• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Father, tonight we pray that we will see light in
• 2:34
  your light. You are the light of the world, and
• 2:37
  you have also called us light. We pray that your
• 2:41
  world will come with power tonight transit us to higher dimensions.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: In the spirit.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: In the name of Jesus Christ, we submit ourselves our
• 2:51
  minds to your world, and we contend for transformation tonight.
• 2:56
  And to Jesus be all the glory and Amen, God,
• 3:00
  bless you, please be seated.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Good evening everyone.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: To those here and to those connected across the globe,
• 3:12
  you will keep going from strength to strength because you
• 3:16
  are here before the Lord. Even in Zion one scripture
• 3:20
  very quickly. This scripture was quickened in my heart as
• 3:24
  I prayed for tonight's meeting. Philippians, chapter one and verse six.
• 3:28
  When God speaks like this, I believe that it is
• 3:31
  a prophetic word for someone. It says, being confident of
• 3:35
  this very thing, that he which hath begune a good
• 3:39
  work in you will perform it until the day of Christ.
• 3:46
  I believe that this comes as a prophetic word to
• 3:49
  encourage someone to plant in you that seed to stay
• 3:54
  and remain, to remain resilient, to remain consistent. The Bible says,
• 3:59
  let us not be weary in well doing it. Says,
• 4:02
  for we will read not any day, not every day.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: In due season.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: If we fail not, allelujah, May that be a prophetic
• 4:12
  word for you in the name of Jesus, Allelujah. It
• 4:19
  matters that we submit ourselves to the word of God.
• 4:23
  In Matthew, chapter four and verse four, Jesus speaking to
• 4:27
  Satan said, man shall not leave by bread alone. There
• 4:35
  is a bread component to man's living, man's survival, man's excelling.
• 4:41
  But it says, but by every word that proceeded out
• 4:46
  of the mouth of God, by every word. That means
• 4:51
  every word that comes out of the mouth of God
• 4:54
  is a survival strategy. Every word that comes out of
• 4:59
  the mouth of God is a survival strategy.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Do not forget this.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Every word that comes out of the mouth of God
• 5:08
  is a survival strategy. You know, I was thinking through
• 5:12
  the things that I'll be sharing tonight, and I had
• 5:15
  to take a deep breath and just you know, cry
• 5:18
  out my heart in prayer that God will help the
• 5:21
  coin on your global family first and then the body
• 5:24
  of Christ to really understand the reality of the times
• 5:29
  that we're living in right now. The times that we're
• 5:32
  living in will test everything you know and we will
• 5:36
  reveal how much you do not know.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: The times that we live in right now will.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Test everything you know, and will go further to reveal
• 5:48
  how many things you do not know.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Allelujah. Everything.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: The world that we live in today is not the
• 5:58
  world that we have ten years ago or twenty years ago.
• 6:02
  The Bible tells us the things that characterize the end times.
• 6:06
  That knowledge will increase. With that knowledge would come wickedness,
• 6:10
  every fabrication of evil that the heart of man can conceive.
• 6:15
  And for you to survive these days, not the days coming,
• 6:19
  the days we are now in.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: You need bread for the journey, but you need the
• 6:26
  proceeding word of God.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: And God speaks to men by his spirit, but he
• 6:33
  speaks to men through men.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Allelujah.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: He told Moses, he said, I have seen the affliction
• 6:40
  of my people by reason.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Of their taskmasters, and I am calmed down.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: And yet we never saw him physically, but we saw
• 6:48
  the man, the scent man Moses.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Allelujah. And so every time you are in church.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Don't have the mentality that you're just coming for service,
• 7:01
  to honor a religious program or sign a psychological register.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: See that God is about to hand you another key that.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Becomes the basis of your fortification, the basis of your
• 7:16
  working and living in victory.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Allelujah.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: That demands not only your attendance, It demands your wrapped attention,
• 7:26
  your undivided attention.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: It is in His light that we see light.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: But believe me when I tell you that for every believer,
• 7:39
  the things that you know will be tested in light
• 7:44
  of the days and the times that we're in now.
• 7:47
  If you claim you have found the key to living
• 7:50
  and working in health, it will be tested. If you
• 7:53
  claim you have found the key that puts a man
• 7:56
  in victory in spite of the visitudes of life, life
• 8:01
  will test it. Some of you are already going through
• 8:04
  that school testing everything. If you claim you know God,
• 8:09
  life will test it. You claim you love God, life
• 8:15
  will test it. You claim you want to serve God
• 8:18
  all the days of your life, life will test it.
• 8:22
  You claim you love Him in spite of abundance or otherwise,
• 8:25
  life will test it.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Allelujah. That means that everything you receive in.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: A house like this, you don't just let it pass
• 8:36
  through this ear and fly out through the other ear.
• 8:38
  The Bible says, ever learning ah and never coming to
• 8:43
  the knowledge of the truth. There are such people as
• 8:46
  so they are ever learning. Yes, sir, preach, Preacher tell
• 8:50
  them and all this, and at the end of it
• 8:53
  they go back with absolutely nothing. What did you learn today?
• 8:57
  I was a powerful service, my God. What exactly did
• 9:01
  you learn? Just believe me and the.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: One who knows what I learned? Allelujah.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: So it is very important that we understand that every
• 9:18
  proceeding word from the Lord to you is meant to
• 9:22
  equip you, to transform you, to transit you. I told
• 9:27
  you that revelation creates transitions. That every time the word
• 9:32
  of God comes to you as ramor as revelation, it
• 9:35
  stops you from remaining at that point, stops you from
• 9:39
  remaining in that position, or stops you from remaining in
• 9:43
  that condition, because the proceeding word is also the sen word,
• 9:49
  and the Bible says he sent forth his word, and
• 9:52
  his word he led them.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: He never said he led all. He let them and
• 9:58
  delivered them from all their destructions. So I pray for
• 10:04
  you tonight.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Already meet tonight's teaching profit you greatly shouted, believers, Amen, allelujah.
• 10:15
  What we teach in this place is the wisdom of God.
• 10:19
  It's important for you to appreciate this. What you hear
• 10:23
  in Koinonia is not mere information. It's not just mayor
• 10:28
  Bible discussion or intellectual discussion. What you hear is called
• 10:33
  the wisdom of God, and First Corinthians two and verse seven,
• 10:37
  I believe, says it is the wisdom of God that
• 10:40
  has been ordained for our glory. There is a kind
• 10:44
  of wisdom that was ordained for the glory of the saints.
• 10:48
  There is useless information, even if spiritual, because it does
• 10:53
  not sustain the power to profit the saints.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: In light of real life circumstances.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: But there is the wisdom that has been hidden, reserved
• 11:05
  for the saints, revealed by the spirit. And the Bible
• 11:10
  says there is an ordination upon that wisdom that God has,
• 11:14
  through that wisdom, ordained that when we find access to
• 11:18
  that wisdom, our lives will be an expression of His glory.
• 11:24
  Perhaps I should teach you very quickly that there is
• 11:28
  a difference between knowledge, understanding and wisdom.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: I think we should start from there tonight.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: There is a difference between knowledge, between knowledge understanding and wisdom.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: And I'll tell you the difference.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Knowledge is simply a coordinated gathering of information.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Access to information is called knowledge.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Knowledge is very important because that is the foundation of wisdom.
• 12:02
  There cannot be wisdom without knowledge. There cannot be understanding
• 12:06
  without knowledge. Understanding only finds its value when you have knowledge.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: Are we together?
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: The assignment of wisdom is to bring within your The
• 12:15
  assignment of knowledge is to bring within your space information
• 12:21
  that can be profitable. Please listen, God is building us already.
• 12:26
  The assignment of knowledge is to bring to your space,
• 12:30
  or to bring to your consciousness. Knowledge that can profit
• 12:35
  you doesn't mean it will profit you, but it is
• 12:38
  knowledge that can profit you.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: You have that now.
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: The next step after knowledge is understanding. What is understanding comprehension.
• 12:50
  Comprehension the working dynamics, the working dynamics that release the
• 12:57
  profit captured.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: In that knowledge is called understanding.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: So if all you have is the gathering or the
• 13:04
  consciousness of an information, you may have knowledge, but you
• 13:07
  will have the same destiny as an ignorant person.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: And this is what a lot of believers, a lot of.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Believers keep priding and bragging I know, I know, and
• 13:17
  yet the results clearly.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Show that we do not know.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: So knowledge gives room for understanding comprehension. What do you
• 13:28
  comprehend the working dynamics, deriving the principle that connects the.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Dots the information you have now.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: Gathered, the principles that release the profit factor in that knowledge.
• 13:46
  So knowledge has to do with the gathering, coordinated gathering
• 13:50
  of information useful information.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Understanding has to do with.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Comprehension, understanding the principles connected to or the principles that
• 14:02
  activate that body of truth you have now found. But
• 14:05
  wisdom is very different because wisdom has to do with
• 14:10
  engaging the practical aspect of engaging what you understand the
• 14:15
  correct application.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Are we together?
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: Now? Wisdom has to do with applying what you have understood,
• 14:22
  the knowledge you have now understood.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: If you have the.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: Grace and intelligence to engage it for your profiting, it
• 14:31
  is called wisdom. So when there is no action, it
• 14:35
  is not wisdom. You see that, Now, I know that
• 14:40
  this is what God wants me to do, all right?
• 14:43
  I move past the realm of knowledge to understanding, and
• 14:49
  then I understand the dynamics of how to engage it
• 14:52
  for my profiting. But I can have knowledge and understanding
• 14:56
  and still be barding of results.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: It is when I apply with them.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: Engaging it, they hurt the world just like we did.
• 15:04
  The Bible says, but the world did not profit them.
• 15:08
  That means the world had profit in it, but the
• 15:11
  world did not profit them.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Why not? Being mixed with faith.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: Engaging the world for your profiting is where wisdom comes.
• 15:23
  So most people say I have wisdom. What they just
• 15:26
  mean is I have a better information than what you have.
• 15:29
  That is still not wisdom. The fruit of wisdom is
• 15:33
  seen in its ability to impact grace upon you, to
• 15:37
  engage the world until it works for you. That is
• 15:41
  the reason why wisdom is connected to mighty works. You
• 15:44
  see that now when you have wisdom, it is connected
• 15:48
  to mighty works. Because the proof that you have wisdom
• 15:52
  is that you.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Know what to do and you do it.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: It says, now that ye know these things, blessed are
• 15:58
  you if you do them? You are not blessed when
• 16:02
  you know what scripture is that, now that you know
• 16:05
  these things, blessed, happy.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Are you if you do them? Very very important.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: There are many believers that know what to do, but
• 16:18
  they don't pay attention. Now that you know these things
• 16:22
  John thirteen, Yeah, seventeen, thank you if you know these things?
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Happy?
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: In fact, give us an IV. I think it presents
• 16:28
  it in a way that it says, now that you
• 16:31
  know these things, you will be blessed if you do them,
• 16:35
  not if you know them. Now that you know them,
• 16:38
  your problem is not a knowledge problem. In fact, it
• 16:41
  may not even be an understanding problem. A wisdom problem
• 16:45
  is that you have not sustained a grace to engage
• 16:48
  consistently until it delivers.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Are we together?
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: So when Jesus says I will build my church, immediately
• 17:01
  you know that that is wisdom personallyfied speaking, because it
• 17:04
  is true wisdom.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Anything is built.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: When he says I will build my church, it means
• 17:10
  you cannot take away the wisdom component.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: From the believer's experience.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: There is no other way the believer is built if
• 17:18
  you take wisdom out of the way.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Allelujah. Are we learning?
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: So have this at the back of your mind that
• 17:29
  the teachings you are receiving, particularly this year, as survival strategies.
• 17:36
  They help you to thrive. They help you to survive
• 17:40
  and to excel even in this be devil world that
• 17:45
  we live in right now. And I'm praying for you
• 17:47
  in the name of Jesus, that tonight's teaching will be
• 17:50
  no different.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: You believe that shout a louder Amen.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: Tonight, I'm teaching on a topic that seeks to help
• 17:59
  us become better reflections of the Christ. Jesus Christ himself
• 18:06
  is a very powerful mystery.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: I want to show you.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: It will help you if you desire God, if you
• 18:13
  desire to be a person of stature spiritually, if you
• 18:16
  want your becoming like Christ to be very methodical, than
• 18:20
  tonight's teaching is for you. I'm teaching on the spiritual man.
• 18:25
  The spiritual man Romance, chapter eight and verse six. The
• 18:30
  spiritual man, the Bible says for it, to be canally
• 18:35
  minded is death. To be cannally minded is death. But
• 18:42
  to be spiritually minded is life and peace. That means
• 18:47
  the only way to truly find life and with it
• 18:50
  peace is to be spiritually minded. Second Scripture, First Corinthians,
• 18:55
  chapter two, will read verse fourteen to sixteen.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Yes Lord, yes, Lord, you are the king. There is
• 19:09
  none other.
• 19:11
  Speaker 6: Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes Lord, yes Lord, yes Lord.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: You are the king. There is Lona, yes Lord, yes, Lord,
• 19:34
  yes very powerful song. Yes Lord, yes Lord, you are
• 19:44
  the King.
• 19:45
  Speaker 7: There is no other.
• 19:48
  Speaker 8: Yes Lord, yes.
• 19:53
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: It was in the place of meditation many years ago
• 20:00
  that this song came. I remember still remember, like yesterday,
• 20:04
  rested my head meditating late into the night, and this
• 20:08
  song just came like a stream from heaven into my spirit.
• 20:13
  It's a song that acknowledges his lordship that it doesn't
• 20:17
  matter what happens in the world of men, he is
• 20:20
  still King, He's still Lord, and there.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Is none other.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Many many people can rise and claim to be kings
• 20:28
  and gods, but there is only one King.
• 20:31
  Speaker 9: You believe that, Hall lou le Lou, hally lou, you
• 20:46
  are God, hally hally hally bah.
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: You are the.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: Yes Lord, Yes Lord, you are the King.
• 21:11
  Speaker 10: There is not a yes Lord, Yes Lord, Yes Lord,
• 21:22
  Yes Lord, Yes Lord, you are the key.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: There is not.
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: Yes Lord.
• 21:32
  Speaker 7: Lord.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: Not every believer can be a reflection of the glory
• 21:46
  of the christ inexperience God intends for everyone. It's in
• 21:51
  our prophetic destiny corporately as believers, to step into this
• 21:57
  realm and this dimension in the spirit, where our lives
• 22:01
  become a worthy capture. The Bible tells us that the
• 22:05
  life we have received is abondance, life, life to its fullest.
• 22:10
  But you and I will never be able to come
• 22:12
  into the experience of being reflections of the Christ experientially.
• 22:20
  And the reason is because not every believer is able
• 22:25
  to capture and host the fullness of Christ in experience.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Being a believer is profitable.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: But just because you have become a believer does not mean,
• 22:38
  please listen carefully that your Christian experience will be a
• 22:42
  perfect representation of God's intention. The same way a student
• 22:47
  gets admission into college or any school at all, any institution,
• 22:51
  just because the student has his admission letter bonner fide
• 22:55
  admission letter does not make the person a doctor, or
• 22:59
  an engineer or an architect.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: Are we together? Now the person is.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: In school, the admission letter is there valid in fact,
• 23:09
  But the moment the person is admitted, are we together?
• 23:12
  The transition in knowledge from one department, one faculty, one
• 23:17
  school of thought to the other until the curriculum allotted
• 23:22
  to award that degree is exhausted by that person. This
• 23:25
  is how it is spiritually. So there are many believers
• 23:28
  who are saved, and the only reason why you believe
• 23:32
  they are saved was because you saw them when they
• 23:35
  were making the out call.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Else there is.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: Nothing captured in the faith work that justifies that they
• 23:44
  actually encountered Christ, it ought not to be. So it
• 23:48
  is possible that you can be genuinely saved, but everything
• 23:52
  around your life speaks otherwise, to a point that people
• 23:55
  put doubt your salvation and say, I'm not sure you
• 23:58
  have encountered the Christ. And the reason is because most
• 24:01
  believers sadly have been taught that all dear is to
• 24:05
  the believers experience is to get saved. And I've taught
• 24:10
  you here that that is only the initial step. That
• 24:14
  just because you have received the life of God does
• 24:18
  not mean you are manifesting the Christ or reflecting that life.
• 24:21
  In Galatians, chapter four and verse nineteen, Paul the Apostle
• 24:25
  was speaking to believers.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: Who were already saved.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: These were believers he was mentoring, and yes, what he
• 24:33
  told them, my little children, he said, of whom I
• 24:37
  travel in birth again until Christ be formed in you.
• 24:45
  He's speaking to people who already received eternal life, and
• 24:49
  now he's talking about another.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Reality, the formation of Christ.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: He's saying, I am like a woman in labor, a
• 24:57
  woman who is about to give birth, and all the constraints.
• 25:00
  He's saying, this is how much I constrain myself with
• 25:03
  one desire to see the Christ formed in you. That
• 25:08
  means something happens to a believer who is not led
• 25:13
  through the path that leads to the formation of Christ.
• 25:16
  As you'll be learning tonight. The quality of the believer
• 25:23
  eventually means faith work is not just dependent on the
• 25:27
  truthfulness of his new birth experience, but the degree to
• 25:31
  which Christ is formed in that person. And the Bible
• 25:35
  identifies three kinds of believers. I want you to work
• 25:38
  carefully now with me. Three kinds of believers. Number one,
• 25:45
  the Bible lets us know that there is what we
• 25:48
  call a natural man, first and foremost, that one is
• 25:53
  not even a believer. In fact, let me put it
• 25:55
  this way, there are three kinds of men from his
• 25:59
  spiritual point. So men are categorized in three. There is
• 26:05
  number one, the natural man. Say after me the natural man.
• 26:10
  Don't assume you understand what I'm saying. Say after time
• 26:12
  me the natural man.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: So the Bible tells us that there is such a
• 26:18
  man as the natural man in Romance chapter eight, please
• 26:26
  give it to us.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: From there is the canal man.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: Let me just list all three, and then I begin
• 26:35
  to deal with them and get them.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: Out of the way.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: So there is the natural man and there is the
• 26:40
  canal man. Everyone say the canal man. One more time,
• 26:43
  say the canal man. And then the third kind of
• 26:47
  man is called the spiritual man. Now you give us
• 26:50
  Romance chapter eight. Please six to eight. We read verse six.
• 26:54
  Now we read down to eight. For to be cannally minded,
• 26:57
  he says, it's death. But to be spiritually minded is
• 27:00
  life and peace. Verse seven it says, because the canal
• 27:04
  mind is enmity against God. You see that now, for
• 27:08
  it is not subject. It tells you why that mind
• 27:11
  is kindel we're coming there, that it is not subject
• 27:14
  to the law of God.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: Neither indeed can it be.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: Verse eight it says, so that they that are in
• 27:21
  the flesh and not that description for being canally minded
• 27:24
  cannot not that they don't want to, that they cannot
• 27:28
  please God in that state.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Are we together?
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: First Corinthians Chapter two, verse fourteen. We read that scripture
• 27:38
  earlier on. But the natural man, everybody said the natural man.
• 27:43
  So there is such a man as the natural man,
• 27:47
  And the.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Bible says, what.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: Makes that man natural is that he's not regenerated.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: Are we together?
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: Is an unsafe person is a spiritual language to mean
• 27:57
  the man that has not encountered he has not gone
• 28:01
  through what we call the new breath experience.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: That man may be a nice man, he may.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: Be someone who is societally accepted as a good man.
• 28:11
  But the moment you have not come into Christ by
• 28:14
  receiving the life of Christ, the Bible calls you a
• 28:18
  natural man and is saying, no matter how good such
• 28:21
  a man is, there is a deficiency that he does
• 28:24
  not have the faculty of receiving the things of the
• 28:28
  Spirit of God.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: You know why, for their are foolishness to him. Neither
• 28:34
  can he know them.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: Because spiritual things must be spiritually discerned. So there are
• 28:41
  many good people, for instance, who will listen to a
• 28:44
  good sermon, perhaps such as I'm preaching now, and as
• 28:50
  much as they appreciate the teaching, it doesn't make any sense.
• 28:54
  You know why, because when it has to do with
• 28:57
  the business of spirit living, it is not just something
• 29:01
  that is hinged and stops.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: At the realm of intellect.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: There is an engineering that the Holy Spirit, the life
• 29:10
  of God does to an individual that gives you the
• 29:13
  faculty to both persive, appreciate and believe spiritual things. And
• 29:19
  if you are a natural man, you are not safe
• 29:22
  I can tell you. You can sit down and wonder
• 29:25
  why are people crying? Why are people rolling in worship?
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: For instance?
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: Why are people quoting scripture and speaking them? It does
• 29:33
  not make sense. The end point for a natural man
• 29:36
  is you become critical, You become angry, you become offended,
• 29:41
  because spiritual things don't make sense to such a man.
• 29:47
  You will find problems with almost everything in the Bible.
• 29:51
  And the reason is because you are only looking at
• 29:53
  it as a piece of literature or an archeological material
• 29:57
  like you are being taught, or a historic material. The life,
• 30:01
  the spirit component within it cannot profit you. You will
• 30:05
  read scriptures like there is here that scatteract and yet
• 30:08
  increase it. There is here that with all that, and
• 30:11
  it tends to penury. It won't make any sense to you.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: You would read.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: Scriptures like you know, anyone who calls upon the name
• 30:18
  of the Lord shall be saved. And it doesn't make sense.
• 30:20
  How do you call upon the name of it God?
• 30:22
  You do not see, and then you are saved. The
• 30:26
  natural man. Our world is full of many natural men.
• 30:30
  Some of them are good men, quite honestly, and yet
• 30:33
  they are natural men. The destiny of the natural man,
• 30:37
  the man without Christ is eternal doom. Let me press
• 30:41
  that again, the destiny of the natural man, the man
• 30:44
  without Christ, based on the authority of Scripture, is eternal damnation,
• 30:50
  in spite of the good works, in spite of the
• 30:53
  sincere heart.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: It is the reason why Jesus watch this now.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: Jesus came and made way through his death, his burial.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: His resurrection, his ascension.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: He opened up that way that everyone who is not
• 31:10
  in Christ can now find his way through what we
• 31:14
  call the.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: New Bath experience.
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: The Bible says that if you confess with your mouth
• 31:20
  the Lord Jesus, and you believe that God raised.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: Him from the dead.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: Romance, Chapter ten, from verse eight to ten, he says
• 31:28
  thou shalt be saved, for with the mouth. The Bible
• 31:31
  says that confession is made onto salvation. With the heart
• 31:36
  man believes, and with the mouth confession is made onto salvation.
• 31:40
  Let me pass here for a minute and announce again
• 31:42
  to our world. Truly a day is going to come
• 31:46
  upon the earth where those who are not in Christ
• 31:50
  will be doomed for eternal damnation.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: We can argue this. We can create a lot of philosophies.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: There many intelligent dissertations, debate that have spanned through centuries
• 32:03
  debunking this reality. But let God be true and every
• 32:07
  man a liar. It is going to happen one day
• 32:11
  upon the earth that all those who had a chance
• 32:15
  to hear the gospel. It is the reason why we
• 32:18
  continue to frontier the course of the kingdom, helping people
• 32:21
  understand that Jesus has come as savior as an expression
• 32:26
  of the love of God to them.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: The only solution to.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: Man states that he is not even aware of it, says,
• 32:34
  for all have seen, how many, all aware or otherwise,
• 32:39
  all have seen and fallen shot of the glory of God.
• 32:43
  But Jesus has come as a mediator. He didn't just
• 32:48
  come to inform us. He actually died. The Bible says,
• 32:52
  so he died. This is the gospel. I just felt
• 32:59
  burdened to just press it so that we don't just
• 33:02
  brush through the idea of a natural man. Something is
• 33:05
  wrong with such a man spiritually speaking, something may not
• 33:09
  be wrong with such a man. Financially speaking, something may
• 33:13
  not be wrong with such a man intellectually speaking.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: When you look at the natural man, just from.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: The eyes of a natural man, too, you can see
• 33:22
  an excellent man, maybe an excellent father, maybe a well
• 33:26
  intentioned mother, maybe an intellectually fast individual. But we are
• 33:31
  looking from the lens of the spirit that anyone who
• 33:34
  is not in Christ is not saved. He is not
• 33:37
  safe because there is damnation that awaits all men. The
• 33:41
  only remedy is Jesus Christ. This is not a religious idea,
• 33:46
  this is truth. One day all men will be forced
• 33:49
  to acknowledge the fact that.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: Jesus is King of kings and Lord of lords.
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: Indeed, it is the reason why we spend ourselves our lives,
• 33:59
  and we depend to help the nations who see that
• 34:02
  there is a way out. This is not a ministry assignment.
• 34:06
  This is not a religious fanatic assignment. It is a
• 34:10
  matter of urgency. I told you the greatest need of
• 34:13
  an unbeliever, it's not accommodation. The greatest need of an
• 34:18
  unbeliever is not education. The greatest need of an unbeliever
• 34:22
  it's not even solving their hunger problem. At the moment,
• 34:25
  all those are profitable. But the greatest need of an
• 34:28
  unbeliever is introducing him to Jesus and praying that he
• 34:32
  or she, out of their will, will accept this substitutionary sacrifice.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: He who is the son has eternal life. He who
• 34:47
  is the son has it turnal life. Only he who
• 34:54
  is the son has it life. I have the son,
• 35:03
  so I have it. You see that. So there is
• 35:10
  such a man called the natural man.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: He can be the natural man as a distinguished professor,
• 35:18
  the natural man as an intellectual, the natural man as
• 35:22
  a successful career person, the natural man as a mentor
• 35:26
  to heads of state and heads of government, a natural
• 35:30
  man as a millionaire and a millionaire, a natural man.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: As an inventor. That is true.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: But from a spiritual standpoint, any man that is not without,
• 35:43
  that is without the Christ or regenerate, is called the
• 35:48
  natural man.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: It is not an insult.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: Is the description of a spiritual state that is in
• 35:56
  need of urgent attention. Now, for those of you who
• 36:01
  have been involved in any kind of charity or humanitarian work,
• 36:04
  when you go to places that are really impoverished, the
• 36:08
  health standards really low, below average, did you know that
• 36:12
  sometimes you can see the little children running around, no shoes,
• 36:15
  no shirts, playing football around, and you see all kinds
• 36:19
  of sicknesses maybe source maybe you know, ezema or something
• 36:24
  on the children.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: They are not even aware they are sick. Are we together?
• 36:28
  Because that level of.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: Life does not even afford them the privilege of awareness.
• 36:33
  It is when the doctors or the medical people, the
• 36:36
  missionaries coming as soon as you look at the children
• 36:39
  some of those children have. They are sick to a
• 36:42
  point they are almost dying. They are not even aware.
• 36:45
  That is how the natural man is. The natural man
• 36:49
  is not even aware of his spiritual state.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: Are we together?
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: Yes, So when you who is in Christ and have
• 36:58
  been given this mandate of world evangelization, when you meet
• 37:02
  such a man, you look at that man from the
• 37:05
  lens of this description that I just gave you, like
• 37:08
  a compassionate humanitarian person looking at a small child malnourished.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: The child does not know what is the cause of
• 37:16
  this lack of.
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: Energy, draining even onto death. Sometimes they administer, you know,
• 37:22
  medical treatment to the child immediately because the child is
• 37:28
  not even aware that he's just hours left. Listen, if
• 37:33
  you begin to look at the world of unbelievers that way,
• 37:36
  my life changed when I found a new name for
• 37:39
  own believers. I don't call them sinners. I don't call
• 37:42
  them own believers. Something happens to you when you call
• 37:45
  sinners sinners. It puts you in a state of self righteousness,
• 37:49
  and you cannot win them. Jesus calls sinners harvest. The
• 37:55
  moment you change that name, it changes your orientation because
• 37:59
  in the mind of God, every unbelieving person is ripe
• 38:03
  for harvest, so he calls them the harvest. I did
• 38:08
  a teaching on that you can get you can go
• 38:10
  to Colonial Global was one of the teachings that we
• 38:13
  had in UK.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: The harvest is very important.
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: So when you see a smoker fro by that you
• 38:21
  are seeing a smoker, or a prostitute or some what
• 38:26
  they call it, some occultic person. What will come out
• 38:30
  from you to them is resentment, not compassion. But the
• 38:33
  moment you see them as a harvest, then you see
• 38:36
  them from the lens of Jesus like a sheep without.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: Shep Everyone said the natural man in the midst of the.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: Thousands of people gathered here in this auditorium, man all across,
• 38:51
  and the many who are following, I can tell you
• 38:54
  by the integrity of Scripture, there are natural men hearing me. Now,
• 38:58
  there are natural men listening to me.
• 39:00
  Speaker 11: Now.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: Well intentioned people they came to church, were gladly invited,
• 39:06
  knowing that there is something missing in my life.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: You are right, it's a natural man.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: But the good news is that the possibility of transition
• 39:15
  still exists, that a natural man can leave that state.
• 39:18
  And I am praying for you in the name of Jesus,
• 39:20
  that you will not return back home as a natural man.
• 39:24
  That if there is anybody here who is not saved
• 39:27
  when it is time for the altar call, don't let
• 39:30
  the devil deceive you, distract.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: You, and make you feel I think I'm ashamed. I
• 39:34
  think I'm afraid.
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: The natural man has the eternal destiny of damnation.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: It's true. I saw the great and small stand before
• 39:47
  the Lord.
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: The Bible says, books were opened, and another book was opened,
• 39:54
  and whose fast name was not found in the Book
• 39:56
  of Life, was cast into the lake of fire that
• 40:00
  burned with brimstone and sul for.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: The Bible called it the Second Death.
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: I want you to know that this whole thing about
• 40:11
  the eternal destiny of believers is not a church concept.
• 40:16
  It's not a Pentecostal concept. It's not a charismatic concept,
• 40:21
  it's not an evangelistic concept. In fact, it is not
• 40:24
  even a Christian concept. It is a matter of your
• 40:29
  destiny before now that your destiny.
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: Watched this now you came from somewhere. I hope you
• 40:36
  know you did not just appear.
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: Yes, And the one who was there before time began
• 40:46
  is the one who is making a way for you
• 40:48
  now to sort your eternal destiny. The destiny of everyone
• 40:53
  without Christ, when our time here on earth is up,
• 40:56
  is eternal damnation. When He, the Spirit of Truth comes
• 41:02
  to the natural man, he will reprove the world of sin,
• 41:06
  of righteousness, and of judgment.
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: Are we together? He will let you know that you
• 41:11
  don't need to be this way again, that.
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: Jesus Christ has come as an expression of the love
• 41:16
  of the Father. Number two, let's hurry up. The second
• 41:21
  kind of man that the Bible identifies.
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: Is one who is now saved.
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: Watch this now saved but not transformed, Saved but not
• 41:33
  under submission to the world of God. Saved but not
• 41:37
  under submission to the lordship of the Holy Spirit. A
• 41:41
  man that is driven by his senses. The Bible calls
• 41:44
  this man the canal man. So write that word down,
• 41:48
  please the canal man. This is the second kind of
• 41:51
  man that we have. The canal man is actually a believer.
• 41:56
  He is one who is saved already, but something is
• 42:00
  still wrong with that person. The administration of eternal life
• 42:04
  in the experience has not been furnished in social man.
• 42:08
  Please listen carefully. A canal man is not necessarily an unbeliever.
• 42:13
  He's one who has answered the altar call truly from
• 42:17
  a spirit standpoint, he has received the life of Jesus
• 42:20
  away together, but the outworkings of that life has not
• 42:24
  found the expression in his life. And there are few
• 42:26
  things that characterize the life of a canal man. Number
• 42:29
  one is the absence of transformation by the world. The
• 42:33
  first way you know a canal man is the absence
• 42:37
  of transformation by the world of God. Don't forget this,
• 42:41
  the absence of transformation by the word of God. He
• 42:44
  has not sustained what the Bible calls the mind of Christ.
• 42:48
  He is not spiritually minded. The canal man has a mindset.
• 42:55
  In fact, what principally defines canality is mindset Romans eight six.
• 43:02
  To be cannally minded, we read that earlier on his death.
• 43:06
  To be cannally minded, a canal person is one who
• 43:10
  has a canal mindset. But to be spiritually minded is
• 43:15
  life and peace. Such a person is still alive to
• 43:21
  self and the desires of the flesh.
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: Write that down.
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: Such a person is still alive to self. I have
• 43:28
  taught you that there are two things that you deal
• 43:31
  with as you sojourn this part of faith. Number one
• 43:34
  is a sin problem. Number two is a flesh problem.
• 43:39
  For the sin problem, you deal with it the moment
• 43:42
  you receive the life of God. You are declared righteous.
• 43:45
  You receive an imputation of the righteousness of God in Christ,
• 43:49
  and that nature of sin completely dies and is out
• 43:51
  of your life. But as a believer, there is still
• 43:54
  something else to deal with. It is called the flesh,
• 43:57
  and for that one you don't cast it out. With
• 44:00
  one salvation prayer. The sin problem is done, but the
• 44:04
  problem of the flesh can live with you all the
• 44:07
  days of your life.
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: Even as a Christian.
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: Paul says, as touching the matters of the flesh, he says,
• 44:13
  I die daily, I die daily. Two, he says, I
• 44:18
  put my flesh on that subjection. There is an active
• 44:22
  participation on my own part to keep my flesh at bay.
• 44:27
  Many believers do not understand this, and once people are
• 44:30
  born Againe, they just believe that because the sin problem
• 44:34
  is solved, it means I'm all right. No, listen to
• 44:37
  what Paul said, Paul the Apostle. When you read Romance
• 44:40
  chapter eight, verse I mean chapter seven. Paul began to
• 44:44
  vent out his own frustration. He says, listen, there are
• 44:48
  two laws that are working in my members. Are we together?
• 44:52
  One is the law of sin and death. The other
• 44:53
  is the love of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus.
• 44:56
  So that the things I do not want to do,
• 44:59
  this is Paul speaking, I find myself doing them. The
• 45:03
  things that I want to do, I do not find
• 45:05
  myself doing them. He was frustrated, and he said, all
• 45:08
  redched man that I am, who shall deliver me from
• 45:11
  this body of death? Paul was frustrated. This was not
• 45:19
  a statement of encouragement, all redched man that I am.
• 45:22
  Why is it that I find myself? Is like, I'm
• 45:25
  not that software that has possessed me, controlling me to
• 45:29
  do the things that I don't want to do, and
• 45:32
  the things that I want to do, I don't find
• 45:34
  myself doing it. And he said, who shall deliver me?
• 45:37
  Even though saved from this body of death? Said the
• 45:40
  canal man, I submit to you by the authority of
• 45:44
  Scripture that a large percentage of believers are still domiciled
• 45:49
  in this realm. Unfortunately for many, hopelessly so, because the education,
• 45:58
  the enlightenment, the mentorship, the system of transition that graduates
• 46:02
  you to become spiritual in experience, most people may never
• 46:07
  have access to it. So you can be saved for
• 46:11
  thirty years and only transit from a natural man to
• 46:15
  become a canal man, and remain there and keep questioning
• 46:21
  your spiritual life, keep questioning your salvation, because after ten
• 46:26
  fifteen years you cannot see the value of growth. Nothing
• 46:30
  in your life just defies knowing God, loving God, serving God,
• 46:35
  living for God. You look at your life and you
• 46:37
  look at unbelievers, and everything.
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: Is the same. The canal man.
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: He still speaks like he used to speak, He still
• 46:48
  acts like he used to act.
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: Are we together?
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: Your impulses are fleshly sensual that many times people have
• 46:56
  to remind you and say, are you not a man
• 46:58
  of God? Are you not a pastor? Are you not
• 47:01
  a member of so and so?
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: I don't mind me.
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: These are the kind of people that one day will say, listen,
• 47:06
  let me tell you. Don't think because I'm saved, I
• 47:08
  will remove my clothing and beats the living daylight out
• 47:11
  of you. Have you heard people speak like that and
• 47:15
  then others who say this is my church mind, this
• 47:20
  is my word. I means there is another one, and
• 47:23
  they are right, truly, there is another one.
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: What is the danger of canality? I will tell you.
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: The danger of canality is that your life becomes a
• 47:40
  consistent misrepresentation of the image of Christ.
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: Your life becomes.
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: A consistent misrepresentation of the image of Christ because you
• 47:51
  are carrying a title that cannot be defended by your life.
• 47:56
  You are carrying the title believer, the title Christian, but
• 47:59
  it can not be defended, so your life.
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: If people are going to learn God through.
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: The lens of your life, you become a consistent misrepresentation.
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: Are we learning Number two?
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: What is the consequence of being and remaining Canal? Your
• 48:23
  experience in terms of results and that of the own
• 48:26
  believer will not be different. Your experience in terms of
• 48:31
  your journey, your possibilities, and your limitations will be almost
• 48:36
  exactly the same. The profit of your being saved cannot
• 48:41
  be demonstrated in your life as a Canal believer.
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: This is a very serious thing for many people.
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: This is the explanation behind the frustration of many Christians.
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: I am saved. Now why is my life still like this?
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: I will tell you why, because you have not allowed
• 48:59
  the spirit of God to transit you. The potential of
• 49:04
  this life we have received is only seen clearest when
• 49:08
  it is viewed through the lens of spiritual people. To
• 49:13
  be canally minded, and the Bible lets us know that
• 49:20
  one who is canal is still a baby.
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: Are we together? Let me show you a scripture.
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: I hope God is speaking to someone First Corinthians, chapter
• 49:29
  three one to four. First Corinthians three one to four.
• 49:34
  And I, brethren, please write and let me have your attention.
• 49:38
  I could not speak to you as onto spiritual my God.
• 49:42
  That means police teaching us upfront that there is a
• 49:46
  way you speak to spiritual people, and there is a
• 49:49
  way you speak to canal people.
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: Are you seeing that now?
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: Yes, it's the reason why there are many believers who
• 49:55
  cannot understand many things that are taught because they are
• 49:58
  still canally minded.
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: And even though they may.
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: Laugh and carry all the gestures of knowledge and assimilation,
• 50:04
  the truth is they are not understanding what has been said.
• 50:07
  Because there are certain discussions that you really have to
• 50:10
  be spiritual to understand. But to the discussion. And I, brethren,
• 50:17
  I could not speak onto you as onto spiritual, but
• 50:21
  as onto canal now what carefully? Even as up to babes?
• 50:25
  Help me the last two words in Christ one more
• 50:28
  time there is such description of a believer as a
• 50:32
  babe in Christ. You are a child even though you
• 50:36
  are in Christ. He's not speaking to people who are
• 50:38
  outside Christ. They are in Christ, but he's saying you
• 50:42
  are still children.
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: Verse two. I have fed you with milk like a
• 50:49
  mother feeds a baby milk.
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: Here is talking about elementary levels of spiritual knowledge, and
• 50:55
  not with meat.
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: For hither or you were not able to bear them,
• 51:02
  neither ye now are able.
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: Paulice expression is frustration. He said, I've come here many
• 51:08
  times and there are waitier things to teach you in
• 51:11
  the spirit. But every time I meet you and I
• 51:13
  examine you. That means there is a system for examining
• 51:17
  the state of a believer. You can know that this
• 51:20
  believer is seen a child. Paulie is saying, this is
• 51:23
  a lesson for men of God. When you go to
• 51:25
  minister to people, gauge trying to gauge the spiritual state
• 51:30
  of the people so you don't waste your time discussing
• 51:33
  things that will fall on death. Ears give us that scripture.
• 51:39
  I was not able to teach you. I just had
• 51:42
  to feed you with milk and not meet. For hitherto
• 51:46
  you were not able to git neither can you path?
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: Now? What is the proof of canality? Verse four? Now, okay, well,
• 51:55
  let's go to verse three.
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: Verse three, it says, for ye, I yet canal, for
• 52:02
  whereas there is among you, now see all the elements
• 52:05
  of the flesh. He's talking to Christians. Envyings and strife
• 52:11
  and divisions. Are you not canal and work as men?
• 52:16
  He's dealing with the issue of canal Christians. Now, if
• 52:18
  you look at verse four to end this scripture, it says,
• 52:22
  for a while one said I am for Paul, another
• 52:24
  I am for Apollos. It means that you are still
• 52:27
  at the realm of men your mindset.
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: You are not yet.
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: Kingdom minded, You are not heavenly minded. You are still
• 52:33
  men pleasers. These are still elements of the flesh finding
• 52:37
  expression in you.
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: Are you seeing that now?
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: There are things I want to teach you, He's saying,
• 52:42
  but I cannot because I found out that in teaching
• 52:45
  you I will waste my time even Jesus himself wanted
• 52:49
  to teach the disciples certain weightier matters of the kingdom,
• 52:52
  but he said, unto them, I hope you know none
• 52:55
  of the disciples were saved. No, they were not saved.
• 52:59
  There were only being prepared. How could they be saved
• 53:03
  without the Holy Spirit?
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: Are we together?
• 53:08
  Speaker 6: Now?
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: Just because they were around Jesus did not make them saved. No,
• 53:12
  if they were saved by what means? If that means
• 53:15
  we have to cancel salvation. There is no other name
• 53:18
  under Heaven given on to men by which we must
• 53:20
  be saved.
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: And salvation is only by the blood, the substitutionary sacrifice.
• 53:26
  So how could they have been saved?
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: No, everybody Jesus healed was still unsaved, including the religious people.
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: Are we together?
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: He had to die and become the first bond of
• 53:41
  we the begotten. So he told them, he said, I
• 53:50
  have many things to tell you, but ye cannot bear them.
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: Now. Ye cannot bear them, need you cannot hear them.
• 53:58
  You cannot bear them.
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: And I've taught you here that some of those things
• 54:02
  he wanted to say was what the Spirit inspired Paul
• 54:05
  to write. You know how hard some of posts writings
• 54:08
  are that even the disciples a kite, this one, ah,
• 54:12
  this man, this thing is hard smaller. So imagine if
• 54:14
  Jesus were talking to them, they would be saying, preach, preacher,
• 54:17
  and at the end of it said, let's go, effiicient.
• 54:19
  This guy is talking nonsense and wasting our time here.
• 54:24
  One of the ways you know you are still canal
• 54:26
  is that you don't have the endurance for sound doctrine.
• 54:31
  The moment sound doctrine is a burden something and you says, what.
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: Is all this one? Now? Can't you just go straightforward receive.
• 54:40
  I'm not being sarcastic, but it's true. If I shout
• 54:44
  and said, what am I saying?
• 54:45
  Speaker 5: B m w.
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: Coin Onia, b m w hi.
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: Someone already lived this and carry the hand of somebody
• 54:56
  and said that, I'm not saying that you receive, You
• 54:59
  receive your b You.
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: Are way together.
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: But the same if the entire journey of the believer
• 55:08
  is only centered around these kinds of things, there will
• 55:10
  be a lot of problems. And I tell you the truth,
• 55:14
  respectfully speaking, that wemen of God have been given the
• 55:17
  mandates by God to transition people from being natural canal
• 55:23
  to being spiritual. For as long as we keep maintaining
• 55:28
  canal membership, the pastor will never rest. One of the
• 55:32
  proof of canality is putting your attention on a man
• 55:35
  and not God. It's the reason why people keep going
• 55:38
  to all kinds of problems, even in ministry, because if
• 55:42
  I tie all your attention to me, I will be
• 55:45
  in trouble.
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: It means I will never sleep for the rest of
• 55:47
  my life. Are we together? So my job is to
• 55:51
  help you, And the.
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: Greatest way to help you is not just to prophesy
• 55:55
  to you. The greatest way to help you is not
• 55:57
  just to pray for you when you are sick or
• 55:59
  be therefore you when you have problems. That is very important,
• 56:03
  it's a very important pastoral duty. But let me tell you,
• 56:06
  the greatest way to really help believe us is to
• 56:09
  teach them. Bring light, bring understanding, bring illumination, grant them
• 56:14
  access to wisdom. The moment believers start growing and maturing,
• 56:18
  you start resting.
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: As a man of God.
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: The same way when a parent invest in a child,
• 56:23
  are we together? As the child starts growing and it's
• 56:26
  becoming a responsible child, the parent who start resting. There
• 56:29
  are parents who have children taller than them, and yet
• 56:33
  they will not rest. You know why, because the child,
• 56:36
  with all your respect, is ill trained and still a
• 56:40
  burden to the parent. At forty still a body, at fifty,
• 56:44
  still a bodying. So where the parents would rest, they
• 56:47
  are not resting because they move from one policeation after
• 56:50
  the other, going to build a child out.
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: This is how it can be.
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: It is not a person's conference, but I'm just digressing
• 56:58
  to help you. If you're a man of God, let
• 57:00
  me tell you the truth. Don't feel so insecure that
• 57:04
  you have to turn the attention of everybody on you.
• 57:06
  It is a risk you will never be able to
• 57:09
  find sleep. Help them and guide them and lead them
• 57:13
  to Jesus. Teach them truth.
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: You are there to supervise, to guide, to coordinate. Are
• 57:19
  we together? Yeah?
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: Many believers are still canal can now because of our
• 57:30
  thinking can now because we are still alive to self
• 57:34
  the fleshly desires were cannot because we are largely unyielded
• 57:40
  to God, unyielded to the Holy Spirit. I'm pressing on
• 57:46
  this canality so that we'll be able to understand true spirituality.
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: So the natural man is the only generated man.
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: He's not even met Christ at all, even if he's
• 57:57
  been around the things of God. He does not to
• 58:00
  be a bad man by our definition of being bad
• 58:03
  doing anything wrong, society wrong, societally wrong. But the fact
• 58:07
  that that man is not saved something is wrong. Eternal
• 58:11
  damnation is the destiny of that man without Christ. For
• 58:15
  the canal man, he is saved, but that the reality
• 58:19
  his cannot be a true reflection of Christ. Are we together?
• 58:23
  The Bible says, to be cannally minded is death. So
• 58:27
  you watch a canal man dying as if he is
• 58:31
  not spirit, as if he's not saved, and you are
• 58:33
  wondering where you really saved. Everything you used to do
• 58:39
  before you were saved, you are still doing now. No difference,
• 58:43
  no difference whatsoever. Same talk, same behavior, same places, same relationships,
• 58:50
  same things. That is a canally minded man, same philosophies,
• 58:55
  same insult, same anger, same manifestations of the flesh.
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: There is nothing around your life.
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: If someone did not see you making an altar call,
• 59:05
  and someone comes to meet you one year, even after
• 59:08
  you are saved, they would know the difference. You have
• 59:11
  to tell them, well, just to let you know, I'm
• 59:13
  saved now, and they say you are saved.
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: It is a joke, but it's supposed to be clear.
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: The reality of salvation is supposed to have a growing
• 59:24
  influence within you.
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: It's God speaking to someone tonight.
• 59:29
  Speaker 2: Efficients Chapter two, from verse one to three, efficients two
• 59:35
  one to three, it says, and you have he quickened
• 59:40
  who were dead in trespasses and in sins uh huh.
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: Verse two it says, wear in. He's describing something.
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: Now wearing in time past you walked according to the
• 59:54
  cause of this world.
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: Watch this according to the Prince of the power of
• 59:59
  the air.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: The spirits that now work get in the children of disobedience.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: Are you saying that there are there are people in
• 1:00:09
  this life you see the things that they do. Is
• 1:00:12
  not counselling that will change it. They need an alther call.
• 1:00:16
  Are we together?
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: It doesn't matter what kind of counseling, with all due
• 1:00:20
  respect you can administer, superior therapist, it will not change
• 1:00:25
  because there is a spirit that works in the sums
• 1:00:29
  of disobedience. I've seen people who you counsel and at
• 1:00:37
  the point of counseling they're even crying, And you say,
• 1:00:40
  will you do this again? Say me, no, not at all.
• 1:00:42
  In fact, I can't tell you today's the last day
• 1:00:46
  that person will get up right where you are and
• 1:00:49
  work right. Have you seen that kind of thing right there?
• 1:00:53
  You can build a person out of a policeation and
• 1:00:56
  they'll say if you return here again, you will not
• 1:00:58
  go back. Yes, sir, by next week the person is
• 1:01:01
  back there. There is a spirit please hear me. This
• 1:01:05
  is spiritual intelligence. Once you see people doing certain things
• 1:01:09
  that they cannot stop, stop wasting your time with counseling.
• 1:01:12
  You need to administer and not that kind of therapy.
• 1:01:15
  It's called the power of God. Are we together?
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 2: The person stole ten nairah. You caught the person red
• 1:01:22
  handed with ten naira there and the person this is
• 1:01:26
  the last time. If I do another, still, make God
• 1:01:29
  kill me. God doesn't keep. God knows the man is
• 1:01:31
  just talking nonsense by evening, not the next day evening.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: He just says. And you know, these spirits work. The
• 1:01:41
  spirits actually creates a.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 2: Prophetic expression in their victims because you can hide something
• 1:01:46
  and the person just stands in.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: The room and just goes to lift the match. The
• 1:01:51
  same way you profess high.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: You hide the money, hide it anywhere that will find it,
• 1:01:57
  the same way somebody, for instance, not to condemn all
• 1:02:01
  these guys are smoke all kinds of things. As soon
• 1:02:03
  as the entire city, a city they have never gone to,
• 1:02:07
  in two hours, they know where their company is.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: It's a spirit.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: I know you are laughing, but listen carefully to what
• 1:02:15
  I'm telling you. There is a spirit that works in
• 1:02:18
  people the same way there is a spirit that brings trouble, negative.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: Things to people.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: Now, but that is supposed to be the experience of
• 1:02:29
  the own believer. But you can be a believer. Listen
• 1:02:36
  to believe that just because you are saved, dremone spirits
• 1:02:40
  cannot have access to your mind and.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: Your destiny is a joke. Did you hear what I said?
• 1:02:45
  Let me repeat it for your learning. It is a joke.
• 1:02:49
  They should not. But since you are canal, there is
• 1:02:53
  no difference.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: So you find out that when you are ministering deliverance,
• 1:02:58
  you will see both believers and nonbelievers under.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: The influence of these spirits.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: The explanation is, provided you still have a canal software,
• 1:03:07
  there is still a gait for Satan to access your life.
• 1:03:10
  He may not possess you because the life of God
• 1:03:13
  is in your spirit, but he can still find room
• 1:03:16
  to manipulate your life, even as though you were possessed.
• 1:03:21
  So there are many believers moving around and saying it
• 1:03:24
  doesn't matter. Now that I'm safe, I don't need It's
• 1:03:26
  not true.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: It's not true.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 2: Listen to my message complete deliverance. I teach there that
• 1:03:31
  there are three levels of deliverance. There is the deliverance
• 1:03:35
  where by the power of God you can'st out the
• 1:03:38
  spirit influence. Ideally that should be to an unbeliever. But
• 1:03:44
  number two, there is deliverance through transformation.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: This is what makes.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: Deliverance not needed in your life. Again, that when you
• 1:03:52
  sit down and you are transformed, what part of you
• 1:03:55
  is being transformed?
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: Your mind?
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: There is a switch from being ternally minded to being
• 1:04:00
  spiritually minded. And now you can partner as an act
• 1:04:04
  of your will with the world of God and with
• 1:04:06
  the Holy Spirit. And when Satan comes to you, because
• 1:04:09
  he will come, there is nothing in you that can
• 1:04:12
  connect him to you again. But until then he would
• 1:04:17
  deceive you into believing that you cannot be manipulated by spirits.
• 1:04:22
  And yet you will find your life, even though you
• 1:04:24
  are saved, you will still find your life helplessly under
• 1:04:28
  the influence of spirits, helplessly, helplessly under the influence of spirits,
• 1:04:36
  and it does not matter whether you're a preacher. It
• 1:04:39
  does not matter whether you're a businessman. It does not
• 1:04:42
  matter whether you are an elder in church. Spirits don't
• 1:04:45
  have respect for those things. Once you are canally minded,
• 1:04:49
  you are in the realm of Satan. There is a
• 1:04:53
  way that can now people walk. It says, who work
• 1:04:55
  according to the cause of this world. There is a
• 1:05:01
  way cannally minded people speak. There is a way cannarly
• 1:05:05
  minded people Behave Ladies.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: And gentlemen listen. Just because you have obtained grace from
• 1:05:10
  God does not.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: Mean you will utilize it. You can waste the grace,
• 1:05:14
  the enabling grace that was given.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: It is why every time Jesus.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: Saw people and he had compassion towards them, the first
• 1:05:26
  thing he did was to teach them. That means the
• 1:05:29
  real way to show people compassion, the real way to
• 1:05:33
  show people to If you desire to take people out
• 1:05:36
  of their state, your response is not just a prophetic word.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: Your response is not just healing.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: Your real response to dealing with people's states is to
• 1:05:48
  teach them. The teaching ministry is the permanent cure for
• 1:05:54
  people's state. But then related to the teaching ministry, the content,
• 1:06:00
  the spiritual information that you are communicating, must be wholesome, doctrinal, balanced,
• 1:06:06
  seasoned with power.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: To produce the effect.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 2: Otherwise you will be creating another kind of error again,
• 1:06:12
  which is what is happening sadly across the body of Christ.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: So we have many teachers, but the content is where
• 1:06:19
  the problem is.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 2: So there are believers who are learning and receiving, but
• 1:06:24
  the problem is not their refusal to receive, is that
• 1:06:27
  there is something wrong with the kind of information, either
• 1:06:30
  it is imbalanced or completely wrong.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: Are we together?
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 2: What do you do with a canal mind? What do
• 1:06:43
  you do with a canal person? A canal person needs
• 1:06:47
  beyond counseling.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: Please let me have your attention.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 2: A cannal man needs beyond advice. A canal man needs
• 1:06:55
  beyond just.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: Reading a book. What a canal man.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 2: Needs is to sob me himself, watch this now, to
• 1:07:02
  submit himself to the ministry of the world.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: Through a teaching.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: Priest, and then that process of transition begins until he
• 1:07:13
  becomes a spiritual man.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: Is someone learning now?
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 2: So you find yourself and you know as I'm speaking
• 1:07:20
  that truly I'm seeling this realm of canality my mind
• 1:07:24
  is not purified. My thoughts are not purified. So says
• 1:07:28
  my speaking, so says my behavior. Because your mindset is
• 1:07:33
  what controls your behavior. Your mindset is what controls your speaking.
• 1:07:37
  Your mindset is what controls your appetites. And the moment
• 1:07:40
  you find out that you are not manifesting god like characteristics,
• 1:07:44
  I am telling you the diagnosis is that you are
• 1:07:47
  canal even though you are saved. But there is a
• 1:07:50
  way out. In the name of Jesus, there is a
• 1:07:53
  way out. Let's talk about the spiritual man. Praying the
• 1:07:55
  spirit in one minute, pray in the spirit in one minute.
• 1:08:19
  Your spe read open to me the treasures of your word,
• 1:08:26
  and I will forever.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: Sing your brain. Your sp read opens to me the treasures.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 12: Of your word, and I will forever see your brains.
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: Pray and I will see after wonders of your work.
• 1:08:55
  I will see.
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 6: Out for you.
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: I will see.
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 12: After gondless of your word, and I will forever seeing
• 1:09:13
  your friend.
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: Allelujah. Now look or please.
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: A spiritual man is not a man open to the
• 1:09:24
  realm of the spirit.
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: Listen carefully. When we talk about a spiritual man, we
• 1:09:31
  don't mean a man who is open to.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 2: Visionary encounters or out of body experiences, because an occultic
• 1:09:40
  man is not a spiritual man, even though he's open
• 1:09:43
  to the realm of the spirit. So when we are
• 1:09:46
  talking about spirituality, we're not talking about the ease with
• 1:09:50
  which you can separate your body from your spirit and
• 1:09:53
  interact with the realm of the spirit.
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: No, if that is your concept, you will easily be
• 1:09:58
  misled to error.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: I want to define for you the spiritual man from
• 1:10:02
  the lens of scripture because for the average believer, after
• 1:10:07
  dealing with the matters of the natural man and dealing
• 1:10:09
  with the canal man, the moment we talk about the
• 1:10:12
  spiritual man, the first place your mind goes to is
• 1:10:16
  the person who leaves his body at will. If you
• 1:10:20
  can leave your body at will, something is wrong with you.
• 1:10:23
  Did you know what I said? If you can leave
• 1:10:27
  your body, levitate and leave your body at will and
• 1:10:31
  come back, go for.
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: And see a powerful man of God to help you.
• 1:10:36
  I'm telling you this.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 2: It's an occultic practice. It's not spirituality. You should have
• 1:10:46
  the advantage of the duality of realms of interacting with
• 1:10:50
  the realm of the spirit.
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: But let me tell you something.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 2: Something always happens to you when you are exposed to
• 1:10:57
  the atmosphere of the realm of the Spirit. The Spirit
• 1:11:00
  is not Heaven. I hope you know that the realm
• 1:11:03
  of the Spirit is and not that face and not
• 1:11:05
  that plane of reality that has rules of engagement accessible
• 1:11:12
  to all men with or without Christ. The condition to
• 1:11:18
  be out and interacting with the realm of the Spirit.
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: Is that you must be assisted by another spirit, and
• 1:11:25
  it does not have to be the spirit of God.
• 1:11:31
  I will see after wonders of your work. I will
• 1:11:38
  see out for you. I will see.
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 12: After wonders of your work, and I will forever seeing
• 1:11:55
  your prayer.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: What kind of man does the Bible define as a
• 1:12:04
  spiritual man?
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: Please write? What kind of a man?
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 2: If we know that there is the natural man, If
• 1:12:13
  we know that there is the canal man, a believer,
• 1:12:19
  and yet a canal man. And we say that to
• 1:12:23
  be able to reflect Christ in his fullness, the condition
• 1:12:27
  is that beyond salvation, that transition has to happen in
• 1:12:31
  your life until you attain a state a kind of
• 1:12:35
  man that the Bible calls spiritual. Now we're examining such
• 1:12:39
  a man. What does it take?
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: How do I know that I am becoming or I
• 1:12:43
  have become a spiritual man. Are you ready?
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 2: There are a few things features that must be captured
• 1:12:51
  within the life of a believer as proof that that
• 1:12:57
  person is a spiritual man. Let me run through the
• 1:13:00
  least for you.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: Number one.
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 2: Any spiritual man you know must have encountered Christ through
• 1:13:07
  the new birth experience.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: Any man.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 2: This is why I said a spiritual man is not
• 1:13:13
  just one who is open to the realm of the spirit.
• 1:13:16
  There are many people who are not saved, and they
• 1:13:18
  can see visions. There are many people who are trained
• 1:13:22
  traditionally in the village, and their organs of interaction with
• 1:13:26
  the realm of the spirit by fraternity with demon Spirit
• 1:13:29
  are opened in a heightened way. They can see you
• 1:13:32
  coming from a distance and call your name. The lady,
• 1:13:36
  the damnsel who had the spirit of divination, her prophecy
• 1:13:40
  was accurate, and yet she was not saved.
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: Are we learning? So for you to be a spiritual man?
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 2: Number one, you must have encountered Jesus Christ through the
• 1:13:52
  new birth experience.
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: Please write that down.
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 2: You must have encountered Christ, Jesus Christ through the new
• 1:14:00
  birth experience.
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: Number two.
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 2: A spiritual man is one who has had an experience
• 1:14:09
  with the Person and the ministry of.
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: The Holy Spirit.
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 2: You cannot be a spiritual man if you have not
• 1:14:18
  encountered the Person and the ministry of the Holy Spirit.
• 1:14:23
  The Person and the Ministry of the Holy Spirit. These
• 1:14:30
  are the factors that produce through spirituality and believers.
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: Number one, an experience.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 2: With Jesus, the Son of the Living God, the new
• 1:14:38
  Birth experience. Number two and encounter with the Person and
• 1:14:43
  the ministry of the Holy Spirit. Can I give you
• 1:14:46
  number three the factors that define a spiritual man. A
• 1:14:51
  spiritual man is one who has a thorough comprehension of
• 1:14:58
  the principles of the Kingdom as revealed in Scripture. A
• 1:15:04
  thorough comprehension of the principles of the Kingdom, the ways
• 1:15:10
  of God as revealed in Scripture.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: Don't forget this third point.
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 2: A spiritual man is not just a Bible study giant.
• 1:15:20
  Is one who, through the lens of Scripture primarily has
• 1:15:23
  come into a thorough comprehension of the ways of God,
• 1:15:29
  the principles of the Kingdom as revealed in Scripture.
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: You have that down, So.
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 2: Number one and encounter with Jesus Christ through the new
• 1:15:41
  Birth experience. Number two and encounter with the person and
• 1:15:47
  the ministry of the Holy Spirit. Number three a thorough
• 1:15:50
  comprehension of the principles of the Kingdom the ways of God,
• 1:15:55
  as revealed in Scripture number four. Who is a spiritual man?
• 1:16:03
  According to Scripture number four, the man who has willingly
• 1:16:10
  chosen to submit to.
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: The leadership of the Holy Spirit. Ah. This is an
• 1:16:17
  important one. The man who has willingly chosen to submit
• 1:16:22
  to the leadership of the Holy Spirit.
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 2: Chose because you have an encounter with God by his spirit,
• 1:16:29
  does not mean you have chosen to submit. A spiritual
• 1:16:33
  man is one who has willingly under line that word will.
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: Your will has.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: An active role to play in your becoming spiritual willingly
• 1:16:43
  submitted to the lordship, the leadership of.
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: The Spirit of God. Let me tell you the truth.
• 1:17:02
  Do you know how difficult it is to truly submit
• 1:17:04
  to the leadership of the Holy Spirit. When you submit
• 1:17:08
  to the leadership of.
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 2: The Holy Spirit, the first thing that happens is a
• 1:17:13
  thorough disruption of life as you have defined it your way.
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: Did you hear what I said?
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 2: A thorough disruption of life as you have defined or
• 1:17:25
  arranged it your way. When God comes into your life,
• 1:17:28
  he does not continue with your life the way you
• 1:17:30
  designed it. There is a disruption of that plan. Is
• 1:17:33
  the reason why many people cannot submit to the spirit
• 1:17:36
  of God. Because you have pledged loyalty to God by
• 1:17:40
  his spirit.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: I will go, I will go wherever you lead me.
• 1:17:52
  I will go, I will go, I will will go
• 1:18:02
  wherever you lead.
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 2: This is the reason why God likes songs of surrender,
• 1:18:17
  because you will answer them quickly. You know all these
• 1:18:20
  songs we sing, God take everything. Aha, this is what
• 1:18:24
  I've been waiting for. But you see, because the Spirit
• 1:18:27
  of God is not a demon spirit, at every point
• 1:18:31
  in his leadership journey with you, he will have to
• 1:18:34
  verify that you are still willing to trust him.
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: Did you what I said? He will not you sop
• 1:18:40
  it over. You know.
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 2: I'm willing to guide you Jeremiah twenty ninety eleven. I
• 1:18:47
  know the thoughts that I think towards you, say the Lord,
• 1:18:50
  they are thoughts of kings, are not of evil. To
• 1:18:53
  give you an expected end. Submitting to the leadership of
• 1:18:58
  the Holy Spirit is based on you understand that God's
• 1:19:01
  ways are not your ways. Neither his thoughts your thoughts
• 1:19:04
  are we together that you can want life your way ah.
• 1:19:07
  But if you can trust God, let me tell you
• 1:19:12
  the truth. The initial point of your journey with the
• 1:19:15
  Holy Spirit to be rough. And it is not rough
• 1:19:18
  because that's how he leads. It is rough because of
• 1:19:21
  the bad plans you have made for yourself. That in
• 1:19:24
  your own wisdom you'll believe you have designed an excellent life.
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: Here he comes, Spirit of the Living God.
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 2: Ah.
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 1: I love the Holy SPIRITO.
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 2: When he steps into your life, you is thinking politics, politics, me,
• 1:19:38
  I know I will win the election. He just comes
• 1:19:41
  upon you and gently he starts doing a U turn.
• 1:19:44
  And for some people with one hundred and.
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: Eighty degrees are we together?
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you what it means to submit to
• 1:19:53
  the Holy Spirit, to submit your will, to submit your plans,
• 1:19:58
  to submit your ways, and to be willing to receive
• 1:20:01
  from him, even if it is inconveniencing you. You trust
• 1:20:06
  the fact that he represents he is the Spirit of
• 1:20:10
  the Father, and that he has your best interest.
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: It may not make sense, but.
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 2: Somewhere along the journey, after ten years, you will see
• 1:20:19
  the wisdom of his leadership. Someone please listen to me,
• 1:20:24
  because one of the ways cannot people get into trouble
• 1:20:27
  is judging ten years using the maopic.
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: Lens of today, God can look at you and tell
• 1:20:35
  you join this chariot.
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 2: It may not make sense till after eleven years you
• 1:20:39
  will see why he brought you to that relationship. You
• 1:20:42
  will see why he brought you to Collinonia. The version
• 1:20:45
  of you that kim may not make sense. God, what
• 1:20:47
  are you doing with me? And he says you just
• 1:20:49
  be consistent When he calls you to enter the act
• 1:20:53
  is because the rain is coming. And just because the
• 1:20:56
  rain did not come for one hundred and twenty years
• 1:20:59
  the page and when the rain comes, you will see
• 1:21:02
  the value of that wisdom.
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: Are we together?
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 2: Is the reason why the greatest way Satan deceives believers
• 1:21:16
  is to act as the Holy Spirit, because he knows
• 1:21:19
  that believers have opened up themselves to be yielded.
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 1: That is another discussion.
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 2: Satan hardly, I can't believers as Satan.
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: He comes with the disguise of.
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 2: The Holy Spirit because he knows if he comes as Satan,
• 1:21:34
  you will cast him. So he will come as an
• 1:21:37
  angel of light and suggest things using scripture. But you
• 1:21:42
  need a level of maturity to say no. Even though
• 1:21:45
  this sounds good, this is not the Holy Spirit. God
• 1:21:47
  does not lead this way. This is why you have
• 1:21:50
  to know the Holy Spirit before you submit to him.
• 1:21:53
  If you submit to any voice and any entity that
• 1:21:56
  is not just human, you will find out you are
• 1:21:58
  being submitted to many and it is and many believers
• 1:22:02
  they think it's the Holy Spirit leading them. They would
• 1:22:06
  die believing is the Holy Spirit leading them. But upon
• 1:22:09
  the lens of a spiritually matured person you will see
• 1:22:12
  the gaps that this level of submission is to a
• 1:22:15
  demoned spirit, not the Holy Spirit. Listen carefully, they said
• 1:22:20
  deliverance service for someone. Now there are people who are
• 1:22:23
  done stupid things in the name of being led by
• 1:22:26
  the spirit, and will be showing you and not the
• 1:22:29
  element of being spiritual.
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 1: Because if the only thing.
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 2: You do to be spiritual is submission to.
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 1: Spirits, you are in trouble. I told you.
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 2: If Satan uses evil to destroy you and you resist it,
• 1:22:44
  you will use good.
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 1: The most important thing is he wants you to be destroyed.
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 2: So we have, respectfully speaking, we have an army of
• 1:22:53
  sincere people in the body of Christ doing all kinds
• 1:22:57
  of things, and the basis of their comfort, they will
• 1:23:00
  tell you see my notebook, see it. God told me
• 1:23:04
  I know what I saw. You are right, but we
• 1:23:07
  need to george the kind of influence. And there is
• 1:23:09
  a way to george spirits. This is why the Bible says,
• 1:23:12
  strong meat, let me leave that one.
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 1: We're coming there. You see that you can george spirits.
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 2: If you are open hearted tonight for someone.
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 1: It can be a delivery service.
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 2: Now to ask yourself this, Johnny, I'm taking I don't
• 1:23:27
  see the lights and I'm not I'm seeing everything around
• 1:23:31
  it is taking me backward. I'm going into a pit.
• 1:23:34
  Is this really the voice of God? And when you check,
• 1:23:37
  you will find out that you are being led by
• 1:23:39
  a demon spirit.
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 1: And you do not know.
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 2: If Jesus had to pray for Peter and say certain
• 1:23:47
  desired they did come like a beast with horns. You
• 1:23:51
  think Peter would not have resisted him. He slipped into
• 1:23:54
  Peter and use Peter's compassion. There are people who have
• 1:24:00
  their place of glory and their place of assignment because
• 1:24:03
  they had a voice, and the voice spoke beautifully.
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 1: The voice came through a dream and said, go to
• 1:24:09
  this place. The voice came and turned their destiny, help
• 1:24:13
  us to look like demons. And they got off from
• 1:24:15
  that dream hating the people.
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 2: Who will bless them. Listen carefullio, this message is to
• 1:24:21
  bless you. We're talking about the spiritual man. That a
• 1:24:24
  spiritual man, in addition to an encounter with the person
• 1:24:28
  and the ministry of the Holy Spirit, must submit to
• 1:24:32
  the lordship of the Spirit. Let me tell you one
• 1:24:35
  classic sign to know that is the Holy Spirit leading you.
• 1:24:39
  There is nothing he will ever tell you that will
• 1:24:42
  be by force. Now you will be constrained, but the
• 1:24:48
  Holy Spirit, as the Spirit of God, will always respect
• 1:24:53
  the will factor the greatest gift God gave man his salvation,
• 1:24:57
  true Christ, and even that he never forced it on
• 1:25:01
  any man. Anything that demands that you do it by force,
• 1:25:05
  it is not.
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 1: The spirit of God. It is inconsistent with the nature
• 1:25:09
  of love.
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 2: I said before your life and death, I said before
• 1:25:14
  your blessing and cursing. I can only advise you choose life.
• 1:25:18
  That's why the Holy Spirit is called a counselor are
• 1:25:25
  we listening now?
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 1: Now?
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 2: With all due respect, I know that I've read many
• 1:25:30
  books books. I'm one person who has had a rich
• 1:25:35
  heritage of a journey with the Holy Spirit by the
• 1:25:37
  grace of God. And I've read books on revivals, and
• 1:25:40
  I've seen in many writings where people say things like
• 1:25:43
  the Holy Spirit told them if you don't do this,
• 1:25:45
  you would die. And I respect their level of revelation,
• 1:25:48
  but I can tell you by the authority of scripture
• 1:25:50
  it's not accurate. God does not work like that. If
• 1:25:53
  God did not force you to receive him, the moment
• 1:25:57
  God puts pressure on you and takes away the will,
• 1:26:00
  it's no longer called obedience. It's called oppression. The basis
• 1:26:04
  of obedience is that your power to choose must remain.
• 1:26:09
  You cannot tell me to obey until you give me
• 1:26:12
  an option to disobey. That's why there were two trees
• 1:26:16
  in the Garden of Eden, not one tree.
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 1: Is someone learning?
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 2: Now, this is one of the ways you judge spirits,
• 1:26:24
  and also this is also one of the ways you
• 1:26:27
  judge prophecies. Anything that has to constrain you by force
• 1:26:33
  something is wrong. No, no, no, give by force God
• 1:26:40
  there by force ah ah. That language of false is
• 1:26:44
  not a kingdom language, not towards the saints, towards demon's spirits, yes, sir,
• 1:26:48
  but not the saints. Is someone learning already, not by force.
• 1:26:54
  So by the time someone say it's not that me too,
• 1:26:57
  it's not like God. Just force me be careful. You
• 1:27:00
  are not bad, but just accept that you're still growing.
• 1:27:03
  When you grow, you will find out you have been
• 1:27:05
  blaming God is a lie.
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 1: It's not God. God constrains.
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 2: He puts pressure within your heart either to go or
• 1:27:18
  to stay, but he will always leave the will factor.
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 1: You can choose.
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 2: I can choose as an act of my will today,
• 1:27:27
  as a man of God, and stand before you, and
• 1:27:30
  stand before the whole world and say, you know what,
• 1:27:32
  I'm not interested in God again. It's an act of
• 1:27:35
  my will. You intercede for me. But at the end
• 1:27:38
  of it, when you intercede for me, let me tell
• 1:27:41
  you what happens. The Spirit of God will keep revealing
• 1:27:44
  to me the excellency of staying with Him and the
• 1:27:48
  disaster that may happen to those he has connected to
• 1:27:50
  my grace. But at the end of it, when he
• 1:27:53
  finds out I have made up my mind, he will
• 1:27:55
  honor my decision and raise another person. That's how God works.
• 1:28:02
  Are you learning the ways of God? Because there are
• 1:28:11
  many believers who do not soub.
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 1: Me to the spirit of God.
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 2: And the reason why they do not sub me to
• 1:28:17
  the spirit of God is that they are afraid.
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 1: Here's what they're afraid of. I have arranged my life
• 1:28:24
  my own way.
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 2: I have planned everything from graduation is America. And where
• 1:28:31
  you are praying, what you are saying is God, you
• 1:28:33
  better make America work.
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 1: Every time you pray, that prayer something.
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 2: In you and you say, I won't pray again because
• 1:28:39
  you are suspecting that if you actually sub me to.
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 1: The spirit of God. Let me teach you something.
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 2: If you run life by your understanding, you will make
• 1:28:50
  many mistakes. If you run life, the Bible says in
• 1:28:55
  Probabs chapter three, from verse five to seven, trusting the
• 1:28:59
  Lord with all your heart, and he says to lean
• 1:29:02
  not onto your own understanding in all your ways verse six.
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 1: Acknowledge him and he shall direct your path.
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 2: Someone says, direct me, shout and say guide me, Oh God,
• 1:29:17
  ladies and gentlemen.
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: The bit that God has done in.
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 2: This ministry today is from the foolishness of the guidance
• 1:29:25
  of the spirit. There is nowhere written in the Bible
• 1:29:29
  that Coinonia will move from Zaria to Abuja. There is
• 1:29:32
  nowhere written in the Bible that Coinonia will be all
• 1:29:35
  over the globe. It's not written directly there there is
• 1:29:38
  a manday to reach the ends of the earth, but
• 1:29:41
  that bespoke direction plus the season, that's the Holy Spirit
• 1:29:47
  for you. If you do not sob me to the
• 1:29:49
  Holy Spirit, you will be like a man driving a
• 1:29:52
  beautiful car but not holding the steering. And this steering
• 1:29:56
  of destiny is too complicated for you to hold the
• 1:30:00
  You are too small.
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 1: Your hand is too small. You will not even be
• 1:30:03
  able to turn it.
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 2: And when you insist that I will hold it and
• 1:30:08
  run my life my own way, very soon you see
• 1:30:10
  another hand bigger than your.
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 1: Own, running you to ditch that certain for you.
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 2: Are we together. Let me tell you the truth. Allow
• 1:30:22
  God lead you by his spirit. Trust his leadership. You
• 1:30:27
  submit to the Holy Spirit the same way you gave
• 1:30:30
  your life to Christ.
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 1: That from this day's spirit of the Living God.
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 2: I trust you as the spirit of the Father, and
• 1:30:37
  I submit to your leadership. I submit to your leadership
• 1:30:41
  to guide me, to speak to.
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 1: Me, to help me.
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 2: I am unable to make destiny walk my own way.
• 1:30:48
  I've tried and tried that it does not work.
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 1: You are the.
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 2: Spirit that guided Jesus to completion of his assignment. Even
• 1:30:56
  Jesus himself needed to be guided by that same spirit.
• 1:31:00
  The spirit of God is an ancient spirit. He has
• 1:31:04
  worked with many men. You are not the first when
• 1:31:08
  you invite him into your life.
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 1: Don't you think the.
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 2: Holy Spirit just comes uninvited and says, hold my hands
• 1:31:14
  here y, No, it doesn't work that way. That's a
• 1:31:16
  demon spirit. Even if it's after ten years, he will
• 1:31:20
  stretch his hands and say, give me a chance to
• 1:31:24
  produce the glory of God out of your life.
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 1: And you will argue and say, I don't. I want
• 1:31:29
  to do things my own way.
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 2: After you go around and waste time and waste destiny,
• 1:31:34
  you still come back to the same point and you
• 1:31:37
  will see the loving spirits. I can make this journey
• 1:31:39
  easier for you for someone. Tonight you came to church
• 1:31:42
  and God is telling you this candal approach to life
• 1:31:46
  using guesswork.
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 1: Are we together? Oh?
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 2: This one, this one Abuja legos, Abuja legos. Let me
• 1:31:53
  count five one to three, four five, it's legos. You
• 1:31:55
  will ruin your life that way, this kind of superstitious living.
• 1:32:00
  You cannot risk your life and the destinies of people
• 1:32:03
  just using intelligence.
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 1: What if you know better, you find out.
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 2: You made a mistake. Now the Holy Spirit for you.
• 1:32:17
  When he holds you, you will start one journey after another.
• 1:32:21
  It will not make sense. So when he starts, remember
• 1:32:23
  I told you he would disrupt a lot of your plans.
• 1:32:28
  You will not even understand your own life yourself. The
• 1:32:32
  only thing is that you know he's leading me. But
• 1:32:36
  as he leads you through all of that darkness, all
• 1:32:41
  of a sudden, you will start seeing a ray of light.
• 1:32:44
  And that light and through the foolishness of your submitting
• 1:32:49
  to him. It may take a few years, but you
• 1:32:52
  now begin to see the beauty and glory that comes
• 1:32:54
  out of your life.
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 1: And people would turn and say, I used to know
• 1:32:59
  this sister. God.
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 2: We thought this sister was a total failure. Look what
• 1:33:04
  God has done. Look what God has made out of
• 1:33:07
  his life, out of her life. Let me speak to
• 1:33:09
  someone here before I continue. You have run your life
• 1:33:13
  your own way. Listen, you came to church because God
• 1:33:16
  is telling you. This is the topondness that God to
• 1:33:18
  your grandfather where he was. God gave him a chance.
• 1:33:21
  He rejected it. For some of us, God came to
• 1:33:24
  our parents and said, can I help you?
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 1: You don't know the road.
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 2: There used to be an old him who used to
• 1:33:31
  sing in a seminary. My God knows the way through
• 1:33:33
  the wilderness. He says, all I have to do is
• 1:33:37
  to follow that you hold his hands, and says, Spirit
• 1:33:42
  of God. The world is too wicked, too complicated, too deceptive.
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 1: I don't even know who is since here and who
• 1:33:48
  is not. But I can trust you, can trust you.
• 1:33:55
  What's that song? Trusting the Lord all your heart.
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 12: And lean.
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 1: Your own understand.
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 13: In all your ways, acknowledge, and he shall direct, and
• 1:34:16
  he shall direct.
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 1: Your trust in the Lord. You know your heart.
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 7: And lean.
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 12: Your own understanding in all your ways, sick knowledge, and
• 1:34:38
  he shall direct, and he shall direct.
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 2: Honestly, I want you to believe that the Holy Spirit
• 1:34:50
  is a master at navigating destiny. He knows the mountains,
• 1:34:57
  he knows the valleys. You see, because in this journey
• 1:35:02
  of destiny, you can be looking at a whole and
• 1:35:06
  not know it is a whole.
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 1: It's only when your eyes tells you it's.
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 2: A whole, and you will see beautiful lost gardens and
• 1:35:14
  quickly get there and find yourself in a hole that
• 1:35:17
  if you are not careful, you may never come out of.
• 1:35:22
  There are many people who have entered pzzing destiny, pits
• 1:35:25
  in ministry, pzz in family. Only God can bring them
• 1:35:29
  out because they have decided that they will stop only
• 1:35:33
  run their lives by themselves. God is speaking to someone.
• 1:35:36
  Trust God with your life. You have trusted people and
• 1:35:39
  things of lesser value. You carried your whole life and
• 1:35:43
  gave them.
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 1: Allahah help me. You are the mighty God, and follow you.
• 1:35:57
  You are the.
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 10: Dirac, You are.
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 1: The miny God, the mighty Til told me you you
• 1:36:09
  are the glory of God. All you want am to God.
• 1:36:19
  Hell tom in you you are the glory of God.
• 1:36:28
  A ministry to you, Dave. Can you sing for me
• 1:36:31
  that song? Spirit? Lead me find the convenient and sing it.
• 1:36:36
  I want you to listen. Lead you are my trust.
• 1:36:40
  He's with the listeners.
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 8: Let me come on the world where you cool me.
• 1:36:53
  Take me deep, then my feed but.
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 5: And my leaf would be made strong in the press
• 1:37:05
  of my safe.
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 1: Spirit.
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 5: Lead me with my trust.
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 1: Still we have our boarders.
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 5: Let me walk along the waters where were you would
• 1:37:24
  call me? Take me deep, pretend my feet, for I
• 1:37:32
  have wander in. My fame would be made strong in
• 1:37:39
  the press and on my saved spirit. Lead me with
• 1:37:47
  my trust. Still we hear the hard boards. Let me
• 1:37:52
  walk upon the waters wherever were you would go.
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 1: To contain me within my fe.
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 5: In my face with be made.
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 1: Strong even.
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 4: My sha.
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 2: Allelujah. The spiritual man is beyond a church goer. The
• 1:38:26
  spiritual man is beyond a tongue talker. The spiritual man
• 1:38:33
  is beyond a routine prayer practitioner. A spiritual man is
• 1:38:40
  beyond a fasting person.
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 1: Now at the.
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 2: Core of the journey to true spirituality, it's number one,
• 1:38:51
  a genuine encounter with the Son of the Living God.
• 1:38:55
  Number two, an encounter with the person and the ministry
• 1:39:01
  of the Holy Spirit. Number three a thorough comprehension of
• 1:39:06
  the ways of God, the mysteries of the Kingdom, the
• 1:39:10
  principles of the Kingdom, and that by the scripture. Number
• 1:39:14
  four listen carefully submission. Submission is different from encounter. There
• 1:39:21
  are many people who can write books about the Holy Spirit,
• 1:39:24
  but it is clear from their lives that they do
• 1:39:27
  not want the inconvenience of submission to the governing authority
• 1:39:32
  of the Spirit of God as an act of faith,
• 1:39:36
  as an act of trust. Number five, the faith factor
• 1:39:42
  that defines spirituality write this down, please, is submission to transformation.
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 1: By the word of God.
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 2: Again, just like submission to the Holy Spirit. Just because
• 1:39:55
  you have access to the mysteries of the Kingdom, that
• 1:39:59
  is knowledge, it does not mean you have chosen to
• 1:40:02
  submit to transformation. Number five is one of the cardinal
• 1:40:08
  pillers that transits a man from canality to spirituality. A
• 1:40:15
  canal man is a canal man because he is cannally minded.
• 1:40:20
  A spiritual man is a spiritual man because he is
• 1:40:23
  spiritually minded. Any other factor that holds minor mentality cannot
• 1:40:30
  leave someone in a spiritual person. There are many people
• 1:40:33
  bragging about spirituality, but from the lens of scriptural submit
• 1:40:38
  to you, they are not spiritual men.
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 1: No transformation. Submit to transformation. This is the fifth.
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 2: You are willing to submit to transformation by the word
• 1:40:54
  of God. Romans twelfth one and two. I besiechly, brethren,
• 1:40:58
  by the messages of God, that ye offer present your
• 1:41:02
  bodies onto God, a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable onto God,
• 1:41:06
  which is your reasonable act of worship.
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 1: Verse two, it says, and.
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 2: Be not conformed to this world the thinking patient that
• 1:41:15
  comes with this system, He.
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 1: Says, but be ye transformed here.
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 2: It is by the renewal of your mind, that by
• 1:41:24
  your transformation, you can prove what is that good, acceptable
• 1:41:29
  and perfect will of God. Philippian Chapter two and verse five.
• 1:41:36
  Let this mind be in you, which was also in
• 1:41:42
  Christ Jesus. Permit allow, do not restrict, Do not restraint
• 1:41:49
  this mentality from being in you, which was also in
• 1:41:54
  Christ Jesus. True spirituality is not just about activities. True
• 1:42:02
  spirituality is seen in the extent of your submission for
• 1:42:07
  transformation to a point where you are changed in experience.
• 1:42:12
  There are many people who pray but have refused to change.
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 1: Do you know what I said?
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 2: Because prayer is supposed to lead to change, but they
• 1:42:19
  have refused to change. Many people study the scripture and
• 1:42:23
  quote scripture, but they have not submitted to transformation. Many
• 1:42:27
  people fast and keep fasting, but they have not submitted
• 1:42:31
  to transformation. Many people who come to charge, they can
• 1:42:36
  quote everything they have learned from everywhere, but they have
• 1:42:39
  not submitted to change. Can I tell you you cannot
• 1:42:42
  be a spiritually a spiritual man with a canal mind.
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 1: It doesn't work that way.
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 2: It is that transition from canal thinking to true spirituality,
• 1:42:54
  and the Bible says the reward you get is life
• 1:42:57
  and peace. Submission to the World of God. Submission to transformation, that.
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 1: The Word of God, like the Spirit of God, becomes
• 1:43:14
  final authority over your life.
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 2: You have been indoctrinated by the value system of the Kingdom.
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 1: Are we together? I have taught you that one of the.
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 2: Ways you test transformation is that it becomes difficult for
• 1:43:27
  people to connect you to any.
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 1: Region within the earth.
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 2: It's difficult for them to say you are your Roba
• 1:43:34
  or Housa or Ebo. Maybe by your accent or by
• 1:43:37
  your look, that's fine, but by behavior. No, your behavior
• 1:43:42
  is so transitioned it betrays where you are coming from.
• 1:43:48
  You can't see someone and saying you're behaving like them,
• 1:43:51
  Where are you from? Ahe it's all these people, that's
• 1:43:53
  how they behave.
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 1: No, that means you've not grown.
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 2: Because the Kingdom of God has its culture too. And
• 1:43:59
  when you submit to the World of God, something begins
• 1:44:01
  to happen to you.
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 1: You see that he won't stop. He won't stop till
• 1:44:11
  my lie looks like him. He won't start. He won't
• 1:44:16
  stop till my mind looks like him. He won't start.
• 1:44:23
  He won't start till my destiny looks like him. See.
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 2: When you know this, you will not only get born
• 1:44:33
  again and keep bragging up being a Christian for ten
• 1:44:35
  years and make a mockery of your Christian experience. The
• 1:44:39
  next thing to ask yourself is whose mindset am I representing?
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 1: Whose mindset? Have I embraced.
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 2: Stumbling blocks that will not allow you to be a
• 1:44:51
  representation of the image of christ inexperience?
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 1: Are we together submission to transformation? This is what is
• 1:45:09
  happening to you.
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 2: That's why I salute you and I take your coming
• 1:45:13
  every week, not just as a I don't have a
• 1:45:16
  membership mentality as a man of God. I'm too serious
• 1:45:19
  to be thinking membership. No, you are beyond members This
• 1:45:25
  is God's, God's vessel, God's ship on a project towards transformation.
• 1:45:31
  Is the reason why I take my work very seriously.
• 1:45:35
  You see that because every time we have the opportunity
• 1:45:39
  to meet, whether to meet virtually or to.
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 1: Meet here is the business of transformation.
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 2: I know that if you are not transformed, the reality
• 1:45:48
  of the christ life will not be manifesting you.
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 1: And this is what has plagued many people.
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 2: Some of you are here and you are wondering why
• 1:45:57
  the promises of God cannot.
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 1: Find the expression. There is a kind of believer that
• 1:46:03
  can capture the promises of God in your.
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 2: Life and experience. And if you don't transition, do you
• 1:46:09
  know for instance? And I will wrap up with that,
• 1:46:14
  the believer who cannot give up anger, look or please
• 1:46:18
  anger alone. Just let's use one fleshly attribute of anger
• 1:46:24
  that you cannot.
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 1: Die to anger by the spirit.
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 2: Anger alone can wreck all your relationships and destroy your
• 1:46:32
  destiny forever.
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 1: Are we together? How about lost?
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 2: Not just lost in terms of immral behavior, lost for things, money.
• 1:46:41
  It can relocate you out of the will of God,
• 1:46:43
  send wrong people to your life. See that now, I
• 1:46:52
  hope you are listening to what I'm telling you. Just
• 1:46:55
  one fleshly attribute is like a virus that can enter
• 1:46:59
  your system and wreck you into pieces, wreck you into pieces.
• 1:47:06
  I love God, but let me tell you me and
• 1:47:09
  my own kind of passwords. When I'm angry, I will
• 1:47:12
  calm down to the member and beats the person and
• 1:47:14
  come up. You see, don't celebrate bad things. Change, whether
• 1:47:21
  you're a man of God, whether you're a member. If
• 1:47:24
  you find out something in you is not good, don't
• 1:47:27
  justify it. Because a man of God is still a
• 1:47:30
  student change, don't justify it. I won't go back, can
• 1:47:44
  go back to the way it used to be before.
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 1: Your presence came man change.
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 7: Go back, can go.
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 1: Path to the way used to be before your person Allelujah.
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 2: I want you to know that if you refuse to
• 1:48:19
  transit to become spiritual, at the end of your life,
• 1:48:24
  your Christian testimony will never inspire anybody to love God,
• 1:48:28
  because all that your life will capture is a plethora
• 1:48:33
  of events that will cost you pain, misrepresent Christ, and
• 1:48:39
  perhaps got shot your life. You will never see the
• 1:48:44
  reality of the victorious life at work, and you will
• 1:48:48
  be wondering why God will push you to destiny help us,
• 1:48:51
  but anger will drive you away from them.
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 1: Demon spirits will come to oppress you.
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 2: But because you have not submitted to that which builds
• 1:49:00
  your discernment, you will fall cheaply into all kinds of things.
• 1:49:07
  You see, the reason why we pray, the reason why
• 1:49:11
  we first, the reason why we study the world, the
• 1:49:15
  reason why we submit ourselves to all the spiritual disciplines
• 1:49:19
  is to this end. It is not to show religiosity.
• 1:49:23
  It is as part of the tools that sponsor that
• 1:49:27
  transition to become spiritual. The justification for prayer, Ah, It's
• 1:49:34
  not just doing it in the presence of people. Is
• 1:49:36
  the change that happens has proved that it has changed you.
• 1:49:40
  The justification for studying scripture is not just to quote
• 1:49:44
  it in the presence of people that can be pretense,
• 1:49:47
  is that you have been so immersed by that world
• 1:49:50
  you have become one with it. So it's not just
• 1:49:53
  something you preach. It's not even what you do again,
• 1:49:57
  it is who you are, just like God. You have
• 1:50:01
  become an expression of the logos of God in experience
• 1:50:06
  that when men look at you, the next person they
• 1:50:08
  think about is Jesus Christ. And it's not because you
• 1:50:11
  are holding a Bible, it's not because you are standing
• 1:50:14
  on stage. It is because you have become one with
• 1:50:18
  the world, one with the spirit, through the vehicle of prayer,
• 1:50:22
  through the vehicle of fasting, through the vehicle of listening
• 1:50:26
  to the world of God. Most believers don't know why
• 1:50:29
  they pray. Let me tell you the truth. A major
• 1:50:32
  part of believers in Africa pray because of guilt, not because.
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 1: They want to grow.
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 2: They just pray because it seems like they don't want
• 1:50:40
  to be blackmailed that they are not spiritual by not
• 1:50:43
  being prayer for and so people just do it as
• 1:50:45
  the ritual, and you will see a lot of energy
• 1:50:48
  dissipated in prayer. But the transformation is to capture is
• 1:50:53
  not captured in the life of the people. A lot
• 1:50:57
  of believers to audy scripture simply, especially men of God.
• 1:51:01
  We like to study scripture simply because.
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 1: We want to go through the rhetorics of intelligence.
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 2: But the transformation that comes by submitting to the world
• 1:51:13
  is largely.
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 1: Deficient in our lives. The spiritual man, hear me, is
• 1:51:19
  not just one who is out of the.
• 1:51:22
  Speaker 2: Spirit interacting with spirits, because occulties do that. The spiritual
• 1:51:27
  man is one who, in order of priority, has encountered Christ.
• 1:51:33
  The spiritual man has encountered the person, and the minister
• 1:51:37
  of the Holy Spirit has access to the mysteries of
• 1:51:41
  the Kingdom, and then has chosen, as an act of
• 1:51:44
  his or her will, to submit to the governing authority
• 1:51:48
  of the Spirit of God.
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 1: To guide you in all matters. And you have chosen
• 1:51:54
  to submit to transformation that the world of.
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 2: God becomes the vista with which I look at life.
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 1: Are we together? Are you learning? Now? Let me teach
• 1:52:06
  you something. As we find a place to pray.
• 1:52:13
  Speaker 2: Hmm, Shama Lando scopriator catabaradus. Someone is rising in this
• 1:52:25
  place tonight, and by the spirit of the Living God,
• 1:52:29
  you are stepping into a dimension in the spirit where
• 1:52:32
  your life becomes a sign and a wonder in.
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 1: The name of Jesus Christ. Now listen.
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 2: The Bible talks about attaining onto the fullness of the
• 1:52:45
  measure of the stature of Christ.
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 1: Efficient chapter four place give us.
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 2: From verse ten, the Bible says, he that descended is
• 1:52:58
  also the same that send it far above the heavens,
• 1:53:01
  that he may feel all things.
• 1:53:03
  Speaker 1: Verse eleven, he says, and he gave on.
• 1:53:06
  Speaker 2: To some Please pay attention, now you need to get
• 1:53:08
  what I'm about to show you. He gave on to
• 1:53:10
  some apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors, and teach us.
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 1: Verse twelve.
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 2: Why did he give that for the perfecting the word
• 1:53:21
  perfect It means the maturing of the saints, for the
• 1:53:25
  work of the ministry, for the defying. Listen of the
• 1:53:29
  body of Christ. And here is the standard that God
• 1:53:33
  has for every believer. As starting, it says, till we
• 1:53:37
  all come into the unity of faith and of the
• 1:53:42
  knowledge of the Son of God, onto a perfect, mature,
• 1:53:45
  entire man. Then he says, onto the measure of the stature, help.
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 1: Me please, of the fullness of Christ.
• 1:53:55
  Speaker 2: That is God's destiny as far as the making of
• 1:53:59
  the believer concern that you can get to a point
• 1:54:02
  in the spirit where you can attain the fullness.
• 1:54:05
  Speaker 1: Of Christ and manifest that.
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 2: I've stoted this for a while because in my mind
• 1:54:10
  I'm just wondering and said, how does a man become
• 1:54:13
  a reflection of the.
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 1: Christ in his fullness? Is that even possible?
• 1:54:18
  Speaker 2: Can a man actually be a reflection of the fullness
• 1:54:23
  of Christ? I found out it is true, and I
• 1:54:27
  want to show you how right now, and then we'll
• 1:54:29
  pray that a man can attain onto a state of
• 1:54:32
  maturity where your life becomes a wholesome reflection of Christ
• 1:54:38
  in his fullness, to your world, to the earth now,
• 1:54:44
  in learning Jesus Christ, and in reflecting Him.
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 1: Please.
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 2: I wanted to listen, and if you're a man of
• 1:54:51
  God here, I want you to listen. If you are
• 1:54:54
  training people to become like Christ, these are the areas
• 1:54:58
  you must focus on. These areas are not captured in
• 1:55:02
  your training, the people you are leading will.
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 1: Never become like Christ.
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 2: It doesn't matter what kind of spiritual activities you engage.
• 1:55:10
  In the formation of Christ in the saints has a formula.
• 1:55:15
  Are we together? There is something you have to guide
• 1:55:19
  the people into understanding, receiving, submitting to, and you will
• 1:55:24
  find out not just one, two, three people in mass.
• 1:55:27
  You will find out that ordinary people, weak people, seeers
• 1:55:31
  as we call them, will suddenly begin to transition in
• 1:55:34
  the spirit until you have.
• 1:55:36
  Speaker 1: The privilege of leading people who are truly like Christ.
• 1:55:40
  Can I show you this number one?
• 1:55:44
  Speaker 2: The first area, the first area you must focus on
• 1:55:51
  building in your attempts to build in people, the image,
• 1:55:56
  the character, the formation of Christ. The first area you
• 1:56:00
  have to focus on to mold in them is the
• 1:56:05
  nature of Christ. The first dimension of the fullness of
• 1:56:10
  Christ that must be captured and reflected in people is
• 1:56:14
  the nature of Christ, the nature of Christ, the nature
• 1:56:20
  of Christ. The people you are leading are not becoming
• 1:56:24
  like Jesus if his nature is not manifesting, and if
• 1:56:29
  His nature is not reflecting in them. Notice the progression
• 1:56:33
  the primary assignment of any man of God in an
• 1:56:38
  attempt to build a people who are a reflection of Christ.
• 1:56:42
  In an attempt to build true spiritual are people is
• 1:56:46
  to partner with the Word and the Holy Spirit, to
• 1:56:50
  sit with that the nature of the Christ is formed
• 1:56:54
  in them.
• 1:56:54
  Speaker 1: Galatians, Chapter five and verse twenty two.
• 1:56:59
  Speaker 2: Now what you know and you call the fruit of
• 1:57:03
  the Spirit. Now, when you read KJV, follow carefully. KJV
• 1:57:08
  makes it looks like there are nine fruits love, joy, peace, patience,
• 1:57:13
  long suffering, And there's nothing wrong if you see it
• 1:57:16
  that way. But classically speaking, the fruit of the Spirit,
• 1:57:20
  you notice it's not set fruits.
• 1:57:22
  Speaker 1: It is one fruit.
• 1:57:24
  Speaker 2: The epitomy of the manifestation of the Christ is love.
• 1:57:29
  The nature of God at work in a man is
• 1:57:32
  the love nature. But that this nature expresses itself in
• 1:57:36
  all of these varieties.
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 1: Joy and expression of love.
• 1:57:41
  Speaker 2: Peace an expression of love, patience an expression of love, gentleness.
• 1:57:48
  Gentleness is not a personality thing. It is the outworking
• 1:57:51
  of the Spirit of the Christ in a yielded vessel. Listen,
• 1:57:55
  as you are looking at these things. Now debund respectfully
• 1:57:59
  from the lens of that thought that this is my personality.
• 1:58:03
  I am an angry person. I'm not jealous. I'm not gentle.
• 1:58:07
  I am jealous. That's how we are. It's a lie
• 1:58:10
  when you become a spiritual man. It is the journey
• 1:58:13
  to deadening every other thing that.
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 1: Is not of the Christ. Are we together now the
• 1:58:19
  nature of Christ? Everybody, say the nature of Christ.
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 2: That means I should be able to bring someone Ebo, Euroba, Houser, South, South,
• 1:58:28
  Middle Belt, Caribbean, American, European group, all of them together.
• 1:58:33
  If it is true they are spiritual men, they should.
• 1:58:36
  Speaker 1: Look like relatives from the same family. Are we together?
• 1:58:41
  Speaker 2: That you should have reduced, like a viral load to
• 1:58:45
  its barest minimum, the character of the flesh when you
• 1:58:50
  look at them. Please keep that scripture. This is what
• 1:58:52
  I should find in a spiritual man. Love in all
• 1:58:58
  its expressions. Joy, you see that, peace, Patience. I'm not
• 1:59:06
  a patient person, but I love God. Walk on it,
• 1:59:09
  walk on it. Allow the Spirit of God leave out
• 1:59:12
  the character of the Christ. All of these things we
• 1:59:15
  saw it in the life of Jesus, and the Bible says,
• 1:59:18
  as the Father has sent me, so said are you.
• 1:59:21
  Speaker 1: We always think of this with respect to power. But
• 1:59:24
  power issue will come.
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 2: But the first area that you must labor with the
• 1:59:29
  spirit to build is the character and the nature of Christ.
• 1:59:34
  Say it again, the nature of Christ, Gentleness, goodness, faith,
• 1:59:39
  ah Verse twenty three. Meekness. You know what meekness is teachability.
• 1:59:46
  Teachability the antidote to pride, teachability, temperance. Another word for
• 1:59:53
  temperance is self control, self control, self control.
• 2:00:00
  Speaker 1: It says, against such there is no law. Listen to me.
• 2:00:05
  When you look at a Christian, a child of God
• 2:00:09
  who has truly.
• 2:00:10
  Speaker 2: Become a spiritual man, The first thing that should catch
• 2:00:15
  your attention is not tongues.
• 2:00:18
  Speaker 1: The first thing that should catch your attention is not ramma.
• 2:00:22
  Speaker 2: The first thing that should catch your attention listen carefully,
• 2:00:26
  is not manifestations of power. The first thing that should
• 2:00:30
  catch your attention where you meet it real Christian is
• 2:00:33
  the energy that flows from his love life. Did you
• 2:00:38
  hear what I said? You see that we have a
• 2:00:41
  lot of work to do in our lives. How many
• 2:00:44
  of us say we are Christians, and people stand and
• 2:00:46
  they want to run away because hate has an energy
• 2:00:49
  you can't feel it. We vent our anger in our salmons,
• 2:00:54
  we vent our anger as we deal with people in
• 2:00:56
  our offices, and we wrap up everything.
• 2:00:59
  Speaker 1: In the name of the Lord. No sir, no sir.
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 2: The real proof that you are becoming a spiritual man
• 2:01:06
  I'm telling you this with no excuses whatsoever. Is that
• 2:01:10
  the love of Christ is growing within you. We say
• 2:01:14
  that after every service, and yet we do not believe it. Yes,
• 2:01:18
  what we say, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
• 2:01:21
  the love of God, and we will say the sweet
• 2:01:25
  fellowship of the Holy Spirit. AH be with us All Amen. Love,
• 2:01:39
  love for God and love for people. Everybody, say love.
• 2:01:44
  I'm saying this to you so that you would check
• 2:01:46
  your life right now. You came to church.
• 2:01:49
  Speaker 1: And if you find out that the love of God
• 2:01:51
  is not growing, and if it's only God you love,
• 2:01:54
  you are lying. I hope you know that, because the
• 2:01:57
  nature of God's love is both vertical and horizontal. If
• 2:02:01
  your love is only to God, the more.
• 2:02:08
  Speaker 2: You love him, the more you love those he died for,
• 2:02:12
  The more you love him, the more you love.
• 2:02:14
  Speaker 1: Those He's trusting you with. You see as a man
• 2:02:17
  of God.
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 2: For instance, when you love the people God has sent
• 2:02:20
  to you, you don't need to be preached into not
• 2:02:24
  manipulating them. All of these things we try to address
• 2:02:28
  in the Body of Christ. The real problem is that
• 2:02:30
  people do not love God, and they do not love
• 2:02:33
  the people that God has said to them.
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 1: Because there are many, many things that live your life.
• 2:02:39
  When love is there, are we together?
• 2:02:45
  Speaker 2: When you love God and you love the people He
• 2:02:48
  has sent to you, you will love them too much
• 2:02:51
  to deceive them. You will love them too much to
• 2:02:54
  manipulate them. You will love them too much to try
• 2:02:58
  and turn their minds for your own personal gain. No,
• 2:03:01
  this is beyond an issue of conscience. This is as
• 2:03:05
  a testament that the nature of God dwells in you.
• 2:03:14
  How many believers have love? When you begin to make
• 2:03:17
  teachings on love, most believers just think it's a feminine thing.
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 1: Their mind goes straight to Valentine and they think love.
• 2:03:24
  Love is there? Really is love thing?
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 2: And one Miraquan power is the reason why many people
• 2:03:31
  become cheated. Because love is not as weak as you
• 2:03:34
  think it is. That's what defeated Satan. People come to
• 2:03:47
  church and just for three hours, they cannot tolerate the
• 2:03:51
  people sitting by their left and right three hours because
• 2:03:55
  at tread in them is boiling like water at one
• 2:03:58
  hundred degrees for who to pour on?
• 2:04:03
  Speaker 1: Sit down.
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 2: The next time you push me, I will slap you.
• 2:04:06
  Even though we're in church. Let me just tell you
• 2:04:08
  I'm not like that. If you're tired of me, go
• 2:04:10
  and look for another neighbor.
• 2:04:11
  Speaker 1: Lived up. Jesus, I love you, and God is saying,
• 2:04:14
  who are you deceiving? I hope you are learning.
• 2:04:22
  Speaker 2: Love, the real missing ingredient, because our world does not
• 2:04:27
  know the value of love. Love is not a feminine thing.
• 2:04:31
  It's not just some weak emotional thing. It is the
• 2:04:34
  very manifestation of the nature of God.
• 2:04:37
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you it is beautiful to see a
• 2:04:39
  believer that really truly.
• 2:04:42
  Speaker 2: Has the love of Christ. There are things you will
• 2:04:47
  not do to your neighbor. If you have love, you
• 2:04:50
  will not rejoice. I don't want to take you to
• 2:04:53
  First Corinthians thirteen and show you what the Bible says
• 2:04:56
  about love. Though I speak with the tongues of men
• 2:04:59
  and of angels, and I have not love. Is that
• 2:05:02
  in your Bible? Do I offer my body to be born?
• 2:05:05
  Say sacrifice?
• 2:05:06
  Speaker 7: Uha.
• 2:05:07
  Speaker 2: Many people have the power and the energy for sacrifice,
• 2:05:11
  but the love component is not there. It says, do
• 2:05:13
  I have the gift of prophecy and I understand all mysteries?
• 2:05:17
  I've not met such a man? And do I have
• 2:05:20
  all knowledge?
• 2:05:21
  Speaker 1: And I have all faith? To move mountains? And I
• 2:05:23
  have not love. I am nothing.
• 2:05:26
  Speaker 2: Verse three, it says, though I best store my goods
• 2:05:29
  to feed the poor charity, and I give my body
• 2:05:33
  to be born my tired doom, and I do.
• 2:05:36
  Speaker 1: Not have love.
• 2:05:37
  Speaker 2: It does not profit me anything. Then it says love
• 2:05:41
  is patience. I wish we have new King James.
• 2:05:45
  Speaker 1: Love is patient, Thank you, suffers long. It is kind.
• 2:05:50
  Speaker 2: It does not envy. Are you seeing now? So don't
• 2:05:52
  say I have love. Check whether you have envy. If
• 2:05:55
  envy is there, envy push part of love out to
• 2:05:58
  be there, does not parade itself, is not tought of.
• 2:06:04
  Verse five, does not behave rudely, does not seek its
• 2:06:09
  own self, is not easily provoked or provoked thin cat,
• 2:06:14
  no evil. You see that love is also a mentality issue.
• 2:06:19
  Speaker 1: Verse six.
• 2:06:21
  Speaker 2: Does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth.
• 2:06:25
  Speaker 1: Verse seven.
• 2:06:27
  Speaker 2: Bears all things, believes all things. It doesn't mean believe
• 2:06:31
  nonsense whatever they bring. I hope you understand that now
• 2:06:35
  hopes all things, and Deus all things.
• 2:06:38
  Speaker 1: This is the character of love.
• 2:06:42
  Speaker 2: When the love of God is at work in your
• 2:06:44
  life and you're a true Christian, the first thing unbelievers
• 2:06:47
  want to see is not power. The first thing unbelievers
• 2:06:51
  want to see is love. Let me tell you the truth.
• 2:06:54
  I have studied church growth and I want to tell
• 2:06:56
  you something. This is not a pastor's conference. I don't
• 2:06:58
  know why God is going this way, but.
• 2:07:00
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you one real secret to church growth. Love.
• 2:07:04
  You will not hear this tating Bible in perstors conferences. Rather,
• 2:07:08
  people can say, you know what, do this.
• 2:07:10
  Speaker 2: Some of the biggest churches today in the world, with
• 2:07:14
  all due respect, are not necessarily power churches. He said,
• 2:07:18
  John did no miracles, but there was one testimony he had.
• 2:07:22
  He was an honest man. He had love within his heart.
• 2:07:30
  I've seen people who are very powerful, and wonder why
• 2:07:34
  nobody wants to listen to them. Because human beings are
• 2:07:37
  not only looking for power. We have made power look
• 2:07:41
  like it is everything. No, there is a place for
• 2:07:44
  that that you will be learning. But the first manifestation
• 2:07:48
  of the christ like dimension in a man is his nature.
• 2:07:52
  Never forget this before you seek power. Seek to be
• 2:07:57
  like Christ. By having his love and his character at
• 2:08:02
  working you. Then you're being powerful will be valuable. But
• 2:08:06
  it is a dangerous thing to pursue power without the
• 2:08:10
  nature of God.
• 2:08:11
  Speaker 1: First, and leaders.
• 2:08:12
  Speaker 2: When you are mentoring your people, don't be in a
• 2:08:15
  hurry to just lay hands and impact people. No, build
• 2:08:19
  the nature of Christ in them first. An anointed preacher
• 2:08:23
  who does not have the character.
• 2:08:24
  Speaker 1: Of Christ is a dangerous person. I tell you this.
• 2:08:33
  Speaker 2: Is the reason why there's a lot of misbehavior with
• 2:08:35
  the anointing. For a angry I can speak a course
• 2:08:37
  on you anyhow. That is not a power problem. It
• 2:08:41
  is a nature of God problem. One time the disciples
• 2:08:45
  saw some people and said, should we call down fire
• 2:08:47
  like Elijah?
• 2:08:48
  Speaker 13: This ah?
• 2:08:49
  Speaker 1: Jesus looked at them and said, do.
• 2:08:50
  Speaker 2: You not know of whom you have? No, this is
• 2:08:53
  another kind of spirit at work in you. Place your
• 2:08:56
  hand on your chest and pray one minute. I desire
• 2:08:59
  to have the love nature of Christ. Please pray sincerely
• 2:09:03
  from your heart. When the love of God is at
• 2:09:07
  working you, you do not rejoice over the heart and
• 2:09:09
  the pain of others. The body of Christ needs to
• 2:09:13
  grow out of this. We rejoice over the heart and
• 2:09:16
  the pain of others. No, the christ like formation starts
• 2:09:22
  with his love.
• 2:09:24
  Speaker 1: The love of Jesus.
• 2:09:26
  Speaker 2: That you hear that someone lost a job in your office,
• 2:09:29
  you are not rejoicing and same confirmation or prophecy.
• 2:09:32
  Speaker 1: I saw it. No, you go back, and how will
• 2:09:37
  this man? Now?
• 2:09:38
  Speaker 2: It is love that should lead us to prayer. It
• 2:09:41
  is love that should lead us to Bible study. It
• 2:09:44
  is love that should lead us to fasting. Any other
• 2:09:47
  thing that leads you aside from love is not of faith.
• 2:09:51
  Speaker 1: And it is seen.
• 2:09:54
  Speaker 2: Love must be the reason why I desire growth in
• 2:09:57
  my life and in this ministry.
• 2:10:00
  Speaker 1: Love is not there.
• 2:10:00
  Speaker 2: The alternative will be competition. The alternative will be envy.
• 2:10:04
  The alternative will be jealousy. The alternative will be vain glory.
• 2:10:09
  Love is a purifier. It purifies motives.
• 2:10:16
  Speaker 1: Number two.
• 2:10:23
  Speaker 2: The first dimension of Christ that must be captured in
• 2:10:27
  any man to be spiritual is called his nature, the
• 2:10:31
  nature of Christ.
• 2:10:32
  Speaker 1: Number two.
• 2:10:34
  Speaker 2: The second dimension of Christ that must be captured in
• 2:10:36
  every believer to be called a spiritual man, is called
• 2:10:40
  the mind or the wisdom of Christ. So the first
• 2:10:45
  is the nature of Christ, the love of Christ. The
• 2:10:50
  second dimension is called the mind of Christ. Philippians chapter two, one,
• 2:10:55
  verse five.
• 2:10:56
  Speaker 1: The mind of.
• 2:10:57
  Speaker 2: Christ, the mind of Christ, the mind of Christ, the wisdom.
• 2:11:05
  In fact, I think is it first Corinthians two seven,
• 2:11:09
  Or so I hope I got that right.
• 2:11:13
  Speaker 1: Give it to us. Let's say First Corinthians after two
• 2:11:15
  and seven.
• 2:11:17
  Speaker 2: Yes, the wisdom, the hidden wisdom that God ordained for
• 2:11:21
  our glory. I used to think when the Bible says
• 2:11:24
  the mind of Christ, it just means the brain of Christ.
• 2:11:28
  But the word mind of Christ there does not just
• 2:11:30
  mean the mentality of Christ. Is an overall capture of
• 2:11:35
  the wisdom of God. One of the ways you manifest
• 2:11:39
  Christ is in wisdom. There is something in the Bible
• 2:11:42
  called the wisdom of the just. Look one seventeen, the
• 2:11:47
  wisdom of the just. Anybody who is in Christ, there
• 2:11:51
  is a dimension of wisdom is called the mind of Christ. Transformation,
• 2:11:58
  but a manifestation of wisdom. If that wisdom is not
• 2:12:02
  captured in your life, you are not a spiritual man.
• 2:12:04
  It's like a general that does not know how to
• 2:12:06
  shoot a gun?
• 2:12:07
  Speaker 1: Is that a real general? How did he become a general?
• 2:12:12
  Speaker 2: Even a young boy graduated from NDA who cannot shoot
• 2:12:16
  a gun will not graduate.
• 2:12:18
  Speaker 1: Are we together.
• 2:12:22
  Speaker 2: A general that cannot shoot a gon, A football superstar
• 2:12:26
  who has never scored when one penalty kick, a policeman
• 2:12:33
  who has never made one arrest. No, there is a
• 2:12:38
  wisdom component that is required in life.
• 2:12:42
  Speaker 1: Are we together? Listen?
• 2:12:46
  Speaker 2: When you believe this, you will cry out for the
• 2:12:49
  nature of Christ to be more like him. But then
• 2:12:54
  in addition to being like him, you have to justify
• 2:12:57
  his nature by supplying to your warded dimension of wisdom
• 2:13:02
  they know can only be found in Christ.
• 2:13:04
  Speaker 1: Are you seeing it now? The first place it affects
• 2:13:07
  is your heart.
• 2:13:09
  Speaker 2: Ah.
• 2:13:10
  Speaker 1: Then it goes to your mind. Are you seeing that now?
• 2:13:13
  Speaker 2: Then it goes to your hands, power, your heart purified,
• 2:13:20
  You'll become.
• 2:13:20
  Speaker 1: Like Christ in experience.
• 2:13:25
  Speaker 2: I shared with you humorously a story many years ago
• 2:13:28
  when to look for instruments from a man of God,
• 2:13:31
  and after the man was done preaching, preach powerfully. When
• 2:13:34
  we met the man, he lambastard and insulted us, use
• 2:13:38
  words that even a baby Christian should not use. And
• 2:13:42
  at the end of it, I remember it's very very
• 2:13:44
  young boys were on our way going back, and I
• 2:13:46
  was thinking to myself, what kind of a preacher is this?
• 2:13:49
  Speaker 1: I'm comparing in my mind too people.
• 2:13:52
  Speaker 2: One person who minutes ago was turning and shouting, and
• 2:13:55
  the other person who stood that was insulting us and
• 2:13:57
  calling anything you can remember, And I'm saying, no, this
• 2:14:00
  is this ought not to be so. The nature of Christ,
• 2:14:08
  and then the wisdom, the wisdom of God. I'm praying
• 2:14:13
  for you in the name of Jesus Christ, that the
• 2:14:16
  dimension of wisdom that will begin to flow from your
• 2:14:18
  life today, it will cause everybody to love God because
• 2:14:22
  of you. That the wisdom that you will begin to command,
• 2:14:27
  it will produce extraordinary results from your life. You will
• 2:14:33
  gain mastery over the mysteries of the Kingdom, and you
• 2:14:36
  will engage them with such level of mastery. Your life
• 2:14:39
  will be an unending episode of kingdom exploits. You believe that,
• 2:14:44
  say amen, It takes wisdom to build an excelling ministry.
• 2:14:51
  It takes wisdom to build an excelling career. It takes
• 2:14:55
  wisdom to maintain relationships. It takes wisdom to frontier and
• 2:15:00
  champion kingdom activities. Behind the mighty works, you see that
• 2:15:05
  the Saint's command is the wisdom of God, ordinary men
• 2:15:09
  fortified by divine wisdom, wisdom that is not sophia, not
• 2:15:13
  just ethnic wisdom, wisdom that is not just sensual and
• 2:15:17
  scientific wisdom that is not just demonic or diabolic wisdom
• 2:15:22
  that comes from above, pure portent carrying the ability to
• 2:15:28
  deliver results. Be tired of your nonproductive nature as a believer,
• 2:15:35
  and begin to contend for wisdom.
• 2:15:37
  Speaker 1: Something is wrong with my life. I love the Lord.
• 2:15:40
  Let people not look.
• 2:15:41
  Speaker 2: At your life and say this man or if he's
• 2:15:43
  being a Christian, he loves being he's a child of God,
• 2:15:47
  but in terms of kingdom, results don't go to him.
• 2:15:51
  He has one hundred percent love and zero wisdom bad decisions,
• 2:16:00
  wisdom the wisdom of the just. There is a kind
• 2:16:04
  of education believers must have. Your secular education, as powerful
• 2:16:09
  as it is, is wonderful, needed, useful, but not enough
• 2:16:14
  to produce the kind of God like destiny you seek
• 2:16:16
  to produce.
• 2:16:17
  Speaker 1: Do you know why?
• 2:16:18
  Speaker 2: The variables that you need to overcome to be successful
• 2:16:22
  God's Way are so many, and not all of them
• 2:16:26
  are captured in your secular training. You have to be
• 2:16:29
  re enlightened, re educated again God's way to equip you
• 2:16:34
  with the requisite wisdom to reign as a king and
• 2:16:37
  as a priest.
• 2:16:38
  Speaker 1: That you are Allelujah.
• 2:16:44
  Speaker 2: Everybody is a wisdom, and wisdom is not just a
• 2:16:47
  spiritual thing alone. Wisdom affects your mind the way you think.
• 2:16:52
  There is a way you can do the business God
• 2:16:55
  has given you.
• 2:16:56
  Speaker 1: You will see. Let me tell you this.
• 2:16:58
  Speaker 2: How do you know God's wisdom is at work because
• 2:17:01
  you will see God's dimension of results through your decisions.
• 2:17:05
  The moment your decisions are still producing human results. You
• 2:17:08
  have not brought God's wisdom. I tell you, extraordinary, undeniable
• 2:17:16
  walks by the hand of God.
• 2:17:18
  Speaker 1: That is wisdom for you.
• 2:17:24
  Speaker 2: Wisdom in ministry, wisdom in business, wisdom in your marriage,
• 2:17:30
  wisdom in how you are raising your children, Wisdom in
• 2:17:33
  how you are dealing with your finances, wisdom in leadership,
• 2:17:36
  how you are raising the people you are raising. You
• 2:17:40
  see that now something happens to people when they become
• 2:17:44
  wise onto godliness, not ex wisdom, not smartness, not wisdom
• 2:17:50
  that manipulates someone comfort two thousand and you say you
• 2:17:53
  are smart. No, that is demonic, diabolic wisdom. There is
• 2:17:58
  the wisdom that puts you in a class, a class
• 2:18:01
  that it will be clear that is God that kept
• 2:18:03
  you here. My God, I have still careers of this
• 2:18:06
  wisdom in my life. I've had the honor to meet
• 2:18:08
  a few of them. And when I do, for the
• 2:18:11
  times that have I cry for an importation of that wisdom.
• 2:18:16
  The wisdom that comes from above. There is the gift
• 2:18:20
  of wisdom. There is the spirit of wisdom. You will
• 2:18:29
  never be able to do any work of the kingdom
• 2:18:32
  and excel except you have wisdom. So number one the
• 2:18:36
  nature of God. Number two the mind of Christ. Are
• 2:18:39
  you ready for Number three? I will give you this
• 2:18:42
  and then will pray to end the service tonight. The
• 2:18:45
  spiritual man. The third dimension of the reflection of Christ
• 2:18:51
  that must be captured in the believer is called.
• 2:18:54
  Speaker 1: The walks of Christ.
• 2:18:56
  Speaker 2: So here we have the nature or character of Christ.
• 2:19:02
  Number two we have the mind slash wisdom of Christ.
• 2:19:06
  And then the final phase.
• 2:19:08
  Speaker 1: Are the works of Christ. At ten thirty eight, how
• 2:19:14
  God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and
• 2:19:18
  with power, with power, with power. When it has to
• 2:19:22
  do with the works, you see power has been introduced.
• 2:19:24
  Now power.
• 2:19:27
  Speaker 2: Who went about doing good? It didn't say who went
• 2:19:31
  about organizing programs. He went about doing good as a lifestyle.
• 2:19:37
  The works of Christ doing good. This is beyond just charity,
• 2:19:42
  doing good, bringing life, becoming like a river that everywhere
• 2:19:46
  you flow to life happens for the people, healing all
• 2:19:51
  who were oppressed of the devil. Notice three words that
• 2:19:56
  you should not forget when it has to do with
• 2:19:58
  the works of Christ. The Holy Spirit, power Satan, the
• 2:20:06
  Holy Spirit who brings the power, and that power is
• 2:20:10
  primarily against the demonic activities that assaults the saints.
• 2:20:18
  Speaker 1: The works of Christ. In John chapter twenty and verse
• 2:20:23
  twenty one.
• 2:20:25
  Speaker 2: John chapter twenty and verse twenty one, please give it
• 2:20:28
  to us John twenty and.
• 2:20:30
  Speaker 1: Verse twenty one. Do we have that? John twenty and
• 2:20:39
  verse twenty one. So Jesus said, unto.
• 2:20:43
  Speaker 2: Them again, Peace to you, as the Father has sent me,
• 2:20:48
  my God, as the Father has sent me. He did
• 2:20:53
  not just send me to reveal his nature. He sent
• 2:20:57
  me to reveal his power. When Jesus went to the
• 2:21:00
  temple to read the Messianic prophecy, he opened it and
• 2:21:04
  he said, the spirit of the Lord is upon me.
• 2:21:06
  Because he had annoyted me to preach god tithings to
• 2:21:11
  the poor or the milk. He had sent me to
• 2:21:13
  bind up the broken hearted. You are wondering what the
• 2:21:16
  works of Christ are this. I'm listening for you to
• 2:21:19
  bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives,
• 2:21:24
  the recovery of sight to the blind, to set at
• 2:21:27
  liberty them that are oppressed the works of Christ. If
• 2:21:32
  you want to be a reflection of the Christ as
• 2:21:35
  a spiritual man, you have the character of Christ, the
• 2:21:40
  wisdom of Christ, but you need the works of Christ.
• 2:21:45
  Speaker 1: And this is where the value of your annointing comes.
• 2:21:48
  Speaker 2: When the sick healed supernaturally to the glory of God,
• 2:21:53
  that's the works of Christ. When you reach down to
• 2:21:55
  the poor and the needy, and by helping them to
• 2:21:59
  supply help and aid, and then teaching them the principles.
• 2:22:03
  Speaker 1: That empower them, that is the works of Christ.
• 2:22:06
  Speaker 2: When you become light upon the earth, salt upon the earth, light,
• 2:22:11
  you see that the works of Christ.
• 2:22:13
  Speaker 1: There are many believers who do.
• 2:22:16
  Speaker 2: Not want to contend for this dimension of power to
• 2:22:19
  do the works of Christ. It is the nature of
• 2:22:22
  Christ plus the wisdom of Christ plus the works of
• 2:22:27
  Christ that represents the fullness of Christ at working a believer.
• 2:22:32
  Speaker 1: Let me take that again, the nature.
• 2:22:34
  Speaker 2: Or the character of Christ plus the wisdom, the mind
• 2:22:39
  of Christ, plus the works of Christ extraordinary exploits by
• 2:22:46
  the spirit and through the world.
• 2:22:48
  Speaker 1: When these treat.
• 2:22:49
  Speaker 2: Dimensions are captured in your life, you are truly a
• 2:22:52
  spiritual man. A spiritual man. Therefore, It's not just a
• 2:22:57
  man who loves to study the by It's not just
• 2:23:02
  a man who loves to pray. It's not just a
• 2:23:04
  man who loves to go to church.
• 2:23:06
  Speaker 1: Is not just a man who wants to serve God
• 2:23:08
  in ministry.
• 2:23:09
  Speaker 2: A spiritual a man you can safely summarize it as
• 2:23:13
  one who has worked with the Spirit of God to
• 2:23:17
  be able to embrace and inculcate within himself in experience
• 2:23:23
  the nature of Christ, who is manifesting by submission to
• 2:23:28
  the world. You see that the wisdom of Christ, and who,
• 2:23:34
  by the spirit of Grace, is demonstrating and manifesting the
• 2:23:39
  works of Christ, the chiefest of them being the work
• 2:23:42
  of global evangelization bringing many to Christ. Because according to scripture,
• 2:23:48
  God desires that all men be saved and then to
• 2:23:52
  come onto the knowledge of the Son.
• 2:23:58
  Speaker 1: Tonight.
• 2:23:59
  Speaker 2: There are three category of people in this place. Number one,
• 2:24:03
  those who have never been saved on regenerate. They have
• 2:24:07
  not met Jesus. They've been at crusades, they've been at churches,
• 2:24:11
  they have Christian names borne from Christian families, related to
• 2:24:15
  men and women of God, but they have never made
• 2:24:18
  this decision for Jesus. Number Two, there are believers who
• 2:24:22
  are barely saved and have remained without an intention to
• 2:24:26
  grow using the parameters that have given you. They are
• 2:24:31
  just out of that list that I gave you for
• 2:24:33
  a spiritual man. It is only one over five.
• 2:24:35
  Speaker 1: They have.
• 2:24:36
  Speaker 2: Their only justification is that they are saved, but they
• 2:24:41
  have not submitted. They have not encountered the person of
• 2:24:45
  the Holy Spirit, nor are they interested. They have not
• 2:24:49
  encountered the logos of God, the thoughts of God, and
• 2:24:53
  they are not willing to submit to the spirit of God.
• 2:24:56
  They are not willing to submit to transformation by the
• 2:24:59
  Word of God. And then we have this third category.
• 2:25:04
  And there is no graduation in this third category. You
• 2:25:08
  never get to a point where you say, I am
• 2:25:10
  don't becoming a spiritual man. No, it is a BAM
• 2:25:13
  measured upon a BAM measured by the time you cover grounds.
• 2:25:17
  In spirituality, God opens up another layer and you see
• 2:25:21
  that there is still.
• 2:25:21
  Speaker 1: More of his nature that needs to be formed.
• 2:25:24
  Speaker 2: There is still more of his wisdom that needs to
• 2:25:27
  manifest through you. There is still more of his power
• 2:25:30
  that needs to be revealed. By the time you cover
• 2:25:32
  grounds after ten years, he commends you, and then he
• 2:25:36
  gives you a greater charge to become like Him in
• 2:25:39
  a greater way. Let me tell you the truth, for anyone,
• 2:25:43
  including you, including me, who will contend by the spirit,
• 2:25:47
  that from today I will see to it that I
• 2:25:50
  would take advantage of the life of God that I
• 2:25:52
  already have, and allow the Spirit of God, the world
• 2:25:56
  of God, through all the activities of prayer, fasting the word, study,
• 2:26:01
  engaging in mentorship, that I will allow by the Spirit
• 2:26:06
  the full formation of the nature of God in my life,
• 2:26:10
  that love Nature reflected in the fruit of the Spirit.
• 2:26:15
  Speaker 1: And then the wisdom of God.
• 2:26:17
  Speaker 2: The mind of Christ is superior transformed mentality, a god
• 2:26:22
  like mentality producing godlike dimensions of results.
• 2:26:27
  Speaker 1: And then for the power of.
• 2:26:29
  Speaker 2: God, that for as long as I'm a life through
• 2:26:32
  my words, through my hands, many will see Christ at work,
• 2:26:38
  a display of His power, dom founding principalities and powers.
• 2:26:43
  That under my watch there will be no untimely death
• 2:26:47
  in my family. Again, that under my watch it will
• 2:26:50
  never be that people are desirous of a job or
• 2:26:53
  whatever to do. No, you come there as the manifestation
• 2:26:57
  of the Christ. You don't just say things you cannot defend.
• 2:27:02
  You can gather your family and tell them I've found
• 2:27:05
  a way this family can become a great reflection of Christ,
• 2:27:09
  and they say, how you will tell them? Number one,
• 2:27:11
  the nature of Christ can superimpose all these demonic manifestation,
• 2:27:17
  these habits.
• 2:27:17
  Speaker 1: And challenges that misrepresent Christ.
• 2:27:20
  Speaker 2: Number two, by transformation, the mind of Christ can find
• 2:27:25
  the expression in and through our lives, communicating the wisdom
• 2:27:29
  of God, commanding Mighty walks through it. And number three,
• 2:27:33
  by the supernatural and gracing of the spirit, I can
• 2:27:37
  get to a point where I attain on to power,
• 2:27:40
  genuine spiritual power. I believe in the power of God,
• 2:27:50
  but I believe that in order of priority, the nature
• 2:27:54
  of God is greater than his power. It is true,
• 2:27:59
  if you are answered to choose between the power of
• 2:28:01
  God and the nature of God, it is wise to
• 2:28:05
  choose the nature of God, because.
• 2:28:07
  Speaker 1: It is impossible to truly have the nature of God
• 2:28:10
  and not eventually manifest His power. Are we together?
• 2:28:16
  Speaker 2: So if you've had it the other way around, Unfortunately,
• 2:28:20
  you see all these three dimensions. We have communicated part
• 2:28:25
  of them, and we call our communications of part of
• 2:28:29
  them denominations.
• 2:28:31
  Speaker 1: They only represent our emphasis.
• 2:28:33
  Speaker 2: So there are those who come around the nature of
• 2:28:37
  Christ and that becomes their definition. With all due respect
• 2:28:42
  of the fullness of Christ, that is inaccurate. There are
• 2:28:46
  those who don't care about the.
• 2:28:47
  Speaker 1: Nature of Christ.
• 2:28:48
  Speaker 2: They are especially the teaching ministry, the wisdom of Christ.
• 2:28:53
  And you find people manifesting dimensions of wisdom without the
• 2:28:57
  corresponding character. And then we have another group that all
• 2:29:03
  there is is power and the charismatic gifts of the Spirit.
• 2:29:07
  It doesn't matter whether you are a criminal, it doesn't
• 2:29:10
  matter whether you are a devil. Once the gifts of
• 2:29:12
  the Spirit can flow. That's not the way it's supposed
• 2:29:15
  to be. This is the correct arrangement. The nature of
• 2:29:19
  the Christ, the mind, the wisdom of the Christ, the
• 2:29:24
  power of the Christ, the works of Christ. This is
• 2:29:29
  what represents the fullness of God's nature. And this is
• 2:29:32
  what Paul was telling the church in Ephisos, that it
• 2:29:35
  is to this end that God went through all that
• 2:29:38
  labor to give on to some apostles and prophets and
• 2:29:44
  evangelists and teach us away together and past us. Why
• 2:29:49
  to be able to help the body of Christ manifest
• 2:29:53
  in its fullness the nature of Christ, manifest the wisdom
• 2:29:58
  of Christ, and manifest the power of Christ.
• 2:30:01
  Speaker 1: And let me tell you honestly, before we round up.
• 2:30:04
  Speaker 2: You will seldom be giving an assignment to complete or
• 2:30:08
  manifest all these three by yourself. No, usually there are
• 2:30:13
  portions of these dimensions given to us.
• 2:30:17
  Speaker 1: The whole job is.
• 2:30:18
  Speaker 2: Supposed to be done by a corporate body, not only
• 2:30:22
  one person.
• 2:30:24
  Speaker 1: So if you have a rich understanding of the nature
• 2:30:27
  of Christ and you stop there, you will rob.
• 2:30:29
  Speaker 2: People from manifesting the wisdom of Christ and doing the
• 2:30:34
  works of Christ.
• 2:30:37
  Speaker 1: You see that.
• 2:30:38
  Speaker 2: That is the reason why it is a dangerous thing
• 2:30:42
  when the body of Christ fights itself. This is what
• 2:30:44
  we're fighting. The believer who only manifests the nature of
• 2:30:50
  Christ will never manifest the fullness of Christ. The believer
• 2:30:54
  who manifest only the wisdom of Christ will draw people
• 2:30:58
  to him. But lack of the nature of Christ will
• 2:31:02
  even bring a bigger betrayal to the name of Christ.
• 2:31:05
  Because you will be like that tree. You attract people
• 2:31:08
  by your wisdom, but when they come, because you say,
• 2:31:11
  proximity reveals the moment you come close, you will see ah, no, now,
• 2:31:16
  not again.
• 2:31:18
  Speaker 1: And if all you have is the power of.
• 2:31:20
  Speaker 2: God, the greatest misrepresentation of the Christ will come from
• 2:31:25
  manifesting his power without his wisdom and without his nature,
• 2:31:30
  that is dangerous.
• 2:31:31
  Speaker 1: Because of this tree.
• 2:31:32
  Speaker 2: The one that has the most attraction is the power dimension.
• 2:31:37
  Speaker 1: So it will bring multitudes.
• 2:31:40
  Speaker 2: And you find out you are bankrupt of wisdom, but
• 2:31:43
  sadly bankrupt of His nature. So in mentoring believers, you
• 2:31:48
  don't start with power. You don't start with wisdom. Discipleship
• 2:31:52
  one O one, the labor of building the character of
• 2:31:56
  Christ in people, then the wisdom of Christ Christ, then
• 2:32:01
  the power of Christ.
• 2:32:03
  Speaker 1: You have raised a mighty army for Jesus. Are you
• 2:32:06
  ready to pray? Lets rise upon your feet. Thank you.
• 2:32:28
  We're going to pray as we wrap up that. Even
• 2:32:32
  for people who God.
• 2:32:33
  Speaker 2: Has helped to be spiritual, there are various dimensions of
• 2:32:38
  these formations of Christ in us. There are people the
• 2:32:42
  richest dimension of the formation of Christ in you is
• 2:32:45
  his wisdom, not his character. There are those the richest
• 2:32:49
  formation of the Christ in you. It's not like the
• 2:32:51
  nature is not there, but it's not rich enough to
• 2:32:54
  bring glory to Christ. God is calling us tonight to
• 2:32:58
  adjust these various for the one who has the power
• 2:33:02
  of God more than character, more than wisdom.
• 2:33:06
  Speaker 1: God is calling you to step up this too.
• 2:33:08
  Speaker 2: Don't just perform miracles, don't just prophesigh there is room
• 2:33:12
  to know the world of God and have an understanding
• 2:33:15
  of scripture. You're antidoe to error, but more importantly the
• 2:33:19
  nature of Christ. That the closer people come to you,
• 2:33:23
  they will truly see that you're a representation of Christ.
• 2:33:26
  Imagine you having a rich manifestation of His nature and character, inexperience,
• 2:33:32
  having sound wisdom, understanding the ways of God, that the
• 2:33:37
  moment you open your mouth is wisdom that is communicated,
• 2:33:41
  and then having the faculty to defend the things that
• 2:33:44
  you propose through wisdom, that you have power. You are
• 2:33:47
  not deficient of spiritual power. That's going to be your prayer.
• 2:33:51
  Please open your mouth and pray. You know what area
• 2:33:54
  is deficient in your life. Take the next few minutes
• 2:33:57
  to cry before God Lord and praying work upon my character.
• 2:34:03
  Let the nation see you when they see me. Someone
• 2:34:06
  is praying online. Make sure you are praying. I desire
• 2:34:10
  a richer manifestation of the nature of Christ. The attributes
• 2:34:15
  of the flesh that misrepresent God in my life. Someone
• 2:34:18
  is praying that they die and give room for the
• 2:34:23
  Christ to be seen. Pray for those who have done
• 2:34:30
  a good job allowing the fruit of the spirit manifest.
• 2:34:35
  The fruits of the spirit is important, but you need
• 2:34:38
  in addition.
• 2:34:38
  Speaker 1: To eat wisdom. Many people lack wisdom.
• 2:34:42
  Speaker 2: They are born again, they are sincere Christians, but they
• 2:34:45
  are poor, they are broke. They cannot build any organization,
• 2:34:50
  they cannot build any ministry, they can't build anything. They
• 2:34:54
  can't build their children. The problem is not lack of character.
• 2:34:58
  The problem is lack of wisdom. Any time you do
• 2:35:01
  not have the power to build anything that lasts is
• 2:35:04
  a wisdom problem. Go ahead and pray. And there are
• 2:35:10
  those who have wisdom. When you listen to them, they
• 2:35:14
  say a lot of intelligent things, but there's no demonstration
• 2:35:19
  of the spirit. We can talk about healing, but then
• 2:35:25
  the sick can never heal. Talk about liberty, we can
• 2:35:29
  teach intelligently about liberty, but the performance dimension of God
• 2:35:34
  is not there in their life. Please go ahead and pray.
• 2:35:39
  Oh Salvation has come, salvag.
• 2:36:00
  Speaker 12: O redemn shust, come, oh.
• 2:36:11
  Speaker 1: Re damn shun hust.
• 2:36:13
  Speaker 12: Come, Oh.
• 2:36:20
  Speaker 1: Freeddom hust, come, Oh.
• 2:36:29
  Speaker 5: Free of us.
• 2:36:32
  Speaker 1: Come, I.
• 2:36:38
  Speaker 14: Ebendisa abodysa, I abendies a my heal uscome.
• 2:36:56
  Speaker 2: Delieve runs has come are you prayed ten more seconds? Father,
• 2:37:13
  your nature, the character of the Christ. Pray against everything
• 2:37:20
  you know, anger, lost, jealousy, bitterness, rage.
• 2:37:28
  Speaker 1: Don't keep quiet. Everything that fights the nature of Christ
• 2:37:33
  should be your project in this prayer. Let it die,
• 2:37:37
  Let it die, Let it die the name of Jesus,
• 2:37:42
  that when men see me, the first thing they see
• 2:37:46
  is the nature and the character of Christ. Love, kindness, joy.
• 2:38:02
  Now pray for wisdom. That's the reason you are not
• 2:38:07
  able to build anything, not your finances, not your business,
• 2:38:12
  not your ministry. Every time you cannot build, it's a
• 2:38:17
  wisdom problem. It may not be a character problem, a
• 2:38:21
  wisdom problem. It is by wisdom. A house is built.
• 2:38:25
  It is by wisdom, and destiny is built. It's by wisdom,
• 2:38:29
  and ministry is built. Every time you do not build
• 2:38:33
  to excel, you do not build to last. The wisdom
• 2:38:37
  of Christ is deficient in you.
• 2:38:43
  Speaker 2: Some money spraying paratos kaddish la parus allelujah, Please go
• 2:39:00
  and listen to this station again. That the signatural attestations
• 2:39:07
  to your being a spiritual a man is that you
• 2:39:10
  must reflect Christ in his fullness, and that in reflecting
• 2:39:15
  Christ to his fullness, there are three compartments his nature,
• 2:39:20
  his character, the fruit of the spirit, the recreated human
• 2:39:26
  spirit who is yielded to the Holy Spirit who produce
• 2:39:29
  these fruits. And then his wisdom, the empowerment to build
• 2:39:35
  anything that brings glory to Christ, sponsored by wisdom, the
• 2:39:40
  quality of your decisions, the superiority of your understanding, the
• 2:39:45
  dexterity of your thinking wisdom. And then the power of God,
• 2:39:50
  the ability to demonstrate Christ here and now, to bring
• 2:39:54
  heavenly reality to be made manifest supernaturally. So it is
• 2:40:00
  impossible to work these three things and not truly reflect Christ.
• 2:40:08
  The fullness of Christ is not a mystery. It is
• 2:40:11
  the nature of Christ at working you, plus the wisdom
• 2:40:17
  of the Christ, the mind of Christ richly formed in
• 2:40:21
  you in ever increasing measure, plus the power of God
• 2:40:26
  finding expression. So the next time you go to the
• 2:40:30
  place of prayer and you say, Lord, I want to
• 2:40:33
  become like you, you are now not praying a big prayer.
• 2:40:36
  Speaker 1: You know what you are praying, a greater.
• 2:40:38
  Speaker 2: Formation of your nature, a greater importation of your wisdom,
• 2:40:43
  a greater manifestation of your power. You see, you are
• 2:40:48
  now praying profitably. When you open your Bible and you
• 2:40:51
  are studying. This is still what you are becoming. The
• 2:40:54
  next time you say I want to become like Christ,
• 2:40:57
  you can help correct someone's on thee so that that
• 2:41:01
  becoming like Christ does not become abstract to the average believer.
• 2:41:05
  When they say I want to become like Christ, they
• 2:41:08
  don't even have your picture. I have given definition to
• 2:41:13
  that abstract concept. It is the nature of the Christ,
• 2:41:18
  the mind, the wisdom of the Christ, and the power
• 2:41:21
  of the Christ enabling you to do the works of Christ.
• 2:41:25
  This is what is captured in the fullness of Christ.
• 2:41:29
  For every conference you will attend, for every church service,
• 2:41:34
  for every message you will listen to, for every prayer program,
• 2:41:38
  every fasting program, every word study program, every book you
• 2:41:42
  will buy and read, I want you to interpret everything
• 2:41:46
  from the lens of this journey. This is your journey
• 2:41:49
  with the Spirit. This is your journey with God. Lift
• 2:41:51
  your hands, Father, I pray for your people in the
• 2:41:56
  name that is above all names, the grace to allow
• 2:42:00
  that life of Christ that they received at the point
• 2:42:04
  of salvation, the grace to allow this find expression and praying.
• 2:42:09
  Speaker 1: May that grace rest upon you.
• 2:42:13
  Speaker 2: Number two, for those who have manifested the nature of
• 2:42:18
  Christ in such a rich way, but you've not been
• 2:42:20
  able to build anything in your life, the matters that
• 2:42:24
  make for life. You are defeated there, completely defeated in
• 2:42:28
  your finances.
• 2:42:29
  Speaker 1: Defeated in leadership.
• 2:42:31
  Speaker 2: You've not been able to raise anybody or do anything
• 2:42:34
  great for the kingdom. And praying for you as you
• 2:42:37
  begin to journey through the world, May authentic wisdom be
• 2:42:40
  impattered upon you. Number three, I'm praying for those who
• 2:42:47
  are getting frustrated by saying.
• 2:42:50
  Speaker 1: The many things God can do as.
• 2:42:52
  Speaker 2: Revealed by wisdom, but not able to demonstrate it here
• 2:42:56
  and now in your life, not the life of those.
• 2:42:59
  Speaker 1: Who trust you.
• 2:43:00
  Speaker 2: I'm praying for you this missing power component that will
• 2:43:04
  help you do the works of Christ.
• 2:43:06
  Speaker 1: Let it rest upon you now in the name of Jesus.
• 2:43:12
  For everyone.
• 2:43:15
  Speaker 2: Who is struggling with the flesh, attributes of the flesh, anger, jealousy, competition,
• 2:43:25
  all the things that keep misrepresenting your knowing God, I'm
• 2:43:29
  praying for you the spirit that is behind that programming.
• 2:43:33
  Speaker 1: I cost it right now, I cast it right.
• 2:43:38
  Speaker 2: Now in the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus,
• 2:43:45
  in the name of Jesus. Finally, I pray for you
• 2:43:49
  the next time someone is looking to see who God is,
• 2:43:53
  may God send you to them as a representation of
• 2:43:57
  the image of the Christ.
• 2:43:59
  Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus Christ.
• 2:44:04
  Speaker 2: Thank you Father, Thank you Father. Please, I want to
• 2:44:08
  encourage you go back home. Take this as an instruction.
• 2:44:13
  Listen to this message again. Don't assume you understood everything
• 2:44:17
  I said. Stay with the spirit of grace, absorb it
• 2:44:21
  into your spirit. And you find someone who is confused
• 2:44:25
  about your spiritual journey, you don't have the time to
• 2:44:27
  explain all this. Just give the person this message and say,
• 2:44:30
  listen to this message the spiritual man, be patient and
• 2:44:34
  follow through the thoughts, and then you will see that indeed,
• 2:44:38
  becoming like Christ is not abstract.
• 2:44:40
  Speaker 1: There is a.
• 2:44:41
  Speaker 2: Guided pathway that can help men become like Christ. You
• 2:44:45
  are here and you need Jesus Christ. Please allow me
• 2:44:48
  make the altar call while we're still standing. Remember I
• 2:44:51
  told you the first transition from a natural man to
• 2:44:56
  a believer. In fact, before we even talk about a
• 2:44:59
  spiritual man, is you encounter with Christ. Do not allow
• 2:45:03
  this meeting end without your making this decision. And for
• 2:45:08
  the sake of one or two persons that whilst you
• 2:45:10
  were listening to me, you said, Apostle. In truth, I
• 2:45:14
  have not made this decision or you are saying I
• 2:45:16
  want to re dedicate my life.
• 2:45:18
  Speaker 1: I'm going to count one to five, and I'll need
• 2:45:20
  you to be fast on this because of our time.
• 2:45:23
  Speaker 2: Pick your bibles, your bags, everything you brought to church.
• 2:45:27
  Please be on your way as I begin to count.
• 2:45:29
  Come right in front of me. By now you should
• 2:45:32
  know that you don't need cajolie. We're talking Jesus here
• 2:45:35
  and your destiny.
• 2:45:36
  Speaker 1: I begin my accounting now. One. Let's appreciate them as
• 2:45:39
  they come. God bless you, your bags, your bible, please
• 2:45:43
  stand for sake of s face. God bless you stand
• 2:45:45
  co and on you're less. Celebrate them as they come.
• 2:45:50
  I will go back. Can't go back to the way
• 2:45:55
  it used to be before your presence came and change me.
• 2:46:03
  Speaker 12: I don't go back, can't go back to you the
• 2:46:08
  way it is to be before your present came.
• 2:46:14
  Speaker 1: Keep coming one more time. I don't go back, can
• 2:46:20
  go back. If you're joining them, please come quickly. I'm
• 2:46:32

  want you to make that prayer to knowing that this

  your word. I declare that I love you with all
• 2:47:15
  my heart. I believe that you are the son of God.
• 2:47:21
  I believe that you died for my sin. I believe
• 2:47:27
  that you rose again for my justification. Right now I
• 2:47:32
  receive Jesus into my heart as my savior, my Lord,
• 2:47:39
  and my King. I declare that from today I'm a
• 2:47:44

• 2:47:59
  you will in no wise cast away.

  Speaker 1: Lord. We honor you for this.
• 2:48:03
  Speaker 2: Many who have come to you, and I pray that,

  of Jesus, they are bona fide recipients of your life
• 2:48:14
  and power to live the victorious Christian life, knowing Jesus,
• 2:48:19
  loving Jesus, and living for Him.
• 2:48:21
  Speaker 1: All the days of their lives.
• 2:48:23
  Speaker 2: I declare that the power of sin, satan, hell, and
• 2:48:26
  the grave is broken over your life. From tonight you

• 2:48:43
  with you very briefly, and then all of you will
• 2:48:46
  be back to your sins. Let's honor them. Coin Onia,
• 2:48:53
  Is that the best you can do? Allelujah prays the
• 2:49:03
  name of the Lord. Okay, just one quick announcement. Next
• 2:49:06
  week we're going to be waiting upon the Lord will
• 2:49:09
  be fasting, so please make sure you plan this. The
• 2:49:12
  prayer focus will be sent by Saturday night and then
• 2:49:16
  we'll all be fasting. As always. Children can fast if
• 2:49:21
  they can stretch.
• 2:49:22
  Speaker 1: Why not. If they are tired, they can stop by
• 2:49:24
  twelve or one.
• 2:49:26
  Speaker 2: Get them something to eat. Allelujah, and everyone should participate.
• 2:49:34
  Please make sure that it's part of the discipline that
• 2:49:36
  built you. We don't fast carelessly. We fast with understanding.
• 2:49:40
  The reason why it is sent in the night is
• 2:49:43
  so that you can use your nighttime to start praying.
• 2:49:47
  You may not have all that time to pray during
• 2:49:49
  the day on Sunday. Maximize the nighttime as soon as
• 2:49:52
  we work with the media to make sure at least
• 2:49:54
  by maybe six or seven pm Saturday, the prayer focus
• 2:49:59
  is there.
• 2:50:00
  Speaker 1: And you receive it wrong with it?
• 2:50:02
  Speaker 2: Pray it into your heart so that you become a
• 2:50:04
  manifestation of that with God desires. Have you been blessed tonight?
• 2:50:08
  I declare your week is blessed. Shout I believe in Amen.
• 2:50:13

  In the name of Jesus Christ. Everything that is not
• 2:50:39
  of God in your life, I drive it far from you.
• 2:50:42
  I place a mark of grace and honor upon your life.
