- 4:30Speaker 1: Bless our hearts yet again. And to Jesus be all
- 4:34Speaker 1: the glory. Amen and Amen, God.
- 4:36Speaker 2: Bless you. Please be seated.
- 4:40Speaker 1: Allelujah, Praise the name of the Lord. I want to
- 4:47Speaker 1: teach on a very interesting subject that the Lord put
- 4:53Speaker 1: in my heart in line with the theme of the conference.
- 4:56Speaker 1: And I trust that in addition to all that has
- 5:01Speaker 1: come from this alter to us, God will enrich us,
- 5:04Speaker 1: he will empower us in the name of Jesus. God's
- 5:10Speaker 1: method has always been his world. I would always like
- 5:13Speaker 1: to emphasize this. The way he liveds men is through
- 5:17Speaker 1: his word. The way he empowers men is through his word.
- 5:22Speaker 1: The way he heals is by his word. The way
- 5:25Speaker 1: he lived is by his word. John one three. And
- 5:28Speaker 1: without him was not anything made that was made. That means,
- 5:33Speaker 1: outside of his participation, there is nothing that can find
- 5:37Speaker 1: itself as far as form or fashion or liberty is concerned.
- 5:43Speaker 1: Without him, was not anything made that was made? Allelujah.
- 5:50Speaker 1: Revelations Chapter nineteen will begin a reading from verse eleven.
- 5:55Speaker 1: I am convinced that the believers exploit in this kingdom
- 6:00Speaker 1: is predicated upon many factors. Among them is the depth
- 6:05Speaker 1: of your conviction, your persuasion about who God is, Allelujah,
- 6:12Speaker 1: and the integrity of his word. Your confidence is absolutely
- 6:16Speaker 1: dependent on your knowledge, the depth of your encounter the
- 6:22Speaker 1: antidoor to fear, the antido to doubt, the antidot to uncertainty,
- 6:28Speaker 1: the key to stability of heart. The true sponsor of
- 6:33Speaker 1: audacity in the kingdom is an encounter with the God
- 6:37Speaker 1: of the Bible. There is nothing else that will impact
- 6:42Speaker 1: the confidence that genuine encounterspring. So let's trust God to
- 6:46Speaker 1: help our hearts tonight. I have a two part series.
- 6:50Speaker 1: I'll start tonight and then will wrap up tomorrow. Faithful
- 6:53Speaker 1: and True Revelations nineteen from verse eleven, allelujah.
- 7:03Speaker 2: Okay, so let me turn just to read. Now. I
- 7:06Speaker 2: saw heaven even open and behold a white horse.
- 7:13Speaker 1: And he who sat on him was called faithful and true.
- 7:19Speaker 1: And in righteousness he judges and makes war. Next verse
- 7:24Speaker 1: his eyes were a flame of fire, and on his
- 7:27Speaker 1: head were many crowns. He had a name that no
- 7:30Speaker 1: man knew except himself. Thirteen he was cloth with a
- 7:35Speaker 1: rope dipped in blood. And his name is called the
- 7:39Speaker 1: Word of God. So the one who is called the
- 7:42Speaker 1: Word of God is also called faithful and true. The
- 7:48Speaker 1: first thing I want to establish tonight is that God,
- 7:52Speaker 1: as mighty as he is, as supposedly mysterious as he is,
- 7:57Speaker 1: he desires to be known, and he desires to make
- 8:02Speaker 1: himself known. This is the first reality I want to
- 8:05Speaker 1: establish in this conference. That God wants his people to
- 8:09Speaker 1: know him. He desires to be known in as much
- 8:13Speaker 1: as there is no sution of his understanding the Bible says,
- 8:16Speaker 1: in as much as through the span of eternity we
- 8:19Speaker 1: will still learn God, but he still desires that his
- 8:23Speaker 1: people get to know him. You must settle this for
- 8:26Speaker 1: a fact that God desires to be known. Generally speaking,
- 8:32Speaker 1: as revealed from Scripture, there are four biblical platforms by
- 8:37Speaker 1: which a believer gets to know God. It is important
- 8:41Speaker 1: that anyone who seeks to know God genuinely must submit
- 8:46Speaker 1: to the limits of the provisions that Scripture allows. In
- 8:49Speaker 1: our pursuing the knowledge of God. We are not giving
- 8:52Speaker 1: the liberty to invent our strategy. The strategies to knowing
- 8:58Speaker 1: God accurately have been provided, and our assignment is to
- 9:03Speaker 1: work in keeping with the platforms, four of them, just
- 9:06Speaker 1: for your knowledge, very quickly.
- 9:07Speaker 2: Number one.
- 9:08Speaker 1: The first platform that the Bible provides to help any
- 9:12Speaker 1: man get to know God is the Scripture. The Scripture
- 9:18Speaker 1: very quickly, Second Timothy, Chapter three, from verse fifteen to seventeen.
- 9:25Speaker 1: Second Timothy fifteen, it says, and that from a child
- 9:30Speaker 1: can we have KJV, And that from a child noo
- 9:34Speaker 1: hast known the Holy Scripture the Bible says, which is
- 9:39Speaker 1: able to make you wise even onto salvation, Allelujah. Second
- 9:46Speaker 1: Timot three fifteen to seventeen, thank you.
- 9:51Speaker 2: And then it says all.
- 9:52Speaker 1: Scripture is given by inspiration of God, all scripture, and
- 9:59Speaker 1: it is profitable for doctrine, reprove, correction, and instruction in righteousness.
- 10:07Speaker 2: To what end.
- 10:08Speaker 1: Next verse it says that the Man of God may
- 10:12Speaker 1: be perfect, the word perfect, there is matured entire thoroughly furnished,
- 10:19Speaker 1: even onto good works. So everyone who desires to know God,
- 10:23Speaker 1: the Bible recommends scripture.
- 10:26Speaker 2: In scripture, we find the character of God revealed. Are
- 10:30Speaker 2: we together?
- 10:31Speaker 1: The Bible contrasts the character of God as against other Gods,
- 10:35Speaker 1: other deities, and all other platforms of faith communications, and
- 10:41Speaker 1: the Bible leaves us with an instruction that scripture is profitable,
- 10:46Speaker 1: that on the strength of scripture we can know the
- 10:49Speaker 1: character of God, and we can know his modus operandi.
- 10:53Speaker 1: The Bible calls it his Ways number two. The second
- 10:57Speaker 1: way that the Bible recommends that we learn God is
- 11:02Speaker 1: through the thirdy of his names. Please pay attention the
- 11:06Speaker 1: toody of his names, the study of his names in
- 11:11Speaker 1: Exodus chapter three from verse thirteen to fifteen. Exodus chapter
- 11:16Speaker 1: three from verse thirteen down to fifteen, and Moses said,
- 11:21Speaker 1: unto God, behold, when I come onto the children of
- 11:26Speaker 1: Israel and shall say unto them, the God of your
- 11:29Speaker 1: father has sent me onto you, and they shall say
- 11:33Speaker 1: onto me, what is his name? He says, what shall
- 11:39Speaker 1: I say onto them? Very intelligent question. Moses is saying,
- 11:43Speaker 1: I will not have the audacity and the confidence to
- 11:46Speaker 1: stand before the nation of Israel, people who had been
- 11:49Speaker 1: in slavery at the time for four hundred and thirty years,
- 11:52Speaker 1: and then to confront the Pharaoh, not knowing who has
- 11:55Speaker 1: sent me. The problem is not the message. The problem
- 11:58Speaker 1: is I need and encounter with the God of the Bible.
- 12:01Speaker 1: And he said, next verse, the Lord said unto him,
- 12:04Speaker 1: I am that I am. He said, thou shalt say
- 12:09Speaker 1: onto the children of Israel, I Am had sent you. Hallelujah.
- 12:14Speaker 1: So we can know God by studying his names. You
- 12:17Speaker 1: see the names of God capture various dimensions of the
- 12:22Speaker 1: possibilities contained in him.
- 12:24Speaker 2: As you study the names of God, you learn God
- 12:27Speaker 2: is so fast that.
- 12:29Speaker 1: He has to fragment himself told his names so that
- 12:33Speaker 1: every believer who needs to learn him will pick his name.
- 12:37Speaker 1: And there his names are like a ladder into the
- 12:40Speaker 1: knowledge of God. So every time a manifestation of him
- 12:44Speaker 1: is revealed in the people. He captures that dimension in
- 12:47Speaker 1: a name, so that every time you want to learn
- 12:50Speaker 1: and see that dimension, you study that name. So he
- 12:54Speaker 1: calls himself Rapha Jirah see ken No, same god, different
- 13:00Speaker 1: dimensions of operation. And then he even names himself after
- 13:04Speaker 1: the experiences that men had with him, like the God
- 13:08Speaker 1: of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob.
- 13:12Speaker 1: Same god, but his operation with these three people are
- 13:15Speaker 1: very different. The God of Abraham talks about his portrait
- 13:19Speaker 1: of a blessed man, how he calls a man and
- 13:22Speaker 1: blesses him away together. The God of Isaac, how he
- 13:25Speaker 1: is able to supply and keep a man even through farming.
- 13:29Speaker 2: And unfavorable situations.
- 13:31Speaker 1: The God of Jacob is the god of encounters, that
- 13:34Speaker 1: he can turn a man who is a cheat and
- 13:36Speaker 1: a supplanter even to become away.
- 13:39Speaker 2: Together.
- 13:39Speaker 1: Now he says, for us, a prince, you have had
- 13:42Speaker 1: power with God, and you have prevailed. He touched the
- 13:46Speaker 1: whole of his time, blessed him. The Bible says, the
- 13:49Speaker 1: sun arose, and he called that place penny hell. For
- 13:52Speaker 1: I have seen God face to face, and my life
- 13:56Speaker 1: is preserved. So every time you desire and encounter God
- 14:00Speaker 1: recommends the God of Jacob or the experience of Jacob.
- 14:05Speaker 2: As the template.
- 14:06Speaker 1: He says, who shall ascend to the heel of the Lord,
- 14:08Speaker 1: and who shall stand in his holy place?
- 14:11Speaker 2: He that have what.
- 14:15Speaker 1: Yes or swan deceitfully. He says that this is the
- 14:19Speaker 1: generation of them that seek Him or Jacob. That means
- 14:26Speaker 1: you seek Him in the similitude of Jacob. So I'm
- 14:29Speaker 1: saying that you study the names of God. What Rapha
- 14:33Speaker 1: will do is not the same thing as seeking or Gyrah.
- 14:38Speaker 1: It's the same God, but the mode of operation as
- 14:41Speaker 1: captured in these names differ.
- 14:43Speaker 2: A we together, so we can use the names of
- 14:45Speaker 2: God as prophetic ladders to know God.
- 14:49Speaker 1: Number three, The third way that we know God that's
- 14:52Speaker 1: revealed in scripture is through the person Jesus. Jesus himself,
- 14:58Speaker 1: according to scripture, came as a revelation of God. Collosians,
- 15:05Speaker 1: Chapter one, from verse twelve to seventeen, but the verse
- 15:10Speaker 1: of emphasis is fifteen Collosians one. Please write for reference.
- 15:14Speaker 1: It says, giving thanks on to the Father which had
- 15:17Speaker 1: made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of
- 15:20Speaker 1: the saints in light thirteen Now it says, who had
- 15:24Speaker 1: delivered us from the power of darkness and has translated
- 15:28Speaker 1: us into the kingdom of His their son, the kingdom
- 15:31Speaker 1: of his.
- 15:32Speaker 2: Dear son, in whom we have redemption.
- 15:34Speaker 1: The Bible says, through the blood, even the forgiveness of sins.
- 15:40Speaker 2: Let's read fifteen together.
- 15:41Speaker 1: If you can see, ready, one to read who is
- 15:44Speaker 1: the image of the invisible God?
- 15:47Speaker 2: Hold on? Who is the image of the invisible God?
- 15:50Speaker 2: Jesus Christ.
- 15:51Speaker 1: So the mysterious God that the prophets did not know,
- 15:54Speaker 1: the mysterious God that many people just knew in types
- 15:58Speaker 1: and shadows, Jesus came as the manifestation. He gave form
- 16:02Speaker 1: and visibility to God. Are we together so that we
- 16:06Speaker 1: use Jesus as a reference to correct our prior understanding
- 16:11Speaker 1: about God. So whatever the prophet told us about God,
- 16:15Speaker 1: whatever was told us about God prior to his appearance,
- 16:20Speaker 1: he came as a marking script to edit our understanding
- 16:24Speaker 1: of God. So that whatever was not captured in the
- 16:27Speaker 1: life of Jesus, we have a right to vet it.
- 16:31Speaker 1: Even if the prophet proposed it, it didn't matter what
- 16:35Speaker 1: they said about God. In light of Jesus. Now, the
- 16:38Speaker 1: presence of Jesus now gives us the authority to question
- 16:42Speaker 1: everything they said about God that we do not find
- 16:45Speaker 1: in him. For instance, the Bible says, the Lord is
- 16:48Speaker 1: gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, and rich in love.
- 16:52Speaker 1: We have a right to question that statement until we
- 16:55Speaker 1: see that reality manifesting Jesus. It says, I have loved
- 16:59Speaker 1: you with an I've lasting love, and I have drawn
- 17:02Speaker 1: you with my loving kindness.
- 17:03Speaker 2: We have to verifye.
- 17:05Speaker 1: If we do not find that at work in the
- 17:08Speaker 1: life of Jesus, then we know that something was wrong
- 17:11Speaker 1: with the perception of the prophets or those who documented
- 17:15Speaker 1: anything they wrote about God. Are we together now, Yes, so,
- 17:19Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. The Bible says in Hebrews Chapter one, God,
- 17:22Speaker 1: who in saundry times and divers manners speak to us
- 17:25Speaker 1: in time past through the prophets, had in this last
- 17:28Speaker 1: day spoken to us through his son, whom he had
- 17:31Speaker 1: appointed to be heir over all things. Verse three, he says,
- 17:35Speaker 1: who is the brightness of his glory and the express
- 17:40Speaker 1: image of his person.
- 17:43Speaker 2: Upholding all things? The Bible says, by the word of
- 17:47Speaker 2: His power? Do you believe that? So?
- 17:49Speaker 1: The way that we learn God is by studying Jesus,
- 17:55Speaker 1: and the Gospels are a very fair compendium of the
- 18:00Speaker 1: work of Jesus on Earth. The synoptic accounts Matthew, Mark,
- 18:04Speaker 1: and Luke and John document the experiences of those who
- 18:08Speaker 1: were closest.
- 18:09Speaker 2: With him while he walked upon earth.
- 18:11Speaker 1: Are we together now so that when we learn, we
- 18:14Speaker 1: can learn his ways, and we can learn Him through
- 18:18Speaker 1: the lens of the gospels.
- 18:20Speaker 2: This is very important.
- 18:22Speaker 1: The fourth way, very quickly that we know God, as
- 18:25Speaker 1: revealed in scripture, is through our experiences. God so designed
- 18:32Speaker 1: our work with him such that our experiences are not
- 18:35Speaker 1: a waste, that there is something about our experiences that
- 18:39Speaker 1: can help us learn God. Job chapter forty two and
- 18:42Speaker 1: verse five. Let's read it together when we have it projected.
- 18:45Speaker 1: Is God speaking to someone already? Job forty two and
- 18:48Speaker 1: verse five. Want to read I have heard of THEE
- 18:52Speaker 1: by the hearing of the ear, but now my eyes
- 18:56Speaker 1: seeing THEE. In other words, someone had told me about you,
- 19:00Speaker 1: but now experience.
- 19:01Speaker 2: There is something about the believer's experience. Are we together?
- 19:05Speaker 1: God is able to grant you encounter Us through experience,
- 19:09Speaker 1: and it solelyd defies your knowledge of Him.
- 19:14Speaker 2: So these are the four scriptural ways with which the believer.
- 19:19Speaker 1: The believer is given the liberty to explore any and
- 19:23Speaker 1: all of these four dimensions. Any other strategy that you
- 19:27Speaker 1: invent to try to know God, you will find another
- 19:31Speaker 1: kind of spirit that is not the God of Heaven.
- 19:33Speaker 2: Are we together?
- 19:34Speaker 1: If it is outside scripture, if it is outside the
- 19:37Speaker 1: names of God, if it is outside the passing Jesus,
- 19:41Speaker 1: and outside of your experiences, you will never truly know God.
- 19:46Speaker 2: Are we learning? Now?
- 19:47Speaker 1: This is very very important? Now let me pick the
- 19:51Speaker 1: subject of names. Names are very very important. The Bible
- 19:56Speaker 1: talks to us about names. We see that when Jesus
- 19:59Speaker 1: walks upon the earth, he mandated Adam right from Genesis
- 20:05Speaker 1: to name the animals. And names were so powerful that
- 20:09Speaker 1: at a point where he encountered men, he would even
- 20:12Speaker 1: change their names, like Abrahm to Abraham, Sarah to Sarah
- 20:17Speaker 1: see first to Peter.
- 20:18Speaker 2: Are we together? Names are so important that God places
- 20:23Speaker 2: emphasis emphasis on names.
- 20:26Speaker 1: Generally, the name of a person reveals many things about
- 20:29Speaker 1: that person. Number one, it is a means of identification.
- 20:34Speaker 1: So if I say John, I don't expect everybody to
- 20:37Speaker 1: stand up. There will be an individual or a group
- 20:40Speaker 1: of people with that name am I right? And so
- 20:42Speaker 1: it is a means of identification.
- 20:44Speaker 2: Number two.
- 20:45Speaker 1: Names try to communicate areas of specialty and expertise. For instance,
- 20:51Speaker 1: if I say doctor immediately, it tells you. By mentioning doctor,
- 20:57Speaker 1: it tells you that person is a specialists in.
- 21:00Speaker 2: The area of medicine. Are we together?
- 21:03Speaker 1: You cannot hear the word doctor and be thinking a
- 21:05Speaker 1: capenter or some engineers somewhere.
- 21:07Speaker 2: Most likely your mind will go to medicine. Are we together?
- 21:11Speaker 1: If you hear barrista, you're not thinking a stethoscope and
- 21:14Speaker 1: an injection. When you hear barrista, you are most likely
- 21:18Speaker 1: thinking of a legal practitioner. So names help you to
- 21:22Speaker 1: understand the area of expertise. Usually a man's expertise is
- 21:27Speaker 1: captured in his name. Please follow carefully so that you
- 21:31Speaker 1: understand what we're discussing. Allelujah. Names also revealed dimensions of specialty.
- 21:39Speaker 1: So if I say you are a doctor, I'm saying
- 21:42Speaker 1: that largely your knowledge has been limited to a particular field.
- 21:46Speaker 2: Are we together?
- 21:47Speaker 1: Now? Names describe the area you have dedicated your life
- 21:50Speaker 1: to specialize in. This is the reason why when Moses
- 21:54Speaker 1: asks God, he say what is your name? What you
- 21:56Speaker 1: were saying, is what is your area of specialty? Because
- 22:00Speaker 1: he was trained in Egypt and there were thousands of
- 22:03Speaker 1: gods named after your specialty. The god of fertility would
- 22:07Speaker 1: not dubble himself in another thing. So he said, God,
- 22:10Speaker 1: I'm sure you are an expert in an area. And
- 22:12Speaker 1: God said, how do I fragment myself?
- 22:14Speaker 2: Now? He simply said, I am that I am. You
- 22:19Speaker 2: see that was a very very thorough description.
- 22:22Speaker 1: In other words, Moses, there is nothing you think about
- 22:26Speaker 1: that it's not possible within me.
- 22:27Speaker 2: I am not one of those.
- 22:29Speaker 1: Gods that has been mandated to specialize in an area. No,
- 22:34Speaker 1: when you talk of fertility, you talk of gods of agriculture.
- 22:38Speaker 1: They have their specialty. So you were as powerful in
- 22:42Speaker 1: those days to the degree to which you encounter the
- 22:44Speaker 1: various gods. If you encounter the god who prospers in
- 22:48Speaker 1: agriculture and you don't encounter the god of war, you
- 22:51Speaker 1: would have a problem in battle. And so he said, now,
- 22:54Speaker 1: how do I add you to that list of gods?
- 22:57Speaker 1: And God comes to Moses and says, no, I'm not
- 22:59Speaker 1: one of them. I don't operate like that.
- 23:01Speaker 2: I am that I am. Are we together?
- 23:06Speaker 1: So when you talk of Jyre. You talk of Raphi,
- 23:09Speaker 1: you talk of Sekeno. You are not talking of different gods.
- 23:12Speaker 1: You are talking of the same God who fragmented himself
- 23:16Speaker 1: in several dimensions to help you understand him. Allelujah, praise
- 23:23Speaker 1: the name of the Lord. Now the Bible gives us
- 23:25Speaker 1: a very interesting name that he is called in Revelations
- 23:29Speaker 1: chapter eleven, where we read he said.
- 23:32Speaker 2: He is called faithful and true. Please listen carefully.
- 23:38Speaker 1: If you do not understand this, you will not even
- 23:40Speaker 1: understand the Covenant, and you will not even understand faith.
- 23:45Speaker 2: Faithful and true.
- 23:46Speaker 1: It's not just what he does. The Bible says is
- 23:49Speaker 1: who he is. And that same rideer upon the horse
- 23:53Speaker 1: is called the word of God.
- 23:54Speaker 2: So that you are not confused.
- 23:55Speaker 1: So there is a dimension of God called faithful and
- 23:59Speaker 1: true that the Bible mandates with study. Hallelujah. The word
- 24:03Speaker 1: faithful is very important. To be faithful means, i wrote here,
- 24:08Speaker 1: to be consistent. To be faithful means to be trustworthy.
- 24:14Speaker 1: To be faithful means to be dependable. It means to
- 24:18Speaker 1: be dedicated. When you say a person and God in
- 24:22Speaker 1: this case is faithful, you are saying he's consistent. Are
- 24:26Speaker 1: we together now there is no variableness. He is trustworthy,
- 24:34Speaker 1: he is dependable, He is dedicated to be true. As
- 24:41Speaker 1: simple as that word is, you will be surprised how
- 24:44Speaker 1: hard it to be to find a meaning for that word.
- 24:46Speaker 1: You know what it means to be true. To be
- 24:48Speaker 1: true means to be accurate. To be true means to
- 24:53Speaker 1: be authentic. To be true means to be verifiable.
- 25:00Speaker 2: That you will vet what your fate is standing upon.
- 25:03Speaker 2: Are we together now?
- 25:04Speaker 1: Bible fate is predicated upon an understanding. There is something
- 25:09Speaker 1: about God you must know to be able to operate
- 25:11Speaker 1: Bible faith. So we say that when God is true,
- 25:15Speaker 1: we mean he's accurate, We mean he's authentic, no suspicion
- 25:20Speaker 1: in dealing with him. You're not dealing with someone who
- 25:23Speaker 1: is trying to play tricks with you. And then you
- 25:25Speaker 1: are dealing with a God that can be verified. He's
- 25:28Speaker 1: not afraid to be vetted. Are we together now? That
- 25:33Speaker 1: the Bible is a compendium of his track record through dispensations,
- 25:38Speaker 1: working with all kinds of people, so that it can
- 25:41Speaker 1: help you see that He is worthy of your trust
- 25:45Speaker 1: and your commitment. Are we together now? This is very important?
- 25:49Speaker 1: Faithful and true a God that is verifiable.
- 25:54Speaker 2: One who is not. He does not shake.
- 25:56Speaker 1: It does not depend you see, it is one's Once
- 26:00Speaker 1: God depends on another person for his stability, it will.
- 26:04Speaker 2: Be impossible for him to be faithful and true.
- 26:06Speaker 1: The quality of being faithful and true demands that there
- 26:11Speaker 1: is no other authority above you, as it is to God,
- 26:14Speaker 1: because it then means everybody is subject to the way
- 26:19Speaker 1: the authority above him behaves. Are we together now? I
- 26:24Speaker 1: am a man under authority. I say onto one go
- 26:28Speaker 1: and he goes, Come and he comes. Am I tom.
- 26:32Speaker 1: If the authority above you mandates that you take a decision,
- 26:36Speaker 1: even if it's against your conscience, loyalty demands that you obey.
- 26:41Speaker 1: So when the Bible says God is faithful and true,
- 26:43Speaker 1: it means that he does not submit to any other
- 26:46Speaker 1: person who manipulates his character.
- 26:49Speaker 2: Are we together now?
- 26:50Speaker 1: There is no other authority, so nobody can tell God change.
- 26:54Speaker 2: He is not obeying anybody. Are you understanding what I'm
- 26:57Speaker 2: teaching you?
- 26:58Speaker 3: Now?
- 26:58Speaker 2: Yes?
- 26:59Speaker 1: That when God the Bible says he is faithful and true,
- 27:02Speaker 1: it means when he says yes, there is nobody who
- 27:06Speaker 1: will threaten him into working against.
- 27:09Speaker 2: That which he has said.
- 27:10Speaker 1: I can say I want to bless you, but the
- 27:13Speaker 1: company that I work for can change my decision.
- 27:16Speaker 2: Because I submit to them. I will obey a will together.
- 27:19Speaker 1: But for God, there is no other authority above him
- 27:23Speaker 1: to manicure. If there was an authority above God, then
- 27:26Speaker 1: we can suspect his statements because it means his statements
- 27:30Speaker 1: will be subject to the authority.
- 27:35Speaker 2: Faithful and true, faithful and true, faithful and true.
- 27:42Speaker 1: I can tell one of the productol people meet me
- 27:45Speaker 1: by five o'clock, and he may intend to come there,
- 27:49Speaker 1: but Pastor can give him another assignment.
- 27:51Speaker 2: And you seien with respect to.
- 27:53Speaker 1: My dealings with him, he was unfaithful, but it was
- 27:56Speaker 1: not because of an intrinsic deficiency.
- 27:59Speaker 2: He had to submit to an authority above him.
- 28:01Speaker 1: So when we say God is consistent, it means true
- 28:05Speaker 1: all eternity what he has said.
- 28:06Speaker 2: He has said.
- 28:07Speaker 1: There is no government that will rise to threaten what
- 28:11Speaker 1: it is that he has said. Listen, if you do
- 28:13Speaker 1: not understand this, you will not understand the Covenant, and
- 28:17Speaker 1: you will not understand faith.
- 28:19Speaker 2: How do you stand confident upon something you have not seen?
- 28:23Speaker 1: And you can have the audacity to tell people I
- 28:26Speaker 1: know what I'm saying there has to be an understanding
- 28:30Speaker 1: something about God, not just what you want to obtain.
- 28:34Speaker 2: You need to know God first hmm.
- 28:40Speaker 1: Consistent, trustworthy, dependable, accurate, verifiable. Now there are two attributes
- 28:51Speaker 1: of God, very quickly, two attributes of God that make
- 28:55Speaker 1: him faithful and true.
- 28:57Speaker 2: Number one is called he in integrity.
- 29:02Speaker 1: A man is only faithful and true to the degree
- 29:05Speaker 1: to which he has integrity. Don't assume you understand what
- 29:09Speaker 1: I'm saying. Please pay attention Hebrews chapter six. Please from
- 29:13Speaker 1: verse thirteen integrity Hebrews six thirteen, he says, for when
- 29:19Speaker 1: God made a promise to Abraham, because he could not
- 29:24Speaker 1: swear by any greater you understand what I'm saying. Now,
- 29:27Speaker 1: the Bible says, he swore by himself, in other words,
- 29:31Speaker 1: to show you his determination. He was willing to submit
- 29:35Speaker 1: to a higher authority. In doing so, if there was,
- 29:38Speaker 1: he took out time to such. And since there was
- 29:41Speaker 1: no other authority higher than him, the Bible says, he
- 29:44Speaker 1: swore by himself next verse, saying, surely in blessing, I
- 29:50Speaker 1: will bless you to Abraham now.
- 29:52Speaker 2: And in multiplying, I will multiply.
- 29:54Speaker 1: The next verse he says, and so when Abraham patiently endured,
- 30:01Speaker 1: he obtained the promise.
- 30:02Speaker 2: Uh huh, he says, for.
- 30:05Speaker 1: Men verily swear by the Greater, and an aute of
- 30:09Speaker 1: confirmation is an end to all strive. Next verse, it
- 30:15Speaker 1: says wherein God willing more abundantly to show the heirs
- 30:21Speaker 1: of the promise the immutability of his counsel. The Bible
- 30:26Speaker 1: says he confirmed it by an oath read eighteen with
- 30:29Speaker 1: me as loud as you can, if you're a Christian,
- 30:31Speaker 1: want to read that by two immutable things in which
- 30:36Speaker 1: it is impossible for God to lie.
- 30:39Speaker 2: Aha, stop we might have? What we might have?
- 30:46Speaker 1: What one more time we might have what? A modern
- 30:52Speaker 1: day translation here is guarantee that by this too immutable
- 31:00Speaker 1: put things. In other words, God is saying, I know
- 31:02Speaker 1: you as men, You are frail, you vacillating your convictions.
- 31:06Speaker 2: How can I convince you that I am trustworthy?
- 31:10Speaker 1: And the Bible says he used a promise, In other words,
- 31:13Speaker 1: he made a commitment. But he said, Abraham, I know
- 31:16Speaker 1: you will doubt me because of the reality of the
- 31:18Speaker 1: things that you see, So let me add something to
- 31:21Speaker 1: it as my commitment.
- 31:23Speaker 2: And the Bible says an oath an oath.
- 31:26Speaker 1: That he said, if I told you that I will
- 31:29Speaker 1: bless you, you can believe that I will do it.
- 31:32Speaker 1: And in case doubt wants to creep up in your mind,
- 31:35Speaker 1: remember that it was not only a promise that I made,
- 31:38Speaker 1: but that there is an ought upon it.
- 31:42Speaker 2: Do you know what an oath is?
- 31:45Speaker 1: An oath is a self inflicting this advantage you bring
- 31:49Speaker 1: to yourself in case you do not keep your word.
- 31:54Speaker 1: Are we together now that you make a commitment and
- 31:58Speaker 1: you say, if for any reason I default, I met
- 32:01Speaker 1: out these judgments upon myself or whoever it is that
- 32:05Speaker 1: is making that oath. And the Bible says, by the
- 32:10Speaker 1: consciousness of that promise and that.
- 32:12Speaker 2: Oath, the believer may find.
- 32:14Speaker 1: A consolation that when God speaks, when he says I
- 32:18Speaker 1: am doing something, he has the integrity. Please say integrity.
- 32:24Speaker 1: My Bible says God is not a man, that he
- 32:28Speaker 1: should lie numbers twenty three nineteen. This is a very
- 32:32Speaker 1: very interesting statement. God is not a man. God became
- 32:38Speaker 1: a man, But God is not a man. He became
- 32:42Speaker 1: a man. Are we together now for the purpose of redemption.
- 32:46Speaker 1: Jesus is today seated at the right hand of the
- 32:49Speaker 1: Father as man.
- 32:50Speaker 2: The God, Man, are we together now? But God is
- 32:54Speaker 2: not a man that he should lie.
- 32:57Speaker 1: He's telling you that men have a weakness by read
- 33:00Speaker 1: of wearing a mortal body.
- 33:02Speaker 2: They lie.
- 33:03Speaker 1: To lie does not mean to say something untrue. To
- 33:06Speaker 1: lie means that you cannot make true what you say.
- 33:12Speaker 1: There are two dimensions to lie. Number one is and
- 33:16Speaker 1: un true information, But the other one is lack of
- 33:20Speaker 1: capacity to make what I say become.
- 33:23Speaker 2: It is still a lie.
- 33:24Speaker 1: So the Bible says God is not like men. In
- 33:27Speaker 1: other words, I can say I want to help you.
- 33:29Speaker 1: My desire is sincere, but the where without to make
- 33:32Speaker 1: it happen I do not have. With respect to that statement,
- 33:35Speaker 1: I have become a liar. So the Bible says God
- 33:39Speaker 1: is not a man that he should lie. In other words,
- 33:43Speaker 1: before he speaks, he vets his ability to bring it
- 33:46Speaker 1: to past.
- 33:47Speaker 2: Everything you see God say is.
- 33:49Speaker 1: A conclusion that he has come within himself, that it
- 33:53Speaker 1: is within my power to make good what I have said.
- 33:56Speaker 1: Say integrity. One more tim saying integrity. I'm saying this
- 34:03Speaker 1: because when a man works with God, God is going
- 34:08Speaker 1: to give you instructions and tell you things that except
- 34:12Speaker 1: you have this background knowledge, there is no basis of
- 34:16Speaker 1: believing and working with God, you will take risks that
- 34:19Speaker 1: do not make sense. The basis of your audacity is
- 34:22Speaker 1: what I am sharing with you that while your optical
- 34:25Speaker 1: eyes cannot see anything that is as at yet appearing,
- 34:30Speaker 1: but your conviction is the fact that God is.
- 34:32Speaker 2: Not a man.
- 34:34Speaker 1: And so when situations and circumstances try to threaten your confidence,
- 34:38Speaker 1: you are reminded again that God is.
- 34:41Speaker 2: Not a man. That you should lie. Do you know
- 34:45Speaker 2: what that means?
- 34:46Speaker 1: If for any reason, by mistake, God calls a shepherd
- 34:52Speaker 1: a king, he becomes a king immediately.
- 34:56Speaker 2: It's not that God. How do I explain this? Now?
- 35:02Speaker 1: Listen, there is a system within the economy of God
- 35:06Speaker 1: that makes sure that what he says comes to pass.
- 35:10Speaker 2: Are we together now? Yes?
- 35:13Speaker 1: This is why, in making men become like him, he
- 35:17Speaker 1: equipped us also with the agencies that make our words
- 35:20Speaker 1: come to pass.
- 35:21Speaker 2: He gave us the Holy Spirit. He gave us his
- 35:23Speaker 2: name so that we will function like him. Are we
- 35:26Speaker 2: together now? Integrity? Integrity.
- 35:31Speaker 1: I do not know anyone who has worked with God
- 35:35Speaker 1: and has commanded levels of exploits in life who has
- 35:38Speaker 1: not taken giant lips of faith that does not make
- 35:42Speaker 1: sense risks that you cannot explain. In the Kingdom, the
- 35:46Speaker 1: spelling of faith is our iesk. One more time oursk.
- 35:51Speaker 1: That is the correct spelling of faith. How do God
- 36:00Speaker 1: move his servant to come to the good land here
- 36:02Speaker 1: and then to see? When God talks to you, he
- 36:05Speaker 1: does not talk as if he's talking to a man.
- 36:08Speaker 1: He talks as if he's talking to himself, because it
- 36:11Speaker 1: is his ability that will bring what he is said
- 36:13Speaker 1: to pass.
- 36:14Speaker 2: One of the ways you know it.
- 36:15Speaker 1: Is God that is leading you is because the version
- 36:18Speaker 1: of you hearing will not be the version that to.
- 36:21Speaker 2: Produce that result. Every time God tells you what you
- 36:24Speaker 2: can do, it was not God that you heard. Are
- 36:33Speaker 2: we learning?
- 36:36Speaker 1: So God looks at you and says, go and raise
- 36:39Speaker 1: nations across the globe. Now he's speaking as if it's
- 36:42Speaker 1: not aware you need a visa. He's speaking as if
- 36:44Speaker 1: it's not aware you need partners.
- 36:46Speaker 2: You see.
- 36:47Speaker 1: He's saying that because there is something within him that
- 36:50Speaker 1: sponsors what he says. Number one is his integrity. Someone
- 36:55Speaker 1: shouted saying integrity. Let every doubt and every hear fear
- 37:00Speaker 1: here you shout say integrity. It comes from the word integer.
- 37:07Speaker 1: Same within us without God does not make a statement,
- 37:12Speaker 1: and then he goes back feeling insecure.
- 37:14Speaker 2: Why did I do this? Now?
- 37:19Speaker 1: His integrity that by these two immutable things, by these
- 37:26Speaker 1: two immutable things. Number two, the second attribute that makes
- 37:33Speaker 1: God faithful and true.
- 37:35Speaker 2: Is his power or his ability. This is very important.
- 37:41Speaker 1: Exodus chapter fifteen, from verse six to eleven.
- 37:45Speaker 2: His ability. Now, you can have the desire to be true,
- 37:49Speaker 2: but you may not have the wherewiout to make it happen.
- 37:53Speaker 2: Are we together? Yes, I can tell you I want
- 37:57Speaker 2: to pay your school.
- 37:57Speaker 1: Fees, and I sincerely desire. The problem is not integrity.
- 38:02Speaker 1: The problem is the way with all. I may have
- 38:04Speaker 1: made that statement also expecting someone to give me money.
- 38:08Speaker 2: Are we together?
- 38:09Speaker 1: So I failed not because I lacked integrity, but I
- 38:13Speaker 1: like the power, the ability, the where with all. So
- 38:16Speaker 1: integrity is powerful, but integrity is only complete when there
- 38:21Speaker 1: is ability, the Bible says Exodus.
- 38:25Speaker 2: Chapter fifteen, from verse six, the right hand, oh God,
- 38:32Speaker 2: is what Let me read it from here.
- 38:36Speaker 1: The right hand old Lord is to become glorious in power,
- 38:41Speaker 1: it says. The right hand old Lord had dashed into
- 38:44Speaker 1: pieces the enemy. Verse seven, it says, and in the
- 38:52Speaker 1: greatness of the excellency, thou hast overthrown them that rolls
- 38:58Speaker 1: up against thee. Let's read thou settest fourth thy wrath ahah,
- 39:05Speaker 1: reading to eleven verse eight.
- 39:08Speaker 2: Now hold on, you've been breathing all your life.
- 39:17Speaker 1: Will you not fear a man who used the breath
- 39:19Speaker 1: of his nostrils to cause this kind of thing? A
- 39:22Speaker 1: man's breath that can part a flowed heather and teether?
- 39:27Speaker 1: What then can his hand do? What happens when he arises?
- 39:30Speaker 1: Then so when the sammon says, arise, let God arise, Allelujah.
- 39:38Speaker 1: Now glorious in power, he says, listen to me. God
- 39:45Speaker 1: does not just have integrity. The Bible says power belongs
- 39:51Speaker 1: to him. God's power was not outsourced. Your power was outsourced.
- 39:56Speaker 1: You had to depend on the Holy gooes. You still
- 39:58Speaker 1: depend eternally on the Holy goes. But God's power does
- 40:02Speaker 1: not increase, It does not reduce. He does not grow.
- 40:07Speaker 1: I hope you know that God does not lend. God
- 40:11Speaker 1: does not grow. He is the perfection of all things,
- 40:15Speaker 1: the Senate of all things. If God grows, who supervises
- 40:20Speaker 1: his growth?
- 40:21Speaker 2: If God lends, who is the mentor Listen?
- 40:24Speaker 1: You need to understand this and your situation becomes small
- 40:27Speaker 1: in light of his ability. So when God says I'm
- 40:36Speaker 1: giving you a land in Legos, you don't see them
- 40:39Speaker 1: wondering where we like get it. The earth is the Lord's,
- 40:46Speaker 1: The earth is the Lord's. Everybody met land on earth.
- 40:50Speaker 1: Nobody was born with it. So nobody can bully that
- 40:54Speaker 1: prophecy out of you.
- 40:56Speaker 2: Yours is? Did God say it? And listen?
- 40:59Speaker 1: The Bible says, as for the earth, out of it
- 41:02Speaker 1: comes bread. It says, the increase of the field is
- 41:05Speaker 1: for all. That means there is your portion. This revelation
- 41:08Speaker 1: already gives you confidence there is my portion somewhere, because
- 41:13Speaker 1: God is the god of portions. The increase of the
- 41:17Speaker 1: earth is for all, not for some, And that even
- 41:20Speaker 1: the King is fed by that which comes from the field.
- 41:27Speaker 2: Are we together his integrity?
- 41:31Speaker 1: So when his God faithful and true, Notice what makes
- 41:36Speaker 1: the word of God powerful is that he is faithful
- 41:40Speaker 1: and true. That's why he told you that those two
- 41:42Speaker 1: names go hand in hand. That the word of God
- 41:46Speaker 1: is important. If there is no faithfulness and there is
- 41:50Speaker 1: no truthfulness, why do we believe God? Why do we
- 41:53Speaker 1: believe his word? Because content within the world of God
- 41:57Speaker 1: is his name, faithful and true. When you understand this,
- 42:06Speaker 1: now you can begin to delve into the matters of
- 42:08Speaker 1: the covenant and the matters of faith, having this at
- 42:12Speaker 1: the back of your mind, that God is faithful and true.
- 42:18Speaker 1: Now Daniel, Chapter eleven, place and verse thirty two p.
- 42:26Speaker 2: The Bible says, for sake of time. But the people.
- 42:31Speaker 1: That do know never said. The people that do have
- 42:38Speaker 1: never said. The people who come close to it says.
- 42:41Speaker 1: The people that do know their God, two things will
- 42:47Speaker 1: happen to them. Number one, capacity they shall be strong.
- 42:54Speaker 1: They shall be strong. They shall be strong. Number two,
- 42:59Speaker 1: they shall do not talk. It will start with speaking
- 43:04Speaker 1: what it must end in doing. There are people who
- 43:07Speaker 1: discusse exploits. There are people who wish exploit. There are
- 43:13Speaker 1: people who document wishes of exploits. But the people that
- 43:17Speaker 1: do know their God, they shall be strong, and they
- 43:21Speaker 1: shall two exploits.
- 43:24Speaker 2: Two exploits, two exploits.
- 43:30Speaker 1: The end of the knowledge of God and the posit
- 43:32Speaker 1: of the things of God is number one your conformity,
- 43:36Speaker 1: but number two the manifestation of divine possibilities that.
- 43:41Speaker 2: Happen to you.
- 43:42Speaker 1: So you may be frail by birth, but you have
- 43:46Speaker 1: outsource and intelligence that has translated you that your life
- 43:50Speaker 1: no longer becomes ordinary because there is an understanding. There
- 43:54Speaker 1: is a consciousness and orientation about God that has swallowed
- 43:58Speaker 1: up your limitations. You will dare things that ordinary men
- 44:02Speaker 1: cannot do. And the reason is not because you just
- 44:05Speaker 1: want to be bold. You are standing upon an understanding.
- 44:08Speaker 1: He looked at him while he was working on water,
- 44:11Speaker 1: and Peter wondered, it's this man and not narry man
- 44:14Speaker 1: at all. How could he be working on water. He's
- 44:16Speaker 1: heavier than I mean this He should sink. And he said,
- 44:21Speaker 1: this is a possibility that is also true for you.
- 44:23Speaker 1: He says, if it be Dow, bid me come call
- 44:28Speaker 1: me into that rem of reality. And he said come
- 44:31Speaker 1: if you believe that, come, and the Bible says he
- 44:34Speaker 1: stepped out, and he began to walk on water. And
- 44:38Speaker 1: because God asked him to come, even when he was
- 44:41Speaker 1: going down, he took responsibility to preserve him because God
- 44:45Speaker 1: is not a man. Listen carefully, that is how far
- 44:49Speaker 1: he can go to defend. Provide that you acted on
- 44:52Speaker 1: his word. Even though he was sinking, he said, I
- 44:55Speaker 1: can't let you sink. The problem is your understanding. What
- 44:59Speaker 1: I have in integrity I must still defend.
- 45:02Speaker 2: For my namesake.
- 45:08Speaker 1: Do you know if he left Peter and Peter got
- 45:11Speaker 1: into the water and died away together, now the prior obedience.
- 45:18Speaker 2: Would not matter.
- 45:19Speaker 1: It will still prove the powerlessness of God. For instance,
- 45:22Speaker 1: in that scenario and then his lack of integrity, God
- 45:26Speaker 1: had to hold him to say, it was on account
- 45:28Speaker 1: of your believing me that there is still a lot
- 45:31Speaker 1: too correct about your understanding.
- 45:32Speaker 2: But for now I will still have to defend you
- 45:35Speaker 2: because it was based on my word that you took
- 45:38Speaker 2: that step.
- 45:40Speaker 1: That is why you keep looking at champions as if
- 45:43Speaker 1: they will fail, yet they never fail. As if they
- 45:46Speaker 1: will fail, yet they never fail. Twenty years they are
- 45:49Speaker 1: still standing. It looks like they will fail, but there
- 45:53Speaker 1: is the jealousy of God that defends their understanding. He says,
- 46:00Speaker 1: look on to Abraham, your father, and to Sarah that body.
- 46:04Speaker 1: He says, I called him alone.
- 46:06Speaker 2: What a risk.
- 46:07Speaker 1: You call a man out of all of the Childians
- 46:10Speaker 1: as an unbeliever, and you begin to propose certain blessings
- 46:14Speaker 1: to him. In Genesis chapter twelve, you find that in
- 46:16Speaker 1: two one three, I will bless you, I will make
- 46:19Speaker 1: your name great. I will bless him that bless them
- 46:24Speaker 1: that bless you him that curse you will like curse.
- 46:26Speaker 1: And then the last verse, verse three says, in thee
- 46:29Speaker 1: shall all the families of the earth be blessed. You
- 46:32Speaker 1: are talking to a man who has no child, and
- 46:35Speaker 1: in that blessing there was no mention. I told you,
- 46:37Speaker 1: God does not talk to men like he's talking to men.
- 46:40Speaker 1: He's talking to a man as if he's not even aware.
- 46:45Speaker 2: This man.
- 46:48Speaker 1: Was in a state where his passion was to have
- 46:50Speaker 1: a son, and God is telling him there are nations
- 46:53Speaker 1: that will be blessed because of you, and he stops there.
- 47:00Speaker 1: The only time God ever responded about Isaac was when
- 47:05Speaker 1: Abraham axim and said, what will you do to me
- 47:08Speaker 1: seeing that I go childless?
- 47:10Speaker 2: Oh, here is a lasa, here is this?
- 47:12Speaker 1: And God said, no, you will have your own seed.
- 47:14Speaker 1: In other words, God was saying, I am so responsible.
- 47:18Speaker 1: Contain within this promise?
- 47:22Speaker 2: Are we together now?
- 47:23Speaker 1: For this promise to come to pass, you must certainly
- 47:27Speaker 1: have a child, or the wise the promise will not
- 47:29Speaker 1: come to pass. In other words, your anxiety is just
- 47:32Speaker 1: your being a human being. You're just acting as a
- 47:35Speaker 1: human being. Brought within this promise, it mandates that you
- 47:40Speaker 1: must have a child orther, wise it will not come
- 47:42Speaker 1: to pass. Abraham come out, counter stars, and he was lost,
- 47:50Speaker 1: counter stars, and he was lost. Finally Abraham said God,
- 47:54Speaker 1: so is this what you mean? That my children and
- 47:57Speaker 1: my influence will be like the stars of the heaven.
- 48:00Speaker 1: Finally God got the attention of Abraham. The Bible says
- 48:04Speaker 1: Abraham believed God, and it was credited onto him for righteousness.
- 48:09Speaker 2: Are we together?
- 48:12Speaker 1: We live in a world today where it looks like
- 48:14Speaker 1: God decided to isolate a few people and cause their
- 48:18Speaker 1: lives to emit some levels of excellence and power and grace.
- 48:24Speaker 1: But my Bible says the Lord, the same Lord is
- 48:26Speaker 1: riched onto all inasmuch as there is the election of grace.
- 48:30Speaker 1: But it is every believer's destiny in Christ to excel.
- 48:33Speaker 1: It is every believer's destiny in Christ to rise to
- 48:36Speaker 1: a level where your life becomes a.
- 48:39Speaker 2: Testament that Jesus is alive.
- 48:41Speaker 1: I want you to know that your producing results in
- 48:44Speaker 1: the Kingdom brings glory to the name of the Lord.
- 48:47Speaker 2: John Chapter fifteen, from verse eight.
- 48:49Speaker 1: It's as hearing is our Father glorified when ye bear
- 48:52Speaker 1: much fruit. So shall you be my disciples. John fifteen
- 48:56Speaker 1: and verse sixteen. You have not chosen me, but I
- 48:59Speaker 1: have chosen you and ordain you. He says that you
- 49:02Speaker 1: should go and bear much fruit, and that your fruit
- 49:05Speaker 1: should remain. Are we together? Efficient Chapter two and verse ten.
- 49:11Speaker 1: Paul puts it beautifully.
- 49:13Speaker 2: He says, we are his workmanship. Allah.
- 49:17Speaker 1: Of course, yeah, his workmanship created in Christ Jesus onto
- 49:22Speaker 1: good works.
- 49:23Speaker 2: You know what that means. We are the tools that
- 49:25Speaker 2: God uses to display his glory.
- 49:27Speaker 1: That every time God wants to make Nigeria Africa know
- 49:31Speaker 1: who he is, he brings you as his workmanship, the
- 49:34Speaker 1: status cape, the injection that is the workmanship of it.
- 49:37Speaker 2: Doctor. Are we together now?
- 49:41Speaker 1: And then chapter three and verse ten Paul was speaking,
- 49:44Speaker 1: and he said to the intent that now onto principalities
- 49:48Speaker 1: and powers might be made known by the Church.
- 49:52Speaker 2: The manifold, multifastted.
- 49:55Speaker 1: Wisdom of God, something about the excellency of God and
- 50:01Speaker 1: his person manifests through your life. It should compel all
- 50:05Speaker 1: and saundry to bring glory to the name of the Lord.
- 50:08Speaker 1: In Matthew chapter five, from versatin, it says you are
- 50:11Speaker 1: the salt of the earth, but that if the salt
- 50:14Speaker 1: has lost his saltiness where which shall it be made
- 50:17Speaker 1: salty again? It is good for nothing except to be
- 50:20Speaker 1: thrown and trodden.
- 50:21Speaker 2: On their foot.
- 50:21Speaker 1: But men, then, it says, you are the light of
- 50:24Speaker 1: the world. You are a city that is set on
- 50:26Speaker 1: a hill that cannot be hidden. Neither do men light
- 50:31Speaker 1: a lamp and put it under a bushel, the Bible says,
- 50:34Speaker 1: but they put it on a lampstand, so that it
- 50:36Speaker 1: will give light to everybody within the building. Verse six
- 50:39Speaker 1: Seed now says, permit your light. Let your light so shine,
- 50:44Speaker 1: not before spirits, not before angels, before men, that they
- 50:48Speaker 1: may see. He wants them to see your good walks.
- 50:53Speaker 1: And by doing so, it says, they will glorify your Father,
- 50:57Speaker 1: which is in heaven. There are dimensions of the glory
- 51:03Speaker 1: of God. Your life will never command except you know
- 51:06Speaker 1: that God is faithful and God is true.
- 51:10Speaker 2: There's no time to begin to tell you stories.
- 51:13Speaker 1: But you are seated right here in an auditorium and
- 51:17Speaker 1: under the grace of a man. That is proof that
- 51:20Speaker 1: the faithfulness of God and the reality that he is
- 51:23Speaker 1: true was not is that when the Bible declares that
- 51:27Speaker 1: God is faithful and true, he did not lie by
- 51:31Speaker 1: making such statements. Apostle how will the money for my
- 51:36Speaker 1: house come from this revelation?
- 51:38Speaker 2: Not a business.
- 51:40Speaker 1: Business only gives your revelation a room to find expression. Listen,
- 51:44Speaker 1: listen to me. Business and what you do in itself
- 51:47Speaker 1: by itself will not prosper you. You prosper of your understanding.
- 51:52Speaker 1: First your understanding of God, then your understanding of yourself,
- 51:56Speaker 1: then your understanding of the cosmos. So there are many
- 51:59Speaker 1: people who are struggling to labor, and they have not
- 52:02Speaker 1: constructed their understanding about God. They believe that arbituarily a
- 52:07Speaker 1: man of God. Respectfully speaking, you cannot get up and
- 52:10Speaker 1: be trusted with the graceful nations when you do not
- 52:14Speaker 1: believe that God can do much with you.
- 52:16Speaker 2: He is faithful.
- 52:18Speaker 1: When God says, for instance, in Deuteronomy twenty eight and
- 52:21Speaker 1: verse one, that it shall come to pass if THU
- 52:23Speaker 1: shall diligently happen.
- 52:25Speaker 2: To the voice of the Lord to do and to
- 52:27Speaker 2: observe all that I command you this day.
- 52:29Speaker 1: It says that you shall be exalted above all, say
- 52:32Speaker 1: all all the nations of the earth, not just Europe,
- 52:36Speaker 1: not just American, not just the Caribbeans, not just Asia.
- 52:40Speaker 2: He said, all ladies and gentlemen, All was not a parable.
- 52:43Speaker 1: All means all that means there is no nation you
- 52:48Speaker 1: step intwo that you should be rejected out of that nation.
- 52:51Speaker 2: You are carrying something within you.
- 52:53Speaker 1: The Word of God has mandated that all nations acknowledge
- 52:57Speaker 1: you as a blessing, and that all this blessings shall
- 53:02Speaker 1: come upon you and shall overtake you. Shall come upon
- 53:07Speaker 1: you and shall overtake you. My question is who is speaking?
- 53:11Speaker 1: Forget about what he's saying. Who is speaking? You need
- 53:15Speaker 1: to vet the who first, then you can believe the what.
- 53:19Speaker 1: Most of us are focusing on what he's saying, and
- 53:22Speaker 1: we forget.
- 53:22Speaker 2: About who is speaking.
- 53:28Speaker 1: If I tell you I'm going to give you, say
- 53:33Speaker 1: a millionaire, now, the first thing you do is not
- 53:38Speaker 1: to doubt the statement. The first thing you do is
- 53:41Speaker 1: to vet me as a person. Can this man bring
- 53:44Speaker 1: out a millionaire?
- 53:46Speaker 2: Now?
- 53:47Speaker 1: You see that if you have a problem believing what
- 53:49Speaker 1: God said, the real place of correction is not what
- 53:54Speaker 1: It is an encounter with the one speaking. When you
- 53:57Speaker 1: trust me, everything that comes out of me becomes believable.
- 54:01Speaker 2: Am I right on that? Yes?
- 54:05Speaker 1: If an ambassador or a counsulor of an embassy looks
- 54:08Speaker 1: at you and says I like you come and have
- 54:10Speaker 1: your visus.
- 54:11Speaker 2: Stamped ten years whatever nation by tomorrow.
- 54:15Speaker 1: Because you are aware of the status and the ability
- 54:18Speaker 1: of that person, and the fact that he's too serious
- 54:21Speaker 1: to be playing games with you, you start dancing without
- 54:24Speaker 1: a visus stamp, and if people ask you, they say, look,
- 54:27Speaker 1: most people have not gotten this visus you love, and
- 54:29Speaker 1: you don't know who spoke to me your own It
- 54:32Speaker 1: was a nachurance that spoke to you. But I had
- 54:34Speaker 1: the opportunity to speak with the Counselor so when you
- 54:38Speaker 1: carry the Bible and say I am the head and
- 54:40Speaker 1: not the tail, and you are acting as if God lied,
- 54:43Speaker 1: the problem is not the statement. The problem is that
- 54:45Speaker 1: you need an encounter with He who is called faithful
- 54:49Speaker 1: and true, faithful and true, faithful and true. Three Hebrew
- 54:57Speaker 1: boys caught up in the fire that at the sound
- 55:01Speaker 1: of the timbrel and instruments of worship, they will.
- 55:04Speaker 2: Bow to this ninety feet stature.
- 55:06Speaker 1: And from the place of encounter they came and said, listen,
- 55:10Speaker 1: we're not just young people who are intelligent or king.
- 55:13Speaker 1: We respect you, but in this matter we will not bow.
- 55:16Speaker 1: He said, our God will save us. There is something
- 55:19Speaker 1: we know about him. Are we together now? Yes, that
- 55:25Speaker 1: I can rejoice in the God of my salvation, and
- 55:27Speaker 1: that even if He does not save us, let it
- 55:31Speaker 1: be known to you that we will not bow. And
- 55:33Speaker 1: the Bible says that the king was angry, and he
- 55:36Speaker 1: made them to turn the furnace seven times hotter, to
- 55:41Speaker 1: a point that those who threw them were burned by
- 55:43Speaker 1: the fire. But this gentleman stepped in, and the Bible
- 55:47Speaker 1: says they saw the fourth man, faithful and true, and
- 55:51Speaker 1: the king.
- 55:51Speaker 2: Said he was like the sun. Listen to me.
- 55:56Speaker 1: The Hebrew boys never said, please come and help us.
- 56:00Speaker 1: They only made the more you would make your declarations
- 56:03Speaker 1: of faith. You put pressure on his integrity. That God
- 56:07Speaker 1: knows that you are saying it loud to the hearing
- 56:09Speaker 1: of everybody, that God has said in twenty twenty three
- 56:12Speaker 1: you will.
- 56:12Speaker 2: Not fail, you will not go down.
- 56:14Speaker 1: And whilst you are saying that, you are putting pressure
- 56:17Speaker 1: on His integrity, faithful and true, allelujah. Genesis twenty one,
- 56:27Speaker 1: from verse one and two. Who find somewhere to pray
- 56:34Speaker 1: Genesis twenty one one and two, someone who believes God.
- 56:39Speaker 2: I want you to read this as loud as you can.
- 56:43Speaker 2: One to read.
- 56:44Speaker 1: And the Lord visited Sarah as he had said, and
- 56:50Speaker 1: the Lord did onto Sarah. Stop stop, stop, don't rush.
- 56:56Speaker 1: You're going to replace Sarah with your name. And hold on,
- 57:00Speaker 1: hold on. Something in your life needs to hear this confession.
- 57:04Speaker 2: Now, are you ready?
- 57:06Speaker 1: Now?
- 57:07Speaker 2: One to go.
- 57:09Speaker 1: And the Lord visited Joshua Salman as he has said,
- 57:13Speaker 1: And the Lord did onto Joshua Salman. Hallelujah. Listen, listen, listen.
- 57:23Speaker 1: God never does as you want. God never does as
- 57:29Speaker 1: you wish. He only does what he says. So the
- 57:35Speaker 1: only way to.
- 57:35Speaker 2: Get him to do is to get him to say.
- 57:41Speaker 1: God is bound to his word that even if God
- 57:47Speaker 1: wants to move this way, he has to check whether
- 57:50Speaker 1: he has said that movement should happen this way. So
- 57:54Speaker 1: the only way to see the power of God is
- 57:57Speaker 1: to bring the word. That is why he matched the
- 58:00Speaker 1: quality faithful and true. And he said that save, faithful
- 58:03Speaker 1: and true is also the word of God. In other words,
- 58:09Speaker 1: when the Bible says, let the redeemed of the Lord
- 58:13Speaker 1: say so, they say so simply because they want God
- 58:18Speaker 1: to do so, and they are not saying what they want.
- 58:22Speaker 1: They're saying what he said that is consistent with what
- 58:26Speaker 1: he wants. So it will look like God is answering you,
- 58:29Speaker 1: But he's really answering himself. It is only that the
- 58:34Speaker 1: person who said it is you, so it will look
- 58:37Speaker 1: like your answer. And the Lord visited Sarah, not as
- 58:43Speaker 1: she desired, not as she cried. He only visited her
- 58:47Speaker 1: as he had said. And he did unto Sarah as
- 58:52Speaker 1: he has spoken. The Lord visited the man of God
- 58:55Speaker 1: as he has said. The Lord visited the family as
- 58:59Speaker 1: he has The Lord did onto the business man as
- 59:02Speaker 1: he has spoken. Don't expect it doing if you cannot show.
- 59:07Speaker 2: Me what he has said.
- 59:08Speaker 1: The basis for the doing of God in your life
- 59:12Speaker 1: is a rich capture and the believing of what he
- 59:15Speaker 1: has said.
- 59:18Speaker 2: Allelujah. Do you believe this?
- 59:23Speaker 1: Many years ago I read this scripture Deuteronomy twenty eight
- 59:26Speaker 1: and verse one, and I.
- 59:27Speaker 2: Saw that it said you will be exalted above all
- 59:31Speaker 2: the nations of the earth. I was in one room,
- 59:35Speaker 2: but I believed it.
- 59:37Speaker 1: Because the person who spoke is called faithful and true.
- 59:46Speaker 1: The dynamics of how it will happen is none of
- 59:48Speaker 1: your business, the Bible says, just as you do not
- 59:51Speaker 1: know the way of the wind, know how bones are
- 59:55Speaker 1: formed in the womb of Her that is with child.
- 59:57Speaker 1: So also you do not know the way of Lord.
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: There are times you will not see wind. There are
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: times you will not see rain. Yet the valley shall
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: be filled with water. Listen to me, ladies and gentlemen.
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: If you understand this revelation and you'll stay with God
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: to allow it sink into your spirit, your life will
- 1:00:18Speaker 1: become a mother, first to yourself and then to all
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: around you.
- 1:00:24Speaker 2: Hallelujah.
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: So the Bible is full of the speakings of God,
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: this Bible that you hold, and the ministry of the
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: Holy Spirit to help you understand the things that He
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: has said. Hallelujah. If he has called you blessed, you
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: are blessed. If he has called you favored, you are favored.
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: If he has called you lifted. Now, when you understand
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: He's in integrity and you understand his ability, are we together?
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: It now gives you the basis to obey, because faith,
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: in one word, is obedience. Performance is not just at
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: the instance of God saying it. Performance in your life
- 1:01:21Speaker 1: is at the instance of your obeying what He has said.
- 1:01:25Speaker 1: There is no doubt that God can do what you
- 1:01:28Speaker 1: may never see his doings in your life until your
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: obedience connects to his integrity, connect to his ability. Faith
- 1:01:37Speaker 1: in one word, is obedience saying what he has said,
- 1:01:42Speaker 1: but in addition to that, obeying the conditions that are connected.
- 1:01:46Speaker 2: To what he has said.
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: This is now where you begin to come to the
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: realm of covenant. Who hopefully deal with that tomorrow. Because
- 1:01:55Speaker 1: you see, there are three levels by which men can
- 1:02:01Speaker 1: operate with the realm of the Spirit. That includes God,
- 1:02:05Speaker 1: but any operates with the realm of the Spirit. The
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: least level of operation is called emotions. You can operate
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: with your world and with the realm of the Spirit
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: from the realm of emotions. The trouble with emotions is
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: that they vacinate, so it is the weakest platform for
- 1:02:22Speaker 1: relating with anybody or anything. Are we together now I
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: can say I will give you one million nare because
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: I was so excited yesterday. Then somebody will say a
- 1:02:32Speaker 1: pray for and you come to moron and I said, look,
- 1:02:34Speaker 1: I'm not in the mood to talk.
- 1:02:36Speaker 2: Emotions is the.
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: Weakest basis for relationship between any two people. The second level,
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: higher than emotion is called reason, which is based on logic.
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: So you are constrained to a model's operandi that is
- 1:02:50Speaker 1: now higher than your emotions.
- 1:02:51Speaker 2: Are we together?
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: But even at that logic can fail you. The highest
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: platform for relationships. When God wants to take any man
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: and anything, he operates on a rem called covenant. Because
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: covenant is non emotional. Covenant is beyond logic. Are we
- 1:03:10Speaker 1: together now? So, anything that God takes serious, he connects
- 1:03:15Speaker 1: a covenant relationship to it.
- 1:03:20Speaker 2: Covenant.
- 1:03:22Speaker 1: If you meet a lawyer and says, sign, I will
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: pay the school fees of this boy till university. You
- 1:03:28Speaker 1: have signed that document. It does not matter whether the
- 1:03:31Speaker 1: boy tells you you are stupid. You may be angry,
- 1:03:33Speaker 1: but there is something that is binding and accepts you
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: want to default on your integrity and then your ability.
- 1:03:41Speaker 2: Are we together now? So?
- 1:03:43Speaker 1: The Bible tells us listen carefully. It says, my covenant.
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: Will I not break nor alter the thing that is
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: gone forth out of my mouth? He does not just
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: do that for your sake. He does it for his namesake.
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: Another word, corredility, reputation.
- 1:04:02Speaker 2: Are we together now?
- 1:04:03Speaker 1: Yes? Because his name God does not just protect his people,
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: He also protects his name. He says, Oh Lord, our God,
- 1:04:11Speaker 1: how excellent is your name. Standing here tonight are people
- 1:04:21Speaker 1: who are trusting to see the manifest power of God
- 1:04:24Speaker 1: in their lives. Standing here tonight are people who are
- 1:04:27Speaker 1: trusting God to turn all kinds of negative situations in
- 1:04:31Speaker 1: their lives. And listen, ladies and gentlemen, with all humility,
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: I can tell you I know what God can do
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: with men who take him serious. I know what God
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: can do with men who believe him. That He can
- 1:04:45Speaker 1: turn your life into a sign and a wonder, that
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: your life becomes a living epistle. You become a continuation
- 1:04:52Speaker 1: of someone's Bible study. Your life becomes a compendium of
- 1:04:57Speaker 1: possibilities that people look at your life and say, and God,
- 1:05:00Speaker 1: go this file with men, they said, this are a
- 1:05:03Speaker 1: day that turned the world upside down. But all of that,
- 1:05:08Speaker 1: it does not happen just because of your pedigree. It
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: does not happen just because of who you are, your name,
- 1:05:14Speaker 1: whatever it is. It happens because you have come to
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: a point of understanding. You have outsourced a superior orientation
- 1:05:23Speaker 1: that the world of God is portent because He is
- 1:05:26Speaker 1: faithful and true, faithful, the rider upon the horse and true.
- 1:05:34Speaker 1: If it tells you I am coming to you to
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: visit you. He told Abraham that God's people, the nation
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: of Israel, will get into captivity, and it will be
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: for a period of four hundred years. And even though
- 1:05:46Speaker 1: there was delay, I always found out why thirty years
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: was added.
- 1:05:49Speaker 2: Do you know why it was added?
- 1:05:51Speaker 1: I believe that that time was added because of the
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: lapse in preparing the vessel who will be the deliverer,
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: not because of God's commitment. Because God will have to
- 1:06:02Speaker 1: work with the will of the person who he will
- 1:06:04Speaker 1: use as a deliverer. So it is possible God can
- 1:06:07Speaker 1: tell you that in January I will lift you, and
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: the lifting comes November.
- 1:06:11Speaker 2: It is not because God is slack. It is because your.
- 1:06:14Speaker 1: Participatory role prolonged that situation up until your obedience was complete.
- 1:06:21Speaker 1: So the day your obedience is complete is the date
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: of your manifestation. When God speaks, every day is today.
- 1:06:29Speaker 1: It is up to your obedience to make it today indeed,
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: or to prolong it indefinitely eight thousand years a day
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: before him. So if it says today, he is always
- 1:06:43Speaker 1: right based on his calculation your miracle. If you postpone
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: it to next year, it is still today in the
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: mind of God. But the day your obedience is complete.
- 1:06:56Speaker 1: That is the day manifestation happens. Are we together now? Now,
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: there are three things I want you to leave this
- 1:07:02Speaker 1: place with. Number one is that God desires to be known.
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: God desires to be known.
- 1:07:08Speaker 2: Listen. Most people do not press for encounter. They just
- 1:07:12Speaker 2: press for verses in the Bible.
- 1:07:15Speaker 1: As wonderful as that is, they will only they become
- 1:07:18Speaker 1: empty historic materials with no power and potency to change
- 1:07:23Speaker 1: you away together. You can read about me by following
- 1:07:29Speaker 1: or reading my book, but you have to encounter me.
- 1:07:33Speaker 1: All of the people who wrote what we call the
- 1:07:35Speaker 1: Bible today, they wrote based on your encounters. Their confidence
- 1:07:41Speaker 1: was based on your encounters. Bible faith is not just
- 1:07:45Speaker 1: based on recitation. Bible faith is based on an encounter
- 1:07:50Speaker 1: with God, who is faithful and true, the one who
- 1:07:53Speaker 1: has integrity, and the one who has all power. One story,
- 1:07:59Speaker 1: and who pray my apologists for taking your time, listen carefully.
- 1:08:04Speaker 2: Years ago I had a vision pastor.
- 1:08:09Speaker 1: My eyes were opened, and I saw like a giant door,
- 1:08:16Speaker 1: like an ancient gate. And that gate was made of
- 1:08:20Speaker 1: smaller doors, you know how a post office that you
- 1:08:25Speaker 1: see those small small boxes, Yes, And I noticed that
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: it was opening and closing all of them. They were
- 1:08:33Speaker 1: opening and closing, and on every one of the tiny
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: boxes were a scripture written and it to open and
- 1:08:39Speaker 1: then lights will come out and then need to close.
- 1:08:41Speaker 1: And I was wondering what kind of vision this was,
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: and the Spirit of God began to teach me that
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: every one of those scriptures have the power components attached
- 1:08:51Speaker 1: to them, that the day you truly understand the revelation
- 1:08:55Speaker 1: behind the scripture, the lights that comes out of it
- 1:08:58Speaker 1: is the place for performance. So every time you have
- 1:09:01Speaker 1: a scripture that you have not received the light component,
- 1:09:04Speaker 1: you may keep saying it as important as that is.
- 1:09:08Speaker 1: You may keep, you know, just writing it and just
- 1:09:11Speaker 1: saying I am believing it, but it will never find
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: performance in your life until you truly believe it the
- 1:09:18Speaker 1: light that is pack of it. In Act chapter four
- 1:09:23Speaker 1: and verse thirty three, the Bible says, and with great
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: power gave the apostles weakness of the resurrection of the
- 1:09:31Speaker 1: Lord Jesus. And he says, great grace was upon them all,
- 1:09:35Speaker 1: with great power, great power. They believe what he said.
- 1:09:40Speaker 1: And he said, no, I will not only send you
- 1:09:42Speaker 1: with a word and a message. There is a power
- 1:09:44Speaker 1: component tarry in Jerusalem. You know the message, you know
- 1:09:49Speaker 1: what to tell people, but you need the power component
- 1:09:52Speaker 1: to defend your speakings. Allelujah, Listen to me the reason
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: and why a man of God will speak over your
- 1:10:02Speaker 1: life and things begin to change, and respectfully speaking another
- 1:10:06Speaker 1: man who speak, and you will still say amen to both,
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: and nothing will happen. It's not just that your amen
- 1:10:12Speaker 1: is not loud enough. It is that many times we
- 1:10:15Speaker 1: speak from the standpoint of our spiritual orientation.
- 1:10:19Speaker 2: Are we together now?
- 1:10:20Speaker 1: Your understanding is the trigger that releases the power of God.
- 1:10:25Speaker 1: If you speak from a standpoint of ignorance or religion,
- 1:10:28Speaker 1: you will only be making an empty noise with no potency.
- 1:10:32Speaker 1: God designed the kingdom to operate such that the power
- 1:10:36Speaker 1: of God is released at the point of understanding. It
- 1:10:40Speaker 1: takes more than desire to command power. It takes more
- 1:10:43Speaker 1: than desire to command possibilities. You must take our time
- 1:10:47Speaker 1: and invest in having a genuine encounter with the Lord
- 1:10:50Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. You understand all of these dynamics from that standpoint.
- 1:10:55Speaker 1: God never spoke until the spirit of revelation began to hover.
- 1:11:00Speaker 1: Most times we speak without the spirit being there. God
- 1:11:04Speaker 1: himself was patient until the Spirit over round. Then he spoke,
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: and God said, in the presence of the Spirit and
- 1:11:14Speaker 1: their wors, you don't just say because you found it
- 1:11:19Speaker 1: as powerful as that is you're saying has power when it.
- 1:11:23Speaker 2: Comes from the standpoint of revelation.
- 1:11:27Speaker 1: Most believers, therefore, our bankruptcy of seeing the power and
- 1:11:31Speaker 1: the possibilities of God. The inability to command genuine, consistent,
- 1:11:36Speaker 1: ever increasing results in our lives is not a reflection
- 1:11:40Speaker 1: of God's inability. Is that we have not paid the
- 1:11:43Speaker 1: price to label in the spirit, to have genuine encounters
- 1:11:47Speaker 1: that now make the world of God puttend upon our
- 1:11:51Speaker 1: lips and in our lives.
- 1:11:54Speaker 2: Let God be true and every man a liar.
- 1:11:56Speaker 1: That means, if my life and your life does not
- 1:11:59Speaker 1: capture certain dimensions of different possibilities, it does not change
- 1:12:03Speaker 1: the fact that God is almighty. It does not change
- 1:12:06Speaker 1: the fact that God can do all things. But to
- 1:12:09Speaker 1: see those all things work in your life, you must
- 1:12:12Speaker 1: press for the revelation of Him who is.
- 1:12:15Speaker 2: Faithful and true. I'm rapping up. Look at me.
- 1:12:20Speaker 1: I do not know any man in a modern world
- 1:12:22Speaker 1: today that keeps all his money cash in his house.
- 1:12:26Speaker 1: Are we together? You drop your money with the bank.
- 1:12:29Speaker 1: Your money is with the bank right now. Many of
- 1:12:32Speaker 1: you you have never seen the GMD or the CEO
- 1:12:35Speaker 1: of that bank, and yet you can keep your money
- 1:12:38Speaker 1: and keep adding to it.
- 1:12:40Speaker 2: Do you know why?
- 1:12:41Speaker 1: Because you have come to a point where you have
- 1:12:43Speaker 1: been convinced that that bank has integrity. Are we together?
- 1:12:48Speaker 2: They have used your track record plus marketing.
- 1:12:50Speaker 1: To let you know that your money is safe with them,
- 1:12:53Speaker 1: and you have tested it by going to the ATM
- 1:12:56Speaker 1: and when you withdrew your ten thousand, it came out.
- 1:12:59Speaker 2: You did it again, it came out. Are we together?
- 1:13:02Speaker 1: They tested their own ability and created a system to
- 1:13:06Speaker 1: limit your daily withdrawal so that they don't disappoint you.
- 1:13:10Speaker 2: Are we together now? Is someone learning now? The day
- 1:13:15Speaker 2: you go and use the ATM and it does not
- 1:13:18Speaker 2: bring money, you have.
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: The right to go into the bank because the bank
- 1:13:24Speaker 1: is not the ATM. The ATM is just an expression
- 1:13:27Speaker 1: of the bank. You have confidence that you can enter
- 1:13:29Speaker 1: the bank and you will not be denied access.
- 1:13:32Speaker 2: Are we learning now?
- 1:13:33Speaker 1: So you enter the bank with confidence and then you
- 1:13:36Speaker 1: tell them I have five million narra here the day
- 1:13:39Speaker 1: you say I want.
- 1:13:40Speaker 2: It and they tell you stories, what will happen.
- 1:13:43Speaker 1: There is a compromise on integrity, which most likely may
- 1:13:47Speaker 1: be a reflection of a compromise in their ability, and
- 1:13:51Speaker 1: very quickly you may want to withdraw your money, or
- 1:13:54Speaker 1: sue them, or do whatever it is. I'm using banking
- 1:13:56Speaker 1: to help you understand how we work with God.
- 1:13:59Speaker 2: It is.
- 1:14:00Speaker 1: It's amazing that some of you have not withdrawn certain
- 1:14:02Speaker 1: amounts for decades. It's been in that bank, yet you
- 1:14:06Speaker 1: have never called it the bank's money. It is your money,
- 1:14:09Speaker 1: but it is not with you. That is how powerful
- 1:14:13Speaker 1: integrity can work for a man. You'll go to bed
- 1:14:19Speaker 1: and you never afraid, regardless what you hear. My money
- 1:14:23Speaker 1: is safe and safe with the bank. My money is
- 1:14:27Speaker 1: safe and safe with the bank because when you need
- 1:14:29Speaker 1: to withdraw twenty thousand and Narra say, you stay.
- 1:14:33Speaker 2: At the ATM and then you withdraw, or you give
- 1:14:35Speaker 2: an instruction and it is obeyed. Immediately listen to me.
- 1:14:39Speaker 1: The reason why most people do not believe God is
- 1:14:42Speaker 1: because they have tried to put to work what the
- 1:14:45Speaker 1: Word says should happen or what should be in their lives,
- 1:14:49Speaker 1: and they have been disappointed again and again.
- 1:14:51Speaker 2: Now they will not say it to the open.
- 1:14:53Speaker 1: They will still speak Christian languages, but deep within their
- 1:14:56Speaker 1: hearts they've come to an uncomfortable conclusion that this thing
- 1:15:00Speaker 1: bat is just church. But in truth it does not work.
- 1:15:05Speaker 1: So when you say I want to pray for the sick,
- 1:15:08Speaker 1: the sick will stand. They don't expect to be healed. Honestly,
- 1:15:11Speaker 1: they hope they will be healed. They will be surprised
- 1:15:13Speaker 1: if they are. Oh, I want to speak over someone
- 1:15:18Speaker 1: who is trusting God for a change of story.
- 1:15:20Speaker 2: What most people call fate is actually hope.
- 1:15:23Speaker 1: That is usually the final point of squeezing out from
- 1:15:28Speaker 1: an atmosphere of despair. But let me tell you the
- 1:15:31Speaker 1: truth Bible fate is predicated upon your knowledge of who
- 1:15:35Speaker 1: God is. You can stand with certainty that looks like
- 1:15:39Speaker 1: pride to say I know God will do this. I
- 1:15:42Speaker 1: know that by the end of this year I will
- 1:15:45Speaker 1: go from glory to glory, because I have found out
- 1:15:48Speaker 1: in scripture that the Bible says the path of the
- 1:15:50Speaker 1: jost is as a shining light that shines brighter and
- 1:15:54Speaker 1: brighter even onto the perfect day.
- 1:15:57Speaker 2: We're going to pray, and I want you to cry
- 1:16:02Speaker 2: out from your heart, give me.
- 1:16:04Speaker 1: A revelation, give me a revelation of your name as
- 1:16:08Speaker 1: faithful and true, a revelation of your integrity, a revelation
- 1:16:15Speaker 1: of your ability. Is someone praying a revelation of your integrity.
- 1:16:20Speaker 1: The times that we live in will not afford it
- 1:16:24Speaker 1: to be a casual Christian. You will find out eventually
- 1:16:27Speaker 1: that your Christian experience will only lead to frustration.
- 1:16:30Speaker 2: Please pray.
- 1:16:33Speaker 1: I believe that this conference was put to raise believers
- 1:16:38Speaker 1: that command genuine results, not once in a wild results,
- 1:16:44Speaker 1: not assumed results, not exaggerated results. Genuine results, ever increasing consistent,
- 1:16:54Speaker 1: because you are dealing with the God that is verifiable.
- 1:16:57Speaker 1: He is accurate, He is consistent, tent, faithful and true
- 1:17:04Speaker 1: to lead me through ministry, faithful and true to help
- 1:17:08Speaker 1: me raise my children, faithful and true to deliver me
- 1:17:13Speaker 1: from every oppression of darkness. Faithful and true to see
- 1:17:18Speaker 1: to it that I enjoy the blessings of the Lord
- 1:17:21Speaker 1: all the days of my life.
- 1:17:23Speaker 2: Someone praying, one minute, I receive grace. I receive grace.
- 1:17:30Speaker 2: I receive grace to catch genuinely a revelation of Him
- 1:17:36Speaker 2: as faithful and true. Allelujah. Last prayer.
- 1:17:42Speaker 1: Point from this understanding, I want you to cause everything
- 1:17:50Speaker 1: that is not in line with God's word.
- 1:17:52Speaker 2: Are we together now? He said, I profess sight as
- 1:17:56Speaker 2: I was commanded, and there was a sound.
- 1:18:00Speaker 1: You're going to speak. Be the priest of your life
- 1:18:02Speaker 1: for the next one minute. I like you to stand
- 1:18:05Speaker 1: with understanding that He has made us onto our God,
- 1:18:08Speaker 1: kings and priests, and the Bible declares.
- 1:18:10Speaker 2: That will reign in this life.
- 1:18:12Speaker 1: Begin to pray and declare over everything that must come
- 1:18:15Speaker 1: into divine alignment in someone praying, make decrease by the
- 1:18:19Speaker 1: power of the Holy Spirit, a new dimension in ministry.
- 1:18:23Speaker 1: The Lord is my light and my salvation. In the
- 1:18:26Speaker 1: name of Jesus Christ, I access speed. I accept hell
- 1:18:29Speaker 1: from heaven. In the name of Jesus Christ. Declare by
- 1:18:34Speaker 1: the Spirit. Declare by the Spirit. Declare by the Spirit.
- 1:18:39Speaker 1: I have the mind of Christ. In the Mighty name
- 1:18:42Speaker 1: of Jesus Christ. Unbelief is far from my life. By
- 1:18:47Speaker 1: the power of the Holy Spirit, that which God has
- 1:18:50Speaker 1: said to me, he will make it good.
- 1:18:52Speaker 2: He will bring his word to pass.
- 1:18:55Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus He is faithful and he
- 1:18:58Speaker 1: is true. Allelujah. Let me declare over your life for
- 1:19:05Speaker 1: tonight in the name of Jesus Christ. I stand in
- 1:19:13Speaker 1: faith with the grace upon the Angel in this house,
- 1:19:16Speaker 1: alongside every vessel of God in this place.
- 1:19:19Speaker 2: And I decree and declare over.
- 1:19:21Speaker 1: Someone that the season of shame and the season of
- 1:19:26Speaker 1: reproach comes to one end. I decreeate and declare, like
- 1:19:35Speaker 1: the prophet said over Samia. Maybe not for everybody, but
- 1:19:39Speaker 1: for someone who is believing. By this time tomorrow, I
- 1:19:43Speaker 1: decree and declare, return with strange testimonies, Return with strange testimonies,
- 1:19:50Speaker 1: Return with strange testimonies in the name of Jesus Christ.
- 1:19:57Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus Christ. The Bible says, the
- 1:20:00Speaker 1: world is quick and powerful. May these two dimensions speak
- 1:20:04Speaker 1: in your life. May the word brings speed to your life.
- 1:20:09Speaker 1: May the work powerful in your life. In the name
- 1:20:13Speaker 1: of Jesus Christ. Finally, I decree and declare whatever has
- 1:20:18Speaker 1: made you cry. You came to this conference crying, saying, Lord,
- 1:20:21Speaker 1: this is the midst of the year.
- 1:20:23Speaker 2: Visit me.
- 1:20:24Speaker 1: May the God of our salvation, even the one who
- 1:20:28Speaker 1: is called faithful and true, may he visit you supernaturally.
- 1:20:33Speaker 2: In the mighty and much less name of Jesus Christ.
- 1:20:36Speaker 2: With your hands to Jesus gave him all the praise
