  Turn that song into prayer tonight.
• 0:05
  Do to me what you want. Turn it into prayer.
• 0:14
  Let it go beyond the music rendition to a heartfelt,
• 0:18
  desperate prayer. Sharp rantos que la brandigue
• 0:23
  balacosiata do. To me what you want, Change me
• 0:28
  the way you want Heal me the way you want.
• 0:31
  Lift me the way you want. Anoint me the way you want.
• 0:35
  Renew me the way you want. Strengthen me the way you want.
• 0:39
  Uplift me, restore me. Someone pray.
• 0:45
  It's a song of surrender. It's a.
• 0:50
  Song of total surrender. Take a minute and express
• 0:58
  yourself and your hunger before him.
• 1:02
  Do to me what you want as I pray alone.
• 1:09
  Do to me what you want. Do to me what you want.
• 1:30
  Thank you, Jesus. Shimalando's career time now ask
• 1:35
  him to visit you tonight in an extraordinary way, an
• 1:42
  extraordinary dimension to do something that's not been done
• 1:48
  before in your life. To revive an experience that's
• 1:52
  not happened for a long time in your life.
• 1:56
  This prayer is only for hungry people, only for desperate
• 2:01
  people, only for sincere people. Who?
• 2:04
  Desire His presence more than their necessary.
• 2:07
  Food. In Jesus mighty name we pray.
• 2:17
  No time is ever wasted if it is invested in his presence.
• 2:21
  No time is ever wasted if it is invested in his presence.
• 2:27
  Every time you're worshipping the Lord and the flesh begins to
• 2:31
  just make you feel like you're wasting your time, cast it away.
• 2:35
  It's a demon spirit. It's.
• 2:36
  Robbing you of. Something in the place of
• 2:39
  worship. There are transactions that
• 2:41
  happen. He's taking away your weakness,
• 2:45
  like sapping out poison from a man.
• 2:48
  Are we together now and infusing strength?
• 2:51
  The Bible says they that wait upon the Lord.
• 2:54
  It's not a waste of time. It's not a waste of time.
• 2:57
  You are making a wise bargain every time invested in his
• 3:01
  presence. So don't allow the devil fool
• 3:03
  you into thinking, oh, this is just a continuation of his
• 3:06
  service. No, no.
• 3:07
  There are moments where we worship together, but there are
• 3:12
  moments where you have to be alone in as much as you're in
• 3:15
  the midst of thousands of people.
• 3:17
  You take away that audience mentality and know that you're
• 3:21
  in the audience of one. You're just pressing, pouring
• 3:25
  out your heart before him. And I'm telling you, at such
• 3:28
  times, you'll be surprised what happens.
• 3:30
  Weakness is exchanged for strength.
• 3:33
  Are we together? Laxity gives way for passion.
• 3:36
  Your hunger is revived. And then all kinds of prophetic
• 3:41
  words begin to manifest. You see prophecies hanging upon
• 3:45
  your head for yesteryears that have.
• 3:48
  Refused to manifest in his presence because in his presence
• 3:52
  the rod come bored even if it's not connected to a root.
• 3:58
  Hallelujah. This is the place of encounter.
• 4:10
  Do to me what you want. This is the place of surrender.
• 4:32
  This is the place where my life is changed.
• 4:44
  Father, we pray that you will honor a hunger for you tonight.
• 4:50
  We pray that everyone who has come for this encounter, meeting
• 4:56
  alongside the many who are connected across the globe, that
• 5:00
  all together you will give us unforgettable encounters in your
• 5:04
  presence. Our hearts are open, we submit
• 5:07
  to your wisdom, and we declare that at the end of this service
• 5:11
  it would be worth our time. We give you glory in advance,
• 5:14
  for it's in Jesus precious name. We pray.
• 5:17
  God bless you. Please greet someone by your
• 5:19
  left and right if you can, and thereafter you may be gloriously
• 5:23
  seated. Good evening to you all.
• 5:25
  And to our family connected online, it is always a joy to
• 5:31
  have us fellowship together as we grow progressively in the
• 5:37
  knowledge of God. And so thank you very much.
• 5:42
  A quick recap that every time we are gathered before the Lord in
• 5:48
  a service such as this number one, we are gathered to
• 5:51
  encounter God. God can.
• 5:54
  Be known, He can be revealed in the midst of his people.
• 5:59
  As mighty as infinite as he is, He seeks to make himself known
• 6:04
  and gatherings such as this provide an opportunity for the
• 6:10
  experiential knowledge of God through the worship, through all
• 6:14
  of the things that we go through.
• 6:15
  Psalm 63 one and two he says, Oh God, you are my God early will I
• 6:24
  seek you, my soul thirst for you, my flesh longs for you in a
• 6:28
  dry and a thirsty land where no water is.
• 6:32
  And it says to see your power and your glory.
• 6:36
  So as I have seen in the sanctuary, I used to read it in
• 6:39
  a certain way, but I got a new meaning when I read it in NKJV.
• 6:43
  Give it to us in the new King James.
• 6:45
  The new King James and other modern renditions put it
• 6:48
  beautifully. Verse 2 now it says to see your
• 6:53
  power. So I have looked for you in the
• 6:56
  sanctuary to see your power and your glory.
• 7:01
  Right in the sanctuary is where I encounter your power and your
• 7:04
  glory #2 We're gathered here tonight to access spiritual
• 7:09
  intelligence, and that by the knowledge of the mysteries of
• 7:15
  the Kingdom. Every gathering is an
• 7:19
  opportunity. For growth, an opportunity for
• 7:22
  enlightenment, an opportunity to access understanding Micah
• 7:28
  chapter 4. Please give it to us from verse
• 7:30
  one and. Two Micah 41 and verse 2 NLT Can
• 7:38
  we read NLT Micah four OK beautiful in the last days.
• 7:43
  Listen carefully. The mountain of the Lord's house
• 7:45
  shall be the highest of all, the most important place on earth.
• 7:51
  It will be raised above all of the hills, and people from all
• 7:54
  over the world shall stream there to worship.
• 7:58
  Verse Two, people from many nations will come and say,
• 8:02
  listen, come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the
• 8:07
  House of Jacob's God there, right there.
• 8:11
  He will teach us his ways and we will walk in his paths.
• 8:16
  He says, for the Lord's teaching will go out from Zion, His word
• 8:20
  will go out from Jerusalem. So every time we're gathered,
• 8:25
  such as tonight, we are gathered for a time of accessing light,
• 8:30
  high level illumination that gives us spiritual intelligence
• 8:35
  #3 we're here to build our. Faith.
• 8:39
  The building of a believer's faith is word dependent.
• 8:41
  It is knowledge dependent, it is conviction dependent.
• 8:46
  So the more we learn the ways of God, the more we know His will,
• 8:50
  the more we understand His precepts.
• 8:53
  Our faith is built from no faith, to little faith, to much
• 8:57
  faith, to great faith, to exceeding great faith.
• 9:01
  These are the levels of faith as taught.
• 9:04
  In Scripture, why are we gathered here tonight?
• 9:07
  To receive help, to receive mercy, to receive strength.
• 9:14
  It's another reason why we are gathered tonight.
• 9:17
  We were led to pray to thank God, and to give praise and
• 9:20
  thanks even in the midst of unfavorable situations.
• 9:24
  And that is true. Sometimes.
• 9:26
  We come to God to find help first before knowledge.
• 9:30
  There are people who are too weak to learn anything.
• 9:32
  They need help. They need mercy.
• 9:34
  They need strength first before knowledge.
• 9:38
  Hallelujah. When you get to the hospital and
• 9:41
  someone is about to die, you don't start teaching the person
• 9:44
  who is about to die the principles of health and
• 9:48
  longevity. What you need is to resuscitate
• 9:51
  that person and make sure the person does not die.
• 9:53
  When the person is fine and a lot and healed, then you can
• 9:58
  start teaching such a one how to maintain his or her health.
• 10:01
  Honestly, there are times when you come into God's presence.
• 10:04
  What you need is not some exigencies of the world.
• 10:08
  Some people just need emergency solutions.
• 10:11
  They need the mercy of God. They need strength because they
• 10:15
  come as those who are already weak and weary, you know, very
• 10:20
  sad and frustrated about life. Occasionally people send me text
• 10:25
  messages and as much as I'm able to see, I read.
• 10:29
  Sometimes the honest frustration of people, even believers, they
• 10:32
  just say apostle, I hope you are able to see my text.
• 10:35
  But I'm tired, I'm weary, I'm about to give up.
• 10:38
  Some would say I can't wait for Sunday.
• 10:40
  I've searched for every message. I'm I'm tired.
• 10:43
  Things are not working. I'm engaging the world as much
• 10:46
  as they. No one understand.
• 10:47
  It's not working for me. I need answers, you know?
• 10:50
  So when we come for a gathering like this, it's not just a time
• 10:54
  of enlightenment alone, honestly, it's a time of staring
• 10:58
  back the hope of people. That word hope is a very
• 11:01
  powerful word. Because when people lose hope,
• 11:04
  they also lose strength. Strength is connected to hope.
• 11:07
  Are we together? When people lose hope, they lose
• 11:10
  strength. Hope is what gives you the
• 11:14
  staying power, the fortitude to continue knowing that even
• 11:19
  though you're today is not yet a reflection of your desire,
• 11:22
  tomorrow can be better. So for the one who desires
• 11:25
  strength, the first thing to look for is hope.
• 11:28
  A reason to continue, a reason to stay, a reason to keep going.
• 11:33
  We're here to find help, to find mercy, to find strength, and
• 11:37
  then to find hope. Why are we here?
• 11:40
  Every time you show up, realize that you are here as part of
• 11:43
  your commitment. This one is a responsibility,
• 11:49
  part of your commitment towards Kingdom advance.
• 11:52
  The advancement of the Kingdom requires your presence, requires
• 11:56
  your participation, requires your followership, and requires
• 12:00
  your dedication. So every time you come to
• 12:02
  church, every time you show up, realize that you are adding to
• 12:06
  the numbers that are making Kingdom come possible.
• 12:09
  You are adding to the numbers that make for the.
• 12:12
  Health. The flourishing of God's church
• 12:15
  and the flourishing of His program through your prayers,
• 12:19
  through the corporate worship, through the giving, through your
• 12:22
  attention, the participation, and so on and so forth.
• 12:25
  All together it's part of your commitment towards Kingdom
• 12:29
  advance. I'll give you 2 more reasons why
• 12:32
  are we here. Every time we show up, it's an
• 12:35
  opportunity to fellowship with the Saints.
• 12:39
  God gives us opportunities through gatherings like this to
• 12:44
  enjoy fellowship one with another.
• 12:47
  I told you that our fellowship in the House of God is both
• 12:50
  vertical and horizontal. We fellowship with God through
• 12:54
  His Spirit, but then we also fellowship with one another.
• 12:57
  And in the process we build strategic relationships,
• 13:01
  strategic pro Kingdom destiny connections.
• 13:05
  Praise the name of the Lord and then finally, we are here for
• 13:09
  empowerment. Every time we gather.
• 13:12
  We are here to receive the anointing, to encounter graces
• 13:17
  in ever increasing measures. I've taught you in this house
• 13:22
  that the anointing of the Spirit is in levels and is in
• 13:26
  dimensions. Levels mean that you can have
• 13:29
  more of the same kind of anointing.
• 13:33
  Dimensions mean that you can have the anointing as touching
• 13:38
  various operations. So I'll give you an instance.
• 13:42
  A man can have what we know to be the healing anointing, but
• 13:45
  not have it to a level that can produce much for the Kingdom.
• 13:49
  Hallelujah. It's like having a recharge
• 13:52
  card. You can have say, for instance,
• 13:55
  500 naira, that's recharge card, that's not fake, that's real
• 13:59
  recharge card. But you are limited as far as
• 14:03
  the amount of time you'll be able to speak on phone is
• 14:05
  concerned versus someone who may have say 5000 or 10,000 naira
• 14:10
  recharge card. Both of you have recharge card,
• 14:12
  but one has it at a higher level.
• 14:15
  And so when we're gathered like this, God increases the level of
• 14:19
  the grace that you carry, and then he also opens you up to
• 14:22
  virgin dimensions of the anointing again.
• 14:26
  In a similar example. I can have the healing anointing
• 14:29
  and yet not have favor upon me. So I can lay hands on the sick.
• 14:35
  They can be healed, truly so, But I may live a defeated life
• 14:39
  with no one willing to invest their time, their energy, their
• 14:43
  resources, their attention towards my well-being.
• 14:46
  At such point I am anointed, but I do not have the grace for
• 14:50
  favor. So in addition to the healing
• 14:53
  anointing, the favor of God can come.
• 14:55
  Wisdom can come, you see the oldest plethora of graces and at
• 14:59
  the end of it you become a very wholesome believer who has
• 15:03
  captured within your space. The grace is required, the Bible
• 15:07
  says, and God is able to make all grace, not some grace, all
• 15:12
  grace. It's not enough to say I'm
• 15:15
  anointed. What dimension is at work in
• 15:17
  your life? And then to what level is it at
• 15:20
  work in your life? Let me turn this preamble into a
• 15:23
  prayer already for you that every level that you need to
• 15:28
  step up to in terms of the anointing, I'm praying for you
• 15:31
  from the depth of my heart. May tonight provide an
• 15:34
  opportunity for that rising in the name of Jesus and every
• 15:39
  dimension you know is useful for your spiritual efficiency, but
• 15:45
  it's not yet captured in your life.
• 15:46
  Maybe favour is still foreign in your life.
• 15:49
  Maybe wisdom is still foreign in your life.
• 15:52
  I pray for you in the name of Jesus, that under the influence
• 15:56
  of the world as it comes, let there be a deposit of those
• 15:59
  dimensions. If you're receiving, shout a
• 16:02
  louder serious Amen, Amen. So please be attentive as I'd
• 16:09
  always demand from you, and that includes those who are falling
• 16:13
  online. You are online, but you are in
• 16:15
  His presence. Let me say that again.
• 16:17
  You may be connected online, but you are in His presence.
• 16:22
  And there are no limits to the things that can happen to us
• 16:25
  when we are truly invested in His presence.
• 16:28
  There's no limits to what can happen to us when we pay
• 16:31
  attention. Hallelujah.
• 16:33
  So take away the pain, the sorrows, the confusion, and even
• 16:36
  the distraction, and let's give. A few moments of our lives to
• 16:41
  learning, to growing, and to building.
• 16:44
  You already say Amen. Now, just a quick announcement
• 16:50
  so that I get that out of the way, and then we're prepared for
• 16:54
  the word tonight. Amen.
• 17:00
  I promised us last week, if I recall, to update us about the
• 17:04
  children's session. So here's what.
• 17:08
  We're going to do. For those of you who do not know
• 17:11
  for our faith convention coming next month, you know that we're
• 17:16
  barely just weeks away. Are you excited about that
• 17:19
  already? All hands have been on deck
• 17:23
  walking day and night tirelessly to be able to host a befitting
• 17:28
  convention that becomes a blessing to the name of the Lord
• 17:32
  and then brings honor to his people.
• 17:34
  So keep us in your prayer. But for tonight, one more time
• 17:39
  we're happy. I'll just say that then I'll
• 17:41
  give the media an opportunity. They're going to present a one
• 17:44
  minute video and so all our children pay attention.
• 17:48
  Parents with children pay attention.
• 17:50
  There'll be a one minute video very quickly.
• 17:52
  The children are going to be inviting you to join them.
• 17:58
  Hallelujah. And thereafter would pray and
• 18:02
  upload and make available the link for registration.
• 18:06
  Now let me say this upfront. The registration will only be
• 18:11
  available for a period of 72 hours.
• 18:14
  Unfortunately, we're only able to take about 1000, Max 1200
• 18:19
  children. I wish we're able to do more.
• 18:21
  Hopefully we'll be able to do more in the future.
• 18:24
  But for now, that's how far we're able to go.
• 18:27
  It behooves every parent therefore, to be sensitive and
• 18:31
  please do well to register your children parents guidance and
• 18:37
  all of that and all of the other announcements will come up.
• 18:41
  I hope I don't become a distraction to the video, but
• 18:45
  I'll allow our media people. Do I need to get out of the way.
• 18:48
  OK, I can stand. OK, thank you.
• 18:50
  So media has permitted me to stand while you watch.
• 18:54
  You'll watch a one minute video very quickly afterwards.
• 18:57
  We'll just pray and then we'll get that out of the way.
• 19:00
  Media, God bless you. Hi there everybody.
• 19:10
  Guess what, it's almost November and something super important is
• 19:15
  happening today. It's the Corona General
• 19:18
  Assembly. The theme is the mandate and
• 19:21
  it's a huge deal for grown up. But me, I have my own session.
• 19:26
  That's right, there's a special dedicated children's session
• 19:31
  just for children aged 1 to 12 years old.
• 19:35
  Our theme is the best Christ in me.
• 19:39
  It comes right from the Bible, Colossians 17.
• 19:43
  In our session, we are going to learn so much.
• 19:46
  We'll discover our true identity in Christ, how to build good
• 19:50
  character and understand our responsibility in God's Kingdom.
• 19:54
  We are going to learn all about my purpose and everything Christ
• 19:57
  has planned for us. We'll have special activities,
• 20:00
  games, and surprises that our amazing teachers have prepared.
• 20:04
  All these and more will be happening on Saturday, November
• 20:07
  22nd at 9:00 AM. Mummy, Daddy, this is an
• 20:11
  invitation for you to sign up your children for the TGA
• 20:15
  Children's Session. It promises to be an amazing
• 20:18
  time in God's presence, but you only get 3 days to register.
• 20:22
  You have until Wednesday, so hurry now.
• 20:25
  Scan the code, click the link, register.
• 20:28
  Seriously. Registration will close exactly
• 20:31
  on Wednesday and I really, really don't want to miss out.
• 20:34
  And guys, see you there. Bye, bye for now.
• 20:39
  Hallelujah children, for you. So some of you have gotten into
• 20:44
  big trouble right now. For what you're watching, you
• 20:47
  can be sure you will forget what your children will recite
• 20:50
  everything they heard. And OK, so please give us the
• 20:54
  link, the registration link officially, like you heard our
• 20:57
  children telling us. This is your official link.
• 21:01
  And for those who care, I'll give you a minute or two.
• 21:03
  If you care to quickly. To do the scan and unfortunately
• 21:07
  let me say this, we're, we're only limiting it to those.
• 21:10
  Who? Will be on site, I'm not sure
• 21:13
  there's provision for children online is going to be an
• 21:17
  entirely on site business because of the nature of what
• 21:21
  will be happening with the children.
• 21:22
  So please, I'm not sure that we're doing online.
• 21:26
  There's no online provision except otherwise.
• 21:31
  Take Note is for children aged 1:00 to 12:00.
• 21:34
  So if you are both 12, maybe another one will create one for
• 21:39
  you and then registration is compulsory.
• 21:42
  Please register the children. This is because there are ethics
• 21:48
  as far as children ministry is concerned.
• 21:50
  Children ministry is more delicate than ministering to
• 21:53
  adults. So please Take note by Wednesday
• 21:57
  the 15th of October, 12 noon exactly, the doors will be shut
• 22:02
  for registration. And then we'll just walk with
• 22:04
  the numbers that we have. Now.
• 22:07
  I'll tell you this in advance. Even with the registration, we
• 22:10
  still have a screening process that will go on just to make
• 22:13
  sure that everything is in place excellently.
• 22:17
  So we thank God for this, we bless the Lynx, and we pray that
• 22:20
  in the name of Jesus, this will be an opportunity to bring
• 22:24
  healing already to hurting children, those who have had an
• 22:28
  unfortunate start in life, let this be a bridge of hope for
• 22:32
  them. In the name of Jesus Christ, the
• 22:34
  Lord bless you. Parents, please cooperate with
• 22:35
  your children. Give them a chance to make the
• 22:38
  best and the most of their opportunity.
• 22:42
  The Lord bless you in Jesus much less name.
• 22:45
  We pray and for us all preparations are ongoing.
• 22:49
  We are praying seriously. Please make sure that you give
• 22:52
  the best I want to say thank you to those who have sent text
• 22:57
  messages. They have sown seeds.
• 23:00
  They continue to lift us up consciously in prayer.
• 23:04
  I mean there are people all over the world and in this nation
• 23:07
  that even includes ministries that are connected to us as way
• 23:10
  of friends or those who look up to us for spiritual direction.
• 23:14
  Thank you already for all of the the contributions both in kind,
• 23:20
  in cash and in terms of advice and help and prayer and whatever
• 23:25
  leverage you have provided for us, we're grateful and we ask
• 23:29
  that the Lord will bless you in Jesus name.
• 23:33
  Let's sow a seed of prayer for one minute for the convention
• 23:36
  coming. Please go ahead and pray.
• 23:38
  Everyone declare by the power of the Holy Spirit that the Lord
• 23:46
  will find this convention as an opportunity to reach down to His
• 23:52
  people in such a spectacular way, blessing, enlightening,
• 24:00
  healing, imparting, challenging, stretching, building,
• 24:04
  redirecting. His people are global family.
• 24:11
  And the body of Christ and of course the nations, in fact,
• 24:15
  everyone saved or unsaved, will find value through this
• 24:20
  convention. Everyone, great or otherwise,
• 24:23
  will find value through this convention.
• 24:26
  That it will become an event that is beyond a ministry's
• 24:29
  event. You'll be a blessing to our
• 24:31
  beautiful nation. You'll be a blessing to our
• 24:34
  continent and a great contribution to the world.
• 24:39
  We pray in the name of Jesus for grace, pray for all those who
• 24:43
  are working on site, pray for the various logistics that are
• 24:49
  going on behind the scenes. We receive wisdom, we receive
• 24:52
  grace. In Jesus mighty name we pray.
• 24:59
  Amen and Amen. Make sure you do the walk of an
• 25:03
  evangelist. Please let people know
• 25:05
  everywhere. Remember, the publicity is not
• 25:08
  for you. You are part of the global
• 25:09
  family already. The publicity is for those who
• 25:13
  are outside of our global family.
• 25:15
  You don't expect to be reminded. You don't expect to be invited.
• 25:20
  The invitation is from you to every other person.
• 25:24
  So please make sure you let the world know that this is what God
• 25:28
  is doing. We'll continue to sleep in all
• 25:31
  of this publicity week in week out until the time of the
• 25:37
  conference and by the start of the new month we'll be having
• 25:43
  two weeks and we'll be fasting and praying.
• 25:46
  More details will come by next week, so please pay attention.
• 25:50
  And the Lord will bless you and the Lord will increase you in
• 25:54
  Jesus mighty name. Are we ready for tonight?
• 25:58
  Praise Jesus. Let me ask you a question.
• 26:02
  How many of you get blessed every week in and every week
• 26:06
  out? How many of you are seeing
• 26:08
  changes in your life? Genuinely so changes in your
• 26:13
  life, Your character is changing.
• 26:16
  Your understanding is changing God.
• 26:18
  Bless you. Please put down your hand your
• 26:20
  level of spiritual understanding.
• 26:23
  Or perhaps for your children, maybe your spouse, maybe your
• 26:27
  subordinates in office. The value of the Word of God is
• 26:32
  that it provides you the tools to live a meaningful, effective,
• 26:38
  and fulfilled Christian life. Victorious.
• 26:43
  One of that Hallelujah when the Word of God does not produce.
• 26:48
  Enlightenment when it does not produce.
• 26:51
  Victory when it does not produce.
• 26:54
  Advancement when it does not produce.
• 26:57
  Fulfillment. Then it is not being served
• 27:00
  properly when the Word of God is served like a meal.
• 27:04
  According to Jeremiah 3 and verse 15, it should be like a
• 27:09
  chef feeding someone. So every time we're gathered,
• 27:14
  it's like a spiritual banquet. The Bible will usually liken
• 27:18
  spiritual activities to a banquet, A feast where people
• 27:23
  are called to come and feast. And he said all things are
• 27:27
  ready. Nobody, only a very wicked
• 27:29
  person will invite people to come for a banquet, A feast, and
• 27:34
  then not put the things in place.
• 27:36
  Hallelujah. Usually they make sure that
• 27:39
  everything is in place, all the meals in their courses are
• 27:43
  ready, everything that needs to be in place is in place.
• 27:47
  And once they have all of that, then they can invite everyone as
• 27:52
  we do it locally in our nation. Once the food is ready, they
• 27:58
  turn the inscript, the inscription, and the restaurant
• 28:01
  says food is ready. And you find people coming from
• 28:05
  everywhere and they start ordering.
• 28:07
  Some will eat some and leave some.
• 28:10
  Some will attempt to eat all. Some will eat some and take some
• 28:13
  back home. But the joy of the owners of the
• 28:16
  restaurant is to see that there's patronage.
• 28:19
  The people are coming and sometimes they come in their
• 28:22
  numbers because there's a track record for good, sumptuous,
• 28:26
  healthy meal. That's what we seek to do
• 28:29
  spiritually, that every week's encounter becomes a platform for
• 28:35
  growth, for increase, increase in understanding.
• 28:39
  I've taught you that there's no superstition about becoming
• 28:43
  victorious. It is a pathway.
• 28:46
  It's not guesswork. It's not lock.
• 28:49
  Lock is not a strategy in the Kingdom.
• 28:52
  Hallelujah. And so when you submit yourself
• 28:55
  to learning, you submit yourself to be structurally mentored like
• 28:59
  I've taught you. What you are doing is
• 29:03
  communicating your partnership with God, your partnership with
• 29:06
  Destiny that you intend to evolve into a more superior
• 29:11
  version of yourself, full of. Life, knowledge, character,
• 29:15
  power, enlightenment. The kind of understanding that
• 29:19
  translates into victory. And like I've encouraged you,
• 29:22
  time without number here. Let me try that again.
• 29:25
  Every dimension you seek that you are yet to step into, please
• 29:31
  do not lose hope. The key is to continue.
• 29:34
  The key is to continue. Say someone embarks on a journey
• 29:38
  from Abuja to Lagos. If I understand correctly, it
• 29:42
  takes an average of 10 to 12 hours by road to get to Lagos
• 29:47
  from Abuja. How many of you know that if
• 29:49
  that individual is halfway the journey, the same energy it
• 29:53
  takes to return is the same energy it will take to continue?
• 29:58
  All the roads are not smooth at the same level unfortunately.
• 30:02
  Sometimes you can meet bumpy roads, harsh weather, you can
• 30:06
  meet all kinds of things on the road, but then it's a call to
• 30:10
  continue. And sometimes you see the
• 30:12
  passengers in the bus, they grow impatient, they grow tired, they
• 30:16
  are stuck into that bus. Occasionally they have to mark
• 30:19
  time for a while so that they can ease themselves, maybe grab
• 30:23
  a meal or two. But just retreating for a while
• 30:26
  does not mean they intend to go back.
• 30:28
  And sometimes, unfortunately, they will go past the 12 hour
• 30:32
  mark but they still know they will get there.
• 30:35
  Finally, you find them stepping to Lagos and they get to the
• 30:40
  park and everybody is glad to highlight for some of you.
• 30:44
  You will open your eyes and find out that sooner than you
• 30:46
  expected, you've arrived there already in the name of Jesus
• 30:50
  Christ. You will get into a place of
• 30:52
  power with God. You will get into a place of
• 30:55
  superior wisdom. You will get into a place of
• 30:58
  supernatural transformation where your life becomes a sign
• 31:02
  and a wonder. I'm saying this prophetically to
• 31:04
  you. People will look at you.
• 31:06
  In fact, you will look at yourself and not the version of
• 31:10
  you that began this journey. You will not find it again in
• 31:14
  the name of Jesus Christ. And for someone, because of your
• 31:18
  level of diligence so far, I'm telling you, it's already too
• 31:21
  late to fail. Not with the kind of knowledge
• 31:24
  you already have. Are we together unknown to you.
• 31:28
  Your submission to learning every week is you're correcting
• 31:33
  the errors of the past, the errors that you received, the
• 31:36
  errors that came from fathers, from those who went before you.
• 31:41
  Your diligence is your commitment that I desire to
• 31:46
  correct all of those errors and the Lord will honor you in Jesus
• 31:51
  name. We pray.
• 31:53
  Joining with me tonight to the School of Wisdom.
• 31:55
  We are going to be exploring a few things that connect to and
• 32:01
  relate to the subject of wisdom. By the way, please pray in the
• 32:06
  Spirit for one moment. Blessed be the name of the Lord
• 32:33
  Shabrandigi Baratoski ETA Lord, we give you praise, and we honor
• 32:42
  you by the power of the Holy Spirit.
• 32:45
  In. Jesus mighty name, we pray
• 32:49
  tonight we are going to be exploring the subject of wisdom
• 32:54
  and. It's, it's a great topic that I
• 32:59
  place premium on, not only because I've seen the benefits,
• 33:03
  the value of such in my life and the lives of others who have
• 33:06
  gone ahead of us, but I believe that it will be a great
• 33:10
  contribution to everyone. And let me request that you
• 33:15
  please lend your attention. It's a very simple discussion
• 33:20
  tonight. Or let it add face to faith and
• 33:23
  grace upon grace to everyone in Jesus name.
• 33:27
  We'll be looking at Daniel chapter 12 and verse three.
• 33:30
  They that be wise. I'll be discussing with us the
• 33:33
  culture of wise men. They that be wise.
• 33:38
  That will be our topic for tonight.
• 33:41
  We'll be exploring the culture of wise men, so the Bible says,
• 33:45
  and they that be wise. Shall shine like the brightness
• 33:49
  of the firmament or the heavens, and they that turn many to
• 33:54
  righteousness as the stars forever and ever.
• 33:58
  One more time that they that be wise if at.
• 34:02
  All they are wise, they will shine as the brightness of the
• 34:05
  firmament, and then they who turn many to righteousness will
• 34:09
  be as the stars, even forevermore.
• 34:13
  Hallelujah. The Bible talks.
• 34:17
  A lot about the value of wisdom in helping believers excel in
• 34:24
  their faith work from the Old Testament through the life of
• 34:29
  Jesus into the New Testament, we find portions of scripture that
• 34:33
  describe it to various degrees. The value of wisdom.
• 34:39
  In many instances, the Bible will go so far to contrast the
• 34:44
  wisdom and the folly of men, either through parables or
• 34:48
  through stories, through poetic expressions like we find in
• 34:53
  Proverbs, like we find in Ecclesiastes and in Psalms.
• 34:57
  So the Bible talks a lot about wisdom.
• 35:00
  It calls God, for instance, the only wise God.
• 35:04
  Now on to the king eternal, the king immortal, the king
• 35:09
  invisible, the only wise God. It describes him as the fountain
• 35:14
  of wisdom. Furthermore, that God himself is
• 35:18
  the fountain of wisdom. The Bible also lets us know that
• 35:22
  wisdom can be accessible. It can be made available to the
• 35:25
  Saints, and it can produce wonders in the life of the
• 35:29
  Saints if and when received and engaged by faith.
• 35:34
  The Bible gives us a description of various kinds of wisdom.
• 35:38
  We're not talking about that tonight, but just to add as a
• 35:42
  foundation, we talk about divine supernatural wisdom.
• 35:46
  We call it wisdom from above. We talk about earthly wisdom,
• 35:50
  earthly wisdom that is sensual, what we call common sense.
• 35:55
  And then we talk about wisdom that is of a demonic origin,
• 36:00
  engineered by your fraternity with dark spirits.
• 36:03
  They provide levels of insight that can seem to work out
• 36:07
  progress, albeit it works against the purposes of God.
• 36:12
  We also talk about scientific wisdom.
• 36:14
  Wisdom that is a product of experiment, is a product of
• 36:18
  secular learning. These are the four kinds of
• 36:21
  wisdom that the Bible provides. Again, we have wisdom from
• 36:24
  above, the highest level of wisdom, that which comes from
• 36:28
  God directly. We have sensual wisdom, common
• 36:32
  sense instincts, that which is derived from the correct use of
• 36:37
  your brain, your mind. We have wisdom that comes as a
• 36:42
  result of science. Interacting with circular
• 36:46
  knowledge can provide some level of wisdom.
• 36:49
  And then we have demonic wisdom, wisdom that is a product of your
• 36:53
  fraternity with dark or demonic spirits.
• 36:56
  And even though it may seem to produce certain levels of result
• 36:59
  eventually, it does not birth the glory of God in and through
• 37:04
  its possessor. But my discussion tonight is I
• 37:08
  want to take an angle. The Bible deploys a number of
• 37:16
  parameters in defining or describing the wise and the
• 37:22
  foolish. So in addition to letting us
• 37:25
  know that the inhabitants upon the earth can be categorized
• 37:30
  into wise and foolish, very interesting categorization, the
• 37:36
  Bible lets us know that there are those who are called the
• 37:39
  wise and those who are called the foolish.
• 37:42
  But it goes furthermore to deploy several parameters in
• 37:47
  describing the wise and the foolish.
• 37:51
  Sometimes the Bible will use their heart condition or their
• 37:55
  levels of conviction to categorize them as wise or
• 37:59
  foolish. An example it says only a fool
• 38:02
  will say in his heart there is no God.
• 38:05
  Are we together? So the person who denies the
• 38:07
  existence of the God of heaven based on Bible description is
• 38:11
  considered foolish. Then the Bible can say things
• 38:14
  like the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
• 38:19
  Are we learning now? So the Bible can use the hard
• 38:23
  condition of the people or their spiritual convictions to
• 38:26
  categorize them as wise or foolish #2 sometimes the Bible
• 38:32
  uses their attitudes to categorize them as wise or
• 38:36
  foolish. An example laziness.
• 38:40
  The Bible talks about a a a fool being a friend to a lazy man and
• 38:46
  then describes the attitude of a lazy man talking too much are we
• 38:51
  together or not being open to learn and then as against the
• 38:55
  wise it says the wise will increase in learning.
• 38:58
  So there are times the Bible uses the attitude of men to to
• 39:02
  categorize them as wise or as foolish #3 other times the Bible
• 39:09
  uses their associations to categorize them as wise or
• 39:14
  foolish. I hope we're learning already.
• 39:16
  I'm saying that the Bible uses a number of parameters in
• 39:20
  describing a person as wise or foolish #1 it uses their heart
• 39:26
  condition or their spiritual convictions to show whether or
• 39:30
  not they are wise or foolish #2 it uses their attitudes to show
• 39:36
  whether they are wise or foolish #3 the Bible also uses their
• 39:41
  associations. Popular scripture.
• 39:43
  He that works with the wise, the Bible says, shall be wise
• 39:47
  himself. Then it says, But a companion of
• 39:50
  fools shall be destroyed. So the Bible can use a man's
• 39:55
  association to show whether he's wise or foolish.
• 40:01
  And then finally, the Bible uses their results.
• 40:04
  To show whether they are wise or foolish, there are times that
• 40:09
  the Bible uses their results to show whether they are wise or
• 40:13
  foolish. Hallelujah, praise the name of
• 40:17
  the Lord. For our discussion tonight we
• 40:20
  are going to zoom down on 2 parameters that the Bible uses
• 40:25
  to validate the presence of wisdom and then one very unique,
• 40:32
  subtle but mysterious parameter in describing who a wise man is.
• 40:38
  It's going to be a short trip, but I'm praying in the name of
• 40:41
  Jesus that it will take us to a height that will be worth our
• 40:45
  stay tonight in Jesus name. Amen and Amen, praise the name
• 40:50
  of the Lord. Is someone learning already?
• 40:53
  Please go ahead and pray in the Spirit for one minute.
• 40:56
  And then we'll begin to talk using the lens of our emphasis
• 41:01
  tonight. Blessed be the name of the Lord
• 41:04
  to Jesus. Be all the.
• 41:05
  Glory in Jesus, much less name. We pray.
• 41:09
  Proverbs 21 and verse 20. Proverbs chapter 21 and verse
• 41:16
  20. The Bible says there is treasure
• 41:21
  to be desired, an oil in the dwelling of the wise.
• 41:27
  But the foolish man spended it up.
• 41:31
  Please look at that scripture carefully.
• 41:33
  As I read, there is treasure to be desired, and there is also
• 41:39
  oil in the dwelling, the habitation of the wise.
• 41:44
  It says what a foolish man spended it up.
• 41:48
  Until God opens your eyes, there are many things you would not
• 41:52
  see in this scripture. You will think that the
• 41:56
  statement is as clear as it's written there until you begin to
• 42:00
  search using the lens, the eyes of the Spirit, and you will
• 42:03
  marvel and wonder at the things that were written there that
• 42:07
  your eyes did not see. May God give us grace and give
• 42:10
  us understanding in Jesus name we pray.
• 42:13
  The first thing we learn from this scripture is that there is
• 42:17
  such a thing as the dwelling of the wise.
• 42:20
  The dwelling of the wise. The Bible says there is treasure
• 42:24
  to be desired and there is oil. Not just in the presence of the
• 42:30
  wise, not just upon the wise are we together, but in the dwelling
• 42:36
  of the wise. So there is a place where wise
• 42:40
  men are found. There is a place where foolish
• 42:43
  men are found. Are we together?
• 42:45
  Wisdom can be found in a person's life, but wisdom can be
• 42:50
  found in a place. There is a location that
• 42:54
  provides A probability for finding wisdom.
• 42:58
  There is a location that provides probability.
• 43:01
  For finding fools. Now I'm not going to mention any
• 43:04
  names, but there are places. In our world and places in our
• 43:10
  community, if you find a person in that place, most likely that
• 43:15
  person is a. Fool.
• 43:18
  I'm not going to mention the place, but there are certain
• 43:21
  places where you find people. The probability is very high
• 43:26
  that that person is a fool. Am I right there on that?
• 43:29
  There are other places. When you find someone there,
• 43:33
  particularly that they are consistent, then that person is
• 43:37
  wise. Are we learning already?
• 43:39
  So the Bible says there is the habitation of the wise.
• 43:43
  That then means there is also the habitation of a fool.
• 43:47
  You know what means what that means?
• 43:49
  When God wants to help a man to be wise, the first thing he does
• 43:54
  is he takes you to the region where wisdom is most probable.
• 43:58
  Are we together? When Satan wants to destroy a
• 44:01
  man and to turn you into a fool, he doesn't just propose foolish
• 44:06
  ideas. He takes you to a habitation of
• 44:09
  fools. And all you need to do is stay
• 44:12
  there. When you find yourself in the
• 44:14
  habitation of fools, what do you think happens to you?
• 44:19
  You begin to be indoctrinated after the manner of fools.
• 44:22
  Are we together? So the real deliverance for
• 44:25
  someone that transition from wisdom to from foolishness to
• 44:30
  wisdom is not just the arrival of information, it's a
• 44:35
  translation. There is a place you should not
• 44:38
  go to if you desire wisdom, and there is a place you should not.
• 44:42
  Live. Are we together now?
• 44:44
  If you desire wisdom, there is a place that if you continue, if
• 44:49
  you remain there, you cannot be wise.
• 44:57
  The habitation or the dwelling of the wise.
• 45:03
  So the Bible says, in addition to the wise having their
• 45:07
  dwellings, that there are two things that are found there #1
• 45:11
  treasure to be desired, not just treasures.
• 45:15
  It says there are treasures. Please give it to U.S. media.
• 45:19
  There is treasure to be desired in the dwelling of the wise.
• 45:24
  That means every time you come into the habitation or the
• 45:29
  dwelling of the wise, there are certain elements, certain things
• 45:34
  within that place. Are we together?
• 45:37
  That makes everyone there wise. Number one is that there will
• 45:41
  always be treasure to be desired.
• 45:43
  We'll talk a bit about that. Number 2, the Bible says there
• 45:46
  is oil, oil in the dwelling of the wise.
• 45:54
  The next thing I want to point out very quickly is the second
• 45:59
  sentence. The Bible makes a very profound
• 46:02
  statement. It says, but a foolish man.
• 46:07
  I thought you would say, but a foolish man does not have it.
• 46:11
  He says a foolish man spends it. A foolish man spends what the
• 46:20
  treasure and spends the. Oil, are we learning?
• 46:26
  Praise the name of the Lord. Now let's discourse the concept
• 46:30
  of treasures, because the Bible says you can know that a man is
• 46:34
  wise because when you come around his vicinity you find two
• 46:39
  things, treasure and you find oil.
• 46:42
  That if you do not find treasure and oil, that man is not wise,
• 46:47
  or that habitation is not a place of wisdom #1 The word
• 46:55
  treasure generally connotes wealth or valuable things.
• 46:59
  When we talk about treasures, women easily understand because
• 47:04
  of their their affinity for wonderful things like gold,
• 47:09
  jewelleries and all of that. Men understand too, but men
• 47:13
  understand money generally. I think for some reason men just
• 47:16
  understand papers, notes and maybe assets but women
• 47:20
  understand. Treasures a lot because.
• 47:22
  The average woman who is doing well has a small box where they
• 47:25
  hide all kinds of things, maybe gold, maybe bracelets, and
• 47:30
  depending on how expensive it is, they can create layers to
• 47:33
  hide it. Sometimes they hide it in a way
• 47:35
  as if they will never bring it out again.
• 47:38
  So the Bible says there are treasures, valuable things,
• 47:42
  things that appreciate in value. I'm giving you the general
• 47:45
  definition. When we say something is a
• 47:48
  treasure, number one, we mean there is wealth in it #2 We mean
• 47:53
  that whatever that thing is is valuable, significantly valuable
• 47:59
  #3 we mean whatever that is, that is called treasure has the
• 48:05
  power to appreciate in value and also to cause its possessor to
• 48:11
  increase in worth. I'll take that again.
• 48:14
  When we call anything treasurable or treasure, we mean
• 48:18
  number one, there is wealth in it or connected to it #2 we
• 48:24
  generally mean that thing is valuable.
• 48:28
  Whether it is a person or it's a thing, it is valuable #3 we mean
• 48:34
  that person or that thing has the capacity to appreciate in.
• 48:39
  Value. Appreciate in value and then #4
• 48:44
  that whatever that thing is can cause its possessor to also
• 48:49
  increase in wealth. So I'll give you an instance.
• 48:53
  If a woman buys a gold jewelry, whether as a neck piece or a
• 48:59
  hand, whatever, or a watch or whatever it is, let's say 1
• 49:02
  million or 2 million or 5 million or whatever amount you
• 49:05
  see, that's a lot. So to her, and justifiably so,
• 49:08
  that is a treasure. Am I right on that?
• 49:11
  Because one, there is wealth there, it can be sold for money
• 49:16
  #2 it is generally considered valuable in our world #3 it can
• 49:21
  increase in value. That woman can buy the gold
• 49:25
  jewellery or whatever, 1 million or 2 million, and leave it for
• 49:28
  2-3 years and you'll be surprised that the value can
• 49:32
  increase sometimes to double the amount or whatever it is.
• 49:36
  Are we together? And then generally speaking, it
• 49:40
  can increase the Wharf, maybe the net worth in financial terms
• 49:45
  of the person. Whatever passes all of this test
• 49:48
  is qualified to be called Treasure.
• 49:50
  Hallelujah. It is anything we consider
• 49:56
  connected to wealth valuable that sustains the power to
• 50:02
  appreciate in value and then to increase.
• 50:07
  In worth and to increase the worth of its possessor now but
• 50:12
  an extended definition to treasure now the Bible's way.
• 50:16
  And from a prophetic standpoint, treasure here also talks about
• 50:20
  knowledge, the body of knowledge that empowers the believer to
• 50:27
  walk in dominion. Please write that down.
• 50:30
  An extended definition and understanding of treasure is
• 50:34
  that it talks about the body of knowledge that empowers the
• 50:40
  believer to walk in dominion. Colossians chapter 2, please.
• 50:45
  Let's read verse 2 and 3. Colossians chapter 2 two and
• 50:50
  three Colossians 2. It says that their hearts might
• 50:54
  be comforted being needs together in love and unto all
• 50:59
  riches of the full assurance of understanding to to the
• 51:02
  acknowledgement of the mystery of God and of the Father and of
• 51:07
  Christ. Let's read verse 3 together. 1
• 51:09
  To go in whom I heed all the treasures of wisdom, and in whom
• 51:18
  are hidden, like you hide things in a container, and the Bible
• 51:23
  says these treasures are hidden in Christ, all the treasures of
• 51:28
  wisdom and treasures of knowledge.
• 51:32
  So wisdom and knowledge generally in the Bible are also
• 51:35
  regarded to us treasures. Are we learning now?
• 51:39
  So it doesn't just mean physical, mundane things that
• 51:42
  pass like gold. And you know, anything we
• 51:45
  consider valuable knowledge, spiritual knowledge is
• 51:49
  considered treasure. And the Bible says you will
• 51:54
  always find treasure to be desired in the dwelling of the
• 51:59
  wise. Every time you step into a place
• 52:03
  in order to verify whether it is the dwelling of the wise or not,
• 52:07
  it says search for the treasure. If you find the treasure of
• 52:11
  knowledge, the treasure. A compendium, a body of
• 52:16
  information that can translate anyone to work in victory and
• 52:21
  dominion. He calls that the habitation of
• 52:24
  the Wise. Hallelujah, praise the name of
• 52:29
  the Lord. Now let's look at oil very
• 52:31
  quickly. Blessed be the name of the Lord.
• 52:34
  If you're learning, say Amen. Generally from Scripture.
• 52:39
  Oil is symbolic of the anointing.
• 52:42
  Every time we talk about oil in Scripture, most times it refers
• 52:48
  to the anointing. But in this instant, I used to
• 52:52
  think it's just limited to the anointing.
• 52:55
  Until I took the time to study this myself.
• 52:59
  The Bible does not just refer to oil, limiting it to the
• 53:03
  anointing. It speaks generally about the
• 53:06
  overall process of intimacy that eventually births the anointing.
• 53:11
  So the emphasis here in describing oil from this context
• 53:16
  is not just the anointing itself.
• 53:18
  The emphasis is more on the process that leads to that
• 53:23
  anointing. Are we together?
• 53:25
  Are you understanding me so far? So it uses the word oil, but
• 53:29
  it's not just limiting it to the anointing.
• 53:31
  It rather refers to the overall process that leads to the
• 53:37
  anointing, the arrival or the increase of the anointing in the
• 53:42
  life of a man. Now he's beginning to piece
• 53:45
  together that scripture that there is treasure, a body of
• 53:50
  knowledge, spiritual information that is to be desired.
• 53:55
  Are we together? You know that when the Bible
• 53:57
  talks about treasure and desire, you will understand that when
• 54:01
  you read Genesis chapter 2 and down chapter 2, chapter 3, the
• 54:07
  fall of man, the Bible says when the woman saw of that tree,
• 54:12
  remember it was a tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
• 54:15
  She saw that it was desire to make one wise.
• 54:19
  So we're talking here of knowledge.
• 54:21
  Are we learning now? Yes.
• 54:23
  When she saw that it was good, it was pleasant to the ice, and
• 54:28
  it was a tree that was desired to make one wise Satan was.
• 54:35
  Mimicking something here. The Bible says there is treasure
• 54:38
  to be desired, that that desire will lead one to wisdom.
• 54:45
  Are we learning now? There is treasure to be desired
• 54:48
  and oil in the dwelling of the wise.
• 54:54
  Hallelujah, blessed be the name of the Lord.
• 54:58
  You will always find abundance of knowledge, abundance access
• 55:03
  to spiritual information, useful information that translates
• 55:08
  anyone from weak to strong, from small to great in the dwelling
• 55:13
  of the wise. And I said this, let me repeat
• 55:15
  it again. That oil here goes beyond just
• 55:17
  direct empowerment. It talks of the relationship and
• 55:22
  the processes that eventually leads to that empowerment.
• 55:27
  So when we talk about oil in this context, we're not just
• 55:30
  talking about the anointing alone, where our emphasis is on
• 55:34
  the relationship. Please pay attention.
• 55:38
  The dots will soon connect the relationship and the processes
• 55:42
  that eventually lead to the arrival of the anointing.
• 55:46
  Who is learning now? This is very powerful.
• 55:50
  So a quick. Recap.
• 55:51
  I said that there is the dwelling of the wise according
• 55:55
  to Scripture. That immediately suggests that
• 55:57
  there will also be the dwelling of the foolish.
• 56:00
  Are we together, the habitation, a place where wisdom can be
• 56:04
  found and a place where folly is found?
• 56:08
  And I told us generally by human instincts, that there are
• 56:11
  certain physical locations that if you find people frequent
• 56:15
  there, they are most likely foolish people.
• 56:18
  And there are places where you find people frequent friends
• 56:21
  there. It's proof that those people are
• 56:23
  wise or they are interested in wisdom.
• 56:26
  An example, for context, the House of God.
• 56:29
  When you find someone frequent a House of God like this, that
• 56:33
  person is truly wise, or that person is in desperate, honest
• 56:38
  pursuit for wisdom. Am I right on that?
• 56:41
  Praise the name of the Lord. Hallelujah.
• 56:44
  There is treasure to be desired treasure.
• 56:49
  Here our emphasis is not just on material treasure like gold and
• 56:54
  silver, but a body of spiritual information that is able to
• 56:58
  upgrade a man and bring that person to a point where dominion
• 57:03
  becomes a reality. Dominion becomes a possibility
• 57:07
  in your life. You believe that.
• 57:09
  Say Amen. All right, so let's go to the
• 57:12
  parable of the 10 virgins, Matthew chapter 25.
• 57:16
  There's something I want to show you there.
• 57:17
  We'll begin our reading from verse one.
• 57:19
  Haven't put all of these backgrounds in place.
• 57:23
  Don't lose sight of anything we've discussed.
• 57:25
  We're going to discuss something that Jesus himself taught.
• 57:28
  Jesus spoke about Kingdom mysteries in parables, and one
• 57:33
  of such parables was that of the 10 virgins.
• 57:38
  Then shall the Kingdom of heaven be likened onto 10 virgins which
• 57:43
  took their lambs. Pay attention, they took what?
• 57:47
  Their lambs. So we see from this story that
• 57:50
  they all had lambs, and the Bible says they went forth to
• 57:54
  meet the bridegroom. This is very interesting.
• 57:57
  The Bible never mentions oil here.
• 57:59
  It says they took their lamb. That means everybody's lamp
• 58:05
  already came with a measure of oil.
• 58:07
  Because there was no measure, there was no mention of anyone
• 58:11
  adding any oil to the lamp. The mention of oil was to
• 58:16
  vessels that they held extra like you'll be learning, are we
• 58:19
  together? So it is safe to suggest that
• 58:22
  these lamps they took already, someone had put oil in there,
• 58:28
  and they went forth to meet the bridegroom vest too, the Bible
• 58:31
  now says, and five of them were wise.
• 58:34
  Now pay attention. Remember what we said should be
• 58:37
  found in the dwelling of the wise treasure and oil.
• 58:41
  Five of them were wise and five of them were foolish.
• 58:44
  We cannot know that immediately from the story.
• 58:47
  Verse one and verse 2 does not contain enough information to
• 58:52
  justify as to why Jesus will call 5 wise and then foolish.
• 58:57
  Are we together? Verse 3 The Bible says they that
• 59:03
  were foolish took their lambs and took no oil with them.
• 59:12
  Now please keep that scripture there.
• 59:14
  Jesus is defining foolishness by a very unusual parameter,
• 59:19
  because until this story, we know that foolishness is a
• 59:22
  product. Of inferior decisions.
• 59:24
  Am I right on that? And now Jesus is saying these
• 59:27
  people. They took their lamb, and
• 59:31
  because they took no oil with them, even though they had lamb,
• 59:36
  he called them foolish. Notice he never called them
• 59:39
  ungodly. He never called them wicked, but
• 59:42
  he called them foolish. For context, they were all
• 59:46
  virgins and so it's safe to use a Bible language to say this is
• 59:50
  happening among believers. We're not talking of those who
• 59:53
  are outside of the fold. Are we learning now?
• 59:55
  He says they that were foolish took their lambs.
• 1:00:00
  There was already oil in that lamp, else it would not be lit.
• 1:00:05
  And they took no oil with them. Verse 4 But the wise took oil in
• 1:00:12
  their vessels with their lamps. They took oil.
• 1:00:17
  That was in the lamp, but they also took oil in their vessels.
• 1:00:23
  Oil in their vessels. Verse 5.
• 1:00:28
  While the bridegroom tarried, they all slombered and slept.
• 1:00:33
  This is a very interesting story.
• 1:00:35
  How many of them slombard? How many slept?
• 1:00:39
  Why then, were five called foolish?
• 1:00:43
  Because all 10 became tired, all 10 became weary.
• 1:00:48
  Probably all 10 complained to this bridegroom.
• 1:00:51
  Why is he wasting our time? Are we together now?
• 1:00:56
  The Bible says they all slumbered.
• 1:00:58
  I thought this information was truly useless to the story.
• 1:01:02
  Why would God leave such an information like this in the
• 1:01:05
  middle of the story? You could safely jump from verse
• 1:01:08
  4 to verse 6 and it will still add up.
• 1:01:11
  But it now said while the bridegroom this is very
• 1:01:13
  important information. The Bible is honest to tell us.
• 1:01:16
  The bridegroom tired, he stayed a while, he didn't come when he
• 1:01:21
  should come. And as a result, they all
• 1:01:24
  slumbered, they all slept. Verse 6 And then at midnight
• 1:01:32
  look at the time the bridegroom. Came.
• 1:01:34
  Not morning, not afternoon at midnight.
• 1:01:37
  Midnight represents a time of weariness, a time of
• 1:01:41
  discouragement, a time where people are packing their things
• 1:01:44
  together. The Bible says at midnight there
• 1:01:47
  was a cry. Behold, the bridegroom cometh.
• 1:01:50
  It says, Go ye out and meet him. Verse 7 Then all those virgins
• 1:01:57
  are rose and trimmed their lamb. All of them they trimmed their
• 1:02:01
  lamb. Verse 8 And the foolish said
• 1:02:05
  unto the wise. Now this is where the subject of
• 1:02:09
  foolishness or wisdom comes into play.
• 1:02:11
  The foolish said to the wise, Give us of your oil, for our
• 1:02:16
  lamps are gone out. We have lamps, but we do not
• 1:02:21
  carry extra oil. And now that we need to go and
• 1:02:24
  meet the bridegroom, we're about to step Into Darkness, because
• 1:02:27
  there's no oil to power the lamp.
• 1:02:29
  It says, Give us of your oil, for our lamps are gone out.
• 1:02:32
  Verse 9 But the wise answered and said, Not so, lest there be
• 1:02:39
  not enough for us. And you it says, But go ye
• 1:02:42
  rather to them that sell. And buy for yourselves, verse
• 1:02:47
  10, do you know that even though they they heeded to the advice
• 1:02:51
  of the wise, the Bible says while they were away to buy,
• 1:02:54
  that means they had the resources to buy it.
• 1:02:58
  They went to buy the bridegroom. Came, and they that were ready
• 1:03:03
  went in to with him to the marriage, and the door was shut.
• 1:03:09
  Verse 11 Afterwards came also the other virgin saying, Lord,
• 1:03:15
  Lord open to us. Verse 12 watch therefore, I
• 1:03:20
  mean, yeah. Verse 12 it says, but he
• 1:03:22
  answered and said, verily, verily unto you, I know you not.
• 1:03:26
  Verse 13 That will be our final verse.
• 1:03:29
  It says watch therefore for you neither nor the day or the hour
• 1:03:32
  where the. Son of Man cometh.
• 1:03:33
  Praise the name of the Lord Now of course you know that from a
• 1:03:36
  contextual standpoint this all adds up, revealing the coming of
• 1:03:40
  Jesus, redemption realities and his imminent return.
• 1:03:43
  But I'm I'm taking it from a prophetic angle to teach
• 1:03:47
  something about wisdom tonight. So the story of the 10 virgins.
• 1:03:52
  The Bible now says that they all had lambs, but that in carrying
• 1:03:58
  those lambs others factored in that there could be delay, there
• 1:04:04
  could be tiring, and they went and got oil.
• 1:04:08
  Take note, if you recall, in discussing oil in the Dwelling
• 1:04:13
  of the wise, I told you it was more of the relationship and the
• 1:04:18
  process leading to the oil than the oil itself.
• 1:04:21
  Are we together? Praise the name of the Lord?
• 1:04:23
  And then the foolish ones had the lamp, but they did not know
• 1:04:28
  how to get the oil. The emphasis for those ones was
• 1:04:33
  them that sell. There were those who they didn't
• 1:04:36
  pay attention to know those who sold, else they had the money to
• 1:04:41
  buy. And if they had met those who
• 1:04:44
  sold early, they would have told them.
• 1:04:46
  I think you will need to. Carry extra oil.
• 1:04:50
  Is someone learning now I'm about to tie out some lessons
• 1:04:53
  there. This is very powerful.
• 1:04:55
  Now I want to contrast it with another story very quickly.
• 1:04:58
  Second Kings chapter 4 Second Kings chapter 4.
• 1:05:05
  Blessed be the name of the Lord. Let's begin from verse one.
• 1:05:11
  Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the son of the
• 1:05:17
  prophets unto Elijah, saying, Thy servant, my husband is dead,
• 1:05:23
  and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the Lord.
• 1:05:29
  And the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be born
• 1:05:33
  man. Verse 2.
• 1:05:36
  And Elijah said unto her, What shall I do for thee?
• 1:05:40
  He says. Tell.
• 1:05:41
  Me. What do you have in your?
• 1:05:45
  What do you have in your he? Didn't say.
• 1:05:48
  What do you have in your life? Please pay attention.
• 1:05:51
  There is treasure to be desired and oil where in the dwelling of
• 1:05:57
  the wise. So the prophet looks at the
• 1:05:59
  woman and says, what do you have?
• 1:06:02
  I'm interested. In what is in your house, you
• 1:06:04
  said your husband was a prophet. There is a there is something
• 1:06:08
  not adding up there. You said your husband is a
• 1:06:11
  prophet and that he knew about me and you are in debt.
• 1:06:16
  Please, I want to know what is in your house.
• 1:06:18
  In other words, I want to know whether wisdom was in that
• 1:06:21
  house. There has to be an explanation
• 1:06:24
  as to why the man was a prophet. But eventually they died in debt
• 1:06:28
  and the only way to know is to investigate what was in your
• 1:06:31
  house. Tell me what is there?
• 1:06:33
  And the woman said there's nothing.
• 1:06:35
  If you are looking for treasure, I've sold everything.
• 1:06:37
  The foolish man spend at it all. He said, but there is something
• 1:06:41
  left. The prophet said no, no, keep,
• 1:06:44
  keep that scripture. Keep that scripture.
• 1:06:45
  We're building something now. She said that handmaid had not
• 1:06:50
  anything in the house and the prophet said no, something is
• 1:06:54
  wrong. She said.
• 1:06:55
  Except he said, I'm listening, what do you have?
• 1:06:58
  A pot of oil? He said.
• 1:07:01
  That's it. Truly.
• 1:07:02
  Your husband was a prophet. I don't know what happened to
• 1:07:05
  him later on, but the fact that there is oil there, it then
• 1:07:09
  means something can be done. Is someone learning now?
• 1:07:14
  There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the
• 1:07:19
  wise. So here is a prophet wanting to
• 1:07:22
  help a woman and he's saying I need to know what kind of house
• 1:07:26
  you came from. Your husband was a prophet.
• 1:07:30
  He depleted you spend everything all that's a talk of
• 1:07:33
  foolishness, but I want to help you.
• 1:07:35
  What do you have in your house? She said honestly.
• 1:07:38
  I don't have anything. In other words, there is no
• 1:07:40
  treasure there. That I can sell for whatever it
• 1:07:44
  is. It's all gone it says, but I
• 1:07:46
  have a little pot of oil. Verse three, he said go, I know
• 1:07:52
  what your problem is. Now for the. 10 virgins.
• 1:07:56
  Their problem was oil. Are we together now?
• 1:08:01
  They had the lamp, they had the vessels, but they did not know
• 1:08:07
  how to access the oil. For this woman, oil was not her
• 1:08:11
  problem. Listen carefully.
• 1:08:14
  Are we together? Oil was not her problem.
• 1:08:16
  There was already oil there. Don't mind the quantity.
• 1:08:19
  There was oil. Her problem was vessels.
• 1:08:23
  There was no vessels. And the prophet said, I will
• 1:08:25
  solve your problem. Go and borrow vessels from all
• 1:08:31
  your neighbors the same way they told the people, go and get.
• 1:08:36
  Oil from them that. Sell it says, go and borrow
• 1:08:40
  vessel from your neighbors, even empty vessels, and in borrowing
• 1:08:45
  borrow not a few. Verse 4 When you come in, shut
• 1:08:51
  the door upon you and your sons, and then pick from that oil and
• 1:08:57
  then begin to pour it inside the vessels.
• 1:09:01
  Look at this mystery. Something about the oil can do
• 1:09:06
  something to the vessels and it can save you from all of these
• 1:09:11
  troubles you are going through. Verse 5, the Bible says pay
• 1:09:15
  attention, we'll soon tie certain things up.
• 1:09:17
  Now it says she went from him and shut the door upon her and
• 1:09:22
  her sons. Who?
• 1:09:23
  Brought the vessels to her. And she poured out verse 6.
• 1:09:28
  And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said
• 1:09:33
  unto her sons, Bring me yet a vessel.
• 1:09:37
  And he said unto her, There is not a vessel anymore.
• 1:09:41
  And the oil stayed. Look at me the.
• 1:09:45
  Moment they poured the oil in the vessel, it was no longer
• 1:09:50
  oil. It became a treasure to be
• 1:09:52
  desired. And he said, now carry that
• 1:09:57
  treasure, go and sell it. Listen, it was oil because he
• 1:10:02
  was in a small vessel. But now we said transfer that
• 1:10:06
  oil, put it in vessels, give it to us, let's finish it.
• 1:10:12
  My God, I'm praying that God will open someone's eyes to see
• 1:10:15
  verse 7. Verse 7, she came and told the
• 1:10:19
  man of God and he said, go and sell the oil and pay your debt.
• 1:10:24
  Are we together? Now she could not sell the one
• 1:10:27
  in the jar. If it was all about selling oil,
• 1:10:30
  why didn't he say go and sell it to somebody, let the person know
• 1:10:34
  what to do with it? Just carry that small vessel, go
• 1:10:37
  and sell it. Say no.
• 1:10:37
  No, no, no, no, no. If you sell that little one
• 1:10:40
  there, I told you it's not just the oil he's speaking more of
• 1:10:44
  the relationship and the process that leads to increase, that
• 1:10:49
  leads to the arrival of the oil. Are we together?
• 1:10:52
  This is very powerful. Now it has become to her a
• 1:10:55
  treasure to be desired. All the people who later bought
• 1:10:58
  it were in that town and they had the money to bail her out,
• 1:11:02
  but there was no treasure to be. Desired.
• 1:11:06
  There was nothing in the house that could be desired.
• 1:11:09
  Where did the people suddenly come from, because there was now
• 1:11:13
  treasure to be desired in the dwelling of the wise?
• 1:11:17
  Are we together now for the 10 virgins?
• 1:11:21
  They had lambs. Notice they had the lambs, and
• 1:11:24
  the lamb had an infinite capacity to burn, provided
• 1:11:29
  there's oil. The difference between what they
• 1:11:33
  were carrying as 10 virgins and what that other woman were
• 1:11:36
  carrying, those ones were ordinary vessels.
• 1:11:38
  But for this virgin, it was a lamb.
• 1:11:41
  The lamb never had a problem in the story, provided there was
• 1:11:45
  oil. It will burn.
• 1:11:46
  Are we together now? The challenge was that they did
• 1:11:49
  not carry oil in their vessels and so when the lamb depleted,
• 1:11:54
  depleted, depleted, it was of no value to them again.
• 1:11:59
  And he told the people for them that virgins don't go and borrow
• 1:12:03
  more vessels. It is not vessel the lamp.
• 1:12:06
  You have come born and born, provided there's oil.
• 1:12:10
  Go to them that sell, let them teach you how to get oil.
• 1:12:15
  Bring it back quickly. But unfortunately, as they went
• 1:12:18
  there and bought and returned, the door was shut.
• 1:12:23
  But for the woman who was in trouble, he told her, go and
• 1:12:27
  borrow vessels. The oil in your house can give
• 1:12:31
  you treasures to be desired. And with that treasure things
• 1:12:35
  can change in your life. That with the presence of that
• 1:12:38
  oil producing treasure in your house.
• 1:12:41
  Please listen. Those who ignore you can now
• 1:12:44
  come to buy. It says go to them that sell.
• 1:12:47
  You will sell so much you will. Pay off your debt and live off
• 1:12:51
  the rest. I'm about to bring out a very
• 1:12:57
  powerful message. There are not many people who
• 1:13:03
  have had worse conditions like that woman #1 the Bible says she
• 1:13:07
  lost her husband. Do you know what that means?
• 1:13:11
  Most likely, her husband was the one who gave a prophetic
• 1:13:14
  direction. She was clueless about life.
• 1:13:17
  The man was a prophet and yet he died #2 the Bible says she had
• 1:13:22
  two sons, the only sons that could help her.
• 1:13:25
  The creditors. I am suspecting the people who
• 1:13:30
  bought that oil were the same people.
• 1:13:34
  I'm suspecting because the creditors obviously were wealthy
• 1:13:38
  people and because you could not pay the debt.
• 1:13:40
  They were about to take the children.
• 1:13:42
  Even though the Bible does not say but it says go and sell it.
• 1:13:47
  Who do you think will be the first the woman will call?
• 1:13:49
  Yes. Don't harass my children again.
• 1:13:52
  I now have treasure to be desired.
• 1:13:54
  Are you interested? I'm sure they would laugh at
• 1:13:56
  her. Moccatan say come to my house.
• 1:13:58
  My house has changed. It's now the dwelling of the
• 1:14:00
  wise. There's not only oil, but
• 1:14:02
  there's treasure to be desired. The Bible says when they came
• 1:14:05
  in. Are we together?
• 1:14:07
  They were able to sell it, and then she lived off the remaining
• 1:14:10
  for the rest of her life, for the rest of her life.
• 1:14:15
  You see the mysteries of the Kingdom.
• 1:14:16
  I'll teach you something. The mysteries of the Kingdom
• 1:14:19
  have to be unraveled, unraveled by the spirit of revelation.
• 1:14:23
  If not, you will look. At it as stories and never
• 1:14:26
  understand what the Bible is saying.
• 1:14:28
  Many of you have read these stories and you're just happy.
• 1:14:31
  But I'm opening you up to the mysteries.
• 1:14:35
  This is what it means to have the spirit of revelation.
• 1:14:38
  You can draw out a mystery from a story, sometimes an
• 1:14:42
  unconnected story. And then you with it, you will
• 1:14:46
  form a weapon of victory that puts you in a vantage position
• 1:14:50
  of dominion. Are we together now?
• 1:14:53
  Almost everyone here who is a believer has read these stories,
• 1:14:56
  the story of the wife, of the sons, of the prophet, and then
• 1:14:59
  of the virgins. And then we just read it and
• 1:15:01
  say, wow, good Bible story. But but the things that are
• 1:15:04
  written at four times the Bible says they are written for our
• 1:15:08
  learning so that we may find hope.
• 1:15:11
  Are we together now? Praise the name of the Lord.
• 1:15:13
  This is very powerful. They that be wise.
• 1:15:19
  So the wife of the sons of the prophet had oil, but did not
• 1:15:23
  have any vessel. What did she do?
• 1:15:27
  She was mandated by the prophet to go and borrow vessels.
• 1:15:33
  I want to. Ask you a question, if you are
• 1:15:35
  in the position of this woman, and I come as a prophet and I
• 1:15:39
  say go and borrow vessels, how do you borrow vessels #1 I hope
• 1:15:44
  you know that this woman was most likely afraid because there
• 1:15:47
  were creditors that were already coming, and yet he said go and
• 1:15:50
  borrow vessels. Question.
• 1:15:52
  I thought it was because she was in debt that she was even in
• 1:15:56
  trouble. Now the prophet is saying go and
• 1:15:59
  borrow from who? If this woman knocked your door
• 1:16:01
  and said please borrow me vessel, do you have a guarantee
• 1:16:04
  that she will return it? We together now go and borrow
• 1:16:10
  vessel and he warned her. He said don't borrow a few
• 1:16:14
  borrow. A lot of vessels.
• 1:16:17
  And then you will do something with that oil, and the union
• 1:16:21
  between that oil and that vessel will form a treasure to be
• 1:16:25
  desired. And with it you will come out of
• 1:16:28
  poverty or pain or luck, and you will be able to live in peace.
• 1:16:32
  You and your children, if you're following so far, shout aloud.
• 1:16:36
  Believe in Amen. Now, ladies and gentlemen,
• 1:16:41
  please look at me. Most people do not know that
• 1:16:50
  you're excelling, you're being anointed, you're being valuable,
• 1:16:56
  you're being enlightened, begins.
• 1:17:00
  First and foremost, I want us to reverse the story of this wife
• 1:17:05
  of the sons of the prophet. I hope you know, and I, and this
• 1:17:10
  I believe that even when her husband was alive, that oil was
• 1:17:15
  there. That oil was there with
• 1:17:19
  capacity, most likely, even though the Bible does not record
• 1:17:23
  it. I can suggest safely that that
• 1:17:26
  man probably died of depression, died of trouble, died of all
• 1:17:30
  kinds of embarrassment. You are a prophet and yet you
• 1:17:32
  are not able to pay your bills. And the oil all the while, like
• 1:17:36
  you've heard me say, that oil kept shouting, there, I have the
• 1:17:40
  power to set you free. I have the power to create
• 1:17:43
  treasure in your house. But they did not pay attention
• 1:17:46
  to the oil till he died. The woman was in trouble.
• 1:17:49
  It was the prophet who helped her see that in your very house
• 1:17:53
  there there is something you can engage with that can bring you
• 1:17:57
  out. Are we together now?
• 1:17:59
  Let me tell you this, ladies and gentlemen, every time you want
• 1:18:04
  to grow in wisdom and every time you want to live a life of
• 1:18:08
  dominion, a life of grace, a life of power, please listen.
• 1:18:14
  The foundation of that journey is your relationship with the
• 1:18:19
  Holy Spirit. Everybody, please listen.
• 1:18:22
  Please, please listen. Please listen.
• 1:18:26
  Your relationship with the Holy Spirit is what will give
• 1:18:31
  relevance even to your Bible study is what will give
• 1:18:37
  relevance to everything at work in your life, the anointing that
• 1:18:41
  eventually comes to your life, your level of spiritual
• 1:18:44
  illumination that will make the nation's desire you.
• 1:18:49
  Now here's how most people do it.
• 1:18:52
  They want to be great, they want to be anointed, they want to be
• 1:18:58
  valuable, they want to be treasures.
• 1:19:01
  They want the nations to place a demand on them.
• 1:19:04
  But the way that they go about it is in pursuit for vain
• 1:19:09
  connections, in pursuit for things.
• 1:19:12
  They just feel by the arm of the flesh, by the strength of man,
• 1:19:16
  they'll be able to achieve the things.
• 1:19:18
  So can you lift me? Can you endorse me?
• 1:19:20
  Can you open up doors for me? But they do not know that.
• 1:19:23
  That's not how it happens in the Kingdom.
• 1:19:25
  The first thing that happens is to deal with that oil issue.
• 1:19:29
  That's what the prophet told the woman.
• 1:19:31
  Forget about your situation. You have power to change
• 1:19:35
  everything. But start with your
• 1:19:37
  relationship. The awareness that that
• 1:19:40
  supposedly small. Oil in your house, if you can
• 1:19:43
  engage with it, if you can connect with that oil, that can
• 1:19:47
  become the basis, the basis she needed to place value.
• 1:19:52
  On the oil. It was not just that the oil
• 1:19:55
  multiplied, it was that she agreed with the Prophet and
• 1:19:59
  placed value on that oil. That oil there right there,
• 1:20:03
  ladies and gentlemen is not the anointing that that oil right
• 1:20:08
  there is a is a typology of a functional relationship.
• 1:20:12
  With the Holy Spirit. If you do not have a functional
• 1:20:18
  relationship with the Holy Spirit, you can never access the
• 1:20:22
  wisdom that is from above. There are certain possibilities
• 1:20:26
  that will be foreign to your life until you place value on
• 1:20:29
  the Holy Spirit. You don't have a job?
• 1:20:32
  I agree. You, nobody knows you.
• 1:20:34
  You don't have fame. There's no treasure to be
• 1:20:37
  desired. But it stands with you, placing
• 1:20:40
  value on your relationship with the Holy Spirit.
• 1:20:43
  As you begin to relate with the Holy Spirit, I tell you what
• 1:20:46
  begins to happen to you. Sometimes you may not even need
• 1:20:49
  to go and start borrowing vessels.
• 1:20:51
  It is you, the vessel, who starts expanding.
• 1:20:55
  Are we together now? You begin to expand to a
• 1:20:59
  capacity where you be, the treasure now becomes inside you.
• 1:21:03
  It is not always that you have to go out and borrow external
• 1:21:07
  vessels. Sometimes you need to be that
• 1:21:10
  vessel yourself that expands in the place of fellowship with the
• 1:21:15
  Holy Spirit until that oil begins to be poured out into
• 1:21:19
  you, emptied out into you. The mystery is that the Bible
• 1:21:23
  never tells us that tiny jar of oil was spent.
• 1:21:26
  It was filling orders, and yet it was not spent.
• 1:21:30
  That's no ordinary oil. Your relationship with the Holy
• 1:21:38
  Spirit. There are people who desire
• 1:21:40
  power. But what they do is to go
• 1:21:43
  straight to look for someone who has a healing anointing and say
• 1:21:47
  impacts the anointing on me. I don't care about any
• 1:21:49
  relationship. I just want to read a book on
• 1:21:51
  prosperity. I just want to do whatever so
• 1:21:54
  that I'll be great. I'm telling you, it's a big
• 1:21:56
  mistake. Most people are making The
• 1:21:58
  journey to greatness. The journey to wisdom begins
• 1:22:02
  when you acknowledge the value of the Holy Spirit in your life,
• 1:22:08
  the value of fellowship, the value of staying with him, the
• 1:22:12
  value of engaging in prayer. People may not like you when you
• 1:22:16
  start, but you just keep up with Him.
• 1:22:18
  The Holy Spirit is the one who makes treasures out of man.
• 1:22:21
  There is no other way to be valuable.
• 1:22:24
  You can be educated all you want.
• 1:22:26
  I tell you, in the world of man, full of sentiments, nobody will
• 1:22:31
  desire you. He's the one who brings beauty
• 1:22:34
  and brings glory to an ordinary life as you stay with Him, as
• 1:22:38
  you walk with him. No wonder the Lady Esther, I'm
• 1:22:43
  not sure she was born ugly, But when it was time for her to get
• 1:22:47
  to the king, she. Hey, Guy said, listen, I want to
• 1:22:50
  give you something. Take to your chamber.
• 1:22:52
  There's a little oil I'm going to give to you.
• 1:22:55
  You just keep rubbing that oil every day.
• 1:22:58
  Interact with that oil. That's all you need to go and
• 1:23:01
  do. Stand before the king.
• 1:23:03
  He doesn't really need your English.
• 1:23:05
  He doesn't really need whatever sentiments.
• 1:23:07
  If you can with that oil, you will be queen.
• 1:23:11
  They that be wise, they shall shine like the firmament of the
• 1:23:16
  heavens. Ladies and gentlemen, listen to
• 1:23:19
  me. Most of the people you celebrate
• 1:23:23
  today, they did not start with knowledge.
• 1:23:26
  They started with fellowship. It was fellowship that pushed
• 1:23:32
  them to knowledge. Knowledge pushed them to faith.
• 1:23:38
  Faith push them to glory. You see that now.
• 1:23:43
  But what most people are doing is that they are disregarding
• 1:23:47
  their relationship with the Holy Spirit.
• 1:23:50
  And all they focus on is just getting intellectual knowledge
• 1:23:54
  because they believe once I am sound.
• 1:23:57
  I hope you know you can be intelligent and yet not be a
• 1:24:00
  solution. It is one thing to be
• 1:24:02
  intelligent, but the world gravitates towards solution
• 1:24:06
  providers, not just intelligent people.
• 1:24:08
  You can be intelligent all you want, if you cannot solve my
• 1:24:12
  problem, you are useless to me. I salute you for your mind, but
• 1:24:15
  I will gravitate and pay the person who is a solution
• 1:24:19
  provider many people are bragging with.
• 1:24:21
  Intellect. I'm not, and I'm not against
• 1:24:23
  that. There's a place for
• 1:24:24
  intelligence, but there are many intelligent people who cannot
• 1:24:28
  solve the problems in our world. What do you have in your house?
• 1:24:35
  When God wants to help you, let me tell you what He does.
• 1:24:40
  He takes you to the dwelling of the wise.
• 1:24:43
  The moment you get to the dwelling of the wise, there are
• 1:24:46
  two things you must look for, oil and treasure.
• 1:24:51
  And if you don't find treasure fine oil the capacity to build a
• 1:24:56
  relationship, please listen to me.
• 1:24:59
  That means if you want to make a man wise, send him where he can
• 1:25:03
  meet the Holy Ghost. Send that man where he can start
• 1:25:07
  a relationship to the Holy Ghost.
• 1:25:08
  Send him to a man of God. Send him to a place.
• 1:25:12
  It's called the dwelling of the wise.
• 1:25:14
  The person may not have gifts, may not have talent, may not
• 1:25:17
  even be wise, but you. Send that person.
• 1:25:20
  Where he can find the Holy Ghost, He has begun his journey
• 1:25:23
  to wisdom and greatness. When you find the Holy Spirit
• 1:25:28
  and begin to engage with your relationship, your relationship
• 1:25:31
  growing functionally in prayer, let me tell you this.
• 1:25:35
  Ladies and gentlemen, I hope you know the Holy Spirit is a real
• 1:25:38
  spirit. If you have not built intimacy
• 1:25:42
  with the Holy Spirit, you will never believe the things people
• 1:25:44
  are saying. The Holy Spirit is not a demon.
• 1:25:48
  The Holy Spirit is a real spirit, is the Spirit of God.
• 1:25:51
  You know what happens when the Holy Spirit begins to walk with
• 1:25:55
  a man? My goodness, His assignment.
• 1:25:57
  All that goes into his he's. Turning you into a treasure
• 1:26:01
  unknown to you, the revelation. He opens up the scripture and
• 1:26:05
  line after line, precept after precept, He recommends you to a
• 1:26:09
  message, a place, a conference, a meeting.
• 1:26:12
  All of that is building you. Very soon the nations will begin
• 1:26:16
  to desire you and say where? Where have you been?
• 1:26:19
  We need you, we need you. There is treasure and oil to be
• 1:26:23
  desired in the dwelling of the wise.
• 1:26:28
  Now let me tell you this, ladies and gentlemen, please hear me,
• 1:26:31
  please hear me, please hear me. Every time there is access to
• 1:26:40
  oil, but you are still struggling, it is a capacity
• 1:26:45
  problem. You need to build capacity.
• 1:26:50
  I'm I'm going to bring a very strong balance right now, but
• 1:26:54
  every time there are plenty vessels, but there's no impact.
• 1:26:59
  You need to go and check that there's an oil problem.
• 1:27:03
  You see these two problems. These are the major problems.
• 1:27:07
  We believe us in the body of Christ.
• 1:27:10
  There are believers in the body of Christ.
• 1:27:12
  Their issue is not an information problem.
• 1:27:15
  They have a bond dance of information, but their spirit
• 1:27:19
  man has not been quickened. They do not understand the
• 1:27:22
  dynamics of intimacy, of fellowship or prayer.
• 1:27:25
  They will speak intelligently, intellectually, but you will see
• 1:27:29
  a gap between what they know and their experience.
• 1:27:32
  You can't deny that what they know is right, but they cannot
• 1:27:36
  give life to what they know because oil is missing.
• 1:27:40
  Are we together now? But there are many people who
• 1:27:43
  have the oil, but they have not maximized their interaction with
• 1:27:48
  the Holy Ghost. They pray, they fast, but they
• 1:27:51
  have not contended for superior knowledge.
• 1:27:54
  Their relationship with the Holy Ghost was tampered with, with
• 1:27:58
  the bias of religion and sometimes in giving themselves
• 1:28:01
  to prayer, fasting and the world.
• 1:28:03
  It did not lead them to the world.
• 1:28:05
  One of the ways you know I taught you when teaching you on
• 1:28:08
  discerning of spirits, the Holy Spirit.
• 1:28:10
  Will always lead you to the world.
• 1:28:16
  Don't tell me you have been in a relationship with the Holy
• 1:28:18
  Spirit for long and yet the more you grow in your relationship,
• 1:28:21
  you disregard. The word of God is a familiar
• 1:28:24
  spirit. If it is the Holy Spirit, He
• 1:28:26
  will always lead you to the light of Scripture.
• 1:28:30
  Are we together? Now it is possible to read the
• 1:28:33
  Bible religiously and at the end of it have a lot of head
• 1:28:37
  knowledge and not be able to prove it with your life.
• 1:28:42
  You can be a vessel, but an empty one.
• 1:28:46
  Are we together now? It is not the empty vessel that
• 1:28:50
  the people came to buy from. They came to buy from vessels
• 1:28:54
  that were full. Even if the vessel is available.
• 1:28:57
  It needs to be full before it becomes a treasure to be
• 1:29:01
  desired. Hallelujah.
• 1:29:12
  I look at my life today and I don't trace my journey to
• 1:29:18
  knowledge first. I trace my journey to a
• 1:29:22
  relationship. Once Upon a time, my life was
• 1:29:27
  like this woman. There was probably nothing
• 1:29:32
  within my house, but the first thing was that little jar of
• 1:29:36
  oil. Start from there.
• 1:29:39
  That relationship with the Holy Spirit, your prayer, every time
• 1:29:44
  you're respecting His ministry and He begins to quicken you, He
• 1:29:49
  begins to help you. He begins to lead you to the
• 1:29:52
  Word. When He leads you to the Word,
• 1:29:55
  He stops you from seeing how much of a treasure you are
• 1:29:58
  becoming. So it does not distract you, but
• 1:30:00
  my goodness, something is happening, the Spirit of God.
• 1:30:04
  In partnership with the Word of God, He's turning you into a
• 1:30:07
  vessel of glory. He's transiting you from a
• 1:30:10
  vessel of wood clay to a vessel of silver and gold.
• 1:30:14
  A time will come. Listen to me where you step out,
• 1:30:18
  and you will. See that?
• 1:30:19
  You yourself is not just that there is a treasure to be
• 1:30:22
  desired. You have now become the treasure
• 1:30:25
  to be desired. It is true.
• 1:30:29
  It is true. You have become the treasure to
• 1:30:32
  be desired because you are full of the Holy Ghost.
• 1:30:35
  You are full of the wisdom that comes from Him.
• 1:30:38
  You are full of the power that comes from Him.
• 1:30:40
  You are full of the grace that comes from Him.
• 1:30:43
  Are we together now and because of that?
• 1:30:46
  The nations will begin to look for you.
• 1:30:48
  I can tell you this, it will solve more than economic
• 1:30:52
  problems. It says live with the rest.
• 1:30:55
  What does that mean? Live with this formula that
• 1:30:58
  every time you see depletion. Remember the oil, the vessels
• 1:31:04
  and make sure while you are doing that business your door is
• 1:31:07
  short. The prophet is saying, I've
• 1:31:09
  given you the formula. There's no reason to be weak
• 1:31:11
  again. There's no reason to be beggarly
• 1:31:13
  again. The moment you find out you are
• 1:31:15
  in debt, your relevance is going, your life is depleted,
• 1:31:19
  you are not rising. Nobody's placing a demand.
• 1:31:22
  He didn't say go out and start shouting.
• 1:31:24
  He said enter your house. If it is true that you are in
• 1:31:28
  the dwelling of the wise, check well, you will find out that
• 1:31:32
  there is capacity to start a relationship with the Holy
• 1:31:35
  Ghost. You may not be called pastor,
• 1:31:38
  you may not be called businessman, you may not be
• 1:31:41
  maybe educated or uneducated, unfortunately, but he says start
• 1:31:44
  with the Holy Ghost. If you can start from there, He
• 1:31:48
  will expand you. He will expand you, you as a
• 1:31:51
  vessel, He will expand you. And what begins to happen is
• 1:31:55
  that that oil that comes from him, the plethora of graces, the
• 1:31:59
  graces of favor, the graces of, you know, whatever it is, it
• 1:32:03
  begins to be poured into you. I'm telling you, soon you will
• 1:32:07
  find out that you are, you don't just have vessels to be desired.
• 1:32:11
  You are that vessel yourself. You are that vessel.
• 1:32:17
  And like the virgins, you become that lamb that bonds, and you
• 1:32:24
  find out that you have mastered how to pour oil consistently.
• 1:32:30
  Consistently, the Bible says the fire upon the altar, it shall
• 1:32:35
  never go down. But the way you keep it burning
• 1:32:38
  is by adding wood and adding oil everyday.
• 1:32:42
  If you don't, the fire does not keep itself.
• 1:32:45
  The fire is sustained by a technology.
• 1:32:48
  Are we together, the ability to put wood together and to keep
• 1:32:52
  adding oil, that is what will make the fire to keep burning.
• 1:32:55
  And for as long as the fire keeps burning, everyone will
• 1:32:59
  come to find out what it is. Hear me, ladies and gentlemen,
• 1:33:04
  the wise in the Kingdom are tested by these two parameters,
• 1:33:11
  the treasure to be desired. If you truly are following the
• 1:33:17
  way of wisdom, no matter how weak, inferior from a village
• 1:33:23
  you are, eventually there will be a treasure in your life that
• 1:33:27
  the nations will look for. It is impossible to dwell with
• 1:33:33
  the wise, and after a while the nations will not find something
• 1:33:37
  in your life to be needed. It's not true.
• 1:33:40
  It's not true, of course. I'm not a beautiful lady.
• 1:33:44
  I'm not a handsome gentleman. Well, I don't know what to tell
• 1:33:47
  you. What I can tell you.
• 1:33:48
  There is treasure to be found in the dwelling of the wise.
• 1:33:52
  And that treasure is a reaction. It is the oil that gives value.
• 1:33:57
  It produces that treasure because everyone is looking for
• 1:34:02
  it. Everyone wants to partake of the
• 1:34:04
  blessings that come with that oil.
• 1:34:06
  Can I tell you even those who do not respect the Holy Spirit are
• 1:34:10
  looking for what only the Holy Ghost can?
• 1:34:12
  Give, and because they cannot find him, they find the
• 1:34:17
  carriers. I show you the key and the cure
• 1:34:20
  to complex, to inferiority. Stay with him, start with him.
• 1:34:25
  Don't tell me about your background, start with him.
• 1:34:28
  You're not the first to start from the lowest point.
• 1:34:31
  If everyone is ignoring you, don't go around crying and say
• 1:34:35
  nobody likes me. Nobody likes an empty vessel and
• 1:34:38
  nobody likes to be in the dwelling where there is no
• 1:34:41
  treasure. The key is desire, the treasure
• 1:34:45
  to be desired. Found in the dwelling of the
• 1:34:48
  wives. I said this with all due
• 1:34:51
  respect, as a man of God, your dwelling cannot be called the
• 1:34:55
  dwelling of the wise until these two things are found.
• 1:34:58
  Oil and treasure in this case, the treasure being the word of
• 1:35:02
  God, the treasure being the power life applicable teachings.
• 1:35:06
  When you go to a company of friends, how do you know they
• 1:35:10
  are wise? Look for their spiritual
• 1:35:13
  understanding and their relationship with the Holy
• 1:35:15
  Ghost. If you find out that they do not
• 1:35:18
  have a functional relationship with the Holy Spirit and their
• 1:35:21
  spiritual understanding is not word compliant, you are not in
• 1:35:25
  the dwelling of the wise. You may be in the dwelling of
• 1:35:29
  the rich, you may be in the dwelling of the educated, but
• 1:35:33
  you're not in the dwelling of the wise.
• 1:35:35
  What, therefore, is called wisdom in the Bible, among other
• 1:35:38
  parameters is the presence of the oil and the presence of
• 1:35:45
  treasures. You may not have money, but talk
• 1:35:51
  to me. Let me hear your level of
• 1:35:53
  spiritual understanding. I know whether you will be
• 1:35:56
  desired tomorrow or not. Ladies and gentlemen, please
• 1:36:00
  hear me. Please hear me.
• 1:36:03
  Do you know why the world is looking for orders?
• 1:36:07
  I'm paying any price to look for orders in the Kingdom while
• 1:36:10
  ignoring orders. It is not tribal sentiments.
• 1:36:14
  No, it is that orders have discovered.
• 1:36:17
  I can tell you something the Holy Spirit told me while
• 1:36:20
  preparing this. He said in every lamp there is
• 1:36:25
  already a measure of oil. Every lamb, the moment you are
• 1:36:29
  born again, there is a measure of anointing already in you.
• 1:36:32
  That anointing is supposed to be cultivated.
• 1:36:35
  It drives you into hunger with the Holy Spirit, that oil that
• 1:36:39
  is inexhaustible. When you stay there and begin to
• 1:36:43
  interrupt with the Holy Spirit, from fellowship it moves to
• 1:36:47
  revelation from the world. From revelation it moves to
• 1:36:50
  faith and conviction. You see right there you begin to
• 1:36:54
  see the fruits of wisdom exploit mighty works greatness.
• 1:36:58
  You become not just that, you have the treasure to be desired
• 1:37:03
  and nations will look for you and you will be able.
• 1:37:06
  It will solve financial problems.
• 1:37:08
  It will solve complex problems. All kinds of problems will be
• 1:37:12
  solved when you have treasure to be desired and oil.
• 1:37:18
  This is a way of wisdom. This is a way of wisdom.
• 1:37:24
  I've studied the subject of low self esteem.
• 1:37:29
  There are many people today who want to become like others.
• 1:37:35
  And the reason they want to become like others is because
• 1:37:38
  they like the results that they see sincerely so in the life of
• 1:37:42
  others. And they hope that by becoming
• 1:37:46
  like others, they it will be a cure to that state of rejection,
• 1:37:51
  Poverty, whatever it is, in every house that God built,
• 1:37:57
  there is oil there. It is only that we have not been
• 1:38:00
  trained. I've come as Elijah to tell you,
• 1:38:03
  go back and check your house. Stop admiring the House of
• 1:38:07
  someone else in your own house too.
• 1:38:10
  As old as that house is, as empty as that house is, there is
• 1:38:14
  treasure, but the treasure does not come as something to sell
• 1:38:21
  immediately. That treasure comes as that oil.
• 1:38:24
  Start from there, your fellowship with the Holy Spirit,
• 1:38:29
  your walk with God. You begin to learn the ways of
• 1:38:32
  God. You know what happens.
• 1:38:34
  He begins to increase your capacity.
• 1:38:37
  Akin to borrowing vessels. The materials you are going to
• 1:38:42
  be learning may not come from you, but they are useful to you.
• 1:38:45
  God will lead you to people and lead you to things.
• 1:38:48
  You begin to acquire strategic knowledge and expansion begins
• 1:38:52
  to happen in your life. Can I tell you ladies and
• 1:38:54
  gentlemen, the moment you have treasure or you become the
• 1:38:58
  treasure, I promise you, by the integrity of God's Word, you
• 1:39:02
  have found the cure to loneliness.
• 1:39:04
  You have found the cure to complex.
• 1:39:06
  No matter how you hide, the nations will fish you out.
• 1:39:10
  They don't fish you just because of who you are alone, but they
• 1:39:14
  will also look for you because because of something that is in
• 1:39:17
  you. Do you know this?
• 1:39:22
  The treasure is not really really the vessel.
• 1:39:28
  It is the oil. Here's how the Bible puts it.
• 1:39:31
  But there is this treasure. But there is this treasure in
• 1:39:39
  ethane vessels. How did the treasure get there?
• 1:39:44
  By invitation. But we have this treasure.
• 1:39:49
  The treasure is in Ethan vessels.
• 1:39:51
  When he told the woman, borrow vessels, borrow not a few, he
• 1:39:55
  began to pour the oil. They called the whole vessel and
• 1:39:59
  everything treasure. But the real treasure is the oil
• 1:40:03
  being poured in an ordinary vessel.
• 1:40:05
  It changed the worth of the vessel and changed the worth of
• 1:40:08
  the possessor of the vessel. The treasure is not your
• 1:40:14
  background. The treasure is not your looks.
• 1:40:17
  Unfortunately, the treasure is not even your ability to speak
• 1:40:21
  or not. The real treasure is the gift of
• 1:40:24
  God growing in you through relationship.
• 1:40:27
  The. Capacity, the knowledge bank
• 1:40:30
  that is being increased and the exploits that come from that
• 1:40:34
  dimension of knowledge. And don't think I am limiting
• 1:40:37
  this justice to, you know, Spirit talk and ministry and all
• 1:40:41
  of that. When the Holy Spirit gains room
• 1:40:44
  in your life, He will turn you into a technological wonder.
• 1:40:47
  He will turn you into an economic wonder.
• 1:40:50
  So I'm not just limiting this to ministry.
• 1:40:53
  So you don't think, OK, So what do I do now that I'm not in
• 1:40:56
  ministry? The Holy Spirit is not for
• 1:40:58
  ministers. He turns every man, any man
• 1:41:01
  whatsoever, into a treasure. They that be wise are those who
• 1:41:15
  will pursue the oil and the treasure.
• 1:41:20
  Every time you enter the dwelling of a wise man, take
• 1:41:23
  your eyes away from the gifts. When you see a man God has
• 1:41:27
  helped, don't look at the car. Don't look at the house, don't
• 1:41:31
  look at the titles, don't sit down and be taking selfie around
• 1:41:35
  the house. You are not being wise.
• 1:41:37
  Quickly find where the oil is and find where the treasure is.
• 1:41:41
  When you sit down with wise men, don't just ask them for money,
• 1:41:45
  ask them for the oil. Teach me about your relationship
• 1:41:49
  with the Holy Ghost and give me access to knowledge, the body of
• 1:41:53
  knowledge that has. Made you who you are.
• 1:41:57
  You see that we make these mistakes in our world.
• 1:41:59
  When we see great people, especially great in the Kingdom,
• 1:42:03
  we care less about the things that really make them great.
• 1:42:07
  We are happy about all the results that follow, maybe
• 1:42:10
  material things, money, fame. And very quickly we want to
• 1:42:15
  partner with the fame instead of learning how to replicate it in
• 1:42:18
  our lives. Oh, can I take a quick?
• 1:42:23
  Selfie with you Taking a selfie with a wise man does not make
• 1:42:26
  you wise. No, no, no.
• 1:42:31
  Rather you are implicating yourself because when you show a
• 1:42:34
  photo with a wise man and you behave foolish, people say where
• 1:42:38
  is this one coming from? Every time I have the
• 1:42:44
  opportunity to meet with wise men, I careless about every any
• 1:42:49
  material blessing or whatever it is.
• 1:42:51
  I'm looking for the treasure. I want to see the man's
• 1:42:55
  relationship. What are your secrets with the
• 1:42:58
  Holy Ghost? What are your prayer secrets?
• 1:43:02
  What are your intimacy secrets with the Holy Ghost?
• 1:43:05
  That's what keeps that oil. That's what multiplies it.
• 1:43:08
  In that vessel called you. Show me the level of spiritual
• 1:43:13
  understanding you have and give me access to the body of light
• 1:43:18
  God has shown you. That's how to make men wise.
• 1:43:21
  I'll tell you this, ladies and gentlemen, and I say this with
• 1:43:24
  all humility, I have given people money in my life.
• 1:43:27
  I have given people physical gifts in my life.
• 1:43:30
  I've helped people in my life. But that in itself has not made
• 1:43:34
  them wise. The greatest way to make men
• 1:43:37
  wise is not to give them gifts, is to bring them to the dwelling
• 1:43:42
  of the wise, Bring them there. You cannot keep a man in the
• 1:43:48
  dwelling of fools and try to make him wise there.
• 1:43:51
  No, there is a way fools behave. You have to quarantine that
• 1:43:56
  person out from the dwelling of fools to the dwelling of wise
• 1:43:59
  men. Are you seeing why God will
• 1:44:01
  bless some of you who have brought people to church today
• 1:44:04
  and brought people to church any other day?
• 1:44:06
  Because you are taking them out. From a place where it looks like
• 1:44:10
  they are only multiplying hopelessness, making decisions
• 1:44:14
  that keep depleting them, you have brought them to the
• 1:44:16
  dwelling of the wise. Now it is my assignment to show
• 1:44:20
  them, like the Prophet showed the woman, that there is
• 1:44:24
  something in your house. There is a possibility to begin
• 1:44:28
  to interact with that oil, that relationship with the Holy
• 1:44:31
  Ghost. You can start with your prayer
• 1:44:33
  life. You can start with fasting.
• 1:44:35
  You can start with your intimacy.
• 1:44:37
  He may not show you are a businessman.
• 1:44:40
  Don't talk to me about the Holy Ghost.
• 1:44:42
  I just want to talk about money. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
• 1:44:44
  You are making a mistake. There is what the Holy Ghost can
• 1:44:47
  show you. He can give you the treasures in
• 1:44:49
  darkness, the hidden riches of. I mean, He will show you things
• 1:44:53
  beyond your wildest imagination. Don't limit the Holy Spirit to
• 1:44:57
  the pulpit. He's the one who makes treasures
• 1:45:00
  out of ordinary men. Then He will place something
• 1:45:04
  upon your life, place something upon your destiny.
• 1:45:08
  It becomes impossible to be ignored at that point.
• 1:45:13
  You are not only carrying treasures, you become the
• 1:45:16
  treasure yourself. Gentiles now come to you.
• 1:45:24
  They are kings now come to the brightness of your rising.
• 1:45:28
  And how many of you know that when kings come, they don't come
• 1:45:30
  empty. They will come bearing gifts.
• 1:45:33
  They will bring more gifts than you ever desired in your life.
• 1:45:36
  I'm telling you, don't let the devil fool you and say people
• 1:45:39
  are going ahead. They are getting richer.
• 1:45:41
  You are not getting anything with God, with the Holy Ghost.
• 1:45:44
  That means you don't. Know the Holy Spirit Anytime you
• 1:45:47
  credit weakness to the Holy Spirit is because you don't know
• 1:45:50
  Him or you are not engaging. The Holy Spirit can be in your
• 1:45:55
  life like the oil was in the woman's life.
• 1:45:58
  His presence, there's not what makes a difference.
• 1:46:00
  It is your honor to His presence and you're engaging with him by
• 1:46:05
  faith. Apostle, I'm born again, I'm
• 1:46:10
  filling the Holy Ghost. Let me see what you have been
• 1:46:12
  doing with your tongues. Let me see what you have been
• 1:46:14
  doing with your time of prayer. Don't just tell me you have
• 1:46:17
  filled with the Holy Ghost. Have you utilized this ministry?
• 1:46:20
  His person, His office. Have you allowed him to open up
• 1:46:24
  the word of God to you? This is a very powerful secret.
• 1:46:37
  It will take you a while for this thing to enter your spirit,
• 1:46:40
  but when it does, you will rejoice.
• 1:46:43
  You will rejoice. You're my glory, the lifter up
• 1:46:49
  of my head. You're my glory.
• 1:46:55
  You're the lifter up of my head. You're my glory.
• 1:47:02
  The Leafs are up of my head. You know, listen, I look at my
• 1:47:09
  life today and and honestly, without sounding proud, I look
• 1:47:14
  at some of the things that God has done and is doing through my
• 1:47:17
  life. And sometimes I find myself
• 1:47:22
  looking at myself in the mirror and I just say, what if I
• 1:47:26
  disrespected the Holy Spirit? What if I eat not the Holy
• 1:47:31
  Spirit? What if I believed in a lie that
• 1:47:35
  you could not make greatness out of a man?
• 1:47:37
  What would have become of my life?
• 1:47:39
  Only God knows where on earth I would have been right now.
• 1:47:43
  Frustrated, maybe struggling maybe, maybe some of you people
• 1:47:48
  that would have been helping me. Now you'd have just a look at a
• 1:47:50
  young man wasting his destiny. I'm speaking to someone.
• 1:47:55
  Some lady, some guy. You may never know how far the
• 1:48:00
  Holy Ghost can take you, ladies and gentlemen, the same way you
• 1:48:03
  look at an aircraft. You don't know how far that
• 1:48:06
  aircraft can go until you enter it.
• 1:48:09
  You. Respect that aircraft, it will
• 1:48:11
  pick. You and you will.
• 1:48:12
  Fly above the storms, 40,000 feet above sea level.
• 1:48:17
  It will fly as if seas don't exist, as if mountains don't
• 1:48:20
  exist. It will take you sometimes to
• 1:48:22
  virgin places and land. You with honor.
• 1:48:56
  Listen, what are the treasures that He brings to your life?
• 1:49:01
  Many. He does not just bring the
• 1:49:04
  anointing, He brings you access to mysteries.
• 1:49:07
  It was him who taught me the law of honor.
• 1:49:10
  It was him who taught me the law of relationships.
• 1:49:13
  He taught me the power of diligence.
• 1:49:15
  Look what those laws have done in my life today.
• 1:49:18
  If I did not know them, who would have taught me?
• 1:49:24
  The Holy Ghost does not just bring the anointing.
• 1:49:26
  Don't just think anointing. He brings you knowledge.
• 1:49:30
  He quickens the word of God. He tells you, my dear Son, the
• 1:49:34
  earth walks by laws. It is not a mistake.
• 1:49:38
  The mysteries you know determine the platforms you stand on.
• 1:49:42
  What do you know? What do you not know when the
• 1:49:47
  Holy Ghost begins the journey of turning men to treasure?
• 1:49:52
  Please hear me, ladies and gentlemen.
• 1:49:54
  The anointing is not the only thing He brings in your life.
• 1:49:58
  He brings you access to light, Light by the word of God.
• 1:50:04
  He begins to show you how life works.
• 1:50:07
  I'll tell you this, I'm not somebody who cries easily.
• 1:50:10
  I've tried and tried you. You've heard me, I've confessed
• 1:50:12
  it before you. I try and try to cry and the
• 1:50:15
  thing doesn't work. People tell me so.
• 1:50:17
  So person has died and the person talking on the phone is
• 1:50:19
  crying and sometimes I'm really touched but the tears will not
• 1:50:22
  come out. But one day, occasionally it
• 1:50:24
  happens when I'm overwhelmed by the goodness of God, I can just
• 1:50:29
  stand alone and tears begin to come out of my eyes.
• 1:50:32
  Something happened in my life sometime early this year and I
• 1:50:37
  stood at the mirror alone and I could not even talk.
• 1:50:41
  One of the few times in recent times that I wept like a baby.
• 1:50:45
  This is aside from God's presence in worship.
• 1:50:48
  Like I was alive, standing, not worshipping, but I was
• 1:50:52
  overwhelmed by something God did in my life and I began
• 1:50:56
  literally, like you know how a child cries when they flog him?
• 1:50:59
  I began to cry. I said, God, look what you've
• 1:51:02
  done in and through my life. Look what you've done.
• 1:51:06
  I found my way out. Not because I'm a preacher, I
• 1:51:11
  found my way out. You taught me to respect the oil
• 1:51:14
  you kept. In my house.
• 1:51:16
  And you said, if I respect that oil, the nations will desire you
• 1:51:20
  will become a treasure to be desired.
• 1:51:23
  And thank you for granting me the grace to respect that oil,
• 1:51:27
  to respect that relationship. Koinonia, you see, today is the
• 1:51:35
  fruit of that oil. The things that you celebrate in
• 1:51:39
  the life of this man today is the fruit of that oil.
• 1:51:43
  But ladies and gentlemen, the idea is not to admire a man
• 1:51:47
  standing before you. The idea is to let you know that
• 1:51:50
  it can be replicated in your own life, whether as a man of God,
• 1:51:56
  whether as a businessman, the Holy Spirit, if his personal
• 1:52:02
  ministry is engaged properly. He does not produce fanatics, he
• 1:52:07
  produces wise men. Wise men, he does not produce
• 1:52:12
  fanatics. There are a lot of fanatics in
• 1:52:15
  the body of Christ. They cannot defend the health of
• 1:52:18
  their relationship with superior wisdom, but they can show you
• 1:52:21
  religious fanatism. The proof that you have a
• 1:52:24
  healthy relationship with the Holy Spirit is not blind zeal
• 1:52:28
  that becomes an interruption to people.
• 1:52:30
  That's fanatism. It's a byproduct of religion and
• 1:52:33
  ignorance. But he produces men who are wise
• 1:52:37
  men who are passionate wisdom. That cannot be contested with,
• 1:52:41
  cannot be denied. They may not like you, but they
• 1:52:44
  cannot deny the gift that flows from you.
• 1:52:50
  Hallelujah. As for me, I found my way.
• 1:52:55
  I know the lion, I know the lamb.
• 1:53:03
  I am match the lion, I match the lamb.
• 1:53:10
  I believe in the lion, I believe in the lamb and I will follow
• 1:53:19
  the lion. I will follow the lamb, I will
• 1:53:26
  follow the lion. I will follow the lion, Jesus
• 1:53:32
  told me. He will leave.
• 1:53:34
  Me, his spirit. And he said, when he, the spirit
• 1:53:38
  of truth, is come, Koinonia, listen to me.
• 1:53:41
  When the Holy Ghost comes into the life of a man, victory has
• 1:53:44
  come. When the Holy Ghost comes into
• 1:53:46
  the life of a man, increase has come, Influence has come.
• 1:53:51
  But he comes as a small oil in a jar, waiting for your honor,
• 1:53:57
  waiting for your respect. You can disregard him.
• 1:54:01
  Because you don't see his value. Listen to me.
• 1:54:05
  Some of you have exalted your certificates more than him.
• 1:54:09
  Some of you have exalted your intellect more than him.
• 1:54:13
  Some of you have exalted physical looks more than him.
• 1:54:16
  Some of you have exalted human connections more than him.
• 1:54:20
  Some of you have exalted whatever it is more than him.
• 1:54:23
  I'm preaching to you tonight. Anything can fail, but if you
• 1:54:28
  take advantage of that little Cruz of oil, step by step, he
• 1:54:32
  would turn you into a sign and a wonder.
• 1:54:35
  As a preacher, as a woman, as a man, as a child, as a father, as
• 1:54:40
  a CEO, He will turn you, I tell you, into a sign and a wonder.
• 1:54:47
  He's the fountain of wisdom. He does not just make men wives
• 1:54:52
  by impacting the grace for wisdom.
• 1:54:55
  No, there is treasure to be desired.
• 1:54:58
  And oil in the dwelling of the wise.
• 1:55:03
  Who therefore, is the wise based on Bibles definition?
• 1:55:07
  Number 11 who has chosen to be in the habitation of the wise?
• 1:55:15
  The man who chooses to transit from the habitation of fools the
• 1:55:20
  place of darkness to the place of the wise is the one who truly
• 1:55:24
  desires to be wise. Number 21 who has?
• 1:55:28
  Found the oil, the oil that makes great, the oil that makes
• 1:55:32
  powerful, the oil that makes wise, the oil that makes
• 1:55:36
  knowledgeable. And then through hunger, you
• 1:55:42
  begin to expand those vessels as they are filled with oil, filled
• 1:55:46
  with knowledge, filled with bodies of truth, spiritual
• 1:55:49
  information. It's impossible for your world
• 1:55:52
  to ignore you. Impossible.
• 1:55:54
  Please hear me, my brothers and sisters, this is not hold on,
• 1:55:58
  please. There's what we call the
• 1:56:00
  election of grace, where God, by his predeterminate counsel,
• 1:56:06
  selects a few people and commits to them certain noble
• 1:56:10
  assignments. But it is in everyone's
• 1:56:13
  corporate destiny in Christ to attend unto greatness.
• 1:56:19
  There are not enough planes in the sky.
• 1:56:22
  The sky is large enough. Large enough.
• 1:56:27
  They've not made the biggest plane on earth that occupies the
• 1:56:31
  sky such that you don't see the sky.
• 1:56:33
  No. How many of you know that
• 1:56:36
  anything that is in the sky and is visible to the eye can be
• 1:56:39
  seen by people from across various places.
• 1:56:42
  I'm here right now. I can't see the car that is
• 1:56:45
  parked and say who say or parked somewhere.
• 1:56:48
  I can't see it. Are we together?
• 1:56:50
  But distance beyond that in the sky, I can see whatever is
• 1:56:54
  there. The Bible says they that be wise
• 1:56:57
  they shall be as the brightness of the firmament, and they that
• 1:57:02
  turn many to righteousness as the stars, even forevermore.
• 1:57:07
  It's impossible to ignore a man who has found a way of wisdom.
• 1:57:11
  The way of wisdom is the way of the oil, the way of intimacy.
• 1:57:15
  The Way of Wisdom is the way of light access to treasures that
• 1:57:21
  make you become the treasure yourself, the treasures of
• 1:57:25
  wisdom, the treasures of knowledge, the treasures of
• 1:57:29
  revelation, the treasures of mysteries.
• 1:57:32
  One of these days I was writing all the mysteries of the
• 1:57:37
  Kingdom. I've learned every one of them.
• 1:57:39
  I was just just decided to have my time writing them down.
• 1:57:45
  And at the point I was amazed at how many of these Kingdom
• 1:57:48
  mysteries I had found like gems. You keep finding them one by
• 1:57:53
  one. For some of you, when you came
• 1:57:55
  here, you were full of ignorance, full of fear.
• 1:57:58
  But right now, with every message, it's like a gem comes
• 1:58:01
  from heaven and you are picking them.
• 1:58:03
  You know where you are storing them into yourself.
• 1:58:06
  You just give yourself some time.
• 1:58:08
  You will start glowing and everybody will know there is
• 1:58:11
  something within you. Man of God, I've known you for
• 1:58:13
  10 years, but what is changing within this last one year?
• 1:58:16
  And you tell them I had. I came to the dwelling of the
• 1:58:19
  wise. I found their oil.
• 1:58:21
  I found their treasure. The treasure I found, the oil I
• 1:58:25
  found, has now made me a treasure to the nations.
• 1:58:32
  For you, your case would not just be to carry the treasure
• 1:58:36
  and go and sell it yours. It will be for you to become the
• 1:58:40
  treasure yourself, that the nations will come to pick you.
• 1:58:43
  And as they go around with you, you, you spread the fragrance of
• 1:58:48
  the glory of God from everywhere to everywhere, bringing glory to
• 1:58:52
  the name of the Lord. Listen to me, I sense in my
• 1:58:57
  spirit that we are stepping into a season.
• 1:59:00
  Please hear me, A season where ordinary individuals will begin
• 1:59:05
  to glow with the light and the power of God.
• 1:59:08
  Colonia, hear me. I'm saying this first to our
• 1:59:11
  global family and then extending it to us, many who have the ears
• 1:59:14
  to hear. In the body of Christ there is a
• 1:59:16
  season of glory that is coming. Romans 818I reckon that the
• 1:59:21
  sufferings of this present time is not worthy to be compared
• 1:59:25
  with the glory that shall be revealed.
• 1:59:28
  In US this will be a people who are greatly wonder that you will
• 1:59:34
  see levels of wisdom beyond imagination.
• 1:59:37
  I'm telling you, ordinary men will rise.
• 1:59:40
  Who will build conglomerates as young people in their 20s and in
• 1:59:45
  their 30s? I don't mean being employed, I
• 1:59:48
  mean building companies by wisdom great men and women of
• 1:59:54
  God rising. Thank God for the ones that have
• 1:59:56
  gone ahead. But I assure you the best is
• 1:59:59
  still yet to come. The best is still yet to come.
• 2:00:06
  When? During the days of Smith
• 2:00:09
  Wigglesworth. During the days of, you know,
• 2:00:14
  Emmy Semple McPherson, who. Prophecy and the younger chose.
• 2:00:27
  You would have thought the best days were there.
• 2:00:30
  No, But until these fathers emerge and thank God for the
• 2:00:34
  fathers and we all know them. But I still say it again, the
• 2:00:37
  best is yet to come. My goodness, you are going to
• 2:00:43
  see men that will arise. You will see women that will
• 2:00:46
  arise. It's not just power.
• 2:00:48
  Believe me, believe me, believe me, you will see preachers that
• 2:00:53
  are not like human beings. You will be wondering where did
• 2:00:56
  this one come from? A Bank of spiritual
• 2:00:59
  intelligence, Young men, young women who will advise
• 2:01:09
  governments by dimensions of wisdom.
• 2:01:13
  When they tell you where they are coming from, you will say
• 2:01:16
  you mean you came from that background.
• 2:01:18
  How did you emerge? And you will tell them, I
• 2:01:21
  learned that there is oil, there is treasure to be found in the
• 2:01:25
  habitation of the wise. The first thing I did was to get
• 2:01:29
  to the dwelling of the wise. But when I got there, I searched
• 2:01:33
  for oil, I searched for treasures.
• 2:01:36
  And it's. Made me a treasure in myself.
• 2:01:42
  Hallelujah. I'll tell you a humorous story.
• 2:01:45
  Listen, I'll tell you a very humorous story.
• 2:01:49
  I spoke with a gentleman many years ago and the man told me he
• 2:01:52
  he gave me a book and he was very sincere.
• 2:01:55
  He gave me a book and the book was on how to attract kings.
• 2:02:00
  And he said, look, one of the things that you need in ministry
• 2:02:03
  is to know how to attract people who have resources to come and
• 2:02:06
  help you. I said I understand and I
• 2:02:08
  respect what you mean, but my mandate is not to bring wealthy.
• 2:02:12
  People is to raise people. Genesis 17 and verse 6 And I
• 2:02:20
  will make you exceeding fruitful.
• 2:02:23
  This was the Scripture God gave me.
• 2:02:25
  And I will make nations of thee. It didn't say you will go to
• 2:02:29
  nations. I will make nations of thee, and
• 2:02:32
  kings shall come out of you. You may not look like it, my
• 2:02:39
  sister, but don't let men mock you.
• 2:02:41
  Leave them. Leave them.
• 2:02:43
  You may not look like it, my brother.
• 2:02:46
  You don't need to start acting, you know, in a front.
• 2:02:48
  Don't worry, Don't worry. Your shoe does not look like it.
• 2:02:52
  Your dress does not look like it.
• 2:02:54
  Your bank account does not look like it.
• 2:02:57
  Your preaching does not yet look like it.
• 2:03:00
  Your crowd or congregation does not yet look like it, but you.
• 2:03:04
  Stay with the oil that is in the dwelling of the wise.
• 2:03:07
  Stay with that relationship. No ministry invitations, but
• 2:03:11
  stay. Stay with that relationship.
• 2:03:14
  In the place of prayer, in the place of consecration, in the
• 2:03:17
  place of growing. Stay there.
• 2:03:19
  And for every time you interrupt with the spirit of grace,
• 2:03:23
  something is poured into you. As you interact with knowledge,
• 2:03:27
  this treasure keeps coming to you.
• 2:03:31
  To the one who already has a lamp but no oil, I want you to
• 2:03:35
  know that for you, you are fortunate because the door is
• 2:03:39
  not yet shut. God has sent us as them that
• 2:03:42
  sell. Unfortunately, we don't need
• 2:03:45
  your money, we need your. Hunger.
• 2:03:47
  Provided you have the hunger you can buy, you can buy levels of
• 2:03:53
  relationship with hunger with desperation.
• 2:03:56
  Father, I have studied the Bible.
• 2:03:59
  I am not ignorant, but I need a functional relationship with the
• 2:04:03
  Holy Spirit. Are you seeing that it is the
• 2:04:05
  oil that powers the lamb? If you carry an empty Lantern
• 2:04:11
  without oil, that's like carrying scriptures.
• 2:04:14
  I shall, I shall be great. And I understand what you mean,
• 2:04:17
  but there are many carrying an empty lamb.
• 2:04:20
  Empty lamb When they stand before situations, they lift it
• 2:04:24
  up, and light cannot come because light is not only the
• 2:04:28
  union of a weak, it is the weak, the Lantern and oil that
• 2:04:33
  produces light. The Bible is powerful, but the
• 2:04:40
  light that comes from it is the product of your relationship
• 2:04:44
  with the Holy Spirit, your knowledge of Scripture, and the
• 2:04:47
  faith that you engage. That's what produces.
• 2:04:49
  Light. Vases don't produce light on
• 2:04:53
  their own, no. They can acquire spiritual
• 2:04:57
  knowledge and bring to you. But if you want light, it is a
• 2:05:01
  union of the oil. The lamb and the weak and the
• 2:05:06
  Bible says they were the ones who trimmed the weak by
• 2:05:09
  themselves. There are many people carrying
• 2:05:12
  empty vases on their heads, with all due respect, religiously so,
• 2:05:16
  and believing that life will be at their command, they
• 2:05:19
  disrespect the relationship with the Holy Spirit and they just
• 2:05:23
  put scriptures here and there. No, Sir, it starts with the oil.
• 2:05:28
  Then the oil gives value to your learning scripture, and then
• 2:05:33
  with what you know now, the faith to engage it so that it
• 2:05:37
  produces. I'm telling you, your world
• 2:05:39
  cannot deny you. You see, we said these things
• 2:05:43
  years ago when there was nothing to be desired, but we knew one
• 2:05:48
  day there will be something to be desired.
• 2:05:51
  There are few people who are born with something to be
• 2:05:54
  desired. Others have the leverage, which
• 2:05:57
  is another mystery of the Kingdom, the law of leverage.
• 2:06:03
  Some were born carrying prophecies that have come from a
• 2:06:08
  rich spiritual heritage. Others have the leverage of
• 2:06:12
  wealth, others have a leverage of access, but very few people
• 2:06:16
  have that. Most people don't even start
• 2:06:19
  from zero. They start from correcting
• 2:06:21
  mistakes of those who went ahead of them at that point.
• 2:06:24
  Let me tell you ladies and gentlemen, when life fails you,
• 2:06:28
  when greatness looks far from you, when everyone is running
• 2:06:32
  away from you. Let me give you a secret.
• 2:06:34
  The moment you are trying to run towards people and they are
• 2:06:38
  running away from you, stop seeking them.
• 2:06:40
  Go back and seek oil and seek treasure.
• 2:06:43
  I can assure you, if they will come, the people will come this
• 2:06:47
  time around. They will come into your space
• 2:06:50
  with honor. Are we together now?
• 2:06:55
  There are some of you who are on an endless journey of seeking
• 2:06:59
  attention, seeking validity, running around on the people,
• 2:07:03
  the people. Just try to let you know that
• 2:07:04
  sorry you are not here. It's a painful message, but they
• 2:07:08
  are telling you you are not yet in the dwelling of the wise
• 2:07:11
  because the wise don't seek things.
• 2:07:13
  They seek oil and they seek treasure.
• 2:07:15
  Then they become the treasure. Then the wall seeks them.
• 2:07:25
  Holy Spirit, you are welcome. Fill this temple with your
• 2:07:36
  presence. Holy Spirit, you are welcome.
• 2:07:47
  They that be wise fill this temple.
• 2:07:52
  With your treasure we wait. On you, Lord, we wait.
• 2:08:00
  On you we wait. On you, Lord.
• 2:08:30
  Hear me again, the moment you find yourself in an endless
• 2:08:34
  journey of trying to get people to know you are there, No, you
• 2:08:39
  are not yet there. The world is not looking for
• 2:08:45
  men, they are looking for treasures.
• 2:08:48
  The only way to beat the treasure they are looking for is
• 2:08:52
  to treasure the oil and treasure the lights that come from His
• 2:08:57
  presence. And then you become an enviable
• 2:09:00
  treasure. Hallelujah.
• 2:09:05
  I don't have the time to tell you testimonies.
• 2:09:07
  They will sound like pride. And they will end up creating
• 2:09:10
  anger and annoyance instead of ministering hope to you.
• 2:09:15
  But I can tell you this, there is almost nothing today that you
• 2:09:20
  seem to be looking for that cannot turn around and look for
• 2:09:23
  you if you know how to make it happen.
• 2:09:26
  This endless chase for relevance and attention is a waste of
• 2:09:31
  time. That's not how it works.
• 2:09:34
  God told me this thing years ago and it's worked today in my
• 2:09:38
  life. There are people who are my who
• 2:09:41
  is my father's house that I'll be able to call and do all of
• 2:09:44
  that. The people today that would have
• 2:09:46
  been a dream to access them can call and say it's a dream come
• 2:09:51
  true. And I'm looking, I'm saying my
• 2:09:53
  goodness and the Holy Spirit reminds me that is what I make
• 2:09:57
  with men and out of men who place priority and honor to the
• 2:10:02
  oil. Again, I remind you that when I
• 2:10:06
  talk of oil in this context, I'm not just talking of the
• 2:10:09
  anointing. I'm rather talking of the
• 2:10:12
  relationship with the Holy Spirit that produces in a man
• 2:10:16
  the anointing together with every other resource, the
• 2:10:19
  resource of knowledge that turns you into the wise.
• 2:10:25
  I'm living in the reality of things today that I saw
• 2:10:28
  yesteryears in visions and dreams and every once in a while
• 2:10:31
  when I open my old books, all torn, dusty but powerful.
• 2:10:36
  Sometimes I look at it and I'm I'm flattered.
• 2:10:38
  So God, you can be distrusted, some of you today.
• 2:10:44
  One day we will see you stand on television and while they are
• 2:10:50
  honoring you, you are crying and people will be wondering why are
• 2:10:53
  you crying? Don't embarrass yourself, you
• 2:10:55
  say. I remember I sat down in Kolonia
• 2:10:58
  1. Day and as I had a possible
• 2:11:00
  preach, he said the oil and the treasure can turn a man to a
• 2:11:05
  treasure that you will be so desired.
• 2:11:08
  I don't care that you came from Southern Kaduna, that you came
• 2:11:11
  from Plateau State, that you came from somewhere in the South
• 2:11:14
  S No, that's not what I'm asking you.
• 2:11:16
  You you donate yourself, hand yourself to the Holy Ghost and
• 2:11:24
  watch what he makes out of your life.
• 2:11:26
  Whoever lied to you that the holy.
• 2:11:28
  Spirit does not have solution to financial problems.
• 2:11:31
  Don't allow people to say all kinds of foolish things and mock
• 2:11:35
  your relationship with the Holy Ghost.
• 2:11:38
  One of my commitments was that I was going to leverage on my
• 2:11:42
  relationship with the Holy Spirit and by mercy be used by
• 2:11:47
  God to correct some of the things, especially in the area
• 2:11:50
  of finances, that has brought dishonor to the body of Christ.
• 2:11:54
  One of which is that you cannot do great things without
• 2:11:57
  compromise and manipulation. It's not true, it's not true,
• 2:12:01
  it's not true, it's not true, it's not true.
• 2:12:07
  I don't know how others do it, but the way of the wise is the
• 2:12:18
  way of the oil. When you stay with the Holy
• 2:12:22
  Spirit for every time you are engaging in prayer and
• 2:12:27
  fellowship, please hear me. You are not wasting your time.
• 2:12:31
  You are not wasting your time. Let others be building the house
• 2:12:34
  while you worship. If it if it is the Holy Ghost
• 2:12:37
  you truly work with, He will not leave you on the ground forever.
• 2:12:41
  Eventually He will pick you up, place something on your mind and
• 2:12:45
  send you. Now here is the balance.
• 2:12:47
  There are many people who have made fellowship with the Holy
• 2:12:50
  Spirit look like nonsense. You know why?
• 2:12:53
  Because after many decades of supposed fellowship with the
• 2:12:56
  Holy Spirit, we cannot see wisdom from that fellowship.
• 2:13:00
  All that we see. Is fanaticism and decline.
• 2:13:03
  There are people who claim to have stayed with the Holy Spirit
• 2:13:07
  in prayer. In fasting.
• 2:13:09
  All you end up seeing is a frustrated young man who is just
• 2:13:13
  growing older. Nothing is changing in their
• 2:13:15
  lives. It's a poor testimony.
• 2:13:18
  They may not be evil people, but they have not been mentored on
• 2:13:21
  how to engage with the Holy Ghost in a way that turns an
• 2:13:25
  individual to become a profitable blessing to the
• 2:13:28
  world. You need to be aware.
• 2:13:31
  I must give you this disclaimer. There's a lot of.
• 2:13:35
  Balance that needs to be brought in our approach to spiritual
• 2:13:39
  things, especially in the church in Nigeria and Africa because
• 2:13:43
  there is an approach that looks spiritual but it produces
• 2:13:47
  failures. Eventually people learn more
• 2:13:51
  towards relation, I mean religion, than a healthy,
• 2:13:55
  functional fellowship with the Holy Ghost.
• 2:13:58
  This is the kind of approach that make parents angry with
• 2:14:02
  their young children, is the kind of approach that makes
• 2:14:05
  unbelievers angry with pastors, angry with churches, and they
• 2:14:09
  say all you guys are doing is just jumping and praying.
• 2:14:12
  No, no, there's not a prayer problem.
• 2:14:14
  It's not a fasting problem. There's nothing wrong with
• 2:14:16
  prayer. Don't blame prayer for the
• 2:14:19
  defeat of people. Don't blame fasting for the
• 2:14:22
  defeat of people. It's the approach to mentorship
• 2:14:25
  and the way they are taught to engage the realm of the Spirit.
• 2:14:30
  A man can engage the realm of the spirit in a way.
• 2:14:33
  That becomes so ugly, so disdaining at the end of it.
• 2:14:37
  You wonder, is this how God is this what God does with men?
• 2:14:41
  Sometimes my heart bleeds sincerely as a man of God and as
• 2:14:45
  a leader when I find many young people zealous.
• 2:14:48
  They love the Lord, but simply because they do not have the
• 2:14:51
  privilege of structured mentorship to know how to engage
• 2:14:55
  the ministry of the Spirit, the Word of God, and the realm.
• 2:14:58
  Of the Spirit in a way that produces decency, honor and
• 2:15:03
  glory out of a man's life. After many years, you look at
• 2:15:07
  their lives and you said what you wear prayer warrior.
• 2:15:11
  Is this what God made out of your life?
• 2:15:13
  The man. Do you know how many people?
• 2:15:15
  And I'm saying this sincerely, this is my phone and God is
• 2:15:19
  here. I cannot, it's not going to be
• 2:15:22
  less than maybe 200 text messages.
• 2:15:24
  I tell you this from many people.
• 2:15:27
  Some of them I used to know yesteryears and sometimes they
• 2:15:30
  send me text messages maybe as they watch me around the world
• 2:15:33
  and they say apostle. I don't mean this is not
• 2:15:36
  jealousy, but can you tell me what happened?
• 2:15:38
  What happened with me? Because I know that I prayed, I
• 2:15:42
  know that I fasted, I know that I studied the word of God.
• 2:15:46
  Where did I miss it? Why is my life different?
• 2:15:49
  And I tell them, well, I I hate to tell you this, but there is
• 2:15:52
  an explanation. It was the way you approached
• 2:15:55
  faith. It was the way you understood
• 2:15:58
  God. It was the way you were taught
• 2:16:00
  the holy. Spirit, some of them did not
• 2:16:02
  have the heart to learn. When we were cautioning them, I
• 2:16:05
  said no, this part does not lead to victory.
• 2:16:08
  Unfortunately, they did not have the humility to listen and some
• 2:16:13
  of them to their family, people with children and some of those
• 2:16:17
  children are going through. Needless pain you can imagine,
• 2:16:21
  for instance, and with all due respect, when your child asks
• 2:16:24
  you a question and you say, I used to know all these great men
• 2:16:27
  and your child now says, daddy. So what happened is why many
• 2:16:30
  young children now, they don't want you to mention church.
• 2:16:34
  If you mention church to them, they said don't, don't mention
• 2:16:37
  church. My father used to be an
• 2:16:38
  evangelist. My father used to love the Lord.
• 2:16:42
  Ladies and gentlemen, God does not reduce men.
• 2:16:45
  Please hear me. God does not reduce men.
• 2:16:48
  God does not produce fools out of men.
• 2:16:51
  God does not produce weak people.
• 2:16:54
  And I don't just speak in terms of material blessings that God I
• 2:16:57
  know increases men. You don't truly serve him and
• 2:17:04
  get invested into Him and then after 1020 years of your life,
• 2:17:09
  everything around your life is is pungency.
• 2:17:15
  Do you know why many people in old age hate God?
• 2:17:18
  Because they tell you. During the Crusades of the 60's,
• 2:17:21
  the 70s, they mobilized us. We served on crusade grounds.
• 2:17:25
  It did not work. If it does not work, it is not a
• 2:17:28
  prayer problem. Don't blame prayer.
• 2:17:31
  No, don't blame fasting. Don't blame the world.
• 2:17:35
  Blame your approach. If someone picks a car and
• 2:17:39
  drives it in a certain way as to have an accident, does that mean
• 2:17:43
  the car is wrong? No, it's the way you drove the
• 2:17:46
  car and then sometimes the way you were taught or not taught.
• 2:17:54
  I've made a commitment to take advantage of the ministry of the
• 2:17:58
  Holy Spirit, to take advantage of the word of God and all the
• 2:18:02
  resources to produce a victorious people will produce a
• 2:18:08
  passionate people. Not fanatics, not fanatics.
• 2:18:14
  No, I don't have the goal of producing fanatics.
• 2:18:17
  The world is tired of fanatics talking a lot about things we
• 2:18:21
  cannot defend. The world is looking for
• 2:18:23
  witnesses, responsible people who bring value to the practice
• 2:18:29
  of the faith. Are we together?
• 2:18:32
  Yes, that the government can look at the church and be proud
• 2:18:37
  of the church because of a sense of dignity and responsibility.
• 2:18:41
  You know the reason why many African, and I'm sorry to say
• 2:18:44
  most of the gospel we preach around Africa cannot cross the
• 2:18:48
  border of Africa into Europe. They don't have time for some of
• 2:18:51
  that nonsense. As we come in with a lot of
• 2:18:54
  blind fanaticism, they throw it away.
• 2:18:57
  Show me how that gospel transforms society.
• 2:18:59
  Show me how it improves the lives of people.
• 2:19:05
  You can't keep stealing and be praying in tongues and still be
• 2:19:09
  stealing for 15 years. What was the value of the Holy
• 2:19:12
  Ghost in your life then? Are we together now?
• 2:19:16
  Yes. You can be cursed and OK, you
• 2:19:19
  came from all kinds of courses and all of that agreed, but you
• 2:19:23
  have engaged with the Word of God and 20 years later you are
• 2:19:26
  still in that bondage. No Sir, no Sir.
• 2:19:30
  Where is the excellence? Your victory.
• 2:19:35
  Are we together? Do you know how pained it will
• 2:19:38
  be in my heart? Let me add 10 years to your age
• 2:19:42
  now. Koinonia, Let me add 15 years to
• 2:19:45
  your age now and still have. You, the way you are now, do you
• 2:19:48
  know how terrible that is going to be?
• 2:19:51
  How are you going to answer your wife when she asked you that
• 2:19:53
  question? My husband, we have served God
• 2:19:56
  all our lives. What is the meaning of this?
• 2:20:00
  There is an explanation. Hear me, ladies and gentlemen.
• 2:20:05
  If it does not work for you in your life, it is because wisdom
• 2:20:08
  is missing and there is the way of wisdom.
• 2:20:11
  I'm teaching you that the way of wisdom is the way of intimacy,
• 2:20:15
  the way of the oil, but it is also the way of treasures.
• 2:20:19
  You fight to get the mysteries of the Kingdom.
• 2:20:22
  Spend most of your time learning the ways of the Kingdom rather
• 2:20:26
  than loitering around social media and doing whatever.
• 2:20:29
  I show you the way of champions, my young sister.
• 2:20:33
  I don't care the limitations from where you've come from.
• 2:20:36
  Let people ignore you. You stay with the oil and find
• 2:20:41
  the treasures from the word of God.
• 2:20:43
  If they will come, your world will celebrate you.
• 2:20:45
  A possible. But I cannot speak English.
• 2:20:50
  Don't worry, stay with the Holy Ghost, any language start from
• 2:20:55
  there. The Holy Ghost will start giving
• 2:20:56
  you the wisdom keys to meet the people who will help you.
• 2:21:00
  You see, the Holy Spirit does not keep you limited when you
• 2:21:04
  stay with Him. He starts introducing you to the
• 2:21:07
  systems that make for. Greatness, some of you is in the
• 2:21:10
  place of intimacy. The Holy Ghost will tap you and
• 2:21:13
  say go and take a certification. That's the Holy Ghost.
• 2:21:16
  So he does not just make you oh, you wait till.
• 2:21:19
  The convention. I don't want to preach my
• 2:21:20
  message ahead first. But one of the things we are
• 2:21:23
  going to be learning is that science and technology is the
• 2:21:27
  mother that gives birth to divine wisdom.
• 2:21:30
  Are we together now? What we laugh at and feel it's
• 2:21:33
  Antichrist. It was the vehicle that was used
• 2:21:37
  to interpret the wisdom of the Spirit when you stay with the
• 2:21:44
  Holy. Ghost, you don't become a fool.
• 2:21:46
  No, not the God of the Bible. He's the all wise God.
• 2:21:50
  He cannot produce all foolish men.
• 2:21:58
  Koinonia, I say to you, you will never be small, you will never
• 2:22:04
  be weak, you will never be poor, you will never be beggarly.
• 2:22:09
  No, by the message of God you have been programmed.
• 2:22:13
  It's a programming, programming, programming.
• 2:22:19
  My dear sister, you may look weak.
• 2:22:21
  Now. Don't mind the naysayers.
• 2:22:23
  You just stay. I'm introducing someone or
• 2:22:26
  encouraging someone by tonight's teaching.
• 2:22:29
  The way of the wise is the way of intimacy, the way of the oil.
• 2:22:35
  Please stay there. Don't let anybody ever preach
• 2:22:38
  you out of having a functional relationship with the Holy
• 2:22:42
  Ghost. When it's time to pray, pray and
• 2:22:45
  don't let people mock prayer in front of you.
• 2:22:48
  I know what they mean to say, but sometimes we exaggerate a
• 2:22:52
  lot of things and we make it look like prayer is a cause.
• 2:22:55
  Prayer is not a 'cause it has never been a 'cause It is our
• 2:22:59
  approach to it that makes it look like A cause.
• 2:23:02
  Fasting has never been a cause. It is our approach to it.
• 2:23:06
  How we are mentored into it. The study of the word has never
• 2:23:11
  been a cause. It is our inaccurate
• 2:23:13
  understanding of the Kingdom and how to engage spiritual
• 2:23:17
  realities towards a life of victory that makes spirituality
• 2:23:22
  look like a nuisance. But here comes a generation that
• 2:23:26
  will represent God well. We will step into a level of
• 2:23:30
  fearful wisdom. Wisdom, that is, is not limited
• 2:23:34
  to the pulpit. Wisdom that is relevant to
• 2:23:37
  government. Wisdom that is relevant to
• 2:23:40
  society. Wisdom that is relevant to
• 2:23:43
  medicine, surgery. Wisdom, that is.
• 2:23:45
  Relevant to the pulpit, you believe that say Amen.
• 2:23:54
  This is what I believe. There is treasure to be desired
• 2:24:00
  and oil in the dwelling of the wise.
• 2:24:07
  My question for you tonight, please lend me your attention.
• 2:24:11
  If I come to your house, spiritually speaking, am I going
• 2:24:15
  to find Robles that have been acquisitions of flesh piling up
• 2:24:22
  your house with nothing to be desired, or will I find oil that
• 2:24:27
  is growing in proportion? Will I find treasures of
• 2:24:34
  knowledge? If I come to your house, will I
• 2:24:38
  find a passionate person investing in knowledge or will I
• 2:24:42
  find a hustler trying to make it?
• 2:24:45
  A hustler trying to make it? You have signed up for
• 2:24:48
  frustration. Not in our world today.
• 2:24:50
  Gentlemen, let me speak to you in love for one moment.
• 2:24:53
  I understand what it means to truly want to make ends meet and
• 2:24:58
  not have things met. You see that I understand the
• 2:25:02
  frustration that looking like a failure means, particularly to a
• 2:25:07
  young man. There's a psychology to it.
• 2:25:09
  So when I see young people trying to be desperate and
• 2:25:12
  angry, I don't condemn them. I know the pain.
• 2:25:16
  But ladies and gentlemen, particularly the gentleman, let
• 2:25:19
  me talk to you. I want you to trust me on this.
• 2:25:22
  That way will not lead you to rest.
• 2:25:25
  If I am a 70 year old man or an 80 year old man talking, you say
• 2:25:30
  don't mind all these old people. I'm a young man.
• 2:25:32
  This is our generation. I am telling you it does not
• 2:25:35
  work that way. That life of hustling from
• 2:25:38
  pillar to post, I must make. It is the way of fools.
• 2:25:43
  I'm showing you welcome to the place of the wise, where God can
• 2:25:47
  lift you with the dignity of Kingdom integrity, where you can
• 2:25:50
  lift your head high. You don't have to run away when
• 2:25:53
  you see police. You don't have to run away when
• 2:25:55
  you see law enforcement agents because we're a.
• 2:25:57
  Thief or you have done something wrong, you can stand ahead high,
• 2:26:01
  giving honor to the to the name of the Lord, and being a wonder
• 2:26:05
  to your world that people keep asking.
• 2:26:08
  How are you doing it? And you tell them I found oil
• 2:26:12
  and I found treasure. I found treasure when I found
• 2:26:18
  the law of honor. I knew it was treasure.
• 2:26:21
  When I found the law of relationships, when I found the
• 2:26:24
  law of encounter, when I found the law of productivity, when I
• 2:26:29
  found the law of patience, when I found the law of reciprocity,
• 2:26:33
  when I found them, I knew I'd found my way out.
• 2:26:46
  Many years ago, I went many years, quite a long time, a
• 2:26:54
  particular bank in this nation, I needed a loan from them.
• 2:27:00
  They're not. They're no longer functional.
• 2:27:03
  And I went discuss with them and I remember having a discussion
• 2:27:06
  with them and it was a little loan and after discussion, you
• 2:27:11
  know, coming again. And one time they were just
• 2:27:14
  playing me around. And then later on, I remember
• 2:27:18
  one of them turned and made a sarcastic statement, very
• 2:27:22
  demeaning statement. And I stood there and I looked
• 2:27:25
  at them. I said, Oh my.
• 2:27:27
  And I stamped my feet. I said this will be the first
• 2:27:31
  and the last time in my life to step into this place to look for
• 2:27:35
  a loan or whatever. One day I went somewhere and I
• 2:27:44
  sat down with the owner of the bank.
• 2:27:48
  The bank is no longer functional now.
• 2:27:50
  I sat down with the owner of the bank and we're talking and he
• 2:27:54
  was talking about his bank. And I said, let me tell you a
• 2:27:57
  little story, Sir. And then I said, you mean it?
• 2:28:01
  Who did that? I said I don't need anything
• 2:28:06
  from the bank again. You see that the people who look
• 2:28:10
  at you today, allow them to keep talking about you.
• 2:28:13
  They will be the witnesses when you rise.
• 2:28:20
  They will say we are part of those who laughed at them.
• 2:28:22
  We know it's true. You follow the right part.
• 2:28:26
  Don't be ashamed of your scars. Don't be ashamed of your tears.
• 2:28:30
  If you are moving and you fall, get up and dust yourself and
• 2:28:33
  keep moving. Keep moving.
• 2:28:35
  The time it takes to regret is the same time it takes to go
• 2:28:37
  forward. Go forward.
• 2:28:41
  Is someone learning at the end of this?
• 2:28:44
  I'm going to speak over your life.
• 2:28:45
  Oh, there's something that must rest on your head this night.
• 2:28:49
  In the name of Jesus Christ, hear me Koinonia.
• 2:28:54
  Your intimacy with the Holy Spirit should never be second
• 2:28:59
  place in your life, your prayer life, your time alone to
• 2:29:04
  fellowship with God. Please don't replace it with
• 2:29:08
  anything. And if you start having a job or
• 2:29:11
  increase, rearrange your life such that you factor in your
• 2:29:17
  time with God. Let's finish that scripture.
• 2:29:20
  The Bible says, but the foolish man.
• 2:29:22
  Let me talk on it quickly so that we pray give it to us.
• 2:29:25
  Media Proverbs 2021. But the foolish man spended it
• 2:29:32
  up. Look up, please.
• 2:29:34
  Do you know what this means? This foolish man possibly was
• 2:29:39
  once a wise man. That's why he had it.
• 2:29:43
  But because he was enjoying the fruits of wisdom, he stopped
• 2:29:48
  interacting with the oil. Are we together now?
• 2:29:52
  And depletion plunged in and he started spending everything that
• 2:29:57
  he had until he finished. I'm going to leave you with the
• 2:30:01
  instruction that Elijah gave the woman.
• 2:30:05
  Many of you only see that, he said go and sell it.
• 2:30:08
  He said. Go and sell it.
• 2:30:11
  Pay off your debt. Then he made a profound
• 2:30:13
  statement. He said leave off the rest.
• 2:30:16
  He didn't just mean leave off what is there.
• 2:30:19
  Leave off that formula. Don't lose that formula because
• 2:30:23
  the time will come your needs will arise.
• 2:30:26
  He certainly did not mean just sell what is there alone.
• 2:30:30
  No matter what she sold you will not be enough to list out a
• 2:30:33
  lifetime. But he's saying, I've shown you
• 2:30:35
  a formula. Every time there's depletion in
• 2:30:38
  your life, go back to the oil, borrow vessels, get knowledge.
• 2:30:45
  That knowledge by the Spirit. Then shut your door.
• 2:30:49
  Engage that knowledge and it will become a treasure to be
• 2:30:53
  desired. It will.
• 2:30:55
  Even turn you into a treasure yourself and the nations will
• 2:30:59
  place a demand upon your life. Whatsoever he doeth prospers.
• 2:31:08
  Is it the works of your hands? Is it your career?
• 2:31:12
  Is it ministry? If you stay with the Holy
• 2:31:14
  Spirit, my dear brothers and sisters, and He helps you, you
• 2:31:18
  know, let me tell you this, the way of the spiritual man is
• 2:31:22
  relatively slower than the way of the natural man.
• 2:31:25
  I'll give you a disclaimer. The way of the spiritual man is
• 2:31:30
  relatively slower. Than the way of the natural man.
• 2:31:34
  Meaning if you ignore God, chances are excellent that
• 2:31:38
  because there's nothing to tame you, there's nothing to keep
• 2:31:41
  you. There's no system of restraint.
• 2:31:43
  Your life may look magically faster than the person who is
• 2:31:47
  working with God. You know why?
• 2:31:48
  Because when you walk with God, it demands that you submit to
• 2:31:52
  his governing authority. There are things you will want
• 2:31:55
  to do. He will constrain you.
• 2:31:58
  So there are many things that will slow down your life for a
• 2:32:01
  while. For when the glory begins to
• 2:32:03
  manifest, it is lasting, it is eternal.
• 2:32:07
  So the Bible says our light afflictions, which is but for a
• 2:32:11
  moment it says it works in us a far more greater and eternal
• 2:32:17
  weight of glory, That whilst we look not at the things that are
• 2:32:20
  seen, but the things that are unseen.
• 2:32:23
  For the things that are seen are temporal, but the things that
• 2:32:28
  are unseen are eternal. Romans 818I reckon that the
• 2:32:33
  sufferings of this present time, my brother, my sister, hear me.
• 2:32:37
  They are not worthy to be compared with the glory that
• 2:32:42
  shall be revealed in you. Don't give up, keep praying,
• 2:32:47
  don't give up. Keep fasting, don't give up.
• 2:32:51
  Keep listening to the teachings, keep taking the courses, keep
• 2:32:54
  taking the certifications. Keep submitting yourself to
• 2:32:57
  mentorship. You may cry, but continue.
• 2:33:00
  You may weep, but continue. You are following the way of the
• 2:33:03
  wise. Are we together?
• 2:33:05
  When God chastises you, receive it with honor.
• 2:33:08
  When mentorship chastises you in love, receive it with honor.
• 2:33:12
  Don't be embarrassed when you fall, stand up and push.
• 2:33:15
  And I'm telling you, eventually you will begin to shine like the
• 2:33:19
  brightness of the firmament, and you will become like the stars
• 2:33:23
  even forever more. The Bible says they that be
• 2:33:26
  wise, they that choose the path of wisdom, eventually they will
• 2:33:33
  shine. Have you seen the sun shining at
• 2:33:36
  its strength? Have you seen the sun push its
• 2:33:39
  ray through the cloud? And you see the beauty of the
• 2:33:43
  cloud? That's the destiny of the one
• 2:33:45
  who chooses the path of wisdom. I made a covenant with my
• 2:33:53
  destiny that I will not fail in life, not out of fear, not out
• 2:33:57
  of a competitive spirit. There is no reason for it, not
• 2:34:01
  when I have the Holy Spirit. There is no reason for it, not
• 2:34:05
  when I have the heart to learn. I'm not too proud to learn what
• 2:34:08
  I don't know. I can learn from a child.
• 2:34:11
  I can learn from my subordinates.
• 2:34:13
  I can learn from my contemporaries.
• 2:34:15
  I don't just learn from those higher than me.
• 2:34:17
  Anybody with useful knowledge that can help me, I don't have
• 2:34:21
  the time to slow down my life in pride.
• 2:34:23
  I learn. It is cheaper to learn with
• 2:34:26
  humility than to learn in pain and regret.
• 2:34:36
  Hallelujah, I've made-up my mind that I will follow the way of
• 2:34:41
  Wisdom Koinonia. The Lord plays this message in
• 2:34:43
  my heart tonight, and it's a Clarion call to you, to our
• 2:34:47
  global family, and to the body of Christ.
• 2:34:50
  We're about to pray. Please join me in this.
• 2:34:54
  I have come like Abraham, calling lot out of Sodom and
• 2:34:58
  Gomorrah. Some of you have come in the
• 2:35:00
  spirit of Abraham. I warned you before, you didn't
• 2:35:03
  listen. You found yourself in Sodom and
• 2:35:05
  Gomorrah. God has sent me again.
• 2:35:08
  You were about to lose your daughters.
• 2:35:10
  Some of you, your wife or whatever is about to turn to
• 2:35:13
  salt and God is worthy you again come out of Sodom and Gomorrah.
• 2:35:19
  There is the dwelling of the wives.
• 2:35:21
  Some of you have been around the company of fools.
• 2:35:24
  Look at me. You know who a fool is?
• 2:35:26
  The one who says in his heart there is no God.
• 2:35:29
  You know who a fool is? The one who mocks process.
• 2:35:32
  You know who a fool is? The one who rejoices over the
• 2:35:35
  proceeds of compromise. You know who a fool is?
• 2:35:39
  One who mocks diligence. You know who a fool is?
• 2:35:42
  One who laughs at people when they go down.
• 2:35:45
  The Bible says let him that think at his tongues, take heed
• 2:35:48
  less he falls. You know where fool is one who
• 2:35:51
  disregards the presence of the Holy Spirit disregards the word
• 2:35:55
  of God. Please do not follow that path
• 2:35:58
  is a path of losers is a path of failures.
• 2:36:01
  Learn from others. Don't wait until it becomes your
• 2:36:04
  own experience. Many have cried the cry you
• 2:36:07
  should cry. Don't cry it again.
• 2:36:09
  Many have lived in the pain that you are about to go through.
• 2:36:12
  Don't have to go through it again.
• 2:36:14
  I show you the dwelling of the wise by the message of God.
• 2:36:18
  I say it without any shame or any favor.
• 2:36:20
  Koinonia is the dwelling of the wise.
• 2:36:25
  It is impossible. Impossible for you to submit
• 2:36:30
  yourself to the things you are learning week in week out,
• 2:36:34
  sincerely, open heartedly, ultimately submitting to the
• 2:36:39
  wisdom of God and become a failure.
• 2:36:41
  Is not true. If you stay with me for five
• 2:36:45
  years, 10 years, and you become a failure, I will hold your hand
• 2:36:49
  and stand before God and say, Father, I love this person.
• 2:36:53
  He's my son, he's my daughter. But this is not a reflection.
• 2:36:56
  Of what you and me have done in his life.
• 2:36:58
  He has frustrated the efforts. Maybe he was sleeping while I
• 2:37:03
  was preaching or he was joining the moccas to laugh.
• 2:37:13
  Please don't despise these. Things.
• 2:37:16
  I don't have every result, but I think I have something small to
• 2:37:20
  tell you to listen. Don't listen to people who don't
• 2:37:23
  have results. Commentators everywhere.
• 2:37:26
  No, there is a way of the wise. There is a way of the winner.
• 2:37:31
  There is the way of dominion. There is the way of victory.
• 2:37:34
  There is a way of rest. There is a way of true Kingdom
• 2:37:37
  prosperity. There is a way of influence.
• 2:37:40
  There is a way of peace. There is a way of integrity.
• 2:37:44
  There is a way of intimacy. There is a dwelling of the wise
• 2:37:47
  where you find the oil and treasure to be desired.
• 2:37:53
  Can I lead you to pray some prayers tonight and then I speak
• 2:37:55
  over your life? This one, we're going to hold
• 2:37:58
  hands together. Find the hand of a serious
• 2:38:00
  person. Hold it like you're holding the
• 2:38:02
  hand of a brother. Hold it like you're holding the
• 2:38:05
  hand of a sister. Hold it like you're holding the
• 2:38:08
  hand of someone whose destiny you care about.
• 2:38:13
  Please hold it from the depth of your heart.
• 2:38:15
  Train the Spirit for one minute. Just allow me lead you through
• 2:38:18
  the structure for our prayer. Go ahead and pray one minute.
• 2:38:33
  You are that mighty army God is raising.
• 2:38:39
  Believe us across the body of Christ following.
• 2:38:42
  Oh, I do not come as one who is better than you.
• 2:38:45
  I only come as one who has been shown grace.
• 2:38:47
  Grace and mercy. Grace and mercy.
• 2:38:52
  Oh, that you will listen. The Bible says, does not wisdom
• 2:38:55
  cry? Pratana sabella kaparatos
• 2:39:00
  sabraka tabaraka tabash. Pray in the spirit for one
• 2:39:03
  minute. Pray in the spirit for one
• 2:39:07
  minute. Koinonia, a blessed people,
• 2:39:13
  Peres of light, Peres of power, wall changes, Shaprata, kabeleka
• 2:39:24
  parata kata, Pranta kata. Pray let your eyes be on Jesus,
• 2:39:33
  fixed on him, fixed on him. He is the lifter fixed on him.
• 2:39:43
  Let your mind be fixed on the Holy Spirit, the one akin to
• 2:39:49
  that little cruise of oil who can turn any man, ordinary man,
• 2:39:55
  regardless your background, make your life like the brightness of
• 2:40:00
  the firmament in Jesus name we. Pray Proverbs chapter 8 and
• 2:40:08
  verse one the blessings of wisdom.
• 2:40:12
  When you follow the way of the wise, this will become your
• 2:40:16
  destiny. Eventually I will read.
• 2:40:18
  Please just listen. Then I'll give you the next
• 2:40:21
  prayer points. Do not wisdom cry an
• 2:40:24
  understanding put forth her voice quickly.
• 2:40:28
  Let's go media. She standed in the top of the
• 2:40:31
  high places and by the way of the places of the paths, she
• 2:40:36
  cried at the gates. This is wisdom crying at the
• 2:40:41
  entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors.
• 2:40:45
  Verse 4. Unto you, O men, I call wisdom,
• 2:40:48
  and my voice is to the sons of man, O ye simple understand
• 2:40:54
  wisdom, and ye fools not as an insult be ye of an understanding
• 2:41:00
  heart. Verse 6 here.
• 2:41:02
  For I will speak of excellent things, and the opening of my
• 2:41:06
  lips shall be writing. 7 My mouth shall speak truth, and
• 2:41:11
  wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
• 2:41:14
  All the words of my mouth are in righteousness.
• 2:41:16
  There is nothing forward or perverse in them.
• 2:41:20
  Verse 9. They are all playing to him that
• 2:41:24
  understandeth, and write to them that find knowledge.
• 2:41:27
  Please be patient, keep looking, receive my instruction and not
• 2:41:31
  silver. Wisdom is speaking.
• 2:41:34
  Receive knowledge rather than choice.
• 2:41:36
  Gold 11 For wisdom is better than rubies, and all the things
• 2:41:42
  that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
• 2:41:46
  I Wisdom dwell with prudence, and I find out the knowledge of
• 2:41:50
  witty inventions. The fear of the Lord is to hate
• 2:41:53
  evil. This is wisdom speaking.
• 2:41:56
  Are you seeing the dimensions of wisdom and what it covers?
• 2:41:59
  Pride and arrogance and the evil way and the forward mouth I do
• 2:42:04
  hate. 14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom I am understanding.
• 2:42:10
  I have strength. 15 by me. Here it is King's reign and
• 2:42:17
  Princess decree. Justice by me, Princess, rule
• 2:42:22
  and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.
• 2:42:26
  I love them that love me. He has a fearful part of the
• 2:42:29
  Scripture. And those that seek me early
• 2:42:33
  shall find me reading to 2118. Riches and honor are with me.
• 2:42:40
  Yeah, durable riches and righteousness.
• 2:42:43
  My fruit is better than gold. Yeah, than fine gold, and my
• 2:42:48
  revenue than choice silver. 20I lead in the way of
• 2:42:53
  righteousness. In the midst of the paths of
• 2:42:57
  judgement, final verse. That I may cause those that love
• 2:43:01
  me to inherit substance and I will feel their treasures and I
• 2:43:11
  will. Feel their treasures.
• 2:43:16
  When they choose the path of wisdom, I will feel their
• 2:43:22
  treasures. Please open your mouth in one
• 2:43:24
  minute and say, Father, the grace for intimacy with the Holy
• 2:43:28
  Spirit, the grace for fellowship beyond the consciousness of
• 2:43:34
  being a man of God, Please. Go ahead and pray that the time
• 2:43:39
  that is wasted roaming around rig my rolling, gallivanting
• 2:43:43
  around trying to find vain solutions, I obtain grace to
• 2:43:48
  stay. To stay as I pray, to stay as I
• 2:43:53
  worship, to stay as I study the Word of God.
• 2:43:58
  Spirit of God, you are like that oil in my house.
• 2:44:03
  I am in debt, I am in trouble. My life is not working.
• 2:44:07
  Everything is failing and tearing apart.
• 2:44:11
  You have spoken to me tonight like Elisha spoke to the woman.
• 2:44:16
  You have spoken to me tonight like the wise spoke to the
• 2:44:20
  foolish Restore my relationship with you, restore my time with
• 2:44:29
  you. Everything that has stolen your
• 2:44:32
  place in my life, crept into my destiny, distracted me from
• 2:44:38
  intimacy with the Holy Spirit, and drawing the rich is the.
• 2:44:42
  Value that comes from that relationship.
• 2:44:45
  I pray for a restoration. I found my way back.
• 2:44:51
  I leave tonight the habitation of fools, the habitation of
• 2:44:56
  mochas, the habitation of those who disrespect the world,
• 2:45:00
  disrespect the Holy Spirit, disrespect process, disrespect
• 2:45:05
  sacrifice, disrespect growth. Now pray for passion to pursue
• 2:45:18
  knowledge. Go ahead and pray.
• 2:45:20
  Passion to pursue knowledge in a very structured way.
• 2:45:25
  Passion to be reoriented, to be educated afresh to go for
• 2:45:31
  knowledge. Man of God, pray, businessman,
• 2:45:35
  pray. Our destinies are the mercy of
• 2:45:37
  what we know or what we do not know.
• 2:45:41
  Examine what you call light to see and to verify that it is
• 2:45:45
  true light. Indeed, the Bible says that was
• 2:45:49
  the true light that lighted upon every man.
• 2:45:52
  There are false lights. They carry a semblance of
• 2:45:55
  liberty, ever learning, but never coming to the knowledge of
• 2:45:59
  the truth. Show me the path of life, oh
• 2:46:04
  God. Show me the way of the ancient.
• 2:46:08
  Show me the path of life, oh God.
• 2:46:10
  Show me the way of the wise. Show me the way of victory.
• 2:46:15
  Show me the way of rest. Show me the way of greatness,
• 2:46:19
  the way of ever increasing glory.
• 2:46:32
  Rata kata prata Kappa rakata prantas kateba lakata.

  Open up scripture for me. Show me the mysteries of the
• 2:46:58
  Kingdom connected to my greatness, connected to my

  Show me the way of rewriting history.
• 2:47:57
  In Jesus name we pray. In Jesus name we pray.
• 2:48:03
  We are going to pray for the staying power, the grace to stay
• 2:48:09
  until the Holy Ghost is done and begins to reveal the glory of
• 2:48:12
  God through you. Look at me.
• 2:48:15
  I confess to you that many times in this journey of imagines it
• 2:48:20
  can be very inconveniencing. There are times that you will
• 2:48:24
  almost give up. Sometimes even when you are one
• 2:48:27
  month left, it can look like I've I've done my best, oh God,
• 2:48:33
  I've stretched, I've prayed, I've fasted.
• 2:48:36
  Everyone is going to pray for the staying power.
• 2:48:38
  You have come too far. You can't go back.
• 2:48:42
  There are generations tied to you.
• 2:48:43
  Did you hear what I said? You have come too far.
• 2:48:46
  The devil is a liar. In this prayer we're going to
• 2:48:49
  silence the voice of discouragement.
• 2:48:52
  Don't let the devil say you are too old.
• 2:48:54
  You are too young. You are too this no say.
• 2:48:56
  In the name of Jesus I obtain grace, the staying power.
• 2:49:00
  Lift your voice and pray. Man of God, the anointing is
• 2:49:03
  almost there. Stay, stay, stay.
• 2:49:08
  Visibility is almost there. Stay.
• 2:49:12
  Stay undeniable wealth and prosperity.
• 2:49:17
  God's way is almost there. Stay someone.
• 2:49:21
  Pray the burden of prophecy. I know it's been 15 years now,
• 2:49:28
  but stay. O great daughter of Zion, it's
• 2:49:32
  been 20 years. Trusting, believing, pushing,
• 2:49:36
  praying, but stay, stay. You have come too fast.
• 2:49:41
  Stay. Gods word will not fail you.
• 2:49:47
  Mommy, pray. Pray you have stayed for your
• 2:49:51
  children. You are pushed in the spirit.
• 2:49:56
  Please go ahead and pray. In the midst of the injustices,
• 2:50:01
  in the midst of everything, the repeated failures.
• 2:50:05
  Stay young. The apostle in the making, young
• 2:50:09
  prophet in the making, young evangelist in the making, young
• 2:50:14
  pastor in the making. Stay you have prayed and it's
• 2:50:18
  not healed that stay. You have given.
• 2:50:21
  It's not healed that stay. Surely there is an end.
• 2:50:27
  One minute you are praying. Draw strength from the Spirit.
• 2:50:31
  Someone watching online, maybe a preacher, Someone watching
• 2:50:35

  A dear sister, a dear brother, a dear fellow colleague in the

• 2:51:11
  retreat, no surrender. Fresh determination, fresh fire.
• 2:51:16
  There are generations connected to you, connected to your grace.
• 2:51:22
  Don't let them sell your children because you do not know
• 2:51:26
  the mysteries of the oil. Don't let them sell your
• 2:51:29
  children because you do not know how to make treasures in your
• 2:51:33
  house. There is treasure to be desired.
• 2:51:38
  There is a word to be desired. There is glory to be desired.
• 2:51:45
  There is grace to be desired. There is a business coming to be
• 2:51:49
  desired. There is a ministry evolving to
• 2:51:53
  be desired. There are children coming to be
• 2:51:56
  desired. There are destinies emerging to
• 2:51:59
  be desired in the House of the wise, and indeed oil. 20 more
• 2:52:09
  seconds you are praying, obtaining grapes.
• 2:52:13
  I will not give up. I will cry, but I will stay.
• 2:52:19
  I may be discouraged, but I will stay.
• 2:52:22
  I will keep praying, I will keep studying, I will keep learning.
• 2:52:27
  I will keep crying for help, calling on the Holy Ghost.
• 2:52:31
  I will keep paying attention to the Word, keep submitting myself
• 2:52:35
  to learning. God does not fail.
• 2:52:40
  His Word does not fail. Hallelujah, Hallelujah when the
• 2:53:02
  glory is finally revealed through your life.
• 2:53:06
  Can I tell you this? The brightness of that glory can
• 2:53:13
  wipe away the memory of the seasons of pain in a way you
• 2:53:21
  can't believe. Sometimes when we go through
• 2:53:26
  seasons that are painful and uncomfortable, you are tempted
• 2:53:30
  to ask, can there ever be a better version of myself?
• 2:53:35
  But the key is to stay. I told you as a man of God,
• 2:53:39
  there were times I did everything right, even with the
• 2:53:43
  knowledge. Today I cannot say I did
• 2:53:46
  anything wrong. The principles were kept.
• 2:53:49
  It was just a matter of seasons for someone.
• 2:53:52
  You are not wrong. Don't change the formula, just
• 2:53:55
  stay. Just stay.
• 2:53:58
  The prayer formula is valid. The word study formula is valid.
• 2:54:03
  The honor family formula is valid.
• 2:54:06
  The diligence formula is valid. The consecration formula is
• 2:54:11
  valid. The service formula is valid.
• 2:54:15
  The growth formula is valid. The endurance formula is valid.
• 2:54:21
  Just a If I did not stay, I would not have any story to tell
• 2:54:28
  you. There are nations waiting for
• 2:54:30
  your story. Don't disappoint them.
• 2:54:35
  Don't arrive without treasure. And they say, so where are you
• 2:54:39
  coming from? And you say from the place of
• 2:54:41
  discouragement. And they say, so where is the
• 2:54:43
  fruit? Did you endure?
• 2:54:46
  And you say, no, I gave up. I say, why did you give up?
• 2:54:49
  Say, I did not know I was this close.
• 2:54:52
  I didn't know it was one more year left.
• 2:54:55
  I didn't know it was one more month left.
• 2:54:58
  I didn't know it was one more week left.
• 2:55:01
  I sense that the word for someone is don't give up.
• 2:55:05
  Stay, stay, stay. Wisdom does not look like wisdom
• 2:55:11
  till you see what it can do Stay.
• 2:55:15
  I'm not saying you will not cry, but stay.
• 2:55:19
  I'm not saying you will not be discouraged.
• 2:55:22
  Some of you don't need this sermon today.
• 2:55:24
  There are too many. Help us in your life.
• 2:55:26
  The someone is not useful now. Don't throw it.
• 2:55:29
  Archive it. A day will.
• 2:55:32
  Come on your journey, when you stand alone the Holy Ghost will
• 2:55:36
  remind you until you remember. I caused my son to preach that
• 2:55:39
  message. They that be wise, go and get
• 2:55:43
  it. This, ladies and gentlemen, is
• 2:55:46
  the culture of the wise. Culture is defined in social
• 2:55:51
  studies as the way of life of a people.
• 2:55:55
  Let this be your way of life, the oil, the treasure.
• 2:56:01
  You been the treasure then you are desired by the nations, the
• 2:56:08
  oil representing the health and the strength of your
• 2:56:12
  relationship with the Holy Spirit.
• 2:56:14
  And in ever increasing proportion He brings into your
• 2:56:18
  life knowledge, power, the anointing, all of the resources
• 2:56:25
  that make for superior enlightenment, gifts, abilities.
• 2:56:30
  He quickens things within you. And sooner or later you do not
• 2:56:35
  just become a possessor of treasures, you become an
• 2:56:38
  embodiment, a personification of a treasure to be desired.
• 2:56:44
  Then by himself, albeit using men, He will announce you to
• 2:56:49
  your world as a product that is furnished, as a product that is
• 2:56:54
  done with. Can I tell you this?
• 2:56:56
  When God decides that it is a man's season, war betides the
• 2:57:00
  man who stands God's way. If God has said this is your
• 2:57:04
  season, there is nothing the devil can do about it.
• 2:57:08
  And for someone, I'm echoing a sound from heaven.
• 2:57:12
  Step into your season. I'm telling you this.
• 2:57:16
  I'm echoing a sound from heaven. Step into your season.
• 2:57:22
  Step into your season. Your season of manifestation,
• 2:57:27
  your season of rewards, your season of rest, your season of
• 2:57:32
  visibility. I say it again.
• 2:57:35
  Your season of manifestation, your season of rest, your season
• 2:57:40
  of feasibility, your season of. Consolation in the name of of
• 2:57:45
  Jesus Christ in this season. God will use men to comfort you
• 2:57:53
  for all the times you cried. God will use men to comfort you
• 2:57:59
  for all the times you stayed when you would have gone back.
• 2:58:02
  God will use men to comfort you for being the first Christian in
• 2:58:07
  your family and still staying. God will comfort you for being
• 2:58:12
  the first person to be serious with destiny.
• 2:58:16
  God will comfort you for losing the job because you refuse to
• 2:58:21
  compromise. God will comfort you.
• 2:58:28
  In the name of. Jesus Christ, wave your hands to
• 2:58:31
  Jesus, give him praise. They that be wise they shall
• 2:58:39
  shine like the brightness of the firmament and then they that
• 2:58:43
  turn many to righteousness as the stars even forevermore.
• 2:58:46
  Let me have your attention everybody.
• 2:58:51
  I've shown you tonight from the lens of God's Word that there
• 2:58:54
  are two things that validate wisdom.
• 2:58:57
  The health of your relationship represented as the oil and your
• 2:59:01
  access to superior knowledge that.
• 2:59:04
  Turns you into a treasure to be desired by the nations.
• 2:59:08
  For some of you, you have the lamp, you need the oil.
• 2:59:13
  For many of you, you have little oil, but you need to borrow
• 2:59:18
  vessels. Get knowledge, go back and come
• 2:59:22
  this week, go to Koinonia Global, get a download of
• 2:59:27
  strategic teachings and begin to consume them with the passion of
• 2:59:32
  a winner. Hallelujah.
• 2:59:36
  Some of you may need to go back and listen to this message.
• 2:59:39
  I said many things in this message that you did not hear.
• 2:59:42
  Go and listen to it again. In the name of Jesus, let me
• 2:59:46
  call those who need to make it right with Jesus.
• 2:59:48
  We'll do that very quickly. It is part of the culture of the
• 2:59:52
  wise to give people an opportunity.
• 2:59:54
  You heard me speak about the possibility of translation.
• 2:59:58
  Some of you have been in the dwelling of people who do not
• 3:00:02
  value God and you're saying apostle hearing you teach
• 3:00:06
  tonight. The Spirit of God has convicted
• 3:00:09
  me so heavily. It's like a weight that has come
• 3:00:11
  upon me. I need to make it right with
• 3:00:14
  Jesus as I count. Please make your way quickly,
• 3:00:17
  Quickly. By now I shouldn't talk too much
• 3:00:20
  tonight. You've heard everything I said.
• 3:00:22
  There's no need cajoling you. There's no need.
• 3:00:25
  Giving you any long explanation, leave your seat and run quickly.
• 3:00:28
  Tonight's when is a is a serious business.
• 3:00:31
  Let's celebrate them as they come.
• 3:00:32
  One. God bless you, my brother.
• 3:00:34
  Bless you, my sister. You are choosing the way of the
• 3:00:40
  wise. You are choosing the way of the
• 3:00:43
  wise. Some of you are making this
• 3:00:45
  choice on behalf of your children.
• 3:00:47
  If your parents chose it, you will not be where you are.
• 3:00:50
  Don't just get angry with them now.
• 3:00:52
  It's your opportunity. You can make that choice for
• 3:00:54
  your destiny and also make it for your children and for your
• 3:00:58
  children's children. Two, I count 5 and we begin to
• 3:01:05
  pray. No shame, No Fear.
• 3:01:07
  This is family. This is home. 3 Come to Jesus,
• 3:01:13
  Come to Jesus. God bless you, my sister.
• 3:01:16
  God bless you, my brother. Takes a lot of courage to come
• 3:01:19
  here. I understand.
• 3:01:21
  That's why we're encouraging you with the handclap.
• 3:01:22
  Come, come, come. Takes a lot of courage, but it's
• 3:01:27
  worth it. It's worth it.
• 3:01:31
  Don't mind the devil as he tries to discourage you.
• 3:01:33
  Come, don't mind your friends, they may see you, but it's good
• 3:01:38
  that they see you so they know that a translation has happened
• 3:01:41
  today from the habitation of fools to the Habitation of the
• 3:01:46
  wise. 4A final count. And I begin to pray.
• 3:01:50
  I still see some people coming from behind.
• 3:01:52
  Please make his double up. Five.
• 3:01:55
  Let's give them a big God bless you, every one of them.
• 3:02:01
  Hallelujah. Thank you so very much my dear
• 3:02:04
  brothers and my sisters, and to someone who is praying this
• 3:02:07
  prayer online, I may not see you but I love you with all my
• 3:02:11
  heart. Please do not miss a chance.
• 3:02:13
  To pray. As I lead this ones in prayer,
• 3:02:15
  join them. We'll give you an opportunity to
• 3:02:17
  let us know that you are there and that you made this decision.
• 3:02:20
  But for all of you who are in front, thank you very much.
• 3:02:23
  Thank you. I appreciate you for the
• 3:02:25
  courage. It takes a lot of courage.
• 3:02:28
  Lift your right hand, let it be high before God and say this
• 3:02:32
  loud and clear. Say Lord Jesus, tonight.
• 3:02:37
  I have heard your word, say it. I have heard your word.
• 3:02:41
  I consciously choose the way of the wise.
• 3:02:47
  I choose Jesus. I choose eternal life.
• 3:02:51
  I declare that from today you are my Savior, You are my Lord,
• 3:02:58
  You are my King. I declare that the power of sin,
• 3:03:04
  Satan, hell, and the grave is broken over my life from
• 3:03:10
  tonight. I'm a child of God.
• 3:03:12
  I go forward ever and backward, never in Jesus mighty name.
• 3:03:18
  Keep your hands lifted Father. I thank you for my dear brothers
• 3:03:21
  and sisters, those who are here on site and the many who are
• 3:03:24
  online. In the name that is above all
• 3:03:27
  names. I decree and I declare by the
• 3:03:29
  power of the Holy Spirit that the Lord Himself will bless you.
• 3:03:34
  I pray that this decision will remain true and permanent in
• 3:03:38
  your life. That dysfunctional relationship
• 3:03:41
  with Jesus, even through the Holy Ghost, will evolve into a
• 3:03:44
  life of wisdom and power and grace.
• 3:03:48
  I pray for you that you'll begin a functional relationship with
• 3:03:51
  the Holy Spirit from tonight. It will lead you to superior
• 3:03:55
  knowledge and the faith to release that knowledge so that
• 3:03:58
  it produces victory. It is released upon you.
• 3:04:02
  I call you signs and wonders in the making.
• 3:04:04
  I call you wise men and the Lord bless you.
• 3:04:07
  The Lord increase you for this. In Jesus mighty and precious
• 3:04:11
  name we pray. Amen and Amen.
• 3:04:14
  Please look to my right. There's a gentleman waving the
• 3:04:17
  placard representing the counselors.
• 3:04:19
  They will have a quick word and a prayer with you.
• 3:04:22
  Thereafter, you'll be back to your seats.
• 3:04:25
  Let's honor them as they go. For those of you who are online,
• 3:04:28
  please send to our media using whatever links that you'll be
• 3:04:31
  given. Let them know that you made
• 3:04:33
  Jesus Lord of your life, Hallelujah.
• 3:04:38
  Praise the name of the Lord, Amen.
• 3:04:40
  Now, very quickly, we're wrapping up.
• 3:04:43
  I'm about to speak over your life, but I just want to respond
• 3:04:46
  to a number of you have sent me text messages asking if you can
• 3:04:51
  have a view of our site. The reason why we've not
• 3:04:55
  responded is because there's a lot of work going on there
• 3:04:59
  there. There's a lot of engineering
• 3:05:00
  work going. There's Clarion grading.
• 3:05:03
  We're doing so many things, but hopefully we'll discuss with the
• 3:05:07
  engineers. If they give us clearance, then
• 3:05:12
  maybe by next week, Please remind me protocol.
• 3:05:15
  Maybe by next week we could schedule a day, maybe from
• 3:05:19
  Monday to Friday, give any time, maybe from 8:00 to 2:00 in the
• 3:05:23
  afternoon or so, where we'll allow anyone who is part of the
• 3:05:26
  global family will just give you an opportunity to just peep
• 3:05:29
  through the site. Just to encourage you.
• 3:05:31
  I know that so many people just want to see.
• 3:05:34
  They just want to have. Some is for prayer, some is just
• 3:05:37
  to see what is happening. It's, it's for all of us and
• 3:05:41
  it's the Lord's doing. So we're not I, I, I know that
• 3:05:44
  some of you don't just want to go there on site as the first
• 3:05:47
  time, but the reason why we've not responded is because we're
• 3:05:51
  trying to make sure that we manage.
• 3:05:54
  There's a lot of machines there and construction work going on.
• 3:05:57
  But I promise you before now and the miracle service will work a
• 3:06:02
  system where we're just, you'll be guided and maybe we'll put in
• 3:06:07
  from any Monday to Friday, we'll just give you room, even if it's
• 3:06:11
  for 10 minutes, just stand, even if it's at the gate or you step
• 3:06:15
  inside, just look at it. Some of you just want to go
• 3:06:18
  speak a prayer there, you know, just connect to what God is
• 3:06:21
  doing. We'll give you that opportunity.
• 3:06:23
  Praise the name of the Lord. Hallelujah.
• 3:06:25
  Are you happy about that? So by next week, we'll work with
• 3:06:30
  the engineers and the protocol security department to create a
• 3:06:33
  little schedule so that we'll just give people an opportunity.
• 3:06:37
  There's nothing to hide. The site is not in heaven is
• 3:06:40
  right here. So we'll allow you so that you
• 3:06:42
  just take a look at it. It will help you to appreciate
• 3:06:45
  what is going on. And there's a lot that is going
• 3:06:47
  on and we're happy. We're, I mean, doing a lot of
• 3:06:50
  things, lots of work, excavations, grading, clearing,
• 3:06:55
  and all of that. Keep praying for us, pray for
• 3:06:57
  our engineers, pray for our consultants.
• 3:06:59
  We're doing a lot of work trying to make sure we get the site
• 3:07:02
  ready for the convention and it's going to be a glorious
• 3:07:07
  time. The Lord bless you in Jesus
• 3:07:09
  name. Everybody, please rise, receive
• 3:07:11
  the blessing and then we're done.
• 3:07:12
  This week is blessed for you in the name of Jesus.
• 3:07:17
  Again to a receiver, this week is blessed for you in the name
• 3:07:22
  of Jesus. I declared blessed for your
• 3:07:24
  children, blessed for your spouse, blessed for your job.
• 3:07:29
  In the name of Jesus, pain and reproach is far from you this
• 3:07:33
  week. In the name of Jesus Christ,
• 3:07:36
  good things will gravitate towards your life.
• 3:07:39
  In the name of Jesus, your hunger for the presence of God
• 3:07:43
  will multiply this week. Your hunger for the study of the
• 3:07:48
  Word will multiply this week. Your passion for the things of
• 3:07:52
  God will multiply this week. I declare that trouble is far
• 3:07:56
  from you. Regret is far from you, pain is
• 3:08:01
  far from you in the name of Jesus.
• 3:08:05
  If it is good made come to you. If it is a blessing, made find
• 3:08:10
  you. If it makes for lifting, made
• 3:08:13
  locate you. If it's for pain and regret, it
• 3:08:16
  will never find you. In the name of Jesus Christ.
• 3:08:21
  What you have been looking for made look for you in the name of
• 3:08:25
  Jesus Christ. I declare from Sunday to Sunday,
• 3:08:29
  let it be laughter from Sunday to Sunday, let it be victory
• 3:08:34
  from Sunday to Sunday, let it be advancement in the name of Jesus
• 3:08:38
  Christ. This is the week you will record
• 3:08:41
  favor every day. I say it again, this is the week
• 3:08:45
  you will record favor every day. Not once a week, not three times
• 3:08:49
  a week, every day in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 3:08:53
  This is also a week you will record miracles every day,
• 3:08:57
  testimonies every day in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 3:09:02
  As you go out you are blessed. As you come in you are blessed.
• 3:09:07
  Everything you lay your hands to do is blessed.
• 3:09:10
  Enjoy wisdom this week. Connect with wise people.
• 3:09:15
  This week in Jesus mighty name we pray, Amen and Amen.
• 3:09:20
  Father, we want to thank you again.
• 3:09:22
  For this service, thank you for an opportunity to hear and grow
• 3:09:26
  the more. Thank you for teaching us the
• 3:09:28
  way of the wise. I pray in the name of Jesus that
• 3:09:31
  no one here will be a victim of the things that we've learned.
• 3:09:34
  Culture us into a life of deep intimacy with the Holy Spirit.
• 3:09:39
  Help us to press for the knowledge that distinguishes US.
• 3:09:42
  Spirit of God, we submit to you. Make treasures out of our lives,
• 3:09:46
  treasures to be desired in the name of Jesus Christ, that we
• 3:09:50
  will testify great things from this message we have heard
• 3:09:54
  tonight to you be all the glory in Jesus name.
• 3:09:58
  Together let's share the grace now, the grace of our Lord Jesus
• 3:10:01
  Christ, the love of God, the sweet fellowship of the Holy
• 3:10:05
  Spirit. Let it rest and abide with us
• 3:10:07
  now and forever. Amen.
• 3:10:09
  Surely God's goodness and His mercies follow us all the days
• 3:10:14
  of our lives as we dwell in the House of the Lord, and it's
• 3:10:18
  forever and ever. Amen.
• 3:10:20
  God bless you. Please greet someone and then
• 3:10:22
  look forward to the service on Sunday.
