Scriptural Strategies for Challenging Times by Apostle Joshua Selman · Selah Media House

0:00
Blessed be the name of the Lord. Wave your hands to Jesus, Give
0:03
him praise, give him glory, the merciful God, King of kings.
0:11
Can you lift your hands above your head and just acknowledge
0:14
the merciful Father? The Bible says to come boldly
0:18
before the throne of grace. Lord, we thank you, Thank you.
0:23
Thank you for your grace, for your mercy, for your love, for
0:27
your kindness. Your mercies endure forever.
0:31
We give you all the praise. Let everything that has breath
0:34
praise the Lord. Glory, Glory to your name,
0:39
Glory, glory to your name, the giver of life, the helper of
0:43
men, the lifter of men. We bless you, We bless you.
0:48
One generation will declare your name to another.
0:52
Lord, we acknowledge you from New York to the ends of the
0:56
earth. Let Jesus be glorified.
1:37
You're the father of mercy. I come to you.
1:58
One more time with your hands lifted.
1:59
To the heavens, you're the father of mercy.
2:11
I come to you. Would you lift your hands?
2:43
To heaven and ask him for an encounter.
2:46
An encounter connected across the globe, Abuja Zarya and all
2:54
our expressions across the globe.
2:57
Lift your hands and ask him for an encounter.
3:00
The Bible says. For without faith it is
3:03
impossible to please him. For he that cometh unto God must
3:07
come believing that he exists and then that he's a rewarder of
3:12
them that diligently seek him. We lift up our expectations
3:17
before you, the God of all grace, that you will visit us
3:20
tonight. Increase us in wisdom, increase
3:24
us in power. To you be all the glory in Jesus
3:30
name. We pray Hallelujah New York, and
3:35
we give the globe a big God bless.
3:38
You, we're serving the grace of God from New York to the ends of
3:44
the earth. Welcome our family in Abuja.
3:47
Welcome our family in Zarya. Welcome our family in the UK, in
3:52
Canada, Africa, and around the world.
3:57
Glory be to Jesus. Let me request that you turn to
4:01
two or three people as far as your eyes can see.
4:04
Give them a big hug. Greet them.
4:05
Tell them it's good to be in the House of God.
4:10
Make sure you're speaking, not just hogging, not just shaking.
4:14
It's good to be in the House of God, the psalmist said.
4:17
I was glad when they said unto me, let us go to the House of
4:22
the Lord. Now you give Jesus a big, big
4:29
hand clap and a shout of praise. Hallelujah, Hallelujah, blessed
4:39
be the name of the Lord. This is Koinonia.
4:44
You may please be seated. God bless you.
4:48
Thank you, God bless you, I love you too.
4:51
Hallelujah. On behalf of Jesus himself, the
4:54
apostle of our faith, I welcome everyone here and all who are
4:59
connected across the globe, all our expressions.
5:02
This is Koinonia and I assure you, in the name of Jesus, that
5:07
you will be mightily blessed and imparted in Jesus name,
5:12
Hallelujah. Praise the name of our God.
5:17
I feel we should give the Lord one big shout and a clap of
5:21
praise for Thursday and Friday. Come on now.
5:26
Grateful people, thankful people, partake us of His mercy,
5:31
partake us of His grace. It was the sound of revival.
5:36
US 2025, my goodness, the hand of God in an extraordinary way.
5:47
Hallelujah. Thank you Jesus, please be
5:51
seated. Amen.
5:56
The House of God is a place of wisdom.
6:01
The House of God is a city of refuge.
6:07
In Psalm 21 and 2, the psalmist who say, may the Lord hear you
6:12
in the day of trouble. Then he says, may the God of
6:15
Jacob defend you. He says, send you help from Zion
6:22
and strengthen you. Send you help from his sanctuary
6:26
and to strengthen you out of his Zion.
6:29
So the House of God is a place where the weary can come and
6:34
they can find strength. The House of God is a place
6:40
where the weak can come and they can be empowered.
6:43
Are we together? Yes.
6:46
The House of God is Bethel, the place of bread.
6:50
The Bible says in Matthew 4 and verse four, man shall not leave
6:55
by bread alone, but by every word.
6:58
The preceding word comes when you come into the House of God.
7:03
The House of God is a place of understanding.
7:06
He says when I came into the sanctuary then understood I
7:09
their end. You can have understanding in
7:13
the House of God. The House of God is a place of
7:16
empowerment where you are embraced by the Holy Ghost to do
7:21
exploits for the Kingdom. The House of God is a place of
7:25
discovery. It was when Jesus came into the
7:28
temple. The Bible says he opened the
7:30
scroll of Isaias and he found where it was written concerning
7:34
him and he said, the Spirit of the Lord is upon me because he
7:38
had anointed me to preach glad tidings.
7:41
So the meek, he had sent me to bind up the broken hearted and
7:44
so on and so forth. And he closed the book.
7:46
The Bible says their eyes fastened towards him.
7:49
And he said, today is this Scripture fulfilled in your
7:52
ears? The House of God is where you
7:55
find hope, hope for the weary. Are we together now?
8:02
The House of God is a place of love, it is true.
8:05
The House of God, in fact, is where you find life.
8:09
Psalm 133. How good and how pleasant it is
8:12
when brethren dwell together in unity.
8:14
It is like the oil that comes upon the head of Aaron, to his
8:18
bird, to his cat, his garment, the Bible says, For there the
8:23
Lord had commanded the blessing, even life everlasting.
8:29
May you find all this and more in the name of Jesus for the
8:33
weak, may you find strength. For the sick, may you find
8:38
healing. For the discouraged and
8:41
hopeless, may you find hope in the name of Jesus Christ for the
8:45
weary. May you find the living water in
8:49
the name of Jesus Christ for those who are lost.
8:52
May you find your way back home in the name of Jesus Christ,
8:58
Amen and Amen. And so my assignment, as always,
9:02
is to communicate the wisdom of God, the power of God, in a way
9:07
that strengthens believers. Let me remind you again that
9:12
Koinonia has a mission to produce a victorious believer
9:17
and that through the sound communication of doctrine, a
9:21
sound communication of the principles of the Kingdom, there
9:24
is no other way to strengthen an individual spiritually outside
9:29
of the ministry of the world. Are we together?
9:33
Acts 20 and verse 32. And now, brethren, I commend you
9:38
first to God and then to the word of His grace.
9:41
The Bible says and that it is able sustains the capacity to #1
9:46
build you. Up.
9:48
And then two, to give you an inheritance among them that are
9:53
sanctified. The assignment of the Word of
9:55
God is to damage ignorance from your life.
9:58
Because you see, provided you dwell in the realm of ignorance
10:03
or darkness as the Bible calls it, you are still within the
10:06
domain of Satan. Hallelujah.
10:11
Isaiah chapter 60 and verse one says that you arise and you
10:15
shine not because you've been there for a long time.
10:18
The only basis for your rising and shining is that your light
10:22
would have come, and then that the glory of the Lord is risen
10:25
upon you. Amplified says Arise from the
10:28
depression and the prostration that circumstances have kept you
10:32
rise to a new light. Someone is rising in the name of
10:37
Jesus, it says. But the people that sat in
10:40
darkness, they have seen a great light.
10:43
They sat in darkness, not knowing they were in darkness.
10:47
And then I will remind you again that the Word of God is beyond
10:51
intellectual communication. I've told you time and again,
10:55
and you've heard me say so maybe for the first time in New York,
10:58
that when you are under the influence of the Word of God,
11:02
number one, you must realize that there is a layer of
11:05
spiritual communication that is not intellectual.
11:09
Hallelujah. The exergence of the world is
11:12
not always intellectual. There is a dimension that is
11:15
higher than the realm of intellect.
11:17
That one is a spirit communication.
11:20
So you can receive realities deposited in your spirit man
11:24
that your mind cannot articulate.
11:26
Your mind cannot give language to.
11:28
However, with time, that reality that's been deposited in your
11:32
spirit begins to find expression and you find yourself walking in
11:36
unusual wisdom. You find yourself walking in
11:39
unusual dimensions of power, confidence.
11:42
Faith is imparted just like the wind.
11:45
The Bible says the wind blow it where it listeth.
11:47
You cannot tell when it is going or when it is coming.
11:50
So is the way of the spiritual man.
11:52
And then of course, there is a layer of the word, the teaching
11:55
of the Word that edits your understanding.
12:00
It corrects your thoughts, it corrects your perceptions, it
12:03
corrects your ideas. Even if they've been aged long.
12:07
The Bible calls them strongholds.
12:10
Are we together? Yeah.
12:11
So whilst you are under the influence of the Word of God,
12:14
there are two laws walking one, the law of sin and death.
12:18
Are we together guarded by demon spirits that keep you in a
12:22
thought pattern, that keep recycling pain, defeat, and it
12:27
stops you from being a victorious Christian even if you
12:30
are saved. I have said it, and let me
12:33
repeat myself again, that the ignorant believer will also be a
12:37
defeated believer. Even though a believer you can
12:42
be in Christ haven't acknowledged His lordship over
12:45
your life. You are a bona fide possessor of
12:48
eternal life, but you may never be able to manifest the riches
12:52
that is deposited and embedded in that life because manifesting
12:57
unveiling the riches of the God life depends on knowledge.
13:02
Jose chapter 4 and verse 6 says my people very interesting.
13:07
They are my people but they are still destroyed for the lack of
13:11
knowledge. Hallelujah. 2 Reasons why Jesus
13:15
cried in the Bible The first, the Bible says he wept when he
13:19
was at the tomb of Lazarus. The second, the Bible says he
13:23
looked over Jerusalem and he began to weep.
13:26
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, if you had known even in this day the
13:30
things that pertain to your peace, but now they are hidden
13:34
from you. He cried because he saw the
13:36
ignorance of the people, well-intentioned people, sincere
13:40
people. It takes more than sincerity to
13:44
live a victorious life. You can be as well-intentioned
13:47
as you choose to be, but if you lack the requisite knowledge and
13:51
for some of what you're not totally in ignorance, but you do
13:55
not have the knowledge requirement.
13:59
I'll always give this example back home.
14:01
If you work with a great system of A.
14:04
BCDEF. As we do academically.
14:07
You imagine a student who scores FF does not necessarily mean 0F
14:13
does not necessarily mean zero. Anything less than I think it's
14:16
40 or 39 is called F. So to the one who scores 39, he
14:21
still had an F. The one who scored 28, he still
14:24
had an F. The problem is not knowledge,
14:27
it's insufficient knowledge that he did not have the knowledge
14:32
enough to pass the mark, the bar that was set.
14:36
So the Bible says in First Corinthians 8 and verse 2, he
14:39
says if any man think that he knoweth anything, he says that
14:43
man knoweth not as he ought to know.
14:47
Let me therefore charge you tonight that whilst remaining
14:51
confident, you don't tilt to a realm of overconfidence where
14:55
perhaps you may say I already know the word, I have an
14:58
understanding of it. If it's not producing results in
15:01
your life, then it's not yet become spirit and life to you.
15:05
Because John 15 says the light shined it.
15:08
That was the true light that lighted every man.
15:11
There are false lights, they carry a semblance of liberty,
15:15
but when you stand in the face of real life situations, they
15:18
cannot deliver. If it's true light, it brings
15:22
victory always, all the time. You're ready for light.
15:25
Shout Amen, Hallelujah, praise the name of the Lord.
15:32
Now tonight's teaching is very interesting.
15:34
The Lord quickened this in my heart even before we arrived New
15:37
York. And whilst I'm speaking to the
15:39
whole globe, I would want to tailor my teaching to charge the
15:44
body of Christ in America, particularly North America.
15:48
And I'll be teaching tonight on scriptural strategies for
15:52
challenging times. Scriptural strategies for
15:56
challenging times. I consider this teaching very
15:59
important, especially in light of the times that we live in.
16:03
The Bible calls the church the pillar and the ground of truth.
16:07
And that means that when there are problems that bedevil people
16:10
in the church, extending to society, the church should be
16:14
able to answer, to respond to the needs, the hurts, the pain,
16:18
the confusion that people face across any territory if the
16:23
church fails to provide scriptural solutions that give
16:26
people. Hope.
16:27
That give them guidance, that give them direction.
16:30
Then it's failed to be the light.
16:32
Are we together? In Matthew chapter 5, reading
16:36
from verse 13 to 16, the Bible says You are the salt speaking
16:40
to the church now, the salt of the earth, the salt of New York,
16:44
the salt of America. It says, But if the salt is
16:48
lost, it's ever where, which shall it be salted?
16:51
It is tense for good, for nothing but to be cast out and
16:54
to be trodden on the foot of men. 14 Now says, You are the
16:59
light of the world. I like this, a city that is set
17:03
on a hill that cannot be healed. It says neither do men light a
17:08
candle and put it under a bushel, but on a Candlestick,
17:13
and it giveth light to all that are in the house.
17:15
Then 16 leaves us with an instruction, Let the word let
17:21
there means permit. Do not restrict, do not
17:25
restrain. Let your light so shine before
17:29
men that they might see your good deeds and glorify your
17:33
Father, which is in heaven. Hallelujah, Amen.
17:38
So scriptural strategies for challenging times.
17:43
For a text tonight we'll look at Romans chapter 8 and then verse
17:47
35 to 37. Romans chapter 8, You love the
17:52
Bible, shout Amen. Who shall separate us from the
17:59
love of Christ? It says, shall tribulation or
18:04
distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness or peril,
18:10
or the sword as it is written, for thy sake we are killed all
18:15
day long. It says.
18:17
We are counted as sheep for the slaughter.
18:19
Verse 37 it says nay in all these things we are more than
18:25
conquerors through him that loved us.
18:28
Amen to that scripture in Jesus name.
18:31
Hallelujah. Now, from a theological
18:35
standpoint, when you study the book of Ephesians, just for a
18:38
background, the book of Ephesians is considered one of
18:42
the most concise theological presentations of.
18:46
The believers walk of faith because.
18:50
You find throughout the six chapters that make the book of
18:53
Ephesians, Paul is mentoring the church in Ephesus and now he
18:58
begins he breaks his exegesis into three number one, he brings
19:04
the believer to a point where you understand your oneness with
19:09
Christ. He reveals to us from a
19:11
spiritual standpoint. Please look.
19:13
Up. I hope you know that when you
19:15
read the gospel. Without the the epistles or
19:20
without, you know, the the walks, the writings of Paul.
19:26
Yeah, you would know that Jesus died and rose again.
19:29
But it was Paul who gave us the hidden meanings.
19:33
Are we together? We did not know that we were
19:35
raised up with Christ until Paul taught us.
19:38
We knew that Jesus died, but to what intent?
19:41
There was no sound exegesis as to the spiritual implication of
19:45
His death, His burial, His resurrection, His ascension, His
19:49
glorification. It was Paul in chapter 1,
19:52
chapter 2 and into chapter 3 who began to give us a sound
19:57
exegesis as to the fact that when Jesus was raised, we were
20:01
raised with Him. Are we together that he
20:04
purchased redemption for us by the shedding of blood, the
20:07
forgiveness of our sins, etcetera?
20:09
So Paul begins the 1st 3:00 or so chapters of Ephesians.
20:14
They generally inform the believer about what they call
20:18
theologically the finished work of Christ, and then he brings us
20:22
to a consciousness of our oneness.
20:25
So the gospel teaches that Jesus died, but Paul teaches us that
20:30
we died in him. So it's not only that Jesus died
20:34
are we together, but that we died in him.
20:37
We were buried with him, we rose again, and we are seated with
20:41
Christ in heavenly places, far above Thrones, dominions,
20:44
etcetera. If you're following, say Amen.
20:48
And then Paul goes immediately to teach us what we call the
20:52
work of the believer. So he teaches us how to conduct
20:55
ourselves in a godly manner, manifesting the character of one
21:00
who is in Christ. He teaches us that there is an
21:02
implication. Even though we are not saved by
21:05
walks, we are saved on to good walks.
21:08
So he begins to talk about the conduct of one who is in Christ
21:12
ordering your conversations, and so on and so forth.
21:15
Then Paul introduces another dimension called the.
21:18
Walk. That it teaches us how to stand
21:22
against the Wiles of the enemy. Paul does not leave us in the
21:25
dark as to the fact that we are not alone upon the earth, that
21:29
there are demonic forces that are determined.
21:32
Are we together to threaten our liberty and to fight the
21:36
purposes of God as committed to us, to fight the program of God?
21:41
And He begins to give us scriptural strategies.
21:44
He calls them the whole armour of God.
21:47
He now begins to talk about the breastplate of righteousness.
21:50
Are we together now? You know the helmet of
21:53
salvation, the sword of the Spirit, the shield of faith,
21:56
wherewith you'll be able to quench all the fiery darts of
21:59
the enemy. So it's considered theologically
22:02
that studying the book of Ephesians will give the believer
22:06
a broad and wholesome picture. So it teaches you that you are
22:10
seated with Christ. It teaches you how to walk and
22:13
live victoriously, conducting yourself in a way and manner
22:17
that brings glory to the name of the Lord.
22:19
But it also teaches you that you are a warrior, and that should
22:22
the need arise, you will learn to fight the fight of faith that
22:26
produces victory. Are we learning already?
22:29
Amen. So it's not unusual for the
22:40
believer to have challenges we've been considering.
22:43
In fact, if you have been following the series, we've been
22:47
having a series of teachings that teach people how to be
22:51
strong in the midst of unfavorable situations.
22:54
Last week I taught on the way of escape and connecting to that
22:57
teaching, I want to show you another perspective.
23:00
These are survival strategies. They teach the believer how to
23:04
survive such that when the storms are down, you are still
23:08
standing. You see, believers should not
23:11
chicken out of here. Are we together?
23:13
Most people are afraid and most people fail when storms arise
23:18
because they are not taught that.
23:20
It is not only usual for believers to go through this.
23:23
And sometimes as ministers of the gospel, we make the mistake
23:27
to sell an idea. Not just an idea of victory, an
23:32
idea of a trouble free life. The Bible does not promise that,
23:35
not at all. Never will you find the Bible
23:38
promising a trouble free life. The Bible only gives us
23:41
guarantee that even if trouble arises, there is a strategy for
23:45
victory. Are we together Praise the name
23:48
of the Lord? 2 Scriptures 2nd Corinthians
23:52
chapter 4 and we'll just look at 8:00 and 9:00.
23:55
Then we'll go to John chapter 16 and verse 33.
24:00
Second Corinthians. We are troubled on every side,
24:04
yet not distressed. Who are the we believers?
24:07
They are not unbelievers. Is that it is possible to be
24:10
troubled on every side and yet in the midst of that trouble,
24:14
you're not distressed. We are perplexed, but not in
24:17
despair. Verse 9 We are persecuted but
24:21
not forsaken. We are cast down but not
24:25
destroyed. Scripture #2 John 1633 This is
24:30
Jesus speaking now in John chapter 16 and verse 33.
24:34
It said these things I have spoken to you.
24:37
Please listen America, listen Koinonia Global, listen the body
24:41
of Christ that in me ye might have.
24:46
Peace. In the world, he says, in the
24:49
world ye shall have tribulation, but be of good share.
24:54
I have overcome the world. And how many of you know that
24:59
because you overcame, we are also overcomers.
25:02
In fact, he calls us more than conquerors.
25:04
Do you believe that? Hallelujah.
25:09
So the Bible tells us it is possible to be troubled on every
25:12
side. I think it was during come up
25:15
either earlier on in the US I thought something around this
25:19
and I said that believers can be troubled on some sides.
25:22
I give you an instance. Your health can be fine, but
25:26
something may be wrong with your finances.
25:28
In this case, you are not troubled on every side.
25:30
You're troubled on some sides, but there are some sides that
25:33
are fine. But like Job, it is possible for
25:36
a man, even in Christ, to be troubled on every side.
25:42
Something is wrong with your marriage, wrong with your
25:44
children, wrong with your health, wrong with your job.
25:47
There is such a possibility as we sojourn upon the earth that
25:52
we can be troubled on every side.
25:55
But then the Bible also tells us that in all these things we read
25:58
that earlier on, we are more than conquerors.
26:01
And I want someone to shout it convincingly, say I am more than
26:05
a conqueror. You look beyond your pain, look
26:09
beyond the spirit of depression, look beyond the things, your
26:12
bills, your mortgage, your papers.
26:14
Whatever it is, shout it to your hearing and the hearing of the
26:18
devil. I am more than a conqueror.
26:22
In the name of Jesus Christ. Hallelujah.
26:25
The Bible gives the believer the assurance of victory, that in
26:31
the midst of all the turbulence and everything that can happen
26:35
to you, you are assured of victory.
26:37
I am amazed that even storms and troubles did not spare Jesus.
26:42
You would think because he came as the Son of God, God
26:45
Incarnate, He would live such a flawless and invincible life as
26:49
far as being challenged were concerned.
26:52
But one time the Bible tells us. In fact, let me even back up and
26:56
tell you how many of you know that the birth of Jesus itself
26:59
was chaotic. His childhood was chaotic.
27:02
You talk about trauma, remember? Jesus, How do you grow up not
27:07
having age mates because they were all killed from two years
27:11
and below. Are we together?
27:20
So Jesus grew up in a chaotic environment.
27:22
I'm not sure if I were the Father I would design that kind
27:26
of template for the arrival of Jesus.
27:28
But unfortunately. This.
27:29
Is what happens in the world of men.
27:31
As soon as he was born the Bible says Herod picked the signal.
27:34
He called the Magi and said please go and investigate.
27:38
When you find where that king is born, let me know so I'll also
27:41
come and worship. He intended to kill Jesus and
27:45
the Angel had to appear to tell Joseph, take this child and go
27:49
and hide the child. Imagine telling Jesus that story
27:52
at age 5 or 6 or 10, that did you know you were you escaped
27:55
death at the edge of a knife. And this was supposed to be a
27:58
savior. We are troubled on every side.
28:05
And then you would think that we're fine.
28:07
By age 12, he went to the temple.
28:09
And now he had a problem with his parents disturbing
28:12
childhood. They meet him one time and said,
28:14
Jesus, where have you been? And he said, do you not know,
28:17
have you not read that I should be about my father's business?
28:21
And then from a theological standpoint, for 18 years we do
28:25
not hear about Jesus again from age 12.
28:28
The next time we hear about Jesus is 30.
28:31
Years he shows up at John's crusade.
28:34
John is baptizing and looking for the Christ.
28:38
And John looks at him and says, behold, the Lamb of God who
28:41
takes away the sins of the world.
28:43
He comes to John to be baptized. And John says, no, no, no, no, I
28:47
cannot baptize you. I've seen you in the Spirit.
28:49
I know that you're not an ordinary man.
28:51
And he said Sophie to be so that Scripture might be fulfilled.
28:55
Are we together? Yeah.
28:57
So Jesus begins his ministry right from that crusade ground.
29:01
Watch this right from Jordan. The Bible tells us the Holy
29:05
Spirit, not a demon spirit, drove him was not a suggestion.
29:09
He compelled Jesus to the wilderness.
29:12
Did you know why? To be tempted of the devil.
29:15
It's written in your Bible that he drove Jesus and he went to
29:23
the wilderness and then he was now being tempted of the devil.
29:26
Can you imagine that? He prays 40 days and 40 nights
29:30
and guess who shows up after the prayer?
29:34
Not angels, Satan. And he says, OK, Matthew chapter
29:37
4 I I understand that anyone who's been fasting like this
29:41
should be hungry. So can you turn these stones to
29:44
bread? You have the power.
29:47
Jesus replies by saying man shall not live by bread alone,
29:50
but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Father.
29:54
Then the Bible says he takes him up the temple, that the pinnacle
30:00
of the temple, and he says, can you fall down?
30:02
Because it is written He shall keep his angels charge over you.
30:06
They will watch you day and night so that you will not dash
30:09
your feet against the stone. Then the Bible says he now took
30:12
him to an exceeding high mountain, showed him the glories
30:15
of the world in a moment, a passage of time, and says, if
30:18
you bow to me, I will give this to you because it's been
30:21
delivered to me. And then when he's done, he
30:25
rebukes Satan. He says, get thee, you are, and
30:28
so on and so forth. And then the angels now come to
30:30
minister. You would think they came too
30:31
late if there were angels there. Why didn't they stop him from
30:39
that conversation? Whether it was physical, whether
30:42
it was mental, what were they doing?
30:44
The Bible says as soon as Satan left, the angels came and they
30:47
ministered to him. And then one of the synoptic
30:49
accounts will say he now returned in the.
30:52
Power. Of the Spirit in the power of
30:56
the Spirit. Meaning that if Jesus succumbed
31:01
to all of those temptations, you would not even have a ministry
31:04
begin in the 1st place. Is someone learning now?
31:08
And then all through that ministry I am amazed that the
31:11
Bible says He returned in the power of the Spirit.
31:14
I thought that would mean peace, no battles, excellence.
31:18
And all through, from that time until the cross, they gave Him
31:21
no rest. The scribes and the Pharisees
31:23
had their trouble. Are we together if you so
31:26
dislike Him and leave Him to do His crusades alone?
31:29
But they would come to the crusade ground, watch the
31:31
miracles, and trouble Him again. We are troubled on every side.
31:37
Isn't it amazing that there are people who would never let your
31:40
success be? They will be there.
31:42
They will put an eye on everything that's happening to
31:44
you. And yet they will commend so
31:46
negatively. And sometimes you are tempted to
31:48
say, all right, leave me alone. If you don't believe me, go
31:50
away. But you, you will always find
31:52
them. Hallelujah.
31:59
We are troubled on every side. How about Paul?
32:04
I don't know any man who was flogged as many times.
32:08
I mean, how can a man full of the Holy Ghost raising the dead?
32:11
Paul was flogged once and again and whilst in prison you would
32:18
think Paul would be concerned about his condition.
32:21
He was writing letters in prison.
32:23
OK, I hear you're all misbehaving.
32:25
I'm in the prison now, but shortly I'll be coming out.
32:27
If I come out, I'm coming there. I have a lot of things to fix.
32:31
What a man. Now you see when you read the
32:35
Bible, because of the presence of the Holy Spirit and the
32:38
dominion power of the Word, sometimes you can program
32:42
yourself to not see that they were challenges.
32:46
Jesus was not without challenges.
32:48
Are we together? America, listen to me.
32:50
Jesus as the Son of God was not without challenges.
32:54
The patriarchs were not without challenges.
32:56
The disciples who later became apostles were not without
32:59
challenges. The early church were not
33:02
without challenges. Now when you read Bible history,
33:06
you take a moment and read Bible history.
33:09
Read how all of the apostles of the Lamb died.
33:13
As far as we know, only just one of them.
33:16
I was told John, who died a natural death.
33:20
I mean, some of them went to all kinds of things Bible history
33:23
will teach us. So it is not unusual for
33:27
believers to be challenged. Let me go ahead of myself to
33:31
teach you something. Fight your battles with honor.
33:35
Don't chicken out. Don't be ashamed, are we
33:38
together? If it's a family battle, don't
33:41
be ashamed of it. Let the naysayers keep talking
33:44
while you fight the fight of faith.
33:47
If it's your health, fight it with honor.
33:50
Are we together? If it's about your prodigal
33:53
child, fight it with honor. Your fight will mean
33:56
interceding. Your fight will mean bending
33:58
over backwards. You know sometimes and and we
34:02
need to be very careful because sometimes we have this God like
34:06
expectation over believers, over one another.
34:09
And when people pass through battles and storms, we make them
34:12
feel guilty in the presence of the storms as though it were an
34:16
unbelief problem. Sometimes it is not a sin
34:20
problem. Sometimes it is not an unbelief
34:23
problem. In fact, sometimes the storm
34:26
arise because you are moving. I told you this during Sound of
34:29
Revival, there are certain storms that have no business
34:34
arising in your life if you're not doing anything spiritually.
34:38
There are certain storms that arise because your impact is is
34:42
sending a signal in the spirit and the devil is so threatened.
34:48
It is true, is it not? In your Bible John Synoptic
34:52
account there was a man who was born blind and the disciples
34:56
were perplexed and they came to Jesus one time.
34:59
They said who sinned that this man was born blind himself of
35:03
his father. Jesus said neither this is not a
35:06
sin problem but that the glory of the Lord be revealed.
35:09
How about the man at Get Beautiful?
35:12
The Bible says he was lame from his birth.
35:15
Do you blame a child who was lame from his birth?
35:19
Are we together So not all challenges are as a result of
35:23
sin. Not all challenges are as a
35:25
result of unbelief. Now truly there are times that
35:28
sin can give way. Remember when he rebuked 1.
35:31
He said go and sin no more. So there are people who are
35:35
trapped by their predicaments are a direct effect of sin,
35:40
others unbelief or that spiritual laxity, for instance,
35:44
prayerlessness, for instance, wordlessness, for instance, not
35:48
loving the House of God, not growing in grace.
35:51
All of these things have negative consequences.
35:54
But there are times that everything can just be fine, but
35:57
all hell breaks out and maybe someone is in that condition
36:02
right now. You, you have such sincerely and
36:05
there's nothing you, there are no loopholes.
36:08
You are aware of Your prayer life is intact.
36:11
I always say it this way when there is a conflict between your
36:15
integrity and your results, when your prayer life is intact, your
36:19
word study life is intact. Your love for Jesus is intact.
36:23
And yet it looks like there are battles.
36:25
Fight it with honor. Fight it with honor.
36:28
Are we together? Someone say I will fight.
36:31
It's a fight of faith. So say it.
36:33
Say I will fight. Yes, Sir, and I will fight.
36:37
Fight for my child, fight for my spouse, fight for my job, fight
36:42
for the prophecy over my head. Fight to see that the ministry
36:45
serves the grace of God. I will fight.
36:48
I will fight. May not be my 'cause I will
36:50
fight. I met a 'cause that came from my
36:53
grandfather, but I will fight. I will fight till it ends with
36:56
me. I will fight till it ends with
36:58
my children. I will fight till it ends with.
37:01
Me is someone learning. I will fight it a fight of
37:03
faith. I hear that there is a pattern
37:06
of for timely death. But now that I've showed up, I
37:09
will fight. It's a fight of faith in the
37:12
name of Jesus. I hear that no one has served
37:15
the Lord across my lineage. I will fight.
37:18
It's a fight of faith. I hear that those who come from
37:21
my place never rise. They never become global.
37:24
But I will fight. I will fight with the sword of
37:27
the Spirit. I will fight in prayer.
37:29
I will fight as I fast. I will call believers who
37:32
believe in me. I don't need anybody, everybody.
37:35
I just need a few. People who believe and I will
37:38
fight. I hear marriages don't work, but
37:45
I will fight. Yes Sir, yes Sir, yes Sir.
37:50
I hear people worship idols and worship the devil, but I will
37:53
fight. I may be the first.
37:55
But I will fight. I may be the only but I will
37:58
fight. Someone shouts say I will fight.
38:01
The devil did not hear you say I will fight.
38:06
I hear the only way to survive, based on the 'cause that is
38:09
across my lineage, is that you live as a beggar.
38:12
You have to serve others to fight.
38:14
But I will fight, I will fight. I hear there is a 'cause that
38:22
all my children will be autistic.
38:24
But I will fight. Someone shout, I will fight
38:28
again. Say I will fight.
38:30
Let this be a prophetic word for you.
38:32
Say I will fight. Let this world be a weapon in
38:35
your hand. I will fight as I praise.
38:37
I will fight as I cry. I will fight as I fast in the
38:42
name of Jesus. I will turn the plates upside
38:45
down and fast till there is a breakthrough.
38:48
I will turn the plates upside down and fight until there is a
38:51
change. For the Bible says, surely there
38:54
is an end. Surely there is an end.
38:58
Say again, I will fight. Please be seated.
39:06
I will fight. Laugh at me while I fight.
39:09
I will still fight. Write books about me while I
39:12
fight. I will still fight.
39:14
Mock me while I fight. I will still.
39:16
Fight. Misunderstand me.
39:18
While I fight, I will still fight.
39:20
I don't have time explaining my destiny.
39:22
I will fight. When I win, I will explain.
39:25
When I win, I will explain. I'm not going to waste my time
39:29
trying to correct a narrative. I don't have that time.
39:32
I'm too busy making destiny walk.
39:34
I will fight. I will fight.
39:43
I will fight. Let me hear a proud father say I
39:46
will fight. A proud mother say I will fight.
39:50
A proud businessman say I will fight.
39:52
Let me hear an apostle say I will fight.
39:55
Let me hear America say I will fight.
39:57
Koinonia Global say I will fight.
40:00
Right from the days of John de Baptist and until now, is it
40:05
still in your Bible that the Kingdom suffered violence?
40:09
And only, only, only, only. Not the organized, not the
40:13
calculated, only the violent. Hallelujah.
40:25
Our dear sister gave us a testimony.
40:27
How do you have two children? Because there was a spirit
40:31
fighting Esther, fighting Deborah.
40:34
I told you, listen. Listen, when Satan attacks you,
40:37
do not think he's fighting you. Because of you, you are too
40:42
small a program for Satan to coordinate the asenals of hell.
40:46
He's fighting all those connected to Your Grace.
40:49
He's fighting. When he fights Elizabeth, it is
40:52
John the Baptist is looking for. When he fights Hannah, it is
40:56
Samuel he's looking for. Satan fights men because of the
41:02
prophecies on them, fights men because of the destinies
41:06
connected to them. Are we together?
41:11
It's true, this is not entertainment.
41:14
I'm teaching you how the realm of the Spirit walks.
41:17
If he finds your finances, it's not because of your finances.
41:20
What does he need it for? No, he's fighting because he
41:24
knows that that finance will send your child to a godly
41:28
school. He will find his calling there.
41:31
He will become a mighty servant of God.
41:33
Satan fights with vision. He fights with foresight.
41:37
That's why the Bible says weapons are fashion.
41:40
He uses prophecy to fashion weapons.
41:46
Be seated. I'm angry in my spirit.
41:48
Let me prophecy over someone in the name of Jesus.
41:51
The days of shame and fear over your battles.
41:55
Don't keep running away from Goliath.
41:57
You are emboldening Goliath to mock the God of the armies.
42:01
I want to listen to me. Have the courage to stand,
42:05
fight. Bring Goliath down.
42:07
Someone shout. I will fight.
42:15
Hallelujah, Apostle, can I fight alone?
42:20
Ask David. Apostle, can I fight alone?
42:26
Ask Daniel, can I fight alone? Ask Esther, Can I fight alone?
42:34
It says by you, I can run through a troop and by my God I
42:39
can leap over a wall. Come on, pray in the spirit for
42:46
one minute. Oh, I obtain grace.
42:48
I sense the spirit of faith on someone.
42:51
No more fear. I will fight.
42:56
My property is about to be foreclosed, but I will fight.
42:59
I will fight. I was diagnosed of cancer, but I
43:02
will fight. It's a fight of faith.
43:05
It's a fight of faith over my child.
43:08
I will fight over my job. I will fight over the dreams.
43:13
I will fight Abuja. Are you praying?
43:16
Sorry, are you praying? Piononia Global, are you
43:19
praying? We're in a season where the body
43:21
of Christ is under attack in the name of Jesus.
43:25
Where your armor. You are a warrior.
43:28
You are not just light. You are not just soul.
43:30
You are a warrior. Obtain grace to fight.
43:55
Yahweh, father of mercy, I come to you.
44:04
Yahweh, this is someone who is overwhelmed but still fighting.
44:12
See, Yahweh, you're the father of mercy.
44:19
I come to you. Father of Mercy, I call to see
44:30
ya way. You're the father of Mercy I
44:37
call to you. Ya way.
44:43
Father of Mercy, I call to you. Hallelujah.
44:58
Please sit if you can sit. If you don't get anything I said
45:04
tonight, leave with one word. Fight.
45:08
Leave with one word. Tweet that word again and
45:12
retweet it in your mind, not on social media.
45:15
They don't need it there. Let it become a stronghold.
45:19
When you see mountains challenges, don't run.
45:23
Fight. Fight until the book is written.
45:28
Fight until the company is registered.
45:30
Wear it the devil till you win. There's something I know about
45:35
Satan. He can be tired.
45:36
I assure you. You can weary him by faith,
45:40
Weary him in prayer. Are we together?
45:43
The church is not growing. Hold the hands of your wife, the
45:46
only trusted member, and pray, fight, fight.
45:51
Some is many a day that rise up against me, many a day that say,
45:56
Where is your help? It says, But thou, O Lord, you
46:00
are a shield for me. You are my glory, You are my
46:04
glory and the lifter of my you are.
46:13
The Father of mercy, I come to you.
46:20
Oh, oh, Father of Mercy, I come to you.
46:27
Sing it, Father of mercy, I can't see you.
46:37
Please be seated. Let me teach you something for
46:39
someone. I am, by this teaching,
46:43
sharpening your arrows. I'm telling you, your quiver
46:49
will be full of these arrows. You will step out of this place
46:54
and where you would have run, you will stand and say no more.
46:57
I came for Sound of Revival and I came for Colonia.
47:00
No more. No, I am a priest.
47:03
My grandfather ran away, The problem still remains.
47:06
My grandmother ran away. The problem still remains.
47:10
Now I will stand for the sake of my children, I will stand for
47:15
the sake of those coming after me, and I will fight till I
47:19
wait. I just sense in my spirit.
47:21
That's the word for the season. Fight.
47:23
I tell you, fight, fight, cry, but fight.
47:29
Fall, but fight. There's no destiny for a lazy
47:37
person who is ashamed, overly conscious of your reputation.
47:41
What will people say? They will say even if you don't
47:44
do anything. So you can as well fight while
47:47
they say don't lose on 2 grounds.
47:50
They talk about Jesus, they talk about Satan.
47:53
Either ways they will talk about you.
47:55
So while they talk, fight. Please sit down, Sit down.
48:18
Can I tell you this? Behind every glory you see,
48:22
there is a story. I can keep you all day telling
48:27
you The battles that were fought to be here make no mistakes
48:31
about it. Sometimes the palace can take
48:34
away the wounds and you'll be mistaken to think there are no
48:39
scars. You know why scars remain.
48:42
It reminds you that you fought. When you get to heaven today,
48:52
one of the ways you will know Jesus is not just by the royal
48:56
crown. There is only one man who has
48:58
his scar on his hand. It's a testament of fighting for
49:03
the victory of mankind. Don't be ashamed of your wounds.
49:07
Don't be ashamed of your scars. Fight.
49:11
Can I tell you the scars that look like a basis for shame
49:15
today will be the reason why you will be honored tomorrow.
49:23
There are certain seats. When you get to the table of
49:27
greatness. It is only for those who have
49:29
scars. If you are too innocent, you
49:32
will stay outside. Listen to my message.
49:36
Lessons from an overcomer. The Bible says to him that
49:40
overcomes, he will be given a crown and a whitestone To him
49:46
that overcomes. To the mother that overcomes.
49:50
To the father that overcomes. To the single mom that
49:55
overcomes, To the preacher that overcomes.
49:59
You have a strategy to compromise and find it easy, but
50:03
you decided to stand alone. To the politician that
50:06
overcomes. To the intercessor that
50:09
overcomes. Now let me show you some
50:14
strategies. Please sit.
50:17
I intended for my message to be as simple as possible tonight.
50:20
I hope it still is. Strategies for challenging
50:28
times. If you don't have any battle
50:32
before you now, don't be flattered.
50:34
Life is still joking with you. Keep rising, keep shining, keep
50:39
growing, keep living long. Can I tell you, don't claim long
50:43
life if you don't know how to fight.
50:48
Don't desire longevity if you don't know how to fight.
50:57
I'll give you 4 keys if you're ready.
50:59
Shout, I'm ready. Number one, the first scriptural
51:04
strategy for surviving challenging times.
51:08
Are you ready when challenges mount up before you, it doesn't
51:12
matter whether it comes as confrontations from systems,
51:17
from structures, from demons, from men, your health doesn't
51:22
matter. First key, be strong in the
51:25
Lord. Be strong in the Lord.
51:28
Write that down. Ephesians chapter 6 understand.
51:32
I wish that we read this from amplified.
51:35
Otherwise that's fine. We work with KJV.
51:37
Be strong in the Lord. The Bible says.
51:40
In conclusion, be strong in the Lord.
51:44
Watch this. Be empowered through your union
51:47
with Him. It says, draw your strength from
51:51
Him. That strength, which is
51:53
boundless, might provides Be strong, be strong, be strong, be
52:01
strong in the Lord in the name of Jesus.
52:04
When challenges stand before you, you must learn to draw
52:08
strength. The word be strong means draw
52:10
strength. That immediately suggests that
52:13
if you do not have a functional relationship with the Holy Ghost
52:17
because he's the spirit of power.
52:19
Are we together? The Bible says if you turn aside
52:22
in the day of battle, talk to me believers.
52:24
It is because your strength is How do you grow strength in the
52:30
Spirit? By pressing to have a functional
52:33
knowledge of God. Daniel 1132 The B part says, but
52:38
the people that do know, that means no, indeed not a
52:42
theoretical knowledge, not a religious knowledge.
52:46
Are we together not an intellectual knowledge.
52:48
The people that do know their God, the Bible says if the gift,
52:53
the reward they receive for pressing to know God is that
52:58
they will be. Strong.
53:02
As mysterious as God is, ladies and gentlemen, I want you to
53:06
know that God can be known. He wants to be known.
53:09
John 17 and verse 3. This is life eternal, that they
53:13
may know thee. The only true God are we
53:16
together and Jesus, whom thou has sent.
53:19
God can be known. You may want to listen to my
53:22
message. Let me refer you to it.
53:24
The knowledge of the holy, Write that down please.
53:27
The knowledge of the holy. Go to Colonial Global YouTube
53:30
and listen to it, particularly if you're a man of God.
53:33
These are some of the asenals you will need in this end times.
53:37
God can be known. Hallelujah.
53:40
God can be known. Yes Sir, you can know Him.
53:43
The Bible says the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
53:46
and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
53:49
You can know God from a theological standpoint.
53:52
There are three ways to know God #1 you know God by learning His
53:57
character. The Lord is gracious and
54:00
compassionate. The Bible says He's slow to
54:03
anger. He's rich in love.
54:05
In my opinion. The richest capture of the
54:08
character of God has revealed in the Bible is found in Psalm
54:11
1O31-O3. You may want to read from start
54:15
to finish. It provides in my study of
54:19
Scripture and I've studied the Bible a bit.
54:22
When you study the Bible, there is no other portion of Scripture
54:25
I am aware of that has the richest compendium, the richest
54:30
capture of God's character on display in one chapter of the
54:35
Bible, Psalm one O 3. Are we together?
54:38
So we know God by learning His character #2 we know God by
54:44
learning His ways, His principles, His modus operandi.
54:48
You can study the ways of God to know God #3 We know God by
54:56
studying His power. You can study the dynamics of
55:01
His power. Ephesians chapter 1 from verse
55:03
19. Paul began to pray from verse 16
55:06
that the eyes of our understanding, the enlightened
55:09
flooded with light, amplified, says that we may know the hope
55:13
of his calling, and so on and so forth.
55:15
Then when we get to verse 19, he prays Ephesians 119 that we may
55:19
know the exceeding greatness of His power to us.
55:23
What who believe the exceeding greatness of His power?
55:29
Something happens to you when you know how powerful God is.
55:33
I have spoken once and twice. Have we heard that power belongs
55:38
to God? When you come into an
55:40
experiential understanding of how powerful God is, it plans
55:46
faith. Bible faith is derived from your
55:49
encounter. Is someone learning that by you?
55:54
I can run through a troop, and by my God I can leap over a
55:57
wall. Psalm 66 verse three, say unto
56:00
God, how terrible are thou in thy walks?
56:03
He says it is true the greatness of your power, that your enemies
56:07
will submit themselves to you is someone learning is a God of
56:17
power. He is, he is.
56:22
Miriam wrote a song attesting to his power, and she said, I will
56:26
sing unto the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously.
56:30
He said the horses and its rider have been thrown into the sea.
56:35
The God of power, the God of grace.
56:39
So when you know God by learning his character, it can empower
56:44
you to judge prophecies. Someone can speak to you and you
56:48
know that this prophetic word is inconsistent.
56:51
You come to me and say I will die tomorrow.
56:53
I will ask you, is there hope? If you say no, I'll say God
56:56
bless you. Get out of my way.
56:58
There's something about the character of God that fights
57:01
that prophecy, because I know from his character that the Lord
57:04
is gracious and compassionate #2 that to him that is joined to
57:08
the living, there is still hope. It's impossible to receive a
57:11
word and a verdict. Even if you are Hezekiah, there
57:15
is still hope. We're together so the knowledge
57:19
of God's character can help you to judge prophecy.
57:22
It's true, the knowledge of His ways.
57:26
Moses cried and said show me your ways.
57:29
Then he said, show me your glory.
57:31
His glory is trapped in His ways.
57:33
It's called the ancient part. Jeremiah 616 That you stand in
57:37
the way, and that ancient part we're together, and that you ask
57:42
for it. When you find it, you walk in
57:45
that path and you will find rest.
57:47
You will come into your Sabbath in experience.
57:51
You can know God by studying the mysteries of the Kingdom.
57:55
Matthew 1311 It has been given unto you to know the mysteries
58:00
of the Kingdom of heaven. Hallelujah, He showed his ways
58:05
to Moses, the Bible says, but to the nation of Israel, they saw
58:08
his act. If we're still together, say
58:10
Amen. Hallelujah.
58:13
So you draw. I'm giving you the first key
58:16
scriptural strategies for challenging times #1 be strong
58:22
in the Lord. And that strength comes as a
58:26
direct product of a functional relationship with Jesus Christ,
58:31
a functional relationship with the Holy Spirit.
58:34
Recall I told you that there are four major encounters that a
58:37
believer must have. Remember Sound of revival #1 an
58:42
encounter with Jesus, the Son of the living God #2 an encounter
58:46
with the Person and the ministry of the Holy Spirit.
58:49
You need both. It's important.
58:52
The Holy Spirit is called a paraclet from the Greek word
58:54
paracletus alos paracletus, another one who is sent, or a
59:00
similar one to stand. The word alos means of a similar
59:04
content, of a similar material, an extension of the same.
59:09
So he's a paraclet of the Father.
59:10
He's the strengthener, He is the standby, he's the comforter.
59:15
Are we together? He's the teacher, He's the
59:17
guide. He comes to the believer.
59:19
He is God's gift to the believer.
59:22
The Holy Spirit is what the Bible calls the blessing.
59:25
The blessing is not just cars and houses.
59:27
No, the blessing of Abraham talks of justification by faith.
59:31
Then it gives you access to the promise of the Spirit.
59:35
And that's what the Bible calls the blessing, the blessing, the
59:40
blessing. The Holy Spirit can strengthen
59:44
immortal man. To manifest God like
59:48
possibilities. You must learn to draw your
59:50
strength from him. The Bible says he that is joined
59:53
to Christ is 1 spirit. Look up please.
59:57
You want to build a functional relationship with Jesus.
1:00:02
I give you 3 keys. Still on .1 but I'm digressing
1:00:06
to add flesh to your understanding.
1:00:08
Number one, you must develop a systemic prayer life.
1:00:12
A systemic, consistent prayer life to the one who desires A
1:00:17
functional relationship with God.
1:00:19
Prayer cannot be circumstantial. Prayer cannot be conditional.
1:00:23
If your prayer life is epileptic, soul will go your
1:00:26
destiny. You're up today, you're down
1:00:29
tomorrow. Are we together?
1:00:31
You must commit yourself to a systemic prayer life.
1:00:36
In the Bible they called a certain hour the hour of prayer.
1:00:40
You must through discipline. There is no gift of prayer.
1:00:43
It's a product of discipline. Are we together now?
1:00:46
Yes, there is a spirit of prayer.
1:00:49
Are we together? But you must take advantage of
1:00:51
that enabling grace and submit yourself to prayer.
1:00:56
Chapter 6 and verse 4. But we will give ourselves
1:00:59
continually to prayer and to the ministry of the world.
1:01:03
Notice the order to prayer first, then the ministry of the
1:01:07
world. Hallelujah.
1:01:11
You'll never enjoy a rich relationship with the Holy Ghost
1:01:14
if you're not given to prayer. You must invest time, America.
1:01:19
Give God time, believers, give God time.
1:01:23
Now, I appreciate the fact that we live in a world and an
1:01:26
economic context where you have to make ends meet.
1:01:29
I understand I'm not insensitive to your needs.
1:01:32
Well, let me charge you. I'm speaking from America to the
1:01:35
nations of the earth. God is calling believers to give
1:01:38
Him time. Give him time.
1:01:42
There are many things we seek that can only be found in His
1:01:45
presence because a man can receive nothing truly accept and
1:01:49
unless it is given to him from above.
1:01:51
Is that true? The blessings that come from 1
1:01:56
encounter in the place of prayer can redefine your next decade,
1:02:00
can redefine the next 20 years of your life.
1:02:02
It is true Hallelujah. You can draw favor from the
1:02:07
place of prayer. You can draw wisdom from the
1:02:09
place of prayer, and that will already rewrite the narrative of
1:02:13
your destiny. Prayer is not a burden.
1:02:15
And when I talk of prayer, I'm not talking of the religiosity
1:02:18
of prayer. The scribes and the Pharisees
1:02:20
were prayerful, but their prayer did not produce power because
1:02:24
behind their prayer life was a desire to show people they were
1:02:27
spiritual. No, I'm not talking of this this
1:02:31
falsehood around the prayer ministry.
1:02:33
I'm talking of a don't get determination to build a
1:02:37
functional relationship that is provable, provable, provable.
1:02:44
Now you can say you know me, but it's up to me to reply back and
1:02:48
say it's true. I know you.
1:02:50
Am I right on that? So many people can say, I know
1:02:52
God, but it's one thing for God to say, I know you too, I know
1:02:56
you. There is a Koinonia that
1:02:58
happens. A participation is sharing
1:03:01
together. We're not strangers to one
1:03:03
another. Is someone learning?
1:03:11
You want to be strong in the Lord.
1:03:13
You must be given to the ministry of prayer #2 you want
1:03:17
to be strong in the Lord. You must submit to the truths of
1:03:23
Scripture. You must submit to the truths of
1:03:26
scripture. Don't just open up your Bible
1:03:29
and read it religiously. Believe the things that are
1:03:31
written there. Hallelujah, praise the name of
1:03:34
the Lord. Now you must grow in the
1:03:45
knowledge of God. If you don't submit to growing
1:03:48
in the knowledge of God through a consistent systemic study of
1:03:53
scripture, you cannot be strong in the Lord.
1:03:56
But the people that do know their God, they shall be.
1:03:59
Strong. Someone say I receive strength,
1:04:03
say I will be strong, I will be strong in the midst of storms, I
1:04:10
will be strong. Hallelujah.
1:04:14
So the second strategy very quickly so that we can pray.
1:04:18
I hope you are learning so far. The second strategy, Are you
1:04:22
ready? Walk and leave by the principles
1:04:27
of the Word of God. Walk and leave by the principles
1:04:33
of the Word of God. Walk and leave by the principles
1:04:37
of the Word of God. In other words, leave by the
1:04:40
Word. Don't just hear the Word.
1:04:42
Don't just study the Word literally.
1:04:45
Let the Word of God be the governing principle around your
1:04:49
life. Walk and leave by the principles
1:04:52
of the Word of God. Matthew chapter 4 and verse 4.
1:04:56
Jesus is speaking His response to Satan.
1:04:59
Man shall not live by bread alone.
1:05:03
You know what bread means in this context.
1:05:05
It means that which is of earthly origin.
1:05:08
Man shall not live by skill alone.
1:05:11
Man shall not live by your certificate alone.
1:05:14
Man shall not live by your human efforts alone, but by every word
1:05:18
that proceeded out of the mouth of God.
1:05:22
I'll show you another scripture very quickly.
1:05:24
Psalm 89 give us from verse 34 and verse 35, Psalm 8934 and 39.
1:05:35
Dave soon will sing the song Spirit lead me.
1:05:39
So just prepare. I just sense in my heart that
1:05:41
you just sing that song once, twice, and then it.
1:05:46
Will be a word of encouragement for someone.
1:05:49
My covenant believe us, are we still together?
1:05:52
My covenant will I not break. This is God speaking, nor alter
1:05:58
the thing that is gone out of my lips. 35 It says, once have I
1:06:05
sworn in my holiness that I will not lie unto Joshua Selman.
1:06:10
That means if He told you He will lift you, He will lift you.
1:06:13
If he told you you will come out, then you will come out.
1:06:16
Now it's up to you to believe I have taught you that when God
1:06:20
says it, it doesn't automatically mean it will come
1:06:22
to pass. He will not force His word on
1:06:25
you, else you will become a demon.
1:06:27
He gave you the power to choose setting before you life and
1:06:30
death, blessing and cursing. You are going to have to work in
1:06:34
partnership with Him. You know what Amen means.
1:06:37
Amen should not originally really.
1:06:39
Amen should not just be something you chant in church.
1:06:42
Amen is actually a lifestyle of alignment to the speakings of
1:06:46
God. So you can verbalize Amen and
1:06:49
not manifest Amen. Amen is beyond saying it.
1:06:53
Amen is a capture of your willingness to align with the
1:06:57
speakings of God. So an individual may not
1:07:00
verbalize Amen, yet in his life it is Amen.
1:07:04
Are we together now and someone can shout Amen?
1:07:08
But walk in perpetual dis alignment.
1:07:12
So next time you say Amen, know that you're verbalizing.
1:07:15
It is just one part. You have to be determined to
1:07:18
take advantage of His grace to be on the Lord's side.
1:07:21
I preach a message like that and it's worth listening to if you
1:07:24
care who is on the Lord's side. It's a powerful message you want
1:07:28
to listen to. Are we together, my covenant?
1:07:34
Will I not break nor alter the thing that is gone forth from my
1:07:37
mouth? Ladies and gentlemen, there are
1:07:40
a plethora of promises, a plethora of promises that have
1:07:45
been proposed by God to the believer.
1:07:47
You'll find that in Second Peter chapter 1, particularly verse.
1:07:50
4. Verse 3 says grace and peace be
1:07:52
multiplied onto you are we together through the knowledge
1:07:56
of Jesus, you know and and all of that and then verse 3 says
1:07:59
according as his power as his divine power have given us all
1:08:03
things that pertain unto life and godliness, but that this
1:08:08
comes through the knowledge of him that has called us into
1:08:10
glory and virtue. If you care shout verse four
1:08:13
with me ready 1 to go whereby I given unto us exceeding great
1:08:20
and precious that by these promises we might be partakers
1:08:26
of his divine nature haven't escaped the corruption that is
1:08:30
in the wall through lust are we Bible students you see that so
1:08:36
the Bible says we have been given exceeding great and
1:08:40
precious promises again that's the name of one someone you want
1:08:44
to listen to to exceeding great and precious promises.
1:08:49
It's important for you to know what God has said about you and
1:08:53
in case you've forgotten. Let me remind you for a moment.
1:08:55
He said you are the head and not the.
1:08:57
Tail. The question is, do you believe
1:08:59
it? He says you are above only,
1:09:02
only, only, and never beneath. He said 1000 shall fall by your
1:09:06
side, and 10,000 shall fall by your right side, but none shall
1:09:10
hurt you. With your eyes shall you see,
1:09:12
and the reward of the wicked. It is true, He said, the works
1:09:17
of your hands are blessed. Did he not say you will be
1:09:19
exalted above all the nations of the earth, and that this
1:09:23
blessing will come upon you and overtake you?
1:09:25
He said he will lose the loins of kings for your sake, that
1:09:29
they would desire to eat your flesh.
1:09:31
They will stumble and they will fall.
1:09:33
It's written in the Bible. They are called exceeding great
1:09:36
and precious promises. Did he not say, the fullness of
1:09:39
your days you will fulfill. Am I right on that, that they
1:09:43
that be planted in the House of God, they will flourish in the
1:09:47
courts of our God, that even in old age they will be fat and
1:09:51
they will be flourishing. My Bible says the path of the
1:09:54
just sorry to correct you, the path of Joshua Selman is as a
1:09:59
shining light and that shine it brighter and brighter more and
1:10:03
more onto the perfect day. That's what the Bible says.
1:10:08
It is true. It is true.
1:10:12
The Bible says I will be called Beulah and Hebzibah.
1:10:16
Is that true that the nations will call you blessed?
1:10:19
Say I'm blessed, don't mind the devil say I'm blessed.
1:10:24
Don't mind social media, say I'm blessed, it's true.
1:10:29
That's what he said. He said, Do my beginning be
1:10:33
small, that my latter end shall greatly increase.
1:10:38
Is it not written in your Bible that the Lord will increase you
1:10:41
more and more? You and your children, you and
1:10:44
your children? Come on now, you and your
1:10:46
children. He told Abraham that through you
1:10:50
in you shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
1:10:54
I was not there, but thanks to Paul, he said in Galatians 320.
1:10:58
9 If ye be Christ, then are ye Abraham's seed and heirs
1:11:03
according to the promise. And so that's why I come in like
1:11:07
Abraham, I can shout. The world will be blessed from
1:11:10
me. I'm not a curse.
1:11:11
I'm not a liability to my generation.
1:11:14
I am a blessing. Say I'm a blessing.
1:11:17
You already said you are blessed.
1:11:18
Now say I am a blessing. Convincingly say I am a
1:11:21
blessing. Hallelujah.
1:11:27
Exceeding great and precious promises.
1:11:29
Now let me tell you, ladies and gentlemen, please sit for a
1:11:32
moment. Sit for a moment.
1:11:34
Do you know what it means to walk by faith?
1:11:37
To walk by faith does not just mean to walk by confessing
1:11:40
scripture. It means to be committed to
1:11:44
literally run your life using this software, this fuel called
1:11:50
the Word of God. Like a car depends on gas.
1:11:55
Are we together? There's no car that does not
1:12:01
depend on anything. If it's not gas, it's
1:12:04
electricity. You recharge it, am I right?
1:12:07
Yes, every car depends on something to energize it, to
1:12:10
power, to run. So to live by faith does not
1:12:15
just mean to confess the Word of God.
1:12:17
That's wonderful, but it means number one, that you must have a
1:12:19
determination in your heart that the Word of God will be exalted
1:12:23
above feelings, above thoughts, that it must become absolute.
1:12:27
Listen, the Word of God must gain supremacy above every other
1:12:31
thought, above every other opinion.
1:12:34
That means it does not matter what I feel, whatever the Word
1:12:37
of God says, I run my life by that software.
1:12:42
Are we together? Because you see.
1:12:45
The power of God only please listen.
1:12:49
The power of God is managed by the will of God, so that you
1:12:54
don't make the power of God do just anything you wanted to do.
1:12:57
The power of God is not a spiritual mechanism for
1:13:00
fulfilling any losts. No, the power of God only goes
1:13:04
the direction of the will of God.
1:13:07
So there are many people who believe they are walking by
1:13:09
faith. The object of their expectation
1:13:12
is already outside of the will of God, so it doesn't matter
1:13:15
what confession they make, it will not come to pass because it
1:13:18
is inconsistent with the will of God.
1:13:21
Bible faith begins when the will of God is known.
1:13:29
And there are two ways, in fact three ways to know the will of
1:13:33
God #1 Scripture, the Word of God has written.
1:13:38
It's a compendium of the will of God #2 the unique ministry of
1:13:42
the Holy Spirit to you as a revealer of the mind of God #3
1:13:47
the prophetic. These are the three channels
1:13:49
based on Scripture for discerning and accessing the
1:13:53
will of God. I repeat again for your learning
1:13:55
#1 the written word of God is the 1st and principal basis for
1:14:02
extracting the will of God as far as your life is concerned #2
1:14:06
the unique ministry of the Holy Spirit as the revealer of the
1:14:11
will of God. The Bible says in Second
1:14:13
Corinthians from verse 8 you read downward.
1:14:16
It says the Holy Spirit can search the mind of the Father
1:14:19
and to reveal to us the things that are freely given and then
1:14:22
the ministry of the prophetic Hallelujah, America, colonial
1:14:30
global body of Christ, lived by the word of God, by the message
1:14:34
of God. I can tell you the reason why
1:14:36
we're able to do this much for the Kingdom.
1:14:39
It is because we carried our free lives, incapacitated by
1:14:44
every definition, and we handed that life and covered it with
1:14:48
the word of God. And look what is made out of us.
1:14:51
It pays to submit to the word of God.
1:14:54
Little you plus the word of God is called a giant.
1:14:59
Frail you plus the word of God will be called a giant.
1:15:04
Hallelujah. Not that we are sufficient in
1:15:07
ourselves, the Bible says, but that our sufficiency is of God
1:15:11
who has made us abled ministers. When you find ordinary people
1:15:15
doing much for the Kingdom, you know, I was meditating really
1:15:20
just this morning and I was just overwhelmed by the goodness of
1:15:23
God over my life. And then I had a little clip,
1:15:27
the picture of what happened here in this auditorium, and I
1:15:30
was just reminiscing. I've seen many of these things.
1:15:33
And you think that after seeing stadiums and seeing auditoriums
1:15:38
parked, I would get so familiar. I was just overwhelmed by the
1:15:41
goodness and the kindness of God.
1:15:43
And you know what happened? I remember the game, those days
1:15:48
in my vision, little me not known me.
1:15:53
Are we together? And yet He proposed to me that
1:15:56
if I believed Him, He would take me to the nations to serve His
1:15:59
grace. God for you.
1:16:04
Hallelujah is someone learning. Never conclude on a man who
1:16:13
respects the word of God. You are making a mistake when
1:16:17
you find a my God. I don't care how frail, I don't
1:16:21
care how weak, I don't care how failed that man is.
1:16:26
Provided you decide to exalt the word of God above and beyond
1:16:30
anything you can start and you can emerge in the name of Jesus.
1:16:36
So in addition to being strong, you must make a commitment.
1:16:40
Ladies and gentlemen, hear me. Life begins when you respect the
1:16:44
word of God. Hallelujah.
1:16:48
And let me tell you how to walk it.
1:16:50
I'll tell you how to live by the Word of God.
1:16:52
Number one, run your life by scriptures.
1:16:55
Before you execute any goal, any desire, any whatever, find
1:17:00
scriptures that support what you are doing and then investigate
1:17:05
whether or not your goals are consistent with the will of God.
1:17:10
Because you see, the Bible is a prophetic book.
1:17:13
You can make it speak any language you want it to speak.
1:17:16
You can manipulate the Bible to respond to your loss.
1:17:20
So it's not enough that you find a scripture, you must
1:17:23
investigate using these three channels, Scripture itself, the
1:17:27
ministry of the Holy Ghost, and of course, the ministry of the
1:17:30
prophetic, verify whether what you are embarking on is the will
1:17:34
of God. I'll give you an example.
1:17:36
Talk to me, believers, How many of you believe it is God's will
1:17:42
to establish you? How many of you believe you will
1:17:45
be a better Christian if you own your home?
1:17:48
How many of you believe that if God empowers you, He'll give you
1:17:51
room to serve His purposes? How many of you believe
1:17:54
fruitfulness is the will of God? How many of you believe length
1:17:57
of days is the will of God? How many of you believe a
1:18:00
responsible, prosperous, godly home according to Psalm 112 is
1:18:05
the will of God? How many of you believe healing
1:18:08
and health is the will of God? How many of you believe that the
1:18:11
territorial influence of the church is the will of God?
1:18:15
How many of you believe that salvation is the will of God?
1:18:18
How many of you believe that attaining unto spiritual
1:18:21
maturity for the believer is the will of God?
1:18:24
How many of you believe America for Jesus is the will of God,
1:18:28
Nigeria for Jesus is the will of God, Ghana for Jesus the will of
1:18:32
God Jamaica for. Jesus, the will of God, China
1:18:36
for Jesus, the will of God, Iraq for Jesus, the will of God.
1:18:44
I ran for Jesus the will of God. Until the knowledge of the glory
1:18:48
of the Lord covers the whole earth as waters the sea.
1:18:52
Now listen. I'm teaching you how to live by
1:18:54
the Word of God. You don't cook up opinions that
1:18:59
come from your lost and then just sandwich it to the Word of
1:19:03
God and try to manipulate the hand of God to bring it to pass.
1:19:07
The believer does not live that way.
1:19:09
It's important you are aware of the promises of God.
1:19:12
That's where your confidence comes from when you know you are
1:19:15
in the will of God. Here's how the Bible puts it.
1:19:18
And this is the confidence that we have that if we ask anything
1:19:22
that is in accordance to his will.
1:19:25
Man of God, is it the will of God for you to use your church
1:19:28
as a soul winning platform? I answer you, without
1:19:31
prophesying, yes, yes, yes. So if you are not aware of the
1:19:41
will of God, you cannot live by the word of God.
1:19:44
Hallelujah. Most times people resort to the
1:19:46
Word of God as a last and final opinion after exhausting their
1:19:51
intellect, exhausting all kinds of options forever.
1:19:55
Oh Lord, the Bible says your word is settled in heaven.
1:19:58
Are we together? Heaven and earth will pass away.
1:20:01
But it says not one jot of His word will fail.
1:20:04
The word of God is believable. You can trust the word of God.
1:20:07
You can run your life by the word of God.
1:20:12
Let the Word of God be the constitution that governs your
1:20:15
life. Let it be your modus operandi.
1:20:18
Are we together? That any other way and any other
1:20:21
path that is outside of or inconsistent with the Word of
1:20:25
God, you must be determined to shelve it away peacefully and
1:20:28
live by the Word. Now I tell you this for a while
1:20:31
the Word of God may not seem to produce.
1:20:33
Be patient, but it will certainly produce.
1:20:37
The Bible says he shall be like a tree that is planted by the
1:20:41
Riverside, which yield its food in season, may not be every day,
1:20:46
but it will yield its fruit in season, whose leaf does not
1:20:49
weather. And whatsoever he doeth
1:20:52
prospers. If you're learning, say Amen.
1:20:55
Scriptural strategies for challenging times so America,
1:20:59
Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, Zambia, everywhere across the
1:21:03
globe, Europe, China, the caribbeans Listening to me, I'm
1:21:07
encouraging you that when you face challenging times #1 be
1:21:11
strong in the Lord draw your strength from the richness of
1:21:15
your union with the Holy Spirit through prayer are we together
1:21:19
and then be determined to live by the.
1:21:23
Word. Let your speakings be consistent
1:21:26
with scripture. Don't speak like a non believer.
1:21:30
Are we together? It doesn't mean to not face
1:21:32
reality, are we together, but to learn to superimpose.
1:21:36
Remember, I've taught you that the words that you speak, the
1:21:40
Bible says in John 663, the words that I speak unto you,
1:21:44
they are Spirit. You know what that means?
1:21:47
The word spirit there is the word Numa.
1:21:50
It doesn't just mean a spooky, it means energy, that it
1:21:54
produces energy. There is a frequency.
1:21:57
Really, this is not some Scientology, it's the truth.
1:22:00
The word of God carries energy, creative power.
1:22:05
The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit and they are
1:22:09
life, spirit and life. He's a talking spirit.
1:22:14
Unlike him, you must also be a spirit that speaks.
1:22:18
God is not a noise making spirit.
1:22:20
What is a talking spirit? He speaks life.
1:22:23
Rambling around does not make you a talking spirit.
1:22:26
You'll be a talkative, yes, but not a talking spirit.
1:22:29
A talking spirit is one who does not waste words.
1:22:32
He uses words to create and recreate possibilities.
1:22:36
You wake up in the morning. Here's what you say, teaching
1:22:38
you how to live by the word of God.
1:22:40
This is the day that the Lord has made.
1:22:42
I rejoice and I'm glad in it. And while you are at that, some
1:22:46
nasty e-mail comes in the name of Jesus.
1:22:48
I do not look at the things that are seen, but the things that
1:22:51
are unseen. For the things that are seen are
1:22:54
temporal, but the things that are unseen are permanent.
1:22:57
On your way out, the devil uses someone to say some nasty thing
1:23:01
in the name of Jesus. I choose to be peaceful.
1:23:05
I reject offense. I am a child of God.
1:23:08
I purify my heart and my conscience.
1:23:10
The joy of the Lord is my strength always.
1:23:13
Who is learning? Hallelujah, whilst you are
1:23:18
taking your shower, instead of complaining, grumbling and
1:23:21
thinking about nonsense, you are prophesying creating things even
1:23:24
in the bathroom in the name of Jesus.
1:23:26
As I step out today, favor follows me.
1:23:29
The Bible says so He gives me daily my benefit.
1:23:32
I'm prepared to receive that of today.
1:23:34
Give me my daily bread, that which is needed for my
1:23:37
sufficiency. In the name of Jesus I call for
1:23:40
help us of my destiny. They that have been touched by
1:23:43
the hand of God, they position themselves strategically across
1:23:47
the corridors of my destiny, showing me favor, granting me
1:23:51
unusual access, granting me unusual acceptance.
1:23:54
They become enhancers to my becoming.
1:23:57
In the name of Jesus. I am not without help.
1:24:00
I will call on one and a nation will respond to me.
1:24:03
This is the believer living by the word of God.
1:24:05
This is not a Sunday to Sunday pretentious thing that you run
1:24:09
your life by this software. Who is learning tonight?
1:24:14
You'll get to your doctor and he gives you an honest report and
1:24:17
tells you something that is inconsistent with the word of
1:24:19
God. Now don't insult him.
1:24:20
It's not his fault. He's doing his professional duty
1:24:23
and you receive it. You thank him.
1:24:25
Like Hezekiah, you turn your face to the wall.
1:24:27
The wall may mean your way back home and say in the name of
1:24:30
Jesus, death and life is in the power of my tongue.
1:24:33
I choose to leave death. Not now, not soon, not even
1:24:37
later. In the name of Jesus, I leave.
1:24:40
I leave. I leave.
1:24:44
You're flying in the air and you speak.
1:24:46
The devil begins to suggest hope.
1:24:48
You told your loved ones goodbye.
1:24:50
You say in the name of Jesus Christ, the Prince of the power
1:24:53
of the air. You have no way here.
1:24:55
In the name of Jesus Christ, I send the word and I decree and
1:24:59
declare. I will arrive safely because
1:25:01
he's Alpha Omega. He began that journey with me.
1:25:04
I will land well in the name of Jesus Christ.
1:25:10
I hope you're not just clapping. Do you believe what you're
1:25:12
hearing? Live like this and watch your
1:25:15
life change a possible. I don't know what to do.
1:25:21
I'm in confusion right now. Let me tell you what to do.
1:25:23
Begin to speak that the wisdom of God is at work in.
1:25:26
Me. The Spirit of wisdom has
1:25:28
unrestrained access to my mind. I may not aside yet know what to
1:25:33
do, but in the name of Jesus I engage the ministry of the only
1:25:37
wise God, and I declare by his Spirit that wisdom will distill
1:25:41
itself from the heart of the Father to my consciousness.
1:25:44
I may not aside yet know what to do, but I'm not without a
1:25:47
strategy. I tap into the hidden wisdom of
1:25:50
God. A message for you to listen to
1:25:52
again, in the name of Jesus, I am not without help.
1:25:55
Someone say I receive wisdom. Shout it like you need it.
1:25:58
I receive wisdom. Let a businessman shout it like
1:26:01
you need it. I receive wisdom.
1:26:03
Say I receive strategies. I receive wisdom.
1:26:07
I receive strategies classified for my victory against.
1:26:11
I receive wisdom. Turn into prayer in one minute.
1:26:14
I receive wisdom for the times, wisdom for my job, wisdom for my
1:26:19
hope in the name of Jesus. It's the hidden wisdom of God.
1:26:23
Someone pray. Clap your hands in one minute
1:26:26
and pray like you are serious. In the name of the Lord Jesus
1:26:29
Christ, I receive wisdom. By the power of the Holy Ghost,
1:26:33
I receive wisdom in the name. Of Jesus I receive wisdom by the
1:26:42
power of the Holy Ghost in Jesus name please you be seated, be
1:26:47
seated. Hallelujah.
1:26:50
When men say there is a casting down, don't criticize them.
1:26:54
Don't hate on people now that's a disclaimer because sometimes
1:26:59
believers, in a bid to demonstrate what they call
1:27:01
faith, they become a nuisance to society.
1:27:04
Don't go around the street harassing people and insulting
1:27:07
them. Everyone is entitled to his
1:27:09
speakings. If you don't like what they say,
1:27:11
intercede for them and if you have the chance, you can talk to
1:27:14
them in love. Don't go around slapping the
1:27:17
faces of people with words and hating on them.
1:27:19
Now. You are not a Christian.
1:27:20
You are a nuisance if you do that to someone learning.
1:27:26
But hold fast your professional faith.
1:27:29
Hold it fast like a captain, an experienced, determined captain
1:27:34
holding to the rod of a ship and navigating through the tides at
1:27:38
sea until he gets he arrives safely.
1:27:41
That's how you run your life. I believe this, Dave.
1:27:50
Are you ready? Spirit, lead me.
1:27:53
And then now listen to this. I want him to minister to you in
1:27:56
one minute. Colonial global.
1:27:58
You listen very quickly. And then I'll give you the 3rd
1:28:03
and the 4th and then we're done tonight.
1:28:06
Who is landing so far? Your only thank you.
1:28:14
Listen, your only thank you to me is your transformation that
1:28:20
the next time we come here, we will meet mighty men.
1:28:25
Men and women who live by the word of God as pastors, as
1:28:28
businessmen, praise the name of the Lord, right?
1:28:31
So go ahead, just just listen and let it minister to you for
1:28:36
one moment. You.
1:28:39
Call me out upon the world, the great, where feet may fail, And
1:28:55
there I find you in the mystery an oceans deep.
1:29:05
My faith will stand, and I will call upon your name and keep my
1:29:21
eyes the waves when oceans rise. My soul will rest in your
1:29:30
embrace, for I am yours and you are my own.
1:29:51
Spirit, lead me where my trust is, Without Borders.
1:29:57
Let me walk upon the walls wherever you would call me.
1:30:07
Take me deeper than my feet would ever and my faith would be
1:30:16
made stronger. Let this song strengthen you
1:30:19
right now. My Savior Spirit lead me where
1:30:26
my trust is with our borders. Let me walk upon the waters
1:30:35
wherever you would call me. Hey, take me deeper that might
1:30:44
be could ever wander and my mind would be made stronger in the.
1:30:52
World into my soul and beyond. Spirit, give me all my trust in
1:31:01
without the water. Let me walk upon the water and
1:31:07
wherever you would call me air, and take me deeper than my
1:31:17
thicker ever one there, and my faith will be made stronger in
1:31:24
the prayers of my Savior. Hallelujah, whilst you're
1:31:34
standing in one minute before you sit, without shouting,
1:31:38
without yelling, in one minute. I like you to just see the Holy
1:31:43
Spirit resting, giving you wisdom, leading you, showing you
1:31:50
a way out. There had no temptation that has
1:31:54
befallen man except that which is similar, that has come upon
1:31:59
all men, and that with every temptation God will make for you
1:32:02
a way of escape so that you are not overwhelmed by it.
1:32:06
One minute I'd like you to see yourself coming out of that
1:32:09
financial challenge. See God fixing your home again.
1:32:15
See God fixing your son again, fixing your life again.
1:32:20
See the prodigal son coming back home again, the prodigal
1:32:24
daughter coming back home again. See yourself imagine triumphant
1:32:29
after years, maybe decades, of battles and fighting.
1:32:36
That's the victorious believer. Imagine that's the victorious
1:32:40
mother. Imagine that's the victorious
1:32:42
businessman. Imagine that's the woman who's
1:32:45
been without child, the one who's been called Ichabod, now a
1:32:50
joyful mother of children. That's the man who's been
1:32:53
without Job, but by the favor of God, now rejoicing in plenty.
1:32:59
It is the Lord's doing. And if it is the Lord's doing,
1:33:02
then it must sooner or later be marvelous in our eyes.
1:33:08
And keeping that vision cast before you, I prophecy over you
1:33:11
that everything you have seen through the eyes of faith, with
1:33:14
the eyes of faith, sooner than expected, may become your
1:33:18
testimony made manifest before you, Some of you, to your shock
1:33:23
and your surprise, to your amazement, made manifest.
1:33:27
In the name of Jesus, perhaps for someone with strong faith,
1:33:30
this week beginning in the name of Jesus, let it be the week
1:33:34
that fulfills every prophetic word.
1:33:36
That's been spoken from January until now.
1:33:39
You receive that, shout Amen. Shout Amen again, Shout Amen one
1:33:44
last time. Please be gloriously seated.
1:33:47
Scriptural strategies for survival #3 In addition to being
1:33:52
strong in the Lord, walking and living by the principles of the
1:33:57
Word of God. Ready for #3 Now?
1:34:00
Here's how I wanted to listen. Here's how I wrote it.
1:34:03
And you listen, and then you write the third key.
1:34:06
You want to survive turbulent times until you win, until you
1:34:11
stand, until you remain, even when the dust is long settled.
1:34:15
Embrace the spiritual family system.
1:34:20
Embrace the spiritual family system that God has placed
1:34:25
within the body of Christ. I'll explain to you what I just
1:34:28
wrote, what I just dictated as you write.
1:34:32
Embrace the spiritual family system that God has placed
1:34:37
within the body of Christ. That means you must embrace what
1:34:41
we call corporate Christian living.
1:34:44
Embrace the spiritual family system, spiritual dash family
1:34:51
dash system that God has put within the body of Christ.
1:34:57
Hebrews chapter 1024 and 25 quickly please.
1:35:01
Hebrews chapter 10 it says, and let us consider one another to
1:35:09
provoke unto love and unto good works.
1:35:12
Now verse 25 it says not forsaking the assembling of
1:35:17
ourselves together. Take note together as the manner
1:35:21
of some is but exhorting one another and so much the more as
1:35:27
you see the day approaching second scripture.
1:35:32
And then I explain. For you what you just wrote Acts
1:35:35
chapter 2 from verse one to four.
1:35:37
Did you know that the Holy Ghost did not just come because the
1:35:40
day of Pentecost was fully calm? The Holy Ghost also came because
1:35:43
he found them in one accord. When the day of Pentecost was
1:35:47
fully calm, this was the first reason that the day was fully
1:35:51
calm. Are we together?
1:35:54
And then the second reason is that he found them in one accord
1:35:58
and in one place. This is very powerful.
1:36:02
In one accord and in one place. In one accord, harmony and in
1:36:07
one place. Psalm 133.
1:36:10
The popular Scripture quoted portions of this earlier on. 133
1:36:14
and verse one. Behold, how good and how
1:36:17
pleasant it is. The Bible says when brethren
1:36:21
dwell together in unity, there you see the word together again,
1:36:25
verse 2. He says it is likened to the
1:36:28
precious ointment upon the head that ran down to the bed and
1:36:33
even to Aaron's bed, and went down to the skirts of his
1:36:37
garment, the stream, and as the dew of Hammon, and as the dew
1:36:41
that descended upon the mountains.
1:36:45
For there the Lord had commanded the blessing in that gathering
1:36:51
in that state. The Lord had commanded the
1:36:54
blessing, even life forevermore. Praise the name of the Lord in
1:36:59
Acts chapter 2 and verse 42. We see this in the life of the
1:37:04
early church, that even though they had distinct experiences,
1:37:08
every once and again they gathered together.
1:37:10
The Bible says they continued steadfastly in the apostles
1:37:14
doctrine and in fellowship, in breaking of bread and in prayer.
1:37:18
We're reading to 47 And fear came upon every soul, and many
1:37:22
wonders and signs were done by the apostles. 44 it says.
1:37:27
And all that believed were together.
1:37:29
Watch this. All that believed were together
1:37:33
and had all things in common. 45 Now they sold their possession
1:37:39
and goods. You will not sell yours in Jesus
1:37:41
name. This was the early church.
1:37:43
Now there's no reason for this. And they continuing daily.
1:37:46
Now watch this continuing daily with 1 accord in the temple and
1:37:52
breaking bread from house to house did eat their meat with
1:37:56
gladness and with singleness of heart.
1:37:59
As a result, they were praising God and having favor with all
1:38:03
men. And the Lord added daily to the
1:38:06
church, not to the person, to the church.
1:38:09
The gathering of believers as many as should be saved.
1:38:13
I'll tell you this, the key to sustaining Kingdom values is to
1:38:19
have a community lifestyle. As believers in isolation, there
1:38:25
is a limit to what you can do in isolation.
1:38:28
There is a limit to how far you can go.
1:38:31
And this is something that many believers do not understand.
1:38:34
So they might be doing well as individuals, but surprisingly,
1:38:38
if you do not embrace the community culture of the
1:38:42
Kingdom, are we together? God is a family oriented God,
1:38:46
are we together? And if God desires to help
1:38:48
believers, what happens? Regardless the unique spiritual
1:38:52
experience you have have, God will pick you and plant you
1:38:56
within a spiritual family for your growth, for your
1:38:59
nourishment. Are we together?
1:39:01
Yes, it is dangerous to be in isolation, especially in this
1:39:06
end times. Now, there are many believers
1:39:08
who believe that they do not need to be part of a larger
1:39:11
spiritual family, and they sustain that orientation to
1:39:15
their peril. Because when Satan strikes,
1:39:18
there are times you may not have the strength and the energy to
1:39:21
fight, but you can leverage on the corporate community living
1:39:25
for your victory. Do you believe this?
1:39:28
I will always give this, give this example, watch this.
1:39:31
Imagine, say during winter or so you are able, you have your
1:39:36
coal. You put your coal together to
1:39:37
light your fire. How many of you know that if you
1:39:40
pick one hot coal and you bring it out of that collection and
1:39:45
drop it, you don't need to blow any air by itself?
1:39:48
It begins to grow cold our way together.
1:39:51
So the power, its ability to produce heat for your home, it's
1:39:55
in its togetherness. When Satan wants to destroy an
1:39:59
individual, among the many strategies that he deploys is
1:40:02
that he uses offense to cause you to fight everyone who can
1:40:07
help you, the people who represent your community, your
1:40:10
prayer friends. You know, those who can stand
1:40:13
with you, can believe God with you through offense.
1:40:16
When you fight them and you are alone, then he strikes you.
1:40:22
Are we together? It's true.
1:40:26
It's the reason why part of the manifestation of the spirit of
1:40:29
depression, you see, is that they always want to be alone.
1:40:32
The devil isolates them. They they hate family, they hate
1:40:36
togetherness is because you want to strike them.
1:40:40
It's important God takes individuals and he plants them
1:40:44
in families who is understanding me so far.
1:40:47
I pray for you in the name of Jesus Christ that the blessings
1:40:50
that is connected to the corporate life of believers.
1:40:54
You will receive from that blessing that in as much as you
1:40:57
have your personal work with God, your private work with God,
1:41:01
your secret place, you will draw that which has come from your
1:41:05
secret place, and there will be a sharing together when you come
1:41:08
alone. I hope you know that when you
1:41:10
gather like this, you are receiving both vertically and
1:41:13
horizontally. Do you believe that?
1:41:15
So whilst you are receiving from God through me from the pulpit,
1:41:19
you are sitting with someone who might carry the grace for favor,
1:41:22
the grace for speed. Yeah, it's scriptural, the Bible
1:41:26
says. And to comfort others with the
1:41:28
same comforts that you have received, someone who has
1:41:32
survived by faith. Are we together now sitting
1:41:35
close to you? And sometimes God will
1:41:37
orchestrate that event intentionally so that whilst you
1:41:40
are receiving from me a grace that has come from that woman's
1:41:44
10 years of intercession, it can rub off on you and you will
1:41:48
leave the church receiving beyond that which came from the
1:41:51
pulpit. Hallelujah.
1:41:56
It's why when you come to church, you don't just honor the
1:41:59
man of God alone, you also honor the man of God.
1:42:03
The one seated they may be on, assuming they may not carry any
1:42:06
regalia of ministry, but trust me, that testimony has brought
1:42:10
grace to their lives. Is someone learning?
1:42:14
Say Amen. You must embrace the corporate
1:42:18
culture, the corporate culture of believers.
1:42:22
The key to sustaining Kingdom values is to have a community
1:42:27
life. That means where you do not have
1:42:29
the courage to stand for Jesus because you are alone in the
1:42:32
presence of a company of like minded friends, like minded
1:42:36
believers, it will now help to plant the confidence in you to
1:42:40
stand for Jesus. Is that true?
1:42:42
Sometimes, in all honesty, it can be difficult to stand alone.
1:42:45
Not impossible, but difficult to stand alone.
1:42:48
But if there's a prayer friend, someone you can call and say,
1:42:51
listen, I need to open up to you.
1:42:53
I'm going through a crisis, can you stand with me?
1:42:55
Can you stand by me? I'll tell you this, I'm praying
1:43:01
for you that before this session is ended, God will plant favor
1:43:06
in your heart. Listen, listen, listen before
1:43:08
you shout. Amen.
1:43:09
The favor is not just for cars and houses that that favor will
1:43:12
direct you to someone who will become an ally in destiny.
1:43:20
Some of you, some of you have not some of you have not been
1:43:23
fortunate with good friends. And I, and I say this sincerely,
1:43:27
you are nice people, but I mean just there is there seems to be
1:43:32
a negative energy that attracts you to troublemakers, bad
1:43:36
people. Are we together?
1:43:38
You open up to someone and the next thing it becomes a sermon
1:43:43
somewhere, you know? So I'm praying for such people.
1:43:46
In the name of Jesus, the Son of the living God, may my God give
1:43:50
you the gift of good. Friends, prayerful friends,
1:43:55
loving friends. Those who love you, whether it
1:43:58
works well or not. Who is saying Amen?
1:44:02
Those who will cry with you, Those who will pray with you,
1:44:06
Those who are not threatened by your success, those who are not
1:44:10
afraid of clapping when the world is clapping for you.
1:44:14
Those whose kiss is an authentic kiss, not the kiss of Judas,
1:44:19
that their kiss will not be assigned to the enemy, That you
1:44:22
are the one to be destroyed. I pray that for you in Jesus
1:44:26
name, please sit, please sit, hear me.
1:44:30
You are as powerful, you are as fortunate as the man who believe
1:44:35
in you. No matter how godly, no matter
1:44:38
how anointed, if alone and in isolation you are vulnerable,
1:44:44
when God wants to help a man to sustain your Kingdom values, He
1:44:48
will connect you to a spiritual family like this.
1:44:51
You see, there are many of you on hearing the things that
1:44:56
you're hearing now you're wondering, where have I been?
1:44:58
That's the power of community. Are we together?
1:45:02
The power of community, that's the reason why you see church
1:45:08
members must be trained to know that they have a role to play in
1:45:13
helping people who come to church love Jesus.
1:45:16
So it's not just from the pastor.
1:45:18
The behavior of the members can to a large extent, determine
1:45:22
whether the people will remain serving Jesus or be discouraged
1:45:26
and leave. It's true, It's true.
1:45:33
Are we together? I'm just digressing for a moment
1:45:36
to pray again for you. Honestly, May God give you the
1:45:39
gift of good people. Some of you.
1:45:45
Almost every trouble in your life, it didn't come by your
1:45:49
personal carelessness. You were a victim of foolish
1:45:53
people. With all due respect, bad people
1:45:56
and people who brought all kinds of negative energy to your life
1:45:59
now it doesn't mean to insult people.
1:46:02
You should be friendly to everyone.
1:46:04
I'm talking about destiny, relationships, relationships
1:46:07
that matter as far as your remaining, your relevance, your
1:46:11
imagine is concerned. Are we together?
1:46:14
Compartmentalize your life. Everybody cannot have access to
1:46:18
every part of your life. Now be good to all men, love
1:46:21
everyone, doesn't matter the mixed multitude.
1:46:24
But when it has to do with your Holy of Holies, there are people
1:46:27
you must have like minded people that when you say I'm trusting
1:46:31
God for big things, they don't say how can that be done?
1:46:34
No, there are people of like mind.
1:46:36
Are we together and for someone who is desperately praying for
1:46:40
good friends, people who can wake you up and say you can make
1:46:44
it, don't give up you love Jesus.
1:46:46
People who can call you to order where you are deviating in love
1:46:49
and say no, this is not you. Get back to order.
1:46:52
I wake doubt that sleepers. I pray that you will find such
1:46:55
people and I pray that when they come, you don't drive them with
1:47:01
bad behavior. Hallelujah #4 #4 The third key
1:47:15
that comes as a survival strategy for challenging times
1:47:19
is that you should not be alone. Don't be alone, refuse to be
1:47:22
alone. You must be able to hold the arm
1:47:25
of someone who loves God. Are we together?
1:47:28
2 are better than one, the Bible says, because they have a good
1:47:31
reward for their labor. And it says a three fold cord is
1:47:36
not easily broken. May you find a prayer partner.
1:47:40
May you find a true confidant. May you find a burden bearer.
1:47:46
May you find someone who loves both your crown and your scars.
1:47:51
You will never find people who love only your crown.
1:47:54
They will look at your scars and love it all the same.
1:47:57
In Jesus name we pray. And for Colonia USI tell you
1:48:02
this, your strength is in your togetherness.
1:48:05
Your strength is in your togetherness.
1:48:07
Did you hear that? Your strength is in your
1:48:09
togetherness. No matter the the richness of
1:48:13
your secret place, if in isolation you are still
1:48:18
vulnerable. I can only see what is before
1:48:22
me. Except by the aid of visuals,
1:48:25
I'm not able to see what is behind me.
1:48:27
But you imagine that there are two or three people that are
1:48:31
behind me, beside me. It enhances my security.
1:48:35
What I cannot see, you can see for me.
1:48:37
What you cannot see, I can see for you.
1:48:39
Spiritually, financially, etcetera.
1:48:43
There are opportunities that may be beyond my sight, my vision,
1:48:46
my scope. But because of someone in the
1:48:48
House of God who is loving enough, benevolent enough, you
1:48:52
can extend any opportunity for me, for my rising again.
1:48:56
May you find such people. Let me give you #4 very quickly,
1:49:02
Number one, be strong in the Lord #2 walk and live by the
1:49:07
principles of the Word of God. Live by faith.
1:49:10
Live by the Word of God, not just speaking it, but live in it
1:49:15
#3 embrace the spiritual family system for your strength, for
1:49:22
your comfort. Embrace the community living of
1:49:26
believers. And then #4 this is very
1:49:30
important. Embrace the preserving power of
1:49:33
priestly and prophetic blessings.
1:49:36
You want to survive the times. You must embrace the preserving
1:49:40
power of priestly and prophetic blessings.
1:49:47
Embrace the preserving power of priestly and prophetic
1:49:52
blessings. Genesis chapter 18, we read from
1:49:56
verse 17, so the context to 33 this was the Angel of the Lord,
1:50:05
O God, as many people purport he comes to Abraham to deliver to
1:50:09
him and news that he's going to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah.
1:50:13
Please follow closely. And he said, shall I hide from
1:50:17
Abraham the thing which I do? Verse 18 Seeing that Abraham
1:50:21
shall surely become a great and a mighty nation, and all the
1:50:25
nations of the earth shall be blessed in him, for I know him,
1:50:30
but he will command his children, and so on and so
1:50:32
forth. And now he tells Abraham that
1:50:35
I'm going to judge Sodom and Gomorrah, because their iniquity
1:50:38
has risen before me. And Abraham knowing, listen,
1:50:42
that Lot is there with the children, he began to negotiate
1:50:45
preservation for Lot. Unknown to Lot, disaster was
1:50:50
about to strike. Are we together?
1:50:52
Sodom and Gomorrah was going to be burned by fire and Abraham
1:50:56
began to speak and here's what he said will doubt destroy the
1:51:00
righteous with the wicked per adventure.
1:51:05
There are 50 righteous people within the city.
1:51:08
Will you also destroy or or spare and he said no, I I will
1:51:13
not slay the righteous. Then he began from 50 went to
1:51:16
40. He went to 20.
1:51:18
You know the story to 10 and that was how angels, it was on
1:51:22
account of this conversation, this advocacy, this intercession
1:51:27
that angels were released. Are we together?
1:51:29
And they went to the House of Lot delivering Lot and the
1:51:32
children. Unfortunately, the wife turned
1:51:34
back. She had a chance to go forward,
1:51:37
but she turned back and the Bible telling us to learn from
1:51:40
Lot's wife. He said if any man draws back,
1:51:42
my soul will not find pleasure in him.
1:51:48
Priestly and prophetic blessings.
1:51:50
Let me tell you this, when a man of God anointed by God and sent
1:51:55
to you, when he opens his mouth under the influence of the
1:51:59
Spirit and proclaims or pronounces a blessing upon you,
1:52:04
among the many things that these blessings bring is preservation.
1:52:09
Are we together? There is preservation in
1:52:12
priestly and prophetic blessings.
1:52:15
If you believe that, say Amen. It's.
1:52:18
True. Jeremiah, chapter 30. 320 and 21
1:52:26
Jeremiah 33 very quickly. 20 and 21 Thus said the Lord, If ye can
1:52:32
break my covenant of the day and my covenant of the night, and
1:52:37
that there be no day and no night in its season, 21 then may
1:52:42
ye also break my covenant with David.
1:52:45
You see that my servant, that he should not have his Son to
1:52:48
reign, and with the Levites and the priest and my ministers, you
1:52:52
know what that means? That God entered the covenant
1:52:54
with David, with the priest, with the Levites, with the
1:52:56
ministers. Are we together, everyone God
1:53:00
raises. Watch this.
1:53:01
When God calls a man to serve His grace, his wisdom, his
1:53:05
power, a unique dimension of his glory to a people, a church, an
1:53:09
assembly, a community, and then a generation, there are
1:53:14
covenants, not general covenants.
1:53:17
There are personal covenants that God has with that man that
1:53:21
become the, the, the principle, the rule of engagement upon
1:53:26
which is power flows from that man through that man to the
1:53:30
people God sent him to. Are we together?
1:53:32
And among the many times of that agreement is that when he works
1:53:37
in keeping, he or she works in keeping with the, the, the
1:53:42
principles that God has given that person to God, that grace,
1:53:45
they make pronouncements. God will honor it.
1:53:48
The Bible says he confirms the words of his messengers.
1:53:52
Are we together? He performs the counsel of his
1:53:54
messengers and he confirms the word of his servants.
1:54:01
I'm about to declare over someone and I know by the power
1:54:04
of the Holy Spirit that as I declare over you, Isaiah 65 and
1:54:08
verse 8, there will be preserving power in the name of
1:54:11
Jesus Christ for someone. By this prophetic declaration
1:54:14
you are about to receive, you will escape like the bird is
1:54:18
escaped from the snare of the Fowler.
1:54:20
In the name of Jesus Christ give it to us.
1:54:22
Isaiah 65 and verse eight first saith the Lord.
1:54:26
It says as the new wine is found in the cluster and once said
1:54:31
destroy it not for there is a blessing in it.
1:54:36
So will I do for my servant's sake, that I may not destroy
1:54:40
them all for my servant's sake. There are calamities that may
1:54:44
have been programmed by darkness over people, over businesses,
1:54:48
but in the name of Jesus, I come by this priestly and prophetic
1:54:52
mantle. I speak to someone to you in New
1:54:54
York, to you in America, extending to a global family
1:54:58
connected online from I mean from August, September, October,
1:55:03
November, December. May my God preserve you,
1:55:08
preserve your children, preserve your ministry, preserve your
1:55:12
business. In the name of Jesus Christ, you
1:55:16
will be too late for tragedy. If it will destroy, you will not
1:55:21
be found there. I say to a receiver, if it will
1:55:24
destroy you, you will not be found there.
1:55:27
If it will cause you pain and losses, you will be too late for
1:55:30
arrival. In the name of Jesus Christ, I
1:55:35
decree and declare, God will give you discernment to escape
1:55:39
evil. You will not walk into evil like
1:55:42
a bird. Walk into the snare of the
1:55:43
Fowler. In the name of Jesus Christ,
1:55:48
Hallelujah, every tragedy programmed by Satan to cause you
1:55:55
pain, to cause you losses, you or your children or those
1:55:58
connected to you, to bleed out finances from your life so that
1:56:02
you are left in penury, in luck and want, I decree and declare.
1:56:06
By the preserving power of prophecy, by the preserving
1:56:09
power of priesthood, I declare you are preserved now.
1:56:15
In the name of Jesus Christ. Job said He will deliver you
1:56:19
from six things. Yes, seven.
1:56:22
Among them. He deliver you from the
1:56:24
scourging tongues of men. Hear me Any pronouncement that
1:56:29
has been made over your life, perhaps by your father, perhaps
1:56:33
by your mother, perhaps by another man of God who was hurt
1:56:36
and angry, even if it was in the days of ignorance.
1:56:39
I stand by the anointing of the Holy Spirit, and I declare that
1:56:43
course is lifted from you, that yoke is lifted from you, that
1:56:48
programming is lifted from you where you have been cursed.
1:56:51
I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ.
1:56:54
I decree and declare it must be well with you.
1:56:58
Instead, say unto the righteous it shall be well with them.
1:57:01
Therefore I speak unto you, New York.
1:57:04
I speak unto you America. I speak unto you Abuja, Nigeria,
1:57:08
Syria. I speak unto you, UK, Canada,
1:57:12
China, Ghana, Zambia, South Africa, Kenya.
1:57:16
I declare and declare, Let it be well with you, let it be well
1:57:20
with your children, let it be well with your job, let it be
1:57:23
well with your business. In the name of Jesus.
1:57:27
In the name of Jesus, every dead and every dying business hear
1:57:32
the word of the Lord come back to life now.
1:57:36
Every dead or dying spiritual life hear the word of the Lord
1:57:40
come back to life now. Every dead or dying family hear
1:57:44
the word of the Lord come back to life now.
1:57:47
Every dead or dying career hear the word of the Lord come back
1:57:51
to life now. I prophecy go forward.
1:57:55
I prophecy increase you and your children.
1:57:59
I place grace on you. I place faith on you again.
1:58:03
I place grace on you. I place for partake paracatos.
1:58:07
I place grace on you. I place favor on you in the name
1:58:12
of Jesus. You are a well watered garden
1:58:16
and I speak to every storm. Peace be still.
1:58:20
Financial storms peace be still. Marital storms, peace be still.
1:58:27
Carrier storms, peace be still. In the name of Jesus Christ,
1:58:33
Storms that arise as a result of the ill wishes of man, I declare
1:58:39
peace be still over America, peace be still over Nigeria,
1:58:45
peace be still over Koinonia, global peace be still in the
1:58:51
name of Jesus Christ. When men say there is a casting
1:59:22
down, I decree and declare, I deposit this prophecy, let it
1:59:26
hang around in the realm of the Spirit, let it follow you like a
1:59:30
shadow, and let it be a defense. When men say there is a casting
1:59:34
down, my dear people, I speak over you.
1:59:37
Let it be for you that there is a lifting up in the name of
1:59:41
Jesus. When there is darkness over
1:59:44
Egypt, you who are the the Israel of the Lord, I declare,
1:59:48
let light be in Goshen. Let lights be in your homes,
1:59:52
your schools, your offices, in the name of Jesus Christ.
1:59:56
All those who desire that you stumble and fall, they will be
2:00:00
the ones who stumble and fall. They come in one way, but they
2:00:04
are dispersed in seven ways. In the name of Jesus, may my God
2:00:08
lose the loins of kings for your sake.
2:00:11
You will suck honey out of the rock.
2:00:14
You will suck the breast of kings.
2:00:16
Pharaoh will not sleep till he exalts you, Joseph.
2:00:20
Nebuchadnezzar will not sleep till he exalts you.
2:00:22
Daniel, in the name of Jesus Christ, hear me Like Gideon, you
2:00:29
will blow a shofar and 33,000 people will show up to back you
2:00:34
up. They will show up to stand with
2:00:36
you in the name of Jesus. Let me prophecy over someone
2:00:44
you've told all night and you've not caught fish.
2:00:47
You've submitted applications everywhere, but there's no job.
2:00:51
You submitted your papers and it's been stuck with the
2:00:55
immigration for forever. In the name of Jesus and by the
2:00:58
Spirit of prophecy, I declare welcome to your season of
2:01:03
manifestation. Welcome to your season where
2:01:06
every prophetic word spoken to you becomes flesh.
2:01:11
It will manifest speedily. I say full manifest speedily.
2:01:16
I see some of you lifting your documents.
2:01:18
I decree and declare by the God of Joshua, the one who writes
2:01:23
upon the wings of the wind. I decree and declare, Let there
2:01:27
be speedy manifestations, speedy manifestations, believers, body
2:01:35
of Christ, quota to shame. May my God step in for his
2:01:40
namesake. Quarter to shame, quarter to
2:01:43
embarrassment, quarter to disappointment.
2:01:46
May the God of heaven arise as a deliverer.
2:01:49
May he stand before you as a mighty terrible one.
2:01:53
Yeah, me. I'm praying.
2:01:57
Make sure you receive. Yeah, me.
2:02:02
Evil man will not arrive. The ears of your help us before
2:02:06
you. Did you hear what I said?
2:02:10
Evil man will not arrive. The ears of your help us before
2:02:14
you. They will not give them a bad
2:02:18
idea before you arrive. The same way the wheels of
2:02:23
Pharaoh's chariot was stuck in the sea until the Red Sea
2:02:27
covered them. Anyone holding ahead of you to
2:02:30
make your helpers hate you. Anyone holding ahead of you to
2:02:34
make your bless us hate you, Their wheels will be stuck until
2:02:38
they are buried with the sea in the name of Jesus Christ.
2:02:51
I pray for you every coordinated attack in this season that Satan
2:02:57
has seen the radar of your next season and he sent an arsenal to
2:03:02
fight your prayer life, to fight your word life, to fight your
2:03:05
testimony, to fight your integrity to someone who's
2:03:09
experiencing hell on earth right now.
2:03:12
I decree and declare, fear not, God has redeemed you.
2:03:16
He has called you by name, and you belong to Him.
2:03:19
When you walk through the waters, it will not overwhelm
2:03:22
you. Through the rivers it will not
2:03:24
overwhelm you. When you pass through fire, it
2:03:27
will not consume you. I decree and declare, Let the
2:03:30
mantle of a deliverer rest upon you now.
2:03:41
Upon you now. Now listen.
2:03:44
Colonial global. Please receive this.
2:03:46
The Spirit of Prophecy is upon me.
2:03:49
I want to pray over your finances and I want you to
2:03:53
believe it. I am very unapologetic about the
2:03:59
well-being, the financial well-being of God's people.
2:04:03
I told you during the conference that if you are helped by God
2:04:07
financially, it can preserve your integrity.
2:04:10
It can take away distractions from your life.
2:04:13
I'm not talking of self aggrandizement.
2:04:15
I'm not talking of the marketing of flesh where you seek money
2:04:18
just for it. I'm talking of the blessing of
2:04:21
the Lord becoming a Garrison for you and your children.
2:04:25
Are we together now? Listen, ladies and gentlemen, it
2:04:29
is true that wealth answers to productivity.
2:04:33
It is true that wealth answers to wisdom.
2:04:36
It is true that wealth answers to relationships.
2:04:39
But there is a dimension of wealth that is prophetic.
2:04:43
It is true there is a by this time tomorrow dimension.
2:04:47
And you better believe all of that.
2:04:49
Honestly, you better believe it now.
2:04:52
Sometimes, sometimes in a bid, in a bid to take away a sense of
2:04:59
carelessness from believers. And I understand the intent
2:05:01
behind it. We tell people that there's
2:05:04
nothing like prophesying for you to be blessed.
2:05:07
Go and walk. I understand what you mean.
2:05:10
Under normal circumstances, the law of wealth is that it
2:05:13
responds to value, to productivity, to excellence.
2:05:17
Are we together? The church is not a place with
2:05:19
dollars. Many of you here are exceptional
2:05:22
people, and so I'm not insulting your pedigree, but just to let
2:05:26
you know that there is another layer of financial possibility.
2:05:29
Believe me, if God does not help you, then what is the advantage
2:05:33
of being in Christ? There is a system of advantage.
2:05:36
There are times that everything you know to do and have to do is
2:05:39
in place and yet the realm of the Spirit does not respond
2:05:42
favorably. At such times you need the
2:05:44
prophetic word. There are times you can be hard
2:05:47
working, but your axe head can sink.
2:05:50
It's not because of carelessness.
2:05:52
It was once you were using it to cut the tree.
2:05:55
But when the axe head falls, there is no technical skill to
2:05:58
bring it out. It takes prophecy.
2:06:01
It is to such I want to speak now in the name of Jesus, in
2:06:04
addition to your value, in addition to your productivity.
2:06:09
I know you have jobs, I know you have investments, I know you
2:06:12
have businesses. This is New York, the financial
2:06:15
hub of the United States. But in the name of Jesus Christ,
2:06:19
I come by this prophetic mantle and I speak to someone in this
2:06:23
season, in addition to your giftings, your value, in
2:06:27
addition to relationship, your products, I decree and declare
2:06:31
experience the prophetic order of the blessing of the Lord.
2:06:36
Experience the prophetic order of finances, stepping to
2:06:41
supernatural finances, helped by God, assisted by heaven,
2:06:46
strengthen until you become a mighty man in the name of Jesus
2:06:50
Christ. They said they got not the land
2:06:53
in possession by their own sword, neither did their own
2:06:56
arms save them, but you, O Lord, your right hand, because you
2:07:00
showed a favor towards them. I speak to those trusting God
2:07:04
for properties, for structural establishment, the God who gave
2:07:08
Koinonia her property. I pray for you.
2:07:11
May He show up and establish you in the name of Jesus in America.
2:07:16
He will establish you in Nigeria.
2:07:19
He will establish you in the name of Jesus.
2:07:24
Strangers will feed your flock. Those who do not know, they will
2:07:28
be sent by God to stand with you, to stand for you.
2:07:32
I said again. They will be sent by God to
2:07:34
stand with you, to stand for you one last time.
2:07:38
They will be sent by God to stand with you in the name of
2:07:41
Jesus. Joseph, although you are gifted
2:07:45
because you are in prison, May God raise a wine pressure to
2:07:49
speak to Pharaoh on your behalf. May God raise a wine pressure to
2:07:55
speak to Pharaoh on your behalf in the name of Jesus.
2:08:05
Wave your hands and give Jesus praise.
2:08:09
Wave your hands and give him praise.
2:08:13
Wave your hands like you are grateful.
2:08:15
Give him praise. Give him praise, Give him
2:08:20
praise. It's a new season for you.
2:08:23
Give him praise. Seasons of testimony.
2:08:27
Give him praise. Laughter, joy, rejoicing,
2:08:31
restoration, breaking out in praise, lengthening.
2:08:35
Your cord comforting her who was without shall oh say unto Zion
2:08:41
she's comforted in the name of Jesus Christ, Hallelujah, please
2:08:46
put down your. Hands, let's keep standing.
2:08:49
Let's keep standing. This is our final session for
2:08:52
now here in the United States and this is to Koinonia Global.
2:08:58
Amazing. There is always a way out.
2:09:01
It's a cliche I've come to receive in my own life.
2:09:03
There is always a way out. Hallelujah.
2:09:09
But I give someone an opportunity.
2:09:11
Right now, everyone please stand.
2:09:13
The Bible says the name of the Lord, that it is a strong tower.
2:09:18
And the righteous runs into it, and they are saved.
2:09:22
The Bible furthermore says there is no other name under heaven
2:09:26
given unto men by which we must or should be saved.
2:09:30
No Jesus, no life. It is true.
2:09:32
It is not a Christian cliche. He's able to give any man,
2:09:36
everyone whatsoever, whosoever, a new beginning.
2:09:40
And all you need to do is number 1 to believe that you are
2:09:43
insufficient by yourself. The Bible says for by the arm of
2:09:47
flesh you cannot be saved. He wants to give you my brother,
2:09:51
my sister, young, old, male, female, an opportunity to make
2:09:55
it right with Jesus and give me the honor of doing this as a
2:09:59
final function in the. US before we transit to Canada,
2:10:03
this is your chance to make Jesus Lord of your life.
2:10:07
I'm speaking to one bold person who is saying apostle.
2:10:11
For some reason I missed the sound of revival or I was here
2:10:14
but not convicted enough. For your sake will take a minute
2:10:18
or two to allow you make haste and come to the front.
2:10:22
Here I'm going to begin to count one to five.
2:10:25
You're saying I need a renewed relationship with Jesus.
2:10:29
You can come as a couple. You can come as an individual.
2:10:32
You can come as siblings. By all means make your way to
2:10:35
the front. I begin my counting now.
2:10:38
God bless you. Thank you.
2:10:40
Thank you. I have decided to follow Jesus.
2:10:47
No turning back. No turning back.
2:10:52
Keep coming. I have decided to follow Jesus.
2:11:00
No turning back. No turning back.
2:11:04
Sing with me. I have decided to follow Jesus.
2:11:11
No turning back. Come on America, you celebrating
2:11:15
salvation? Abuja, Syria, UK, Canada.
2:11:24
Make your way to Jesus now. Listen.
2:11:29
The cross before me, the world behind me.
2:11:35
No turning back, no turning back.
2:11:41
The cross before me, the world behind me.
2:11:47
No turning back. No turning back.
2:11:51
Sing out with me the cross. Before me, the world behind me.
2:11:58
No turning back. No turning back.
2:12:04
The cross before me, the world behind me.
2:12:10
No turning back. No turning.
2:12:16
Back. I don't know how it is in Abuja
2:12:18
right now. I don't know how it is in Zarya,
2:12:20
but right in the United States, in New York, there's a mighty
2:12:23
harvest here. Let's give Jesus praise.
2:12:27
Amazing, amazing, amazing. Hallelujah, please lend me your
2:12:34
attention. My dear brothers and sisters, I
2:12:36
am so touched watching this harvest again.
2:12:39
You know someday when Jesus comes, I will be somewhere in
2:12:44
heaven and I will look left and right and I will see you and you
2:12:49
and you and you and you, some of you as a couple.
2:12:55
I will see both of you. And I'll say I remember this
2:12:58
face. I remember you waving to Jesus.
2:13:01
I remember you smiling. Hallelujah, Amen.
2:13:07
For God so loved the world that he gave his one only begotten
2:13:11
Son, that whosoever that includes you, who will believe.
2:13:15
Even right now should not perish, it's a law, but to have
2:13:20
life everlasting, the Bible says in verse 13, John 3 For God did
2:13:25
not send his Son to the world to condemn the world.
2:13:30
No man condemns you. Doesn't matter what you've done,
2:13:33
doesn't matter how your life has been before.
2:13:35
Now hear what I'm telling you, and this is by the Spirit.
2:13:39
Welcome home. Welcome home.
2:13:43
Welcome home. Welcome home.
2:13:47
Hallelujah. Lift your right hand if you
2:13:50
will. All of you who are in front.
2:13:52
Thank you. I see couples standing, some
2:13:54
crying. I see women standing with their
2:13:57
children. I see vibrant young men and
2:14:00
women standing. I want to thank you for making
2:14:03
this noble decision. It's the wisest that any man can
2:14:06
make in this side of God's Kingdom.
2:14:08
Say after me as loud and as clear as you can.
2:14:11
And whilst you're saying this, Kanonia, Abuja, Zaria, all our
2:14:14
expressions, the viewing centers make sure that you make this
2:14:18
confession of faith. Say Lord Jesus, mean what you're
2:14:22
saying. Let's try it again.
2:14:23
Say, Lord Jesus, I love you with all my.
2:14:28
Heart. I believe that you are the Son
2:14:32
of God. I believe that you died for my
2:14:36
sin. I believe that you rose again
2:14:40
for my justification. Right now, I receive Jesus into
2:14:46
my heart. Be my Lord, be my Savior, be my
2:14:51
King. I declare that from today I live
2:14:56
for Jesus. All the days of my life.
2:14:59
Amen. Keep the beautiful hands lifted.
2:15:01
Now I pray for you in the name of Jesus and upon your
2:15:04
confession of faith, I declare the power of sin, Satan, hell,
2:15:08
and the grave broken over your life.
2:15:10
I call you bona fide recipients of the life of God.
2:15:14
The grace to live the victorious Christian life is imparted upon
2:15:18
you. You walk in newness of life,
2:15:20
free of every guilt, free of whatever it is.
2:15:23
I declare that you are a child of God.
2:15:25
You live for Jesus all the days of your life.
2:15:28
In Jesus mighty and much less name, we pray and the church
2:15:31
says Amen. Now here's what I want you to do
2:15:36
for me, all of you. Just turn to the back, right to
2:15:40
the back, and you'll see the counselors holding the white and
2:15:43
the blue placards. I'd like you to use any of the
2:15:46
aisles available. They will have a word with you.
2:15:49
They are going to deliver. A package to you it's from Jesus
2:15:52
to me, with love. And whatever you find there, let
2:15:55
it be for your spiritual edification.
2:15:58
So I'll ask you to walk down the aisle.
2:16:00
Just follow any of the channels leading to the placard and then
2:16:06
they'll lead you to a room. They'll have a word with you.
2:16:08
If you have a prayer need, they'll be more than glad to
2:16:11
help you. Please counselors, direct them
2:16:14
whilst we clap. Go ahead and celebrate them.
2:16:18
Go ahead and celebrate them. Go ahead and celebrate them.
2:16:22
God bless you. Go ahead and celebrate them.
2:16:28
Hallelujah, Let's keep clapping until the last person leaves.
2:16:34
Keep clapping, keep clapping, keep clapping.
2:16:43
Hallelujah, Praise the name of the Lord.
2:16:47
Thank you so much for your patience.
2:16:49
It's been a stretch for us, but it's been worth it.
2:16:52
We give God glory before we share the grace.
2:16:56
Can you join me, New York? Can you join me America?
2:17:00
Can you join me? Koinonia, global body of Christ.
