- 4:00Speaker 5: Allelujah. Praise the name of the Lord.
- 4:04Speaker 2: Every man of God, every teaching priest is a spiritual chef.
- 4:10Speaker 5: Allelujah.
- 4:12Speaker 2: The Bible says that we serve and we feed God's
- 4:15Speaker 2: people according to Jeremiah three point fifteen, I will give
- 4:18Speaker 2: you past us shepherds according to my heart, and the
- 4:22Speaker 2: Bible says that they will feed you with knowledge and
- 4:26Speaker 2: with understanding. So that is a mandate to feed you, allelujah.
- 4:32Speaker 2: And every good cook, every chef has the responsibility of
- 4:39Speaker 2: combining the right ingredients that make for a balanced meal. Allelujah.
- 4:46Speaker 2: Praise the name of the Lord. That when you are
- 4:49Speaker 2: under a good cook, you know that you are enjoying
- 4:52Speaker 2: the ministry of a good.
- 4:53Speaker 5: Cook by your health.
- 4:55Speaker 2: Your health is the clearest index that you are eating well.
- 4:59Speaker 5: Allelujah. You can eat onto death.
- 5:02Speaker 2: In fact, the Bible tells us that death can be
- 5:05Speaker 2: part of the ingredients that.
- 5:06Speaker 5: Can be used to cook.
- 5:07Speaker 2: The prophets looked at this food and said, there is
- 5:09Speaker 2: death in the pot. In other words, by whatever means.
- 5:13Speaker 2: As they were adding these ingredients. Maybe there was a
- 5:16Speaker 2: mistaken combination and death was added in the port and
- 5:19Speaker 2: the prophet had to do something about it. It means
- 5:23Speaker 2: that men can consume knowledge onto their destruction, or they
- 5:27Speaker 2: can consume knowledge onto their elevation and their excelling. Allelujah.
- 5:34Speaker 2: And I can guarantee you that tonight you were in
- 5:37Speaker 2: for a three court mail in the name of Jesus Christ.
- 5:44Speaker 2: So lend me your attention. It will be hearing truths
- 5:48Speaker 2: that will bless you. Every week. I make it as
- 5:52Speaker 2: a commitment and a covenant under God to make sure
- 5:55Speaker 2: that I serve His people with truths that apply to
- 5:59Speaker 2: our lives the times that we live in and empower
- 6:02Speaker 2: us to live victorious lives in experience, and tonight will
- 6:07Speaker 2: not be different. In Jesus' name, Redefining the Great Commission,
- 6:14Speaker 2: Redefining the Great Commission. This is a very powerful and
- 6:20Speaker 2: thought provoking teaching. Tonight. We've been on a series of
- 6:23Speaker 2: teachings that are aimed at building us and bringing us
- 6:28Speaker 2: to a point of maturity and stature and helping our
- 6:31Speaker 2: overall excellence in life. The goal of this teaching is
- 6:36Speaker 2: to help provide for the Body of Christ a better
- 6:39Speaker 2: and a clearer understanding of the mandate that Jesus left
- 6:44Speaker 2: with the church. It is important and imperative that we
- 6:50Speaker 2: understand the mandate that Jesus gave the church, that all
- 6:54Speaker 2: kinds of confusion as to what the great commission exactly is,
- 6:59Speaker 2: and because our lives should be about this, it is
- 7:02Speaker 2: important that we understand the message that Jesus left with
- 7:05Speaker 2: the church.
- 7:06Speaker 5: Allelujah.
- 7:08Speaker 2: To start tonight, let's go to Matthew chapter nine. Matthew
- 7:11Speaker 2: chapter nine, from verse thirty six, Thank you Jesus. Matthew
- 7:17Speaker 2: nine thirty six. The Bible says Jesus Now, but when
- 7:21Speaker 2: he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them,
- 7:26Speaker 2: because they fainted and were scattered abroad as sheep having
- 7:31Speaker 2: no shepherd twenty seven thirty seven. Now, then he said
- 7:36Speaker 2: onto his disciples, the harvest is truly plenteous, but the
- 7:42Speaker 2: laborers are few. Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest,
- 7:49Speaker 2: that he will send forth laborers into his harvest. May
- 7:55Speaker 2: the Lord bless the reading of his word in Jesus' name.
- 8:00Speaker 2: So the main issue here that Jesus identified with the
- 8:03Speaker 2: harvest is not the inability to gather the harvest together.
- 8:09Speaker 2: The major issue that Jesus pointed out from this scripture
- 8:13Speaker 2: is the scarcity of laborers.
- 8:16Speaker 5: Allelujah.
- 8:17Speaker 2: Every soul in the mind of Jesus is already a harvest,
- 8:21Speaker 2: not a seed growing, already a harvest. In the mind
- 8:24Speaker 2: of God, every lost soul is a harvest right already.
- 8:29Speaker 2: The problem, according to Jesus, is not the inability to
- 8:33Speaker 2: reach the souls or the havevest as we know, but
- 8:37Speaker 2: the scarcity of laborers. This is very important. That means
- 8:42Speaker 2: that there are many people in the field, but there
- 8:45Speaker 2: are only very few people that God identifies as laborers.
- 8:51Speaker 5: Allelujah.
- 8:52Speaker 2: He's not talking about the scarcity of men. In fact,
- 8:55Speaker 2: he's not talking about the scarcity of men around the
- 8:58Speaker 2: harvest field. Among the many people roaming around the harvest field,
- 9:03Speaker 2: there are few people who can in truth be called laborers.
- 9:07Speaker 2: And that the more we have laborers, indeed, the more
- 9:11Speaker 2: the harvest.
- 9:12Speaker 5: Would be a reality.
- 9:14Speaker 2: So we can have pastors, we can have preachers, apostles,
- 9:18Speaker 2: great men and women of God, missionaries, and all kinds
- 9:22Speaker 2: of people, but there are a few people that the
- 9:25Speaker 2: Bible calls laborers. And what empowers a laborer is the
- 9:31Speaker 2: understanding of his assignment, not just his being around the
- 9:35Speaker 2: harvest field. You can be around a harvest field, but
- 9:38Speaker 2: being proximity to the harvest does not make you a laborer.
- 9:44Speaker 5: Allelujah.
- 9:45Speaker 2: Proximity to the harvest does not make you a laborer.
- 9:49Speaker 2: It is the understanding of your mission in the harvest
- 9:52Speaker 2: field that makes you a laborer. Very quickly, let's look
- 9:56Speaker 2: into this very serious subject. Is the Great Commission? What
- 10:02Speaker 2: exactly did Jesus leave? You will be surprised to find
- 10:05Speaker 2: out that there are preachers, men and women of God.
- 10:09Speaker 2: There are missionaries who will not be able to scripturally
- 10:13Speaker 2: articulate for you what the Bible calls the Great Commission,
- 10:17Speaker 2: or what we call the Bible doesn't call it that way.
- 10:20Speaker 5: It is a commission, is a mandate.
- 10:22Speaker 2: But what we have come to know as the Great Commission,
- 10:27Speaker 2: the Great Commission, generally speaking, rests upon three scriptures. There
- 10:31Speaker 2: are three scriptures, and all those scriptures came as a
- 10:35Speaker 2: result of conversations that Jesus himself had. The Great Commission
- 10:40Speaker 2: is a mandate that came directly from Jesus. So we
- 10:44Speaker 2: look at three scriptures. This already is a correction because
- 10:48Speaker 2: for many people, when they examine the subject of the
- 10:51Speaker 2: Great Commission. They just speak any of these three scriptures.
- 10:55Speaker 2: The scriptures have to be put together to understand the
- 10:58Speaker 2: full scope of Great Commission. Are we together?
- 11:01Speaker 5: Number one Mac sixteen please Mac.
- 11:05Speaker 2: Sixteen and verse fifteen were reading from fifteen to twenty Marc.
- 11:10Speaker 5: Sixteen fifteen to twenty, and he.
- 11:13Speaker 2: Said, unto them, the heaving Jesus, go ye into all
- 11:17Speaker 2: the world. Take notes now and preach the Gospel to
- 11:21Speaker 2: every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved.
- 11:26Speaker 2: But he that believeth not shall be domb seventeen, he says,
- 11:30Speaker 2: and this sign shall follow them that believe in My name.
- 11:33Speaker 2: They shall cast out devils, They shall speak with new tongues.
- 11:37Speaker 2: They shall take up serpents, and if they drink any
- 11:40Speaker 2: deadly thing, it shall not hurt them. They shall lay
- 11:44Speaker 2: hands on the sick, and they shall recover. So then,
- 11:48Speaker 2: after the Lord had spoken onto them, he was received
- 11:52Speaker 2: up into heaven and sat on the right hand of
- 11:55Speaker 2: God the last verse. And they went forth and preached
- 11:59Speaker 2: everywhere in obedience, the Lord walking with them and confirming
- 12:05Speaker 2: the word.
- 12:06Speaker 5: With signs following amen.
- 12:09Speaker 2: Scripture number two Matthew Chapter twenty eight. Please from verse
- 12:13Speaker 2: eighteen to twenty. If you must understand the Great Commission,
- 12:19Speaker 2: then we must examine the three foundational scriptures that capture
- 12:23Speaker 2: the mandates the instruction that Jesus gave to his disciples
- 12:29Speaker 2: that apply to all believers today. And Jesus came and
- 12:33Speaker 2: spoken to them saying all power. The word power. There's
- 12:37Speaker 2: the word exxusia. It should be authority. All authority is
- 12:42Speaker 2: given onto me in heaven and in earth. Nineteen. Go ye, therefore,
- 12:48Speaker 2: now we see another account. Go ye therefore, and teach
- 12:54Speaker 2: all nations. Mark's accounts has preached the Gospel to every creature.
- 13:00Speaker 2: Matthew is now telling us teach all nations, baptizing them
- 13:05Speaker 2: in the name of the Father and of the Son
- 13:07Speaker 2: and of the Holy Ghost twenty teaching them to observe
- 13:12Speaker 2: all things whatsoever I have commanded you.
- 13:15Speaker 5: And whilst you do this, lo I am with you
- 13:18Speaker 5: all way, even to the end of the world. Amen,
- 13:23Speaker 5: are you.
- 13:23Speaker 2: Ready for the third scripture adds Chapter one. Please from
- 13:26Speaker 2: verse six reading down to eleven. These are the three
- 13:30Speaker 2: foundational scriptures upon which the mandate of the Great Commission rests.
- 13:36Speaker 2: When they therefore will come together the acts of him, saying, Lord,
- 13:40Speaker 2: wilt now at this time restore again the kingdom of Israel.
- 13:45Speaker 2: And he said unto them, it is not for you
- 13:47Speaker 2: to know the times or the seasons which.
- 13:49Speaker 5: The Father has put in his own power.
- 13:52Speaker 2: Eight.
- 13:52Speaker 5: But ye shall receive power after that.
- 13:55Speaker 2: The Holy Ghost has come on you upon you, and
- 13:58Speaker 2: ye shall be witnesses onto me, both in Jerusalem, in
- 14:03Speaker 2: all Judea, in Samaria, and onto the autumost part of
- 14:07Speaker 2: the earth verse nine. And when he had spoken these things,
- 14:11Speaker 2: while they beheld him, he was taken up.
- 14:15Speaker 5: And a cloud received him out of their sight the stead.
- 14:19Speaker 2: And while they looked, stepfastly towards heaven. As he went up,
- 14:23Speaker 2: behold two men stood by them in white apparel, which
- 14:27Speaker 2: also said, ye men of Galilee, why standing gazing up
- 14:31Speaker 2: into heaven. The same Jesus which is taken off from
- 14:35Speaker 2: you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as
- 14:39Speaker 2: you have seen him go into heaven.
- 14:42Speaker 5: Praise the name of the Lord.
- 14:44Speaker 2: So three scriptures max account, Matthew's account, and now the
- 14:48Speaker 2: account that the Book of Art gives us. All of
- 14:52Speaker 2: these accounts are pieces together that, when brought with understanding,
- 14:58Speaker 2: help us understand the Greek common Please write what is
- 15:01Speaker 2: the Great Commission? The Great Commission is a mandate given
- 15:09Speaker 2: by Jesus. The Great Commission is a mandate given by
- 15:15Speaker 2: Jesus to his disciples, and now it extends to all believers.
- 15:22Speaker 2: A mandate given by Jesus to his disciples, and now
- 15:26Speaker 2: to all believers to reach the entire globe with the
- 15:31Speaker 2: Gospel of Salvation. I'll take it again. The Great Commission
- 15:36Speaker 2: is a mandate given by Jesus to the disciples. Then
- 15:40Speaker 2: and now it extends to all believers to reach the
- 15:44Speaker 2: entire globe with the Gospel of Salvation, and then to
- 15:50Speaker 2: bring nations to the knowledge of the truth, true discipleship.
- 15:56Speaker 2: Say long definition, but you must write all of it.
- 15:59Speaker 2: Number one, to reach the entire globe with the Gospel
- 16:04Speaker 2: of Salvation. You add a comma there to bring nations
- 16:09Speaker 2: to the knowledge of the truth, true discipleship. And then
- 16:15Speaker 2: finally to consequently I wrote here bring territorial and societal transformation.
- 16:25Speaker 4: A mandate given.
- 16:26Speaker 2: By Jesus to the disciples, and now all believers. To
- 16:31Speaker 2: number one, reach the entire globe with the Gospel of Salvation,
- 16:37Speaker 2: to bring nations to the knowledge of the truth, true discipleship,
- 16:43Speaker 2: and then to consequently bring territorial and societal transformation.
- 16:50Speaker 5: Hallelujah, you have that down.
- 16:53Speaker 2: So you see that if you want to really understand
- 16:57Speaker 2: the Great Commission, the mandates that Jesus left with the church,
- 17:01Speaker 2: you will if you examine Mark's account alone, it gives
- 17:05Speaker 2: you one dimension and you will not.
- 17:08Speaker 5: Fully accomplish the Great Commission.
- 17:10Speaker 2: If you look at Matthew's account alone, it brings a
- 17:14Speaker 2: piece of the truth. You see, there is only one
- 17:17Speaker 2: thing greater than the truth, the whole truth. Are we
- 17:22Speaker 2: together now? Yes, If you have a piece of the
- 17:25Speaker 2: truth and you do not have the whole truth, your
- 17:28Speaker 2: adventure will be lopsided. It will not be holistic. And
- 17:32Speaker 2: now in Act chapter one we see the last piece.
- 17:36Speaker 2: He says you are witnesses, and that your weakness should
- 17:40Speaker 2: reach Judea Samaria, Judea Jerusalem, and to the autumost part
- 17:46Speaker 2: of the earth. And all these were statements that Jesus
- 17:49Speaker 2: himself made. So we're not just saying these are statements
- 17:52Speaker 2: that one prophet made somewhere. Jesus himself made the statement
- 17:56Speaker 2: in Mark, the statement in Matthew, the.
- 17:59Speaker 5: Statement in Book of Acts.
- 18:02Speaker 2: Immediately we see that there are three components to the
- 18:06Speaker 2: mandates that.
- 18:07Speaker 5: Jesus left with the church. This will be my discussion tonight.
- 18:10Speaker 2: There are three components to what we call the Great Commission.
- 18:15Speaker 2: Three components to the mandates that Jesus left with the church.
- 18:19Speaker 2: Let's discuss them now. Number one, the first component in
- 18:23Speaker 2: the Great Commission, as we see, is world evangelization. Please
- 18:27Speaker 2: write Matt marc. Sixteen fifteen again, please give it to us.
- 18:32Speaker 2: World evangelization is the first component. As far as the mandates,
- 18:37Speaker 2: the Great Commission that Jesus left with the church is concerned,
- 18:41Speaker 2: and he said onto them, please look up, go ye
- 18:46Speaker 2: into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature.
- 18:52Speaker 2: Go ye into all the world, and preach the Gospel
- 18:56Speaker 2: to every creature. Allelujah. So we are given the mandate
- 19:01Speaker 2: to preach the Gospel. Preach the Gospel. What we should
- 19:06Speaker 2: do is very clear. Preach. To preach means to declare.
- 19:10Speaker 2: To preach means to proclaim. To preach means to announce.
- 19:14Speaker 2: To preach means to bring to your awareness. And the
- 19:19Speaker 2: content of our preaching is the Gospel. When it has
- 19:23Speaker 2: to do with the Gospel, the message is ever the
- 19:26Speaker 2: same Gospel. The Gospel of Salvation, hallelujah. And I have
- 19:33Speaker 2: taught us here, but for this teaching, let me repeat
- 19:36Speaker 2: it again in the clearest terms. As much as I
- 19:40Speaker 2: want us to be deep in our understanding of the Kingdom,
- 19:44Speaker 2: it is important that we must have a basic foundational
- 19:48Speaker 2: knowledge of the Gospel of Salvation. What we call the
- 19:52Speaker 2: Gospel or the Gospel of Salvation, is a revelation of
- 19:57Speaker 2: the Father's love, reveal build in and through the substitutionary
- 20:02Speaker 2: sacrifice of Jesus Christ, are we together, man and creation
- 20:06Speaker 2: being the object of that sacrifice, to the end that
- 20:11Speaker 2: any man who believes, according to scripture that we are
- 20:14Speaker 2: safe translated from the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom
- 20:18Speaker 2: of his dear son. This was the mission of Jesus when.
- 20:22Speaker 4: He came to die.
- 20:23Speaker 2: He came to die to reconcile us. The Bible says,
- 20:26Speaker 2: through the shedding of blood, are we together now. So
- 20:29Speaker 2: it's important for us who understand that the first component
- 20:33Speaker 2: that is captured in the Great Commission, the mandate that
- 20:36Speaker 2: Jesus left with the church is world evangelization. And when
- 20:43Speaker 2: Jesus was speaking about the harvest, he said, pray ye,
- 20:46Speaker 2: the Lord of the harvest the Lord of the havest.
- 20:50Speaker 2: The word lord dear means the owner, the supervisor, that is,
- 20:54Speaker 2: the Holy Spirit. He's the one who was left with
- 20:57Speaker 2: the church. Are we together that he may say, labor
- 21:01Speaker 2: us so that there can be an acceleration as far
- 21:05Speaker 2: as the harvest is concerned. Now I want to point
- 21:09Speaker 2: out something here give us mark sixteen again.
- 21:14Speaker 5: I want you to look very carefully at this scripture.
- 21:18Speaker 2: The instruction that Jesus gave as far as world evangelization
- 21:23Speaker 2: is concerned, is very clear. He says go ye. The
- 21:27Speaker 2: word go ye there means that he expects action. Go
- 21:31Speaker 2: Ye means be strategic. Go ye means be prepared to
- 21:35Speaker 2: take action. It is not a passive word. It does
- 21:38Speaker 2: not demand carelessness or laxity. Go Ye means there has
- 21:42Speaker 2: to be energy, passion that is invested into this instruction.
- 21:47Speaker 2: The location is all the world. That means there is
- 21:50Speaker 2: nowhere across the globe.
- 21:53Speaker 5: That should be spared as a mission field.
- 21:55Speaker 2: In the mind of Jesus, everywhere on Earth he finds
- 22:00Speaker 2: to be called the mission field, no matter how dangerous,
- 22:05Speaker 2: no matter how peaceful. In the mind of Jesus, everywhere
- 22:09Speaker 2: the entire line mass of Earth where men can be
- 22:13Speaker 2: found qually finds to be called a harvest or mission field.
- 22:17Speaker 2: So go ye all the world. And then the instruction
- 22:22Speaker 2: is to preach. I told you earlier to preach means
- 22:25Speaker 2: to declare, to proclaim, to bring to your awareness. Then
- 22:29Speaker 2: he told us the content, the content of our preaching
- 22:33Speaker 2: is the Gospel. But notice he never told us how.
- 22:39Speaker 2: He told us what to do. Go ye, what to
- 22:43Speaker 2: preach the gospel? Who to preach to every creature where
- 22:48Speaker 2: the entire world. But he left the matter of strategy. Why,
- 22:53Speaker 2: because we will need to adjust. He allowed the strategy
- 22:56Speaker 2: to be flexible, because we will need to readin event strategies.
- 23:01Speaker 2: The mission remains the same. Goal ye, the mission field
- 23:05Speaker 2: remains the same all yet the world. And the message
- 23:09Speaker 2: is to preach the Gospel to every creature. But how
- 23:13Speaker 2: we will do it?
- 23:14Speaker 5: He left it to the creativity of the times. Are
- 23:19Speaker 5: we together? Yes?
- 23:20Speaker 2: That the way the Gospel was preached in the seventies, eighties, nineties,
- 23:24Speaker 2: and even as far back as ten twenty years ago.
- 23:27Speaker 2: Because of the changing times and the reality in our
- 23:31Speaker 2: world today, there has to be intelligence invested toward evangelization.
- 23:37Speaker 2: God has provided us through technology, For instance, very effective
- 23:42Speaker 2: tools of getting the message. Nobody would have imagined that
- 23:46Speaker 2: through technology from one point you can be communicating the
- 23:50Speaker 2: Gospel to literally everybody across the globe.
- 23:55Speaker 5: Hallelujah. We must develop.
- 23:57Speaker 2: Effective end time strategy I wrote here for the task
- 24:02Speaker 2: of world evangelization. I submit to you that the rate
- 24:06Speaker 2: at which evangelism is happening.
- 24:09Speaker 5: Globally speaking is very slow.
- 24:12Speaker 2: Compared to God's expectation and with respect to the time
- 24:16Speaker 2: we have left, there has to be intelligence outsourced from
- 24:20Speaker 2: the spirit, more effective methods. One on one evangelism, as
- 24:25Speaker 2: powerful as it is, will only end us in frustration.
- 24:29Speaker 2: A few statistics for your understanding. We have about eight
- 24:32Speaker 2: billion people approximately last I checked on Earth today and
- 24:37Speaker 2: Christianity as we know that includes everything that is called Christianity,
- 24:42Speaker 2: it is about two point eight billion people. So we
- 24:46Speaker 2: have two point eight billion practicing Christians who are alive today.
- 24:51Speaker 2: Statistically speaking, are we together? And if it took that
- 24:56Speaker 2: long to have this kind of harvest, and how many hundreds,
- 24:59Speaker 2: a and thousands of years will need take to be
- 25:01Speaker 2: able to cover the globe with the message, it then
- 25:04Speaker 2: means there has to be an intelligent idea. There are
- 25:08Speaker 2: people who have come up. For instance, from a standpoint
- 25:11Speaker 2: of technology, did you know that the amount of people
- 25:15Speaker 2: who subscribe to many of the apps and some of
- 25:18Speaker 2: the technological products we have on earth are way more
- 25:21Speaker 2: than two point five billion. That means human beings have
- 25:24Speaker 2: invented an idea that is more in is more productive
- 25:30Speaker 2: than the gospel, because the world received their ideas, and
- 25:34Speaker 2: all those ideas are not more than twenty years old.
- 25:39Speaker 2: Are we together twenty years ago? Many of the social
- 25:43Speaker 2: media platforms we have today, we're not there or were
- 25:46Speaker 2: not the way they are now. That means that the
- 25:48Speaker 2: believer in approaching the subject of world evangelization understanding the
- 25:54Speaker 2: message is not enough. Our next assignment must be to
- 25:57Speaker 2: work in partnership with the Lord of the House to
- 26:00Speaker 2: come up with effective end time strategies of ensuring and
- 26:06Speaker 2: insisting that the lost get the message. Whether they make
- 26:11Speaker 2: their respond positively to the message or not is up
- 26:15Speaker 2: to them, but that we have a mandate by God
- 26:18Speaker 2: to deploy every scriptural means to get the message with
- 26:22Speaker 2: clarity and on ambiguity to the lost. Are we together?
- 26:29Speaker 5: This is the mandate Jesus gave us.
- 26:32Speaker 2: That means, if you are alive today as a believer,
- 26:35Speaker 2: and your life is not about these. As far as
- 26:39Speaker 2: God is concerned, you are not part of his program.
- 26:43Speaker 2: World evangelization is not a mandate for evangelists and missionaries
- 26:47Speaker 2: in the mission field. World evangelization is every believer's mandate.
- 26:52Speaker 2: Did you listen. If you ever say you love Jesus
- 26:55Speaker 2: or you love a man, you would want to listen
- 26:58Speaker 2: to his final words and heed to it, and make
- 27:01Speaker 2: sure you plunge your life into anything that makes that
- 27:04Speaker 2: mandate come to pass. The final words of men, even
- 27:07Speaker 2: in our world today, are precious. We keep them before
- 27:11Speaker 2: a man transits in glory. We listen carefully for the
- 27:14Speaker 2: final words, the expressions, and we take it serious. And
- 27:18Speaker 2: Jesus Christ, before his transition to be seated at the
- 27:22Speaker 2: right hand of the Father, his emphasis was the Great Commission.
- 27:27Speaker 2: And I'm saying that the first dimension, the first component,
- 27:32Speaker 2: is world evangelization. Please look up, you I believer today
- 27:37Speaker 2: because you got saved. Yes, sister, the lady who was
- 27:40Speaker 2: here giving her testimony, someone took responsibility and preached Jesus
- 27:48Speaker 2: to her and gave that young lady a chance to
- 27:51Speaker 2: now bring order to her life. It is amazing how
- 27:55Speaker 2: many believers around us never have an opportunity to hear
- 27:59Speaker 2: the ghost because subliminally, believers have been programmed to downplay
- 28:05Speaker 2: the relevance of the gospel and believe that it is
- 28:08Speaker 2: for people in the village who most likely do not
- 28:10Speaker 2: have clothes to wear away together. And there are many
- 28:13Speaker 2: people the moment we have some kind of superior orientation.
- 28:17Speaker 2: We believe that we are not the gospel is not necessary.
- 28:21Speaker 2: So in our minds we believe that the Gospel is
- 28:24Speaker 2: a product to the poor man or somebody in the
- 28:27Speaker 2: rural area. And that is wonderful. But you will be
- 28:30Speaker 2: surprised to know that people in the rural area are
- 28:33Speaker 2: at least a lot more spiritual than modern people. They
- 28:37Speaker 2: are closer to spirituality, whether by witchcraft or whatever. Their
- 28:42Speaker 2: faith is purest in the rural areas because they have
- 28:45Speaker 2: no options. Health care is almost zero, a lot of things,
- 28:48Speaker 2: and then they survive in health because they have learned
- 28:51Speaker 2: how to combine leaves plus a spirit plus other things
- 28:55Speaker 2: to remain alive.
- 28:58Speaker 5: Are we learning now this is very important.
- 29:01Speaker 2: When Jesus comes and as he begins to reward men,
- 29:05Speaker 2: the Bible clearly tells us that the reward of the
- 29:08Speaker 2: believer is going to be with respect to.
- 29:11Speaker 5: The Great Commission. This is very interesting.
- 29:13Speaker 2: The standard for our rewards are not left in the dark.
- 29:17Speaker 2: That our rewards when making or being with Jesus as
- 29:21Speaker 2: we know, is just one aspect of it, but that
- 29:25Speaker 2: there are rewards in heaven, and that those rewards will
- 29:29Speaker 2: be according to our passion and our drive. As far
- 29:33Speaker 2: as fulfilling the Great Commission is concerned, there are many
- 29:39Speaker 2: aspects to the world, to world evangelization, those who are
- 29:44Speaker 2: sent for I remember growing up sometimes you would attend,
- 29:48Speaker 2: you know, certain programs crusades, and they would ask people
- 29:53Speaker 2: how many of you are ready to dedicate your life
- 29:55Speaker 2: and go to the mission field. And sometimes you see
- 29:57Speaker 2: people just come out crying and the mental doing as
- 30:00Speaker 2: they came out because some of them have to shut
- 30:02Speaker 2: down everything. Now, as much as we love the missionaries
- 30:07Speaker 2: who are doing there, all I want you to know
- 30:09Speaker 2: that world evangelization, let me repeat for your understanding, part
- 30:14Speaker 2: of the responsibilities of any believer in Christ is to
- 30:19Speaker 2: be an active contributor towards the global harvest. It is
- 30:27Speaker 2: not an option. It has nothing to do with being
- 30:30Speaker 2: called into the Fivefold ministry or not. And you know
- 30:34Speaker 2: I said this with every sense of sadness. We pride
- 30:37Speaker 2: ourselves even in ministry, using mundane parameters of success in
- 30:43Speaker 2: the mind of God. No matter who you are and
- 30:46Speaker 2: no matter what you do, if it does not translate
- 30:49Speaker 2: to the conversion of souls, you are not much in
- 30:52Speaker 2: the kingdom. That is the truth. It's as simple as that.
- 30:55Speaker 2: Never see a soul winner and believe that soul winner
- 30:58Speaker 2: is wasting time. Soul we cannot preach, But if you
- 31:02Speaker 2: can bring people to Jesus, he is great in the kingdom.
- 31:05Speaker 2: It's important for us to redefine our success by superior
- 31:10Speaker 2: spiritual references. There are many many people as believers, even
- 31:16Speaker 2: as men of God. In a whole year, you can
- 31:19Speaker 2: literally count by hand the number of people who are saved.
- 31:23Speaker 2: Is a waste of platform, is a waste of grace.
- 31:28Speaker 2: Two point six billion professing Christians. This is not an
- 31:32Speaker 2: advocation of an evangelist. This is a crime that is
- 31:35Speaker 2: in the heart of God. And listen, let me tell
- 31:38Speaker 2: you the truth. The Bible says I shall not die.
- 31:40Speaker 2: We hear that a lot. What the Bible says that
- 31:43Speaker 2: you're longeviting the kingdom, among many other factors, is connected
- 31:48Speaker 2: to your participating in the Great Commission, I shall not die,
- 31:51Speaker 2: but live and declare. In other words, if your life
- 31:56Speaker 2: is not actively contributing as far as a Great Commission
- 32:00Speaker 2: is concerned, there is no justification for your longevity.
- 32:07Speaker 5: Are we sticking together?
- 32:10Speaker 2: Power was given to the disciples with respect to Great Commission,
- 32:14Speaker 2: the Great Commission, influence with respect to the Great Commission
- 32:18Speaker 2: today with desire, power, prosperity, fame. But in isolation to
- 32:24Speaker 2: the Great Commission, all of the gracings that come from
- 32:28Speaker 2: God to the believer are supposed to be tools that
- 32:31Speaker 2: will be used eventually for the harvest. So there are
- 32:36Speaker 2: many people praying for the grace from miracles, science, and wonders,
- 32:39Speaker 2: and it is absolutely not connected to the Great Commission.
- 32:43Speaker 2: No wonder those you read about in the Bible, and
- 32:47Speaker 2: those who read about you know in modern history we
- 32:50Speaker 2: call them gods generals. The reason why we do not
- 32:53Speaker 2: see the kind of power and manifestation of the spirit
- 32:56Speaker 2: in their lives that we saw in their lives was
- 32:59Speaker 2: because their attention was not on power. Their attention was
- 33:03Speaker 2: not on the miraculous. Their attention was on fulfilling the
- 33:07Speaker 2: Great Commission. And whilst they went the Bible says the
- 33:10Speaker 2: Lord working with them, confirming the world with signs following
- 33:15Speaker 2: in Ads Chapter eight, when you read from verse five,
- 33:18Speaker 2: the Bible speaking about Philip said that Philip went down
- 33:21Speaker 2: to Samaria and preached Christ in obedience to the mandate.
- 33:26Speaker 2: He preached Christ as soon as he got to Samaria.
- 33:30Speaker 2: There was no other business. Listen, these guys were so
- 33:33Speaker 2: intoxicated by this assignment. If they found themselves in a city,
- 33:38Speaker 2: whether they were free or in chains, their prayer point
- 33:42Speaker 2: was not freedom from captivity. Their prayer point was how
- 33:46Speaker 2: do I Everybody was a harvest to them, everybody if
- 33:50Speaker 2: they were in the prison, it was an opportunity for everybody.
- 33:54Speaker 2: The jailer, the prisoners, everybody, his family were harvest. They
- 34:01Speaker 2: saw it, damnself, rejoicing prop assigned by the spirit of
- 34:04Speaker 2: divination a harvest. They were flogged and taken to prison.
- 34:08Speaker 2: They were harvest conscious. If you're together, say amen. They
- 34:15Speaker 2: never allowed any opportunity to be wasted. You make a
- 34:18Speaker 2: mistake of bringing Paul before any of the council. Give
- 34:23Speaker 2: him five minutes to open his mouth, and you almost
- 34:25Speaker 2: be converted. He coordinated his intelligence, his energy. When Paul
- 34:34Speaker 2: was in prison, you would think he should be frustrated.
- 34:37Speaker 2: He's thinking, Okay, if I were free now, I would
- 34:40Speaker 2: have been reaching these people. Let me at least write
- 34:42Speaker 2: a letter, a letter to distort. I hope you're still
- 34:45Speaker 2: well behaved. I'm coming out soon, and I assure you
- 34:48Speaker 2: when I come out, I'm coming straight to you. If
- 34:50Speaker 2: you come out of prison, won't you run away? Go
- 34:55Speaker 2: and read your Bible. The mandate that Jesus gave us
- 35:01Speaker 2: requires a level of aggression. This is a reason why
- 35:06Speaker 2: when you love your life, the Bible says you will
- 35:09Speaker 2: lose it, you have to love it more than your life.
- 35:12Speaker 2: That your life is all about the great Commission. Today,
- 35:17Speaker 2: people desire fame today, people desire to be celebrities, respectfully speaking,
- 35:22Speaker 2: even as men of God, with desire elevated platforms. And
- 35:26Speaker 2: you will be surprised that in all of that desire,
- 35:29Speaker 2: the purposes of the Kingdom, even world evangelization, is the
- 35:33Speaker 2: least of our concerns. Great men like David Youngie show
- 35:38Speaker 2: and while these men had the opportunity to serve the
- 35:40Speaker 2: purposes of God in their lifetime, the reason why they
- 35:44Speaker 2: model such level of increase, such level of excellence in
- 35:48Speaker 2: church growth, was because at the back of their desire
- 35:53Speaker 2: was world evangelization, not fame. Same with fathers in the
- 35:58Speaker 2: faith like Barbad de Boh. I remember when he clocked eighty.
- 36:04Speaker 2: His mandate was to be able to win. I can't
- 36:08Speaker 2: remember how many many about eight million souls with the
- 36:12Speaker 2: remaining time he has. Can you imagine you ask a
- 36:15Speaker 2: man what do you want? And anything he says will
- 36:17Speaker 2: almost become an instruction for you. And yet he says,
- 36:20Speaker 2: all I want is eight million souls. That's what brought
- 36:23Speaker 2: about the light of campaign globally that within the time.
- 36:28Speaker 2: I remember one time, you know, just respectfully speaking, I
- 36:32Speaker 2: was speaking to one of his people and I said,
- 36:34Speaker 2: I hope you people get to rest. Please tell you
- 36:37Speaker 2: know that issuld take some time to rest. And he said, no,
- 36:40Speaker 2: he will rest when he gets to heaven. As far
- 36:42Speaker 2: as the ethist concerned, I must walk the walks of
- 36:46Speaker 2: him that sent me. This is a man in his eighties,
- 36:49Speaker 2: and there are many many young people jumping up and
- 36:51Speaker 2: down crying and say I want a double portion of
- 36:53Speaker 2: his grace without a double portion of the desire world evangelization.
- 36:59Speaker 2: Please hear me, no matter how sophisticated you As first
- 37:03Speaker 2: revelation is concerned if your life does not directly translate
- 37:07Speaker 2: to soul winning effective soul winning when it has to
- 37:12Speaker 2: do with soul winning, numbers matter. When it has to
- 37:16Speaker 2: do with discipleship, numbers may not matter, but ladies and gentlemen,
- 37:20Speaker 2: so winning is one soul.
- 37:22Speaker 4: As a time.
- 37:23Speaker 2: If you win one hundred souls versus ten souls, hundred
- 37:27Speaker 2: souls are better by far. But when it has to
- 37:30Speaker 2: do with discipleship, you can have five thousand members versus
- 37:35Speaker 2: twenty members, and you are dealing with twenty more effective people.
- 37:38Speaker 2: I repeat in soul winning numbers matter. That means our
- 37:45Speaker 2: lives must be all about using every scriptural mechanism to
- 37:50Speaker 2: bring people to Jesus, allelujah. To bring people to Jesus.
- 37:57Speaker 2: One time I was told that that was preaching among pastors.
- 38:01Speaker 2: Who was a pastors conference also, and when he was
- 38:04Speaker 2: don't preaching? Was it his leaders or thereabout? I can't
- 38:07Speaker 2: remember the story exactly. Then he made another call, these
- 38:10Speaker 2: are people he trained, but there's no taking chances. Who knows.
- 38:19Speaker 2: May God restore our passion for souls, allelujah. May God
- 38:23Speaker 2: restore our passion for souls. May God increase our passion
- 38:27Speaker 2: to be greater than our desire for power. May God
- 38:30Speaker 2: increase our passion for world evangelization to be greater than
- 38:34Speaker 2: our passion for money and fame and all of these things.
- 38:38Speaker 2: I am telling you that all that we seek only
- 38:40Speaker 2: finds its value when it is connected to purpose, in
- 38:43Speaker 2: this case, world evangelization.
- 38:46Speaker 5: This is the first component.
- 38:49Speaker 2: So if a man fails by any ethnic standard in life,
- 38:53Speaker 2: and you spend your life bringing many to Jesus, the
- 38:56Speaker 2: Bible tells us in Daniel, chapter twelfth and verse three,
- 39:00Speaker 2: please give it to us. It says there that the
- 39:02Speaker 2: white shall shine as the brightness of the firmament, and
- 39:05Speaker 2: they that turn many to righteousness as the stars forever
- 39:10Speaker 2: and ever, forever and ever, forever and ever. We have
- 39:21Speaker 2: converted soul winning respectfully speaking, and focused it largely as
- 39:27Speaker 2: a tool for church growth rather than world evangelization. As
- 39:33Speaker 2: sincere as that is, there needs to be an adjustment
- 39:35Speaker 2: to our understanding. The purpose of soul winning is not
- 39:39Speaker 2: more members in church. The purpose of soul winning is
- 39:42Speaker 2: to see that the message the Gospel gets to the lost.
- 39:46Speaker 2: Are we together now? Yes? And everyone, including those hearing
- 39:51Speaker 2: me now, all who are connected across the globe. It
- 39:54Speaker 2: is your business. Don't just be around the harvest field.
- 39:57Speaker 2: You are not a laborer because you are looking at
- 39:59Speaker 2: the fiel. You are not a laborer because you are
- 40:02Speaker 2: near the field. You are a laborer to the degree
- 40:05Speaker 2: to which you are actively participating in the harvest. The
- 40:11Speaker 2: second component, very quickly, please write. The second component of
- 40:17Speaker 2: the mandates that Jesus left with the church is called discipleship.
- 40:21Speaker 2: Please write it down. Discipleship. The second component discipleship Matthew
- 40:28Speaker 2: twenty eight from verse eighteen to twenty. Matthew twenty eight
- 40:32Speaker 2: from verse eighteen to twenty. And Jesus came and speked
- 40:35Speaker 2: onto them, saying, all authority in heaven is given to
- 40:39Speaker 2: me in heaven and earth.
- 40:41Speaker 5: Nineteen.
- 40:41Speaker 2: Go ye, therefore, now watch this now and teach all nations,
- 40:47Speaker 2: baptizing them in the name of the Father, of the
- 40:50Speaker 2: Son and of the Holy Ghost twenty teaching them to
- 40:54Speaker 2: observe whatsoever I have commanded you. And while you are
- 40:59Speaker 2: about the business of teaching and guiding them to observe,
- 41:04Speaker 2: I am with you all way to the ends of
- 41:07Speaker 2: the earth. The second component of this mandate Jesus gave
- 41:12Speaker 2: us the Great commission is discipleship. What is discipleship the
- 41:19Speaker 2: mentorship of believers to attain maturity and stature through doctrine.
- 41:25Speaker 2: The mentorship of believers to attain onto maturity and stature
- 41:31Speaker 2: through doctrine. This is what the Bible calls discipleships, the
- 41:37Speaker 2: mentorship of believers those who are now saved to attain
- 41:42Speaker 2: onto maturity and stature through doctrine. Another definition of discipleship
- 41:50Speaker 2: helping believer us understand the principles of the Kingdom. Helping
- 41:55Speaker 2: believers understand the principles of the Kingdom through the teaching ministry.
- 42:04Speaker 2: Please write helping believers understand the principles of the Kingdom
- 42:08Speaker 2: the Ways of God through the teaching ministry. So we
- 42:12Speaker 2: see that the first component of the Great Commission has
- 42:16Speaker 2: to do with preaching the Gospel. The second component has
- 42:19Speaker 2: to do with maturing believers, mentoring them to maturity and
- 42:26Speaker 2: stature through doctrine. The end product I wrote here of
- 42:32Speaker 2: discipleship is personal transformation and maturity. The end product of discipleship,
- 42:40Speaker 2: whatever you call discipleship, you know whether it is biblical
- 42:44Speaker 2: discipleship if it leads to personal transformation and maturity. That
- 42:51Speaker 2: means when you submit believers to any body of truth,
- 42:54Speaker 2: whatsoever for that matter, if it does not translate to
- 42:58Speaker 2: personal transformation and maturity, it is not biblical discipleship. Are
- 43:06Speaker 2: we learning? So component number one world evangelization. Component number
- 43:13Speaker 2: two is discipleship. Now do you know that component number
- 43:19Speaker 2: two is the primary reason for the physical convergence of believers.
- 43:24Speaker 2: What you call church. The accressia as a local assembly
- 43:29Speaker 2: is supposed to be an authorized platform where believers converge consistently.
- 43:34Speaker 2: Are we together? There has to be a central point
- 43:38Speaker 2: of convergence so that believers are mentored methodically, line upon line,
- 43:44Speaker 2: precept upon precept. In ADS two forty two, the Bible
- 43:48Speaker 2: says they continued steadfastly in the apostles, doctrine, in fellowship,
- 43:54Speaker 2: in breaking of bread, and in prayers, so they had
- 43:59Speaker 2: a place of convergence consistently. The purpose of church is
- 44:04Speaker 2: not just to tie men who are loyal to one
- 44:08Speaker 2: man of God. Respectfully speaking, no church is greater than that.
- 44:12Speaker 2: It is supposed to be a place of convergence. Are
- 44:14Speaker 2: we together, where believers come and they are men taught
- 44:18Speaker 2: to be effective witnesses, effective communicators of the Gospel, and
- 44:24Speaker 2: effective people to live their lives effectively, and then to
- 44:28Speaker 2: be agents of transformation as far as the program of
- 44:31Speaker 2: God is concerned. Many aspects of the Great Commission focus
- 44:38Speaker 2: on world evangelization and we ignore discipleship. This is the
- 44:43Speaker 2: reason why when you get your havest from the firm,
- 44:46Speaker 2: please look up. I've said it here many times. Imagine
- 44:50Speaker 2: with me that you go to the firm and you
- 44:52Speaker 2: have essay to Matto or Yam or whatever it is,
- 44:55Speaker 2: and you just keep it in the field there and
- 44:58Speaker 2: you do not take it into process to package it.
- 45:00Speaker 2: What begins to happen to it, It begins to decay.
- 45:04Speaker 2: This is the challenge we have in the Body of Christ.
- 45:07Speaker 2: So we have several people who have encountered Jesus genuinely,
- 45:11Speaker 2: but because of the absence of growth and maturity, some
- 45:15Speaker 2: of them even attaind ONTO leadership positions just because of
- 45:19Speaker 2: longevity of their stay, not using the index of transformation
- 45:23Speaker 2: and maturity. So, if you have, respectfully speaking, a pastor
- 45:28Speaker 2: or a leader or a head of departments who now
- 45:31Speaker 2: has influenced to perform functions within the church or the
- 45:35Speaker 2: program of God, and that person has not been disciples,
- 45:39Speaker 2: he will only mentor people from the lens of his
- 45:42Speaker 2: or her limitations.
- 45:43Speaker 4: Are we together.
- 45:45Speaker 2: Discipleship is very important. And now I know that when
- 45:49Speaker 2: we talk about discipleship it means many things to many people.
- 45:53Speaker 2: I'm talking about biblical discipleship. The end of discipleship is
- 45:58Speaker 2: not slavery and subject. The end of discipleship is liberty
- 46:03Speaker 2: by communication of doctrine. I told you you know it
- 46:07Speaker 2: is biblical discipleship if at the end of it there
- 46:11Speaker 2: is personal transformation and there is maturity. So here is
- 46:15Speaker 2: a believer who is a product of world evangelization. Now
- 46:19Speaker 2: he has come to Jesus Christ, and he is now
- 46:22Speaker 2: allotted by grace. Remember there is one who is called
- 46:25Speaker 2: the Lord of the Harvest, and he's the one who
- 46:28Speaker 2: allots the souls to the various platforms. All that you
- 46:32Speaker 2: have given me, Jesus said, I have kept. Nobody has
- 46:36Speaker 2: the power to bring members to himself. It is God
- 46:39Speaker 2: that allocates people based on many factors, including the faithfulness
- 46:44Speaker 2: and the preparedness of the teaching priests. Are we together now, Yes?
- 46:50Speaker 2: So when God brings people to Coinonia, and God brings
- 46:56Speaker 2: people to any ministry, he's empowering you to teach them
- 47:00Speaker 2: and to mentor them, to show them the ways of God.
- 47:05Speaker 2: Is the reason why as much as possible. The central
- 47:09Speaker 2: focus in every church activity, as much as possible, must
- 47:13Speaker 2: be the teaching of the world. Not respectfully speaking with
- 47:18Speaker 2: all due respect, sometimes we need to manage except for
- 47:21Speaker 2: special locations, I understand. But the centrality of a church
- 47:26Speaker 2: activity it should be centered around platforms that impact understanding.
- 47:33Speaker 2: If you have, for instance, a church service of three
- 47:36Speaker 2: hours and it is largely spent doing a lot of
- 47:39Speaker 2: things that do not translate to teaching, then justice is
- 47:44Speaker 2: not being done to the mentoring and the maturity of
- 47:46Speaker 2: the people, because the truth is, it takes time to
- 47:49Speaker 2: learn the ways of God. Are we together? Papa Hagen
- 47:54Speaker 2: and many of the Blessed memory the reason why their
- 47:57Speaker 2: products were solid people was because they spend time teaching.
- 48:02Speaker 2: They spend time in pating knowledge. Sometimes they would have
- 48:06Speaker 2: meetings for days, and they were largely world based meetings.
- 48:11Speaker 2: Look at Jesus the ratio of his teaching ministry to
- 48:14Speaker 2: impartation three and a half years to one day the
- 48:19Speaker 2: moment the disciples were with him. All right, gentlemen, sit down.
- 48:24Speaker 2: Occasionally a crowd will come and he turns it into
- 48:27Speaker 2: a crusade. And when he's done healing and doing all
- 48:29Speaker 2: of that go home. Then he sits with the disciples
- 48:33Speaker 2: and says, let's continue. That was all he did for
- 48:36Speaker 2: three and a half years. And then he said, now
- 48:38Speaker 2: that you know, tarry until you be empowered. Look at
- 48:41Speaker 2: the product of Jesus's mentorship. You want to know how
- 48:44Speaker 2: well Jesus performed, go to ask chapter two one.
- 48:46Speaker 4: Verse one.
- 48:47Speaker 2: When the holy goos came, Peter said, no, we're not
- 48:49Speaker 2: in ignorance. He said, this is that, and this guy began.
- 48:53Speaker 2: That was his first official salmon from his student in training,
- 48:59Speaker 2: apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ. And if defended the
- 49:03Speaker 2: faith with intelligence, this guys, look at this, as said,
- 49:06Speaker 2: this is a scripture. He was preaching the gospel. He
- 49:09Speaker 2: started from David. He now went to Joel, now to Suns.
- 49:13Speaker 2: And he ended his simon by saying, this same Jesus,
- 49:16Speaker 2: whom you have crucified, has today been exalted as Lord
- 49:19Speaker 2: and Christ, who will not be caught to the heart.
- 49:21Speaker 2: After that simon, the Bible says they were caught to
- 49:24Speaker 2: the heart, and they said, men and brethren.
- 49:26Speaker 4: What do we do?
- 49:27Speaker 2: And he said, repent for the remission of your sins, hallelujah,
- 49:31Speaker 2: And then you shall receive this promise for the promises
- 49:34Speaker 2: unto you and to your children, and so on and
- 49:36Speaker 2: so forth. Many believe us today the quality of believers
- 49:42Speaker 2: that we have, respectfully speaking in the Body of Christ
- 49:45Speaker 2: is largely a product of war or imbalanced mentorship. So
- 49:51Speaker 2: the lopsidedness and the quality of believers that have been produced,
- 49:55Speaker 2: you cannot the quality of discipleship be within any defined territory.
- 50:01Speaker 2: By random sampling believers and testing their level of maturity
- 50:06Speaker 2: and their level of transformation agains factors like prayer, how
- 50:10Speaker 2: they respond to challenges, their orientation about material wealth with
- 50:15Speaker 2: respect to God's eternal standpoints. Are we together? All of
- 50:18Speaker 2: these indices are parameters that you can use to literally
- 50:23Speaker 2: gage the maturity level of a believer. If it then
- 50:28Speaker 2: means that we have a responsibility as believers, and especially
- 50:33Speaker 2: as those who have been privileged to serve at the altar,
- 50:36Speaker 2: to ensure that we take the issue of discipleship very seriously,
- 50:41Speaker 2: to methodically grow and build believers until they attain a
- 50:46Speaker 2: state of transformation and maturity. I have told us here
- 50:51Speaker 2: that the value of empowerment upon a believer is when
- 50:54Speaker 2: the anointing comes upon a mind that is transformed. Now,
- 51:01Speaker 2: Notice the Gospel deals essentially with the.
- 51:05Speaker 5: Heart or the spirit of men.
- 51:07Speaker 2: Transformation by the teaching ministry deals essentially with the mind.
- 51:13Speaker 2: The Great Commission is essentially a battle for the hearts
- 51:16Speaker 2: and the minds of men, the hearts and the minds
- 51:20Speaker 2: of men, the hearts and the minds of men.
- 51:23Speaker 5: Allelujah.
- 51:24Speaker 2: When Jesus walked upon the earth, his emphasis was on
- 51:28Speaker 2: the minds and the hearts of men. Said discipleship one
- 51:33Speaker 2: more time, Please shout to say discipleship. And it is
- 51:37Speaker 2: everybody's business. When a father, as a priest takes responsibility
- 51:43Speaker 2: as a disciple to mentor and teach the children and
- 51:47Speaker 2: all who are within your care, the quality of the
- 51:50Speaker 2: product that comes from your house will be added to
- 51:53Speaker 2: the school that the children go to. Am I right
- 51:55Speaker 2: on that. Now you make the job easy for teachers,
- 51:58Speaker 2: because well behaves students are already on their way. That
- 52:02Speaker 2: the well behaved children will become well behave students. In
- 52:06Speaker 2: addition to the mentorship that happens within the school, you
- 52:09Speaker 2: now begin to produce products that can influence their pears positively.
- 52:15Speaker 2: You've heard me say every national problem was eventually a
- 52:19Speaker 2: regional problem. Eventually or at the start a family problem
- 52:25Speaker 2: that was a product of carelessness and neglect. Every ambroba
- 52:30Speaker 2: came from a home. Everyone disturbing society came from a home.
- 52:35Speaker 2: And everyone to the who is a joy to every
- 52:37Speaker 2: society came from a home. A home there does not
- 52:40Speaker 2: just mean a biological place. Even the church is a home. Allelujah.
- 52:45Speaker 2: Let me tell you the truth. The major problem I
- 52:48Speaker 2: will tell you that has affected the quality of believers
- 52:52Speaker 2: in Nigeria, in Africa and globally so is the ill
- 52:57Speaker 2: health or the imbalance of discipleship, the lapse in understanding
- 53:03Speaker 2: and approach. As far as discipleship is concerned, you cannot
- 53:09Speaker 2: raise mighty men by communicating some standard spiritual truths. It
- 53:14Speaker 2: does not happen that way. Ordinary men came to David
- 53:17Speaker 2: in the cave of Adullam, and the Bible says he
- 53:19Speaker 2: men taught them and produced men of power, that he
- 53:23Speaker 2: called them the men of David. The men were so
- 53:26Speaker 2: dexterous and powerful. These are the kinds of men, the
- 53:31Speaker 2: kinds of men that God is looking for in this
- 53:33Speaker 2: end time, and it is going to be through the
- 53:36Speaker 2: instrumentality of discipleship. You're sitting under this teaching grace. Now
- 53:41Speaker 2: you're learning the ways of God when life. When life
- 53:44Speaker 2: comes to you, in whatever form it comes, it is
- 53:47Speaker 2: on the strength of the truths that you know that
- 53:50Speaker 2: you are able to stand. Am I right on that
- 53:53Speaker 2: if you have been taught, for instance, that challenges are
- 53:56Speaker 2: not unusual for the believer. When you find out that
- 53:58Speaker 2: you are confronting challenge, you will not begin to make
- 54:01Speaker 2: statements like God, where are you? Rather, you will find
- 54:04Speaker 2: out what does the Bible say should be the believer's
- 54:07Speaker 2: approach an attitude in the midst of challenges. The Lord
- 54:10Speaker 2: is my light and my salvation. Of whom shall I
- 54:12Speaker 2: be afraid of? I know that this shall turn to
- 54:15Speaker 2: my salvation through your prayer and the supply of the
- 54:18Speaker 2: Spirit of Christ Jesus. Is any man afflicted, let him pray.
- 54:22Speaker 2: So when as a matured believer, properly mentored in the
- 54:26Speaker 2: face of challenges, while one person is languishing and shouting
- 54:29Speaker 2: for you, as a believer, there has been a scriptural
- 54:32Speaker 2: mindset that you have been given. Are we together? Yes?
- 54:38Speaker 2: When you lose a loved one, if you have been
- 54:41Speaker 2: properly mentored, part of the mentorship you should have received
- 54:45Speaker 2: is how to manage people who transit in glory because
- 54:48Speaker 2: poorly mentoring the church. He let us know that when
- 54:51Speaker 2: people die in Christ, they are not dead, they sleep.
- 54:54Speaker 2: And so in the midst of the pain that comes
- 54:56Speaker 2: by being a human being, you are comforted by the
- 54:59Speaker 2: fact that to be absent in the body is to
- 55:02Speaker 2: be present with the Lord. Maturity has given you the
- 55:05Speaker 2: fortitude to stand. Are we together now?
- 55:08Speaker 6: Yes?
- 55:08Speaker 2: If you are in a region where you are facing
- 55:10Speaker 2: tribulation and persecution in the office, instead of bending to
- 55:14Speaker 2: compromising because of proper discipleship, you know the Bible says, counted,
- 55:20Speaker 2: all join my brethren when you face diverse persecutions, knowing
- 55:24Speaker 2: this that the trying of your fiate work at patients.
- 55:27Speaker 2: On the strength of that maturity, you can stand even
- 55:30Speaker 2: if you stand alone. Jesus said, in this world you
- 55:33Speaker 2: will have tribulation, but be of good share. I have
- 55:36Speaker 2: overcome the world. So you may cry what you still
- 55:39Speaker 2: stand for righteousness that is the product of mentorship, not evangelism.
- 55:45Speaker 2: Most believers chicken in the face of everything because capacity
- 55:49Speaker 2: has not been built through discipleship. It says, if you
- 55:53Speaker 2: turn aside in the day of battle, it is that
- 55:55Speaker 2: your strength is small are we together? If you have
- 55:59Speaker 2: been taught the purpose of wealth, when God blesses you,
- 56:02Speaker 2: it does not bring tride because mentorship has balanced your
- 56:06Speaker 2: understanding that everything in the Kingdom finds its relevance as
- 56:10Speaker 2: it is connected to purpose. So you can be a
- 56:12Speaker 2: billow near and yet you can serve in the House
- 56:15Speaker 2: of God with humility because you know that a man
- 56:17Speaker 2: can receive nothing excepted is given to him. Are you
- 56:20Speaker 2: seeing now your life is brought to order because of
- 56:24Speaker 2: discipleship and maturity. How about the place of character? Now
- 56:28Speaker 2: you learn that the grace and anointing can leave you,
- 56:31Speaker 2: but it takes character to remain there, My little children,
- 56:35Speaker 2: says of whom I travel until Christ be formed in you.
- 56:39Speaker 2: So when you come with your lost and anger and whatever,
- 56:42Speaker 2: you are not ashamed. You come before the Lord like
- 56:44Speaker 2: a treashing flow, knowing that in his presence there is
- 56:48Speaker 2: the worshing of the water by the world. Are we blessed?
- 56:58Speaker 2: Discipleship is the only hope for the maturity of the believer.
- 57:02Speaker 2: Methodically mentoring believers and holistically soul. I have always been
- 57:08Speaker 2: an advocate of balance, mentorship and maturity. So your spiritual
- 57:14Speaker 2: life is covered. Your life as far as relating with
- 57:17Speaker 2: the cosmos is covered, intelligence that translates to the quality
- 57:21Speaker 2: of your life is covered. Are we together? No aspect
- 57:25Speaker 2: of your life is left without you receiving wholesome teaching.
- 57:29Speaker 2: When I'm teaching you on finance, I would teach you
- 57:32Speaker 2: that same there is nothing else to teach. When I'm
- 57:34Speaker 2: teaching on soul winning, I will teach us if there
- 57:36Speaker 2: is nothing else to teach, because it is lying upon line,
- 57:40Speaker 2: precept upon precept, here a little, there, a little. When
- 57:45Speaker 2: you are teaching on the gift of the Spirit, you
- 57:47Speaker 2: help the believer to understand and appreciate that there is
- 57:50Speaker 2: such a reality as the gift of the Spirit. But
- 57:53Speaker 2: then that the gift of the Spirit only profits the
- 57:56Speaker 2: body when it is don't dissently and in order. Many
- 58:03Speaker 2: of the excesses within the Body of Christ, includes the
- 58:07Speaker 2: Nigerian Church, the African Church, and respectfully speaking, world over,
- 58:12Speaker 2: is a direct product of the inefficiency in discipleship. Our
- 58:19Speaker 2: discipleship models must be reviewed because there are many discipleship
- 58:24Speaker 2: models that end up leading to slavery. There are many
- 58:28Speaker 2: discipleship models that do not bring liberty. Respectfully speaking, there
- 58:32Speaker 2: are many discipleship models that simply bind people across a
- 58:36Speaker 2: sect and does not bring liberty to the kingdom. Ambassadors,
- 58:39Speaker 2: So when I talk about discipleship, the true proof that
- 58:43Speaker 2: you have been discipled is your personal transformation and your maturity.
- 58:49Speaker 2: What made you cry yesterday no longer makes you cry
- 58:51Speaker 2: today because you have grown and talking about growth. First Corinthians,
- 58:58Speaker 2: starteen and verse eleven, please give it to us thirteen eleven.
- 59:02Speaker 2: First Corinthians, let's read together. Ready want to read. When
- 59:06Speaker 2: I was a child, I spake as a child, I
- 59:10Speaker 2: understood as a child, I taught as a child. But
- 59:14Speaker 2: when I became a man, I put away childish things.
- 59:18Speaker 2: This is the biblical index to measure maturity, your thoughts,
- 59:23Speaker 2: your words, that you have been so transformed you.
- 59:26Speaker 5: Approach life from a superior standpoint.
- 59:30Speaker 2: If someone looks at you and says you're a failure,
- 59:32Speaker 2: it does not become a prayer point. Mentorship has so
- 59:35Speaker 2: beaut you. You are so elevated in your mind. You
- 59:38Speaker 2: will not demean your transformation by paying attention to mundane things.
- 59:42Speaker 2: You have been so indoctrinated that you are seated with Christ.
- 59:47Speaker 2: You are of a superior race in Christ. That if
- 59:49Speaker 2: someone looks at you and says, you will not make it.
- 59:52Speaker 2: Your prayer will be for the person because you've been taught.
- 59:55Speaker 2: You see that now as an example, the mandate that
- 1:00:04Speaker 2: Jesus gave us requires discipleship to raise a very, very healthy,
- 1:00:13Speaker 2: a very vibrant army for him. And this is the
- 1:00:16Speaker 2: assignment that God has given the Fivefold according to efficients
- 1:00:20Speaker 2: chapter four. When you read from verse eighteen efficients four,
- 1:00:24Speaker 2: from verse eighteen, did I get that right? Help me?
- 1:00:29Speaker 2: He led captivity captive, and he gave gifts to men,
- 1:00:34Speaker 2: and the Bible says he gave some apostles and prophets
- 1:00:37Speaker 2: and pastors and teachers. Elevened my apologies, he says, for
- 1:00:41Speaker 2: the ed defying verse twelve. Now perfecting or maturing of
- 1:00:46Speaker 2: the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the
- 1:00:48Speaker 2: ed defying of the Body of Christ.
- 1:00:51Speaker 5: That means, the Fivefold.
- 1:00:52Speaker 2: Ministry in its entirety, is God's strategy designed to help
- 1:00:57Speaker 2: believe us attain onto maturity. Verse Thateen says. It says,
- 1:01:01Speaker 2: till we all come into the unity of faith and
- 1:01:04Speaker 2: of the knowledge of the Son of God, onto a
- 1:01:06Speaker 2: perfect man, the measure of the stature of the fullness
- 1:01:11Speaker 2: of Christ, the fullness of Christ, the fullness of Christ.
- 1:01:15Speaker 2: He's talking to people who are already saved, but he's saying,
- 1:01:18Speaker 2: there is an experience of the fullness of Christ that
- 1:01:22Speaker 2: we need to come into. If you're understanding me, shout aloud. Amen.
- 1:01:28Speaker 2: Your response to life, your response to all the things
- 1:01:32Speaker 2: that happen around your life, is a testament as to
- 1:01:35Speaker 2: how much you have been transformed. Allelujah. That is the
- 1:01:42Speaker 2: reason why the Bible says not many people should presume
- 1:01:45Speaker 2: to be teachers, because our judgment as teachers will be higher.
- 1:01:49Speaker 2: You know why, God will say, I gave you access
- 1:01:51Speaker 2: to the minds of millions for twenty years, for thirty years,
- 1:01:55Speaker 2: for forty years. What did you teach them? You can
- 1:01:58Speaker 2: literally field a whole general towards error because of the
- 1:02:02Speaker 2: power of teaching, and you can direct a generation back.
- 1:02:08Speaker 2: When Satan wants to destroy the sheep, the first thing
- 1:02:12Speaker 2: he does is to corrupt or destroy the shepherd. It
- 1:02:17Speaker 2: is very easy to destroy the sheep when the shepherd
- 1:02:21Speaker 2: is out of balance, out of rich, out of order.
- 1:02:26Speaker 2: Are we together? That is why as shepherds we depend
- 1:02:30Speaker 2: on God with.
- 1:02:31Speaker 5: All our lives.
- 1:02:32Speaker 2: The Bible says, trusting the Lord with all your heart
- 1:02:34Speaker 2: and lean not on your own understanding. It says, in
- 1:02:37Speaker 2: all your ways, acknowledge Him, and it shall mixtreate your part.
- 1:02:40Speaker 2: When it has to do with this mission of transformation
- 1:02:43Speaker 2: and discipleship. There are no masters there because we are
- 1:02:47Speaker 2: all students continually learning. We lean consistently on His grace
- 1:02:52Speaker 2: as we help to make our contributions, as far as
- 1:02:55Speaker 2: building a rop boss army for the king is concerned.
- 1:03:00Speaker 4: Grace, your grace.
- 1:03:04Speaker 7: I'm nothing without you, your grace.
- 1:03:12Speaker 2: Your grace shines on me. It's your grace.
- 1:03:21Speaker 4: Hear your grace.
- 1:03:24Speaker 7: I'm nothing without you, your grace.
- 1:03:31Speaker 2: Hear your grace shines on me. My dear people.
- 1:03:38Speaker 5: Let me give you a very big secret.
- 1:03:40Speaker 2: The greatest gift you can give any man of God.
- 1:03:45Speaker 2: It is not a car. The greatest gift.
- 1:03:48Speaker 5: You can give any man of God.
- 1:03:50Speaker 2: It's not a house, it's not a lot and money
- 1:03:53Speaker 2: in the account. As wonderful as that is, the greatest
- 1:03:56Speaker 2: gift you can give a man of God is so
- 1:04:00Speaker 2: mission to be transformed by the truth that comes from
- 1:04:03Speaker 2: Him to you. Any man of God who loves Jesus
- 1:04:06Speaker 2: and loves the people committed to him, the greatest joy
- 1:04:10Speaker 2: of any man of God. I know who sincerely loves
- 1:04:14Speaker 2: God and loves his people, is to see them evolve
- 1:04:17Speaker 2: into superior spiritual versions in response to the truth that
- 1:04:22Speaker 2: he's bringing that a weak man, someone who came January
- 1:04:26Speaker 2: February right now, you look at this lady, this gentleman.
- 1:04:30Speaker 2: You are filled with the Holy Spirit, working in the
- 1:04:32Speaker 2: things of God, loving Jesus, being used by Jesus to
- 1:04:36Speaker 2: do great things for the kingdom, and then making personal
- 1:04:39Speaker 2: progress in your life and destiny. There is nothing that
- 1:04:42Speaker 2: consoles and rewards a teaching priest as transformation. If you
- 1:04:48Speaker 2: become rich and you are not transformed, there's still a
- 1:04:50Speaker 2: trouble for the man. Nobody wants to see ill builds
- 1:04:54Speaker 2: people around him. We want to see dexterity and stature
- 1:04:59Speaker 2: and power. From the opening of your lips. It shows
- 1:05:02Speaker 2: how you were properlamentored that the way you speak, your
- 1:05:06Speaker 2: words are communicate that with grace in your heart onto
- 1:05:10Speaker 2: the Lord. Your speaking has been cultured, Your life has
- 1:05:15Speaker 2: come on that define order, and people will usually ask you.
- 1:05:18Speaker 2: They will say things like which shorts do you attend?
- 1:05:21Speaker 2: These are all attempts to say who taught you you
- 1:05:24Speaker 2: are a sound product? Listen There are schools today that
- 1:05:28Speaker 2: when YX results YX the West African Exam in Nigeria
- 1:05:32Speaker 2: or JAM because of the performance that the students have,
- 1:05:37Speaker 2: am I right on that people will usually go and say, come,
- 1:05:40Speaker 2: we need to examine the curriculum because it's not that
- 1:05:43Speaker 2: the students magically evolved to become the best. They were
- 1:05:47Speaker 2: subject to a kind of strategy that produced that result.
- 1:05:57Speaker 2: So what we aim to do, by the spirit of
- 1:05:59Speaker 2: God is to methodically pass us through a spiritual system
- 1:06:04Speaker 2: lying upon line. Can I tell you I submit to
- 1:06:07Speaker 2: you by the authority of Scripture that if you submit
- 1:06:11Speaker 2: yourself to the truths that you are hearing week after
- 1:06:14Speaker 2: week with your heart being opened, the opening of your
- 1:06:17Speaker 2: heart is your own responsibility. Are we together it is
- 1:06:21Speaker 2: impossible to remain a failure by every and all standards.
- 1:06:26Speaker 2: Your life will be nothing short of a sign and
- 1:06:29Speaker 2: a wonder because the truths you are hearing are not
- 1:06:32Speaker 2: conningly devised fables. They have been tested, not just in
- 1:06:36Speaker 2: our lives, they have been tested in the lives of
- 1:06:38Speaker 2: those that we have received the button from. And the
- 1:06:40Speaker 2: Bible says and that from a child, THU has not
- 1:06:43Speaker 2: the holy scripture. You want anointing. There is a strategy
- 1:06:47Speaker 2: you want wisdom, There is a strategy you want favor.
- 1:06:51Speaker 2: There is a strategy you want increase that God should
- 1:06:54Speaker 2: lift you and cause your voice to be heard across
- 1:06:56Speaker 2: the nations. It is not luck mentorsh is the key
- 1:07:01Speaker 2: to stature and transformation is someone learning. That is why
- 1:07:07Speaker 2: when Satan attacks your passion and your desire to come
- 1:07:11Speaker 2: to the House of God, it is a real attack.
- 1:07:15Speaker 5: Hallelujah, because he knows that.
- 1:07:18Speaker 2: Once the seed has been sown, you cannot stop the harvest.
- 1:07:22Speaker 2: The only way to stop the harvest is to stop
- 1:07:24Speaker 2: the seed from getting there in the first place. And
- 1:07:28Speaker 2: if it cannot get you to come to the House
- 1:07:31Speaker 2: of God or stop you from coming to the House
- 1:07:33Speaker 2: of God, the next assignment becomes to turn your heart
- 1:07:36Speaker 2: to a stony ground, so that even if good seed
- 1:07:39Speaker 2: comes upon it, like the parable of the sol the
- 1:07:42Speaker 2: Bible says there that did not produce where those who
- 1:07:46Speaker 2: heard the world they did not understand it, they didn't
- 1:07:49Speaker 2: mix it with faith, and it did not produce anything.
- 1:07:56Speaker 2: But in the name of Jesus, there's someone who is
- 1:07:59Speaker 2: seated here week after week. You may not understand what
- 1:08:03Speaker 2: God is doing in your life. But there is a
- 1:08:05Speaker 2: wonder that is that is evolving. Believe me as you're
- 1:08:09Speaker 2: submitting yourself. Do you know I have met people and
- 1:08:12Speaker 2: have been humbled by their depth of passion and sincerely
- 1:08:17Speaker 2: speaking without exaggeration. As much as I've traveled across the globe,
- 1:08:21Speaker 2: I have seen people and have been humbled by their
- 1:08:25Speaker 2: sense of discipleship. Some of them do not have the
- 1:08:29Speaker 2: privilege to be here directly, but they have made up themselves.
- 1:08:32Speaker 2: They've made up their minds to submit themselves to truth,
- 1:08:36Speaker 2: and you sit with them for five minutes. The excellency
- 1:08:40Speaker 2: of your understanding even challenges you as a man of God.
- 1:08:48Speaker 8: Whatever you want to do, Lord, you can do through me.
- 1:08:58Speaker 8: Whatever you are to say, Lord, you can say through me.
- 1:09:08Speaker 8: Wherever you want to go, Lord, you can go through me.
- 1:09:20Speaker 9: Hemi Jesus Sam, Yes for a love, Hamy.
- 1:09:35Speaker 4: Jesus Sam your for.
- 1:09:40Speaker 2: Can I tell you? The greatest way to say yes
- 1:09:43Speaker 2: to Jesus is not saying yes, is preparing to be
- 1:09:46Speaker 2: used by him. Hear me again, The greatest way to
- 1:09:50Speaker 2: say yes to Jesus is not to fablize yes. You
- 1:09:53Speaker 2: need that when it has to do with salvation, The
- 1:09:56Speaker 2: greatest way to say yes is not to say yes,
- 1:09:59Speaker 2: is to be prepared. If I ask you come to
- 1:10:01Speaker 2: my house and you pick my call and say I
- 1:10:04Speaker 2: am coming and go back to cover yourself with blankets,
- 1:10:07Speaker 2: are you really coming? The greater You may not even
- 1:10:10Speaker 2: answer me, but get up and jump to the bathroom.
- 1:10:13Speaker 2: I say your readiness to come by your preparation. There
- 1:10:16Speaker 2: are many tongue talkers, There are many people. Oh God,
- 1:10:20Speaker 2: use me, But the submission to be trained and to
- 1:10:24Speaker 2: be built, to become that battle acts. There is laxity.
- 1:10:31Speaker 2: And you say, let me tell you an advantage that
- 1:10:33Speaker 2: we have. And I say this God, since my heart
- 1:10:37Speaker 2: is not because I'm the one speaking. If you ever
- 1:10:40Speaker 2: have the opportunity to have a teaching priest that is
- 1:10:43Speaker 2: sounding doctrine and loves you sincerely, go back and lie
- 1:10:48Speaker 2: down our roll before God and say, Lord, thank you
- 1:10:51Speaker 2: for making my journey to knowing you and being used.
- 1:10:54Speaker 5: By you easy.
- 1:10:56Speaker 2: Most people have no understanding. Let me tell you this,
- 1:10:59Speaker 2: and I say it on behalf of every serious man
- 1:11:03Speaker 2: of God. Most people have no idea the labor and
- 1:11:07Speaker 2: the body of being a man of God. Most times
- 1:11:11Speaker 2: we just say maybe protocols from little blessings that come,
- 1:11:15Speaker 2: and especially younger believers, they just admire and that that
- 1:11:20Speaker 2: glamor is fwelling. They're lost. All that is in their
- 1:11:25Speaker 2: mind is the gyp the Man of God entered. All
- 1:11:27Speaker 2: that is in their mind is the whole paraphernalia. These
- 1:11:30Speaker 2: are all support systems. Just to make it easy, let
- 1:11:33Speaker 2: me tell you the labor of the world is real.
- 1:11:36Speaker 2: Label to sit down and get life applicable teachings. I
- 1:11:41Speaker 2: preach an average of two to three salmons every week.
- 1:11:45Speaker 2: I've done this for as long as I know it,
- 1:11:50Speaker 2: under no circumstance, no matter we're traveler around the world.
- 1:11:54Speaker 2: If I will be around on Sunday, I must make
- 1:11:56Speaker 2: sure the message to give God's people is fresh, is
- 1:12:00Speaker 2: ready to be served. That is labor that comes by law. Listen,
- 1:12:05Speaker 2: I'm not just saying this to I hope you. When
- 1:12:08Speaker 2: I teach like this, I get so uncomfortable.
- 1:12:10Speaker 5: It's just that the truth has.
- 1:12:11Speaker 2: To be said. Submitting to the ministry of a teaching
- 1:12:18Speaker 2: priests indeed bringing balance and a holistic capture of the
- 1:12:24Speaker 2: truths that number one help you to know God. Number
- 1:12:27Speaker 2: two help you to understand the Kingdom, and number three
- 1:12:31Speaker 2: help to produce personal excellence in your life, keeping you
- 1:12:35Speaker 2: effective from an eternal standpoint, and excelling within the cosmos.
- 1:12:40Speaker 2: I am telling you it is a blessing. Many believers
- 1:12:45Speaker 2: take for granted, the label that brings truths that build them.
- 1:12:51Speaker 2: You'll be surprised someone who has been failing in business.
- 1:12:54Speaker 2: You just come when a financial series has been taught,
- 1:12:57Speaker 2: and you get one one truth that brings balance to
- 1:13:00Speaker 2: your life. Managing pride, managing anger, managing lost, managing all
- 1:13:05Speaker 2: kinds of things that would destroy you. How about the
- 1:13:09Speaker 2: manifestation of the power of God. Witchcraft and curses and
- 1:13:13Speaker 2: yolks from anywhere to anywhere, and you come together, those
- 1:13:17Speaker 2: spirits join you to church, and yet you leave them
- 1:13:20Speaker 2: behind and go back as a freeman, all kinds of yokes.
- 1:13:25Speaker 2: Of course, for twenty years, I've not found liberty in
- 1:13:28Speaker 2: my life. And God says, go there. I'm the one
- 1:13:31Speaker 2: who is preparing this teaching priests. I know what I
- 1:13:34Speaker 2: put in them. You go and sit down there and
- 1:13:37Speaker 2: watch what happens.
- 1:13:42Speaker 4: Gods letter, But you.
- 1:13:45Speaker 2: See, the goal is not for you to be a
- 1:13:48Speaker 2: member and just keep watching.
- 1:13:50Speaker 4: No, there is a training.
- 1:13:52Speaker 2: Please listen to me. There is an equipping. It is
- 1:13:55Speaker 2: a very painful thing to any man of God if
- 1:13:57Speaker 2: you have been around His church or the spiritual circle
- 1:14:01Speaker 2: for a long time and the evidence of transformation is
- 1:14:04Speaker 2: not in you, even if you are a giver. It
- 1:14:06Speaker 2: is more than money. It is your transformation that I
- 1:14:11Speaker 2: was here. I thought like a child, I understood like
- 1:14:14Speaker 2: a child. Look my spiritual understanding. Now when you are
- 1:14:18Speaker 2: assessed by life across a range of areas, your spiritual life,
- 1:14:23Speaker 2: your understanding about Satan, about God, about life, about challenges,
- 1:14:27Speaker 2: about victory, about success. You have been so fashioned and
- 1:14:31Speaker 2: so framed. Now God can send you to one be
- 1:14:34Speaker 2: a man of God that cry remember when He sent you.
- 1:14:38Speaker 2: You may have commerce and ussher, but your destiny is
- 1:14:41Speaker 2: to be a prophet and apostal to the nations. Mentorship
- 1:14:44Speaker 2: is what evolves you from that cleaner to a mighty man.
- 1:14:50Speaker 2: Men do not rise just because time is passing. Man
- 1:14:53Speaker 2: rise upon the quality of the information, the sound understanding
- 1:14:58Speaker 2: that is being imputed into their space. If you're with me,
- 1:15:01Speaker 2: say amen, and then let me submit to you. And
- 1:15:05Speaker 2: I'm saying disrespectfully. When God grants you access to come
- 1:15:16Speaker 2: across the life of people who genuinely have results respect
- 1:15:20Speaker 2: that atmosphere. Most we live in a world where people
- 1:15:24Speaker 2: downplay results as if it is by it's just lucky. No, no,
- 1:15:30Speaker 2: consistency is proof of mastery. You can have short time
- 1:15:36Speaker 2: results by luck, but you cannot have sustainable results by lock.
- 1:15:41Speaker 2: The Bible says he that strives for mastery is not
- 1:15:43Speaker 2: crowned accept and unless he strives lawfully.
- 1:15:49Speaker 5: Allelujah prays the name of the Lord.
- 1:15:55Speaker 2: So the great commission that Jesus gave us number one again.
- 1:16:00Speaker 2: The first component is world evangelization, reaching the lost. The
- 1:16:04Speaker 2: second is discipleship. Are you ready for the third? The
- 1:16:09Speaker 2: third component of the Greek commission is called territorial or
- 1:16:13Speaker 2: societal transformation. Please write this is the most neglected component
- 1:16:19Speaker 2: of the Greek commission. This is the piece that has
- 1:16:22Speaker 2: not been brought in. It is a tripartite mandate, but
- 1:16:27Speaker 2: most times we have only looked at the world evangelization,
- 1:16:31Speaker 2: or at best included discipleship in a lobsided way. Territorial
- 1:16:38Speaker 2: or societal transformation. What does this mean that the gospel
- 1:16:44Speaker 2: that we bring and propose, as designed in the mind
- 1:16:48Speaker 2: of Jesus, was supposed to penetrate systems and structures that
- 1:16:53Speaker 2: society must feel the impact of the gospel. Any gospel
- 1:16:57Speaker 2: that cannot penetrate and tryransform society is barring of many
- 1:17:04Speaker 2: components of power. Listen. The first area of impact of
- 1:17:09Speaker 2: the Gospel in society I wrote here is impact on
- 1:17:13Speaker 2: the moral fabric of society. Please write it down on
- 1:17:18Speaker 2: that territorial transformation the true gospel. When the church becomes
- 1:17:23Speaker 2: light and the message of the Gospel is really going
- 1:17:26Speaker 2: far backed up by discipleship, it must impact on the
- 1:17:31Speaker 2: moral fabric of society. What does that mean? There has
- 1:17:37Speaker 2: to be a change in the overall expression of the
- 1:17:42Speaker 2: moral fabric of any society. Crime rate should reduce, disobedience
- 1:17:47Speaker 2: should reduce. There are many things that should reduce. Thank
- 1:17:51Speaker 2: God for the prisons, thank God for law enforcement agents.
- 1:17:55Speaker 2: But can I tell you the church is supposed to
- 1:17:58Speaker 2: work in partnership with these law enforcement agents are as
- 1:18:03Speaker 2: diminishing the rise of moral decadence within society. The church
- 1:18:09Speaker 2: is supposed to be the killer and the ground of
- 1:18:11Speaker 2: truth to bring moral decadence to the minimum. But when
- 1:18:16Speaker 2: we have more churches, and as the church is rise,
- 1:18:19Speaker 2: crime is rising. All kinds of things are rising. It
- 1:18:23Speaker 2: may not be that the church is important is that
- 1:18:26Speaker 2: the content of our communication and the efficiency of our
- 1:18:30Speaker 2: weakness is now found wanting. Every time there was a
- 1:18:39Speaker 2: revival and awakening in the Bible, it translated to many
- 1:18:43Speaker 2: other things. When you read Acts nineteen, you will see
- 1:18:47Speaker 2: that people brought their magic books. Am I right on
- 1:18:49Speaker 2: that as a result of the outpouring. The Bible says
- 1:18:52Speaker 2: they brought their magic books. They gathered them together and
- 1:18:56Speaker 2: burnt them. And the Bible tells us the financial worth
- 1:18:59Speaker 2: of it. That is the gospel penetrating society. When Jesus
- 1:19:06Speaker 2: walked upon the earth, he was not just the disciples
- 1:19:09Speaker 2: and seeing us alone that he spoke to, he went
- 1:19:11Speaker 2: to the houses of those who were people of influence,
- 1:19:15Speaker 2: for instance Zachios. His encounter with Zachios saved many people
- 1:19:20Speaker 2: who have been unjustly treated because Zakios became broken and
- 1:19:24Speaker 2: repentant and now used this influence to correct the manipulation
- 1:19:29Speaker 2: and the corruption that he was having. As far as
- 1:19:31Speaker 2: taxes concern, I hear that if society does not feel
- 1:19:41Speaker 2: the impact of the Church, not from a standpoint of
- 1:19:45Speaker 2: fanatism falling and rising only benefits us. Society has no
- 1:19:50Speaker 2: business with that. When the watch believers fall and rise.
- 1:19:53Speaker 2: They're just interested in seeing this superstition like manifestation. It
- 1:19:58Speaker 2: is the transformation that happen in society. Can I tell
- 1:20:01Speaker 2: you the moment your life, respectfully speaking, your ministry and
- 1:20:06Speaker 2: whatever platform begins to directly impart society. You start drawing
- 1:20:11Speaker 2: the attention of certain people and they're not you to
- 1:20:15Speaker 2: be an agent of transformation, and they begin to incorporate
- 1:20:19Speaker 2: too in processes that help to transform society. This is
- 1:20:23Speaker 2: where men become nations. Alle Lujah, men can become nations.
- 1:20:32Speaker 2: I'm reminded of my grades, greatly revered, mentored the Lord.
- 1:20:37Speaker 2: Now he's going to be with the Lord. Doctor Miles Monroe.
- 1:20:40Speaker 2: Asides from being a man of God, he understood this
- 1:20:44Speaker 2: dimension of territorial transformation and he translated on his spiritual
- 1:20:49Speaker 2: understanding to a context. When Nelson Mandela was released from prison,
- 1:20:55Speaker 2: I understand that it was him and one other person
- 1:20:58Speaker 2: that were sent as deli to go and greet him
- 1:21:01Speaker 2: and receive him. These were men who impacted the fabric
- 1:21:05Speaker 2: of society. Man of God, if only the church claps
- 1:21:09Speaker 2: for you, you are not doing well. Society must join
- 1:21:12Speaker 2: the church to say well done. We may not believe
- 1:21:15Speaker 2: in you all, but we respect the fact that there
- 1:21:18Speaker 2: is transformation. They may not call it God, but they
- 1:21:21Speaker 2: should call it transformation. The hospital should see the effect
- 1:21:26Speaker 2: of the gospel, the prisons should see the effect of
- 1:21:29Speaker 2: the gospel. Someone learning this is the mandate that Jesus
- 1:21:38Speaker 2: left the church in Africa is very ineffective as societal
- 1:21:42Speaker 2: transformation is concerned. So the understanding of the average unbeliever
- 1:21:47Speaker 2: about the church in Africa is that we're just a
- 1:21:49Speaker 2: bunch of fanatics who like prayer and like falling down.
- 1:21:53Speaker 2: Occasionally we prophes high and those who seem to be
- 1:21:56Speaker 2: sound have revelation. End of discussion. And so there were
- 1:21:59Speaker 2: sometimes and they are also interested. Wow, come and see
- 1:22:02Speaker 2: people falling down, and it does not translate to anything
- 1:22:05Speaker 2: as far as societal.
- 1:22:06Speaker 5: Transformation is concerned.
- 1:22:08Speaker 2: These are day that turned the world upside down, not
- 1:22:12Speaker 2: just day that preach well, not just day that laid hands.
- 1:22:17Speaker 2: Are we together by the time, say, the Judicial Council
- 1:22:21Speaker 2: of Nigeria comes to meet you as a man of
- 1:22:22Speaker 2: God and as a church that we just came to
- 1:22:25Speaker 2: recognize you because we have found out that all the
- 1:22:27Speaker 2: products that come from this church have been active contributors
- 1:22:31Speaker 2: to reducing crime within a territory. Now that is light.
- 1:22:35Speaker 2: You are the light of the world, not the light
- 1:22:38Speaker 2: of the church. That in the prison they can know
- 1:22:41Speaker 2: your name and the person can say I agree on
- 1:22:44Speaker 2: a sinner. But thank God for this person and that
- 1:22:48Speaker 2: person because you have added joy. I'm so many of
- 1:22:51Speaker 2: you are blessed and inspired by what our School of
- 1:22:53Speaker 2: Ministry students said. You watch the video. We allow them
- 1:22:57Speaker 2: to place those videos their visits to the prisons and
- 1:22:59Speaker 2: the rest to be able to help and see that
- 1:23:02Speaker 2: the concept of ministry is not just preparing for pull
- 1:23:06Speaker 2: pit puor pitch walk only accounts for about thirty percent
- 1:23:09Speaker 2: of ministry. Let your light so shine before men that
- 1:23:15Speaker 2: they may see your good deeds. They will call your
- 1:23:18Speaker 2: life good deeds. You are the only one who knows
- 1:23:20Speaker 2: it is light. As first they are concerned it is
- 1:23:23Speaker 2: good deeds, they will call it. But our bese the
- 1:23:27Speaker 2: Bible says they will glorify.
- 1:23:28Speaker 5: Your father who is in heaven, allelujah.
- 1:23:34Speaker 2: Someone learning territorial transformation. The first area of territorial transformation,
- 1:23:41Speaker 2: I said, is impact on the moral fabric of society.
- 1:23:45Speaker 2: What is the second area, impact on the quality of
- 1:23:49Speaker 2: lives of the people within that territory. Or this is
- 1:23:52Speaker 2: important that if it is the gospel, ladies and gentlemen,
- 1:23:57Speaker 2: it must impact on the quality of life lives of
- 1:24:00Speaker 2: the people. In John chapter ten and Unus ten, Jesus said,
- 1:24:08Speaker 2: the thief comment not brought for to steal, to kill,
- 1:24:11Speaker 2: and to destroy. Please let me have your attention. He says,
- 1:24:14Speaker 2: I am come that he might have life, and that
- 1:24:16Speaker 2: they might have it more abundantly. Is that in your
- 1:24:20Speaker 2: bible Matthew chapter fourteen. Please give us from verse sixteen.
- 1:24:23Speaker 2: Matthew fourteen, give us from verse sixteen. Jesus said, unto them,
- 1:24:29Speaker 2: they need not to depart. This is Jesus. He finished
- 1:24:33Speaker 2: preaching in a crusade, and now he saw several people,
- 1:24:38Speaker 2: But because he was a portrait of the holistic gospel,
- 1:24:42Speaker 2: he paid attention to their needs and their well being.
- 1:24:46Speaker 2: He said, they need not depart. Give them to eat seventeen.
- 1:24:50Speaker 2: How can such a preacher and a miracle walker the
- 1:24:54Speaker 2: embodiment of the gospel, the reason for the gospel, the
- 1:24:58Speaker 2: means of attaining the life of God himself. He showed
- 1:25:02Speaker 2: us that the gospel does not just end in the
- 1:25:04Speaker 2: spiritual health of the believer, that God is concerned about
- 1:25:07Speaker 2: the quality of the well being of believers. This is
- 1:25:11Speaker 2: the balance gospel, the gospel that just influences your spirit
- 1:25:15Speaker 2: money alone, and does not care about the overall quality
- 1:25:19Speaker 2: of your life. There is a problem with that kind
- 1:25:21Speaker 2: of gospel. Let me finish the scripture, please leave it
- 1:25:23Speaker 2: for us. Next verse it says, bring them hither to
- 1:25:28Speaker 2: me five loaf now and two fish.
- 1:25:29Speaker 5: The Bible says verse nineteen.
- 1:25:31Speaker 2: That he commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass.
- 1:25:35Speaker 2: He took the five love two fish, looking up to Heaven,
- 1:25:38Speaker 2: he bless and break, and gave it to his disciples,
- 1:25:42Speaker 2: who were those who shared the welfare. Disciples, the same
- 1:25:48Speaker 2: people he was training to be men of God. That
- 1:25:50Speaker 2: means a man of God has a dimension of him
- 1:25:54Speaker 2: if properly mentored that mosserve and care for people even
- 1:25:58Speaker 2: at their physical needs, to see to it that their
- 1:26:01Speaker 2: lives become qualitative while they know God and serve God
- 1:26:05Speaker 2: is a balanced view of the gospel. There are people
- 1:26:09Speaker 2: who are erroneously taught that the Gospel does not have
- 1:26:12Speaker 2: a place in the overall wellbeing of people. I disagree.
- 1:26:16Speaker 2: Jesus has demonstrated from scripture the Gospel captures the tripartite
- 1:26:21Speaker 2: nature of man, spirit, soul, body. The quality of your
- 1:26:26Speaker 2: life should be improved because you are a child of God.
- 1:26:30Speaker 2: Now it is true that the ultimate posit of the
- 1:26:33Speaker 2: believer is not for things, and unfortunately the gospel of
- 1:26:37Speaker 2: materialism has had its fair share of destruction in the
- 1:26:41Speaker 2: body of Christ. Thank God for the transformations that are ongoing.
- 1:26:44Speaker 2: But the truth still remains that the gospel that does
- 1:26:48Speaker 2: not affect the quality of living over people. There is
- 1:26:51Speaker 2: something incomplete with that message. Jesus said, I am come
- 1:26:55Speaker 2: that ye may have life, and to have it more abundantly.
- 1:27:00Speaker 2: When Jesus so hungry people, he contributed to making their
- 1:27:03Speaker 2: lives better. Jesus taught on finances.
- 1:27:06Speaker 5: Is that not in your bible?
- 1:27:07Speaker 2: Jesus taught on demons, Jesus taught on himself. Jesus taught
- 1:27:11Speaker 2: on the Father. The gospel, being holistic, most capture every
- 1:27:16Speaker 2: dimension of men's lives. It must have an impact on
- 1:27:20Speaker 2: the quality of the lives of the people within a territory.
- 1:27:24Speaker 2: Nobody should sit down under a preacher listening to the gospel,
- 1:27:28Speaker 2: being mentored and discipled, and then eventually cannot take care
- 1:27:32Speaker 2: of his wife or children. Lives a poor and a
- 1:27:35Speaker 2: miserable life, not connected to purpose, not finding meaning for
- 1:27:39Speaker 2: his life. There is something wrong with that kind of mentorship.
- 1:27:42Speaker 2: When God comes, he elevates everything about your life, and
- 1:27:46Speaker 2: that includes the quality of your living.
- 1:27:48Speaker 5: You believe that should amen, I was not like this
- 1:27:54Speaker 5: when I started with God.
- 1:27:55Speaker 2: I have never been motivated by money or motivated by self.
- 1:28:01Speaker 2: You know, natural things. But I'll be lying today to
- 1:28:04Speaker 2: say God does not blessed me while I preach the gospel,
- 1:28:06Speaker 2: and it to be wicked of me. If I have
- 1:28:08Speaker 2: benefited oristically from preaching the gospel, I must extend the
- 1:28:12Speaker 2: same to everybody. Am I right on that? When I
- 1:28:15Speaker 2: started preaching the gospel there were privileges. I did not
- 1:28:19Speaker 2: have the quality of my life today as a result
- 1:28:22Speaker 2: of being a laborer, inasmuch as my passion has not changed,
- 1:28:26Speaker 2: that's only gone from glory to glory.
- 1:28:28Speaker 4: God.
- 1:28:28Speaker 2: In communicating that gospel, make sure that your life also
- 1:28:34Speaker 2: benefits from it. Why then will I teach you and
- 1:28:36Speaker 2: focus on your spiritual life and ignore other aspects of
- 1:28:39Speaker 2: your life. It took me driving a car to come
- 1:28:43Speaker 2: to church here? Is that true? That means while the
- 1:28:46Speaker 2: focus is not on you buying a car and buying
- 1:28:49Speaker 2: a house. Eventually, as you serve his purposes and love him,
- 1:28:53Speaker 2: his benevolence extends that far to reach to the nitty gritty.
- 1:28:57Speaker 2: Did the Bible not say even the hell on your
- 1:28:59Speaker 2: head is numbad He knows my name, he knows my.
- 1:29:16Speaker 10: We thought, he sees HD the force, and he's me.
- 1:29:27Speaker 4: Well, listen to me.
- 1:29:34Speaker 2: It is true that you can prospers. We call prosperity
- 1:29:37Speaker 2: material prosperity without Jesus. But there is something Jesus brings
- 1:29:42Speaker 2: to a life that only him can give you that
- 1:29:46Speaker 2: kind of prosperity. Ladies and gentlemen, The Gospel is not
- 1:29:50Speaker 2: limited to knowing Jesus alone. The Gospel also includes and
- 1:29:55Speaker 2: joined the benefits that comes from knowing the Lord. Let
- 1:29:57Speaker 2: me show you one scription. It says, Bless the Lord,
- 1:30:01Speaker 2: oh my soul. That should be some one hundred and three.
- 1:30:07Speaker 2: Please give it to words. There are five benefits that
- 1:30:10Speaker 2: the Lord brings to men. Bless the Lord, oh my soul,
- 1:30:14Speaker 2: and all that is within me. Please listen and learn.
- 1:30:17Speaker 2: Bless his holy name. Verse two, Bless the Lord, oh
- 1:30:21Speaker 2: my soul, and forget not whose benefits? Everybody says all
- 1:30:27Speaker 2: his benefits one more time, say all his benefits. There
- 1:30:32Speaker 2: are benefits that God gives people by reason of knowing him,
- 1:30:37Speaker 2: loving him, serving him, living for him. That is never
- 1:30:42Speaker 2: the motivation for loving him. But these are consolations that
- 1:30:46Speaker 2: come with loving him. Are you ready five of them?
- 1:30:49Speaker 5: Never forget verse three?
- 1:30:52Speaker 2: Number one, who forgiveth all their iniquities the salvation of
- 1:30:58Speaker 2: your soul receiving it turn of redemption.
- 1:31:01Speaker 5: Truth is blood that she first of all benefits, but
- 1:31:04Speaker 5: not the only one.
- 1:31:05Speaker 2: Benefit Number two, who he let all thy diseases?
- 1:31:09Speaker 5: Is that in your Bible?
- 1:31:11Speaker 2: Benefit Number three, who redeemed thy life from destruction, deliverance
- 1:31:17Speaker 2: and preservation. Benefit Number four, who crowned thee with loving
- 1:31:23Speaker 2: kindness and tender messes honor is a benefit. And then
- 1:31:27Speaker 2: finally read this one. If you're a Christian, ready you
- 1:31:30Speaker 2: want to read who satisfy? Stop? What part of your
- 1:31:34Speaker 2: body does this satisfy?
- 1:31:37Speaker 4: Ah?
- 1:31:37Speaker 2: Who satisfied thy mouth with good things? So that on
- 1:31:42Speaker 2: account of the efficiency of your life, your youth is
- 1:31:46Speaker 2: renewed like that of an eagle. This one. That renewal
- 1:31:51Speaker 2: of your life is directly tied to what enters your mouth.
- 1:31:57Speaker 2: If nothing enters your mouth, something will happen to your youth,
- 1:32:01Speaker 2: and something will happen to your vitality. The quality of
- 1:32:04Speaker 2: your life is also incorporated in the Gospel. Please find
- 1:32:08Speaker 2: a way of believing this. I have vowed under God
- 1:32:12Speaker 2: that I will never by God raise the people who
- 1:32:14Speaker 2: are just spiritually vibrant and then be careless about all
- 1:32:19Speaker 2: the aspects of your life. I'm a man of God
- 1:32:21Speaker 2: who will be very intentional and vocal as much as
- 1:32:25Speaker 2: God grants grace in communicating the old counsel of God,
- 1:32:30Speaker 2: as it leads to the overall excelling of believers. We
- 1:32:33Speaker 2: should never have workers, for instance in Chorenonia, who are
- 1:32:37Speaker 2: having the children not go to school, and it does
- 1:32:40Speaker 2: not matter. All you are doing is being a good worker.
- 1:32:43Speaker 2: That will be hypocrisy when your lives are improved. Listen,
- 1:32:48Speaker 2: do you know the church as an institution? The church
- 1:32:53Speaker 2: as a corporate institution. There is no nation I know,
- 1:32:57Speaker 2: maybe aside from the Vatican, there is no nation as
- 1:33:01Speaker 2: a church of believers that is an institution on its own.
- 1:33:05Speaker 2: From a governmental standpoint, there are non Christian nations and
- 1:33:10Speaker 2: platforms that they have. They have they literally control the
- 1:33:14Speaker 2: economy and it is directly to is directed to serve
- 1:33:18Speaker 2: whatever course they stands for. There is no such thing
- 1:33:21Speaker 2: like that in the church. So the church largely depends
- 1:33:25Speaker 2: on the excelling of the membership and their benevolence as
- 1:33:29Speaker 2: it comes to the treasury. Am I right on that?
- 1:33:31Speaker 2: That means when there are people who are incapacitated, there
- 1:33:35Speaker 2: is so much that cannot be done by the church,
- 1:33:38Speaker 2: and then the few who may be empowered to do it.
- 1:33:41Speaker 2: If you are not careful and you become a beggar
- 1:33:43Speaker 2: to too many people, they will erode the purity of
- 1:33:47Speaker 2: your message using the portage of skill that they give
- 1:33:50Speaker 2: you to it are we together? There are many people
- 1:33:56Speaker 2: who are poor and helpless in church, bankrupt of influence,
- 1:34:00Speaker 2: and yet we act as if it is not an
- 1:34:01Speaker 2: issue the gospel. If it is Jesus you are teaching,
- 1:34:05Speaker 2: who is an epitome of love, and it's in the
- 1:34:07Speaker 2: character of love to give, then it means the first
- 1:34:10Speaker 2: thing that should happen to me is that my heart
- 1:34:13Speaker 2: should be so purified that money and material and mundane
- 1:34:17Speaker 2: things should never take his place. However, while I focus
- 1:34:21Speaker 2: on Jim, he does not leave my needs attended or
- 1:34:24Speaker 2: attended to. Eventually, my life should be a holistic capture
- 1:34:28Speaker 2: of the goodness of God. Is it not In your
- 1:34:30Speaker 2: Bible it says old taste and see not just that
- 1:34:34Speaker 2: the Lord is savior, that the Lord is cool? Are
- 1:34:42Speaker 2: you learning the great commission? Growing up, I saw many
- 1:34:48Speaker 2: missionaries and respectfully speaking with all due respect and honor
- 1:34:53Speaker 2: to all who are in the mission field. Today most
- 1:34:56Speaker 2: people have Do you know why evangelism is almost a
- 1:34:59Speaker 2: psychologic threats to many people because of the condition of
- 1:35:03Speaker 2: those who answered the call. They answer the call almost
- 1:35:06Speaker 2: to their pain. Right now, you go and meet a
- 1:35:09Speaker 2: young lady somewhere and say, I want to marry you.
- 1:35:12Speaker 2: I want to go and see your parents. And let
- 1:35:13Speaker 2: me tell you, God has called me to go to
- 1:35:15Speaker 2: the fine yard. As soon as we marry well on
- 1:35:17Speaker 2: our way to Iraq and the rest, and the Father
- 1:35:19Speaker 2: looks at you us say so, this is how you
- 1:35:21Speaker 2: plan to reward me for labor it or much. It
- 1:35:23Speaker 2: doesn't mean that they don't love Jesus. That the gospel
- 1:35:30Speaker 2: we have brought a context of the Gospel that seems
- 1:35:33Speaker 2: to be unattentive to the quality of the lives of people. Now,
- 1:35:38Speaker 2: when you're pursued becomes ultimately an all materialism. I'm coming
- 1:35:44Speaker 2: to Jesus because of a car, a house. I'm coming
- 1:35:47Speaker 2: to Jesus because of a husband, a wife, because of promotion.
- 1:35:51Speaker 2: Now something is wrong because your priority has been misplaced.
- 1:35:54Speaker 2: While it is true that he does all of that,
- 1:35:57Speaker 2: he wants your heart to love him, to serve him,
- 1:36:00Speaker 2: to be lifted above every other God, the God of materialism,
- 1:36:04Speaker 2: the God of gold. Are we together now, Yes.
- 1:36:08Speaker 5: This is what needs to be balanced.
- 1:36:12Speaker 2: The overall quality of the lives of God's people. Now,
- 1:36:16Speaker 2: please listen. There are two ministries that are being seriously
- 1:36:22Speaker 2: threatened in the Body of Christ, and there needs to
- 1:36:27Speaker 2: be cautioned and balanced. There. There are two ministries that
- 1:36:31Speaker 2: are being threatened. Number one is the prophetic ministry. Number
- 1:36:36Speaker 2: two is the ministry that has to do with transformation
- 1:36:40Speaker 2: and empowerment, even financial empowerment. We must be careful in
- 1:36:44Speaker 2: attempting to purify the Body of Christ. There are two
- 1:36:47Speaker 2: ministries who are fighting, and we're going to regret it
- 1:36:50Speaker 2: because these two ministries are the ministry that played the
- 1:36:54Speaker 2: greatest role in bringing the gospel, The ministry of the
- 1:36:58Speaker 2: prophetic why the Gods who worked, and the ministry of
- 1:37:02Speaker 2: Kingdom Financing are we together.
- 1:37:05Speaker 5: Now, I'm just digressing to place.
- 1:37:07Speaker 2: There are many believers today who because of the imbalances
- 1:37:11Speaker 2: around the prophetic unfortunately, which we have identified, and we
- 1:37:16Speaker 2: know that God is working on across Nigeria across Africa.
- 1:37:20Speaker 2: There have been many issues here and there. There are
- 1:37:22Speaker 2: two major issues with the prophetic that is now being corrected.
- 1:37:26Speaker 2: Number one is the absence of genuine consecration. So over
- 1:37:30Speaker 2: the years there's been a lot of carelessness and seriousness
- 1:37:33Speaker 2: around the prophetic simply because of the abundance and the
- 1:37:37Speaker 2: charismatism around the gift.
- 1:37:39Speaker 5: I'm just teaching you this for your knowledge.
- 1:37:42Speaker 2: Number two has been the purity and the word compliancy
- 1:37:47Speaker 2: of the practices. Many of the practices around the prophetic
- 1:37:51Speaker 2: circles are largely extra biblical. And there's no time. One day,
- 1:37:56Speaker 2: I hope I'll have the time to teach you on
- 1:37:57Speaker 2: the prophetic and the apostolic ministry. The very nature of
- 1:38:01Speaker 2: the prophetic ministry is controversial. All the controversial manifestations of
- 1:38:07Speaker 2: Jesus in the Bible when he switched prophetic.
- 1:38:11Speaker 5: Are we together?
- 1:38:12Speaker 2: So there is already a natural propensity of being in
- 1:38:18Speaker 2: a place of where you can provide erround confusion. That
- 1:38:22Speaker 2: is the reason why a true prophet must balance it
- 1:38:25Speaker 2: by being sound in scripture. This has been the greatest
- 1:38:28Speaker 2: mistake of the prophetic over the years. Absence of consecration,
- 1:38:34Speaker 2: carelessness around the altar, and then number two principles and
- 1:38:38Speaker 2: practices that in many regards are very disdaining.
- 1:38:41Speaker 5: And completely antichrist.
- 1:38:44Speaker 2: But that does not mean the prophetic as a ministry
- 1:38:46Speaker 2: should be thrown away just because we're trying to purify it.
- 1:38:50Speaker 2: In my opinion, and respectfully speaking, even though I'm teaching
- 1:38:53Speaker 2: on the Great Commission, the greater problem that needs to manage,
- 1:38:57Speaker 2: to be managed, is what is brewing right now the
- 1:39:00Speaker 2: guns of the Apostolic ministry. This will cause more danger
- 1:39:05Speaker 2: than the disaster of the prophetic ministry, because naturally and
- 1:39:10Speaker 2: by apostle, I don't mean whether your name is apostle.
- 1:39:12Speaker 5: Joshua said, no, no, no, that's.
- 1:39:13Speaker 2: Not the idea. The Apostolic ministry generally all through scripture
- 1:39:19Speaker 2: Paul Peter Modern history, the Apostolic ministry generally comes with
- 1:39:24Speaker 2: a sense of pride and a sense of superiority, are
- 1:39:28Speaker 2: both other ministries. It is a natural weakness that comes
- 1:39:32Speaker 2: with the Apostolic ministry when you see it through apostle
- 1:39:35Speaker 2: of the Lorgesus Christ, who is humble. It didn't come
- 1:39:38Speaker 2: by default. It is a product of the dealing of
- 1:39:40Speaker 2: the Holy Spirit. Now, the apostolic ministry needs to be
- 1:39:44Speaker 2: careful as we manage and deal with the matters that
- 1:39:48Speaker 2: have to do with the prophetic ministry, because it was
- 1:39:51Speaker 2: through the prophetic ministry that apostles were even born in
- 1:39:54Speaker 2: the first place. You see that, And we have to
- 1:39:58Speaker 2: be careful. They are right now whose lives cannot be
- 1:40:02Speaker 2: changed because of the prophetic ministry, because it looks like
- 1:40:04Speaker 2: they've been squeeze. We are trying to do what Jezebel
- 1:40:07Speaker 2: did to the prophets. We need to be careful. Allelujah.
- 1:40:11Speaker 2: There were prophets who were under the custody of Elijah
- 1:40:15Speaker 2: who were in hiding because of a threat that came
- 1:40:17Speaker 2: to them. Now there are many young men who are
- 1:40:20Speaker 2: genuine prophetic calls. But because of the overall image of
- 1:40:24Speaker 2: the prophetic, the prophetic is a great blessing. It remains
- 1:40:28Speaker 2: an eternal blessing. What we need to do is to pray,
- 1:40:32Speaker 2: and I'm saying this on I'm saying this respectfully. Let's
- 1:40:35Speaker 2: pray for all our colleagues and brothers and sisters across
- 1:40:38Speaker 2: the world, those who have been given to compromise and
- 1:40:42Speaker 2: the bankruptcy of consecration. Provided Jesus has not come, there
- 1:40:46Speaker 2: is still room for renewal and transformation and repentance and
- 1:40:51Speaker 2: then to react examining prophetic practices in light of scriptural strategies.
- 1:40:56Speaker 2: These are the things that need to be corrected. But
- 1:40:59Speaker 2: while that is happening, the apostolic ministry needs to quickly
- 1:41:03Speaker 2: go back to the threasing flaw and start repenting from pride,
- 1:41:06Speaker 2: because when we are done dealing with the prophetic ministry
- 1:41:09Speaker 2: will find out that the pride and the imbalances false
- 1:41:13Speaker 2: teaching is worse than false prophecy. You see, I can
- 1:41:19Speaker 2: profess sign to you falsely and you can know the
- 1:41:21Speaker 2: truth in one moment. But when I build you around
- 1:41:24Speaker 2: an error, I have carved you on stony to take
- 1:41:27Speaker 2: God away together. Now, it's not easy to transfer false prophecy,
- 1:41:32Speaker 2: but you can transfer imbalance. You can transfer false teaching.
- 1:41:35Speaker 2: So there is a bigger problem across the Nigerian and
- 1:41:38Speaker 2: African soil, and that is there has to be a
- 1:41:41Speaker 2: restoration of doctrine. Step one need to admit that the
- 1:41:44Speaker 2: best of us does not know everything, and then to
- 1:41:47Speaker 2: know that God has only committed dimensions to us. We
- 1:41:51Speaker 2: are mandated by God to be effective within the dimension
- 1:41:55Speaker 2: given to us, while appreciating the other supplies in the
- 1:41:58Speaker 2: body which in routs the prophetic ministry, and then to
- 1:42:02Speaker 2: be on our knees praying for the overall health of
- 1:42:05Speaker 2: the Church. An attack on the prophetic is an attack
- 1:42:08Speaker 2: on the church. An attack on the apostolic is an
- 1:42:11Speaker 2: attack on the church. Rejoicing over the downfall of others
- 1:42:16Speaker 2: is going to be a catastrophe to our life because
- 1:42:19Speaker 2: when there are no profits, it will hinder the manifestation
- 1:42:22Speaker 2: of the program of God in many ways.
- 1:42:24Speaker 5: Are we together now?
- 1:42:26Speaker 2: Yes? So this I just thought to bring this in
- 1:42:29Speaker 2: because there is a many people who are called to
- 1:42:33Speaker 2: empower the church, even financially. We have pushed them out
- 1:42:37Speaker 2: of the scene and with all their ideas and their
- 1:42:40Speaker 2: wisdom bilooneas and millionnaires, and now the church is looking
- 1:42:44Speaker 2: for money and our bank because we have ignored those ministries,
- 1:42:48Speaker 2: is now beginning to push us in compromise. Some of
- 1:42:50Speaker 2: them came with Some of them are veterans in business,
- 1:42:54Speaker 2: veterans in economy, and they brought their hands sincerely to
- 1:42:57Speaker 2: serve the body. Like any of the minutes will have
- 1:43:00Speaker 2: their error. Everybody listen. Everybody is a fanatic to his
- 1:43:05Speaker 2: area of call. So when you find people emphasizing an
- 1:43:08Speaker 2: area above another, it is simply the fire that comes
- 1:43:13Speaker 2: with the bias of your call. If I've been called
- 1:43:16Speaker 2: to lead you in prayer, I will teach you prayers
- 1:43:19Speaker 2: if there is nothing else to do. If I've been
- 1:43:21Speaker 2: called to empower you financially, I will teach you financis
- 1:43:24Speaker 2: as if there's nothing else to do. It is simply
- 1:43:27Speaker 2: the fanatism that comes with the call. But that does
- 1:43:31Speaker 2: not mean that we should throw away many people. There
- 1:43:34Speaker 2: are many believers now, many churches, now, many circles now.
- 1:43:39Speaker 2: Their number one prayer point is finance, many projects to do.
- 1:43:43Speaker 2: But those that God has empower to come and serve
- 1:43:46Speaker 2: the body, we are pushing them away in a bit
- 1:43:50Speaker 2: to try to clean the church. It is a mistake.
- 1:43:52Speaker 2: There is a refree. A man who is playing football
- 1:43:55Speaker 2: cannot assess other footballers. There are people outside the field
- 1:43:59Speaker 2: who assess everyone. The Bible says, let him that things
- 1:44:03Speaker 2: it stands take heed less he falls. Are we learning
- 1:44:06Speaker 2: now I'm saying this because there is a generation that
- 1:44:10Speaker 2: is learning anything they find, and that generation is going
- 1:44:13Speaker 2: to be a disaster if balance is not brought to
- 1:44:16Speaker 2: your life. What true Lucifer from heaven was not lost?
- 1:44:22Speaker 2: It was pride that translated to treason. God himself opposes pride.
- 1:44:28Speaker 2: We have to be able to manage people and when
- 1:44:31Speaker 2: we observe wrongs within the body of Christ, we must
- 1:44:35Speaker 2: communicate the truth in love. I repeat the truth in love.
- 1:44:41Speaker 2: Once the truth is outside of love, there is a
- 1:44:43Speaker 2: serious problem. Now I have sensed in my spirit that
- 1:44:48Speaker 2: there is trouble within the spiritual climate of Nigeria, Africa
- 1:44:52Speaker 2: and across the globe. We have insulted the West and
- 1:44:56Speaker 2: made it look like they're all called. They're not serious.
- 1:45:00Speaker 2: We have no idea some of the moves of God
- 1:45:03Speaker 2: that are still being preserved. I have met people across
- 1:45:06Speaker 2: the world, Europe, the US. I am telling you their
- 1:45:09Speaker 2: spiritual fire and vibrancy and consecration. Some of us do
- 1:45:13Speaker 2: not come close into it. God is everywhere still with witnesses,
- 1:45:17Speaker 2: is raising. We need to be careful Nigeria. Our arrogance
- 1:45:22Speaker 2: may pegg us and have bought something prophetic that God
- 1:45:25Speaker 2: is giving us the grace just because in this season
- 1:45:28Speaker 2: God has put the lamp on Nigeria. We must not
- 1:45:32Speaker 2: make the mistakes that has happened in the history of.
- 1:45:34Speaker 5: The Nigerian Church.
- 1:45:35Speaker 2: We must approach this mission God has given us with
- 1:45:38Speaker 2: profound humility, or the wise our bishopric wuld be taken
- 1:45:42Speaker 2: and given to a least nation that may not seem
- 1:45:46Speaker 2: to represent the purposes of God. And God will raise
- 1:45:49Speaker 2: mighty men and women. I'm saying this because the pride
- 1:45:52Speaker 2: that is around believers, especially the Nigerian and the African Church.
- 1:45:56Speaker 2: We need to be careful, beginning from myself, all of
- 1:45:59Speaker 2: us them. When you are discussing this is a message
- 1:46:02Speaker 2: from God to everybody, from the rising enough after the
- 1:46:08Speaker 2: sun to the certain half the same Your name as
- 1:46:25Speaker 2: anointed as we are. When we're sick and we pray
- 1:46:29Speaker 2: and nothing happens, we run to the hospital. If we
- 1:46:33Speaker 2: destroy the ministry of the hospital simply because the healing
- 1:46:36Speaker 2: annointing is there, the day you are annointing cannot raise
- 1:46:39Speaker 2: the sea. There will be many people. Many people today
- 1:46:42Speaker 2: have died who are not supposed to have died because
- 1:46:45Speaker 2: the kind of teaching that came down played the hospitals
- 1:46:49Speaker 2: in an attempt to describe the superiority of God's power.
- 1:46:53Speaker 2: I work in science and wonders, he said, grace that
- 1:46:55Speaker 2: God has given. But we have a medical team, irresponsible
- 1:46:59Speaker 2: and professional non medical team. Are we together? I have
- 1:47:02Speaker 2: prayed for people that have given them money to go
- 1:47:04Speaker 2: to the hospital. I have gone to hospitals to visit
- 1:47:07Speaker 2: people myself and to pray for them there. And I
- 1:47:11Speaker 2: don't do it with any sense of shame or whatever
- 1:47:13Speaker 2: it is. If we don't repent from some of these forcehood,
- 1:47:16Speaker 2: life would be disgracing us one by one because of
- 1:47:18Speaker 2: the imbalances that come from us. The earlier we admit this,
- 1:47:23Speaker 2: the better for us, because the days that are coming,
- 1:47:26Speaker 2: we'll expose our limitations in ways that will bring shame
- 1:47:29Speaker 2: to us. A man of God is called to teach
- 1:47:32Speaker 2: truth as revealed to him by God, whilst respecting other
- 1:47:36Speaker 2: supplies that are within the body. I emphasize again the
- 1:47:40Speaker 2: prophetic deserves an eternal honor. It should be corrected, it
- 1:47:45Speaker 2: should be balanced, and we are praying, we continue to
- 1:47:48Speaker 2: pray that out of the ashes of lack of concentration,
- 1:47:53Speaker 2: consecration and all kinds of wrong, extra biblical practices, that
- 1:47:57Speaker 2: God himself will work upon the heart of those called
- 1:48:00Speaker 2: into the prophetic ministry to become a portrait of authentic
- 1:48:04Speaker 2: prophetic ministry. But we who God has called into the
- 1:48:08Speaker 2: apostolic especially, we must manage our over confidence with pride.
- 1:48:14Speaker 2: You see, let me tell you the bit of my
- 1:48:17Speaker 2: work with the fathers of faith in this nation has
- 1:48:19Speaker 2: taught me something. There are many things the fathers see,
- 1:48:23Speaker 2: and you see them cheap quiet. They only talk when
- 1:48:25Speaker 2: they're in the place of prayer. Let us learn there
- 1:48:28Speaker 2: is something they know that we do not know. I
- 1:48:31Speaker 2: repeat to you the Bible says, he that thinkt he stands,
- 1:48:36Speaker 2: let him take heed less he falls. If Jesus, as
- 1:48:41Speaker 2: the Son of God, almost failing, gets so many, then
- 1:48:44Speaker 2: we need to be careful our over confidence, who only
- 1:48:48Speaker 2: gives Satan.
- 1:48:48Speaker 5: Room to disgrace us.
- 1:48:50Speaker 2: There is an approach to ministry which humility of heart,
- 1:48:54Speaker 2: as by people who have been helped by God, and
- 1:48:58Speaker 2: that must be the template we approach people. The Bible said,
- 1:49:01Speaker 2: Blessed said at the mercyful, for they shall obtain mercy.
- 1:49:06Speaker 2: Are we together? Yes, I've met a few people in
- 1:49:10Speaker 2: my life, and sometimes when I see those people. They
- 1:49:12Speaker 2: want to run away from me because it looks like, oh,
- 1:49:14Speaker 2: there's there's a stigma. Maybe they think I will insult
- 1:49:18Speaker 2: them and this, And sometimes I draw them and say
- 1:49:19Speaker 2: how are you? This? And that? May God bless you
- 1:49:22Speaker 2: if you ever give room to listen. Okay, you may
- 1:49:24Speaker 2: need to adjust this, Just adjust this one, adjust this.
- 1:49:27Speaker 2: Who are praying for you? And that's it. But we
- 1:49:30Speaker 2: need to be careful, especially the generation that is looking
- 1:49:34Speaker 2: up to our lives, those ones that have not even started.
- 1:49:37Speaker 2: You see what the devil is already doing with them.
- 1:49:40Speaker 2: The church is called to pray. We pray for one
- 1:49:42Speaker 2: another so that in an attempt to fix a pipe,
- 1:49:47Speaker 2: we don't close it down. How did I get here?
- 1:49:55Speaker 2: The quality of your life, that's what brought me. I
- 1:50:00Speaker 2: think God wanted me to say this alle lujah. So
- 1:50:04Speaker 2: believe us learn. It doesn't matter what church would belong to.
- 1:50:08Speaker 2: Respect the prophetic, respect, the apostolic respect, the pastoral respect,
- 1:50:14Speaker 2: the evangelistic.
- 1:50:15Speaker 5: Are we together?
- 1:50:16Speaker 2: Respect the ministry of the teacher, respect elders. Now forever,
- 1:50:22Speaker 2: for as long as Jesus remains, we will keep seeing
- 1:50:25Speaker 2: all kinds of errors and mistakes that require correction, and
- 1:50:30Speaker 2: as much as God Grahams grace will do so in
- 1:50:33Speaker 2: love while watching our own lives. Let me tell you
- 1:50:36Speaker 2: the truth the correction that has come to the Apostolic
- 1:50:39Speaker 2: prophetic ministry, maybe in the last three to five years.
- 1:50:42Speaker 2: I truly believe it's the will of God. But we
- 1:50:44Speaker 2: must know when it has come to an end. Let
- 1:50:46Speaker 2: me show you a scripture God should me? Can I
- 1:50:48Speaker 2: show you Psalm seventy.
- 1:50:50Speaker 5: Six and verse ten.
- 1:50:51Speaker 2: Give it to us. Let's read it, and then I'll
- 1:50:53Speaker 2: finish my teaching one two read. Surely the wrath of
- 1:50:58Speaker 2: man shall praise the the remainder of the wrath, shall
- 1:51:03Speaker 2: thou restraint? Keep that scripture there there is a way
- 1:51:06Speaker 2: the anger of man can bring praise to God. That
- 1:51:10Speaker 2: is what has happened. It is the anger that God
- 1:51:13Speaker 2: has planted in the hearts of many people across the
- 1:51:15Speaker 2: body of Christ, that has helped to wake people suddenly.
- 1:51:19Speaker 2: You see that it has awoken people to doctrine. It
- 1:51:22Speaker 2: has awoken people to consecration, It has awoken people to curity,
- 1:51:26Speaker 2: awoken people to prayer, and woken people to all kinds
- 1:51:30Speaker 2: of things. There is an anger that God himself allowed
- 1:51:34Speaker 2: in the hearts of man that has brought praise to
- 1:51:36Speaker 2: the Lord. But the remaining of that anger, God is
- 1:51:39Speaker 2: now restraining it. He is saying, it is enough. The
- 1:51:41Speaker 2: mission of that anger has been fulfilled. If you continue,
- 1:51:44Speaker 2: you are working in the flesh. The wrath of man
- 1:51:47Speaker 2: shall praise thee. But the remainder of that wrath shall
- 1:51:52Speaker 2: thou restraint. The purpose of the wrath is to bring
- 1:51:55Speaker 2: an awakening to those who are sleeping. But when that
- 1:51:58Speaker 2: awakening has happened, then there must be grace. He says.
- 1:52:02Speaker 2: In your anger, do not sing, Do not let the
- 1:52:05Speaker 2: sun go down. There is timing to it. While you
- 1:52:08Speaker 2: are still angry with somebody learning? Are you learning?
- 1:52:13Speaker 5: This is very important?
- 1:52:15Speaker 2: So don't go around pointing hands at people and be
- 1:52:18Speaker 2: a George and say this one that's not your business.
- 1:52:21Speaker 2: We must be at our knees pray. Anybody who God
- 1:52:25Speaker 2: exposes an opportunity for transformation, for repentance and change, and
- 1:52:30Speaker 2: he plays with God. In God's intelligence, there is a
- 1:52:33Speaker 2: system already within the economy of God where judgment is
- 1:52:38Speaker 2: metted upon stobborn. Hearts leave that to God. It is
- 1:52:41Speaker 2: his business. Are we together now? Yes? In the Bible,
- 1:52:45Speaker 2: there have been all repentance people we're in the presence
- 1:52:49Speaker 2: of correction by the spirit. True men, they did not listen.
- 1:52:52Speaker 2: God has a system of bringing them to His righteous judgment.
- 1:52:56Speaker 2: But as far as we are concerned, the ministry of
- 1:52:59Speaker 2: truth in love, backed up with a genuine heart of
- 1:53:03Speaker 2: prayer and passion for the Body of Christ remains the
- 1:53:06Speaker 2: end time secret for survivor. As a man of God.
- 1:53:10Speaker 2: You will never hear me open my mouth.
- 1:53:12Speaker 5: To criticize a church, to criticize.
- 1:53:15Speaker 2: Another man of God, And far be it from me
- 1:53:17Speaker 2: to criticize the fathers of faith. There are fathers, no
- 1:53:21Speaker 2: matter what they do. Your own is to pray. Their
- 1:53:24Speaker 2: age and their track record has shot your mouth forever.
- 1:53:27Speaker 2: The only person who can really talk to.
- 1:53:29Speaker 5: Them is God.
- 1:53:32Speaker 2: Are we together? Yes, these are protocols in the Body
- 1:53:37Speaker 2: of Christ that most people do not understand. For this
- 1:53:46Speaker 2: cost many a week. For this cost, many are sick.
- 1:53:50Speaker 2: For this cost, many do sleep. But to wrap up
- 1:53:54Speaker 2: my message, I was talking about the Gospel impacting the
- 1:53:57Speaker 2: quality of your life. How many of you truly want
- 1:54:00Speaker 2: to know God with all your heart? How many of
- 1:54:04Speaker 2: you truly want to be transformed? How many of you
- 1:54:08Speaker 2: want to be able to take care of your families
- 1:54:10Speaker 2: and children truly without thinking twice. How many of you
- 1:54:14Speaker 2: want to be able to give to the program of
- 1:54:16Speaker 2: God without thinking twice? How many of you want to
- 1:54:19Speaker 2: live to post full lives?
- 1:54:21Speaker 5: That is what the Gospel was designed to do.
- 1:54:24Speaker 2: So in receiving the Gospel, do not received, Do not
- 1:54:28Speaker 2: reject the welfare package that comes with the gospel. God
- 1:54:32Speaker 2: wants to attend to your needs, and once you have
- 1:54:36Speaker 2: your priorities in place, do not reject it. Allelujah, there
- 1:54:43Speaker 2: is food on my table at home. That's why I
- 1:54:46Speaker 2: can't shout and preach. Even if I first, I can
- 1:54:49Speaker 2: shout because I love God, but with a consolation that
- 1:54:52Speaker 2: there is something on my table, I want to make
- 1:54:54Speaker 2: sure your table also has something there.
- 1:55:07Speaker 5: So the gospel.
- 1:55:11Speaker 2: The third dimension of the Gospel is territorial or societal transformation.
- 1:55:17Speaker 2: And I told you the Gospel most impact on the
- 1:55:20Speaker 2: moral fabric of society. The Gospel most impact on the
- 1:55:24Speaker 2: quality of lives of the people within that territory, giving
- 1:55:28Speaker 2: them a sense of empowerment, a sense of purpose and direction.
- 1:55:32Speaker 2: And finally, the Gospel must bring advancement in all fares
- 1:55:37Speaker 2: of society, all's fairs, technological advancement, educational advancement, advancement in
- 1:55:45Speaker 2: the area of health. When you read Genesis forty one,
- 1:55:48Speaker 2: we're not really just writing for sake of time. From
- 1:55:51Speaker 2: verse thirty seven to fifty seven, this is the exaltation
- 1:55:54Speaker 2: of Joseph in Egypt. Joseph's relationship with the God of
- 1:56:00Speaker 2: the Hebrews, the God of the Bible, was intact. He
- 1:56:02Speaker 2: refused to compromise all through his stay.
- 1:56:05Speaker 4: It led him to the.
- 1:56:06Speaker 2: Prison, and after many years God brought him out and
- 1:56:10Speaker 2: Joseph became a prime minister away together by the level
- 1:56:14Speaker 2: of his transformation back top by the spirit of grace.
- 1:56:18Speaker 2: Now Joseph was put through influence in a position where
- 1:56:22Speaker 2: he could govern.
- 1:56:23Speaker 5: And look what happened to the world because of one man.
- 1:56:26Speaker 2: The excellency of his knowing God came and it translated
- 1:56:32Speaker 2: to the health of Egypt, even in the place of farming. Imagine,
- 1:56:36Speaker 2: if Joseph did not provide that economic solution, Jacob and
- 1:56:40Speaker 2: all the other sons would have died and the program
- 1:56:43Speaker 2: of God would have been aborted. Can I tell you
- 1:56:45Speaker 2: listen to my message. Let me refer you to my
- 1:56:47Speaker 2: message commanding salvation over territories. I told you that our
- 1:56:51Speaker 2: territories are also evangelists. There is a message only your
- 1:56:56Speaker 2: territory can speak, and there is an audience that has
- 1:56:59Speaker 2: been designed to listen to it. Results speak, territories speak.
- 1:57:03Speaker 2: You can command salvation like it happens to an individual.
- 1:57:08Speaker 2: Salvation can happen over territories. You read the stories of
- 1:57:12Speaker 2: the move of God across islands like the Fiji Island,
- 1:57:15Speaker 2: the Wealth Revival, and you find out that going and
- 1:57:19Speaker 2: in glove with the move of God, where advancements in education,
- 1:57:23Speaker 2: advancements in health care. I believe in the gospel that
- 1:57:28Speaker 2: permeates the triparthite nature of man and.
- 1:57:31Speaker 5: Then extends to society.
- 1:57:33Speaker 2: Thank God today for the Christian schools that we have
- 1:57:36Speaker 2: across this nation and the world that preserve morality. Are
- 1:57:40Speaker 2: we together and help the students that are there to
- 1:57:43Speaker 2: keep growing. Thank God for the Christian hospitals we have
- 1:57:46Speaker 2: today as a contribution to the health of people. Thank
- 1:57:50Speaker 2: God for other platforms, technological platforms and other platforms that
- 1:57:55Speaker 2: are adding to the health of society. We have received
- 1:58:00Speaker 2: the blessings of others. The world is waiting for your own.
- 1:58:05Speaker 2: We're able to preach the gospel today to thousands of
- 1:58:09Speaker 2: others across the globe because somebody allowed his creativity to
- 1:58:13Speaker 2: be a two for the Gospel. Allelujah. Yes, my message
- 1:58:20Speaker 2: tonight is to redefine the Great Commission. To one who
- 1:58:25Speaker 2: sees the Great Commission only as world evangelization, that is powerful,
- 1:58:30Speaker 2: but that is only one over three. To one who
- 1:58:32Speaker 2: sees the Gospel as just discipleship and mentorship, that is wonderful,
- 1:58:37Speaker 2: but that is one over three. And to one who
- 1:58:40Speaker 2: just focuses on welfare and well being without impacting on
- 1:58:44Speaker 2: the hearts, the spirits, and the minds of people, that
- 1:58:47Speaker 2: is also one over three. It is world evangelization plus
- 1:58:52Speaker 2: discipleship and mentorship plus societal and territorial transformation that equals
- 1:58:58Speaker 2: the mandate Jesus gave us. And if we fulfill this
- 1:59:01Speaker 2: mandate correctly, something will happen to our territories, something will
- 1:59:05Speaker 2: happen to the world before Jesus returns.
- 1:59:09Speaker 5: This is our mission.
- 1:59:10Speaker 2: This is why we are here, This is why we breathe,
- 1:59:13Speaker 2: This is why we learn and do all the things
- 1:59:15Speaker 2: that we do.
- 1:59:16Speaker 5: We sleep for this reason, we wake up for this reason.
- 1:59:19Speaker 2: We are spent, and we spend for this reason that someday,
- 1:59:25Speaker 2: when everything is said and done. When Jesus returns, he
- 1:59:30Speaker 2: can come and tell you well done, good and faithful servant.
- 1:59:35Speaker 2: Away together, And if you go and meet him before
- 1:59:38Speaker 2: he returns, you will still hear well done, good and
- 1:59:40Speaker 2: faithful servant. Because to be absent in the body is
- 1:59:44Speaker 2: to be present with the Lord. This is how to
- 1:59:46Speaker 2: live a life of wisdom. This is how to live
- 1:59:49Speaker 2: a life of value. Spending your life just desiring to
- 1:59:53Speaker 2: build a house or buy a car, or even.
- 1:59:56Speaker 5: Be a preacher or have a church.
- 1:59:58Speaker 2: As wonderful as that is, it is very mundane and
- 2:00:01Speaker 2: inferior with respect to this noble call. And this is
- 2:00:05Speaker 2: not a man of God's call.
- 2:00:07Speaker 5: This is everybody's call.
- 2:00:09Speaker 2: You can be involved in world evangelization by praying I
- 2:00:13Speaker 2: have taught you, by being actively involved in the mission field,
- 2:00:17Speaker 2: and by giving. Can I tell you some of you
- 2:00:19Speaker 2: have never interceded for souls. Everything about missions is none
- 2:00:24Speaker 2: of your business. Some of you have never spoken to
- 2:00:28Speaker 2: anybody about Jesus Christ. Or once in a while, when
- 2:00:31Speaker 2: you feel emotional, look at the lady who came here
- 2:00:33Speaker 2: to testify God. Bless the woman or the man the
- 2:00:36Speaker 2: worker who led that.
- 2:00:37Speaker 5: Person to Christ.
- 2:00:38Speaker 2: Thank you for not keeping quiet. Thank you for insisting
- 2:00:43Speaker 2: that they come to Jesus Christ. And there are some
- 2:00:46Speaker 2: of you, as you are looking at me now, your
- 2:00:48Speaker 2: one dollar, your one mira has never been part of
- 2:00:52Speaker 2: the salvation of any I'm not co asking you for
- 2:00:56Speaker 2: your money, but I love you too much to not
- 2:00:58Speaker 2: tell you. Let me tell you.
- 2:01:00Speaker 5: Tell of your money is when it has a place
- 2:01:03Speaker 5: in this world mission.
- 2:01:05Speaker 2: There are very wealthy people across this nation, across the globe.
- 2:01:09Speaker 2: We give for other causes that are inferior to world evangelization.
- 2:01:15Speaker 2: Let me challenge you the resources that God gives you.
- 2:01:19Speaker 2: There is part of it that is for His program.
- 2:01:22Speaker 2: There is part of it that is for your blessing.
- 2:01:24Speaker 2: It is the truth world evangelization. How about discipleship. When
- 2:01:29Speaker 2: you invite people to church, you are not just trying
- 2:01:32Speaker 2: to increase the membership of a man of God's ministry.
- 2:01:35Speaker 5: No, that is an erroneous orientation.
- 2:01:38Speaker 2: When you invite people to church, you are participating in
- 2:01:41Speaker 2: this second phase of the.
- 2:01:45Speaker 5: Great commission.
- 2:01:46Speaker 2: He said, go and compel them, Go and compel them,
- 2:01:50Speaker 2: go to.
- 2:01:50Speaker 5: The byways and the highways.
- 2:01:52Speaker 2: Compel them to come, that my house shall be feeled God,
- 2:01:56Speaker 2: Jesus himself gave that instruction. I was glad when this
- 2:02:00Speaker 2: on to me. When you are going to church and
- 2:02:02Speaker 2: you hold someone and say please, I'm inviting you. I
- 2:02:04Speaker 2: think you want to be blessed, the person comes to
- 2:02:07Speaker 2: sit down. That person is a CEO employing one thousand people.
- 2:02:11Speaker 2: You just brought one thousand people to church in one man.
- 2:02:14Speaker 2: His transformation translates to the health of one thousand people.
- 2:02:20Speaker 2: Am I right on that? Yes, everybody is connected to
- 2:02:24Speaker 2: somebody somewhere somehow, and when you give them an opportunity
- 2:02:27Speaker 2: to hear the truth like some of you who are
- 2:02:29Speaker 2: hearing now, imagine those who have traveled from all across
- 2:02:32Speaker 2: the globe to be here. They returned back with this
- 2:02:35Speaker 2: renewed orientation. Impact is one life. I have taught you
- 2:02:40Speaker 2: at a time. But one million is one in one
- 2:02:44Speaker 2: million places. Every time you remove one, you are literally
- 2:02:47Speaker 2: removing one million. It is one plus one plus one
- 2:02:52Speaker 2: plus one plus one again plus another one that equals
- 2:02:56Speaker 2: one million. The one soul you brought to church is
- 2:02:59Speaker 2: among the one millions who have come. You have made
- 2:03:02Speaker 2: your own contribution to bring your one.
- 2:03:05Speaker 5: Are we together now?
- 2:03:06Speaker 2: Yes? How do governments raise money? They raise money from taxpayers.
- 2:03:11Speaker 2: And what the taxpayer may pay as an individual may
- 2:03:14Speaker 2: not be much, but combine it and it becomes trillions
- 2:03:18Speaker 2: of US dollars trillions of naira. And that's what they
- 2:03:21Speaker 2: run the economy of nations with ladies and gentlemen. Here me,
- 2:03:26Speaker 2: your life must be actively involved in discipleship. It is
- 2:03:31Speaker 2: not just to the man. If you cannot preach, you
- 2:03:34Speaker 2: can get the truth across to someone. Technology and social
- 2:03:37Speaker 2: media has made it. Instead of promoting all kinds of
- 2:03:40Speaker 2: godless things, your life can be an active contributor getting
- 2:03:44Speaker 2: the truth towards many who need to hear. And then
- 2:03:47Speaker 2: the third phase is our business societal transformation. Let me
- 2:03:51Speaker 2: ask you two questions I asked you before. You didn't
- 2:03:54Speaker 2: answer the last time. I hope you answer now. Whose
- 2:03:57Speaker 2: life has been blessed because you are alive? Gone to
- 2:04:00Speaker 2: school because you gave your life to Jesus? Has someone
- 2:04:04Speaker 2: been able to eat today or tomorrow or any day
- 2:04:07Speaker 2: because you are alive? Do you know how excellent and
- 2:04:10Speaker 2: how healthy it is to live knowing that your life
- 2:04:14Speaker 2: is contributing to someone. Look at the young lad that
- 2:04:17Speaker 2: Andrew brought. That boy had his five love and two fish.
- 2:04:20Speaker 2: Maybe for him and a few friends, and Jesus said,
- 2:04:22Speaker 2: can you allow us use this and let us feed many?
- 2:04:25Speaker 2: You will not be at a loss. The Bible does
- 2:04:27Speaker 2: not tell us who took the twelve basket, but if
- 2:04:29Speaker 2: I were Jesus, I would give you to the young lad. Allelujah.
- 2:04:42Speaker 4: When it's all insaid and.
- 2:04:47Speaker 3: There is just one thing, Mans.
- 2:04:53Speaker 7: Died, I do my best to live for truth, did
- 2:04:58Speaker 7: I lean mind for you?
- 2:05:03Speaker 4: When it's all in said and done, all my.
- 2:05:08Speaker 7: Treasures will mean nothing, only one after, for love's reward.
- 2:05:18Speaker 4: Will stand the test of time.
- 2:05:23Speaker 2: Lord, you mercy so great.
- 2:05:28Speaker 10: That you love beyond.
- 2:05:30Speaker 11: Are weakness, and find precious chirrel in married clay, turning
- 2:05:39Speaker 11: sayers in to say, and now we'll always sing your praise.
- 2:05:48Speaker 12: Here on earth and ever ofter, for you've told me
- 2:05:55Speaker 12: Haven's my true home when.
- 2:05:59Speaker 4: It's all been, he said, And then.
- 2:06:03Speaker 2: You're my life when life is done. The day I
- 2:06:12Speaker 2: was told Miles Monroe had gone to be with the Lord,
- 2:06:15Speaker 2: I wasn't worry for a meeting. And when they called
- 2:06:18Speaker 2: me and said this man just had a plane crash.
- 2:06:21Speaker 2: At first I said, God, why, But then I remembered
- 2:06:25Speaker 2: that it is not the amount of time we live.
- 2:06:27Speaker 2: That matters, but to the degree to which our lives
- 2:06:30Speaker 2: has spent in making this happen. The day I heard
- 2:06:35Speaker 2: that the great patriarch of faith, Billy Graham, had gone
- 2:06:38Speaker 2: to be with the Lord, I said, this is one
- 2:06:40Speaker 2: of the few men on earth who finished his assignment
- 2:06:43Speaker 2: and stood back and was waiting. He literally had finished.
- 2:06:47Speaker 2: He spent his life going from tiller to post. The
- 2:06:52Speaker 2: day I heard that Rain had Bunkey had left, I
- 2:06:54Speaker 2: thank God for the privilege to have been in his crusades,
- 2:06:57Speaker 2: And I said, this man gave his life. He said
- 2:07:00Speaker 2: Africa shall be saved. We are products of his prophecy. Today.
- 2:07:06Speaker 2: Not too long ago I heard that Pat Robinson, the
- 2:07:09Speaker 2: founder of Sybian seven hundred Club, who had inspired so
- 2:07:13Speaker 2: many people in his late nineties, just a little step
- 2:07:18Speaker 2: to Bee hundred, he passed on to be with the Lord.
- 2:07:21Speaker 5: You see, they are going.
- 2:07:22Speaker 2: There is a generational shift happening. But while many of
- 2:07:26Speaker 2: us are just admiring and boiling and waiting, we have
- 2:07:29Speaker 2: insulted the fathers, and some of them have said, you've
- 2:07:32Speaker 2: insulted us.
- 2:07:33Speaker 5: We're going now. We're moving, step by step getting to
- 2:07:37Speaker 5: that stage.
- 2:07:38Speaker 2: If we do not understand what the great commission is
- 2:07:42Speaker 2: the day that the light of the nations come upon us.
- 2:07:45Speaker 2: Let it not be that we'll mislead a generation, and
- 2:07:48Speaker 2: then the ones we raise come and begin to correct
- 2:07:50Speaker 2: us too, And that correction will be harsh because they
- 2:07:53Speaker 2: will say, you spoke about those who went before you.
- 2:07:55Speaker 2: You did not show messy. Now look at it, you
- 2:07:58Speaker 2: are messy. On My mission as a man of God
- 2:08:01Speaker 2: is not to do everything. I've not been called to
- 2:08:03Speaker 2: do everything. I do not know everything. But mine is
- 2:08:06Speaker 2: to spend my life serving You, serving Jesus, serving the nations,
- 2:08:11Speaker 2: serving my generation with all that I have in life
- 2:08:14Speaker 2: and in death, serving Him sincerely making our own contribution.
- 2:08:20Speaker 2: This is all. I don't preach the gospel because I
- 2:08:22Speaker 2: am a preacher. I preach the gospel because I'm a
- 2:08:25Speaker 2: child of God. Are we together now? So the one
- 2:08:33Speaker 2: who is saying I am waiting on till the day
- 2:08:35Speaker 2: or then the pastor you're already a hippocrete from beginning,
- 2:08:39Speaker 2: everyone should leave this service today with a renewed passion
- 2:08:43Speaker 2: for souls. You may not have the privilege to do
- 2:08:46Speaker 2: one on one evangelism, but can you take one day
- 2:08:49Speaker 2: in the week to pray for souls one day in
- 2:08:52Speaker 2: the week to pray.
- 2:08:53Speaker 5: For those in the mission fields.
- 2:08:55Speaker 2: What of some of you who can't give you find
- 2:08:58Speaker 2: a ministry that is involved in soul and the transformation
- 2:09:01Speaker 2: of people.
- 2:09:01Speaker 5: That is where your seat should go.
- 2:09:03Speaker 2: How about participating in seeing that people are saved. A
- 2:09:08Speaker 2: few minutes from now, I'm going to be making another call,
- 2:09:11Speaker 2: and I know that there are many tonight whilst you
- 2:09:13Speaker 2: are listening, there are many who will come here. You
- 2:09:16Speaker 2: don't know the joy in my heart when I say
- 2:09:18Speaker 2: people live their seats and come to stand here.
- 2:09:21Speaker 5: It does not just show that the preacher is anointed.
- 2:09:23Speaker 2: It shows that Jesus is winning. That he's winning in Nigeria,
- 2:09:29Speaker 2: he's winning in America, He's winning in UK in US everywhere.
- 2:09:33Speaker 2: This is why we do the things that we're doing. Allelujah,
- 2:09:39Speaker 2: and so believers hear me. For some of you who
- 2:09:42Speaker 2: have been called by God and you have ignored the call.
- 2:09:45Speaker 2: You may not have the privilege to head a ministry,
- 2:09:47Speaker 2: You may not even have a privilege to be global
- 2:09:49Speaker 2: in terms of ministerial impact. But that which He has
- 2:09:54Speaker 2: given you. The hymn writer says, I'll do a sa
- 2:09:57Speaker 2: it pits me whatever the I'll be a true soldier.
- 2:10:06Speaker 5: You've forgotten the song? Remember it all it pays.
- 2:10:11Speaker 2: To save Jesus.
- 2:10:12Speaker 10: I sing from my heart.
- 2:10:15Speaker 4: You always be with us. I can't remember the rest of.
- 2:10:24Speaker 6: Do you know?
- 2:10:25Speaker 2: Hold on?
- 2:10:26Speaker 10: Do you know?
- 2:10:26Speaker 2: Yeares ago? People who sing these songs and cry they
- 2:10:30Speaker 2: really believed it and they meant it.
- 2:10:36Speaker 4: I love him far better.
- 2:10:40Speaker 2: I'll serve you more truly than ever before.
- 2:10:44Speaker 4: I'll do as it means me whatever the cause. We
- 2:10:50Speaker 4: are truth, So how bigger serving you?
- 2:11:04Speaker 5: All of the days of my life.
- 2:11:08Speaker 6: I'll be.
- 2:11:11Speaker 4: Serving all of the days my life.
- 2:11:19Speaker 2: Lord, be.
- 2:11:23Speaker 4: Worsh all thir days.
- 2:11:29Speaker 2: Of my life.
- 2:11:32Speaker 4: Oh be worship to day. We're wrapping up.
- 2:11:46Speaker 2: Go back and listen to this message redefining the great commission.
- 2:11:51Speaker 2: Don't assume you understood everything I said. When you go back,
- 2:11:54Speaker 2: sit down and listen, let the spirit of God breathe,
- 2:11:59Speaker 2: and let your destiny come out of this message. That
- 2:12:03Speaker 2: you will see the role that God has called you
- 2:12:05Speaker 2: to play, whether in business, whether in ministry. What you
- 2:12:10Speaker 2: call purpose and destiny is simply the role you have
- 2:12:13Speaker 2: to play. As far as this kingdom advanced, this mandate
- 2:12:17Speaker 2: is concerned. My greatest desires to bring joy to the
- 2:12:20Speaker 2: heart of the Master in and through my life by
- 2:12:23Speaker 2: serving Him as best as I can, taking advantage of
- 2:12:27Speaker 2: all the graces is made available onto me. And this
- 2:12:30Speaker 2: is my proposition for you tonight. Now that you know
- 2:12:33Speaker 2: these things, may you be happy and blessed if you
- 2:12:37Speaker 2: do them. Rise upon your feet, Place, rise upon your feet.
