- 0:19Speaker 1: times in the body of Christ.
- 0:22Speaker 2: Then I will.

- 0:35Speaker 1: sent to raise God's end time always. With Apostle Fermi Lazarus,
- 0:40Speaker 1: every minute counts as you listen attentively.
- 0:47Speaker 3: Bless the Lord, O my soul.
- 0:55Speaker 4: O my soul.
- 0:56Speaker 5: Worship Jesus.
- 1:04Speaker 6: Bless the Lord.
- 1:09Speaker 7: Bless the Lord, O my soul.
- 1:36Speaker 5: Sing like never before, O my soul, worship His holy name.
- 1:50Speaker 4: Amen.
- 1:53Speaker 2: Amen.
- 1:54Speaker 3: Now look over everyone. I'm about to start a new series.
- 2:04Speaker 3: Today we're excited.
- 2:08Speaker 2: I'm about to bring you a form of introduction to
- 2:12Speaker 2: that series. One of the things that God has trusted
- 2:18Speaker 2: this ministry with is the unction to raise the next
- 2:22Speaker 2: generation of ministers for the body of Christ. Across board,
- 2:29Speaker 2: the materials and the messages from here will be studied
- 2:32Speaker 2: by many generations. Now, there's a reason why I'm giving
- 2:36Speaker 2: you the announcements. It's so that you can treasure every word.
- 2:43Speaker 2: And when that time comes, you would have been made.
- 2:50Speaker 2: What I'm saying will not fall to the ground. Enjoy
- 3:00Speaker 2: the atmosphere. Enjoy everything, you see, because it's so transient.
- 3:04Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 3:06Speaker 4: Amen.
- 3:07Speaker 2: You see, was it on Friday... During PPC, sometimes I
- 3:14Speaker 2: get embarrassed a lot. Because naturally, I can't survive God's
- 3:22Speaker 2: presence without tears. And that's why I love isolation. Because
- 3:31Speaker 2: you will practically feel someone has died. And as I
- 3:35Speaker 2: sat down there to minister.
- 3:38Speaker 2: I could see people from Zimbabwe, from Kenya, from different
- 3:41Speaker 2: places shouting healings, healings, healings, healings.
- 3:48Speaker 4: And that's not even the core anointing in this house.
- 3:51Speaker 2: The core grace here is wisdom. And sometimes I wonder
- 3:59Speaker 2: if God is giving this man this much as a byproduct.
- 4:03Speaker 4: We need to tap into the core one.
- 4:05Speaker 2: True? Amen.
- 4:07Speaker 8: Amen.
- 4:08Speaker 4: We need to tap into it.
- 4:12Speaker 2: Potent here is enough grace and energy to make you.
- 4:19Speaker 2: But are you willing? I said, are you willing? Something
- 4:24Speaker 2: is going to come on somebody this morning. Now, in
- 4:30Speaker 2: Luke 4, verse 18, when Jesus got, now you must understand,
- 4:35Speaker 2: Jesus was just coming from a wilderness experience. It was
- 4:40Speaker 2: in verse 13, if I'm correct. The Bible said that
- 4:42Speaker 2: his fame was noised abroad. Just five verses after that,
- 4:46Speaker 2: he entered the temple. From 40 days dry. And he
- 4:52Speaker 2: picked exactly what Isaiah said about him. He said, this day,
- 4:55Speaker 2: this scripture is fulfilled. Now, announcing the dimension upon your
- 4:59Speaker 2: life is not pride. It is a call to recognition.
- 5:03Speaker 2: So there can be participation. You can't participate in what
- 5:08Speaker 2: you don't recognize. Are you following what I'm saying? One
- 5:16Speaker 2: of the consciousness I have is that if somebody has
- 5:19Speaker 2: the privilege of staying around me for a year, you
- 5:22Speaker 2: should have carried what it takes to become an enigma
- 5:24Speaker 2: to your world. You should have.
- 5:29Speaker 4: You should have.
- 5:33Speaker 2: I took him on a walk this morning and I
- 5:36Speaker 2: told him, we'll repeat it, I don't have to be
- 5:42Speaker 2: everywhere to have megachurches everywhere. I don't overrate my presence.
- 5:53Speaker 4: If I stay on you here for two years at
- 5:55Speaker 4: a row, it will choke you.
- 6:02Speaker 2: Praise God. But I'm calling you to participate and pick it.
- 6:08Speaker 2: You can catch it. I said you can catch it.
- 6:14Speaker 2: You can. I said you can. I'm about to teach
- 6:19Speaker 2: you a very cold secret this morning. That nobody's life
- 6:23Speaker 2: should remain the same. And I'm going to speak from
- 6:28Speaker 2: my heart as though it's not a Sunday service. Because
- 6:31Speaker 2: on Sundays I obey the principle in John 21. Feed
- 6:36Speaker 2: my lamb and feed my sheep. Now I believe that
- 6:38Speaker 2: Sunday is the day you have the mixture. I believe
- 6:42Speaker 2: Tuesday is the day you have the sheep. I believe
- 6:45Speaker 2: Sundays you have mixture. Lamb and sheep.
- 6:48Speaker 4: Different growth phase.
- 6:49Speaker 2: So that's why. Calm down.
- 6:53Speaker 4: But this morning I will not hold.
- 6:56Speaker 7: Back.
- 6:57Speaker 6: I won't.
- 7:00Speaker 4: Praise God.
- 7:01Speaker 2: Hallelujah. Now I recognize it. I'm too aware. I am
- 7:10Speaker 2: too aware. Now, let me give you an instruction. Whatsoever
- 7:18Speaker 2: your distraction is now, put it side by side with
- 7:22Speaker 2: the vision and the future God has shown you and
- 7:24Speaker 2: pick one.
- 7:27Speaker 4: Pick one on time before life picks one for you.
- 7:33Speaker 2: Put your distraction side by side with the future God
- 7:35Speaker 2: has shown you and pick one. You will never be useless.
- 7:44Speaker 2: But sir, look at the testimonies you are sharing. A
- 7:48Speaker 2: married man running after a single girl.
- 7:51Speaker 4: Is he embarrassed? Emotions can be subjected. Because there is
- 7:58Speaker 4: a greater future.
- 8:01Speaker 2: We know a man who has seen it by the
- 8:02Speaker 2: price he is willing to pay. By the things you
- 8:05Speaker 2: are willing to kill and subject. You can't live like
- 8:09Speaker 2: every other person and become better. how far have you
- 8:17Speaker 2: seen will be revealed in how far you are willing
- 8:21Speaker 2: to sacrifice put the most yellow bread side by side
- 8:24Speaker 2: will seem that you're about to trade jesus for food
- 8:29Speaker 2: because when isaac was eating significance was living his dna
- 8:33Speaker 2: that are you aware the seed was the right to
- 8:37Speaker 2: carry the lineage of the messiah ultimately is the seed
- 8:44Speaker 2: Each one, mighty men were living. Moses walked out and
- 8:49Speaker 2: crossed to the other guy. David walked out, crossed to
- 8:53Speaker 2: the other guy. All the tribes, because you can see
- 8:56Speaker 2: that significance was narrowed down to 12 tribes. You will
- 9:03Speaker 2: not eat the plate of porridge that will choke you.
- 9:08Speaker 2: Say that amen again louder. Amen. As long as the
- 9:11Speaker 2: heaven and the earth remain, see time and harvest. May
- 9:16Speaker 2: you carry the grace to sow the right seed for
- 9:21Speaker 2: the right harvest. So that you will not be ashamed
- 9:23Speaker 2: in the day of harvest. You will be proud that
- 9:27Speaker 2: you have done the right things. Amen and Amen.
- 9:33Speaker 4: I have burden in my heart and I I pray
- 9:39Speaker 4: God help me to offload successfully.
- 9:43Speaker 2: So today I want to teach on the subject kingdom service.
- 9:49Speaker 4: That's our next series. That's our new series.
- 9:52Speaker 5: Hallelujah.
- 9:54Speaker 7: Hallelujah.
- 10:00Speaker 2: So I'm going to be teaching you on this series.
- 10:02Speaker 2: Kingdom what? Kingdom what? Kingdom service. Kingdom service. Now let
- 10:11Speaker 2: me show you a scripture.
- 10:12Speaker 9: First Kings chapter number 19. 1st Kings chapter number.
- 10:23Speaker 2: 19 now you know what happened before 1st Kings 19
- 10:38Speaker 2: Elijah had gathered the prophet of Baal in 1st Kings
- 10:42Speaker 2: 18 from verse 20 and brought revival to the land
- 10:46Speaker 2: because he was jealous for the Lord He was what?
- 10:50Speaker 2: He was jealous. He had brought down fire and Jezebel
- 10:59Speaker 2: looked at him after that and said, I'm going to
- 11:00Speaker 2: cut off your head. And the man of God ran.
- 11:06Speaker 2: I'm going to download my teaching in spirit and in power.
- 11:13Speaker 2: I spoke a lot about Jezebel and the system of
- 11:19Speaker 2: Jezebel Which is intimidation. And I shared.
- 11:25Speaker 4: That John the Baptist was supposed to return.
- 11:26Speaker 2: In what?
- 11:27Speaker 4: The spirit.
- 11:29Speaker 2: And what?
- 11:29Speaker 4: The power.
- 11:31Speaker 2: Now if I lay hands on someone. Come. And I
- 11:36Speaker 2: say such as I have. What Elijah has from Elijah.
- 11:39Speaker 2: Is double portion of your spirit. Not double portion of
- 11:43Speaker 2: your power. The word spirit there means.
- 11:47Speaker 7: In style.
- 11:48Speaker 2: In style. Are you with me now? But also, it
- 11:54Speaker 2: should come in the spirit of Elijah and also in
- 11:58Speaker 2: his power. Now, if Elisha carried double portions, should God
- 12:01Speaker 2: not have said that Elijah should come in spirit and
- 12:04Speaker 2: in power of Elisha? Why Elijah? Because all Elisha asked
- 12:11Speaker 2: for was his spirit, not his power. So it means,
- 12:16Speaker 2: the mistake happened with Elisha. the mistake also happened with
- 12:21Speaker 2: John the Baptist. And there were similarities. Elisha was very
- 12:29Speaker 2: sick and he died. There was no man around him.
- 12:34Speaker 2: John the Baptist also, he died before his time. It
- 12:41Speaker 2: means it is very possible for the Elisha generation to
- 12:44Speaker 2: only desire the Spirit.
- 12:47Speaker 4: Let me leave that as parable.
- 12:50Speaker 2: So when Herodias came as another prototype of Jezebel, he
- 12:54Speaker 2: cut off his head. Intimidated him and cut off his head.
- 13:01Speaker 2: Of John the Baptist and they put it on the
- 13:02Speaker 2: plate and were parading it. Why? That you speak like
- 13:07Speaker 2: a person doesn't mean you carry what they carry. You
- 13:10Speaker 2: must go beyond resemblance to carry the authentic.
- 13:15Speaker 4: Praise God. I said praise God. Now please be seated.
- 13:20Speaker 2: So the system of intimidation is the system of Jezebel.
- 13:25Speaker 2: Now you'll be amazed that the man has called down fire.
- 13:27Speaker 2: There's so much revival. And now, the man.
- 13:33Speaker 4: Let's read.
- 13:34Speaker 2: So that happened in 1 Kings 18. But if you
- 13:38Speaker 2: go to 1 Kings 19, so you can see the continuity.
- 13:42Speaker 2: Elisha and Jezebel... Alright, from 1 Kings 19 from verse 1.
- 13:48Speaker 2: And here I have told Jezebel what Elijah has done.
- 13:51Speaker 2: And Jezebel said the messenger to Elijah, saying, So let
- 13:55Speaker 2: the gods do to me, and more also, if I
- 13:58Speaker 2: make not your life as the life of one of
- 14:02Speaker 2: them by tomorrow. By tomorrow, by about this time. And
- 14:06Speaker 2: when he saw that, he arose and went for his
- 14:09Speaker 2: life and came to Beersheba, which belonged to Judah, and
- 14:14Speaker 2: left his servant there. But he himself went a day's
- 14:17Speaker 2: journey to the wilderness and came and sat under a
- 14:20Speaker 2: juniper tree and requested himself that he might die. He
- 14:26Speaker 2: wanted to die. How will a man enter depression after revival? Alright,
- 14:33Speaker 2: let me say this to you. Listen to what I'm saying.
- 14:38Speaker 2: And I'm telling you this fact. You are more vulnerable
- 14:41Speaker 2: after discharge of the anointing.
- 14:45Speaker 4: You must understand that.
- 14:47Speaker 7: You are.
- 14:49Speaker 2: You are. Alright? Because, hear what I'm saying. What people
- 14:54Speaker 2: see is the power, the power, the power. The power
- 14:57Speaker 2: of God. Once we are done releasing the power, we
- 15:00Speaker 2: now have demand. Are you following what I'm saying here?
- 15:06Speaker 2: Elijah was, they killed me now. Let's look at what
- 15:10Speaker 2: he was saying. I'm going to kingdom service.
- 15:12Speaker 4: Just follow this story.
- 15:15Speaker 10: Alright?
- 15:16Speaker 2: Now, why did he.
- 15:19Speaker 4: There are core secrets. Are you ready for me this morning?
- 15:22Speaker 2: Are you sure? Let me help you pick a few things.
- 15:30Speaker 2: Maybe it will make sense to you. Maybe you will
- 15:32Speaker 2: need them. Let me try.
- 15:42Speaker 6: He told.
- 15:46Speaker 4: Look at it now.
- 15:48Speaker 2: Verse 3 When Elijah saw what this was, he arose
- 15:52Speaker 2: and went for his life. And came to Beersheba, which
- 15:54Speaker 2: belonged to Judah, and told his servant, and left his servant,
- 15:59Speaker 2: not servant. So it means there was a guy before Elijah.
- 16:07Speaker 2: And he told the guy, you sit here. Let me
- 16:11Speaker 2: tell you something. Let me tell you.
- 16:17Speaker 4: What I want to say. I'm showing you from the Bible.
- 16:22Speaker 2: Those few individuals who carry the revelation and by privilege
- 16:28Speaker 2: of access and wisdom have seen both the strength and
- 16:33Speaker 2: the vulnerability of the ones who are positioned for the
- 16:36Speaker 2: next man's role.
- 16:39Speaker 4: Let me leave it.
- 16:41Speaker 7: Alright?
- 16:41Speaker 2: Because this thing that this man went to do Some
- 16:47Speaker 2: of these guys will become prophet tomorrow.
- 16:48Speaker 4: They will go through. But the ones who have understood.
- 16:52Speaker 2: How to carry his weight in the days of those trouble,
- 16:56Speaker 2: they will know better how to survive.
- 16:59Speaker 4: Okay.
- 17:02Speaker 2: Because I know as leaders, there are people you must
- 17:05Speaker 2: not allow see that there is even scarcity because they
- 17:11Speaker 2: will disappear. You don't believe what I'm saying? Let me
- 17:24Speaker 2: tell you something That's why I said Should I eat?
- 17:30Speaker 2: I can water it down Should I water it down?
- 17:34Speaker 2: Some of you are not talking Should I water it?
- 17:38Speaker 2: Okay One time something happened in the body of Christ
- 17:42Speaker 2: Alright Somebody did some things And it was going around
- 17:47Speaker 2: Ah trending This man of God, the whole man of
- 17:49Speaker 2: God And somebody called me, one of my friends, and said,
- 17:56Speaker 2: oh boy, have you seen what is happening?
- 17:59Speaker 4: I said, I've seen it all.
- 17:59Speaker 2: He said, this is why I don't have many friends.
- 18:04Speaker 2: He said, because if somebody should go and try this thing,
- 18:06Speaker 2: I don't know, it will be a stain on all
- 18:09Speaker 2: of us. I heard that statement, and honestly, this fellow
- 18:15Speaker 2: is speaking from a very good heart. I just said
- 18:18Speaker 2: in my heart that friendship is beyond words. When the
- 18:22Speaker 2: tree is broken, the birds will fly. Friendship is blood-out.
- 18:29Speaker 2: That if I say you are my friend, it means
- 18:30Speaker 2: if you have reproach, I say identify me with it.
- 18:35Speaker 4: We will recover.
- 18:39Speaker 2: Let me tell you something. One of my friends on
- 18:42Speaker 2: campus was arraigned before the pastors of the church. And
- 18:49Speaker 2: they called him to sit down. They called me from
- 18:51Speaker 2: where I was walking And they said, come here. And
- 18:57Speaker 2: when I got to the pastor's house, I saw him seated.
- 19:00Speaker 2: And the way he sat down and was sober, I
- 19:03Speaker 2: knew he had done something. And I saw a girl there.
- 19:07Speaker 2: And I saw another girl who was close to me.
- 19:11Speaker 2: And I saw church leaders. And they said the girl
- 19:15Speaker 2: should talk. And the girl said, actually, you will never
- 19:21Speaker 2: sit in church seats.
- 19:25Speaker 4: Ah, he touched me.
- 19:26Speaker 2: That's why I said, put your loss side by side
- 19:28Speaker 2: with your future.
- 19:28Speaker 4: Pick one.
- 19:30Speaker 2: He touched me and all that.
- 19:33Speaker 4: I sat down there.
- 19:35Speaker 2: Everybody were against him. The reason why they have called
- 19:39Speaker 2: me here is because they know we are close. When
- 19:42Speaker 2: they finished judging his matter, they told, the girl that
- 19:46Speaker 2: was close, they now asked her to stand up. They
- 19:49Speaker 2: now asked the girl That the reason why we called
- 19:51Speaker 2: you here. Is because we know you are close to him.
- 19:53Speaker 4: So we want to ask. If he has been doing
- 19:55Speaker 4: the same thing with you. My tears dropped to my eyes.
- 19:58Speaker 2: Like my God.
- 20:00Speaker 4: You know when you are in a system. Where people
- 20:02Speaker 4: do everything possible to see.
- 20:07Speaker 2: That there is a stain. And your life is bearable
- 20:12Speaker 2: before God and before men. That they will suck till
- 20:15Speaker 2: Jesus comes, that day will not come. And the girl said, no.
- 20:21Speaker 2: Now I went on fast and prayer for this man.
- 20:26Speaker 5: Brother.
- 20:29Speaker 4: There was a day, I was at a place called
- 20:32Speaker 4: White Wall.
- 20:35Speaker 2: From 6am till 6pm. And by the time it was
- 20:42Speaker 2: quarter to six, you know what I was saying? I
- 20:44Speaker 2: was not saying, God, have mercy on him. I was saying,
- 20:46Speaker 2: have mercy on us. Intercession is not powerful if it
- 20:51Speaker 2: is done by proxy. Intercession is to identify with it.
- 20:55Speaker 2: Do you understand what I'm saying? Real intercession is not
- 20:58Speaker 2: for him or her.
- 20:59Speaker 7: It's for us.
- 21:00Speaker 2: Are you following what I'm saying? The moment I felt
- 21:08Speaker 2: the burden lift, Are you following what I'm saying? I
- 21:12Speaker 2: stood there worshiping God, worshiping God. My phone rang.
- 21:16Speaker 4: He called me and said, Pastor, you will not believe.
- 21:19Speaker 2: He said, just a few minutes ago, I felt the
- 21:22Speaker 2: old depression and the old burden left me.
- 21:25Speaker 4: That was the point where I hit the spot in
- 21:27Speaker 4: the place.
- 21:28Speaker 2: I didn't go there to pray for him, to pray
- 21:30Speaker 2: for myself. I went there to pray for him. And
- 21:34Speaker 2: in order to do it effectively, it has to be us.
- 21:39Speaker 2: Many people don't understand the meaning of commitment. Because there
- 21:45Speaker 2: can't be service without commitment. And service is not I
- 21:50Speaker 2: am here because things are perfect. Service is that I
- 21:52Speaker 2: am here because there is a work to be done.
- 21:56Speaker 2: Service does not require skill first. It requires a heart first.
- 22:01Speaker 2: Are you with me now? Look at what I'm saying.
- 22:07Speaker 2: As we read the entire scripture, you will find out
- 22:10Speaker 2: that Elijah actually had a custom of telling people to
- 22:13Speaker 2: wait behind. That was his custom. And to as many
- 22:18Speaker 2: as obeyed that instruction, they did not become. There are
- 22:25Speaker 2: instructions your leaders will give you because of the consecration
- 22:29Speaker 2: they have. But it is not good for you.
- 22:40Speaker 4: Are you with me? I'm going to teach you. What
- 22:44Speaker 4: did I say? There are instructions. I, I don't allow.
- 22:58Speaker 2: People gather and contribute money and say they want to
- 23:01Speaker 2: do something for me. The day I hear it, I
- 23:04Speaker 2: will look for every means to scatter it. Every means.
- 23:10Speaker 4: I will find every means to scatter it. Why?
- 23:15Speaker 2: I don't ever want anybody still to come before God.
- 23:20Speaker 4: That look at the way they are troubling me now.
- 23:21Speaker 2: Because I don't have. For something you say you want
- 23:25Speaker 2: to give to your God. Now that doesn't mean giving
- 23:28Speaker 2: to your pastor is bad. But my own personal consecration,
- 23:34Speaker 2: I will destroy it. Now, I can tell people to
- 23:38Speaker 2: gather money for somebody else. But not for me. Okay?
- 23:44Speaker 4: Now, what is the wisdom? If you are walking and
- 23:54Speaker 4: you come and say, I want to give my first
- 23:58Speaker 4: fruit to the church.
- 24:01Speaker 2: We do that every year. A first salary after fasting.
- 24:03Speaker 2: Just in case you don't know. Some people get offended,
- 24:07Speaker 2: but we still do it. We are going to do
- 24:09Speaker 2: it again.
- 24:12Speaker 4: By January.
- 24:13Speaker 2: Okay?
- 24:15Speaker 4: We'll do it in.
- 24:15Speaker 2: Jesus' name.
- 24:16Speaker 4: And I lead it away. So, I want to give
- 24:20Speaker 4: my first food.
- 24:22Speaker 2: Come to me. You are not talking to the same
- 24:28Speaker 2: man who announced it on the altar. Now you are
- 24:30Speaker 2: speaking to a man So my emotions come to me.
- 24:34Speaker 2: I say, ah, what will you use as transport now? Say,
- 24:39Speaker 2: God will provide. I say, no, don't give the first food.
- 24:41Speaker 2: That instruction is an instruction that is not.
- 24:43Speaker 4: To be obeyed.
- 24:50Speaker 2: Because I'm not exposing you to the same dimension God used.
- 24:54Speaker 2: So when I gave my own, how did I survive?
- 24:55Speaker 7: Are you.
- 25:01Speaker 2: Following what I'm saying?
- 25:03Speaker 4: So each time the burden.
- 25:06Speaker 2: Becomes much, Elijah will say, wait, I'm coming. And he
- 25:13Speaker 2: will go and come back and they will not ask him,
- 25:14Speaker 2: what happened there? But you see, Jesus did the same thing.
- 25:17Speaker 2: The gardener of Gethsemane said, you guys will wait here.
- 25:21Speaker 2: First he left twelve, brought three, told the three to
- 25:26Speaker 2: be praying. They slept off. Then he went to pray
- 25:30Speaker 2: till his sweat became like blood. I'm not sure there
- 25:38Speaker 2: is any scientific explanation for that.
- 25:42Speaker 4: Do you want to tell me that his veins busted?
- 25:48Speaker 2: What happened? I'm just going to argue from today till tomorrow.
- 25:57Speaker 2: But where the core things is, the real things that
- 26:01Speaker 2: makes men where they are, are in those areas that
- 26:04Speaker 2: people are not allowed to ordinarily come.
- 26:06Speaker 4: Unless they earn it. Are you with.
- 26:18Speaker 7: Me?
- 26:20Speaker 4: Particularly when you are dealing with a person. That God
- 26:22Speaker 4: has dealt with. Not boasters.
- 26:28Speaker 2: Not all these people. You know people say big things.
- 26:30Speaker 2: That they don't know anything about. This generation is very loud.
- 26:34Speaker 2: And yet shallow. when people look at people like Pastor
- 26:42Speaker 2: here what many people see is that I want the
- 26:45Speaker 2: grace but this man also he.
- 26:49Speaker 4: Cries because he is.
- 26:51Speaker 7: A man.
- 26:53Speaker 2: There are moments that he will.
- 26:54Speaker 4: Be down.
- 26:56Speaker 2: Who are those who carry that weight those are the
- 27:00Speaker 2: men to watch out for don't build a life Of
- 27:07Speaker 2: when it gets tough. I'm done.
- 27:15Speaker 7: No.
- 27:20Speaker 2: Are you following what I'm saying? Many people miss the
- 27:25Speaker 2: opportunity to be a part of history. Because they want
- 27:30Speaker 2: everything ready. And some even miss their future partner. Because
- 27:34Speaker 2: he's at the last phase of being broken. And you
- 27:38Speaker 2: marry the one that is at last face of being rich.
- 27:43Speaker 2: And fingers crossed. I'm not trying to excuse inactivity. Neither
- 27:54Speaker 2: am I excusing mediocrity for any reason.
- 27:57Speaker 4: But follow me. Do what? Follow me.
- 28:04Speaker 2: So Elijah told the guy, he said, wait behind you.
- 28:07Speaker 2: But he himself, by himself, went a day's journey to
- 28:11Speaker 2: the wilderness and came and sat under a juniper tree
- 28:13Speaker 2: and requested for himself that he might die. And said,
- 28:23Speaker 2: it is enough now. Oh Lord, take away my life.
- 28:26Speaker 2: For I am not better than my father's. And as
- 28:29Speaker 2: he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, the
- 28:32Speaker 2: energy of the Lord touched him.
- 28:34Speaker 4: Do you know, do you know, Are you sure you
- 28:38Speaker 4: want me to talk? Do you know that.
- 28:45Speaker 2: I said that if God has called to the prophetic,
- 28:47Speaker 2: one of the things you must deal with is that
- 28:50Speaker 2: being a prophet is a lonely road. Not because you
- 28:53Speaker 2: won't have people around. Nobody is really around until they
- 28:57Speaker 2: are partakers of your body.
- 29:02Speaker 4: Are you with me? Are you with me?
- 29:05Speaker 2: You can have people there and you are alone. One
- 29:10Speaker 2: of the major reasons why this man can be saying
- 29:12Speaker 2: I'm not better than my father is because if Jezebel
- 29:16Speaker 2: brings him out to cut his head, the same Israelites
- 29:18Speaker 2: who had repented yesterday will say, go ahead.
- 29:22Speaker 4: Let's leave it. Okay?
- 29:35Speaker 2: So he said, what am I better than my fathers?
- 29:38Speaker 2: As he lay and slept under a juniper tree behold,
- 29:40Speaker 2: then an angel touched him and said unto him, arise, eat.
- 29:44Speaker 2: And he looked and behold, it was a cake baking
- 29:47Speaker 2: on coals and a cruise of water at his head.
- 29:51Speaker 4: And he did eat. and drink, and lay down again.
- 29:56Speaker 2: And the angel said to him, came the second time,
- 29:58Speaker 2: touched him, and said, Arise, eat, because the journey is
- 30:01Speaker 2: too great for you. And he arose and did it,
- 30:04Speaker 2: and drank, and went in the strength of that meat,
- 30:06Speaker 2: forty days and forty nights, into the glory of the
- 30:09Speaker 2: mount of God. And he came down to a cave,
- 30:12Speaker 2: and lodged there. And behold, the word of the Lord
- 30:14Speaker 2: came to him. Now, this is what the word of
- 30:16Speaker 2: the Lord is saying to him. What doest thou here, Elijah?
- 30:21Speaker 2: And he said, I've been very jealous for the Lord
- 30:24Speaker 2: God of hosts. For the children of Israel have forsaken
- 30:27Speaker 2: thy covenant and thrown down thy altars and slain thy
- 30:30Speaker 2: prophets with a sword. And I, even I only am left.
- 30:34Speaker 2: And they seek my life to take it away. And
- 30:37Speaker 2: he said, go forth and stand upon the mount before
- 30:43Speaker 2: the Lord. And behold, the Lord passed by. And a
- 30:47Speaker 2: great strong wind rent the mountains and And break in
- 30:51Speaker 2: pieces the rocks before the Lord. But the Lord was
- 30:54Speaker 2: not in the wind. And after the wind an earthquake.
- 30:57Speaker 2: But the Lord was not in the earthquake. And after
- 31:00Speaker 2: the earthquake a fire. But the Lord was not in
- 31:02Speaker 2: the fire. And after the fire a still small voice.
- 31:09Speaker 2: And it was so when Elijah heard it. That he
- 31:13Speaker 2: rubbed his face in his mantle. And went out. And
- 31:16Speaker 2: stood at the entrance of the cave. And the old
- 31:19Speaker 2: man came a voice to him and said, What doest
- 31:22Speaker 2: thou here? And he said, I have been very jealous
- 31:25Speaker 2: for the Lord God of hosts, because the children of
- 31:28Speaker 2: Israel have forsaken thy covenant and thrown down thy altars
- 31:32Speaker 2: and slain thy prophet with the sword. I even have left.
- 31:37Speaker 2: And they seek to take my life, seek my life
- 31:39Speaker 2: to take it away. And the Lord said unto him, Go,
- 31:42Speaker 2: return thy way to the wilderness of Damascus. And when
- 31:46Speaker 2: thou comest, Anoint Azahel. To be king over Assyria.
- 31:51Speaker 6: Jehu.
- 31:52Speaker 2: The son of Nimshi. Shall thou anoint to be king
- 31:55Speaker 2: over Israel. And Elisha. The son of Shaphat. Of Abel Merola.
- 32:03Speaker 2: Shall thou anoint to be prophet in Dairum. And it
- 32:07Speaker 2: shall come to pass. He that escapeth the sword of Azahel.
- 32:11Speaker 2: Shall Jehu slay. And he that escapeth the sword of Jehu.
- 32:15Speaker 2: Then Elisha said. And God now said, Here is the gist.
- 32:19Speaker 2: Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, and
- 32:24Speaker 2: all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and
- 32:27Speaker 2: every mouth which has not kissed him. So he departed
- 32:30Speaker 2: thence and found Elisha. In simple words, what is the
- 32:36Speaker 2: Lord saying?
- 32:37Speaker 4: Look up.
- 32:38Speaker 2: God was saying, Number one, what you are carrying is
- 32:43Speaker 2: too much for you alone to bear. From the stream
- 32:47Speaker 2: of the prophetic you carry, a prophet, a king, and
- 32:52Speaker 2: what again?
- 32:54Speaker 4: A what?
- 32:55Speaker 2: A priest can emerge from it. So it's beyond just
- 33:03Speaker 2: prophet in your room. Are you with me now? Because this,
- 33:09Speaker 2: I'm not talking to ministers alone, so I'm going to
- 33:11Speaker 2: hold some things back. If we ever have another time
- 33:14Speaker 2: where I talk in this direction, I'll share that. Now
- 33:17Speaker 2: God said, go and anoint Elisha as a prophet in
- 33:23Speaker 2: your stead. When I read this scripture, I asked, what
- 33:39Speaker 2: is the difference between Elisha and that guy who stood behind?
- 33:47Speaker 2: The difference is, this one will never wait behind.
- 33:57Speaker 6: It won't.
- 33:57Speaker 2: What I'm telling you is that one character trait God
- 34:03Speaker 2: has tried to correct can be the reason for your substitution.
- 34:08Speaker 2: Stop giving up easily You know the way I'm feeling
- 34:12Speaker 2: Can be the reason why you will miss it Meanwhile
- 34:14Speaker 2: you have done every other thing right But it will
- 34:16Speaker 2: not change the fact that the requirement Is for a
- 34:18Speaker 2: man who will not back down Do you understand what
- 34:22Speaker 2: I'm saying? You can have all the spiritual prizes But
- 34:25Speaker 2: you have a character defect that is pivotal For the
- 34:28Speaker 2: fulfillment Do you understand what I'm saying? There are requirements
- 34:32Speaker 2: for job descriptions It is not enough to be the
- 34:38Speaker 2: man that prophecy is hanging on his head. Do you
- 34:40Speaker 2: have what it takes to pursue till it comes to pass?
- 34:45Speaker 2: The same prophecy can highlight another man that has all
- 34:48Speaker 2: your descriptions but the traits you have not had because
- 34:52Speaker 2: God tried to help you but you didn't learn it.
- 34:57Speaker 2: Everything God is saying in his small voice take them
- 34:59Speaker 2: serious because somebody else is hearing it.
- 35:04Speaker 4: And if that person are just and you fail to.
- 35:10Speaker 2: Let me tell you something. This happened to me. And
- 35:14Speaker 2: I'm not trying to lift experience above scriptures. But as
- 35:17Speaker 2: we study scripture, you will know that the law of
- 35:19Speaker 2: substitution is theologically correct. That men get substituted. Men lose
- 35:25Speaker 2: their bishopric. Men lose their place. I was ministering in
- 35:29Speaker 2: church and God said to me, He said, today I'm
- 35:32Speaker 2: going to show you a man that will replace you
- 35:33Speaker 2: if you fail. And when the brother walked in, He said,
- 35:39Speaker 2: that's him. I began to watch out for that guy.
- 35:47Speaker 2: So for me now, I've seen my replacement. You understand
- 35:49Speaker 2: what I'm saying? Do you understand what I'm saying?
- 35:54Speaker 4: He has shown me. I followed this guy. I heard
- 35:59Speaker 4: this statement since 2010. I made sure the guy was.
- 36:07Speaker 2: In my corner.
- 36:08Speaker 4: Are you following what I'm saying? Now I held that
- 36:13Speaker 4: word in my heart for 10 years When.
- 36:16Speaker 2: I knew That there is fire on the mountain Was
- 36:20Speaker 2: when he came to tell me his wedding date It
- 36:22Speaker 2: was the same date I chose So we got married
- 36:36Speaker 2: the same day To tell you how much he was
- 36:40Speaker 2: following me side by side.
- 36:46Speaker 3: Are you following what I'm saying?
- 36:53Speaker 2: I want to say some things. But when I feel restraint,
- 36:58Speaker 2: I just respond, I obey. When the job description changes
- 37:05Speaker 2: because you've been substituted, the allocation will also change. Let
- 37:14Speaker 2: me give you an instance. Hold on, hold on, hold on,
- 37:17Speaker 2: hold on. Don't write.
- 37:19Speaker 4: Because you don't know what I'm saying.
- 37:21Speaker 2: If there's been a crisis in your lineage, and the
- 37:26Speaker 2: crisis is that everyone married women.
- 37:30Speaker 4: Who messed up their life.
- 37:33Speaker 2: God said, I'm not just going to take this away
- 37:36Speaker 2: by grace. There has to be a job description that
- 37:38Speaker 2: qualifies this one for one of my daughters. So I'm
- 37:42Speaker 2: calling you now to work for me. The guy began
- 37:45Speaker 2: to make money and said, I just want to make
- 37:47Speaker 2: this money. I'm not interested in this assignment. So God said, okay.
- 37:53Speaker 4: This one is hallowed bread.
- 37:57Speaker 2: Okay? You know what that means?
- 38:01Speaker 4: It's for priests.
- 38:03Speaker 2: So you go and do what you want to do.
- 38:06Speaker 4: Bring who you want to bring.
- 38:07Speaker 2: I will anoint it. And the fellow goes to do
- 38:11Speaker 2: what he wants to do. And Bring the kind of
- 38:15Speaker 2: girl he wants to bring. And now find out that
- 38:21Speaker 2: by saying no to God's assignment qualifies you for what
- 38:25Speaker 2: your father said. Everything God asks you to do, there
- 38:34Speaker 2: are security in it deeper than what federal government can
- 38:36Speaker 2: give you. Is it length of days? There are covenants
- 38:41Speaker 2: of the calling.
- 38:44Speaker 4: So I obey God. So you don't sponsor yourself. Obey God.
- 38:51Speaker 4: Obey God.
- 38:53Speaker 2: And I tell people, your spouse is a mirror of
- 38:55Speaker 2: either your obedience or rebellion to God.
- 38:59Speaker 4: Okay, let's leave that. Praise God.
- 39:04Speaker 2: Are you with me, son? So God said, go and
- 39:11Speaker 2: anoint Elisha. So he departed then and found Elisha, the
- 39:18Speaker 2: son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of
- 39:21Speaker 2: oxen before him. And he with the twelfth. And Elijah
- 39:28Speaker 2: passed by him and cried, cast his mantle upon him
- 39:31Speaker 2: Do you know what that means?
- 39:34Speaker 4: The guy was just plowing.
- 39:38Speaker 2: Was walking Keep walking And then Elijah just passed And
- 39:43Speaker 2: just put the tin on him Say bye bye And
- 39:48Speaker 2: the next statement of Elisha showed to us that this did.
- 39:53Speaker 4: Not happen by surprise.
- 39:54Speaker 2: Do you understand what I'm saying?
- 39:58Speaker 4: What God wants to do to your life is not
- 40:00Speaker 4: a surprise package.
- 40:02Speaker 2: You must have a walk with him that is making
- 40:04Speaker 2: it a revelation day by day. Do you understand what
- 40:08Speaker 2: I'm saying? It is most likely you will not become
- 40:11Speaker 2: it if it is a surprise. God is not trying
- 40:14Speaker 2: to shock you. He wants to use you. So you
- 40:18Speaker 2: look at, he just cast the mantle on this guy.
- 40:21Speaker 2: And the next thing Elisha said is, so he departed
- 40:27Speaker 2: and found Elisha and who was plowing? Now verse 20 now.
- 40:32Speaker 2: And he left the oxen and ran after Elijah and said,
- 40:36Speaker 2: let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my
- 40:39Speaker 2: mother and I will follow you. And said unto him, no,
- 40:42Speaker 2: go back, go back again for what have I done
- 40:44Speaker 2: to you? What God said is, Go and anoint him
- 40:49Speaker 2: as a prophet in your stead. From the moment he
- 40:51Speaker 2: has dropped the mantle, he will become. Do you understand
- 40:55Speaker 2: what I'm saying? Do you understand what I'm saying? Elijah
- 40:58Speaker 2: would actually become.
- 40:59Speaker 4: If he didn't follow Elijah. He will.
- 41:03Speaker 2: In fact, what this guy did, he was not ready
- 41:05Speaker 2: to see him again. Because the idea of this enterprise
- 41:08Speaker 2: was to cast it and go so God can take
- 41:11Speaker 2: his life. So he was not willing to Elijah did
- 41:17Speaker 2: not plan for any followership. God has said, anoint him
- 41:21Speaker 2: as a prophet. The power is in the mantle. I
- 41:23Speaker 2: put the mantle on you. You go and become a prophet. Well,
- 41:30Speaker 2: the guy was wise. He said, let me go and
- 41:32Speaker 2: burn my oxen. Let me go and follow you. He said,
- 41:35Speaker 2: what have I done to you? What's my problem with you?
- 41:38Speaker 2: Go and do what you want to do. He said,
- 41:41Speaker 2: did I do anything to you? Have you ever heard
- 41:45Speaker 2: such a statement before? Did I touch you?
- 41:49Speaker 4: Did I do anything to you? Leave me alone.
- 41:52Speaker 2: Go do what you want to do.
- 41:54Speaker 4: That was what Elijah told the guy.
- 41:59Speaker 2: Because part of the things you must deal with is
- 42:03Speaker 2: the temperament of those carrying what you need.
- 42:08Speaker 4: That's the truth. That's the truth. That's the reason why
- 42:13Speaker 4: many can't come close.
- 42:15Speaker 7: That's the truth.
- 42:18Speaker 2: That's the truth. And they returned back from him and
- 42:25Speaker 2: took the yoke of oxen and they slew them and
- 42:27Speaker 2: boiled the flesh of the oxen and gave it to
- 42:29Speaker 2: the people and they did it. Then he arose and
- 42:33Speaker 2: went after Elijah and ministered unto him. That is the
- 42:38Speaker 2: moment the mantle came on him. He knew that that
- 42:42Speaker 2: was the end of an era. Please be seated. There
- 42:55Speaker 2: are some of you here that you are still enjoying
- 43:02Speaker 2: your beautiful careers. It's okay.
- 43:10Speaker 4: It's okay to draw a plan.
- 43:13Speaker 2: I say this is what I want to do, this
- 43:14Speaker 2: is what I want to do. But expect divine interruptions.
- 43:21Speaker 2: That's the truth.
- 43:24Speaker 4: Let me tell you something.
- 43:25Speaker 2: Hold on. Never marry a man you don't expect God
- 43:29Speaker 2: to interrupt his life. Never. From the moment you are
- 43:36Speaker 2: marrying what you are marrying, expect that there is someone
- 43:39Speaker 2: in the marriage bigger than you, and that's God. And
- 43:41Speaker 2: he can change the direction. So if you love a
- 43:44Speaker 2: man because of his job, don't marry him. Because the
- 43:48Speaker 2: job can change.
- 43:48Speaker 4: Are you with me?
- 43:54Speaker 2: And you too, that is doing what you are doing,
- 43:58Speaker 2: God can interrupt your life. And a day can come,
- 44:06Speaker 2: everything you have been pursuing as you know it, can
- 44:09Speaker 2: stop you. And you will never have to. Because now
- 44:13Speaker 2: there is a greater purpose. When I do the plan
- 44:22Speaker 2: of my life, and according to what was going on,
- 44:28Speaker 2: by 2023, I should.
- 44:29Speaker 4: Be having my second PhD. That's my plan.
- 44:34Speaker 2: And my lecturers will tell me, if you do not
- 44:36Speaker 2: become a prof, you have wasted God's investment. I remember
- 44:43Speaker 2: my HOD came, called me to the lab. I said,
- 44:47Speaker 2: I know you are the fellowship president. I know you
- 44:50Speaker 2: love God. But I just want to beg you, there's
- 44:53Speaker 2: a lot more you can contribute to health sector and humanity.
- 44:57Speaker 4: If you go further, I looked at her. I said,
- 45:02Speaker 4: this art only beats for one thing.
- 45:05Speaker 7: Only one thing.
- 45:07Speaker 2: It is beautiful when you know where you are going
- 45:08Speaker 2: and you burn all your bridges and stay there.
- 45:13Speaker 4: Stay there with. With serious focus. Are you with me now?
- 45:18Speaker 2: Very serious what?
- 45:19Speaker 7: Focus.
- 45:21Speaker 2: Serious focus.
- 45:22Speaker 4: Praise God.
- 45:23Speaker 2: Hallelujah. I said praise God. Is somebody following me now? Yeah.
- 45:30Speaker 2: The guy went there. He said what am I to
- 45:31Speaker 2: do with you? He burnt everything. Burnt the oxen. Burnt
- 45:35Speaker 2: all those things. And he began to follow.
- 45:39Speaker 4: Expect interruptions.
- 45:45Speaker 9: Expect interruptions.
- 45:50Speaker 2: When I was living in Ibadan, the pastor, a resident
- 45:55Speaker 2: pastor called me. And he knelt down. Said, you have
- 46:00Speaker 2: left a very big shoe for us to fill. How
- 46:03Speaker 2: do we fill this? I said, there's nothing I have
- 46:06Speaker 2: done you can't do. There's nothing. He said, but if
- 46:11Speaker 2: I was talking to anybody else, I would stop there.
- 46:13Speaker 2: But I will give you one note. Say but there
- 46:15Speaker 2: is one.
- 46:16Speaker 4: That you will have to pursue.
- 46:18Speaker 2: I say you can. Pastor larger congregation than me. You can.
- 46:22Speaker 2: Because I am not a pastor. That's why we have
- 46:26Speaker 2: resident pastor here. I am not. If I stay and
- 46:31Speaker 2: pastor you.
- 46:32Speaker 4: Myself.
- 46:34Speaker 2: My weight will be too much on you. The pastor
- 46:40Speaker 2: will sit down. Do counseling.
- 46:42Speaker 4: All those things. I have the patience through training. But
- 46:47Speaker 4: it does not change the fact because.
- 46:52Speaker 2: When an apostle becomes a pastor, the church will scatter
- 46:54Speaker 2: out of offense. Because you can't speak apostolically. The ones
- 46:58Speaker 2: who have cancer will say that's our word. Meanwhile, you
- 47:00Speaker 2: are speaking by inspiration. So for a church to grow,
- 47:03Speaker 2: let there be a pastor. Are you with me now?
- 47:09Speaker 2: I say, but there is one that I have. That
- 47:13Speaker 2: that one you have to pursue. I said, bulk of
- 47:15Speaker 2: the people I pastor here, bulk of them, they will
- 47:20Speaker 2: future in God's agenda.
- 47:24Speaker 4: I said, that one, you have to pursue that one.
- 47:29Speaker 2: If not, you will pastor people that will have money,
- 47:31Speaker 2: but God can't find a vessel. Are you following what
- 47:37Speaker 2: I'm saying?
- 47:39Speaker 4: I said, but I sit down with people.
- 47:42Speaker 2: No.
- 47:42Speaker 7: No.
- 47:43Speaker 2: The calling that has been locked from the foundations of
- 47:46Speaker 2: the earth. The wind will blow and expose it. That
- 47:50Speaker 2: something is here. And it will receive the necessary people.
- 47:56Speaker 2: So Elijah was going to just put his stuff and leave.
- 48:03Speaker 2: Are you with me? When God began to speak to
- 48:09Speaker 2: me about the wave. Massive wave of healing. There were
- 48:13Speaker 2: a few people that he said, oh yeah, start giving
- 48:17Speaker 2: yourself to them. One was Charles and Francis Hunter. Another
- 48:22Speaker 2: person is Pastor W.F.
- 48:26Speaker 7: Kumi.
- 48:29Speaker 4: And T.L.
- 48:30Speaker 2: Osman.
- 48:31Speaker 7: Hmm? Let me.
- 48:38Speaker 4: Tell you something. Let me give you this as a
- 48:41Speaker 4: cheat code.
- 48:45Speaker 2: If you ever have a vision and you saw that
- 48:48Speaker 2: something moved, a mantle was transferred from a person to you,
- 48:54Speaker 2: if you don't begin to give yourself to the wisdom
- 48:59Speaker 2: flowing from that person, you won't carry it. That's why
- 49:03Speaker 2: you can see that you had the vision but you
- 49:05Speaker 2: went back to being ordinary.
- 49:12Speaker 4: Are you with me?
- 49:18Speaker 7: Thank you.
- 49:24Speaker 2: Followership is not when I have chance. Followership is pursuit.
- 49:32Speaker 4: And let me tell you this.
- 49:38Speaker 2: Let me tell you this. I think I was having
- 49:41Speaker 2: a mentorship session. And people were asking, I don't know
- 49:44Speaker 2: if you follow the mentorship. You follow the mentorship sessions.
- 49:48Speaker 2: Some of you should need to be on some of
- 49:51Speaker 2: these platforms.
- 49:53Speaker 4: I only used to announce this platform once.
- 49:55Speaker 2: Once. The first day we announced the platform, about nine
- 49:59Speaker 2: or ten or so people registered. I don't announce it again.
- 50:07Speaker 2: So I saw that many ministers were asking questions. Because
- 50:09Speaker 2: they were pastoring small ministries. And people were not cooperating.
- 50:19Speaker 2: You have a ministry you are running. People have not
- 50:22Speaker 2: discerned you. So it is informing rebellion. Like a desiccant attitude.
- 50:30Speaker 2: Followership is to the degree that people have light. Nobody
- 50:34Speaker 2: can follow beyond the revelation they have. The same person
- 50:36Speaker 2: with light will follow others. The issue is not that
- 50:40Speaker 2: the leader increased in stature. You are the one who
- 50:41Speaker 2: was blind. Are you with me now? Very important. One
- 50:49Speaker 2: day God just opened your eyes. Go and listen to
- 50:52Speaker 2: my message. This same Jesus. Go and listen to that message.
- 50:58Speaker 2: I can recommend and recommend and recommend. Jesus has been
- 51:01Speaker 2: with them.
- 51:02Speaker 6: More than my father in heaven.
- 51:06Speaker 2: Do you know That they knew Jesus was the son
- 51:09Speaker 2: of God.
- 51:09Speaker 4: But they just knew he is the son of God.
- 51:11Speaker 4: We agree.
- 51:13Speaker 2: But they didn't know Jesus in his glory. Their eyes
- 51:19Speaker 2: began to open. After the resurrection. The tomb was empty.
- 51:25Speaker 2: And an angel sat on the stone of the tomb
- 51:27Speaker 2: that was rolled. And he appeared to them as one
- 51:30Speaker 2: who has defeated death.
- 51:32Speaker 4: Are you with me? Defeating death doesn't mean he rose.
- 51:34Speaker 4: It means he will never taste death again.
- 51:39Speaker 6: And the whole.
- 51:40Speaker 2: And everything.
- 51:41Speaker 4: That was a level. The second level. Was in heart.
- 51:46Speaker 7: One.
- 51:47Speaker 2: When he was received to heaven. And an angel stood
- 51:50Speaker 2: by them. And they watched him as he ascended in
- 51:52Speaker 2: the clouds. And said. This same Jesus that you see
- 51:55Speaker 2: taking from you. Will in like manner return. The same
- 51:58Speaker 2: Jesus that I had with you. That drank with you.
- 52:01Speaker 2: That you were with him. If you know that the
- 52:05Speaker 2: whole heaven is wired after the same Jesus. That all angels,
- 52:10Speaker 2: including Michael and Gabriel. All archangels, cherubims and seraphims bow
- 52:16Speaker 2: at his command. That this same Jesus is the one
- 52:18Speaker 2: who made the heavens and the earth. This same Jesus
- 52:21Speaker 2: is God. That you are in the same room. You
- 52:24Speaker 2: are even made with God. If Judas ever saw it,
- 52:29Speaker 2: he would never betray him. Every action people take is
- 52:33Speaker 2: to the degree of light that they have. If Judas ever,
- 52:39Speaker 2: my father in heaven, if he ever saw it, meaning
- 52:45Speaker 2: that if the devil is looking for Judas in every ministry,
- 52:49Speaker 2: he will look for those who lack revelation of who
- 52:51Speaker 2: they are following. That is the protocol. And how do
- 52:56Speaker 2: you walk yourself to lack revelation? You don't listen to
- 52:58Speaker 2: the word. Count it as dunk.
- 53:02Speaker 4: Refuse to follow. Say what's there in Bible study.
- 53:08Speaker 2: You will always know the next person to fall through arrogance.
- 53:14Speaker 4: Because I know these things.
- 53:16Speaker 2: Sometimes I just look at people who just talk. Yes,
- 53:19Speaker 2: there's humility, but I'm seeing pride. I'm seeing that this person.
- 53:27Speaker 4: Are you with me?
- 53:29Speaker 2: I understand.
- 53:33Speaker 4: To just ignore it. Because of your consecration.
- 53:38Speaker 6: And do your part.
- 53:42Speaker 4: So you need to get that message.
- 53:44Speaker 2: Until John came in Revelations 1. And he said, I
- 53:48Speaker 2: was in the spirit in the last days. And it
- 53:51Speaker 2: was John up to heaven. And one standing before him,
- 53:54Speaker 2: his hair was as white as wool. His voice was
- 53:56Speaker 2: as the sound of many waters. His feet was as
- 53:59Speaker 2: polished brass. And he fell down as one that was dead.
- 54:04Speaker 2: And he touched him and said, get up. For I
- 54:07Speaker 2: must show you the things that must come to pass hereafter.
- 54:10Speaker 2: And it was the same Jesus that was his roommate.
- 54:26Speaker 2: I'm not saying this. I'm saying this for documentations. This ministry,
- 54:36Speaker 2: materials from this ministry will be used as templates by
- 54:39Speaker 2: the next generation. Now, God said he has willed it to.
- 54:42Speaker 2: And I know that there are consecrations that follows. And
- 54:46Speaker 2: they are severe. Are you with me?
- 54:50Speaker 4: They are severe. They are severe.
- 54:53Speaker 2: If I ever get myself into controversy, I know that.
- 54:58Speaker 4: Agreement will leave.
- 55:00Speaker 2: Because God will not raise inexorable sentiments Let me leave it.
- 55:11Speaker 2: A time is coming in Abuja. People will be running
- 55:15Speaker 2: to church on Sunday. Running. And this is not even
- 55:22Speaker 2: the final city we are in. So you better do
- 55:27Speaker 2: it now. I'm not trying to pastor mega churches. I'm
- 55:30Speaker 2: raising men that will. I don't think if the church grows,
- 55:37Speaker 2: I stay there. We say this when we die.
- 55:39Speaker 6: No.
- 55:40Speaker 2: I go to another place. Anywhere God says. Whether it's
- 55:43Speaker 2: a hut or inside the sun.
- 55:44Speaker 4: I start again. This thing can work a billion times.
- 55:53Speaker 2: Ayudh mi. Ayudh mi.
- 56:17Speaker 11: How can you walk? When you don't know the way
- 56:39Speaker 11: of the wind.
- 56:42Speaker 6: How can you run? When you don't know the way
- 56:47Speaker 6: of the Spirit, how can you fly?
- 56:51Speaker 12: And how can you fly?
- 56:54Speaker 10: When you don't know the way of the wind, the
- 56:57Speaker 10: power at work in you.
- 56:59Speaker 6: Is bringing you.
- 57:03Speaker 11: In obedience to Christ.
- 57:08Speaker 5: He's bringing everything In obedience to Christ He's.
- 57:18Speaker 11: Changing everything In obedience to Christ.
- 57:27Speaker 2: Swallow your pride.
- 57:28Speaker 6: Tonight, come to the school of the Spirit. Don't you know.
- 57:38Speaker 12: In His hands are the keys to eternal life. A
- 57:44Speaker 12: little here, a little there.
- 57:49Speaker 10: Until the day we're done, His hour can be bringing.
- 58:14Speaker 2: Amen.
- 58:14Speaker 4: Let me give you a few words. You are following somebody.
- 58:21Speaker 2: Better for you to say that God did not even
- 58:23Speaker 2: reveal because God would not want you to be anywhere
- 58:25Speaker 2: because you have seen the future. He wants to have
- 58:27Speaker 2: the natural traits of commitment by revelation. Anybody can have
- 58:36Speaker 2: transactional character.
- 58:39Speaker 4: Anybody can have Anybody can.
- 58:44Speaker 2: And that's why the proof that there is something there
- 58:47Speaker 2: is that there will be many reasons to pull out.
- 58:49Speaker 2: And to each of those reasons, many who want what
- 58:54Speaker 2: you want will pull out.
- 59:00Speaker 4: They will.
- 59:01Speaker 2: In John 6, Jesus was ministering to 512 people.
- 59:06Speaker 4: At the end of the sermon, there were 12 left.
- 59:08Speaker 4: And he asked them, will you also go?
- 59:09Speaker 2: It means a man of vision is not moved by
- 59:11Speaker 2: church size but by the size of the vision if
- 59:16Speaker 2: the vision is intact many men will be drawn to
- 59:18Speaker 2: glory that's the fact that is the fact the reason
- 59:24Speaker 2: why we are not struggling.
- 59:26Speaker 4: Here is because there's a vision that is bound to deliver.
- 59:33Speaker 2: It cannot but deliver.
- 59:36Speaker 4: You can only begin to struggle when you don't know
- 59:38Speaker 4: you're a man on a mission. There's no struggle here.
- 59:45Speaker 2: No contemplation of any kind. Praise God.
- 59:51Speaker 4: Are you with me?
- 59:53Speaker 2: Very important.
- 59:55Speaker 4: Very important.
- 59:57Speaker 2: I'm just showing you secrets this morning. If you open more,
- 1:00:01Speaker 2: I will show you more. If you open up more,
- 1:00:03Speaker 2: if you test for more, I will show you more.
- 1:00:08Speaker 2: One of the best things that can happen to you
- 1:00:09Speaker 2: is for your highest of understanding.
- 1:00:11Speaker 4: To be enlightened. To be enlightened.
- 1:00:14Speaker 2: There are character traits you will see with those who
- 1:00:16Speaker 2: have revelation. See, don't blame any man for anything. They
- 1:00:20Speaker 2: don't have light. If they know better, they will do better.
- 1:00:23Speaker 2: And that's why you must pray for light.
- 1:00:27Speaker 6: They will do better.
- 1:00:30Speaker 2: Anything you are doing, no matter who you are, ask
- 1:00:32Speaker 2: for light.
- 1:00:34Speaker 4: Ask for light.
- 1:00:35Speaker 2: Ask for light.
- 1:00:42Speaker 7: Light. Oh Lord help me.
- 1:00:50Speaker 4: Are you with me somebody? I said are you with
- 1:00:52Speaker 4: me somebody?
- 1:00:53Speaker 7: Light. Light.
- 1:00:56Speaker 6: Eat, eat, eat, eat, eat.
- 1:00:58Speaker 2: See, look up. The reason why... See, when I ask
- 1:01:03Speaker 2: people to do something, and they do it in the
- 1:01:06Speaker 2: least possible way, I smile. Anybody who has found light
- 1:01:12Speaker 2: does everything in the best possible way it can be done.
- 1:01:20Speaker 4: In the best possible way.
- 1:01:24Speaker 2: It can't be done. Best possible. Somebody should get this done,
- 1:01:33Speaker 2: not do it in the simplest possible way. Revelation knowledge
- 1:01:36Speaker 2: make you stress yourself. Because you know the reason why
- 1:01:40Speaker 2: this must be done. By the grace of God, I
- 1:01:47Speaker 2: have the privilege of serving as a pastor in redeem.
- 1:01:52Speaker 2: And Where are the guys you call when there's a
- 1:01:57Speaker 2: need to go and till ground in dangerous places for
- 1:02:00Speaker 2: let's go fishing? I went to a village, they said,
- 1:02:03Speaker 2: just last week they caught the head of those who
- 1:02:05Speaker 2: came here to preach. I started a church there and
- 1:02:07Speaker 2: raised pastors there the following week. You can't kill a
- 1:02:14Speaker 2: man on a mission.
- 1:02:18Speaker 4: Praise God. I went to many sites somewhere. They said
- 1:02:20Speaker 4: the Fulani's are gathered.
- 1:02:22Speaker 2: They said we are coming. We are trying to get
- 1:02:23Speaker 2: police enforcement. They can't do nothing. And I didn't come back.
- 1:02:29Speaker 2: I didn't come back. Sometimes I'm traveling.
- 1:02:35Speaker 4: I will land. I will fly. The vision I have
- 1:02:39Speaker 4: on my inside is superior to that dream.
- 1:02:41Speaker 7: You will pass out at that age.
- 1:02:47Speaker 4: You will pass out at that age.
- 1:02:49Speaker 2: They will say, The meaning is, anyone who used to say,
- 1:02:54Speaker 2: I cannot come and die, should.
- 1:02:55Speaker 4: Not be given a chief sensei position in his father's house.
- 1:02:57Speaker 2: Because if you'll be given that position, you will walk
- 1:02:59Speaker 2: like you want to die. So believers who say, I
- 1:03:02Speaker 2: cannot stress myself, can never carry the mantle for the
- 1:03:05Speaker 2: next generation. It is for those who are ready to walk.
- 1:03:08Speaker 2: You will stress yourself. Nobody can stress me. Nobody can
- 1:03:14Speaker 2: use me. Churches, they used to do. If they don't
- 1:03:17Speaker 2: use you, you are useless. You'll be used to.
- 1:03:22Speaker 4: One time, Bishop.
- 1:03:22Speaker 2: Oedipus sent people to go and pastor 12 places. They
- 1:03:26Speaker 2: sacked some people because they were not productive. One young
- 1:03:28Speaker 2: man went to start posting online.
- 1:03:30Speaker 4: I said, watch out. You may hear of the rest.
- 1:03:31Speaker 4: You will not hear of this one. We know the
- 1:03:35Speaker 4: reason why he never delivered.
- 1:03:36Speaker 2: The art is wrong. When people are driven away and
- 1:03:41Speaker 2: they misbehave, that was the reason why they could not perform.
- 1:03:45Speaker 4: It was always there. Adversity only reveals. It doesn't hurt.
- 1:03:48Speaker 6: Don't they reveal us?
- 1:03:51Speaker 2: It's been there. It's always been like that. We say,
- 1:03:55Speaker 2: look at our wicked masters. Every time, look at what
- 1:03:57Speaker 2: they are saying. Look at what they are saying. You
- 1:04:00Speaker 2: cannot be against what I'm saying and carry what I
- 1:04:02Speaker 2: want to, what I have. You can't. I teach to
- 1:04:05Speaker 2: maybe a pastor over here and say, you see, look.
- 1:04:07Speaker 4: At now, look at now.
- 1:04:08Speaker 2: That person cannot perform, will not perform. Quote me anywhere.
- 1:04:12Speaker 2: That person will not perform. And I beg pastor's wives,
- 1:04:16Speaker 2: make sure.
- 1:04:18Speaker 4: Your home never become a place where you discuss your father.
- 1:04:22Speaker 4: Make sure.
- 1:04:26Speaker 2: Make sure.
- 1:04:29Speaker 4: My wife is here.
- 1:04:30Speaker 2: You can't tell my wife, she will tell you. Even
- 1:04:34Speaker 2: with me, the wife, she will say, no comment. No comment.
- 1:04:40Speaker 2: We went for a meeting, a senior minister did some things.
- 1:04:44Speaker 4: We did not like it, obviously. We got to the car,
- 1:04:47Speaker 4: first instruction.
- 1:04:48Speaker 2: We are never going to discuss what happened in this
- 1:04:50Speaker 2: meeting till Jesus comes. Because we need what that man carries.
- 1:04:55Speaker 2: If we discuss it, we will not get it. We
- 1:04:58Speaker 2: need what he carries.
- 1:05:01Speaker 4: Somebody can offend you and he still has something to impart.
- 1:05:04Speaker 4: Be wiser.
- 1:05:05Speaker 2: Choose between the offense and the future.
- 1:05:07Speaker 6: Choose.
- 1:05:11Speaker 2: And I'm not licensing people to not begin to use
- 1:05:13Speaker 2: people and become brutal.
- 1:05:14Speaker 7: No.
- 1:05:16Speaker 4: But there's something called emotional intelligence.
- 1:05:20Speaker 2: If politicians can have it, How much more you pursuing
- 1:05:23Speaker 2: eternal things?
- 1:05:24Speaker 4: You see politicians who fight together.
- 1:05:26Speaker 2: In primaries now. When one wins, you go and visit
- 1:05:28Speaker 2: the other one. So I need you in the general election.
- 1:05:32Speaker 2: For Christians, let's never meet again. No vision.
- 1:05:38Speaker 4: No light.
- 1:05:38Speaker 7: No light.
- 1:05:43Speaker 2: No comment. We will never discuss these matters. We.
- 1:05:49Speaker 4: That we are married does not license us to gossip.
- 1:05:54Speaker 2: And if a conversation will end in offense, we will
- 1:05:56Speaker 2: never talk about it. It may take me days of
- 1:06:00Speaker 2: being locked up and crying. It will never be a conversation.
- 1:06:09Speaker 4: That I see what this person is doing.
- 1:06:10Speaker 2: No. No.
- 1:06:17Speaker 4: So I beg pastor's wives.
- 1:06:20Speaker 2: You must consistently help yourselves to see well.
- 1:06:27Speaker 4: And that's why you hear people like Bishop, then Dr.
- 1:06:29Speaker 2: David Ibiomia will tell you, you can never disrupt your
- 1:06:32Speaker 2: work with my presence.
- 1:06:33Speaker 4: Because, listen to what I'm saying.
- 1:06:35Speaker 2: Anytime you are aware they disrupt somebody bad, even when
- 1:06:38Speaker 2: you don't agree with what they have said, a seed
- 1:06:40Speaker 2: has been dropped. Next time you see the person you remember,
- 1:06:43Speaker 2: you are receiving, see, the moment you have heard it,
- 1:06:46Speaker 2: you have been implicated. Can I come again? Anytime you
- 1:06:50Speaker 2: hear that people are insulting a man of God, by
- 1:06:54Speaker 2: hearing it alone, even whether you agree or not, you
- 1:06:56Speaker 2: are implicated.
- 1:06:57Speaker 4: You need to pray that the root of it dies.
- 1:07:00Speaker 2: Because if people gather to insult a man who has
- 1:07:03Speaker 2: something to give a generation, and you are part of
- 1:07:05Speaker 2: those who should give, and you join to write and say,
- 1:07:08Speaker 2: we've always known it's like this, or you have signed out.
- 1:07:12Speaker 2: I said you have signed out.
- 1:07:13Speaker 4: Of what he represents. We are not saying the fellow
- 1:07:16Speaker 4: be 100% accurate.
- 1:07:17Speaker 2: But you can. The wise will enter the place of intercession.
- 1:07:20Speaker 2: And let me say this to you. The cane of
- 1:07:22Speaker 2: those ahead of you is not in your hands. You
- 1:07:26Speaker 2: know why? At the end of the day, you keep
- 1:07:28Speaker 2: the child and throw away the cane. So once you
- 1:07:30Speaker 2: become a cane to your fathers, the fathers will be kept.
- 1:07:34Speaker 2: You will be thrown out. Keep this your mouth shut.
- 1:07:40Speaker 2: And move as one who have sense. When I see
- 1:07:43Speaker 2: people whose duty is to insult men in the body
- 1:07:46Speaker 2: of Christ, I'm not just bringing out inadequacy. I will
- 1:07:50Speaker 2: never see what they are posting again. I will put
- 1:07:53Speaker 2: every structure necessary never to see it. I may not
- 1:07:56Speaker 2: block them so they will not feel I'm offended. But
- 1:07:58Speaker 2: there's something called mute. I will not remember you exist.
- 1:08:03Speaker 2: Because you have chosen to exist to spoil my inheritance.
- 1:08:06Speaker 6: Do you get what I'm saying?
- 1:08:09Speaker 4: Don't sit in the seat of discomfort.
- 1:08:13Speaker 2: You sit down, people are gathering and they say, Apostle Selman,
- 1:08:15Speaker 2: all those things he's doing in the UK. Don't mind him,
- 1:08:17Speaker 2: we know him. And you have been trying to tell God,
- 1:08:21Speaker 2: I want that. And you sat down there. By the
- 1:08:24Speaker 2: time you are done, you have signed out. God help you,
- 1:08:31Speaker 2: you are not wise enough. You now even went there
- 1:08:33Speaker 2: and started commenting. One time people gathered somewhere and they
- 1:08:36Speaker 2: were insulting the man of God. And I went to
- 1:08:38Speaker 2: check those who liked. And I saw that a few
- 1:08:41Speaker 2: of our members liked it. Then I saw one of
- 1:08:43Speaker 2: my daughters' light. So I called her. I screenshot the
- 1:08:47Speaker 2: post and the light, her name. I asked, how? Ah,
- 1:08:52Speaker 2: she understood. I said, ah, I'm sorry, sir. Ah, I'm
- 1:08:55Speaker 2: so sorry. I said, I'll go out on like now.
- 1:08:57Speaker 2: Go out on like. But I also saw a few
- 1:08:59Speaker 2: others that I never asked.
- 1:09:03Speaker 4: Because I know them.
- 1:09:05Speaker 2: So I will also never trust them with the dimension
- 1:09:08Speaker 2: I carry. Because they will also insult me. I only
- 1:09:13Speaker 2: asked one person, you how? But I saw the other
- 1:09:17Speaker 2: guys and I marked them. That what we are doing
- 1:09:20Speaker 2: in this church, they are against it. Just a matter
- 1:09:22Speaker 2: of time.
- 1:09:25Speaker 4: Sir, you don't agree. You must live your life with wisdom.
- 1:09:28Speaker 2: Are you following what I'm saying? Wisdom is that what
- 1:09:32Speaker 2: you have said is correct. Doesn't mean I will attest
- 1:09:34Speaker 2: to it. Until I know the heart is coming from.
- 1:09:39Speaker 7: Be careful.
- 1:09:45Speaker 2: Be careful.
- 1:09:49Speaker 4: Let me tell you something.
- 1:09:53Speaker 2: One of the proof that you are somewhere in the
- 1:09:56Speaker 2: heart of your father is that he does not hold
- 1:09:58Speaker 2: back correction. The moment he corrects others and leave you
- 1:10:04Speaker 2: for the same thing, he's not messy.
- 1:10:07Speaker 4: He's judgment.
- 1:10:08Speaker 7: Let's leave it.
- 1:10:16Speaker 2: Though I understand people have bastardized what we draw father
- 1:10:18Speaker 2: in his own And turn it to slavery. You don't
- 1:10:23Speaker 2: destroy people's uniqueness because you're a father.
- 1:10:25Speaker 4: Are you with me?
- 1:10:26Speaker 2: Are you with me? I'm warning.
- 1:10:32Speaker 7: Alright?
- 1:10:35Speaker 4: That's why I said this is a bonus class.
- 1:10:39Speaker 7: I'm warning. I'm warning.
- 1:10:45Speaker 2: I'm warning because this generation will be stranded. The people
- 1:10:49Speaker 2: who carry what you need, God did not promise you
- 1:10:52Speaker 2: their perfection. But it does not change the fact that
- 1:10:55Speaker 2: they are carrying it.
- 1:10:59Speaker 4: Let's be careful.
- 1:11:02Speaker 2: Let's be careful.
- 1:11:05Speaker 4: Let's be careful.
- 1:11:07Speaker 2: I was surprised to see that some ministers still gather
- 1:11:11Speaker 2: to insult Apostle Selman after.
- 1:11:12Speaker 4: The UK meeting.
- 1:11:14Speaker 7: How?
- 1:11:17Speaker 4: It's not by filling stadiums.
- 1:11:18Speaker 2: So the moment you know it's not by feeling stadium
- 1:11:21Speaker 2: is when somebody has just filled it. You will never
- 1:11:23Speaker 2: get it done. Because you have said, anything you say
- 1:11:26Speaker 2: is not by doing.
- 1:11:27Speaker 4: You will not do.
- 1:11:31Speaker 2: Meanwhile, many of those statements are from jealousy. If you
- 1:11:35Speaker 2: really want to do what you have said is not
- 1:11:36Speaker 2: by doing, then you are an hypocrite. If God does
- 1:11:41Speaker 2: it through you, you will thank him. How come God
- 1:11:43Speaker 2: doing it through somebody and say it's not by doing it?
- 1:11:48Speaker 2: Are you aware that there were pastors that traveled from
- 1:11:52Speaker 2: Nigeria just to go and honor the meeting?
- 1:11:54Speaker 4: It's called wisdom, sir.
- 1:11:57Speaker 7: Wisdom.
- 1:11:58Speaker 4: They are not going to preach.
- 1:11:59Speaker 2: Just to go and honor it. Certain aspect of destiny
- 1:12:05Speaker 2: is for those whose pride is dead. It will check you, sir.
- 1:12:10Speaker 2: Some doors will not open until your insecurity, everything dies.
- 1:12:15Speaker 2: Look at what God was doing in the U.K., I
- 1:12:18Speaker 2: watch it with tears. My God, what is this? And
- 1:12:22Speaker 2: many of those mocking will never do cut out of
- 1:12:24Speaker 2: it in their life.
- 1:12:28Speaker 4: What you insult, you repel.
- 1:12:32Speaker 2: Let's be careful.
- 1:12:33Speaker 6: Let's be careful.
- 1:12:45Speaker 2: Let's be careful. How can you run when you don't.
- 1:12:53Speaker 6: Know the ways of the wind?
- 1:12:57Speaker 10: How can you fly when you don't know the way
- 1:13:02Speaker 10: of the Spirit?
- 1:13:06Speaker 6: How can you thrive.
- 1:13:09Speaker 10: When you don't know the way of the wind, the
- 1:13:13Speaker 10: power at work in you, bringing everything.
- 1:13:20Speaker 6: In obedience to Christ.
- 1:13:23Speaker 8: Changing everything.
- 1:13:25Speaker 6: Changing everything.
- 1:13:28Speaker 4: In obedience.
- 1:13:29Speaker 6: In obedience to Christ.
- 1:13:32Speaker 2: Transforming everything.
- 1:13:34Speaker 6: Transforming everything.
- 1:13:37Speaker 8: In obedience to Christ.
- 1:13:41Speaker 11: Swallow your pride tonight.
- 1:13:47Speaker 12: Come to the school of the spirit don't you know
- 1:13:56Speaker 12: in his hand.
- 1:14:01Speaker 11: Yeah A little here A little there Until the day
- 1:14:08Speaker 11: we're done It's.
- 1:14:09Speaker 6: At work here.
- 1:14:10Speaker 5: Working everything In obedience to Christ.
- 1:14:17Speaker 6: I want.
- 1:14:19Speaker 2: Us to sing that song out of the ashes.
- 1:14:24Speaker 12: Of my dying today.
- 1:14:29Speaker 5: I see the breaking of a brand new day.
- 1:14:35Speaker 8: In the wisdom name of the Lord, the Lord is glorified.
- 1:14:46Speaker 12: I see the breaking of a brand new day.
- 1:14:56Speaker 5: Amen, amen.
- 1:15:02Speaker 2: Amen and amen. Now here is the wisdom of what
- 1:15:09Speaker 2: I'm showing you. After Elijah has gone to burn everything
- 1:15:14Speaker 2: and fed people with them, there's another wisdom. It is
- 1:15:22Speaker 2: often quite common That when God is trying to change
- 1:15:27Speaker 2: the trajectory of your life. Now, hear what I'm about
- 1:15:29Speaker 2: to say. The serious one. And you don't have to agree.
- 1:15:35Speaker 2: He will not allow you to keep the dividends of
- 1:15:37Speaker 2: the past. He wants you to enter the new with faith.
- 1:15:42Speaker 2: That is, hold on.
- 1:15:44Speaker 4: Are you with me? Are you following me? God said
- 1:15:49Speaker 4: you are going to leave that banking and then follow me.
- 1:15:52Speaker 2: Now say yes, yes.
- 1:15:53Speaker 4: I would have saved enough.
- 1:15:56Speaker 2: No.
- 1:15:57Speaker 4: You will not come with bulletproof.
- 1:16:05Speaker 2: Anytime you are following God and you have gathered victuals,
- 1:16:09Speaker 2: so in case if God fails, that's not the work
- 1:16:12Speaker 2: of faith. He will strip you. So all that is
- 1:16:17Speaker 2: left with you is himself. What does he mean to
- 1:16:20Speaker 2: be blessed? You are blessed when all you have is God. Anything,
- 1:16:24Speaker 2: any instruction that lives with God as your only option
- 1:16:28Speaker 2: is called the blessing. All these are mudguards. He will
- 1:16:33Speaker 2: collect them. And that's what happened to Elijah.
- 1:16:36Speaker 6: He knew.
- 1:16:37Speaker 2: So this guy has known something about God. He bought everything.
- 1:16:41Speaker 2: And he followed after Elijah. And the Bible said to
- 1:16:44Speaker 2: minister to him. You cannot successfully carry what a man
- 1:16:50Speaker 2: carries if you have not found a way to minister
- 1:16:51Speaker 2: to the person. And the word minister to him means
- 1:16:54Speaker 2: to serve. You must find a serving capacity.
- 1:17:05Speaker 4: Are you with me? I can't go to certain people's
- 1:17:10Speaker 4: ministries to serve.
- 1:17:11Speaker 2: Because God has given me a work.
- 1:17:14Speaker 4: But there are better ways to serve.
- 1:17:22Speaker 2: The moment our ministry began partnering with Apostle Selman directly,
- 1:17:25Speaker 2: I noticed the shift.
- 1:17:29Speaker 4: I noticed the shift.
- 1:17:32Speaker 2: Because don't repeat what people say until you know what
- 1:17:34Speaker 2: they are doing. That you repeat it does not give
- 1:17:38Speaker 2: you the same experience. There are some underground paths. Are
- 1:17:46Speaker 2: you with me? Spirit of Light Church can partner with
- 1:17:51Speaker 2: Koinonia or Winners. Me, I partner with the Bessie. I've
- 1:18:02Speaker 2: lost you.
- 1:18:04Speaker 4: Yeah, I know.
- 1:18:06Speaker 2: Let me close. I cannot overdo. If you want the
- 1:18:16Speaker 2: organization man to you, let me repent. Let me repent. No,
- 1:18:22Speaker 2: you are not following. Let's bow our heads.
- 1:18:25Speaker 4: So this is the introduction.
- 1:18:28Speaker 7: Okay?
- 1:18:30Speaker 4: Let's pray.
- 1:18:32Speaker 9: Let's ask God for the art of followership and service.
- 1:18:37Speaker 4: This is a way to introduce this topic.
- 1:18:40Speaker 2: You see, you see, you see, you see, everything I've
- 1:18:42Speaker 2: taught you today, you have failed. You have failed, you
- 1:18:45Speaker 2: have failed what I taught you. Now, now, now, you've
- 1:18:47Speaker 2: not left here and you have failed. And I said
- 1:18:49Speaker 2: that the blessing is in the things that they will
- 1:18:51Speaker 2: not allow. There are instructions that will be given that
- 1:18:54Speaker 2: is not good for you. So when next I say,
- 1:18:57Speaker 2: I close, you protest. To agree is to lose it.
- 1:19:01Speaker 2: Where will you get it? Okay, God will tell you
- 1:19:04Speaker 2: at home. Why did not tell you before? Use your
- 1:19:10Speaker 2: mouth to fight for your life. Church is not a
- 1:19:14Speaker 2: place where you just sit down and.
- 1:19:15Speaker 4: Agree with everything. Ah, no. Protest.
- 1:19:18Speaker 2: If your wife would be calling you now and say,
- 1:19:21Speaker 2: I'm not doing it again, will you protest? Protest much
- 1:19:24Speaker 2: more for life. Are you with me? I don't want
- 1:19:29Speaker 2: to raise a church of people who are just....
- 1:19:34Speaker 4: Are you with me now? But let's close. because if
- 1:19:45Speaker 4: you don't learn this.
- 1:19:46Speaker 2: Culture there are many things you will never learn every
- 1:19:51Speaker 2: time you hear a man of God say you are
- 1:19:55Speaker 2: not following and you are it's because you are not
- 1:19:58Speaker 2: loud and those who are not are louder because they
- 1:20:02Speaker 2: can be perceived but you will have to speak to
- 1:20:04Speaker 2: be known.
- 1:20:09Speaker 4: Now I'm teaching you how to be a member. But
- 1:20:12Speaker 4: there's a wisdom to be seated.
- 1:20:21Speaker 2: If Spirit of Light Church desires what is happening in Winners,
- 1:20:25Speaker 2: Spirit of Light must partner with Winners. If I desire
- 1:20:28Speaker 2: what is happening in Bishop Oedipus' life, to partner with
- 1:20:31Speaker 2: Winners is to miss it.
- 1:20:32Speaker 4: There is demand.
- 1:20:45Speaker 2: And there are many ministries struggling because they have no
- 1:20:48Speaker 2: grace they are connected.
- 1:20:53Speaker 7: To.
- 1:21:01Speaker 2: You must find a way to serve those carrying what
- 1:21:06Speaker 2: you desire.
- 1:21:10Speaker 7: Service.
- 1:21:12Speaker 4: You are committed.
- 1:21:13Speaker 2: I went to Kenaland. And I saw what God has
- 1:21:20Speaker 2: built through my mind.
- 1:21:23Speaker 4: And I cried to God, me too.
- 1:21:26Speaker 7: I can't do it again.
- 1:21:29Speaker 2: Around such men, you don't seek for what you can
- 1:21:31Speaker 2: gain or for what you can give. And this generation
- 1:21:35Speaker 2: has found a way to insult each other. Say, Jesus
- 1:21:38Speaker 2: paid 5,000, now 5,000 is feeding the pastor. Now, let
- 1:21:40Speaker 2: me give the pastor two words that they are partnering with.
- 1:21:43Speaker 2: What makes the dead see? It's not like he doesn't receive.
- 1:21:48Speaker 2: It's like he doesn't give. Don't become a dustbin. Flow
- 1:21:51Speaker 2: higher too. Many people say God leads them to partner
- 1:21:59Speaker 2: with me monthly. I don't even know what they give.
- 1:22:01Speaker 2: Because I also have people on payroll. Once you send it,
- 1:22:05Speaker 2: fold it there. But you have helped me do that.
- 1:22:11Speaker 2: And the God who has sent me will help you.
- 1:22:13Speaker 4: That's the deal.
- 1:22:17Speaker 7: Praise God.
- 1:22:25Speaker 2: Let me tell you a secret. I was asking God.
- 1:22:31Speaker 2: We say we are leaving this venue. How come the
- 1:22:32Speaker 2: money has not shown up? To get out of this
- 1:22:35Speaker 2: place And he said to me preparation Preparation Sometimes it
- 1:22:41Speaker 2: is God's mercy that he holds back How? Have you
- 1:22:46Speaker 2: structured And stretched Let me leave it Something as small
- 1:22:57Speaker 2: as having more time for choir Can be the key
- 1:23:01Speaker 2: that will open the door or you don't know if
- 1:23:05Speaker 2: you are not told. Because you can be saying, God,
- 1:23:08Speaker 2: I have faith. I've done everything right. And God is saying,
- 1:23:10Speaker 2: you have not prepared them for that capacity.
- 1:23:14Speaker 4: Are you with me?
- 1:23:15Speaker 7: You don't know what I'm saying.
- 1:23:25Speaker 2: After Elisha watered the altar, rain fell.
- 1:23:29Speaker 7: That's that. That's that.
- 1:23:33Speaker 2: You have to ask for light. He went, he knew that, okay,
- 1:23:44Speaker 2: something is flowing. So it means after he had dropped
- 1:23:47Speaker 2: the mantle on him, there's another mantle that should drop. Meanwhile,
- 1:23:54Speaker 2: this one will happen through what? Service. I'm going to
- 1:23:59Speaker 2: show you the power of service and access.
- 1:24:01Speaker 6: On Tuesday.
- 1:24:06Speaker 2: Service of access.
- 1:24:07Speaker 4: And you saw Elijah repeating it again and again. Stay
- 1:24:12Speaker 4: back here.
- 1:24:13Speaker 2: Stay back here. Say, as long as your soul lives,
- 1:24:16Speaker 2: I will not. There are righteous disobedience.
- 1:24:21Speaker 4: Are you with me?
- 1:24:22Speaker 7: Yes.
- 1:24:26Speaker 4: Righteous disobedience.
- 1:24:32Speaker 2: One time, was it last year or so, they were
- 1:24:38Speaker 2: gathering something, they want to celebrate my birthday. Return all
- 1:24:44Speaker 2: these stuffs now. Call them and return their money.
- 1:24:55Speaker 6: Now.
- 1:24:59Speaker 2: So I observed something.
- 1:25:02Speaker 4: You know, for a pastor, it was a tough job.
- 1:25:06Speaker 2: Please demand, we are trying to send your account number
- 1:25:09Speaker 2: so you can collect the money back. So I asked them,
- 1:25:11Speaker 2: how did it go? They said, we observed three things.
- 1:25:14Speaker 2: Some sent their account without hesitation. Some said, use it
- 1:25:18Speaker 2: for something else. Some said, we will never take it back.
- 1:25:21Speaker 4: I said, those are three categories of people.
- 1:25:23Speaker 2: Those who sent without hesitation, you forced them. Those who said,
- 1:25:26Speaker 2: use it for something else, see their father as just
- 1:25:29Speaker 2: one of the projectors.
- 1:25:31Speaker 4: Those who say we'll never take it back.
- 1:25:33Speaker 2: Now you can go and use theirs. I've never used
- 1:25:36Speaker 2: it more than three times. Because when I stand before Jesus,
- 1:25:43Speaker 2: I don't want to have that I've taken anybody's anything.
- 1:25:47Speaker 6: Praise God.
- 1:25:56Speaker 4: Did I expect them to collect it?
- 1:25:57Speaker 7: No.
- 1:25:58Speaker 6: By revelation.
- 1:25:59Speaker 7: By revelation.
- 1:26:01Speaker 2: They knew what they were doing My fears are distinct
- 1:26:08Speaker 2: Thank God People can insult me for what I'm teaching
- 1:26:22Speaker 2: But if you hear you'll be wise So There's too
- 1:26:31Speaker 2: much burden in my heart. So let me just call
- 1:26:33Speaker 2: a resident pastor to come and wrap up.
- 1:26:35Speaker 6: Okay?
- 1:26:36Speaker 4: I'm going to stop it.
