strange dimensions from today. You'll just
- 1:31:32Speaker 2: notice there's another level of consciousness and awareness. One of
- 1:31:36Speaker 2: the grace that God has given to me is apostolic authority.
- 1:31:39Speaker 2: And prophetic precision. So I stretch my hands towards these people.
- 1:31:45Speaker 2: Both on site and online. Every one of our centers
- 1:31:47Speaker 2: where they are watching from. That grace. That oil. That
- 1:31:52Speaker 2: is already there. Listen well. I command it now. To
- 1:31:56Speaker 2: begin to react. And begin to speak. Father, touch at
- 1:32:04Speaker 2: least four amongst them now. One. Now, don't say amen again. One, two, three, four.
- 1:32:11Speaker 2: Touch them by the Spirit. And if you are not back,
- 1:32:18Speaker 2: back out. The anointings you have carried, the prophets inside
- 1:32:26Speaker 2: of you, I command them, be activated now. That from today,
- 1:32:40Speaker 2: that oil on your head will begin to speak. It
- 1:32:45Speaker 2: will speak so audibly, it will not be deniable. I
- 1:32:52Speaker 2: can practically feel the burning. The burning. There's a burning.
- 1:32:56Speaker 2: Like a hand. There's a burning. So there are people
- 1:32:59Speaker 2: here that the Lord is placing his hands on their
- 1:33:01Speaker 2: heads as I speak. There's a burning. The grace that
- 1:33:08Speaker 2: announces men to their own generation. Oh yes. It is
- 1:33:14Speaker 2: on you already. It is on you. Just help those
- 1:33:24Speaker 2: under the anointing. From today, the anointing is going to
- 1:33:30Speaker 2: begin to move you into places, into decisions, into places,
- 1:33:36Speaker 2: move you into decisions and actions. That will align with
- 1:33:40Speaker 2: what God is doing in your life. The anointing moves
- 1:33:43Speaker 2: the anointed. The anointing moves the anointed. The anointing moves
- 1:33:48Speaker 2: the anointed. The anointing moves the anointed. Let it begin
- 1:33:51Speaker 2: to move. Now. Lion roars. Eagles fly. It's in you.
- 1:34:07Speaker 2: You were meant to fly. Just hold that very well.
- 1:34:12Speaker 2: Lion roar. Eagles fly over. It's in you. You were
- 1:34:23Speaker 2: meant to fly. Lion roar. Eagles fly, fly, fly, fly.
- 1:34:36Speaker 2: He's in you. You were meant to fly. Fly on.
- 1:34:46Speaker 2: He goes flying.
- 1:34:50Speaker 4: He's in you. You were meant to fly.
- 1:34:57Speaker 2: He's in you. Father, a new generation is emerging. You
- 1:35:10Speaker 2: are raising a prophetic conclave from here. A prophetic conclave.
- 1:35:17Speaker 2: I don't know why God wants me, those who have
- 1:35:21Speaker 2: a dimension of the prophetic calling, either prophetic worshippers, either
- 1:35:26Speaker 2: prophetic minstrels, prophetic writers, prophetic intercessors, as I speak right now,
- 1:35:31Speaker 2: as I speak, as I speak, let there be an outbreak.
- 1:35:35Speaker 2: I call to the deep of the prophetic around here.
- 1:35:40Speaker 2: Back up. Break open a new portal. A new portal.
- 1:35:46Speaker 2: A new portal. A new level of awareness. Break open.
- 1:35:57Speaker 2: Let there be an outbreak like the sons of Issachar
- 1:36:02Speaker 2: that understood times and seasons and their brethren where they
- 1:36:06Speaker 2: are command and understanding of time. Those who understand seasons
- 1:36:15Speaker 2: Let there be an outbreak of it. Let there be
- 1:36:19Speaker 2: an outbreak.
- 1:36:21Speaker 4: Woo!
- 1:36:22Speaker 3: Woo! Woo!
- 1:36:25Speaker 4: Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo!
- 1:36:36Speaker 3: Woo! Oh, my God.
- 1:37:19Speaker 2: Amen. Amen. Thank you, Lord. Now hear the voice of
- 1:37:31Speaker 2: the Lord. He said, is the field not right in
- 1:37:35Speaker 2: front of you? Behold, the harvest is indeed great. The
- 1:37:41Speaker 2: field are white and ready to be harvested. He said
- 1:37:45Speaker 2: I am strengthening your hands. And making the feeble part strong.
- 1:37:52Speaker 2: I am sending you right into the midst of my harvest.
- 1:37:57Speaker 2: He said your journey is not yours. But you will
- 1:38:00Speaker 2: take my cross upon you and follow me. Says the Lord.
- 1:38:04Speaker 2: Follow me. And I will lead you into the harvest.
- 1:38:07Speaker 2: The space I have prepared for you. For your own generation.
- 1:38:11Speaker 2: Says the Lord.
- 1:38:12Speaker 4: Pick your cross.
- 1:38:14Speaker 2: Pick your cross. And follow me. Says the Lord. Thank you, Lord.
- 1:38:19Speaker 2: Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord.
- 1:38:26Speaker 2: We give you praise. We thank you. We bless your
- 1:38:29Speaker 2: holy name. Thank you, Father. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord.
- 1:38:56Speaker 2: Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord.
- 1:38:57Speaker 8: Thank you, Lord.
- 1:38:58Speaker 2: We give you all the praise. Thank you, Lord. We
- 1:39:03Speaker 2: give you praise. Thank you, Father.
- 1:39:07Speaker 4: We bless your holy name.
- 1:39:20Speaker 2: Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. The glory of the
- 1:39:24Speaker 2: Lord is strong. Thank you, Lord. A new chapter is opening.
- 1:39:32Speaker 2: A new chapter is opening. A new chapter. There's somebody
- 1:39:36Speaker 2: like a river is flowing, your knees, your ankle, like
- 1:39:39Speaker 2: a worm. You can't explain. It's an anointing. It's rising
- 1:39:43Speaker 2: higher and rising and welling up. Help that person because
