- 2:57through this conference.
- 3:01Speaker 1: Sheila gota prandagadaballah to Seada, I have come with my
- 3:05heart opened.
- 3:10Speaker 3: Send your word, Allelujah, praised the name of the Lord.
- 3:29Speaker 1: Just two things very quickly, and then we'll sit down.
- 3:35Number one, I like you to be very sensitive. In
- 3:39Genesis chapter twenty eight, the Bible says how that Jacob
- 3:42came and found a place in the night to sleep.
- 3:46He set a stone there and began to sleep. And
- 3:51as he lay to sleep, the Bible says he saw
- 3:55a ladder that connected the heaven and the earth. He
- 4:00saw angels ascending and descending. But the Bible never said
- 4:05they were coming to him. They were passing him and
- 4:08going to those who were calling them. He was there,
- 4:13and yet they were moving angelic activities, but he did
- 4:17not benefit from it. And when he woke up, he said,
- 4:21surely the Lord was in this place, and I knew not.
- 4:25He said, this is the house of God, the gates
- 4:28of heaven. He learned his blessing. Then, when we get
- 4:32to chapter thirty two, God would come again. This time around.
- 4:39He held on to him and said, I made that
- 4:41mistake before. I will not make it again. I will
- 4:44not let you go unless you bless me. He said,
- 4:49leave me for the day breaketh, and he said, I
- 4:52will not let you go. Then he says, what is
- 4:55your name? He said Jacob said, now shall no longer
- 4:58be called Jacob for us a prince. You have had
- 5:02power with God and prevailed. He touched the whole of
- 5:06his tie and blessed him. The sun arose, and he
- 5:11called the name of the place, Penny l. I have
- 5:14seen God face to face, and my life is preserved
- 5:18in every meeting. Please listen carefully in every meeting, In
- 5:25every conference like this, there are usually two groups of people.
- 5:29Number one, there are those who come as spectators, hoping
- 5:35if they could learn one or two things, and that
- 5:38disposition of pride alone will not even allow them to
- 5:42receive anything, because the quality for reception in the spirit
- 5:46is meekness. You receive with meekness, the ungrafted word. Then
- 5:51there is another group who are hungry, desperate sincere passion it.
- 5:58Even though they have been helped by God in different measures,
- 6:02they know that even in heaven you can still come
- 6:04up higher. And so they come with your hearts opened
- 6:09and desperate. And it's my prayer sincerely that God himself
- 6:13will cause all of us to be in this second group,
- 6:17that we prepare our hearts to receive to be enlightened.
- 6:26There is nothing that God is not able to do
- 6:29if we pay attention, and if we listen to.
- 6:31Speaker 4: Him who wins like him.
- 6:42Speaker 1: The lion and the lamb see there under throw who
- 6:52wins like you, the lion and the m see tre
- 6:59un thear, throw.
- 7:04Speaker 5: Mountains, bound down, every ocean, row.
- 7:11Speaker 1: To the Lord of lords.
- 7:15Speaker 5: I will praise Ah Donna.
- 7:21Speaker 1: From the rising after the sun to the end of
- 7:26every day.
- 7:28Speaker 5: Praise Ah Donna, all the nations off the earth, all
- 7:38the angels and the saints, saying praise.
- 7:45Speaker 1: We're going to be seated shortly. But I don't know
- 7:50why God does this. There are four people right now,
- 7:53so I'm speaking one of you. One of them will
- 7:56start running out by the spirit. Just hold him and
- 7:58bring him out here. I don't want you to find
- 8:00it strange. Where I believers, We believe in the full
- 8:03counsel of God. This is what God is showing me.
- 8:05The power of God will come upon one person. Literally.
- 8:08I wanted to just help them, and then there are
- 8:10three orders in total, four people. This is what the
- 8:13Lord is revealing to me. Because I'm saying, even before
- 8:18I sit down to or before we sit down, that
- 8:21the world is taught there is a hunger and a
- 8:26desperation that some of you have come with. Help them, please,
- 8:32And the Bible says, now the Lord is that spirit,
- 8:40so do not doubt the spirit. The Spirit is the Lord,
- 8:44the Lord. There are other spirits, but this one, the
- 8:48Lord is that spirit. And you know he is that
- 8:52spirit because where the Spirit of the Lord is, there
- 8:58is liberty. Please bring them out. I stretch my hands
- 9:02by the spirit of Grace that honger that desperation in
- 9:08the name of Jesus Christ. Place. Whether you're and Osha
- 9:11or not, just help them, Chalibada, help them, please, Majesty
- 9:22you brought us here to change us. You brought us
- 9:25here to lift us. You will never be the same.
- 9:32I assure you, you will never never be the same,
- 9:36not after this conference.
- 9:45Speaker 6: You the Covenant, keeping you, the Covenant, keeping in thea
- 10:00away the Covenant, jiev away you, the Covenantvway, giving.
- 10:40Speaker 1: The name of Jesus everything that is not the blunting
- 10:44of the Lord over this one and over any life
- 10:49represented here, even before the word comes in the name
- 10:53of Jesus, the Son of the Living God, maybe off
- 10:56from your life and destiny. In the name of Jesus Christ.
- 11:03And for those of you who have come, I release
- 11:05you into very deep dimensions of encounters in the spirit,
- 11:12encounters of light, encounters of fire. By the power of
- 11:17the Living God, I declare that your lives will never
- 11:20never be the same. In the name of Jesus Christ.
- 11:26May the Lord bless you, May the Lord lifd you.
- 11:30In Jesus' name. Please be seated for a few minutes.
- 11:33Let's get to the word, Mighty God. We're going to
- 11:44be exploring the Word of God in line with the
- 11:48theme of your conference. And whilst the Word is coming,
- 11:53I like you to please be sensitive, because the Lord
- 11:56is going to be healing. The Lord is going to
- 11:58be delivering, The Lord is going to be setting the
- 12:00captives free, and then he will be enlightening us through
- 12:04the world. The Bible says in Isiac chapter sixty and
- 12:07verse one, he says, Arise, shine, for thy light is come,
- 12:13and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.
- 12:16Amplified says, Arise from the depression and the prostration that
- 12:20circumstances have kept you, rise to a new light. It
- 12:26is at the instance of God's word that we rise.
- 12:29It is at the instance of God's word that we reign.
- 12:33This is a kingdom that is knowledge driven. Please pay attention.
- 12:38This is a kingdom that operates by light and operates
- 12:43by knowledge. Our inability to sufficiently understand the truth of
- 12:48scripture will short secute the potential of the life that
- 12:53we have received in Christ. This is very important. We
- 12:56must understand just being born again, being saved, as important
- 13:01as it is, does not automatically release in and through
- 13:05us the fullness of the potential of what we call
- 13:08eternal life. It takes knowledge Efficients four and verse eighteen.
- 13:13Having their understanding darkened, it says, being alienated from the
- 13:19life of God through the ignorance that is in them
- 13:22because of the blindness of their heart. So spiritual ignorance
- 13:29can make a man, even though that man may be
- 13:33a believer, not be able to come into the fullness
- 13:36of the potential of what the faith life produces. Pal
- 13:41eighty t one, Verse five. There was a lamentation there.
- 13:45It says, they know not, neither will they understand. They
- 13:48walk on in darkness, and all the foundations of the
- 13:52earth are out of course. Verse sixss I have said
- 13:56ye are gods, and all of you are children of
- 13:59the most high the tragedies. In the next verse it says,
- 14:02but you shall die like mayor men, and fall like
- 14:05one of the princes. So even though we have been
- 14:09called into a life of beauty and glory, a holy
- 14:12calling and a high calling, it takes knowledge to pay
- 14:17attention to knowledge. World conferences are feasts of the world
- 14:26where we receive the word, access to the mysteries of
- 14:31the Kingdom, access to spiritual information that are able to build,
- 14:36are able to mature. It says, and that from a
- 14:39child now has known the Holy Scripture, which is able
- 14:43to build you up. Are we together now, yes, to
- 14:48give you an inheritance among them that are sanctified. The
- 14:52word of God is very powerful. While discussing the power
- 15:00that is in God's word, we're trying to explore the
- 15:03riches that are captured in the world of God and
- 15:10will be very brief tonight, and then we'll pray. Let's
- 15:13start from Harba Cook chapter three. Harba Cooke, chapter three,
- 15:18from verse three and four. I wish we could get
- 15:21verse four in amplified, but if we're unable to get it,
- 15:24that's all right. God came from Teman and the Holy
- 15:28One from Mount Paran. His glory covered the heavens and
- 15:33the earth was full of praise. Verse four. I'd like
- 15:37you to please read verse four if you can see projected. Ready,
- 15:41let's read together. One to read. And his brightness was
- 15:45as the light and the horns coming out of his hand,
- 15:49and there was the hiding of his power, that the
- 15:55power of God has a location. Now you read Amplified,
- 15:59amplify this project. Thank you media. Can we read again? Now? Ready?
- 16:02Want to read? And his brightness is like the sunlight. Ahah.
- 16:08He has bright rays flashing from his hand, and there
- 16:14in the sun like splendor is the hiding place of
- 16:19his power. The power of God has a location where
- 16:23it resides. The Bible says, in his light, light, Light, Light,
- 16:34Please bring the lady that shouts loud under the anointing
- 16:37right now to the hearing of everyone, a loud shout.
- 16:40This is what I heard from the spirit. This is
- 16:43a ministry, and Apostolic ministry is a ministry of science
- 16:46and wonders and these things. Is not just about some
- 16:49Pentecostal jamboree. There is always a message in everything that
- 16:54God does. No, no, no, no no, I'm not asking you
- 16:56to come out at random. The power of God will
- 16:58bring you out loud shout from the congregation. The power
- 17:02of God will come on a lady. This is what
- 17:04I'm seeing. Please where that happens, Allelujah, Pay attention. I
- 17:12will still here. So the word of God is where
- 17:21the power of God resides. And we're going to be exploring.
- 17:25Let's see how far we can cover for tonight. The
- 17:30Lord is bringing captivity to the family of that lady.
- 17:33This is what the Lord is telling me. Captivity comes
- 17:37to an end. Did the Bible not said now the
- 17:41Lord is that spirit. I repeat, and that where the
- 17:44Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. The things
- 17:49that we read in this Bible are not just stories,
- 17:53they are not just parables. If you're a man of
- 17:56God here, you are a minister of the Gospel. Here.
- 17:59It is my prayer that in this conference you will
- 18:01contact the grace to represent God in reality, that we
- 18:08will stop advocating a theoretical God and bring to bear
- 18:14the reality of scripture. I write these things to you,
- 18:17o excellenty your FORO loos of all that Jesus began
- 18:21to do and teach in his presence and age long
- 18:30captivity like this, just like that gone. This is what
- 18:36Jesus does. He does not just do it to show
- 18:39that a man of God is powerful. He does it
- 18:41to demonstrate the excellency of this kingdom. So when you
- 18:46tell someone come to Jesus, you are not advocating a religion. No,
- 18:52you are telling him I am advocating a life that
- 18:54is superior and whose superiority can be proven. Here and
- 19:00now are we blessed? John Chapter one, verse one. What
- 19:10is the Word of God? Let us begin by discussing
- 19:13the Word of God, John Apostle John, Now please look up.
- 19:16Theologically speaking, the Gospels are divided into four we call
- 19:21them the Synoptic accounts. These were all eyewitness accounts. Let
- 19:27me just minister to this gentleman in the name of
- 19:29Jesus Christ. I stretch my hands and I declare, let
- 19:33captivity over his life and family come to an end. Amen.
- 19:41All right, So let's continue now, John Chapter one, Verse one,
- 19:45the Bible says, in the beginning, it was only apostle
- 19:53John who began his discourse from the divinity of Christ.
- 19:58When you read other synoptics, some of them started from
- 20:02an archeological standpoint, or that started from the historic standpoint
- 20:07with the census that was going on in the days
- 20:09of Jesus. Are we together? Others started, like Mark, straight
- 20:13from the miracles. But it was John that approached his
- 20:19synoptic account from the standpoint of the divinity of Christ.
- 20:24He traced it down to the beginning. So having that
- 20:28in mind, let's way. John One was one in the
- 20:30beginning was the word, he says, And the word was
- 20:39with God, and the word was God. Now very instructive statement.
- 20:47The word was with God, the word was God. Verse
- 20:53two the Bible says the same. The word now was
- 20:58with God in the beginning. And then a very interesting
- 21:01rendition was three. And then we'll post for now he
- 21:04says all things, how many things, All things were made
- 21:08by him, not it him. So we see the first
- 21:14expression of the world being personified, that the world is
- 21:18not just a book. He's talking about the Word of God,
- 21:21and he's saying that please give it to us now.
- 21:26Verse three, All things were made by him and without him.
- 21:32That means outside of him was not anything made that
- 21:37was made. All things were made by him. And if
- 21:43you ever see anything that was made, he was the
- 21:46one who made it. The Word of God. For many
- 21:55people we pick up a Bible like this and we said,
- 22:00this is the Word of God. Generally speaking, we are
- 22:03right in that it's a book that was inspired. The
- 22:07Bible says all scripture was inspired of the Holy Spirit,
- 22:10that holy men wrote as they were moved by the spirit.
- 22:13Are we together? But in reality, this was a book
- 22:17that was published by a book publishing house. It is
- 22:22possible that the publisher of this book is not even Bonnegay.
- 22:25Are we together now? Yes? In this Bible, demons spoke
- 22:31in this Bible. God spoke in this Bible, animals spoke.
- 22:36Are we together? In this Bible? Man spoke in the
- 22:40depravity of their hearts in this Bible, Man spoke from
- 22:44a standpoint of repentance. In this Bible, God spoke from
- 22:49the standpoint of his strength and majesty. So what exactly
- 22:54is the word of God? It is important that we
- 23:00understand what the world of God is. What is the
- 23:03world of God that is so important? The Bible says
- 23:08all things happens at the instance of that world. What then,
- 23:14is the word of God? But you see, even before
- 23:18we begin to discuss the subject, please look on, please
- 23:21pay attention, even before we begin to discuss the subject
- 23:25of the world of God, our first part of God
- 23:29is God himself. You see, if your study of scripture
- 23:35and your pursuit of the knowledge of scripture is isolated
- 23:39from the larger picture of trying to know God, study
- 23:43of scripture will not profit you. The study of scripture
- 23:46should be a derivative of a bigger appetite and a
- 23:50bigger agenda, that is, to know God. It is the
- 23:55passion to know God that now drives you to begin
- 23:59to make reference to this material. Are we together now? Yes?
- 24:05John seventeen, from verse three, this is the Lord's prayer.
- 24:09Jesus is praying. He said, this is life eternal, that
- 24:13they may know THEE, not just to know about THEE,
- 24:18that they may know THEE, the only one true God,
- 24:22and Jesus, whom thou hast sent so our highest pursuit.
- 24:28Listen carefully. It's not just to study scripture. It's not
- 24:33just to crime versus. It's not just to feel religious
- 24:36about holding a book or an iPad that contains a
- 24:40Christian material. The highest desire must be to know God himself.
- 24:49There are many people who have read this book and
- 24:53it did not change them because the desire was not
- 24:56to know God. The desire was to find controversial statement
- 25:00and accuse the faith work. There are people who have
- 25:04studied this as part of their thesis for an educational certification.
- 25:10Just because you open and study does not mean it
- 25:13will profit you. The desire must be God himself. And
- 25:20see the way it works in this kingdom is that
- 25:24whatever else you seek, good or bad, if it rises
- 25:28above your knowledge and your passion and your desire for God,
- 25:33it is idolatry. If you seek annoint and above God,
- 25:39it is idolatry. If you seek angels above God, it
- 25:43is idolatry. You seek signs and wonders above God, these
- 25:47are positive things. The jealousy of God does not allow
- 25:52him to contest with anything at all. In your heart,
- 25:57every other thing finds its credence when God is first
- 26:02and God is priority. We see you together, so as
- 26:06we discourse the idea of the world of God, it's
- 26:10important for you to not limit your mind to just Okay,
- 26:14let me lend this so that I can go and
- 26:16get results. Let me lend this so that I can
- 26:19administer healing. Those things are wonderful, but it starts with God.
- 26:23The rule is in the beginning God. That must be
- 26:27the formula that must be maintained in the beginning of
- 26:30your spiritual pursuit. God not miracles, not anointed, not breakthroughs.
- 26:35These things are not wrong. You've already seen God visiting
- 26:38his people in the beginning. The accurate posture that makes
- 26:44scripture to come a life and the understanding of scripture profitable,
- 26:50is when your heart is on God, not Bible. When
- 26:54your heart is on God not Heaven. When your heart
- 26:58is on if you worship the throne that God is
- 27:00sitting on his still idolatry. We don't worship the throne.
- 27:03Is Him that sits on the throne. Are we together
- 27:11because there are many believers who award adding they really
- 27:19have passion for scripture, but the motivation behind it is
- 27:25just to find the principles therein and obtain results that
- 27:28are isolated from the knowledge of God. Eventually you will
- 27:33meet with destruction on the way. Are we together? Unbelievers
- 27:40without giving their lives to Christ can sit down under
- 27:44a conference like this and learn the principles of the
- 27:48kingdom and use those principles if we're refusing to acknowledge
- 27:52a lordship of Christ, and it will work for them
- 27:55because there is a dimension of God's power that is
- 27:57invested in his lots and principles. They will not acknowledge
- 28:01the God, but they will use his principles to get results.
- 28:05Even if an unbrother goes to the farm to farm,
- 28:07it will produce because the law of see time and
- 28:10habits is still at work. It does not depend on
- 28:12a relationship. It just depends on obedience to the principle.
- 28:17So before we begin to discuss this, I have an
- 28:21assignment to read. Direct your focus to him that sits
- 28:25on the throne, not a book. From the standpoint of
- 28:31Him who sits on the throne, we now begin to
- 28:33follow the road map that he has created. So when
- 28:36we search for scripture and we explore the knowledge of
- 28:40the world, it is ultimately to the end that if
- 28:44it revolves back to Him who sits upon the throne,
- 28:49are we together? This is what makes the Christian experience profitable.
- 28:54You will be surprised that a time can come in
- 28:57your Christian experience where as far as spiritual activities are concerned,
- 29:02you are not feeling in it, and yet your relationship
- 29:05is not growing. Your knowledge of scripture is increasing. But
- 29:12because your motivation was never him, Your motivation was just principles.
- 29:17Principles are powerful, what principles are secondary. It is in
- 29:21the beginning God. All the people who wrote this, they
- 29:29did not start by looking for a book. They started
- 29:32by pursuing a man. It was their pursuit of that
- 29:36man that led to the book that we now read.
- 29:39Right after an encounter, John, you have now encountered me
- 29:44now right the words that have come from that encounter.
- 29:47They are faithful and they are true. Are we blessed?
- 29:56So it must be God. And when I I say God,
- 30:00I'm speaking to a global audience. There are people connecting
- 30:05from all over. When we say God, we refer to
- 30:09the God of the Bible, the Almighty God, the creator
- 30:13of the heavens and the earth, the one who came
- 30:18and manifested as the Word made flesh, Jesus. In the beginning, God,
- 30:25whilst you're seated, I want you to pray, prayer. Lord.
- 30:28Everything that is not You and has been exalted in
- 30:33my life, I dethrone it. In this conference, I readdirect
- 30:36and reorder my passion more than Bible study, more than
- 30:42prayer meeting. All this are a means to an end.
- 30:46The end is you. The end of a believers journey
- 30:49is not prayer. The end of a believers journey is
- 30:52not Bible study. The end of a believers journey is
- 30:55not worship. The end of a believers journey is not giving.
- 30:59The end of a believers Johnny is the knowledge of God.
- 31:02All those things become keys that help us to know
- 31:06Him and then excel in life. Are you praying? Lift
- 31:09your voice and pray to know you genuinely, sincerely, to
- 31:17know you, to have an encounter with you in the
- 31:36name of Jesus. Philippi and chapter three and verse ten.
- 31:39Let's hurry up Philippian Chapter three and verse ten. Paul
- 31:43mentoring the church and Philippi. He was so broken by
- 31:46his passion to know God. Here's what he said that
- 31:50I may know him. This was a man who wrote
- 31:52two thirds of the New Testament. This was one who,
- 31:55even before his conversion, he was a phari See did
- 31:58you see as a phari See? He was not bankrupt
- 32:00of scripture. He had scripture, but he did not know
- 32:04the God of the Bible. It was whilst he was
- 32:06going to persecute the church that he had an encounter.
- 32:11The Bible says, he met this light that we call Jesus.
- 32:15Speaker 7: Light of the world. You stepped down into darkness. Oh
- 32:22and Miles led mees, you're.
- 32:29Speaker 1: The light of my life. You stepped down to the lives.
- 32:39Lend me a man who was full of scripture and
- 32:45yet did not know God. You could not stand with
- 32:48Paul to debate on scripture. He was a Pharisee. Did
- 32:53you know that the scribes and the Pharisees, the condition
- 32:56for them to be scribes and Pharisees, among other things,
- 33:00is that they had to learn the Five Books of Moses.
- 33:02They knew the toler of Art. Even Satan no scripture.
- 33:07But does it doesn't mean he has a relationship with God.
- 33:11The blind knowledge of scripture does not automatically equate to
- 33:14a relationship. It is written Satan is speaking. He starts
- 33:22with a relationship, not a narcheological such or scripture. So
- 33:30Paul is having an encounter. And he looked at him
- 33:33and said, Saul, Saul, why persecutors thout me? He had
- 33:40memory verses in his head, but there was no relationship.
- 33:45Who are thou lord, he said? He said, I am
- 33:48the one who you are persecuting. Even though you seem
- 33:51to have information that talks about me, you have not
- 33:54met me. He said, you cannot kick against the bricks,
- 33:57And that began the job of these ignorant but knowledgeable
- 34:04pharisee who would later become an apostle of the Lamb.
- 34:08Then now please go back to chapter three and verse ten.
- 34:11Now you will understand what he's said. Philippians, Chapter three
- 34:14and verse ten. Yess what he said? That I may
- 34:17know him. I have known about him, I have known
- 34:22the books that were written of him. But now I
- 34:25want to know him and the power of his resurrection
- 34:30and the fellowship of his suffering being made conformable onto
- 34:35his death, that I may know him. Please write this down.
- 34:39There are four blablic club platforms, four biblical platforms. I'll
- 34:44just touch on it and then really go into the
- 34:49matter for tonight. Wherever we stop, will pray and continue.
- 34:53There are four biblical platforms that have been provided to
- 34:59help men know God. Four. Number one. The first biblical
- 35:06platform that can help any man know God is scripture.
- 35:10Write it down, please, Scripture. That means you can see
- 35:16someone who maybe is an unbeliever or an atheist, and
- 35:21then you lead that person to Christ. You can give
- 35:24the person scripture and with the correct understanding, he can
- 35:29use scripture to know God. Number two. I just thought
- 35:36to touch on that very quickly. Number two, you know
- 35:41God through his names. The names of God are a
- 35:48capture of the different dimensions of God's power and ability.
- 35:51You see, when you study scripture, you learn the character
- 35:54of God and you lend his methodologies. When you study scripture,
- 35:59scripture reveals character of God more than just versus, more
- 36:03than parables, more than stories. You familiarize yourself with the
- 36:07character of God. If you are a sound student of scripture,
- 36:11you should be able to discern immediately that this is
- 36:15not how God behaves. Because scripture opens you up to
- 36:19the character of God. It opens you up to the
- 36:22modus of RANDI the methodologies of God, how God acts.
- 36:28Number two, the names of God. Every time they saw
- 36:32the mighty hand of God, they captured that experience in
- 36:36the name. And every time they wanted to see that
- 36:38dimension of God again, they would call that name. So
- 36:41he ischyrah Chyreh will not heal you. He will only provide.
- 36:46Rapha will not provide. He will only heal seeking righteousness.
- 36:52Are we together now? So the names of God are
- 36:55a revelation of different dimensions in him. Is that who
- 36:59should like hell? Pharaoh had sent me, and then he said,
- 37:02I am that I am. He said, go and tell Pharaoh,
- 37:06I AM has sent you. The third way, the third
- 37:12platform for knowing God is the revelation of the passing Jesus.
- 37:19Jesus Hebrews chapter one. When you read from verse one
- 37:23and three, the Bible says, God, who is saundry times
- 37:26and die verse manner, speak to us in time past
- 37:30by the fathers and the prophets. He say had in
- 37:33these days spoken on to us by his son, whom
- 37:37he had appointed to be heir over all things, by
- 37:40whom also he made the worlds. He's making reference to
- 37:43John one. One. Now now verse three, he says. Verse
- 37:47three says, who've been the brightness of his glory and
- 37:51the express eMates upholding all things by the world of
- 37:55his power? Are you seeing that now? So Jesus came.
- 37:58Listen please a believer's convention, Jesus did not just come
- 38:04to die alone. There are three major assignments of Jesus
- 38:10when he showed up on the earth. Number one, Jesus
- 38:14came as a correction of our perception about God. Until
- 38:19Jesus showed up, there were many things about God that
- 38:24the saints and even the prophets did not understand. They
- 38:27credited things, anything that was superhuman, they credited it to God.
- 38:33And so Jesus came as a correction. He came as
- 38:36a marking script, as a reference. Everything the Father said
- 38:41he was. You could compare it and see captured in
- 38:44the life of Jesus, so that by looking onto Jesus
- 38:49we may know the Father. I am the Way, the Truth,
- 38:52and the life. He says, No man comment to the Father,
- 38:56but by me. So no matter what it is that
- 38:59I think I know about the Father, I look on
- 39:02to Jesus to correct my perceptions. Number two. Jesus came
- 39:06as perfect theology. He came as the pattern man, a
- 39:10portrait of what can happen to a man when you
- 39:14work in alignment with the spirit of God. Jesus came
- 39:21as a representation of the Father's desire what we should become.
- 39:25He says, as he is so awa. He came to
- 39:29show us that we can work in victory. He came
- 39:33to show us that the excellency of the power of
- 39:37God is a reality, and he demonstrated it in his earthwork.
- 39:41And then, thirdly, and finally, and more importantly, he came
- 39:45as the substitutionally sacrifice, the one who would become the
- 39:49mediator of the new Covenant. He came as a revelation
- 39:52of the Father's love, demonstrated in and through his death,
- 39:57his burial, his resurrection, his assession, his enthronement. He did
- 40:07not just come to reconcile man alone. He came to
- 40:11correct our perception about God. Imagine with me, for instance,
- 40:16Let's say there is a gentleman who is a CEO,
- 40:21and most of the staff that work in that company,
- 40:23they've not been able to see the man. Anyone who
- 40:26claims to know the man can tell you things and
- 40:29say the man directed you. Is that true? But when
- 40:31the man sends a special envoy, that man comes as
- 40:35the most accurate representation of the character of that man.
- 40:39So you can use the person and compare. Let me
- 40:42give you an instance, very humorously. Many of you would
- 40:44have noticed I'm not on social media, and yet there
- 40:48are probably tens of social media pages daily people open
- 40:53as me, and sadly they can ask people for money everywhere.
- 40:57Just take advantage of the fact that people like this
- 40:59man of God. Now you are only defroud of if
- 41:02you do not know me. When you know me, for instance,
- 41:07you can George, is this the character of this person?
- 41:11Are you get to what I'm saying now? So Jesus
- 41:13came as a correction to what we think or thought
- 41:18the Father was, because when you read the Bible outside
- 41:24of the manifestation of Jesus, your conclusion would be God,
- 41:27you are mysterious. Sometimes it looks like you are kind,
- 41:31sometimes it looks like you are wicked. Sometimes we read
- 41:34scripture and we don't understand you. And Jesus said, leave
- 41:37the confusion. Watch my life. I am a every thing
- 41:40you see me do is what the Father does. Whatever
- 41:44you did not see me do. Don't let anybody tell
- 41:46you that's what the Father does. He came as a
- 41:49correction of our perception. So, for instance, if you believe
- 41:54that it's God's will for people to remain in sickness
- 41:57and in poverty and in failure, you don't need to
- 42:00create a debate. Look at Jesus. What did Jesus do
- 42:03when sick people come? He did not leave one to
- 42:06go sick, So immediately we know the sicknesses of the devil.
- 42:10What did Jesus do when poor people came? When poor
- 42:14people come to it, when they came around at the
- 42:16crusade after teaching, he did not leave them hungry. What
- 42:20happened when they tried the fishermen, the businessmen who were
- 42:24trying to catch fish. So immediately you know that the
- 42:30Father is not only interested in your eternal salvation, He's
- 42:33interested in your well being. Jesus the correction of our
- 42:38perception about the Father. Are we blessed? And then the
- 42:44last platform to know God is called our experiences? Job
- 42:49Chapter forty twe verse five, Job forty t one, verse five.
- 42:54This introduction is very important. I have heard of thee
- 42:58by the hearing of the But now my eye see it.
- 43:03D There is a dimension of the knowledge of God
- 43:06that only your experience can minister to you. You can
- 43:13ask every man of God or anyone who has lived
- 43:15long enough. There is a way you sing and say, Lord,
- 43:19you are faithful. You are not just saying it because
- 43:21you read it in Scripture. There is a history. Your
- 43:23life has a track record of it. So when you
- 43:26are speaking, you are speaking from a standpoint of conviction.
- 43:31It was his faithfulness that gave you your firstborn. It
- 43:33was his faithfulness that delivered you from an accident. You
- 43:37fell at sea, and yet he delivered you. So when
- 43:40you are saying God is faithful, you are not reciting
- 43:42a chorus that church people say. You have an experience. Scripture,
- 43:51the word of God now, the names of God, number three,
- 43:59Jesus manifest in the flesh, number four, your experience. These
- 44:04are the four biblical platforms given to help us know God.
- 44:11So this entire conference, this world conference, now is speaking
- 44:17one of those platforms. Are you seeing now? So when
- 44:21we explore Scripture, it is not only helping us to
- 44:25know God, but helping us to know how to use
- 44:30the truth of God's word to excel to reign. But
- 44:36our attention will never be pegged at just reigning and ruling.
- 44:40It is the knowledge of God a weekly on that. Now,
- 44:43please pray while you are seated, Lord, reveal your word
- 44:46to me. Reveal your word to me. Open my eyes
- 44:52to Tea. Reveal your word. Sheila Cato escape n Dakhato's theater.
- 45:05Reveal your word in the name of Jesus, Allelujah. So
- 45:10write this down, please, Number one. The word of God
- 45:15is God. What is the word of God? The Word
- 45:18of God is God an expression of himself. We read
- 45:22John one, verse one. In the beginning was the word.
- 45:25The word was with God, The word was God. Revelations
- 45:29nineteen thirteen. John was caught up in the Isle of
- 45:33Patmos nineteen thirteen Revelation. The Bible says he so one
- 45:37who sat upon a white horse. He said, and he
- 45:40was clothed nineteen verse thirteen. Just leave verse thirteen nineteen
- 45:45and verse thirteen. He was clothed with a vesture, tripped
- 45:49in blood. And his name is called the Word of God,
- 45:54the original name of the one you know. And you
- 45:57call Jesus his name from the foundations of the earth.
- 46:02Worse and ease. The word of God, the Word of
- 46:08God his original name the Word of God. So the
- 46:17Word of God is an expression of God himself. Number two,
- 46:22What is the word of God? The Word of God
- 46:25is a revelation of his thoughts and his character. The
- 46:32Word of God is a revelation. Every time you talk
- 46:36about the Word of God, you mean a compendium of
- 46:40God's thoughts and character. Isaiah fifty five, from verse eight
- 46:45and nine. Isaiah fifty five, verse eight and nine. Please
- 46:50pay attention, Isaiah fifty five, for my thoughts are not
- 46:55your thoughts. Neither are your wayte my way saying the Lord.
- 46:59Verse nine, it says for us, the heavens are higher
- 47:03than the earth. So are my ways higher than your ways,
- 47:07and my thoughts higher than your thoughts. Now look or
- 47:09please the word word w r D. Now, the Old
- 47:18Testament was written largely in Hebrew, and then the New
- 47:23Testament was written in a combination of Greek and Aramaic,
- 47:27and then with a little of Latin. Are we together? Now?
- 47:30The word the Greek word for word w r D
- 47:35is the word logos. Logos means the thoughts or the
- 47:40intention of a man that seeks to find expression. Please
- 47:46understand this now, The essence of that word word, it
- 47:50means the thoughts of a man that seeks to find expression.
- 47:55So when we say the word of God, we not
- 47:58only mean God himself, but we mean the thoughts the
- 48:02intentions of God. When we call Jesus Christ the Word
- 48:07of God, we mean that he is the living expression
- 48:10of the will and the intention of the Father. Everything
- 48:13the Father desired and desires was lived out through Jesus Christ.
- 48:19The Word of God is a revelation of the thoughts
- 48:22of God. The Word of God is a revelation of
- 48:26the intentions of God. That means, if you want to
- 48:30know what God is thinking, and if you want to
- 48:32know how God thinks, if you want to know what
- 48:35God intends for you, you can go to the Word
- 48:38of God, and you are safe whatever you find there.
- 48:41Can I tell you some of the things he has
- 48:43said Jeremiah twenty ninety eleven. I know the thoughts that
- 48:46I think towards you, say the Lord. They are thoughts
- 48:49of peace and not of evil. He says, to give
- 48:52you a future and an expected end. This is what
- 48:56God thinks about me. This is what God thinks about me.
- 49:03As a Chapter sixty one to three, our eyes shine
- 49:07your light has come. The glory of the Lord has
- 49:10reason upon you. Verse two says darkness covers the earth,
- 49:14gross darkness the people. But upon you the glory of
- 49:17the Lord shall be seen. This is what God is
- 49:19thinking about me. Verse three, Hallelujah, he says, gentiles will
- 49:23come to your light. These are the thoughts of God
- 49:25concerning you and your kings. To the brightness of your rising.
- 49:29That's what the Bible says. For your shame, you shall
- 49:32receive double he says. Where you have been deserted so
- 49:34that no man would pass through you, you become an
- 49:37eternal excellency, a joy of many generations. Thou shall be
- 49:41the head and not the tale. These are the thoughts
- 49:44of God. So when I studied the Word of God,
- 49:47I am accromatizing my mind. What does God think about me?
- 49:52How can I enter his mind? To know? The Word
- 49:55of God is a compendium of his thoughts and his intentions.
- 50:01You cannot be a student of the world and be
- 50:04in doubt about God's plan for your life. No, his
- 50:08plans are clear. The reason why we doubt what God
- 50:11wants for our lives. Is it God's will for me
- 50:14to be sick? Is it God's will for me to
- 50:16be healthy? Is it God's will for me to prosper?
- 50:18Is it God's will for me to fail? All those
- 50:20questions are a diagnosis showing that you do not know
- 50:24the word of God. Because in the world of God
- 50:29are his thoughts. There are many people who write wills,
- 50:38wil l the right wills. That means, if I pass on,
- 50:43this is how my estate and my properties should be shared.
- 50:46Is that true? If you Usually the man would not
- 50:49tell the family members, but you will capture it in
- 50:52a will. So when you carry that will, you are
- 50:54no longer in doubt. For instance, it passes on and
- 50:58there's all kinds of confusion. This land is mine. Ah ah,
- 51:02Just go and bring the will, and it is clearly
- 51:04stated there this one should be given to this The
- 51:08word of God is his will. That he has left
- 51:11is a revelation of what he has listened carefully contains
- 51:18his thoughts. I know what he has said about me
- 51:24his will. I know what he's thinking about me. Now,
- 51:27no body can preach me into believing something else. He
- 51:30has told me. I'm the head and not the tale.
- 51:33It's not an opinion, it's not a suggestion. It's not
- 51:35a tribal White, saying, this is his thoughts. This is
- 51:38what he's thinking concerning me. No we pant fashion, he said,
- 51:44Whippons don't just come there fashion. No we pant fashioned
- 51:50against me, shall prosper, That's what he's thinking. The Psteronomy
- 52:00twenty eight from verse one and two. And it shall
- 52:02come to pass. If thou shalt diligently happen to the
- 52:05voice of the Lord to do and observe all that
- 52:07I command you this day, then you shall be exalted
- 52:10above the nations of the earth. And this blessing shall
- 52:13come upon you and overtake you the thoughts of God.
- 52:17For my life, but my head, as thou exalted, like
- 52:21the horn of a unicorn, I am annointed with fresh
- 52:24oil his thoughts for me. Are you getting what I'm
- 52:27teaching you now? So you begin to compare what you believe,
- 52:32or what culture has told you, or what people who
- 52:35are not born again have told you, you compare it
- 52:38with the mind of God. We buy into the mind
- 52:41of God by opening up ourselves to the world of God.
- 52:47Why do we study the word of God? Why are
- 52:49we so passionate about the Word of God? Because we
- 52:52desire to know what he intends for us, and if
- 52:58it does not look like what we are seeing, we
- 53:01have the ability to petition Heaven and say, Father, you
- 53:04are thinking something else, and my life is reflecting something else.
- 53:09It is if you do not know the word of God,
- 53:11what are you praying? Then? Because the word of God
- 53:15becomes the legal basis for you approaching heaven. There is
- 53:20a disparity between what you are thinking and what is happening.
- 53:24Something is threatening your majesty and your might. As mighty
- 53:28as you are, you are thinking good, and yet I'm
- 53:30seeing evil in my life, and God says there is
- 53:33need to correct it. Someone is changing the equation somewhere,
- 53:37and he said, an enemy has done this. Now you
- 53:42can pray and engage all the forces that were given
- 53:46to believers to command victory through intelligence, because you have
- 53:50detected by knowledge that something is wrong. If you do
- 53:56not know what he has said, you will not even
- 53:58know what is wrong with your own life. Listen, if
- 54:02we siting here right now, and there is a rule
- 54:04in this place that every time we got that here,
- 54:08a bottle of minerals, for instance, or soft drink, and
- 54:13maybe morphins or meat pie should be given to everyone.
- 54:18You are aware. If you sit down here and you
- 54:21count two three hours and nothing is come, you have
- 54:25a right based on that knowledge to find out who
- 54:28is responsible. Because I am aware. But if you are
- 54:31not aware, you can sit down there for a long time.
- 54:35They know not neither will they understand. They work on
- 54:39in darkness. Why because they do not know the thoughts
- 54:42of God. So the devil can come and tell you
- 54:45it is the will of God for you to be
- 54:47a mediocre It is the will of God for you
- 54:49to do ministry as if God did not call you.
- 54:52It is the will of God for you to fail.
- 54:54It's the will of God for death to swip everyone
- 54:57in the family. And you say, it's true that ignore
- 55:00is because you do not know who God is. So
- 55:02the word of God explains to us the thoughts and
- 55:06the intents of God. Are we blessed? Number three, the
- 55:21word of God is a revelation of his system of operation.
- 55:26Please pay attention. We've discussed three things. Now, that the
- 55:30word of God is God an expression of himself. Number two,
- 55:34that the word of God is a revelation of his
- 55:37thoughts and his character. Now, number three, the word of
- 55:42God is a revelation of his system of operation, his ways,
- 55:47his methodology. Psalm twenty five from verse four and five.
- 55:54Palm twenty five from verse four and five. Show me
- 56:00thy ways, Oh God, he says, teach me thy paths.
- 56:04Next verse lead me in thy truth and teach me
- 56:09for now at the God of my salvation, on to deal.
- 56:13Will I wait all day long? He said, teach me
- 56:15thy ways, teach me thy way Psalms one or three,
- 56:20verse seven. Please give it to us quickly Psalms one
- 56:23O three and verse seven. He made known his ways
- 56:28onto Moses. He made known his ways onto Moses. Now
- 56:35please look up. I had the privilege of enjoying a
- 56:39wonderful meal when we arrived, wonderful meal, and by the
- 56:44way it was, it was. I think one day I
- 56:46would return here by myself and invite myself just not
- 56:50to come and preach, but to come and patronize the
- 56:53kind of wonderful meal and the juices that we've enjoyed.
- 56:57But not watch this. It's one thing for me to
- 57:01enjoy it. I don't know how it was made. I
- 57:04only knew it was good. The trouble is that they're
- 57:08the person who made it is not there. I'm in trouble.
- 57:12If that person really wants to help me more than
- 57:15giving me the food and the juices, they can call
- 57:18me to the kitchen and say, let me show you
- 57:20how it is made. Now, I'm not afraid of my
- 57:23results because the secret of reproducing it is now with me.
- 57:27God does not only want to give you miracles, science
- 57:29and wonders. He wants to call it to the inner
- 57:32chambers of the spirit and say, let me show you
- 57:34how miracles happen. Let me show you how results happen
- 57:38in this kingdom. Listen, look up. Do you know why
- 57:41stories in the Bible are so long and every detail
- 57:45is captured. It's not just the result God wants you
- 57:48to see. He wants you to study how the results happen.
- 57:53The things that are written at four time, the Bible
- 57:55says they are for our lending, so that we, through
- 57:59the comfort of scripture, might find hope. And hope makes
- 58:03not a shame. As a man of God, I can
- 58:07pray for you. Be healed, be blessed, May your chance
- 58:10to expand, May you increase. You will be afraid of
- 58:13that result, and then you will not be able to
- 58:16mentor and raise orders because you don't even understand the
- 58:18dynamics of that result. So the word of God teaches
- 58:21us the methodologists of the kingdom, like a chef calling
- 58:25you into the kitchen and say, let me teach you
- 58:27how this mysterious food that you see. Let me break
- 58:30it down. First, you start with water. Don't worry whether
- 58:34I'm right or wrong. Second, you start with whatever. Third,
- 58:38you start with this and then leave this for five minutes.
- 58:41Then you make it, make a few mistakes, he said,
- 58:43no problem, let's do it again. They are not just
- 58:45teaching you to eat. They're teaching you how to cook. Well,
- 58:49there are women here, even if they want to cook
- 58:51for one thousand people. You are not afraid. Because of mastery.
- 58:56You understand how to do this thing. You are not afraid.
- 59:02Listen to me. We become matured and we become masters
- 59:05in this kingdom when we are able to handle the
- 59:08world of truth, when we understand the dynamics of how
- 59:11results happen in the kingdom. So if someone comes for counseling,
- 59:16I say, ma, short believer, not just a man of God.
- 59:20As a match short believer, you can immediately diagnose his
- 59:23problem and you can recommend it like a doctor. When
- 59:26you are speaking to a doctor. Doctor, I started shivering
- 59:29this morning, then I had headache, then joined plains. He
- 59:32starts laughing, because there is mastery he has. He was
- 59:35not just taught how to administer drugs. He was taken
- 59:38to a class and shown that this, symptoms mean this.
- 59:42So while you are talking, he can even be making
- 59:44a call while he's listening to you. That's how much
- 59:46he has gained mastery. And he would recommend a drug
- 59:49and not call you up to check up on you.
- 59:50He's shaw that you'll be fine two days after taking
- 59:56that drug, he said. Doctor, he said, don't worry, just
- 59:59keep taking it, and after five days you are running
- 1:00:02around playing football mastray. When you understand this, someone can
- 1:00:06come and say, poverty is destroy my family and now
- 1:00:09you are a blessing. You will say, I know. Carry
- 1:00:12your pen and paper, write the following scriptures. I know
- 1:00:15what is wrong, and I know how. You are not
- 1:00:18a blessing. If you do not know the ways of God,
- 1:00:21you can't be able to help people in a methodical way.
- 1:00:24Mentorship is based on this body of truth that lives believers.
- 1:00:29There is a methodical approach to the growth and the
- 1:00:33maturity of the saints This is what doctrine is all about.
- 1:00:37The cost curriculum that makes for the growth of the
- 1:00:40saints is called doctrine. Are you learning anything tonight, Apostle.
- 1:00:53I know God works miracles, but I don't know why.
- 1:00:56I don't see it in my life. The Word of
- 1:00:58God can teach you how miracles happen. Apostle, I know
- 1:01:04God favors, but I've never seen this favor in my life.
- 1:01:08The Word of God has come. Don't look at the result.
- 1:01:12Let me show you how it happened. I know the
- 1:01:14Word of God can impart fit, but I don't know
- 1:01:17how it is. Then he says, let me use a figure.
- 1:01:20Look on to Abraham, your father, on the study Him
- 1:01:24on the study Esther to lend favor, on the study
- 1:01:27Abraham to lend faith, on the study Elijah to lend prayer.
- 1:01:33There are portraits that lead to exact spiritual results. You
- 1:01:37can study them and len Apostle, what I have is
- 1:01:43not enough. I know that what I have is not enough.
- 1:01:47You go to the world of God. What did Jesus
- 1:01:49do with what is not enough? Number one? He gave thanks,
- 1:01:52So stop complaining any anytime you complain about what is
- 1:01:57not enough? You have killed the potential for increase. Are
- 1:02:01you seeing how the Word of God called us? Now, oh, apostle,
- 1:02:05there's no I don't have this enough. No no, no, no no, no,
- 1:02:09give thanks, give, thanks Lord. I thank you that I
- 1:02:13even have the feast for one of my child I
- 1:02:17know that I need for five of them. But you
- 1:02:19are the one who has given me this one. And
- 1:02:22I am grateful. And God says this is for me.
- 1:02:25Now you are ready to turn your fife, loaf and
- 1:02:27your two fish to feed five thousand people. It's formula.
- 1:02:33So those who are thankful, dancing and celebrating God every time,
- 1:02:39they may not be anything at Oh my, yeah, they're rejoicing.
- 1:02:42You see them testifying miracles upon miracles, because they are
- 1:02:45engaging an exact spiritual formula. Please look at me. One
- 1:02:49of the major reasons why we press for the Word
- 1:02:53of God is because we want to know how God operates.
- 1:03:00You're a man of God. Here you are trusting God
- 1:03:01for increase. Maybe in your church you are trusting God
- 1:03:07for increase. Greater souls. You go back, how did increase
- 1:03:11happen in the kingdom? The formula again? And I if
- 1:03:15I be lifted up from the earth. I will draw
- 1:03:19Paul can plant, Apollo, ca and water, but increases exclusively
- 1:03:24of God. So the more Jesus is revealed and lifted
- 1:03:30in your life and in your congregation, then you see
- 1:03:34that he will begin to draw men. Have you seen
- 1:03:36how this thing works? Question? Now that you are seated here,
- 1:03:41if you look at your life, you see the gaps
- 1:03:44in your results. You must go to the Bible. I
- 1:03:48am I seem not to be prayer for my prayer
- 1:03:52life seems to have died. Don't feel discourage. You go
- 1:03:55to scripture. You such, where did resurrection happen? As far
- 1:04:00someone's prayer life is concerned, I don't know if prayer
- 1:04:03is powerful. Go to scripture and find out two instances
- 1:04:08to show you the power of prayer. Number one Isaiah
- 1:04:11eighteen hes Akiah, who turned a verdict God's own verdict.
- 1:04:17Not body in that rendition was fake. The prophet was real,
- 1:04:21God was real, The verdict was true, Yet prayer changed it.
- 1:04:25So is prayer powerful? Yes, sir? Next expression look eighteen
- 1:04:30from verse one, he spake a parable to the end
- 1:04:32that man ought always to pray and not to faint.
- 1:04:35Seen one. It talks about a wicked man. There was
- 1:04:41in a city a widow, a George. May you never
- 1:04:46made this kind of George. A George who does not
- 1:04:49fear God. You can't say God sent me to you
- 1:04:53and does not regard man. You can't say. This man
- 1:04:55said you should know. And then the Bible now talks
- 1:04:58of a widow. A widow is a a woman who
- 1:05:00had the system of defense has been taken away. So
- 1:05:03it's contrasting two people. To show you the power of prayer.
- 1:05:08She went to him and said, avenge me my adversary,
- 1:05:11and the Bible says for a time he would not.
- 1:05:15And then here's what the man said. By her continual coming,
- 1:05:18her importunity, he said, though I do not fear God
- 1:05:21nor regard man, but this woman will weary me. That
- 1:05:25means when you pray, there is an effect in the spirit,
- 1:05:28even though you are not Seid, the strongest of forces,
- 1:05:31when you are consistent in prayer. Eventually, the Bible talks
- 1:05:38about Elijah in James chapter five began to read from
- 1:05:42verse sixteen down that Elijah was a man of like passion,
- 1:05:45but he prayed earnestly and changed climatic conditions. It was
- 1:05:50not a parable. It actually happened. Now by those scriptures,
- 1:05:56you now know that prayer is powerful. So when you
- 1:05:58go to pray, you are not hoping. Will God answer?
- 1:06:02Can you really change this situation? The world of God
- 1:06:05has shown you how God works. You may be in
- 1:06:09a pit and a situation. Maybe you are in debt,
- 1:06:11you are in trouble. Can God deliver go to the
- 1:06:16world to lend his ways. The worst kind of trouble
- 1:06:20that a man can find in this life is to
- 1:06:23be in the bellue of a fish. And the Bible
- 1:06:27says there was a human being like that one day
- 1:06:30on it As we sit that here, someone was one
- 1:06:33day in the bellue of the fish, and he said,
- 1:06:35I will still not dying. I can determine my destiny.
- 1:06:38What else is left when you're in the bellue of
- 1:06:40the fish? For you, you've not entered that. You are
- 1:06:42still Britain, you are still standing, and yet you are hopeless.
- 1:06:45He man, it's already in the bellue of the fish.
- 1:06:47Digestion is about to start. Jonah said, fish, you are joking.
- 1:06:51You don't know who created me. I may not understand
- 1:06:54the digestive system, but I assure you it's not me.
- 1:06:57You will swallow Jonah's story. It teaches us that there
- 1:07:00is nothing called hopeless, nothing called hopeless. One of the
- 1:07:12three Hebrew boys who were thrown in fire and their
- 1:07:16chains were loosed, and the appearance of the fourth was
- 1:07:19like the son of the Living God. And the Bible
- 1:07:22says these were men who the fire had no power on.
- 1:07:28What of acts Chapter twelve, you read about the story
- 1:07:31of Peter, bound Hand and Shane after they killed James,
- 1:07:36But prayers was offered of the church onto God for him,
- 1:07:41and Bible says a miracle began to happen. An angel
- 1:07:45came and opened all those doors. There is no situation
- 1:07:52called hopeless. You see, when you study scripture, you lend
- 1:07:57the ways of God, and you know that God, it's
- 1:08:01not only a mighty God, but there is how he
- 1:08:03delivers you. Follow what they did at midnight. Paul and
- 1:08:08Silas prayed. They did not pray when they were outside
- 1:08:11of the prison. So there's no excuse for not praying. Lord,
- 1:08:14I'm depressing. And they prayed with chains. They even sang.
- 1:08:19You don't pray and sing when you are delivered. You
- 1:08:22prayer sing to be delivered. I'll sing onto the Lord
- 1:08:29for years.
- 1:08:30Speaker 7: Try your gloriously the horses and his riders.
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: Have been thrown into the sea. That's the song of
- 1:08:41Miriam when they saw the mighty hand of God, a
- 1:08:46pil out of cloud by day, fire by night, red sea,
- 1:08:51at the instance of his word, and Miriam said, no,
- 1:08:55we can't just pass. Let us write this song. After
- 1:08:58this experience, I will sing unto the Lord for years,
- 1:09:05try young gloriously. The Horsey san Its riders have been
- 1:09:11drawn into the sea. So when someone says your family
- 1:09:16will never rise, and you look at him and sing
- 1:09:18the same song, I'll sing unto the Lord, for he
- 1:09:23has try You'm gloriously.
- 1:09:26Speaker 7: The Horsey san Is riders have been drawn into the sea.
- 1:09:36Speaker 1: The word of God a manifestation of God himself. The
- 1:09:43word of God a revelation of the thoughts and the
- 1:09:47intents of God. The word of God as a revelation
- 1:09:53of his methodologies, his ways, the way results are producing
- 1:10:02the kingdom, the way influence happens, the way prosperity happens. Apostle,
- 1:10:08I'm trusting God to lift me to write to a
- 1:10:11higher level of influence for the sake of the kingdom.
- 1:10:13Go to the Bible. Then, how did influence happen. Study
- 1:10:17the life of Joseph. How did a prisoner suddenly become
- 1:10:21a prime minister? How did a slave girl called Hardasa
- 1:10:24suddenly become a queen? Study their lives find the keys
- 1:10:28for growth there. Listen, every time you study scriptures to
- 1:10:33learn the ways of God, there are three things you
- 1:10:35are going to find. Number one promises, Number two principles,
- 1:10:42Number three prophecies. You must find these three as you
- 1:10:48study scripture. Number one again promises God's commitment towards you.
- 1:10:53Number two principles, the keys of the kingdom that are
- 1:10:58responsible for the very us dimensions of results that translate
- 1:11:02into our dominion. And then number three prophecy, a fond
- 1:11:06knowledge of the things that will happen, to give us
- 1:11:09hope and to give us assurance. Because if our hope,
- 1:11:12it's only in this life. The Bible declares that we are,
- 1:11:15of all men, most miserable. It's God helping us tonight.
- 1:11:22Let me round up. Therefore, as we pray by revealing,
- 1:11:28maybe we can just take one for tonight. There are
- 1:11:32four things, four dimensions of power that are contained in
- 1:11:36the world of God. The Word of God is powerful,
- 1:11:40but there are four dimensions of power at least contained
- 1:11:46in the world of God. Are you ready pleased? We
- 1:11:48may just have one and then we'll pray it's God
- 1:11:51blessing us tonight. The first dimension of power that is
- 1:11:57contained in the world of God is the power to
- 1:12:00create Hebrews eleven, verse three Coasubrakatabadi. To create from the
- 1:12:10ex definition means to make something out of nothing. To
- 1:12:14create from the realm of the spirit means to transport
- 1:12:17realities and make them manifest. Hear the creative power of
- 1:12:23God's word Hebrews eleven, verse three. Through faith, we understand
- 1:12:29that the worlds were framed. That means they had their
- 1:12:33physical expression by the Word of God, so that the
- 1:12:37things which were not made, which were made seen were
- 1:12:43not made of things which do appear. That means the
- 1:12:45raw material of the things we see today, they came
- 1:12:50from the realm of the Spirit. The word of God
- 1:12:57has power to create. John Chapter one and verse three.
- 1:13:03John chapter one, verse three. We have looked at the
- 1:13:06world of what the world of God is. Now we're
- 1:13:08looking at the dimensions of power. There are four dimensions
- 1:13:12of power contained in the world of God. Number one
- 1:13:16is the power to create. John one three. All things someone,
- 1:13:20say all things one more time. Please shout to say
- 1:13:23all things, all things. Your finance is part of all things.
- 1:13:30Listen to me, your family is part of all things.
- 1:13:34Anything the world of God cannot make cannot be made.
- 1:13:39Anything the world of God cannot make cannot be made.
- 1:13:43The Bible says all things were made by Him and
- 1:13:46without him, without him means outside of his influence, was
- 1:13:51not anything made that was made. So when they look
- 1:13:56at you and say how did you rise, you know
- 1:13:58the answer. The word of God. There is the lifting
- 1:14:02power of his world. Listen to me in the name
- 1:14:06of Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God. I
- 1:14:08speak to someone here the things that your destiny needs
- 1:14:12that have not yet manifested by the power of the world.
- 1:14:17I decree and declare. May you see them begin to
- 1:14:20appear in your life. Lissen them. The word of God
- 1:14:28can create, It can make what has no business happening
- 1:14:33in your life to happen. Saul had no business becoming
- 1:14:42a prophet. Saul had no business receiving bread from visitors.
- 1:14:47But a word came from God through a prophet. You
- 1:14:52will be on your way going. You will find three
- 1:14:55men holding to a loaf of bread. They bought that
- 1:14:58bread to go home with it. Because the world is
- 1:15:01upon your life. They will bow to you and give
- 1:15:04you the word of God. Can create. Listen, strip every
- 1:15:15man of anything, he has, his houses, casts, everything, but
- 1:15:19give him the word of God, and say go. That
- 1:15:22man did not lose as he is going from all
- 1:15:27over the head whatever his destiny needs the word of God.
- 1:15:32Like a magnet. You don't pick needles one by one.
- 1:15:37That's too laborious. Find a powerful magnet. Pass it on
- 1:15:41the ground. Everything that is magnetic must follow it. That's
- 1:15:46what happens to you when the word of God is
- 1:15:49upon your life. Thank you. When the word of God
- 1:15:53is upon your life, immediately listen carefully everything at all
- 1:16:00that should be for life and godliness. So this how
- 1:16:05it starts. Come. Can I use you, my brother? Watch this.
- 1:16:09This gentleman may have come from a family with no advantage,
- 1:16:14a family with no lifting. Can anything good come out
- 1:16:18of this family? Then he sits down, and as the
- 1:16:21world of God is coming, he does not even know
- 1:16:23what is happening to him. As he begins to move.
- 1:16:25Favor meets him on the way, Lifting meets him on
- 1:16:29the way. Destiny to help us meet him on the way.
- 1:16:32Three years of sitting with the world, he turns work out.
- 1:16:35We said, where did you get them from? The world
- 1:16:37of God brought them? Looking for those things by themselves
- 1:16:43will be a journey of frustration. One thing is needful,
- 1:16:47matter matter, you are worried and offended by this. One
- 1:16:51thing is needful. If you can sit at the Master's table.
- 1:16:57The word of God exhibits magnetic properties. It's on you,
- 1:17:03and while you are roaming around, find a way of
- 1:17:10believing what I have to say. It's true. The word
- 1:17:15of God can change you. In ancient times, when fathers
- 1:17:19wanted to bless their children, they didn't bless them with
- 1:17:23physical things. They would those they give physical things to,
- 1:17:27where those who they did not consider important. So they'll say, okay,
- 1:17:30take this, take that. Then they'll call the sons inside
- 1:17:33and say, look, if I give you physical things, I'm
- 1:17:36a wicked father. I give you something God. The person
- 1:17:42will go and return back with cattle, return back with plenty.
- 1:17:47The word of God. Everything that must appear in your life.
- 1:17:54I'm standing in the name of Jesus, and I'm speaking
- 1:17:58to you everything that you need for your spiritual life,
- 1:18:03for your finances. You have prayed, you have done all
- 1:18:07you know to do. I stand in the name of Jesus,
- 1:18:10whose I am and who sent me here? I declare
- 1:18:13some of you even before tomorrow, May it appe in
- 1:18:16your life. Please see down that's round them Collosians one sixteen.
- 1:18:31That would be a final scripture for tonight. Please do
- 1:18:33not miss any of the sessions. I'll be showing you
- 1:18:40what the power of God contains, the dimensions of power,
- 1:18:45and then we're going to be praying. Hopefully before the session.
- 1:18:49Maybe the finance session will have the opportunity to pray
- 1:18:52for the sick. Speak over our lives and impact graces
- 1:18:58and importation is a transparent of possibilities. It's part of
- 1:19:03the Apostolic ministry that every time God grants a privilege
- 1:19:07to come across the region by the election of grace,
- 1:19:10there will be a deposit of diviar realities, so that
- 1:19:15men within the territory in greater levels will be on
- 1:19:17fire manifesting possibilities that will bring glory to the name
- 1:19:22of the Lord. Collosians one sixteen. Please read with me,
- 1:19:36everyone ready, read one to read, For by Him were
- 1:19:40all things created that are in heaven and that are
- 1:19:45in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be dominions, principalities,
- 1:19:56all things, the creative power, all things, all things, all things, favor,
- 1:20:09all things, lifting, all things, supernatural, manifestation, all things. Let
- 1:20:15me tell you this, If God decides that I'm creating
- 1:20:20a brand new possibility for you, he can use anything,
- 1:20:24even stones. Anything. You've sat here tonight learning the ways
- 1:20:33of God first finding your passion to know God. The
- 1:20:37more for some of you, more than the teaching tonight,
- 1:20:40the Lord is cultivating in you a hunger for spiritual
- 1:20:45things so that you will begin to love Him, and
- 1:20:49you will begin to cry. Some of you will go
- 1:20:52back after this conference and you say, Lord, reveal yourself
- 1:20:55again to me. I'm tired of plain religion. I'm tired
- 1:20:59of just writing my exams by myself and marking the script.
- 1:21:04There is. There is so much I need to know.
- 1:21:06It's a holy provocation. Don't fight it. It's challenging you,
- 1:21:10those who bear fruity puns, so that they will bear
- 1:21:12more fruit. Because hear me, there are many destinies that
- 1:21:15are connected to you as you are listening to me,
- 1:21:18and if you stop at this level, there are destinies
- 1:21:20that will be destroyed. So more than what you are hearing,
- 1:21:24you must go back. Fight the spirit that has killed
- 1:21:27your prayer life. Fights the spirit that has killed your
- 1:21:30word life, some of you your passion for the world.
- 1:21:33Here and there you may just watch a ten minutes
- 1:21:35video on YouTube. Go back now with a renewed passion.
- 1:21:38I now see what the devil has been fighting my
- 1:21:41authority in the kingdom. Because it is true knowledge, the
- 1:21:46rude Shat be delivered. We rise up in this kingdom
- 1:21:50by revelation. Please rise upon your feet shella bakasava la dabah.
- 1:22:00One minute. I'd like you to just pray in the
