GAINING SPEED BY APOSTLE JOSHUA SELMAN (IMPARTATION SERVICE) ACCELERATE CONFERENCE 2024 LAGOS-NIGERIA · Selah Media House

0:03
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Father, help us this morning.
0:11
In the name of Jesus. Our hearts are open to receive,
0:15
and in the name of Jesus we declare that it's a new season
0:18
for us. By the power of the Holy Spirit.
0:22
Let grace rest upon someone this morning.
0:25
Let your hand be evident upon someone's life this morning.
0:29
In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
0:32
While standing again, please help me honor Pastor Godman and
0:35
his dear wife. Thank you.
0:38
Thank you, Sir. Hallelujah.
0:44
So we'll do it this way. There'll be a teaching session,
0:48
but you'll also be a prayer meeting.
0:49
Hallelujah. So every once in a while we'll
0:52
stand to pray, or at least pray while sitting.
0:55
Just open up your heart. It's an impartation this morning
0:59
and I'm trusting honestly that grace will rest from heaven over
1:02
someone's life in the name of Jesus.
1:07
While I prayed about my final session, all I kept hearing in
1:11
my spirit was speed, acceleration, speed,
1:16
acceleration, speed. And so my charge for us this
1:20
morning is because God has seen that someone's pace is too slow.
1:24
There is a grace that wants to move you, move you forward.
1:28
You believe that shout Amen. Please be seated.
1:34
Please be seated. Genesis chapter 27.
1:40
There are three factors that are responsible for the results that
1:45
we command in this Kingdom. 3 Principal factors Number one,
1:52
wisdom #2 faith. Number three, power.
2:00
These are the tripartite forces that if missing in the life of a
2:07
believer, you will never, never be a representation of the glory
2:12
of God. Number one is wisdom.
2:16
Access to the mysteries of the Kingdom alongside the knowledge
2:21
of the dynamics on how to engage them.
2:24
Most believers are not able to excel in life because they lack
2:29
wisdom. I'll tell you the difference.
2:32
You can have knowledge, but knowledge is not wisdom.
2:36
Knowledge means a coordinated gathering of useful information,
2:41
but it does not mean you know how to activate them for your
2:45
profiting. Knowledge is important because
2:48
you cannot have wisdom without knowledge.
2:50
Wisdom is derived from knowledge.
2:53
Are we together? So most believers have
2:56
knowledge. Knowledge gathers information.
3:01
Understanding explains the working dynamics of the
3:06
knowledge you now have. Then wisdom supplies the grace
3:10
to engage the truths so that it profits you.
3:14
So for everyone who wants to change their level in life and
3:18
destiny, spiritually, economically, your first prayer
3:22
should be access to wisdom. Except by me King's reign and
3:27
Princess decree justice with me our riches, wealth and honor, ye
3:32
durable riches that those that seek me early.
3:35
There is timing to the positive. Wisdom Hallelujah dot not wisdom
3:41
cry. The Bible says there is a
3:43
relationship between wisdom and mighty walks.
3:46
If you lack mighty walks, if your life is full of small
3:50
things, the diagnosis is that you are bankrupt of wisdom.
3:54
Someone say wisdom, Shout it again, say wisdom.
3:58
I'm saying that because that is what is resting upon someone.
4:02
You can tell the kind and the dimension of wisdom at work in
4:06
you by the results that your life commands wisdom.
4:09
Most believers lack wisdom. Wisdom is different from
4:14
intelligence. Intelligence means that your
4:18
intellect has been so developed along an area of thought.
4:22
Are we together? Yes.
4:24
Just because your intellect is quick and does not mean you are
4:27
wise. Many people are intelligent but
4:30
not wise. They are academically
4:33
intelligent, but they are not wise.
4:36
You cannot see them engage the principles of the Kingdom.
4:39
So we are not talking about being intelligent.
4:43
It's important to be intelligent.
4:44
It enhances your manifesting wisdom.
4:48
But I know many intelligent people who are completely
4:52
bankrupt of the wisdom of God. I needed to say that so you do
4:56
not flatter yourself that oh, I'm intelligent and that means
5:00
I'm wise. The wisdom.
5:01
See, there are several kinds of wisdom.
5:04
In fact, the Bible teaches about 5 dimensions of wisdom, godly
5:08
wisdom, 5 expressions of it. But I'm not getting into there.
5:14
Divine direction is a subset of wisdom.
5:17
Divine strategy is a subset of wisdom.
5:20
Wisdom is not just generic in its operation.
5:23
Are we together now? When you want to prosper, these
5:26
are the 2 dimensions of wisdom. You need divine strategies and
5:30
divine direction. It is not every dimension of
5:34
wisdom that directly translates to the prosperity of an
5:37
individual. Are we learning this morning?
5:44
Should I pursue? And it says pursue, it will
5:48
pursue, you will overtake. And without fail, it says, you
5:51
will recover. Are we together?
5:55
This is very important wisdom. How do you access wisdom?
6:01
There are many ways to access wisdom from as taught in
6:05
Scripture. You can access wisdom first and
6:08
foremost by engaging the law of the Lord.
6:15
The law of the Lord, the Word of God, is able to make men wise,
6:18
it says. I commend you to God and to the
6:26
word of His grace, which is able to build you up, and then to
6:30
give you an inheritance among them that are sanctified.
6:33
And that word that the Bible says is the compendium of God's
6:37
wisdom. Christ came not just to reveal
6:40
the wisdom of God. He came as the wisdom of God.
6:43
So as you interact with the Word of God, you access wisdom.
6:49
Wisdom by knowing the ways of the Spirit and knowing how to
6:53
engage the ways of the Spirit for your profiting.
6:56
Are we together? Yes.
6:59
You can access wisdom directly from God through prayer.
7:03
You can pray yourself into a wiser version of yourself
7:08
because prayer allows for transitions in the spirit.
7:12
Luke 9 I believe verse 29 And as he prayed, the fashion of his
7:18
countenance was altered and his raiment became white and
7:22
glittering. It is it is possible for someone
7:26
to pray a foolish version of yourself into a wise version of
7:30
yourself. Lord, I'm tired of making a wise
7:33
decisions and you begin to pray. You align your mind with that of
7:38
the Holy Spirit, and you will be surprised at the remarkable
7:42
results that come out of your life for someone here.
7:45
You are not an evil person, but all the results around your life
7:50
are the results of somebody who does not know God.
7:52
The missing ingredient is wisdom.
7:56
There are many sincere people who keep punishing themselves
8:00
with decisions that are self sabotaging because it may be a
8:05
popular decision, but it's not founded by wisdom.
8:09
Can you lay your hands on your head in one minute and cry for
8:13
wisdom at a higher level? Go ahead, pray, pray, be
8:17
serious, pray. Tired of making decisions that
8:22
are pegging my life down, pegging my business down,
8:25
pegging my ministry down. Someone lay your hands upon your
8:29
head and speak. Shabba kaparusa prendacia.
8:34
Wisdom, wisdom, wisdom. Hallelujah.
8:49
Wisdom is directly revealed in the quality of the decisions
8:54
that you make, because decisions in truth decide destiny.
8:59
Every, every step, every next step in your destiny is at the
9:06
mercy of the kind and the quality of decisions that you
9:09
make. Now, let me tell you something
9:11
about decisions. Nobody has the power to choose
9:14
consequences. You don't choose consequences.
9:18
You make choices and decisions. And with every choice and every
9:22
decision, there are consequences.
9:24
Connected. Are we together?
9:27
Yeah. So if your life and my life is
9:31
not making constructive progress, we must go back to the
9:35
drawing board and investigate carefully the basis of our
9:39
decisions. Wisdom #2 faith.
9:45
Faith. The Bible says that just shall
9:49
leave by faith. The just shall leave by faith.
9:57
What is faith? The action you take as a
10:00
demonstration of your persuasion over God's integrity.
10:05
The action that you take, not just the confession that you
10:09
make, the action of obedience that attests to the fact that
10:14
you believe God. Faith is not just believing God.
10:18
You can believe God and yet you're not walking by faith.
10:22
Faith goes beyond the realm of believing.
10:24
I am believing God. I agree with you, but that would
10:27
not bring results for you. Are we together now?
10:30
If it be thou, bid me come. And he said come.
10:35
And the one who actually got up and walked on water was the one
10:39
manifesting faith. I hope you know, he never said
10:43
Peter come. Peter was the one who asked a
10:45
question, but he said come. That means anyone, anyone at
10:50
all. The one who walked on water was
10:52
not the one who heard Jesus. The one who walked on water was
10:55
the one who took the step. The name of that step was faith.
11:02
They heard the word just like we did, but the war did not profit
11:06
them not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
11:12
Everything in your life, your exploits in this Kingdom is
11:17
always and will always be faith dependent.
11:20
I learned early in life and ministry that there are no
11:22
guarantees anywhere. There are no guarantees
11:26
anywhere. Vain is the help of man.
11:29
But the Bible says they looked onto him and their faces were
11:32
lightened. Say faith.
11:34
I'm shaking on belief from someone this morning because
11:37
your disappointment is because you have channeled your your
11:42
trust and confidence on people and vein systems and they keep
11:46
disappointing you. Faith.
11:48
The confident assurance that God is not a man, that He should lie
11:53
nor the Son of man, that he should repent, That if he has
11:56
said it is within his power to make it happen.
11:59
There are two things that makes God mighty.
12:02
Number one is that He has integrity #2 that He's all
12:07
powerful. These are the attributes of God
12:11
that faith is hinged on #1 His integrity #2 His might, His
12:17
power. There are people who have
12:19
integrity. They are well-intentioned, but
12:22
they do not have the wherewithal.
12:24
So they want to help. They intend to help, but they do
12:28
not have the power. There are others who have the
12:31
power to help, but they lack the consistency of character to keep
12:35
the award. God has both integrity and
12:39
ability. This is the basis of our trust
12:41
in Him, that when God says all nations will call you bless, He
12:48
meant everything He said. It is up to you now to believe
12:53
and engage by faith. Are we together now?
12:58
If you do not understand the dynamics of faith, believe me,
13:02
you will not make progress, not constructive progress.
13:06
You cannot do great things for the Kingdom.
13:08
You see the way God speaks to men, He speaks to men like he's
13:12
speaking to Himself. You may have heard me say this.
13:15
When God talks to you, he does not talk to you at your level.
13:19
He talks to you like he's talking to himself.
13:21
There is a dimension of Him in you that he's speaking to.
13:25
That is the reason why everything he tells you is not
13:28
what you can do by your strength.
13:30
When you hear God and the instruction is what you can do
13:33
by yourself, you most likely had a familiar spirit.
13:36
God will have to tell you something that will require
13:39
faith. It will be a bigger instruction
13:41
than your current capacity. You will always need to grow to
13:45
obey God. Did you have what I said?
13:47
You will always need to grow to obey every instruction that
13:51
comes. Faith.
13:54
You need faith for exploits. You need faith to remain in
13:57
health. You need faith to advance.
14:00
You need faith to break the barriers that life will bring
14:04
before you. I'm praying for someone here.
14:06
The name of Jesus doubt, a life of fear, a life that is not
14:12
consistent with the word of God. I'm praying that that kind of
14:15
living comes to an end. Say in the name of Jesus, I
14:23
obtain grace to walk by faith. Say it again, In the name of
14:28
Jesus, I obtain grace to walk by faith.
14:33
Turn that prayer. Turn it to prayer.
14:34
In one minute I obtain grace to walk.
14:38
By faith you will build that house.
14:40
By faith there are no guarantees anywhere that ministry will
14:47
excel. By faith your organization will
14:51
rise and scale and grow by faith.
14:59
In Jesus name I pray. The third is power.
15:03
Power is a very important component.
15:07
I just felt stirred in my heart to just start by showing you
15:11
these three components. Can I tell you every time you
15:14
hear a man of God dispensing the word, this is the, these are the
15:19
coordinates of his discussion. He's communicating the wisdom of
15:23
God. He's planting faith in your
15:25
heart, or he's supplying power to your destiny by the Spirit.
15:30
Luke 13435 Gabriel comes to Mary bringing her glad tidings and
15:36
telling her that she's going to be with child and that a man
15:40
will not play any role in the arrival of that child.
15:44
And he said how shall these things be seeing that I know not
15:49
a man? How shall these things be,
15:52
seeing that I currently do not have a land in Lagos?
15:55
How shall these things be, seeing that my mother and my
15:59
father have passed on to glory? How shall these things be,
16:03
seeing that I know not a man? The answer for you this morning
16:06
is found in verse 35. Let's read together in concert
16:10
when we have it projected. Verse 35 ready. 1-2 Read.
16:14
And the Angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall
16:18
come upon you, and the power of the Highest shall over shadow
16:23
you. Stop there, the Holy Ghost.
16:26
How shall that business go forward?
16:28
The Holy Ghost shall come upon you, and the power of the
16:31
Highest shall over shadow you. Where will the clients come
16:35
from? The Holy Ghost will come upon
16:36
them, and the power of the Highest will gravitate them
16:40
towards you. How shall these things be?
16:43
Listen, let me tell you the truth.
16:45
It is not every part of the believer's journey that is
16:48
explainable. You know God is leading you
16:52
because there must be a mystery component to your result.
16:55
It is not every part of your result that can answer to
16:58
science. It is not every part of your
17:00
result that should answer to logic.
17:02
There should be a part of your result that only being spiritual
17:06
can explain it. If your results are all way
17:11
economic, all way intellectual, all way logical, then it's not
17:16
God helping you. You are just using common sense.
17:18
There is a dimension to authentic result that only
17:22
spirituality can explain. Like Pastor shared before I came
17:26
up, Laban went and consulted by divination and he said I have
17:31
learned that God has blessed me for your sake.
17:33
You came into my house with something upon your head, and
17:37
it's redefining the finances, redefining the wealth, the
17:41
estate of this family. Power is important.
17:46
Many things, in fact, all things answer to power.
17:51
Yes, Sir. It says by you, I can run
17:54
through a troop and by my God, I can leap over a wall.
18:00
It takes the power of the highest.
18:03
And it's in light of that, I just want to show you one key.
18:07
And then we pray. Is someone ready for power this
18:09
morning? Genesis 27.
18:13
The long read is 1 to 20. I will save us that right for
18:16
reference. I would.
18:18
So here is Isaac, the father of Jacob and Esau.
18:23
Are we together? This is coming to the end of his
18:27
days and is about to speak a blessing upon his sons.
18:30
Then he calls on Esau and says, Esau, you are my son, I want you
18:35
to go to the field. Listen carefully.
18:37
I hope you know that Isaac was a rich man.
18:39
Isaac had cattle. Isaac had everything upon.
18:43
But he said, I do not want the one from my house.
18:46
I want you to go to the field for me.
18:48
Go and get an animal. Come and make me venison such as
18:53
my soul loves, because I want to declare a blessing to confer a
18:58
blessing upon you and then I will die.
19:01
And while that discussion was happening, Rebecca, their mother
19:04
was somewhere listening on hearing that is so departed with
19:09
joy to go and hunt. Are we still together?
19:14
And then she calls Jacob and says, Jacob, my son quickly go
19:18
to the back of the house and get an animal and prepare will
19:23
prepare everything and. Give.
19:25
You, your father, is about to release something, something
19:29
spiritual, something science cannot explain, he said quickly.
19:34
He said, But my brother is a hairy person.
19:37
My father will feel him. At this point, Isaac is blind.
19:43
Are we together? And he said, don't worry, we'll
19:46
find a way. We would develop a strategy so
19:49
that once he feels you, he will feel the hair and think it's
19:51
your brother. And that was done while Jacob
19:56
now notice two of them were doing something.
20:01
One was at home trying to get the kid to prepare.
20:04
The mother was helping him and Esau was at the field.
20:07
Now go to verse 20, please. Genesis chapter 20.
20:11
Chapter 27. Let's do 19 and 20.
20:15
Genesis. And Jacob said to his father, I
20:20
am Esau, because he now came with the very sin.
20:24
And the father said, what is going on here?
20:27
I am Esau thy first born. Now I hope you know he was
20:31
lying, but I just want to draw a principle out of it.
20:35
I'm not saying you should tell lies.
20:36
Are we together? But I want to draw a principle
20:39
out of it. I am Esau, thy first born.
20:43
I have done according as thou bedest me.
20:46
And I pray thee sit and eat of my venison, that thou may bless
20:50
me. May God open someone's eyes.
20:52
Now I want you to shout verse 20 with all your heart and with
20:57
everything you have. Are you ready one to read?
21:00
And Isaac said to his son, How is it that thou had found it so
21:06
quickly? Stop.
21:07
Stop. He said no, this kind of result
21:11
should not happen. By this time I am blind, but I
21:14
know how long it takes to go to the field and to find venison
21:20
prepaid and bring it. How is it?
21:24
By what technology have you arrived this early?
21:27
Give me the answer again in a chorus. 1 to go.
21:35
One more time. How was your business so
21:42
established in one year? This does not happen.
21:46
It defines economic principles. We've been in this thing for a
21:50
long time. We've been in ministry for
21:53
years. How is it that God has lifted
21:55
you and caused you to be global so quickly?
21:58
And Jacob said, IA part of your mentorship to me is that speed
22:04
is a possibility in the Kingdom. He said, because the Lord
22:07
brought it, I can look for it and find it, but the Lord can
22:12
bring it to me. Turn that into prayer in one
22:16
minute. There are things God can bring
22:18
to man. Is someone praying?
22:23
How is it that thou has found it quickly?
22:27
Shabaka Paracatos, how is it that thou has found it quickly?
22:34
How did you get the land so quickly?
22:37
How did you connect to help us so quickly?
22:40
He said it is because the Lord has brought it to me, The Lord
22:45
has brought it to me, the Lord has brought it to me, the Lord
22:50
has brought it to me. Go ahead, please pray.
23:14
Ah, someone's life is changing this morning.
23:16
My God, my God, someone's destiny is changing.
23:20
How is it that thou has found it so quickly?
23:25
How did you get the promotion quickly?
23:27
How did you ascend in the Spirit so quickly?
23:31
By this time last year you were not saved.
23:33
But right now you are not just saved, you are filled with the
23:37
Holy Ghost carrying fire. How did you grow so quickly?
23:42
Because Lord, Pastor, pray, businessman, pray.
23:48
Because the Lord has brought it to me.
23:51
Because the Lord has assisted me.
23:54
Because there is a God factor in the question of my destiny.
24:05
Breathe Lord, breathe, Breathe, Lord, breathe.
24:10
Breathe upon my life. Breathe, Lord, breathe, breathe,
24:19
Lord, breathe, Breathe upon my life I receive.
24:27
I manifest your power and your wisdom till the nations see
24:39
Jesus. Lift it up.
24:44
Exalted I receive, I manifest your power and your wisdom, till
24:57
the nations see Jesus. Lift it up.
25:04
Glorify. Breathe, Lord break.
25:10
Breathe, Lord. Break.
25:19
Hallelujah, in the name of Jesus, I tell you something is
25:25
shifting in your destiny. Believe me on this.
25:29
Now please sit for a moment. Be very sensitive, very
25:33
sensitive this morning. Speed is defined as your rate of
25:40
accomplishment with respect to time, your rate of
25:45
accomplishment, speed in the Kingdom, and as touching this
25:50
context, we're not discussing physics here.
25:54
Speed with respect to destiny actualization is defined as the
25:59
rate of accomplishment with respect to time.
26:03
The amount of of accomplishment that can be done can be
26:10
manifested through the life of an individual with respect to
26:13
time. It's called speed.
26:18
When God wants to help you, He grants you grace to be able to
26:22
do so much within a short time. Now, let me tell you why speed
26:26
is important. Ladies and gentlemen #1 the unit
26:30
of destiny is time, the unit of destiny.
26:34
Destiny is measured as a function of time, and we know
26:41
that under normal circumstances. Lend me your attention, please.
26:45
Under normal circumstances, time is irreversible.
26:49
Are we together? Time cannot be reversed.
26:52
That means we cannot go into May 2024 ever again.
26:58
It's gone, gone forever. That means when time passes, as
27:03
we say, many things have gone with that time.
27:06
Under normal circumstances, that means we are called to be
27:11
efficient. In fact, Jesus said this in John
27:13
9, I believe. As for thereabout, he said I
27:16
must walk the walks of him that sent me.
27:19
Listen while it is day for the night comet where no man can
27:25
walk. Again in Ephesians chapter 5,
27:28
when you read verse 15 particularly, he was speaking
27:31
about walking circumspectly, as wise and not as unwise.
27:36
He said redeeming the time because the days are evil,
27:41
redeeming the time because the days are evil.
27:44
The word redeem means to buy back.
27:47
He begins to introduce a concept.
27:49
How does a man buy back time? Are we together?
27:55
There are three things I've learnt about time.
27:56
Number one, time can be invested, time can be spent and
28:02
time can be wasted. Time can be invested, time can
28:09
be spent, and time, like currency, can be wasted now for
28:20
various reasons, for various reasons.
28:24
Please listen and I just connect what I'm saying now to the
28:28
teaching of pastor yesterday. I believe that this is a
28:31
prophetic message that God is bringing about this issue of
28:35
time. Remember, Pastor spoke a bit
28:37
about delay yesterday. Are we together for various
28:41
reasons? The average believer right now
28:44
already has time against him. Are we together for various
28:47
reasons? Let me give you some of them.
28:50
For reasons of ignorance, for reasons of carelessness, for
28:54
reasons of demonic factors, many already have time against them.
29:00
We have carved out a name. We have given a name for a
29:06
situation where time is against a man.
29:09
We call it delay. We call it stagnation.
29:12
Delay or stagnation is the name given to a situation where time
29:17
is already against you. In other words, there's so much
29:20
to be done in your life, but you are not catching up at the pace
29:25
of the time that is left. If you are to live 80 years on
29:31
earth and you celebrate 50 years, you are not celebrating
29:34
50 years, you are celebrating 30 years remaining.
29:39
Are we together? Listen very carefully because
29:42
this might concern many people now for various reasons.
29:46
Many already have time against them.
29:48
I'm telling you this for starters.
29:53
Many people did not get to know God early.
29:56
I hope you know it takes time to know God and to grow #2 many did
30:00
not have the privilege of being planted under a teaching priest
30:05
for structured mentorship early, and so they kept going around in
30:09
circles and wasting their time. Are we together?
30:14
There are two scriptural ways to redeem time, my God.
30:22
Every time God wants to help a man redeem time, he introduces 2
30:26
things to your life. Number one is called restoration
30:30
#2 is called speed. Please don't forget this.
30:34
These are the two scriptural ways to receive help from God
30:40
with respect to time. 1 is called restoration.
30:44
Say restoration. 2 is called time.
30:48
I mean, it's called speed restoration.
30:51
What does it mean to restore? To restore means to bring
30:55
events, events that should have happened and to put them in your
31:00
today. Events that could not happen in
31:03
your yesterday. God is able to draw those events
31:06
and bring it in your today. This is God for you, the destiny
31:10
helper you would have met in 2019, but because of
31:13
carelessness and insensitivity, the person came and passed and
31:17
you could not see and recognize. God is able to.
31:20
Reschedule a scenario in your today that still makes you meet
31:24
that person again. It's called restoration.
31:27
Does that look like what is happening to someone?
31:30
That in the name of Jesus, what could not happen because you
31:33
were not sensitive? It came as an impression, but at
31:36
that point you are not grown spiritually to know what that
31:40
impulse meant. And certain doors passed you,
31:43
certain opportunities open and close, and you were not.
31:46
There, I'm praying for you, the God of all grace, even the
31:49
Father of of Spirit. May he reschedule events for you
31:53
again. Reschedule events for you again.
31:56
Give you another opportunity again.
32:00
Hallelujah. In Genesis chapter 28, Jacob had
32:05
an opportunity to encounter the God of the Bible, but he was
32:09
careless and he was not sensitive.
32:12
He saw a ladder that connected the heavens and the earth with
32:15
angels ascending and descending. Every time you see angels in
32:19
motion it means that God is there is a transaction happening
32:24
and the angels go and come for the sake of the sins.
32:28
Yet there was no portion for him in that encounter.
32:31
How do you see such a glorious encounter and nothing got to
32:34
you? He got up and said the Lord was
32:36
in this place and I knew not. Do you know that it was after
32:42
that event that the whole story in Laban's house started?
32:47
Only God knows the message the angels would have told him that
32:50
perhaps would have avoided a lot of tragedies in Laban's house.
32:56
The next time Jacob meets with God is in chapter 32.
33:00
And this time around he was sensitive enough.
33:03
God rescheduled an event again. God rest also.
33:07
I want you to believe this. Are we together, God restores,
33:12
God can restore, he can restore joy, He can restore peace, he
33:16
can restore finances. You doubt me, ask Job.
33:19
Job, a man who loved God. He got to a point where his life
33:23
was torn into pieces. But in Job 42 and verse 10, I
33:27
like this. The Bible says, and God, God
33:30
restored. Give it to us, please.
33:32
The Bible says and the Lord turned the captivity of Job.
33:38
So the name of what Job went to was called captivity.
33:41
But the Lord turned the captivity of Job.
33:44
It says turn again our captivity like the streams of the Negev.
33:48
Turn our captivity around. Let it be as though we were
33:51
dreaming restoration. And then number 2 is speed.
34:02
Let me give you 4 keys very quickly.
34:06
I'll just list them and then we'll pray. 4 keys that activate
34:11
acceleration and speed. Is someone ready to go forward?
34:17
4 keys. When God wants to bring speed to
34:21
a man, He helps you by opening you up to these 4 keys, and then
34:29
you have accelerated accomplishments within a short
34:32
period of time #1 wisdom. The first key that controls
34:39
speed in the Kingdom is wisdom, the presence of wisdom, right?
34:44
For reference, Matthew chapter 25, one to 13.
34:49
Matthew 25, one to 13. There's no time to discuss that.
34:53
But that was the story of the 10 virgins.
34:57
The first thing about that story is that all ten were virgins.
35:00
So it's not an issue of righteousness or
35:02
unrighteousness. It was an issue of wisdom and
35:05
foolishness. Are we together?
35:07
And the principal factor that made the difference was the
35:10
delay of the arrival of the bridegroom.
35:13
If the bridegroom arrived early, all of them will be perceived as
35:16
wise. It was delayed that showed who
35:18
was wise or who was foolish. Are we together?
35:22
And the wisdom of the five was that they carried extra oil,
35:28
whereas the other five carried only healthy lanterns with just
35:33
enough for that time. The morale of that story is that
35:38
you can be righteous like the 10 virgins, and you will still
35:42
suffer. The door will close and you'll
35:44
be outside. It was not righteousness and
35:46
unrighteousness. 10 virgins, but five were called wise, five were
35:52
called foolish. Everybody say wisdom.
35:55
Wisdom can help you to have accelerated accomplishments
35:59
within a short time. Accelerated accomplishments, for
36:02
instance, it is wisdom that teaches you as a leader to be
36:07
able to multiply your results by setting up systems and
36:11
structures. Are we together?
36:12
Moses was wearing himself as a good leader because he did not
36:17
know how to multiply his capacity and his results.
36:20
And then a man called Jethro, his father-in-law, called him
36:24
and said, listen, you are a good leader, but from an
36:27
administrative standpoint you will worry yourself and you
36:29
would die the death of a fool. He said, set up teams are we
36:33
together in thousands and hundreds, train and appoint
36:37
people so that they carry out all these things and then you
36:40
handle the weightier matters. Wisdom brings efficiency to men,
36:45
to organizations. Wisdom.
36:49
So many people can do much more, but they are not able to do it.
36:53
They are not able to take advantage of the supplies of
36:57
wisdom #2 favor Exodus 1236, favor.
37:03
This one is powerful favor. When God wants to grant a man's
37:08
speed, He gives you an opportunity to encounter favor.
37:13
Can we shout this together? Exodus chapter 12 and verse 36
37:18
Want to go? Uh huh.
37:31
You only get such things as you require. 2 favor such things as
37:37
you require. The Lord gave the people favor
37:50
such things as they require as that.
37:52
Chapter 2, please Esther. Chapter 2.
37:55
I like this one. Verse 8 and 9.
37:57
This is Esther being prepared by Hagai, the keeper of the King's
38:01
virgins, to go and meet the king.
38:04
Here's what the Bible says. 8:00 and 9:00 So it came to pass when
38:08
the King's commandment and his decree was heard, and when many
38:11
maidens were gathered together on to Shushan the palace, to the
38:14
custody of Hagai, that Esther was brought also.
38:18
So she was not the only one. Esther was part of the many
38:22
young ladies. To the custody of a guy, the
38:25
keeper of the women read verse 9.
38:28
Hallelujah. And the maiden pleased him, and
38:31
she obtained kindness of him. What was the effect?
38:35
And he speedily gave her stop. What did he do?
38:40
It's not enough to give. You must be given on time.
38:45
You can be given too late. The Bible says because the hand
38:49
of God was upon her, the man speedily gave her, speedily gave
38:55
her, speedily gave her. Is that a prophecy for someone
38:59
speedily gave her in the name of Jesus Christ.
39:04
There are people who apply for jobs and it is within the power
39:08
of the corporation to give them jobs.
39:10
But they keep everything there until the day you are owing.
39:14
You are owing what 10 years salary cannot pay you then they
39:17
now. Give you the job you have been
39:20
given, but it came late. Are we together now?
39:24
One of the things I learned about money is that if it does
39:27
not come on time, its purpose will not serve.
39:31
Money serves its purpose when it comes at the right time.
39:36
Are we together? If you were supposed to fly
39:39
someone, say for treatment and you need say 10 million naira,
39:43
and the money arrives 2 days to the person's death, It came, it
39:49
arrived, but not on time. Satisfy me.
39:53
Early with your message is that in your Bible someone say
39:58
Father, Oh come on, come on, come on, shout it.
40:01
Say, Father, in the name of Jesus.
40:05
I obtain grace for speed through favor.
40:09
Pray in one minute favor, favor He gave us speedily, speedily,
40:17
speedily, speedily, speedily. Haba laka paraka TA savranda
40:24
kaparakas speedily. In the name of Jesus, He gave us
40:28
speedily. Please be seated.
40:35
Hallelujah. So favor is connected to speed
40:41
that when the favor and the kindness of God comes upon a
40:44
person, man will respond to you speedily.
40:47
Systems will respond to you speedily #3 the third key that
40:52
controls speed. Are we learning you can pray?
40:55
Speed provoking prayers. Speed provoking prayers.
41:04
Speed provoking prayers in First Kings chapter 18 when you read
41:12
from verse 42 to 46, just write down for reference First Kings
41:17
1842 to 46. My Bible, your Bible says that
41:23
Elijah began to pray, praying for rain.
41:27
He bowed himself and prayed and he prayed again and he prayed
41:32
again and he prayed again. Go to 46 please.
41:35
By the time we get to 46, the Bible says, and the hand of the
41:40
Lord came upon Elijah and he gird up his loins and ran.
41:46
He ran before Ahab and overtook the Chariots of Ahab.
41:51
Even down to Jezreel. The hand of God can come upon a
41:57
man. Are we together?
41:59
You can pray favour provoking prayers, but you can pray speed
42:04
provoking prayers. Father, give me speed, give me
42:08
speed, bring speed to my life, bring speed to my business.
42:12
Jesus was praying whilst he asked other people to go to the
42:16
other side. They used the boat and they
42:19
left. There were six hours ahead of
42:22
Jesus. So based on that, that scenario,
42:25
you would say Jesus had been delayed for six hours.
42:28
There were six hours but as soon as Jesus was done praying, he
42:33
did not need a boat again. He got up and started working
42:35
on. Water in a short time he had
42:37
caught up with them. They saw him and thought he was
42:40
a ghost. And that was when they say if it
42:42
beat, if it beat thou beat me, come.
42:45
That means can I come to this experience too?
42:47
I was using a boat and yes you walked on foot and he said
42:51
everyone can come, you can come, you can come out.
42:54
A boat is a good means of transportation but not the only
42:58
means of transportation. There is another technology that
43:01
can empower man that buy food. You will even walk on water if
43:08
it be down. The miracle in that story was
43:10
not working on water. The miracle on that story was
43:13
showing that boat is not the only way to transport yourself
43:17
to the other. Side.
43:20
There are those who left you while you were praying and
43:22
serving in church with no job. They said you will.
43:25
If you just serve in church like this, your life will be
43:27
miserable and you are feeling bad.
43:29
It's been 10 years, no job. Let me tell you, there is a hand
43:32
that can come upon man. And when that hand rests upon
43:36
you, in one year you can get a job that is equal to someone's
43:40
lifetime pay, or establish a business that will bring you
43:44
someone's breakthrough for life in one year, I believe.
43:47
This speed provoking prayer, speed provoking prayer, speed
44:00
provoking prayer. God is able to give men speed
44:04
when you take the time to pray. Hallelujah.
44:08
Let me tell you a story. I remember back then in Zarya,
44:13
when we started, I saw visions of the many things that God is
44:17
doing, some of them already manifested now.
44:20
And I was wondering how would God make these things come to
44:23
pass? Because I didn't understand how
44:25
these things were going to happen, how these things were
44:28
going to come to pass. And I kept submitting myself in
44:35
prayer because strategies come when we pray.
44:37
Listen carefully. And I remember at that time, you
44:41
know, the social media space was not the way it is now.
44:45
And the Lord gave me an instruction.
44:48
That time we did not even have videos.
44:51
And he gave one instruction. He said take your teachings and
44:56
put them on social media and my Angel will take it to the
45:01
nations and that is how I will announce you to the nations
45:05
right from where you are. I didn't have access to the
45:08
people and the systems and the structures that could provide a
45:11
leverage for rising. There was no human way of
45:15
gaining visibility with with the, the the the current context
45:21
as it was at that time and with that simple instruction that
45:26
came from the place of prayer. The rest is history.
45:29
I can only say glory to God. Let me tell you the truth, every
45:34
time invested in strategic prayer is a time redemption
45:38
adventure. Never see the time you invest in
45:42
prayer as a waste. No, prayer does not do
45:47
everything, but where prayer is not the key, it becomes the hand
45:51
that holds the key. The Bible says be anxious for
45:55
nothing, but in everything, in everything by prayer and
45:59
supplication with Thanksgiving, let your requests be made known
46:02
unto God. When you engage wisdom, prayer
46:05
helps you to engage wisdom efficiently.
46:08
Are we together? When you communicate value,
46:11
prayer helps you to communicate value efficiently.
46:14
You can pray speed provoking prayers.
46:17
You can go to God and say, Father, I've made mistakes with
46:22
my life. I didn't make the right choices.
46:24
I was not serious about God. When people were serious with
46:27
the things of God, I was there loitering around.
46:30
And right now I'm already disadvantaged as far as time and
46:35
destiny is concerned. But give me speed.
46:38
Bring speed to my life. If Jabez could pray, Oh God
46:43
bless me. Enlarge my territory.
46:46
He was. The Bible says that the mother
46:48
caused him because of her pain. She called him Jabez.
46:52
But a day came, he took that responsibility and he says, oh,
46:56
that thou wouldest bless me. That means you can pray and say,
47:00
God give me speed. There are many of us who came
47:04
from families where you have to solve the problems that were
47:07
created before your arrival before you even start facing
47:10
your own destiny as it is now. You've not started living your
47:13
destiny yet. You are paying the price and
47:16
correcting something that happened yesteryears.
47:19
Enemies that were gathered before your arrival.
47:22
You are still, you are still on a reconciliatory process with
47:26
enemies that that were brought by parents and people first
47:31
before you start solving the problem of your life.
47:33
And you are in your 40s now or 50s now.
47:36
When will you finish that and then turn back and say I have my
47:39
destiny. You need speed, say speed,
47:43
speed. A man who started fighting with
47:46
your father before your father passed on.
47:48
The man has vowed that for as long as he's alive, you will not
47:50
find peace, and he's in a position as a gatekeeper now.
47:54
A major part of your life is being spent trying to broker
47:57
reconciliation. Finally, the man has gone to be
48:02
with the Lord, but the price for waiting until he passed was 45
48:06
years of your life. When are you going to start that
48:09
journey again? Because of that, no cooperation
48:12
could give you anything. Your name had been stained by
48:15
that man. The man is dead, but the stain
48:17
on your name is still there. No cooperation will give you
48:20
contracts. When are you going to tell them
48:22
I'm innocent? It was a battle between my
48:24
father, not me. There are many inherited battles
48:30
that people are carrying the inherited names that became
48:33
padlocks and IT. Locked many doors.
48:36
You spent your life opening the padlock, not opening the door.
48:40
Now you've opened the padlock to open the door.
48:43
You are even weak to open the door.
48:45
You need help. Someone say help me God, one
48:47
more time. Help me God.
48:50
And so when Isaac asked Jacob. As he saw now, he said how come
48:56
you are brought this speedily? He said it is because the Lord
49:00
has brought it to me, the Lord has brought it to me, the Lord
49:05
has brought it to me, the Lord has brought it to me.
49:10
Hallelujah. The final key that controls
49:19
speed is the power of prophetic declarations.
49:24
The prophetic is a mysterious spiritual operation that is able
49:31
to bring speed. Second king 7.
49:35
We'll read verse one and then we'll go to verse 18 for time
49:38
because this is what is about to happen to someone.
49:41
Second king 7. Verse one second Kings 7 thank
49:47
you verse one and then verse 18. Then Elisha said, Hear ye the
49:53
word of the Lord, Toss, saith the Lord.
49:56
Tomorrow about this. Tomorrow about this.
50:01
It is still a discussion of time.
50:04
Tomorrow about this time. Shall a measure of flour be sold
50:08
for a shekel, and two measures of Bali for a shekel at the
50:12
gates of Samaria? Go to verse 18.
50:16
Verse 18 says and it came to pass.
50:20
I like that statement and it came as the man of God had
50:27
spoken to the king saying this and that and that will happen.
50:31
The man said by this time tomorrow and it came to.
50:34
Pass. I don't want to bore you with
50:36
how it came to pass, but it's an interesting story to read
50:40
because the miracle happened to 4 lepers.
50:44
People who were incapacitated, the Spirit of God began to move
50:48
around them. The idea was always there, but
50:51
the grace to receive it was not there.
50:53
One day they said look, why sit we here till we die?
50:57
He said let's just get up and give ourselves to our enemies.
51:00
Perhaps we have no use to ourselves.
51:03
When prophecy comes, anything can be used as a tool where it
51:08
is a stick to bring the ass head out, whether it is a donkey to
51:12
speak to you. Once a prophetic world comes,
51:15
everything you have will be enough to bring that prophecy to
51:19
pass. Once prophecy comes, even if
51:23
it's a little cruise of oil you have in your house, the
51:26
prophetic can do something to it.
51:28
It can multiply. What do you have in your house?
51:32
Nothing, except a little cruise of oil, he said.
51:35
That's it. With the power of prophecy.
51:38
I hope you know that the miracle the woman received was not just
51:42
the miracle of multiplication. The first miracle was where to
51:46
go and get the vessels from and then those who buy it after
51:50
filling the. Oil.
51:52
All of them were miracles. It was one thing to get vessels,
51:56
so there were people who could borrow her.
51:58
Why didn't they borrow her money to pay the debt?
52:01
It was prophecy that positioned those people, don't you think?
52:04
He just said go and borrow vessels.
52:06
Her problem was that she was alone.
52:09
There was no man to help her, so her children were going as but
52:13
when the prophet came, he said men have been positioned to help
52:16
you meet them the same way Jesus said go to a street that the
52:20
rivers divide. You will see go to a street that
52:24
the roads divide. You will see a cult that no man,
52:28
not even the owner. That means there are people
52:31
holding things that is not for them.
52:33
They are caretakers. Not even the owner had ridden
52:37
on. Lose that cult and bring to me.
52:39
And if they ask you say the master had need of it.
52:43
There are people holding opportunities.
52:45
It came by revelation, but it's not given to them to execute it.
52:51
They've kept it on the table. Waiting for the one who prophecy
52:54
will connect to them. Listen, we're going to pray in
52:57
the next one or two minutes. My time is up.
53:00
But two things will happen. 1 is that in the place of prayer,
53:04
you're going to agree with God that a grace will rest upon your
53:08
life that will bring speed to your life, speed to your
53:12
destiny. Genesis 27 and verse 20.
53:15
Please keep that Scripture projected while we pray.
53:20
When I looked at my life and I saw all the disadvantages that
53:24
were there by default area of my life, I made-up my mind that I
53:30
was going to learn about favour and learn about speed because if
53:35
these forces were not at work in my life, based on my assessment,
53:38
I didn't have a chance for an excelling life.
53:41
Most of us here have already been dragged down by life for
53:45
various reasons. I want you to know that there is
53:48
hope this morning and grace is about to rest upon you.
53:53
And Isaac said to his son, How is it that thou hast found it so
53:59
quickly? How did you find the answers
54:02
quickly? How did you scale the business
54:05
so quickly? This will be your answer from
54:08
today because the Lord thy God brought it to me.
54:14
There are things you look for by yourself, but there are things
54:18
that God brings quickly. I don't have time to show you
54:23
certain things, but when God wants to help you, maybe let me
54:26
take a minute and talk about your finances.
54:29
There are two ways to prosper. One is by your value.
54:33
When you exchange your value, you refine it.
54:36
You exchange it and serve it with excellence.
54:39
But when God wants to give you acceleration, He connects you
54:43
with established people. The money you are looking for is
54:46
currently with established people.
54:49
Money is a 0 sum game. It's not lying anywhere.
54:52
It is in somebody's account right now.
54:54
From a financial standpoint, when God wants to help you, He
54:58
creates proximity between you and help us.
55:02
The helpers are established people.
55:04
It is the person who has that can give, the person who does
55:08
not have are we together? Relationships are powerful, who
55:12
likes you matters. Everybody, blesses according to
55:16
his riches, everybody. So when God wants to help you in
55:24
addition to your value and everything you have, He will
55:27
connect you to strategic relationships.
55:30
One strategic relationship like Lot and Abraham.
55:35
One strategic relationship like Abraham and Abimelech. 1
55:39
Strategic relationship like Esther and Hazaros. 1.
55:43
Strategic relationship like Ruth and Boaz can redefine your
55:48
possibilities. Are we together?
55:54
Let's rise. I don't know what you may have
56:02
gone through. I don't know what you're going
56:05
through right now, perhaps in light of the prevalent economic
56:08
situation, perhaps in your organization, perhaps in your
56:12
spiritual life. But I want you to know I started
56:15
by telling you that there are tripartite 3 forces you need as
56:19
far as you're excelling in life is concerned.
56:21
Wisdom and faith and power are we together and that God is able
56:30
to enhance a man's destiny by granting him access to speed.
56:35
You're going to pray one prayer. 1 faith filled heartfelt prayer.
56:40
Lord, bring speed to my life. Someone pray.
56:44
Bring speed to my life. Bring speed to my life.
56:49
Let it be a very sincere prayer. Bring speed to my life, speed to
56:55
my destiny. That when men say how is it that
56:58
thou has found favor in ministry?
57:01
How is it that Lagos has opened up to you so quickly?
57:05
You can say like Jacob. It is because the Lord has
57:10
brought it to me. It is because the Lord has shown
57:15
me mercy. It is because the Lord has given
57:19
me the treasures of darkness and the secret riches in secret, the
57:23
riches in secret places. It is because the Lord has
57:27
taught my fingers to fight, my hands to war.
57:35
Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Let me stand on the existing
57:40
grace now and speak over your life.
57:48
Your season has come. My help has come.
58:28
Woah. In the name of Jesus, the Son of
58:38
the living God, I stretch my hands over everyone under the
58:42
sound of my voice, and I decree and declare by the power that
58:46
raised Christ from the dead right now.
58:49
The grace for speed, wherever you are, I decree and declare.
58:53
May that grace rest on you now. May that grace rest on you now.
58:59
Take that grace now in the name of Jesus.
59:04
Please help that gentleman. Help those under the anointing
59:07
so they don't injure themselves. I decree and declare where you
59:10
have been crawling. I give you wings in the Spirit.
59:14
You will run like Elijah in the name of Jesus Christ.
59:19
In the name of Jesus, may my God put 10 years in one year, 10
59:25
years in one year, one year in one month, 10 years in one year,
59:33
ten years in one month in the name of Jesus where you have
59:44
been for 2nd so that no man will walk through you.
59:48
I call you an eternal Excellency, a joy of many
59:52
generations. Hear me in the name that is
59:56
above all names, I pray for you. Anybody who has what it takes to
1:00:01
lift you, listen, listen. The man at Bethesda John 5 when
1:00:09
Jesus came and said why are you still in this situation?
1:00:12
His answer is found in verse 7. He said.
1:00:15
I have no man. When the water is teared to help
1:00:19
me, I have no man. I pray for you.
1:00:22
The north, the east, the South, and the West.
1:00:24
Wherever the helpers of your destiny are, I declare by
1:00:28
prophecy. May they gravitate towards you,
1:00:32
may they gravitate towards you. May they gravitate towards you,
1:00:37
may they gravitate towards you. In the name of Jesus.
1:00:42
Daniel Chapter. 2 when you read from verse 28.
1:00:46
He says then the secret was revealed unto Daniel.
1:00:51
The secrets of the Lord, the Bible says, is with them that
1:00:53
fear Him, and He will show them his covenants.
1:00:56
We triumph in life on the strength of the secrets we have
1:00:59
found the mysteries of the Kingdom.
1:01:01
I pray for someone the miracle of open eyes.
1:01:06
The miracle of open eyes. May you see what others have not
1:01:10
seen. Let it give you an edge in life.
1:01:13
Let it give you an edge in business.
1:01:15
Let it give you an edge in your career in the name of Jesus
1:01:19
Christ. Listen, some of you are great
1:01:27
warriors, but it takes beyond the bow and despair to bring
1:01:32
Goliath. Just because you have tools that
1:01:36
you are allowed to use any of them, you must be directed on
1:01:39
what tool brings what victory. You may have your Armory, but if
1:01:44
you stand before Goliath with your sword, you may not defeat
1:01:47
Goliath. If you stand before Jericho with
1:01:50
your weapons, you may not scale through.
1:01:54
Are we together now? God must reveal to you what
1:01:57
strategy exact dominion over what season.
1:02:01
The challenge with many people is because the Red Sea parted.
1:02:05
You always want the Red Sea to part.
1:02:08
There are times the river will not part.
1:02:10
You will walk on water. There are times God will give
1:02:13
you a boat. The strategy for every season I
1:02:16
impart that grace upon you. The strategy for every season I
1:02:22
impart that grace upon you. The strategy pre COVID may not
1:02:28
be the same strategy post COVID just because you succeeded
1:02:32
before COVID. The grace to reinvent yourself.
1:02:35
The grace to evolve. The grace to innovate to obtain
1:02:39
higher and greater strategies applicable for the time.
1:02:43
I release that grace upon you in the name of Jesus Christ.
1:02:49
Therefore, where you have been stagnated like Moses told the
1:02:53
nation of Israel, go forward, go forward, go forward, make
1:02:59
progress, accelerate, go forward.
1:03:02
I prophecy. Go forward elevation Church, the
1:03:06
global expressions. Go forward in America, go
1:03:10
forward in Canada, go forward in Europe.
1:03:13
Go forward in Lagos, go forward in Abuja.
1:03:16
By your godly means, make progress.
1:03:19
In the name of Jesus. Run through troops, leap over
1:03:23
walls. In the name of Jesus, let there
1:03:26
be an avalanche of testimonies. Let young people in this church
1:03:31
do mighty things before the end of 2024.
1:03:34
In the name of Jesus. Accelerated testimonies.
1:03:39
Excelling in ministry, excelling in business, excelling in
1:03:43
family, excelling in careers. I open the Tulip gates of
1:03:48
nations for you. Access the nations needed for
1:03:51
your rising. Access the nations needed for
1:03:54
your shining access. Systems and structures.
1:03:57
We put them under pressure for your sake.
1:04:00
Financial systems, economic systems, political systems.
1:04:05
We put them under pressure for your sake.
1:04:09
By all means, go forward. Go forward in righteousness, go
1:04:14
forward in grace in the name of Jesus Christ.
1:04:25
And as you make progress, I pray for your spiritual life.
1:04:29
You will not prosper at the expense of your prayer life.
1:04:34
You will not prosper at the extent at the expense of your
1:04:37
integrity. You will not prosper at the
1:04:40
extent the expense of your loving Jesus, but while you
1:04:45
rise, while you accelerate, while you make progress, while
1:04:49
you command speed, may your fire never die.
1:04:52
May your prayer altar never go down.
1:04:55
May your consecration never be compromised.
1:04:58
In the name of Jesus. We are going to shout 7
1:05:01
believing amens and I'm done. Are you ready now 123-4567?
