- 5:24Speaker 1: a sign and a wonder, first to you and then
- 5:28Speaker 1: to everybody around you. Allelujah. We are made in this
- 5:33Speaker 1: kingdom out of the abundance of the mysteries of the Kingdom.
- 5:37Speaker 1: We have access to, Allelujah. And it is the assignment
- 5:41Speaker 1: of the shepherds to build to mature God's people. According
- 5:49Speaker 1: to Jeremiah three and verse fifteen, I will give you
- 5:52Speaker 1: past us or shepherds. According to my heart. The Bible
- 5:57Speaker 1: says they shall feed you. So what you are receiving
- 6:01Speaker 1: is feeding. It's more than an information that is entering
- 6:04Speaker 1: your ears. It's an information that is entering your spirit
- 6:08Speaker 1: and framing your reality. Allelujah. They will feed you with
- 6:13Speaker 1: knowledge and with understanding. Allelujah. Tonight, the world of God
- 6:20Speaker 1: is coming with power to purge and build us. Have
- 6:23Speaker 1: prayed earnestly for tonight's teaching. It is a teaching for
- 6:27Speaker 1: the body of Christ, and I want you to please listen.
- 6:31Speaker 1: Do not allow yourself to be distracted tonight. Listen from
- 6:35Speaker 1: start to finish, because I believe that this is one
- 6:39Speaker 1: of those teachings tonight that you will praise God for
- 6:43Speaker 1: and it will build your capacity in the spirit for
- 6:47Speaker 1: a very long time. In the name of Jesus Christ, allelujah,
- 6:52Speaker 1: I'm teaching on the purified Church, the purified Church. Tonight.
- 7:00Speaker 1: God is coming to us as a refine us fire
- 7:03Speaker 1: to build us and to give us capacity and stamina
- 7:08Speaker 1: even in the spirit. The purified Church. God is going
- 7:13Speaker 1: to be commending us, is going to be challenging us,
- 7:17Speaker 1: and the World of God is going to be building us.
- 7:20Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus, Allelujah. I want to start
- 7:24Speaker 1: this teaching tonight with three very important information. Number One,
- 7:32Speaker 1: Jesus is coming back and he's coming back soon. That
- 7:37Speaker 1: is the first information. You would be surprised that many
- 7:41Speaker 1: people have forgotten this thing. I just said. Jesus is
- 7:45Speaker 1: coming back and he's coming soon Revelations one and verse seven.
- 7:50Speaker 1: Please let's hurry up. We have a lot to cover tonight. Behold,
- 7:54Speaker 1: he comments with clouds, and every eye shall see him,
- 7:59Speaker 1: and they also which piers team, and all kindreds of
- 8:03Speaker 1: the earth shall well because of him. Even so, Amen.
- 8:07Speaker 1: So the Bible tells us as surely that Jesus Christ
- 8:11Speaker 1: is returning. It's one of the cardinal pillars of the
- 8:15Speaker 1: Christian faith, the imminent return of Jesus. You are not
- 8:19Speaker 1: a complete Christian if you do not believe that Jesus
- 8:23Speaker 1: is coming. It's not enough to believe he came the
- 8:25Speaker 1: first time. It is not enough to believe that he died.
- 8:28Speaker 1: You most believe that he's coming again. Revelations twenty two,
- 8:32Speaker 1: verse twelve. Then we go to verse twenty. The Bible says,
- 8:36Speaker 1: and behold, I come quickly. Jesus himself is speaking, and
- 8:41Speaker 1: my reward is with me to give every man according
- 8:46Speaker 1: as his works shall be. Verse twenty. He which testified
- 8:51Speaker 1: this thing said, surely, I come quickly.
- 8:55Speaker 5: Amen.
- 8:56Speaker 1: Even so, come Lord Jesus. Last scripture to establish that
- 9:01Speaker 1: point Acts Chapter one, from verse ten to eleven. This
- 9:05Speaker 1: is Jesus being lifted to the heavens, and the Bible says,
- 9:08Speaker 1: while they looked steadfastly towards heaven as he went up,
- 9:12Speaker 1: behold two men stood by them in white apparel eleven,
- 9:18Speaker 1: which also said, ye men of Galilee, why stand ye
- 9:22Speaker 1: gazing into heaven? The same Jesus. Now not another one,
- 9:28Speaker 1: This same Jesus, which is taken off from you into heaven.
- 9:33Speaker 5: He shall come in like manner.
- 9:35Speaker 1: In like manner means the way you saw him go up,
- 9:38Speaker 1: that is the way he's going to come back. The
- 9:40Speaker 1: way nothing resisted him from going up, that is the
- 9:43Speaker 1: same way nothing will resist him from coming back. Are
- 9:46Speaker 1: we together? So? Fast Number one for tonight's teaching is
- 9:50Speaker 1: that Jesus is coming back, and he's coming soon. Fast
- 9:56Speaker 1: Number two efficient chapter five and verse twenty six twenty seven.
- 10:01Speaker 1: There is a kind of church and a kind of
- 10:04Speaker 1: bride that he's coming back for.
- 10:07Speaker 5: The Bible says that he might.
- 10:08Speaker 1: Sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by
- 10:14Speaker 1: the world twenty seven place. It says that he might
- 10:17Speaker 1: present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot
- 10:23Speaker 1: or wrinkle or any such thing, but that it should
- 10:27Speaker 1: be holy and without blemish. So he's coming fat number one,
- 10:33Speaker 1: Fat number two. He's just not coming for any kind
- 10:36Speaker 1: of person. There is a kind of church, there is
- 10:40Speaker 1: a kind of believer. He's coming for a weekly On
- 10:43Speaker 1: that number three, it is the assignment of the fivefold
- 10:48Speaker 1: ministry to help build and mature the body of Christ
- 10:54Speaker 1: to be efficient even as we await his coming. It
- 10:58Speaker 1: is the assignment of the fivefold the fivefold ministry now
- 11:03Speaker 1: to help build and mature the body to be efficient
- 11:09Speaker 1: even as we await his coming. You find that inefficiency
- 11:13Speaker 1: after fall. From eleven to sixteen, he gave some apostles, prophets, evangelists,
- 11:22Speaker 1: past us, teach us, uhhuh. It says, for the perfecting,
- 11:26Speaker 1: the maturing of the saints, for the work of the ministry,
- 11:30Speaker 1: for the defiance of the Body of Christ. Next verse
- 11:33Speaker 1: till we come into the unity of the faith and
- 11:36Speaker 1: of the knowledge of the Son of God, onto a
- 11:39Speaker 1: perfect man, the Bible says, onto the measure of the
- 11:43Speaker 1: stature of the fullness of Christ. Fourteen it says that
- 11:47Speaker 1: we henceforth be no more children toss toe and fro
- 11:51Speaker 1: and carry it about with every wind of doctrine, by
- 11:54Speaker 1: the slight of men and conning craftiness wherein the light
- 11:59Speaker 1: to deceive, he says, but speaking the truth in love,
- 12:03Speaker 1: we may grow up into Him in all things, which
- 12:06Speaker 1: is the head, even Christ. The last verse, now he says,
- 12:10Speaker 1: from whom the whole body fitly joined together and comparted
- 12:14Speaker 1: by that which every joint supplied according to the effectual
- 12:19Speaker 1: walking in the measure of every part. Make it increase
- 12:23Speaker 1: of the body onto the act deifying of itself in love.
- 12:28Speaker 1: So that Jesus is coming again. He's coming back, and
- 12:33Speaker 1: he's coming soon. Number two, that he's coming for a
- 12:37Speaker 1: kind of church. And the Bible says that church as
- 12:40Speaker 1: a bride should be without spot or wrinkle. And then
- 12:44Speaker 1: the next verse, it is the mandate that means anyone
- 12:48Speaker 1: who is truly called by God to function within the
- 12:53Speaker 1: scope of the fivefold contained in your strategy for building
- 12:58Speaker 1: believers must be a template, a teaching resources that help
- 13:05Speaker 1: the body to become inexperienced, that purified bride, that purified church.
- 13:11Speaker 1: Are we together? Hallelujah? Now, the next thing I wanted
- 13:16Speaker 1: to know, I'm Russian, because there is a lot for
- 13:18Speaker 1: us to cover.
- 13:19Speaker 5: The next thing I wanted to know is that the.
- 13:22Speaker 1: Way listen carefully the Lord purifies and matures his church
- 13:30Speaker 1: is by commendation and correction. The way that the Lord
- 13:36Speaker 1: purifies and matures his church is by a blend of
- 13:42Speaker 1: commendation and correction. When God builds and purifies his bride,
- 13:48Speaker 1: he does it by commending the bride and commending the
- 13:53Speaker 1: church where they do well and get it right, and
- 13:58Speaker 1: then correcting and pointing area as to them that they
- 14:01Speaker 1: need to make adjustments.
- 14:02Speaker 5: In Philippians chapter three and verse.
- 14:05Speaker 1: Eleven, we see this strategy used in the ministry of
- 14:09Speaker 1: Paul three and eleven. Hallelujah, I hope my God that
- 14:15Speaker 1: right give us. Yes, let's start from verse eleven. Let's see.
- 14:21Speaker 1: I hope that's it, if by any means I might
- 14:23Speaker 1: attain onto the resurrection of the dead. Oh no, please
- 14:27Speaker 1: search for that scripture. I thank my God in remembrance
- 14:30Speaker 1: of you. That's a scripture I'm looking for. Let's go
- 14:32Speaker 1: to Hebrews chapter twelve, from verse five. Hebrews chapter twelve. Okay,
- 14:39Speaker 1: beautiful Philippians one and verse three. Now watch this he said,
- 14:44Speaker 1: I thank my God upon every remembrance of you. Verse four.
- 14:50Speaker 1: It says, always in prayer of mine for you, making
- 14:55Speaker 1: requests with joy. Uh huh.
- 14:58Speaker 5: For your fellowship.
- 15:00Speaker 1: In the Gospel from the first day until now, Apostle
- 15:03Speaker 1: Paul is commanding the church. Now verse six, being confident
- 15:08Speaker 1: of this very thing, he said that he which had
- 15:11Speaker 1: begne a good walk, what kind of work a good.
- 15:15Speaker 5: Work in you?
- 15:16Speaker 1: He said, you will perform it onto the day of
- 15:20Speaker 1: Jesus Christ.
- 15:20Speaker 5: You can stop there. So Paul is.
- 15:23Speaker 1: Commending them and is saying that every time he remembers them,
- 15:27Speaker 1: he's blessing God for them, because that they are working
- 15:31Speaker 1: in truth, and that he is confident that that which
- 15:34Speaker 1: is commended onto God.
- 15:36Speaker 5: That he's able to keep.
- 15:38Speaker 1: He's expressing joy and commendation. Now let's go to Hebrews
- 15:42Speaker 1: chapter twelve. From verse eleven, Saint Paul. Hebrews twelve, the
- 15:47Speaker 1: Bible says, now not chastening for the present. From verse five,
- 15:53Speaker 1: please five to eleven. Five to eleven, it says, and
- 15:58Speaker 1: ye have forgotten the ex rotation which peakeet onto you
- 16:01Speaker 1: as children, My son despise, not the chastening of the Lord.
- 16:07Speaker 1: Someone said, the chastening of the Lord, nor faint. When
- 16:11Speaker 1: thou art rebuked the word, saints there is don't be discouraged.
- 16:15Speaker 1: He's encouraging you that in your journey, in your walk
- 16:18Speaker 1: with God, there are times you will correct. He will
- 16:21Speaker 1: rebuke you that when that happens, do not take offense
- 16:26Speaker 1: in it. It is part of his structure for maturing
- 16:28Speaker 1: you is someone learning now, he says, nor faint when
- 16:32Speaker 1: thou are rebuked of him?
- 16:34Speaker 5: And how are Reading to eleven.
- 16:36Speaker 1: He says, for whom the Lord loveth, he chasteneth and
- 16:40Speaker 1: scorcheth every son whom he receiveth. That means the chasing
- 16:45Speaker 1: of the Lord is a sign of acceptance that he
- 16:49Speaker 1: loves you, and he wants you to stand to last,
- 16:51Speaker 1: to finish strong. He says, if ye and your chastening,
- 16:55Speaker 1: God dealt with you as with sons. For what son
- 16:59Speaker 1: is he whom the Father chasing? It not? It's asking
- 17:02Speaker 1: a question verse eight, reading to eleven. But if he
- 17:06Speaker 1: be without chastisement, whereof all our partakers, then are e bastards?
- 17:13Speaker 5: The word bastard there is not an insult.
- 17:15Speaker 1: It means you are one who is not under the
- 17:17Speaker 1: mentorship of a father.
- 17:18Speaker 5: It's as though there.
- 17:19Speaker 1: Is nobody who builds you, who shapes you.
- 17:22Speaker 5: He says, And you are not sons.
- 17:24Speaker 1: Verse nine Furthermore, we have had fathers in our flesh
- 17:30Speaker 1: corrected us, which corrected us, and we gave them reverence.
- 17:34Speaker 1: Shall we not much rather be in subjection onto the
- 17:38Speaker 1: Father of.
- 17:39Speaker 5: Spirit and leave verse ten?
- 17:43Speaker 1: For they verily for a few days chasing it us
- 17:46Speaker 1: after their own.
- 17:47Speaker 5: Pleasure, But he for our profit.
- 17:50Speaker 1: So chastening is for your profit, that we might be
- 17:53Speaker 1: partakers of his holiness. The last verse bliss, it says,
- 17:57Speaker 1: now no chastening for the preyer then seemed meant to
- 18:01Speaker 1: be joyous but grivious. Nevertheless, afterwards it yielded the peaceable
- 18:08Speaker 1: foot of righteousness onto them which are exercised. Dearby are
- 18:15Speaker 1: we together? So we see that impulse Apostolic ministry. He
- 18:19Speaker 1: helped the church get matured, not only by teaching them
- 18:23Speaker 1: the mysteries of the kingdom, but he was very careful
- 18:26Speaker 1: to watch over them and to command them where commendation
- 18:31Speaker 1: was needed, and to chastise or to correct them where
- 18:34Speaker 1: chastisement was needed. In Revelations chapter two, please give us.
- 18:39Speaker 1: From verse one, John was caught up in the isle
- 18:42Speaker 1: of Patmos, and he had an encounter with Jesus, the
- 18:46Speaker 1: resurrected Christ. Now in his glorified state, and he was
- 18:50Speaker 1: asked to write a letter to the seven churches. Now
- 18:53Speaker 1: theologically speaking, the way seven churches in Asia minor, but
- 18:57Speaker 1: it was a prophetic representation of the entire church. Are
- 19:01Speaker 1: we together, We're going to take just two of the
- 19:04Speaker 1: churches to study the character of how God purifies his church.
- 19:09Speaker 1: Are we together? Onto the Angel of the church in
- 19:12Speaker 1: Ephiesos right this thing said he that holded the seven
- 19:18Speaker 1: stars in his right hand, who walked in the midst
- 19:21Speaker 1: of the seven golden candles. Next verse, I know thy walks,
- 19:27Speaker 1: now are you saying? Now? I know thy walks, and
- 19:30Speaker 1: thy labor and thy patience.
- 19:33Speaker 5: How and how that.
- 19:35Speaker 1: Cannot bear them which are evil? And thou hast tried
- 19:39Speaker 1: them which say they are apostles and are not, and
- 19:42Speaker 1: has found them liars.
- 19:43Speaker 5: We're reading two eleven.
- 19:44Speaker 1: Let's worry of media, and has borne and has patients,
- 19:48Speaker 1: and for my name's sake.
- 19:50Speaker 5: Has labored and has not sainted.
- 19:54Speaker 1: Are you saying that He started by commanding them that listen,
- 19:57Speaker 1: I am not unaware of your sacrifice, see your diligence
- 20:01Speaker 1: and everything that you do for the kingdom. Then he says, nevertheless,
- 20:06Speaker 1: I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left your
- 20:10Speaker 1: first love.
- 20:12Speaker 5: Remember therefore, from whence thou.
- 20:14Speaker 1: Hast fallen and repent and do the first works, or
- 20:18Speaker 1: else I will come on to you quickly, and I
- 20:22Speaker 1: will remove thy candle stick out of his place, except
- 20:26Speaker 1: you repent. Verse six, it says, but this thou hast,
- 20:30Speaker 1: that thou hatest the deeds of the Niccoladeans, which I
- 20:34Speaker 1: also hate. Seven he that hath an ear, He says,
- 20:39Speaker 1: let him hear what the spirit sayd to the churches.
- 20:41Speaker 1: To him that overcome it, I will give to each
- 20:44Speaker 1: of the tree of life, which is in the midst
- 20:47Speaker 1: of the paradise of God. Now he goes to the
- 20:51Speaker 1: next church, the church and smurner. He says, these things,
- 20:56Speaker 1: say it the first and the last, which was dead
- 20:59Speaker 1: and is alive. Verse nine.
- 21:02Speaker 5: I know thy works and tribulation and poverty.
- 21:06Speaker 1: But thou at rich and I know the blasphemy of them,
- 21:10Speaker 1: would say, they are Jews and are not brought out
- 21:13Speaker 1: the synagogue of Satan. So he commends them. Now he says,
- 21:17Speaker 1: share none of those things which thou shalt suffer. Behold,
- 21:22Speaker 1: the devil shall cast some of you into prison. That
- 21:25Speaker 1: ye may be tried, and ye shall have tribulation ten days.
- 21:30Speaker 1: He says, be down faithful onto death, and I will
- 21:33Speaker 1: give thee a crown of life the lads verse verse eleven.
- 21:37Speaker 1: He says, he that hath an ear, let him hear
- 21:40Speaker 1: what the spirit sayd to the churches, and he that
- 21:43Speaker 1: overcome its shall not be hurt by the second death?
- 21:46Speaker 5: Are we together now?
- 21:47Speaker 1: So you see that the character of Jesus Christ in
- 21:51Speaker 1: dealing with the church is that he would commend appropriately
- 21:58Speaker 1: and then he would call please look up. This already
- 22:03Speaker 1: is a template for every man of God and every
- 22:07Speaker 1: leader to use in dealing with people. That means, when
- 22:11Speaker 1: you want to build a mature people, please.
- 22:14Speaker 5: Let me have your attention.
- 22:15Speaker 1: The first thing is that you must be lavish to
- 22:19Speaker 1: correct them, but you must also be very lavish to
- 22:23Speaker 1: commend them.
- 22:24Speaker 5: When your ministry and your.
- 22:26Speaker 1: Mentorship structure is only full of commendation and commendation, you
- 22:31Speaker 1: are going to raise a people that are weak and
- 22:34Speaker 1: will not sustain power and stamina your vision, your ministry,
- 22:39Speaker 1: your organization will be full of flattery and lies. But
- 22:43Speaker 1: then on the flip side of it, if your ministry
- 22:46Speaker 1: is all about judgment and correction and rebuke and pointing
- 22:51Speaker 1: fingers at people. You are going to produce a discouraged people.
- 22:55Speaker 1: Are we together now? Because when you stretch the human
- 22:58Speaker 1: spirit beyond certain boundaries, they become discouraged. There are parents
- 23:04Speaker 1: today who are produced in quote what because spoiled children.
- 23:09Speaker 5: And the way they did.
- 23:10Speaker 1: That was by living a life that is full of commendation,
- 23:14Speaker 1: with no structure for improvement and rebuke. Whether the child
- 23:18Speaker 1: is good or bad, that's it. They just love like that.
- 23:22Speaker 1: And then there are those who proved, who produce children
- 23:25Speaker 1: who are full of bitterness and offense and anger because
- 23:30Speaker 1: their entire lives, even when the children were giving their
- 23:33Speaker 1: very best, it seemed like the best was never enough.
- 23:37Speaker 1: So good mentorship, therefore, and that which makes for maturity
- 23:42Speaker 1: and stature must be a healthy blend. Are we learning
- 23:45Speaker 1: already of commendation? And any ministry that focuses on just
- 23:52Speaker 1: commendation without building and maturing the saints and chastising them
- 23:58Speaker 1: if and when the need arises, will produce a lopsided
- 24:02Speaker 1: and a very weak believer. But then any ministry that
- 24:06Speaker 1: is full of judgment and pointing fingers and leadership, also,
- 24:11Speaker 1: you will not be able to produce a mature people.
- 24:14Speaker 1: So in dealing with this very sensitive subject of the
- 24:18Speaker 1: purified church, it is important for us to understand that
- 24:22Speaker 1: to get it right, we must adopt the template that
- 24:26Speaker 1: was used by the apostle and the template that was
- 24:29Speaker 1: used by Jesus himself. According to efficients chapter five and
- 24:35Speaker 1: verse one, it says we should be imitators of God.
- 24:39Speaker 5: Be imitators of God.
- 24:40Speaker 1: Some versions said be followers of God as their children.
- 24:44Speaker 1: That means, as you have seen him do and act
- 24:47Speaker 1: do likewise. In First Reita, chapter two and twenty one,
- 24:51Speaker 1: I believe it says we should follow in his steps.
- 24:54Speaker 1: The last sentence it says that we should follow in
- 24:57Speaker 1: his steps. That means the way he made the church
- 25:00Speaker 1: mature is the way we can make the church within
- 25:03Speaker 1: our territory mature by a healthy combination of commendation and
- 25:08Speaker 1: then chastisement and rebuke. Hallelujah, praise the name of the Lord. Now,
- 25:15Speaker 1: while this message concerns the church universal, the global church,
- 25:21Speaker 1: my focus particularly is for the Church in Africa and
- 25:26Speaker 1: then the Church in Nigeria. Allelujah. We owe to contribute
- 25:32Speaker 1: to the maturity and the purification of the church within
- 25:37Speaker 1: our territory. Now, the Church in Nigeria, the Church in
- 25:41Speaker 1: Africa has contributed in many, many ways. We thank God
- 25:48Speaker 1: for the privilege of the many things that the Church
- 25:51Speaker 1: has done. Among them, the Church in Nigeria and even
- 25:56Speaker 1: in Africa in many regards, have been the trail blazers
- 26:02Speaker 1: in terms of revival across the nations. God himself, like
- 26:06Speaker 1: his Spirit, has raised fathers. Even within this nation. Many
- 26:11Speaker 1: of us grew up in the midst of seasons of
- 26:14Speaker 1: strategic revivals. There were great people like Reynard Bunke of late,
- 26:19Speaker 1: great people who came into this nation and across the
- 26:22Speaker 1: African continent. Because of the presence of these people, men
- 26:27Speaker 1: like Archbishop Idahosa, Hallelujah, Benson Idahosa, these people spareheaded very
- 26:36Speaker 1: tremendous levels of revival. The Church has also done well
- 26:40Speaker 1: worthy of commendation in terms of sacrifice. I can tell
- 26:44Speaker 1: you like you know that the Church in Africa and
- 26:47Speaker 1: the Church in Nigeria is truly a church of sacrifice, Allelujah.
- 26:53Speaker 1: Sacrifice always in terms of giving. In terms of many
- 26:58Speaker 1: churches in dis cont for instance, hold multiple services and
- 27:03Speaker 1: there are people who are here from stads to finish
- 27:06Speaker 1: that is tremendous sacrifice. It is not a usual occurrence
- 27:09Speaker 1: in many parts of the world. In Coynonia here, for instance,
- 27:13Speaker 1: there are people who are here very early in the
- 27:15Speaker 1: morning and would stay late into the morning until everything
- 27:19Speaker 1: is done. That is sacrifice and that is worthy of commendation.
- 27:23Speaker 1: Number Three, The church in Nigeria, Africa, and it extends to.
- 27:27Speaker 5: The church global is noted for compassion.
- 27:31Speaker 1: Compassion that truly, we are a people of compassion. The
- 27:36Speaker 1: gentleman who gave his testimony here. Can you imagine meeting
- 27:40Speaker 1: someone for the first time and just telling the person
- 27:44Speaker 1: that I am a member of Cornonia. What if he
- 27:47Speaker 1: was lying? It didn't even check to verify. I carried
- 27:51Speaker 1: money to give him. Now the gentleman has a job.
- 27:53Speaker 1: There are people who went to school because of the church.
- 27:56Speaker 1: Is that true? There are people who had the opportunity
- 27:59Speaker 1: to run eyes and live responsible lives because of the church.
- 28:04Speaker 1: So worthy of commendation is the compassion of the church.
- 28:08Speaker 5: Worthy of commendation also is doctrine.
- 28:11Speaker 1: By the grace of God, the Church in Nigeria and
- 28:14Speaker 1: it extends to many parts of Africa, has been a
- 28:18Speaker 1: place of doctrine. Nigeria does not have a problem with ignorance.
- 28:23Speaker 1: No ignorance in spiritual matters for any believer in Nigeria
- 28:27Speaker 1: today is purely a product of laziness. Because God has
- 28:31Speaker 1: raised people across their body away together to be able
- 28:34Speaker 1: to bring there is a minimum level of spiritual understanding
- 28:39Speaker 1: that an average believer who is interested in God should attain.
- 28:46Speaker 1: Worthy of commendation for the Church in Nigeria. The Church
- 28:51Speaker 1: in Africa is standing for truth and righteousness in the
- 28:56Speaker 1: face of hardship and death. This is most prominent across
- 29:00Speaker 1: the Northeast. You would hear of stories of pastors and
- 29:04Speaker 1: people who were given an opportunity either to renounce Jesus
- 29:08Speaker 1: and they stood even to the face of death. Many
- 29:11Speaker 1: of these you may not see it on air, but
- 29:14Speaker 1: worthy of commendation is the stamina and the sacrifice of
- 29:18Speaker 1: God's people. Many people have given up riches, given up
- 29:22Speaker 1: opportunities to be famous simply because they made.
- 29:25Speaker 5: Up their minds that they would stand for truth. Is
- 29:31Speaker 5: that correct?
- 29:35Speaker 1: Worthy of commendation also is the profound dimension of kingdom
- 29:40Speaker 1: influence that God has given his church within this nation,
- 29:44Speaker 1: across Africa and also the world. God has lifted and
- 29:49Speaker 1: honored the church you can imagine churches in Nigeria having universities, hospitals.
- 29:55Speaker 1: There are many people who would have died today except
- 29:58Speaker 1: for the influence of the church. God has honored the
- 30:00Speaker 1: church to be a global force right from Nigeria here
- 30:04Speaker 1: and then parts of Africa and on to the world.
- 30:07Speaker 5: So it is worthy of commendation.
- 30:09Speaker 1: Finally, worthy of commendation is the tremendous display of spiritual
- 30:15Speaker 1: power and the gifts of the spirit that has been
- 30:19Speaker 1: invested in the church in this country, in the church
- 30:23Speaker 1: in Africa. You know, I sat back there watching people
- 30:26Speaker 1: come and give all these testimonies, and sometimes media will
- 30:30Speaker 1: capture the emotions of the people and I just nod
- 30:33Speaker 1: my head and even me myself, who God used to
- 30:36Speaker 1: produce the miracles. I wouldn't really say I'm amazed, but
- 30:39Speaker 1: I'm humbled that God can raise somebody out of nothing
- 30:43Speaker 1: and invest such level of spiritual power. I can tell
- 30:48Speaker 1: you that the church in Nigeria truly has spiritual power.
- 30:51Speaker 1: The church in Africa has spiritual power. Forget about some
- 30:56Speaker 1: of the challenges here.
- 30:57Speaker 5: And there profound power.
- 31:00Speaker 1: There are people who left home on wheelchairs and return
- 31:04Speaker 1: by carrying their will chairs and rejoicing genuine, authentic miracles.
- 31:09Speaker 1: There are people who, in a moment it twinkling of
- 31:12Speaker 1: an eye, their lives change like night and day, all
- 31:15Speaker 1: because of the tremendous power. Is it the prophetic? Is
- 31:18Speaker 1: it the revelatory grace? All kinds of grace is invested
- 31:22Speaker 1: within the body. So before we now begin to check
- 31:26Speaker 1: some of the things that need to be corrected, it
- 31:28Speaker 1: is worthy of note that we salute the Body of
- 31:32Speaker 1: Christ and salute the Church. That includes every man every
- 31:36Speaker 1: woman who serves God in truth. That includes every kingdom,
- 31:40Speaker 1: leader in politics, in business, that includes every father producing
- 31:45Speaker 1: responsible children, mother producing responsible children, every captain of industry
- 31:50Speaker 1: all together. Provided it is a contribution that has brought
- 31:55Speaker 1: these commendations about the Church, then we deserve to at
- 31:59Speaker 1: least give ourselves a little part in the back to say,
- 32:01Speaker 1: well done. Is that true? Now haven't brought that commendation?
- 32:12Speaker 1: My emphasis tonight is the Lord gave me this revelation
- 32:17Speaker 1: to reveal seven deadly scenes that must be purged from
- 32:23Speaker 1: the Church, the Church universal, the Church in Africa and
- 32:29Speaker 1: the Church in Nigeria. As much as we have commended ourselves,
- 32:34Speaker 1: it is important for us to be honest enough to
- 32:36Speaker 1: allow that refine us, fire to pass through us, and
- 32:40Speaker 1: to bring that podging. In John chapter fifteen, it says
- 32:43Speaker 1: he that bears fruit, my father will prone so that
- 32:46Speaker 1: he will bear much. You will bear greater fruit. He
- 32:50Speaker 1: that bears fruit. When you bear food, they pune you
- 32:54Speaker 1: so that you will even produce greater fruit. Hallelujah. Now
- 32:59Speaker 1: I want you to listen to these seven I call
- 33:03Speaker 1: them seven deadly scenes that must be touched from the church.
- 33:07Speaker 1: This teaching tonight is not from a standpoint of self righteousness,
- 33:11Speaker 1: for we are all bought products of this messy away together.
- 33:14Speaker 1: The teaching tonight is an attempt to show us, through
- 33:18Speaker 1: the lens of the holiness and the purity of the Christ,
- 33:21Speaker 1: the areas that we need to adjust in our lives,
- 33:24Speaker 1: in our organizations to the point that we present a
- 33:28Speaker 1: bride and a church that is purified. So as I
- 33:33Speaker 1: take on this, I want you to listen very carefully
- 33:36Speaker 1: to any one of the seven and as the Holy
- 33:38Speaker 1: Spirit speaks to you as I run through this list.
- 33:42Speaker 5: Now I'm going to bring some of the challenges, and.
- 33:44Speaker 1: Then I will profer very quickly what is the biblical
- 33:48Speaker 1: solution out of them? Are you ready now saying number one,
- 33:53Speaker 1: sexual immorality and related perversions. Sexual immorality, please write and
- 34:03Speaker 1: related perversions. We talk about the related perversions now. First
- 34:09Speaker 1: Thessalonian Chapter four, three to five, the first scene that
- 34:14Speaker 1: needs to be purified from the body of Christ. Give
- 34:18Speaker 1: us amplified. Let's read amplified. Then we read Acts fifteen,
- 34:22Speaker 1: twenty eight, and twenty nine. For this is the will
- 34:25Speaker 1: of God that you should be consecrated, separated, and set
- 34:29Speaker 1: apart for pure and holy living. That you should abstain
- 34:34Speaker 1: and shrink from all sexual vice. We're reading to five.
- 34:40Speaker 1: That each of you should know how to possess, control,
- 34:43Speaker 1: or manage its own body in consecration purity, separated from
- 34:48Speaker 1: things profane and honor. Verse five the last verse not
- 34:52Speaker 1: to be used in the passion of lost like the hidden,
- 34:56Speaker 1: who are ignorant of the True God and have known
- 34:59Speaker 1: knowledge of His will. Give us at chapter fifteen, please
- 35:03Speaker 1: from verse twenty eight and twenty nine amplified still, for
- 35:09Speaker 1: it seems good to the Holy Spirit and to us
- 35:14Speaker 1: not to lay upon you any greater burden than these
- 35:17Speaker 1: indispensable requirements. Uh huh, that you abstain from what has
- 35:23Speaker 1: been sacrificed to idols, and from tasting blood, and from
- 35:27Speaker 1: eating the meat of animals that have been strangled, and
- 35:30Speaker 1: from sexual impurity. If you keep yourself from these things,
- 35:35Speaker 1: it says you do well. Hallelujah. Now please, I want
- 35:39Speaker 1: to listen very carefully. Sexual immorality from time am memorial
- 35:47Speaker 1: has been part of society and it extends to all
- 35:51Speaker 1: the organizations and even the individuals. I want to pay
- 35:55Speaker 1: attention to this sexual emails. Morality is predicated on certain
- 36:02Speaker 1: facts that you must know. Please pay attention. The first
- 36:06Speaker 1: thing you need to know is that the desire for
- 36:10Speaker 1: intimacy I wrote here is not demonic. Most people have
- 36:14Speaker 1: not studied this subject. I have taken the time to
- 36:18Speaker 1: study this issue of sexual immorality. The desire for intimacy
- 36:23Speaker 1: is not demonic. Now, that is the problem with this
- 36:27Speaker 1: issue of lost and immorality, because other negative vices like
- 36:32Speaker 1: lying and stealing. Any day anytime, lying is lying and
- 36:36Speaker 1: it is bad any day anytime, please look up.
- 36:39Speaker 5: Stealing is stealing and it is bad.
- 36:42Speaker 1: But when it comes to the issue of sexual immorality,
- 36:46Speaker 1: the intrinsic desire for intimacy was not put there by
- 36:50Speaker 1: the devil.
- 36:51Speaker 5: It was put there by God.
- 36:53Speaker 1: So it's not a desire you can cast out of
- 36:55Speaker 1: your life.
- 36:56Speaker 5: Are we together?
- 36:57Speaker 1: It is only a desire that was created to be
- 37:01Speaker 1: expressed within certain conditions. It is the presence or absence
- 37:07Speaker 1: of the conditions that make it right or wrong, not
- 37:10Speaker 1: the presence of the desire. Is someone learning now that
- 37:14Speaker 1: what can be a dangerous thing right now the next moment,
- 37:18Speaker 1: within the right condition of marriage can become the greatest
- 37:22Speaker 1: blessing or one of the greatest blessing.
- 37:24Speaker 5: Are we together?
- 37:25Speaker 1: Stealing is stealing, Lying is lying, for instance, But when
- 37:30Speaker 1: it has to do with the issue of sexual immorality,
- 37:33Speaker 1: you have to understand that it was God that put
- 37:36Speaker 1: the desire for intimacy in men. Hallelujah. This is very
- 37:43Speaker 1: important and if you do not understand this, you are
- 37:48Speaker 1: going to be fighting a battle that you do not
- 37:50Speaker 1: even understand. Write this down. The spirit of lost and immorality,
- 38:00Speaker 1: or the nature of lost and immorality, is that it capitalizes,
- 38:06Speaker 1: It capitalizes on this blessing that God has put within
- 38:11Speaker 1: men and perverts it to the destruction of the victims.
- 38:17Speaker 1: So it capitalizes on the presence of this desire that
- 38:23Speaker 1: God has put in men.
- 38:24Speaker 5: And now perverts it for their destruction.
- 38:31Speaker 1: If you're with me, say amen. Now, sexual immorality does
- 38:35Speaker 1: not care whether you are old, does not care whether
- 38:40Speaker 1: you are young, does not care whether you are an apostle,
- 38:43Speaker 1: whether you are a prophet, whether you are good or bad.
- 38:47Speaker 1: Sexual immorality is not about being good or evil. Is
- 38:52Speaker 1: about exploiting, not a weakness, exploiting a provision that was
- 38:57Speaker 1: put by God.
- 38:59Speaker 5: And if not guarded within the frame.
- 39:01Speaker 1: Of what I will teach you, you can be a
- 39:04Speaker 1: nice person. You can be an evil person, and from
- 39:07Speaker 1: a sexual standpoint, you will be victims of the same thing.
- 39:10Speaker 1: Are we learning now? This is very, very powerful. It
- 39:16Speaker 1: is a cancer that has destroyed society, destroyed great destinies.
- 39:22Speaker 5: It is a cancer that.
- 39:23Speaker 1: Has destroyed people from ministry to business to politics. Noble
- 39:29Speaker 1: people have crashed down, sometimes overnight because of this.
- 39:33Speaker 5: Like I said, the goal.
- 39:34Speaker 1: Is to expose us to it, not from a standpoint
- 39:37Speaker 1: of condemnation, but to give us enlightenment and to supply
- 39:41Speaker 1: us with the tools that will keep us strong. Are
- 39:44Speaker 1: we together? Let me tell you this, No man will
- 39:47Speaker 1: ever outgrow the temptation of sexual immorality.
- 39:53Speaker 5: No man will outgrow being tempted.
- 39:55Speaker 1: That is the point. The devil will come once and
- 39:59Speaker 1: again for us long as you are alive, because he
- 40:03Speaker 1: knows that that nature is in every man, that desire
- 40:07Speaker 1: that God put so Satan will be up and doing,
- 40:11Speaker 1: creating scenarios and creating any and everything that will exploit
- 40:16Speaker 1: that provision. And for one who is ignorant and not
- 40:20Speaker 1: equipped with scripture and with revelation, eventually you will be
- 40:25Speaker 1: a victim. Is someone learning it is a spirit. I
- 40:40Speaker 1: in researching for this I came towards some statistics I
- 40:44Speaker 1: don't even want to go and talk about right now,
- 40:47Speaker 1: very terrible statistics that are not very very friendly and
- 40:51Speaker 1: not very funny. But then I studied something in dealing
- 40:58Speaker 1: with this subject. Do you know that, speaking within the
- 41:04Speaker 1: context of sexual immorality, the way this spirit works is
- 41:09Speaker 1: that once you are a young and unmarried person, the devil,
- 41:13Speaker 1: the spirit of lost arts by amplifying to an unusual degree.
- 41:19Speaker 1: Are we together this desire that God puts generally everything God,
- 41:24Speaker 1: this man, he gives you power and control over whatever
- 41:28Speaker 1: seems to go beyond your control, has been empowered by
- 41:32Speaker 1: another spirit.
- 41:33Speaker 5: Are we together now?
- 41:34Speaker 1: So? The way the devil pushes once you are unmarried,
- 41:39Speaker 1: without a spouse, he will amplify to an unusual degree.
- 41:43Speaker 1: And there may be biological explanations. I don't downplay, you know,
- 41:47Speaker 1: research of medicine. We're not discussing medicine now. This is
- 41:50Speaker 1: from a spiritual standpoint. I know there are things like
- 41:53Speaker 1: hormonal imbalance and the rest. I don't want to go
- 41:55Speaker 1: into those discussions. Are we together, but that generally speaking,
- 42:00Speaker 1: he will amplify that desire beyond the control of an individual,
- 42:04Speaker 1: and if not protected by wisdom, revelation and some of
- 42:08Speaker 1: these kids I will show you, you will find out
- 42:10Speaker 1: that you will be a victim. And then the moment
- 42:13Speaker 1: you get married, he will now flip flip the side
- 42:17Speaker 1: of the coin by taking away that desire. So you
- 42:21Speaker 1: find out that you can see two people who sometimes
- 42:25Speaker 1: are in the horry to get married because they think
- 42:26Speaker 1: they don't they want to keep themselves, and then they
- 42:29Speaker 1: get married. Statistics who tell us, counselors and even men
- 42:32Speaker 1: of God will tell you that sometimes once it happens,
- 42:35Speaker 1: you find out that that desire seems to just evaporate
- 42:38Speaker 1: and vurnish. It is all the structure of this spirit.
- 42:44Speaker 1: Someone learning now, very very important, Now Beyond your sexual immorality,
- 42:55Speaker 1: there are other expressions of immorality, pornography, masturbation, all kinds
- 43:05Speaker 1: of perversions. Sexual immorality may be the major issue, but
- 43:11Speaker 1: there are many orders, you see. The thing about the
- 43:14Speaker 1: thing about sexual immorality is that it is it requires
- 43:18Speaker 1: a number of conditions for that to happen. Number one,
- 43:21Speaker 1: it is atmosphere dependent. Number two, you will need the
- 43:25Speaker 1: mutual consent of the parties involved. But for things like
- 43:29Speaker 1: pornography and masturbation, these things do not need all these
- 43:34Speaker 1: extra things. So there are many people who for some
- 43:37Speaker 1: reason have been able to survive sexual immorality, but pornography,
- 43:44Speaker 1: masturbation and a lot of other bodily vices. Do you know,
- 43:50Speaker 1: the Bible says a man that looks at a woman
- 43:53Speaker 1: to lost after her in the mind of the spirit,
- 43:56Speaker 1: he has already committed immorality. So there are others who
- 44:00Speaker 1: who may not physically act it out, but as far
- 44:03Speaker 1: as God is concerned, they are victims because it is
- 44:07Speaker 1: a state of perpetual emotional entertainment. Just like sexual immorality, pornography, masturbation,
- 44:18Speaker 1: and so on. It does not care whether you are
- 44:21Speaker 1: a man of God. It does not care whether you
- 44:23Speaker 1: are married. It does not care whether you are single.
- 44:26Speaker 1: It does not care whether you are young, it does
- 44:29Speaker 1: not care whether you are old. If left on check,
- 44:33Speaker 1: it will attack and wreck your life. It's someone learning
- 44:36Speaker 1: now see number one, Sexual immorality and related perversions. There
- 44:41Speaker 1: are other expressions of immorality. Is still under the group
- 44:45Speaker 1: of immorality, drunkenness, drugs, every kind of harm that is
- 44:51Speaker 1: inflicted in the body that is inconsistent with God's pattern.
- 44:57Speaker 1: Are we together? So there are some will say, well,
- 45:00Speaker 1: I'm not sexually immoral, But then there are people who
- 45:04Speaker 1: are victims of drugs, victims of alcoholism, victims of all
- 45:09Speaker 1: kinds of vices. That's why it's written here sexual immorality
- 45:12Speaker 1: and related perversions. I need not mention other extreme ones, unfortunately,
- 45:20Speaker 1: but it is true in the world, and I hope
- 45:22Speaker 1: and pray not the church extensions of extreme cases, like
- 45:26Speaker 1: having affairs with little children and babies and animals and sodomy.
- 45:32Speaker 1: You know that our world today is full of all
- 45:34Speaker 1: kinds of things. The goal is not condemnation. The goal
- 45:38Speaker 1: is to be able to expose this and to bring
- 45:40Speaker 1: us to a point where we become free and free indeed,
- 45:45Speaker 1: because I can tell you many people are not free.
- 45:48Speaker 1: Are we together very quickly so that we deal with
- 45:51Speaker 1: the other things.
- 45:54Speaker 5: I want to give you.
- 45:56Speaker 1: Five steps, five scriptural steps to be free from sexual
- 46:03Speaker 1: immorality and every related perversion. And I wanted to please
- 46:08Speaker 1: listen and learn for yourself and for anybody. God may
- 46:12Speaker 1: give you the privilege of helping.
- 46:16Speaker 5: Are we together? Number one?
- 46:19Speaker 1: For you to be free from lost and immorality, the
- 46:23Speaker 1: first thing that must happen to you is that you
- 46:25Speaker 1: must admit it. Psalms fifty one and verse seventeen. Brokenness
- 46:32Speaker 1: is a necessary requirement if you're going to experience the
- 46:36Speaker 1: salvation of God. On this wise, it says, the sacrifices
- 46:40Speaker 1: of God, I hope you know. Psalm fifty one was
- 46:43Speaker 1: the sum of David. When Prophet Nathan came to him
- 46:48Speaker 1: and to tell him what had happened to him. He
- 46:50Speaker 1: was broken, repented, crying with sun cloth and ashes, and
- 46:55Speaker 1: this was part of his contemplations.
- 46:57Speaker 5: It says.
- 46:57Speaker 1: The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, a broken
- 47:02Speaker 1: and a contract hat.
- 47:04Speaker 5: Oh God, now will not despise.
- 47:10Speaker 1: Admit it. You must come to that point where you admitted. Listen,
- 47:14Speaker 1: let me tell you the truth. By the privilege of
- 47:16Speaker 1: God's grace, I can tell you I have cried with
- 47:19Speaker 1: and prayed with many people. And do you know there
- 47:22Speaker 1: are many people you see who are victims of sexual immorality,
- 47:27Speaker 1: and on further examining, they have very sincere hearts. Some
- 47:31Speaker 1: of them grew up from families where the first place
- 47:35Speaker 1: they had that that was wrong was even in church
- 47:38Speaker 1: because it was a common practice. There are cultures that
- 47:42Speaker 1: promoted as part of the cultural activities.
- 47:45Speaker 5: Is that true? So it is very difficult.
- 47:47Speaker 1: That's why in dealing with people, you must never throw
- 47:51Speaker 1: away the place of compassion and messy. There are people
- 47:55Speaker 1: who were left. They grew up on their own and
- 47:57Speaker 1: by themselves. They became victim of sexual exposures, even the
- 48:03Speaker 1: fourteen age somewhere, victims from those they grew up under
- 48:09Speaker 1: that trusted them. Now, there's no point bringing sad memories.
- 48:12Speaker 1: But the point is that for you to be free
- 48:15Speaker 1: from lost and sexual immorality and any expression of it,
- 48:22Speaker 1: you must get to a point of admittance that I
- 48:26Speaker 1: need help, my life needs the messy of God. Step
- 48:30Speaker 1: number two very quickly. If you're learning, say amen, step
- 48:34Speaker 1: number two. You must set a side time for a retreat.
- 48:39Speaker 1: As soon as possible, set aside time for a retreat.
- 48:44Speaker 1: A retreat gives you the platform to pray, to study scripture,
- 48:50Speaker 1: to fast and to be broken and repentance before God,
- 48:54Speaker 1: your maker. Can I tell you this? I think it was.
- 48:58Speaker 1: I can't remember the Man of God now was listening
- 49:00Speaker 1: to years ago? And is that any weakness or addressed
- 49:03Speaker 1: will eventually bring you down. It is not the weakness,
- 49:07Speaker 1: it is living it. And assuming there is no problem,
- 49:13Speaker 1: is someone learning now? You must set aside.
- 49:17Speaker 5: Time for a retreat.
- 49:20Speaker 1: A retreat is a time alone with God. Can I
- 49:22Speaker 1: tell you when you are dealing with something this can
- 49:25Speaker 1: sell us. Nothing should be too important. You can say
- 49:29Speaker 1: I am too busy, because this sustains the potential I'm
- 49:33Speaker 1: going to tell you. Do you know the assignment of
- 49:36Speaker 1: sexual immorality? I will tell you the assignment of sexual
- 49:40Speaker 1: immorality is not the sex that destroys you. There is
- 49:44Speaker 1: something it does to you spiritually. When the devil wants
- 49:48Speaker 1: to attach you, there is a threshold level of spiritual
- 49:54Speaker 1: fire that if you possess it cannot allow for a
- 49:58Speaker 1: demonic attack.
- 49:59Speaker 5: And so the the way.
- 50:01Speaker 1: That it happens is to introduce this to your life,
- 50:04Speaker 1: and it begins to bring you down to a level
- 50:07Speaker 1: spiritually where an attack upon your life any dimension becomes
- 50:12Speaker 1: possible away together. One of the things it may interest
- 50:18Speaker 1: you to know is that there is a strong relationship
- 50:21Speaker 1: between the spirit of immorality and the spirit of untimely death.
- 50:26Speaker 5: There is a strong relationship.
- 50:31Speaker 1: So Number one, admit it with humility and brokenness, crying
- 50:36Speaker 1: to the God of your salvation.
- 50:38Speaker 5: Number two.
- 50:38Speaker 1: A retreat is your next part of God, a sincere
- 50:43Speaker 1: time alone with God, to cry out your heart before
- 50:46Speaker 1: your maker in prayer, in fasting, in genuine repentance. When
- 50:58Speaker 1: Jonah went to Niniveh and announced to them the imminent
- 51:01Speaker 1: destruction that was coming upon them, the Bible says, immediately
- 51:05Speaker 1: the king of Ninivet declared it first, every one fasted
- 51:09Speaker 1: till the animals, and all of them wore cuclothes and
- 51:13Speaker 1: ashes and cried before God. The thing about God is
- 51:17Speaker 1: the moment there is brokenness. His messy is ready to come.
- 51:21Speaker 1: Is someone learning? Let me recommend their scripture for you
- 51:25Speaker 1: that you use for your retreat Psalm fifty one. The
- 51:28Speaker 1: whole of Psalm fifty one is the sum of messy
- 51:32Speaker 1: This was the cry, the pouring out, Isa, have messy
- 51:35Speaker 1: upon me, Oh God, according to thy loving kindness, according
- 51:39Speaker 1: to the multitude of thy tender messages, blots out my transgression.
- 51:44Speaker 1: And then he says inverse to wash me thoroughly from
- 51:46Speaker 1: mine iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. Verse three,
- 51:50Speaker 1: it says, for I acknowledge my transgression, and my sin
- 51:56Speaker 1: is ever before me. Verse four against the the only
- 52:00Speaker 1: have I seen and done this evil in thy side,
- 52:03Speaker 1: that that mightest be justified when thou speakest and declare
- 52:07Speaker 1: when thou judgest. Verse five, it says, behold, I was
- 52:10Speaker 1: shaping in iniquity. Look at the p ssum is pouring
- 52:13Speaker 1: his heart before God and said, listen, this was a
- 52:16Speaker 1: tendency that has been fighting me for many years. He
- 52:19Speaker 1: couldn't find the expression because I was not yet king.
- 52:22Speaker 1: Can I tell you need to cry for God's messy
- 52:25Speaker 1: because there are many people who are not victims of this,
- 52:28Speaker 1: not because the devil is.
- 52:30Speaker 5: Not attacking you.
- 52:31Speaker 1: The opportunity that gives you room to execute it has
- 52:35Speaker 1: not yet come, and the spirit of loss can lie
- 52:39Speaker 1: quietly for decades, waiting for the day you are exalted.
- 52:44Speaker 1: I can't tell you what came upon David did not
- 52:47Speaker 1: come upon him in the palace. It was there right
- 52:49Speaker 1: from when he was in the bush. Who will come
- 52:52Speaker 1: to you in the bush? When they are alliance? And
- 52:54Speaker 1: the rest?
- 52:57Speaker 5: Are we together?
- 52:59Speaker 1: So that this immediately should damage any sense of self
- 53:03Speaker 1: righteousness or believing. Oh I think I'm fine? Ah ah.
- 53:07Speaker 5: There are many people.
- 53:08Speaker 1: If you are exposed to one ten their conditions, you
- 53:11Speaker 1: will solve like a pack of God. COYNONI are we
- 53:17Speaker 1: together the purified bride? So number one, you must admit
- 53:23Speaker 1: and acknowledge that you need help and the messy of God.
- 53:27Speaker 1: It does not matter whether it happened through your carelessness
- 53:30Speaker 1: giving into the flesh. It does not matter whether it's
- 53:33Speaker 1: a product of an attack and spirit. It does not
- 53:35Speaker 1: matter whether it has come as a result of foundations
- 53:38Speaker 1: and ancestry patterns. Look at our dear sister, the woman
- 53:42Speaker 1: who shared this. You see that her legs were broken,
- 53:45Speaker 1: same position, same time, the sister, the same thing happening.
- 53:49Speaker 1: There are strong demonic patterns. Let me tell you the truth.
- 53:53Speaker 1: Except you deal with this by revelation, you can be
- 53:56Speaker 1: a man of God. You can be a leader, you
- 53:58Speaker 1: can be a father, You can be a business man.
- 54:02Speaker 1: That spirit from its ancestry will haunt you until you
- 54:06Speaker 1: use spiritual intelligence to deal with it.
- 54:14Speaker 5: Number three.
- 54:15Speaker 1: Help Now Number one I said, admit and acknowledge it
- 54:19Speaker 1: your need for help. Number two, you must set out
- 54:22Speaker 1: time for a personal retreat, a time of honest appraisal,
- 54:26Speaker 1: flog it out with destiny, with all sincerity.
- 54:30Speaker 5: Between you and God. Number three.
- 54:32Speaker 1: Where it persists and is still beyond your control, you
- 54:36Speaker 1: must seek help.
- 54:38Speaker 5: You must seek help.
- 54:39Speaker 1: You must be honest enough to seek help.
- 54:45Speaker 5: You must seek help. Now let me post.
- 54:49Speaker 1: Here for a minute and just comment very quickly. I'm
- 54:51Speaker 1: dwelling on this issue of sexual immorality because I just
- 54:54Speaker 1: want us to deal with it a little bit before
- 54:57Speaker 1: we now discuss the rest. It's a very serious issue.
- 55:00Speaker 1: Do you know, please look up? Do you know that
- 55:02Speaker 1: in seeking help? I submit to you that there are
- 55:06Speaker 1: many people who desire to seek help. But the reason
- 55:10Speaker 1: is history has shown that especially wemen of God have
- 55:16Speaker 1: not sustained the kind of intelligence and maturity to manage
- 55:20Speaker 1: people's private and painful issues. Is that true? There are
- 55:24Speaker 1: many people who have been wounded because they came and
- 55:27Speaker 1: open up to their prophet, their man of God and said, listen,
- 55:31Speaker 1: I think there is something I'm struggling with. Prayer partners,
- 55:36Speaker 1: accountability partners, mentors, men of God have in many regards
- 55:40Speaker 1: disappointed the trust that people have had for them. That
- 55:44Speaker 1: is the reason why you see today people have resorted
- 55:46Speaker 1: to flying abroad and going to one meet therapist at
- 55:49Speaker 1: least who would deal with it professionally and don't even
- 55:53Speaker 1: know you. Rather than coming to cry to say, Man
- 55:56Speaker 1: of God, I think there is a challenge in my life.
- 55:59Speaker 1: Many of us will pray and say, oh, let's pray Father,
- 56:01Speaker 1: the devil cannot take over this person. And later on
- 56:04Speaker 1: before evening you have told your wife. As a spouse,
- 56:08Speaker 1: you have told your husband, Ah, this our prayer group,
- 56:11Speaker 1: My God, God is bringing a lot of deliverance. You
- 56:14Speaker 1: see the problem now. And then the person who tell
- 56:18Speaker 1: another person that said, don't tell anybody, I would deny.
- 56:20Speaker 1: I don't know you when anything backfires. Let me tell
- 56:26Speaker 1: you the truth. It takes more than being anointed to
- 56:29Speaker 1: help people. You must be trained. We must incorporate this
- 56:34Speaker 1: in our mentorship platforms as we build people. Anoint in
- 56:37Speaker 1: our revelation is not the only thing that qualifies for
- 56:39Speaker 1: spiritual leadership. People must sustain psychological knowledge, the maturity and
- 56:45Speaker 1: know how to manage sensitive things. Some of these people
- 56:48Speaker 1: are in positions where managing and dealing with these issues
- 56:52Speaker 1: can have severe effects on them, their organizations, their platforms.
- 56:58Speaker 1: You're a man of God here, listen within this place.
- 57:01Speaker 1: We must know that when people open their pain up
- 57:04Speaker 1: to you, it is a trust you must protect.
- 57:09Speaker 5: Are we learning?
- 57:11Speaker 1: But I want to tell you this help is powerful.
- 57:14Speaker 1: It is amazing how something that looks like a mountain
- 57:17Speaker 1: can be deflated in the presence.
- 57:19Speaker 5: Of genuine help.
- 57:21Speaker 1: There are people who are carrying spirits, so counselling will
- 57:25Speaker 1: not solve the problem. Counselling. You may walk around counselling
- 57:29Speaker 1: and it's okay, this positive confession. You will speak that
- 57:32Speaker 1: in Jesus name, I'm okay, and that spirit we just
- 57:34Speaker 1: wait at the door of the counseling as soon as
- 57:37Speaker 1: you are coming out. Before then, it has got seven orders.
- 57:40Speaker 1: That's what the Bible says, and it will land on
- 57:42Speaker 1: you in a way that you cannot imagine. That's why,
- 57:45Speaker 1: whether sexual immorality or people who are on drugs when
- 57:48Speaker 1: you are talking to them, have you seen how quiet
- 57:50Speaker 1: you just keep quiet?
- 57:52Speaker 5: Will you smoke again?
- 57:53Speaker 1: No, will you drink me? No, that that's the last
- 57:54Speaker 1: time by evening. Do you know how this spirit works?
- 57:58Speaker 1: Even if they travel to a rich way, they don't
- 58:00Speaker 1: know anybody. The spirit will coordinate a way. They must
- 58:04Speaker 1: know who sells what is a spirit? So number one
- 58:17Speaker 1: admits Number two a retreat. Set aside time to pray
- 58:23Speaker 1: and fast and study scripture and cry out your heart
- 58:27Speaker 1: in genuine brokenness and repentance before God. Number three, If
- 58:32Speaker 1: and when the leed arises, seek help. Seek help from
- 58:35Speaker 1: mature people your pastor seek help from your spiritual father.
- 58:39Speaker 1: Seek help from mentors, people who have demonstrated maturity to
- 58:43Speaker 1: be able to handle those issues.
- 58:45Speaker 5: Number four very quickly.
- 58:48Speaker 1: Key Number four is what many people avoid and ignore,
- 58:52Speaker 1: and it is the reason why their deliverance is not complete.
- 58:55Speaker 1: Number four Create rules and boundaries in and around your life.
- 59:02Speaker 1: Create rules and boundaries in and around your life. Probabs
- 59:06Speaker 1: twenty five and verse twenty eight. Please twenty five twenty
- 59:11Speaker 1: eight proverbs. He that had no rule over his own
- 59:15Speaker 1: spirit is like a city that is broken down and
- 59:19Speaker 1: without walls. Create rules. When you entire relationship with your
- 59:25Speaker 1: spouse intended to be create rules, Agree and pray and say,
- 59:29Speaker 1: in the name of Jesus Christ, who keep this relationship
- 59:32Speaker 1: pure up until marriage.
- 59:34Speaker 5: Create rules.
- 59:35Speaker 1: Don't allow your emotions to suggest from beginning. Set to
- 59:39Speaker 1: lead that by the grace of God, as God grants message,
- 59:42Speaker 1: this is how it will be. If you're with me,
- 59:44Speaker 1: say amen. You must create rules, and you must create
- 59:48Speaker 1: boundaries in and around your life. It's not enough to
- 59:53Speaker 1: repent before God. It's not enough to now be renewed
- 59:57Speaker 1: in your decision. There are cis that you must create,
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: especially for sexual immorality. Sexual immorality is highly atmosphere dependent.
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: You cannot stand and sleep with somebody in front of
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: a police station or in front of a law court.
- 1:00:12Speaker 5: The atmosphere is not right.
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: Maybe difficult to sleep with somebody when don when he's
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: playing Allelujah. Now, please write, please write. Let's let's get
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: to work. There's a lot for us to do. Don't
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: just laugh. I hope he's entering you tonight. There is
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: no tell them. God is speaking to all of us.
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: Are we together? Pay attention? Please So the final encouragement
- 1:00:52Speaker 1: for you is connect to a larger.
- 1:00:55Speaker 5: Family of believers. Community.
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: Kingdom living is the key to sustaining kingdom values. Community
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: kingdom living is the key to sustaining kingdom values. Hebrews
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: Chapter ten and verse twenty five amplified, Please give it
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: to us Hebrews ten twenty five amplified. Not forsaking or
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: neglecting to assemble together as many believers, as is the
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: habit of some people, but admonishing, warning, urging, and encouraging
- 1:01:32Speaker 1: one another, and all the more faithfully as you see
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: the day approaching, It says, not forsaking the assembling of believers.
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: When you connect to a larger body of believers, it
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: can help you preserve your kingdom values. Are we together? Yes,
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: very very powerful and important. So let me run through
- 1:01:54Speaker 1: the step finally, that to be free from the spirit
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: of lost sexual immorality, masturbation, pornography, and all kinds of
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: vicist whatever it is. The first thing is you must
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: admit that there is need for help.
- 1:02:08Speaker 5: Number two, you must be able.
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: To set a time of retreat of brokenness, repentimes before God.
- 1:02:18Speaker 5: Number three seek help.
- 1:02:22Speaker 1: Number four you must create rules and boundaries in and
- 1:02:26Speaker 1: around your life. And then number five, connect to a
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: larger family of believers.
- 1:02:33Speaker 5: Has God helped someone?
- 1:02:34Speaker 1: Please lay your hand on your head in one minute
- 1:02:36Speaker 1: and cry to the Lord Father. I you obtain messy,
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: preserve me. Go ahead and pray, preserve me, Preserve me.
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: If the message has hit you, and perhaps your life
- 1:02:47Speaker 1: has been that way, do not be discouraged. Remember the
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: one who God loves is the one he chastises. Lord,
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: I you obtain grace. Someone is praying. I you obtain grace.
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: Deliver me from sexual immorality, Deliver me from lost. For you,
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: it may not be sexual immorality, but how about lost
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: on godly thoughts that roma around your mind seeking for
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: an opportunity to be executed.
- 1:03:11Speaker 5: You can live and work in freedom.
- 1:03:15Speaker 1: Please pray. You are praying from the depth of your heart.
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: For some of you is drunkenness, alcoholism, some of you
- 1:03:22Speaker 1: drugs and all kinds of vices. The purified bride must
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: be free from this. Don't say it does not matter.
- 1:03:31Speaker 1: The purified church must obtain grace from God. Please pray.
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: Doesn't matter whether you are a pastor apostle prophet. God
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: can give you a new beginning. Provide that your heart
- 1:03:45Speaker 1: is open to cry. You are following online, you're watching
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: from any nation. I like you to pray. This is
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: not a message onto condemnation. It is a sincere admittance
- 1:03:55Speaker 1: that will lead to purity, holiness, and left you to
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: a higher level of spiritual exploits. Someone is praying, Lord,
- 1:04:03Speaker 1: show me messy, Show me messy, Show me messy. I
- 1:04:07Speaker 1: cry onto you. You may want to extend that prayer
- 1:04:13Speaker 1: to someone you know and love.
- 1:04:15Speaker 5: Lord.
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: Show my spouse mercy probably, Lord, show my husband my wife,
- 1:04:20Speaker 1: Show my children messy, Show my parents messy, show my
- 1:04:24Speaker 1: pastor messy, show my CEO messy. Show this politician messy.
- 1:04:30Speaker 1: It's not a time of condemnation. The fall of one
- 1:04:33Speaker 1: is the fall of all. The rising of one is
- 1:04:36Speaker 1: the rising of all. Were a body that is interested
- 1:04:39Speaker 1: in a corporate growth. I like you to pray from
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: the depth of your heart. Pray for everybody you know.
- 1:04:47Speaker 1: Prayer groups, churches, ministries, past us, leaders, politicians, heads of government.
- 1:04:56Speaker 5: No one, No one.
- 1:04:58Speaker 1: Is beyond being tempted with sexual immorality. No one is
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: beyond being tempted with other immoral perversions. Has nothing to
- 1:05:06Speaker 1: do with being good or bad. Pray that those who
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: are bound by any and all kinds of addictions let
- 1:05:13Speaker 1: it be broken in the name of Jesus. You are
- 1:05:15Speaker 1: praying for yourself and you are praying for them, praying

- 1:05:33Speaker 1: to be purified from sexual immorality and related perversions. Seen
- 1:05:39Speaker 1: number two. I'm giving you seven very quick the second
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: scene that the body of Christ needs to be purified from. Indeed,
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: the church is lost for money and material things.
- 1:05:53Speaker 5: Please write it down.
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: Lost for money and material things Philippians chapter three.
- 1:06:00Speaker 5: Let's hurry up.
- 1:06:00Speaker 1: Place from verse seventeen to nineteen. The lost for money
- 1:06:04Speaker 1: and material things. It says, brethren, be follow us together
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: of me and mark them which work so as you
- 1:06:13Speaker 1: have for an example.
- 1:06:15Speaker 2: Uh huh.
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: I'm trying to make sure that I pull these things.
- 1:06:23Speaker 1: Mark chapter eight, Mark chapter eight and verse thirty six. Yes,
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: what shall it profit a man? Is it in your Bible?
- 1:06:38Speaker 1: If he gains the whole world that's a business terminology
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: and loses his own soul. This is another cancer that
- 1:06:47Speaker 1: is sweeping the body of Christ, and we need God
- 1:06:51Speaker 1: to show us messy. We are victims of it as
- 1:06:54Speaker 1: men of God, as churches, as believer us.
- 1:06:58Speaker 5: The loss for.
- 1:06:59Speaker 1: Money and material things firstimotive chapter six.
- 1:07:03Speaker 5: Please and these six to ten.
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: Lost for money and material things first Timotive six six
- 1:07:10Speaker 1: to ten. But godliness with contentment, the Bible says, it's
- 1:07:14Speaker 1: great gain, for we brought nothing into this world.
- 1:07:19Speaker 5: Please look at me.
- 1:07:20Speaker 1: Have you ever seen a naked baby come out of
- 1:07:22Speaker 1: his mother's womb holding dollars or holding gold, and say,
- 1:07:25Speaker 1: I came from heaven. Leave my thing for me.
- 1:07:27Speaker 5: Everybody comes naked.
- 1:07:30Speaker 1: And have you ever seen a dead man who is departing,
- 1:07:33Speaker 1: and as soon as they're burying him, he just riches
- 1:07:35Speaker 1: and draws his gold chain to his grave. It does
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: not happen from birth. And at your point of transition,
- 1:07:42Speaker 1: you are empty. This should give us wisdom. Already are
- 1:07:46Speaker 1: we together? Let's finish up that scripture, for we brought
- 1:07:50Speaker 1: nothing into this world, and it is certain we can
- 1:07:53Speaker 1: carry nothing out, uh huh. And having food and Raymond,
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: let us there with become ten nine Watch this, it says.
- 1:08:02Speaker 1: But they that will be rich fall into temptations. I
- 1:08:05Speaker 1: will explain this for you, and a snare, and into
- 1:08:09Speaker 1: many foolish and hurtful lost which drown men into destruction
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: and perdition. Verse ten. For the love of money, the
- 1:08:18Speaker 1: word there is a ross and on godly affinity and
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: attachment to money is the foundation of every kind of evil.
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: It is the strengthener of all kinds of evil, he said,
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: which well, some convetted after have ered from the faith
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: and have passed themselves through with many sorrows. Please look up.
- 1:08:40Speaker 1: I believe in prosperity. It is God's desire to bless
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: his people. Materialism is not having materials. Materialism is the
- 1:08:50Speaker 1: influence of materials upon your relationship. You see, the Bible
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: tells us that God and Mammon, this spirit that controls
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: worldly world, that it seeks for allegiance. Money does not
- 1:09:05Speaker 1: just want to end up in your pocket.
- 1:09:07Speaker 5: Money wants you to end up in its pocket.
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: Are we together now, Yes, When our entire salmons, our
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: entire lives, our entire conferences, our entire conventions, with all
- 1:09:23Speaker 1: due respect and honor to the Body of Christ. When
- 1:09:26Speaker 1: everything becomes about money, you cannot hold an evangelistic crusaid.
- 1:09:31Speaker 1: And right there, before souls come, we're talking about money.
- 1:09:36Speaker 1: There is no business between evangelism and talking about prosperity.
- 1:09:39Speaker 1: Principles that should be in a believers conference. Those who
- 1:09:43Speaker 1: have now been saved, then it is part of the
- 1:09:46Speaker 1: groud process that mentors and builds them. Allelujah some of us. Yeah,
- 1:09:51Speaker 1: as you are looking at me, you can kill because
- 1:09:54Speaker 1: of money. Are we together? Yes? Our affinity for money.
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: You can have ten million in your account. If ten
- 1:10:03Speaker 1: thousand is missing, you can go around even in the
- 1:10:06Speaker 1: night with torchlight to sleep and wake up in the morning.
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: You will not wait till it's morning. You must complete
- 1:10:12Speaker 1: that ten million, ten thousand affinity material things. This has
- 1:10:21Speaker 1: controlled who and what we marry. This has controlled who
- 1:10:25Speaker 1: and what we get. Money can call you leave Nigeria
- 1:10:28Speaker 1: and come to UK can say no, no, no, go back again.
- 1:10:31Speaker 1: Money controls people around the world like a remote control. Listen,
- 1:10:35Speaker 1: let me tell you the truth I've taught you on
- 1:10:37Speaker 1: financial principles.
- 1:10:38Speaker 5: It is not sarcasm.
- 1:10:40Speaker 1: God wants to bless us, but not by becoming so
- 1:10:43Speaker 1: emotionally obsessed and attached with money. There are people the
- 1:10:48Speaker 1: moment they became wealthy, they told your wives. From today
- 1:10:51Speaker 1: you will not stay with me, go out into the
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: other room because I don't trust anybody.
- 1:10:56Speaker 5: I've suffered too much. Listen to me.
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: You can be prosperous, lay off gold as does beyond
- 1:11:11Speaker 1: your wildest imagination.
- 1:11:13Speaker 5: And yet not be attached to it.
- 1:11:16Speaker 1: The goal of bringing this right now is to be
- 1:11:19Speaker 1: able to teach you that God wants you to prosper
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: marketing poverty as a sign of holiness and pieties inaccurate. No,
- 1:11:28Speaker 1: if poverty were good, some of it to be found
- 1:11:31Speaker 1: in heaven, and since there is none of it found there,
- 1:11:34Speaker 1: it means it did not come from there. Are we
- 1:11:37Speaker 1: together now? So I'm not teaching you from a standpoint
- 1:11:42Speaker 1: of an irresponsible man of God who is or mindful
- 1:11:45Speaker 1: of the reality of the times. I understand, and there
- 1:11:49Speaker 1: are scriptural strategies. And for as long as I live,
- 1:11:52Speaker 1: among the many mentorship teachings that you will receive is empowerment.
- 1:11:58Speaker 1: I am vocal, and I am honor, shame and honor
- 1:12:01Speaker 1: pologetic about the blessing of God's people. He says, someone
- 1:12:05Speaker 1: that will never change till I see his face. My
- 1:12:07Speaker 1: assignment is to balance you, to see to it that
- 1:12:10Speaker 1: it does not become obsession, because.
- 1:12:13Speaker 5: We need to balance this.
- 1:12:15Speaker 1: For many believers, our obsession, the reason why we go
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: to church and the entire scope of our Christian pursuit
- 1:12:22Speaker 1: is money. Is the reason why people can steal, people
- 1:12:25Speaker 1: can do anything because of money, and sadly in many
- 1:12:29Speaker 1: Christian circles. Respectfully speaking, the major index for measuring faith
- 1:12:35Speaker 1: is wealth. So if your faith is working, let me
- 1:12:38Speaker 1: see it by the car you are driving. If your
- 1:12:41Speaker 1: faith is working, let me see it by the house
- 1:12:43Speaker 1: if the man of God, it shouldn't be. While we
- 1:12:50Speaker 1: continue to reject poverty, we must cry and pray that
- 1:12:54Speaker 1: God will grant us grace even by his messy to
- 1:12:58Speaker 1: be people who can look at me. Money is the
- 1:13:00Speaker 1: reason why many believers compromise.
- 1:13:03Speaker 5: Someone will dangle.
- 1:13:05Speaker 1: One million and you say, ah, I'd rather enjoy it
- 1:13:08Speaker 1: now and tell God sorry later. The body of Christ
- 1:13:15Speaker 1: needs to be delivered from lost from money and material things.
- 1:13:22Speaker 1: Seen number three is God helping us. Let me tell
- 1:13:29Speaker 1: you the truth before we go to number three. The
- 1:13:32Speaker 1: cure for lost for money and material things is number one.
- 1:13:38Speaker 1: To be properly mentored on the Kingdom's pathway to wealth
- 1:13:43Speaker 1: and abundance, you can do well to listen to my
- 1:13:46Speaker 1: teaching the Power to Get Wealth. We have done several
- 1:13:50Speaker 1: teachings along this line.
- 1:13:51Speaker 5: You would observe in.
- 1:13:52Speaker 1: That teaching that I taught you that the first law,
- 1:13:56Speaker 1: the first spiritual law for wealth, that abordance is not
- 1:13:58Speaker 1: typing is not giving. The first law is the law
- 1:14:03Speaker 1: of absolute surrender, until you are dead to yourself, dead
- 1:14:09Speaker 1: to the flesh, and a life onto God. Your obeying
- 1:14:12Speaker 1: business principles is simply by gain an investment you are
- 1:14:15Speaker 1: doing with God. So there are many people who bring
- 1:14:19Speaker 1: tithes and bring offering as a bribe as an exchange.
- 1:14:22Speaker 5: God, you better see it.
- 1:14:23Speaker 1: I'm dropping it, and you drop it and go back
- 1:14:25Speaker 1: and say God, I'm waiting, And God says, what do
- 1:14:28Speaker 1: you really love the money or me? The law of
- 1:14:31Speaker 1: absolute surrender? They gave of themselves first the Macedonian Church,
- 1:14:36Speaker 1: and then they gave up their substance.
- 1:14:39Speaker 5: So now number three are we learning.
- 1:14:44Speaker 1: The third sin that the bride of Christ, which is
- 1:14:46Speaker 1: the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, must be pouched
- 1:14:49Speaker 1: from is the sin of witchcraft and extra biblical practices.
- 1:14:54Speaker 1: Please write it down. This is the third. This one
- 1:14:57Speaker 1: is a very serious one. Is God blessing us already?
- 1:15:02Speaker 1: Show us the ancient pa, will you lead us alone?
- 1:15:09Speaker 1: Eternal highway?
- 1:15:11Speaker 2: We want to fall, Oh, the ways.
- 1:15:14Speaker 1: Of Jesus, we want to enter yours. Show us the
- 1:15:22Speaker 1: ane shend Pa, will you lead us alone? E turnal highway.
- 1:15:31Speaker 1: We want to fall, Oh the food steps of Jesus,
- 1:15:36Speaker 1: we want to and Deuteronomy chapter eighteen. Let's hurry up
- 1:15:42Speaker 1: from verse nine. The third scene that the body of
- 1:15:45Speaker 1: Christ needs to be purified from is the sin of
- 1:15:48Speaker 1: witchcraft and extra biblical practices. When thou art come into
- 1:15:55Speaker 1: the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee reading
- 1:15:59Speaker 1: to four, it says, thou shall not learn to do
- 1:16:03Speaker 1: after the abominations of those nations. There shall not be
- 1:16:09Speaker 1: found among you anyone that maketh his son or his
- 1:16:13Speaker 1: daughter to pass through fire, or that used divination, or
- 1:16:17Speaker 1: an observer of times, or an enchanter or a witch
- 1:16:22Speaker 1: next verse or a charmer or a consultant with familiar spirits,
- 1:16:28Speaker 1: or a wizard or a necromancer verse twelve. For all
- 1:16:32Speaker 1: that do these things are an abomination onto the Lord.
- 1:16:36Speaker 1: And because of these abominations, the Lord that God don't
- 1:16:39Speaker 1: drive them out from before the thirteen. Thou shall be
- 1:16:44Speaker 1: perfect with the Lord that God. In fact, we can stop.
- 1:16:47Speaker 1: There are we together? Exodus chapter thirteen. Exodus thirteen, let's
- 1:16:55Speaker 1: start from verse one. Is it girl that I meant
- 1:17:00Speaker 1: to say? Isekel thirteen? Isekiel Chapter thirteen, and the word
- 1:17:13Speaker 1: of the Lord came on to me, saying verse two,
- 1:17:16Speaker 1: son of man prophess high, against the prophets of Israel,
- 1:17:20Speaker 1: that prophets high, and said, thou onto them, that PROPHEESSI
- 1:17:24Speaker 1: out of their own hearts, here ye the word of
- 1:17:27Speaker 1: the Lord. Verse three, thod Saith, the Lord God war
- 1:17:31Speaker 1: onto the foolish prophets that followed their own spirits and
- 1:17:35Speaker 1: have seen nothing. Verse four. All israel thy prophets are
- 1:17:40Speaker 1: like foxes in the deserts uh huh. Ye have not
- 1:17:44Speaker 1: gone up into the gaps, neither made up for the
- 1:17:46Speaker 1: hedge of the House of Israel to stand in the battle.
- 1:17:49Speaker 5: You know in the day of the Lord.
- 1:17:51Speaker 1: Verse six. They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying,
- 1:17:57Speaker 1: the Lord saith, and the Lord hath not sent them,
- 1:18:01Speaker 1: and they have made orders to hope that they would
- 1:18:04Speaker 1: confirm the word. Verse seven, were reading to ten, have
- 1:18:07Speaker 1: ye not seen a vain vision? And have ye not
- 1:18:11Speaker 1: spoken a lie in divination? Whereas ye say the Lord
- 1:18:15Speaker 1: said it all be it I have not spoken verse eight.
- 1:18:19Speaker 1: Therefore to say it the Lord God, because ye have
- 1:18:22Speaker 1: spoken vanity and seen lies. Therefore behold, I am against you.
- 1:18:26Speaker 1: Say it the Lord. Verse nine, it says, and my
- 1:18:32Speaker 1: hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity and
- 1:18:35Speaker 1: that divine lies, and shall not be in the assembly
- 1:18:39Speaker 1: of my people. Neither shall they be written in the
- 1:18:42Speaker 1: writings of the House of Israel, neither shall they enter
- 1:18:45Speaker 1: into the land of Israel. And ye shall know that
- 1:18:48Speaker 1: I am the Lord by God. Verse ten, he says,
- 1:18:54Speaker 1: because even because they have seduced my people, say in peace,
- 1:18:59Speaker 1: and there was no peace, and one built up a
- 1:19:01Speaker 1: world and law. Others have dubbed it and with on
- 1:19:05Speaker 1: tempered motar. Let's add eleven. The last verse. It says,
- 1:19:09Speaker 1: say onto them which dubbed it with on tempered mortar,
- 1:19:13Speaker 1: that it shall fall and shall be an overflowing shower.
- 1:19:16Speaker 1: And you know this, and that he was rending judgment
- 1:19:19Speaker 1: upon them the prophets that lie. The word prophet yet
- 1:19:23Speaker 1: does not just mean prophetic office. It includes any and
- 1:19:27Speaker 1: all men of God and any and all leaders. In
- 1:19:30Speaker 1: Acts chapter sixteen, a very popular scripture.
- 1:19:32Speaker 5: You know about that.
- 1:19:33Speaker 1: From verse sixteen, the Bible talks about a young damn
- 1:19:36Speaker 1: cell who had the spirit of divination.
- 1:19:39Speaker 5: Give us Acts sixteen sixteen.
- 1:19:42Speaker 1: We're reading to eighteen, and it came to pass that
- 1:19:44Speaker 1: as we went to prayer, a certain damn cell possessed
- 1:19:48Speaker 1: with a spirit of divination, possessed with what a spirit
- 1:19:53Speaker 1: of divination met us? Which brought our masters much gain?
- 1:19:57Speaker 1: By soothsaying the same followed Paul and Us and Christ, saying,
- 1:20:03Speaker 1: look at the accuracy of her prophecy. These men are
- 1:20:06Speaker 1: the servants of the Most High God. Was it a
- 1:20:08Speaker 1: lie which show us the way of salvation? Was it
- 1:20:12Speaker 1: a lie that was the best summary of the assignment there?
- 1:20:16Speaker 1: And yet the spirit that was behind it was the
- 1:20:18Speaker 1: spirit of divination the Bible says and deeds?
- 1:20:22Speaker 5: Did she many days?
- 1:20:23Speaker 1: But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit
- 1:20:28Speaker 1: by commanded the name of Jesus Christ to come out
- 1:20:31Speaker 1: of her, and the spirit came out the same hour.
- 1:20:34Speaker 1: Please look up. Let me tell you the truth. It
- 1:20:38Speaker 1: is no news, and it is nothing to shy away
- 1:20:41Speaker 1: from that. Not all who named the name of Christ,
- 1:20:45Speaker 1: not all who are involved in ministry and spiritual leadership,
- 1:20:49Speaker 1: are sincerely from God. There is no need. It's not
- 1:20:53Speaker 1: about prejudice or biases. But let me say this. There
- 1:20:57Speaker 1: are people who have mixed the baby and the bad
- 1:20:59Speaker 1: word and call everybody who prophesies, everybody who works miracles,
- 1:21:06Speaker 1: anybody with an unusual manifestation of the grace of God
- 1:21:10Speaker 1: upon his life. It is easy for society to brand
- 1:21:13Speaker 1: you and to say there's something wrong with you. It
- 1:21:15Speaker 1: is amazing how we say we believe in God. It
- 1:21:18Speaker 1: is amazing how we say we believe in all the
- 1:21:20Speaker 1: miracles that happen in the Bible, and yet when they
- 1:21:23Speaker 1: happen here and now we are afraid of them, it
- 1:21:26Speaker 1: means we never believed it. Are we together? It is
- 1:21:30Speaker 1: no news that many people. Let me tell you this.
- 1:21:32Speaker 1: I teach the school of ministry that when it has
- 1:21:35Speaker 1: to do with purity of vessels, there are.
- 1:21:38Speaker 5: Three kinds of people.
- 1:21:39Speaker 1: Number One, there are those we call the pure breed,
- 1:21:42Speaker 1: those who sincerely love God and have worked in keeping
- 1:21:45Speaker 1: with the divine patterns that make for the purity of ministry.
- 1:21:49Speaker 1: They have not soiled their hands with divination or any
- 1:21:52Speaker 1: satanic thing. Number Two, there are those who are ino sentenced,
- 1:21:56Speaker 1: since here their call is genuine, but wrong mentorship or
- 1:22:00Speaker 1: pressure or ignorance led them to go and fraternize with groups, associations,
- 1:22:06Speaker 1: or mentorship platforms that introduce them. So these are people
- 1:22:10Speaker 1: who are not evil, they are only corrupted. Then the
- 1:22:14Speaker 1: third category are people who from the inception they were
- 1:22:17Speaker 1: not of God. Are we together now? So it is
- 1:22:22Speaker 1: important to create this divide. Do not watch anybody walking
- 1:22:26Speaker 1: supernaturally in the power of God, or prophesying, or with
- 1:22:29Speaker 1: an unusual dimension of the operation of the spirit, and
- 1:22:33Speaker 1: just brand them and said this a demonic. It is
- 1:22:35Speaker 1: not so. If Jesus were alive and he worked on earth,
- 1:22:39Speaker 1: would have called him heretic as the scribes did.
- 1:22:43Speaker 5: Are we together?
- 1:22:44Speaker 1: Look at the many things Jesus did, He's part on
- 1:22:47Speaker 1: the ground. Would you sit down for a man of God,
- 1:22:49Speaker 1: even Jesus Christ. What kind of Jesus who spit on
- 1:22:52Speaker 1: the ground and rob it on your eyes and say
- 1:22:54Speaker 1: go to a river? Does that look like compassion? It?
- 1:22:57Speaker 5: They will leave me there?
- 1:22:58Speaker 1: And yet the Bible says it leaves me besides steel waters.
- 1:23:01Speaker 1: Now he's sending me a saying go by yourself. Are
- 1:23:06Speaker 1: we together? Many times we love Jesus just because he's
- 1:23:11Speaker 1: not here. If it comes to the earth after one week,
- 1:23:14Speaker 1: many of us will be tired and say go back.
- 1:23:15Speaker 1: We don't understand you are gained, but I can tell
- 1:23:21Speaker 1: you the truth By the authority of scripture and the
- 1:23:25Speaker 1: evidences that scriptures show that there are people who have
- 1:23:29Speaker 1: fraternized with all kinds of dark powers and the money things. Now,
- 1:23:35Speaker 1: let me tell you this, Please look up in the kingdom.
- 1:23:39Speaker 5: It is not all about results.
- 1:23:40Speaker 1: The pathway that leads to that result is how God
- 1:23:44Speaker 1: is glorified, not the result in itself.
- 1:23:47Speaker 5: There is a way you can.
- 1:23:48Speaker 1: Practice healing, practice, deliverance, practice your faith life in a
- 1:23:54Speaker 1: way that it is an extra biblical practice. The believer
- 1:23:58Speaker 1: is bound to the provisions that scripture allows. Are we together? Now,
- 1:24:03Speaker 1: all things are lawful, but the Bible says all things
- 1:24:06Speaker 1: are not expedient. That means to be a sound man
- 1:24:09Speaker 1: of God. It's not about clamoring for acceptance. But it's
- 1:24:13Speaker 1: important to limit your operation ministerially and in any kind
- 1:24:17Speaker 1: of spiritual leadership to the provisions that the Bible allows. Now,
- 1:24:24Speaker 1: the truth is that if you are a man of
- 1:24:26Speaker 1: the spirit, you are going to be led of the spirit,
- 1:24:29Speaker 1: and sometimes you will be led of the Spirit in
- 1:24:31Speaker 1: a way that may be strange to the natural man.
- 1:24:34Speaker 5: I must tell you that.
- 1:24:37Speaker 1: But you see, the beautiful thing about the Holy Spirit
- 1:24:39Speaker 1: is that the purity of his leadership to you will
- 1:24:42Speaker 1: be known by those who are those that you are manifesting,
- 1:24:45Speaker 1: no matter how strange it is, they will have a
- 1:24:48Speaker 1: witness of the spirit that you are not acting based
- 1:24:52Speaker 1: on the influence of a spirit of divination. For instance,
- 1:24:58Speaker 1: there is no instant maturity in the Bible.
- 1:25:00Speaker 5: People do not become matured instantly.
- 1:25:04Speaker 1: So for you to be greatly used by God, there
- 1:25:07Speaker 1: must be a track record of growth.
- 1:25:09Speaker 5: Even if you are called into.
- 1:25:10Speaker 1: The prophetic and the Apostolic ministry, there is no instant maturity.
- 1:25:14Speaker 1: Nobody comes out of nowhere. The Bible is full of
- 1:25:17Speaker 1: the pathway for spiritual growth and manifestation. There must be
- 1:25:21Speaker 1: a track record of growth and Jesus increase Look two
- 1:25:25Speaker 1: fifty two in wisdom, stature, and favor with God and
- 1:25:30Speaker 1: with men. The way we have marketed ministry, especially with
- 1:25:37Speaker 1: the Gospel of wealth and abundance, unfortunately, is what has
- 1:25:41Speaker 1: driven Nigeria and even Africa into the such especially the
- 1:25:45Speaker 1: Apostolic and the prophetic, because they seem to look like
- 1:25:49Speaker 1: the most charismatic of the fivefold. If I say I
- 1:25:52Speaker 1: am an apostle, I prophet, and I prophesy, chances are
- 1:25:56Speaker 1: that somebody can give me a kind one day can
- 1:25:58Speaker 1: give me a building in one day?
- 1:26:00Speaker 5: Are we together?
- 1:26:02Speaker 1: Someone can come to see me, maybe a governor or
- 1:26:05Speaker 1: a president, man of God.
- 1:26:07Speaker 5: Now that is election time? Should I go?
- 1:26:09Speaker 1: And most times the man will not come alone. He
- 1:26:11Speaker 1: may come with on a radium to come and greet
- 1:26:14Speaker 1: the prophets of God. And now on araium can be serious.
- 1:26:17Speaker 1: He can carry a man's destiny and give you one day.
- 1:26:21Speaker 1: So many people because of that. I'm not being sarcastic.
- 1:26:24Speaker 1: Many people because of that when they fail in every
- 1:26:27Speaker 1: other area of your life.
- 1:26:28Speaker 5: They say, do you know what this thing?
- 1:26:30Speaker 1: I am tired? Have you noticed that every time there
- 1:26:33Speaker 1: is a corruption in the prophetic, the apostolic or spiritual leadership,
- 1:26:38Speaker 1: the end result is always money, material things, fame. I
- 1:26:42Speaker 1: want a name. I want everybody to know I am
- 1:26:45Speaker 1: the person seen Number three Witchcraft an extra Biblical practices.
- 1:27:01Speaker 5: Right for reference.
- 1:27:01Speaker 1: We may not read it for time. At chapter eight,
- 1:27:04Speaker 1: from verse nine down to twenty three. You want to
- 1:27:07Speaker 1: enjoy the reading. Read from amplified. There was a sorcerer
- 1:27:10Speaker 1: called Simeon when when Philip went down to Samaria, the
- 1:27:14Speaker 1: Bible says, and he preached Christ to them, and the
- 1:27:16Speaker 1: Bible says they with one accord gave he seeing and
- 1:27:21Speaker 1: hearing the miracles, which he did. And there was somebody
- 1:27:24Speaker 1: called Simon. He was a sorcerer. The Bible says he
- 1:27:29Speaker 1: made a lot of money. In fact, the people cap
- 1:27:31Speaker 1: shown him the great power of God. That was a
- 1:27:35Speaker 1: titoo they gave him because of the level of his
- 1:27:37Speaker 1: spiritual exploits. His ministry ended when the apostles now started
- 1:27:43Speaker 1: coming there, and the Bible says he was convicted genuinely.
- 1:27:46Speaker 1: He went for Philip's ku said, and when Philip preached,
- 1:27:50Speaker 1: listen carefully, the guy was converted. He was even baptized.
- 1:27:53Speaker 1: So when they send James and John Now and they
- 1:27:57Speaker 1: went there, and he saw that through the laying on
- 1:28:00Speaker 1: of hands, he saw another dimension.
- 1:28:02Speaker 5: That was not captured in his practice.
- 1:28:04Speaker 1: That they just laid hands and people were getting Do
- 1:28:07Speaker 1: you know what he did? He cornered James and John
- 1:28:10Speaker 1: Letter was a bitter and John Now and told him,
- 1:28:13Speaker 1: he said, please, I have money. I can give you money.
- 1:28:16Speaker 1: Let me add to this. You say that he was
- 1:28:18Speaker 1: saved but not transformed. There are many people who are
- 1:28:24Speaker 1: born again, but when they're going gets tough, they still
- 1:28:27Speaker 1: attend to all kinds of things. There are believers that
- 1:28:30Speaker 1: still do mascuarage. I'm not saying attend the festival. They
- 1:28:34Speaker 1: are the the that they bought, the regalia they have it.
- 1:28:43Speaker 1: Yours is a king, ears, he is a pal ears,
- 1:28:51Speaker 1: he's a glowy forever man.
- 1:28:57Speaker 5: Yours is a king.
- 1:29:02Speaker 1: Is the pos is a globy forever?
- 1:29:10Speaker 2: Yes? S a yes?
- 1:29:37Speaker 1: What is the solution to witchcraft and extra biblical practices?
- 1:29:42Speaker 1: Two scriptures very quickly, Second Corinthians, chapter fourth, from verse
- 1:29:45Speaker 1: one and two. Perhaps you're a man of God listening
- 1:29:48Speaker 1: to me. Perhaps you are a young minister who is
- 1:29:51Speaker 1: beginning to start, and your passion you are driving you.
- 1:29:54Speaker 1: You want to do this ministry by fire, by force.
- 1:29:57Speaker 1: Let me give you a strong word of advice. Therefore,
- 1:30:00Speaker 1: saying we have this ministry as we have received messy,
- 1:30:06Speaker 1: we think not Verse two, it says, God have renounced
- 1:30:11Speaker 1: the hidden things of dishonesty, not working in craftiness, nor
- 1:30:17Speaker 1: handling the world of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of
- 1:30:21Speaker 1: the truth, commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the
- 1:30:26Speaker 1: sight of God give us Hebrews twelfth and verse twenty eight.
- 1:30:30Speaker 1: So you must renounce the hidden works of dishonesty.
- 1:30:34Speaker 5: The Bible says, wherefore.
- 1:30:35Speaker 1: Hebrews twelve twenty eight, receiving saying that receiving a kingdom.
- 1:30:40Speaker 1: Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, It says,
- 1:30:44Speaker 1: let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably
- 1:30:50Speaker 1: with reference and godly fear. What then, is the cure
- 1:30:55Speaker 1: to witchcraft and extra biblical practices? Fear God, Fear God.
- 1:31:02Speaker 5: Fear God.
- 1:31:04Speaker 1: When you fear God sincerely, you will love his people
- 1:31:06Speaker 1: too much to deceive and manipulate them. When you fear God,
- 1:31:10Speaker 1: you will love his people too much. Are we together
- 1:31:13Speaker 1: to send them all kinds of text messages with lying prophecies?
- 1:31:17Speaker 1: I saw this about you. Make sure you're in church tomorrow. No,
- 1:31:20Speaker 1: don't do that again. Remember, do not forget that all
- 1:31:26Speaker 1: we teaches from a standpoint of love and not self righteousness. No,
- 1:31:31Speaker 1: we are all bought products of God's messy. But the
- 1:31:34Speaker 1: truth must be spoken, even if it is in love.
- 1:31:38Speaker 1: Are we together witchcraft? Seeing number four that the church
- 1:31:46Speaker 1: needs to be are you tired that the church needs
- 1:31:50Speaker 1: to be pusched off? Write it down? Please? Pride, then,
- 1:31:54Speaker 1: glory and self centeredness. This is the fourth cancer that
- 1:31:59Speaker 1: God wants to take out of the church for how
- 1:32:02Speaker 1: to be a purifight church seeing fame, glory, and self centeredness.
- 1:32:10Speaker 1: James chapter four and verse six immediately tells us James four,
- 1:32:15Speaker 1: verse six, that God give it more grace. Wherefore he saith,
- 1:32:20Speaker 1: God resisted the proud.
- 1:32:22Speaker 5: Please shout it.
- 1:32:23Speaker 1: God resisted the proud.
- 1:32:27Speaker 5: One more time.
- 1:32:28Speaker 1: Please. It is important for you to know who is
- 1:32:33Speaker 1: going to fight you when you are proud. If it
- 1:32:35Speaker 1: is a demon that fights you, the anointing can help you.
- 1:32:38Speaker 1: But when the owner of the anointing is the one
- 1:32:40Speaker 1: fighting you, will you bring an annointing to fight him.
- 1:32:43Speaker 1: God resisted the proud, but he gives grace to the humble.
- 1:32:48Speaker 5: Look.
- 1:32:48Speaker 1: Chapter eighteen, please from verse nine to fourteen. Look eighteen
- 1:32:52Speaker 1: starts with the teaching on prayer. Most times we just
- 1:32:56Speaker 1: read the prayer part and we stop. But here's what
- 1:32:58Speaker 1: the Bible says. He spake this parable onto certain witch
- 1:33:03Speaker 1: trusted in themselves.
- 1:33:04Speaker 5: Are you saying now?
- 1:33:05Speaker 1: He's talking about those who trust in themselves that they
- 1:33:08Speaker 1: were righteous and despise others. Ten two men went up
- 1:33:14Speaker 1: into the temple to pray Jesus is speaking. Now. One
- 1:33:18Speaker 1: was a pharisee and one was a publican, an ordinary person.
- 1:33:22Speaker 1: The pharisee stood up and hear what he prayed. The
- 1:33:25Speaker 1: Bible says he preached us with himself. God. I thank thee.
- 1:33:30Speaker 1: This is his praying now that I am not as
- 1:33:33Speaker 1: the other men. Ah. Does that sound like how we
- 1:33:36Speaker 1: behave in the church. Believe us we stand with self righteousness,
- 1:33:42Speaker 1: full of ourselves. I thank you because I am not
- 1:33:45Speaker 1: as other men are extortion us unjust adult trust. And
- 1:33:51Speaker 1: even this publican who is standing by my side verse twelve,
- 1:33:55Speaker 1: he's praying somebody else came to pray past twice in
- 1:34:00Speaker 1: a week. He's reading his credentials before God. Now I
- 1:34:04Speaker 1: give tides of all that I possess that thing. And
- 1:34:08Speaker 1: the publican, what is his business with the publican? That
- 1:34:13Speaker 1: is the character of pride. It never focuses on his
- 1:34:16Speaker 1: own thing. It will have to use a basis to contrast.
- 1:34:19Speaker 1: And the publicans standing afar off look at what he said,
- 1:34:24Speaker 1: would not even lift up so much his eyes onto
- 1:34:26Speaker 1: the heavens, but smote his breast, saying, God be merciful
- 1:34:31Speaker 1: onto me a sinner. Next verse fourteen, I tell you
- 1:34:35Speaker 1: Jesus is speaking now.
- 1:34:37Speaker 5: Jesus assessed two people who went to pray.
- 1:34:40Speaker 1: This man went down to his house justified the publican
- 1:34:43Speaker 1: rather than the order. For everyone that exalted himself shall
- 1:34:49Speaker 1: be a base brought low, and he that humbled himself
- 1:34:53Speaker 1: shall be exalted. I submit to you sincerely that the
- 1:34:58Speaker 1: body of Christ in us, as we have commended a
- 1:35:01Speaker 1: lot of things, we must trust God for grace to
- 1:35:03Speaker 1: manage pride among women of God, among members, among politicians,
- 1:35:11Speaker 1: among successful people, pride, vain, glory, and self centeredness. Romans,
- 1:35:19Speaker 1: Chapter twelve. From verse one and six, God is speaking
- 1:35:22Speaker 1: to us the night. I beseech you there, for brethren,
- 1:35:25Speaker 1: by the message of God, says to present your bodies
- 1:35:28Speaker 1: onto God as a living sacrifice, wholly and acceptable onto God,
- 1:35:33Speaker 1: which is your reasonable act of worship. Verse two, he says,
- 1:35:36Speaker 1: do not be confirmed to this world, but be it
- 1:35:39Speaker 1: transformed by the renewing of your mind, that he may
- 1:35:42Speaker 1: prove that which is good and acceptable and perfect will
- 1:35:45Speaker 1: of God. Now pay attention verse three, for I say,
- 1:35:50Speaker 1: through the grace given me to every man that is
- 1:35:53Speaker 1: among you, watch this now. It's a warning not to
- 1:35:56Speaker 1: think of himself more highly than he or to think,
- 1:36:01Speaker 1: but to think so badly, according as God has telled
- 1:36:05Speaker 1: to every man.
- 1:36:06Speaker 5: The measure of faith.
- 1:36:07Speaker 1: Verse four. For as we have many members in the body,
- 1:36:12Speaker 1: and he said, all members have not the same office.
- 1:36:16Speaker 5: That means if you are proud.
- 1:36:18Speaker 1: It is because you do not recognize that there are
- 1:36:20Speaker 1: diversities within the body. So we've been many are one
- 1:36:25Speaker 1: body in Christ, and everyone members of another.
- 1:36:29Speaker 5: Verse six. The last verse, now it says, having.
- 1:36:31Speaker 1: Then gifts defaring according to the grace that is given
- 1:36:36Speaker 1: to us, whether it is prophecy let us prophesy according
- 1:36:40Speaker 1: to the proportion of faith. And then it continues like that.
- 1:36:43Speaker 1: But he's saying, you have to be careful. Do not
- 1:36:46Speaker 1: exalt yourself in your own eyes. More highly, listen, I
- 1:36:51Speaker 1: learned this about men. It is about you, but not
- 1:36:55Speaker 1: all about you. It's a revelation we must have as leaders,
- 1:36:59Speaker 1: as believers when everything becomes about you. And it's a
- 1:37:05Speaker 1: mistake we make as men of God. We clamored to
- 1:37:08Speaker 1: be the focus and the epicenter of everything self centeredness.
- 1:37:16Speaker 5: If someone learning.
- 1:37:18Speaker 1: The scene of pride, the scene of vainglory, do you
- 1:37:23Speaker 1: know way before the scene of sexual immorality, way before
- 1:37:27Speaker 1: the scene of other perversions. Way before the scene of witchcraft.
- 1:37:32Speaker 1: That one scene was the scene of pride and treason Satan.
- 1:37:37Speaker 1: I will exalt myself above the stars of God. So
- 1:37:41Speaker 1: it is an old scene. I will be like the
- 1:37:45Speaker 1: most high self centeredness. You must get to a point
- 1:37:54Speaker 1: where you appreciate the fact that you are only one
- 1:37:57Speaker 1: of many a business man as a man of God,
- 1:38:02Speaker 1: I am only one of many across the body of
- 1:38:05Speaker 1: Christ globally in Africa and in this nation who have
- 1:38:12Speaker 1: obtained messy by God to make a very meaningful contribution
- 1:38:16Speaker 1: towards kingdom. Come when I suggest to myself that it
- 1:38:20Speaker 1: is all about me, there is trouble. Is someone learning,
- 1:38:26Speaker 1: especially for young ministers who God is helping to come
- 1:38:29Speaker 1: up or younger ministers. I would say, because we're all young,
- 1:38:32Speaker 1: younger ministers who are coming up, we have to be
- 1:38:34Speaker 1: careful pride. The poor pitch should not be a place
- 1:38:39Speaker 1: of pride. There's too much pride and vainglory. And it
- 1:38:44Speaker 1: is because of that that it leads us into all
- 1:38:46Speaker 1: kinds of lives. Are we together?
- 1:38:50Speaker 4: Oh?
- 1:38:51Speaker 1: I held a meeting and one hundred thousand people came
- 1:38:54Speaker 1: to my church, and out of them, ten thousand people
- 1:38:56Speaker 1: got upon wheelchairs.
- 1:38:57Speaker 2: Hahpah.
- 1:39:04Speaker 1: It's all about you, jeez, Jesus, and all this is
- 1:39:13Speaker 1: for you. It's for your glory and your fame.
- 1:39:19Speaker 5: It's not about me.
- 1:39:24Speaker 1: As if you should do things my way, you alone
- 1:39:29Speaker 1: a car and I'm surend let me tell you the truth.
- 1:39:36Speaker 1: I submit to you, my dear people. The person talking
- 1:39:40Speaker 1: to you has seen the messy and the glory of God.
- 1:39:43Speaker 1: I'm not speaking in ignorance. I have stood before kings,
- 1:39:47Speaker 1: I have stood before nobles. God has honored me with
- 1:39:50Speaker 1: what many people will not get in many lifetimes. I
- 1:39:53Speaker 1: submit to you.
- 1:39:54Speaker 5: So if there is.
- 1:39:55Speaker 1: Something to boast about, the person is standing before you
- 1:39:58Speaker 1: can beat his chest and we can speak. God has
- 1:40:01Speaker 1: elevated us and honored us and given us visibility across
- 1:40:05Speaker 1: the globe. If there is anything to make noise about,
- 1:40:08Speaker 1: we can bit our chest.
- 1:40:10Speaker 5: We have stood before kings.
- 1:40:12Speaker 1: God has brought kings and heads of governments and leaders
- 1:40:16Speaker 1: to become sons and mentees. But we count everything, like
- 1:40:19Speaker 1: Paul Bartongue, for the excellency of Christ. So by the
- 1:40:29Speaker 1: privilege of God's grace and by the privilege of results,
- 1:40:33Speaker 1: I have a right to say what I'm saying, when
- 1:40:36Speaker 1: we speak like this, we do not speak. It is
- 1:40:41Speaker 1: not to downplay or demean what God has made. If
- 1:40:44Speaker 1: we begin to read the credentials of our accomplishments and
- 1:40:48Speaker 1: the things that God is doing in and through us,
- 1:40:50Speaker 1: across the nations and many of you here Koynonia, here
- 1:40:54Speaker 1: is a connection of extremely successful people. There are billognere
- 1:41:00Speaker 1: in this place. There are multi millionaires. There are successful people, politicians,
- 1:41:05Speaker 1: business people, heads of conglomerates. Some of them do not
- 1:41:09Speaker 1: they are not even in this man auditorium. There are
- 1:41:11Speaker 1: some way scattered in the overflow. Our global family is
- 1:41:15Speaker 1: full of extremely successful people. Some of them I do
- 1:41:18Speaker 1: not even know them myself. The days I meet them
- 1:41:21Speaker 1: more communicate with them, I am surprised that this is
- 1:41:24Speaker 1: what God has given. It is easy for me to
- 1:41:27Speaker 1: stand and beat my chest, and if anyone talks, I says,
- 1:41:30Speaker 1: see my results, bring your own first before you talk.
- 1:41:33Speaker 1: But we count these Bostone. God has lifted us to
- 1:41:37Speaker 1: be able to buy the privilege of God's grace, use
- 1:41:40Speaker 1: our life to help mentor nations that when God lifts you,
- 1:41:44Speaker 1: your assignment is to be as an orsher to lift
- 1:41:47Speaker 1: him and forever for as long as we live. It
- 1:41:51Speaker 1: will always be Jesus revealed and Jesus glorified. Jesus revealed
- 1:42:04Speaker 1: and Jesus glorified. Acknowledge the truth and what God is
- 1:42:09Speaker 1: doing in your life, but be careful pride and vain
- 1:42:13Speaker 1: glory when it becomes all about Joshua Salman, there is trouble.
- 1:42:19Speaker 1: Are we together? Because that means all the people who
- 1:42:22Speaker 1: I teach and mentor and raise will have.
- 1:42:25Speaker 5: To follow that template.
- 1:42:26Speaker 1: And it's going to be the extended consequence is the
- 1:42:30Speaker 1: body of Christ, who have a lot of problems. I
- 1:42:33Speaker 1: pray and look forward to times when successful people will
- 1:42:37Speaker 1: come together and roll on the ground before the nations
- 1:42:40Speaker 1: and say, we are doing this for you Jesus. And
- 1:42:43Speaker 1: like Paul, like it was david Ah who was returning
- 1:42:48Speaker 1: back the act was being taken back, and it was
- 1:42:52Speaker 1: dancing in an undignified manner. And Soul's daughter looked at
- 1:42:56Speaker 1: him and said, look what you are doing. You are
- 1:42:58Speaker 1: bringing shame to yourself. Why are you doing this? You say,
- 1:43:02Speaker 1: I'm dancing before the God who took the kingdom from
- 1:43:04Speaker 1: your father and gave to me.
- 1:43:06Speaker 5: God had her and she died barring.
- 1:43:11Speaker 1: Allelujah. When I hear and see the mighty things that
- 1:43:15Speaker 1: God is doing in and through our lives. You know,
- 1:43:18Speaker 1: sometimes I just stand before the mirror and I say, Lord,
- 1:43:21Speaker 1: please show messy, Show messy that by your spirit will
- 1:43:25Speaker 1: never get to a point where the applauds of men. Now,
- 1:43:28Speaker 1: people will clap, people will sincerely appreciate. There is a
- 1:43:33Speaker 1: difference between simplicity and humility. You can be a simple
- 1:43:36Speaker 1: person and still be proud. Are we together now? Yes,
- 1:43:41Speaker 1: we're talking about a recognition where the nations will know
- 1:43:45Speaker 1: that Jesus Christ is the one who has done this.
- 1:43:49Speaker 5: But the spirit of pride.
- 1:43:51Speaker 1: Also, let me tell you the character of pride, it
- 1:43:54Speaker 1: down places the contribution of others and desires for you
- 1:43:58Speaker 1: to stand out.
- 1:43:59Speaker 5: That is what that is a problem.
- 1:44:01Speaker 1: So when you look at Coinonia, all you see is
- 1:44:03Speaker 1: Joshua Sellman, and you do not see the people who
- 1:44:06Speaker 1: are making this happen.
- 1:44:08Speaker 5: And if for any reason.
- 1:44:09Speaker 1: You want to, even if it's a little part on
- 1:44:11Speaker 1: the back, I create systems that prohibit them. Why are
- 1:44:15Speaker 1: you clapping for the guy playing keyboard? Can you do
- 1:44:17Speaker 1: Bible study like me? How many verses has he given you?
- 1:44:20Speaker 1: So the center sometimes we do it unconsciously. But it
- 1:44:24Speaker 1: is a scene that the body must be pushed from.
- 1:44:27Speaker 1: If we're together, say amen, what is the cure for pride?
- 1:44:34Speaker 1: And vainglory is found in John chapter three, from verse
- 1:44:38Speaker 1: twenty two to thirteen. John three, twenty two to thirteen.
- 1:44:43Speaker 1: After this thing, Jesus came to Judea, and the Bible
- 1:44:47Speaker 1: says he tarried and was about to be baptized. Let's
- 1:44:49Speaker 1: read very quickly.
- 1:44:50Speaker 5: The Bible says John was also baptizing. Watch this.
- 1:44:53Speaker 1: Now, John was baptizing near Salem, because there was much
- 1:44:57Speaker 1: water there, and people came and were been baptized. What's
- 1:45:01Speaker 1: what happened now? For John was not yet cast into prison.
- 1:45:04Speaker 1: You know, I used to think John stopped baptism after
- 1:45:07Speaker 1: he announced Jesus, but I got to find out that
- 1:45:09Speaker 1: he continued his thing. And there arose a question between
- 1:45:14Speaker 1: some of John's disciples and the Jews about purifying twenty six.
- 1:45:19Speaker 1: And they came to John and said, Rabbi, he that
- 1:45:22Speaker 1: was with you beyond the Jordan, whom thou bearest, witness
- 1:45:26Speaker 1: behold the same as started baptizing too, and all men.
- 1:45:31Speaker 5: Are coming to him.
- 1:45:33Speaker 1: That was a problem. And John answered and said the
- 1:45:37Speaker 1: answer of John must become our disposition. A man can
- 1:45:41Speaker 1: receive nothing except it be given to him from heaven.
- 1:45:46Speaker 1: Twenty eight It says, here yourself, bear me witness that
- 1:45:50Speaker 1: I said, I am not the Christ, but I am
- 1:45:53Speaker 1: sent before him. Twenty nine. He that had the bride
- 1:45:57Speaker 1: is the bridegroom. But the friend of the room which
- 1:46:00Speaker 1: standard and heard him, rejoice it greatly because of the
- 1:46:03Speaker 1: bridegroom's voice. This my joy is therefore fulfilled. Very staty.
- 1:46:09Speaker 1: He must increase, and I must decrease. Notice he never
- 1:46:14Speaker 1: said I must vanish. No, I must decrease so that
- 1:46:19Speaker 1: He will be seen. It is my prayer first for myself,
- 1:46:23Speaker 1: as I'm preaching here, that when people look at me,
- 1:46:26Speaker 1: they would not just see a celebrity or see whatever
- 1:46:29Speaker 1: it is, but they will see Christ crucified and Christ
- 1:46:33Speaker 1: growified through a privileged vessel. That is the greatest testimony
- 1:46:38Speaker 1: that I desire Sein. Number five. The fifth scene that
- 1:46:47Speaker 1: the body of Christ need to be purified of is
- 1:46:50Speaker 1: called the scene of the tongue. Please write it down.
- 1:46:54Speaker 1: We're wrapping up the scene of the tongue. This includes
- 1:46:58Speaker 1: everything that can affect and destroy and corrupt the body
- 1:47:02Speaker 1: that comes through the tongue, lying, gossip, backbiting, sowing seeds
- 1:47:09Speaker 1: of discord. They are all called the sins of the tongue.
- 1:47:12Speaker 1: Are you seeing how God is helping us now? So
- 1:47:14Speaker 1: that as God is running the list at the end
- 1:47:17Speaker 1: of this list, if you stand and beat your chest
- 1:47:20Speaker 1: and say I am fine, your sin is this one?
- 1:47:25Speaker 5: Are we together?
- 1:47:30Speaker 1: Proverbs Tharty four twelve to thirteen, Proverbs thirty four, Palms
- 1:47:39Speaker 1: thirty four sorry, palm starty four twelve and thirteen some
- 1:47:43Speaker 1: starty four twelve and thirteen. Let's finish so we can pray.
- 1:47:46Speaker 5: It says, what.
- 1:47:47Speaker 1: Man is he that desired life and love it many
- 1:47:51Speaker 1: days that he might see good?
- 1:47:53Speaker 5: What is that man?
- 1:47:54Speaker 1: What does he need to do? Keep your tongue from
- 1:47:57Speaker 1: evil and your lips from speaking the word gud?
- 1:48:01Speaker 5: There is lies and deception.
- 1:48:04Speaker 1: Proverabs Chapter six from verse sixteen the six things that
- 1:48:09Speaker 1: the Lord hates six sixteen. These six things does the
- 1:48:13Speaker 1: Lord hate, yeay, seven are an abomination onto him. Let's
- 1:48:17Speaker 1: read the list to nineteen. A proud look number one,
- 1:48:21Speaker 1: A lying tongue number three, hands that shed innocent blood
- 1:48:27Speaker 1: number four, A hat that devised wicked imaginations Number five
- 1:48:33Speaker 1: fit that be swift in running to mischief number nine,
- 1:48:38Speaker 1: number six now verse nineteen, a false witness that speaketh
- 1:48:43Speaker 1: lies and then finally he that's so well discord among
- 1:48:49Speaker 1: brethren the sin of the tongue. Can I tell you
- 1:48:53Speaker 1: the truth. There are many people today who have allowed
- 1:48:57Speaker 1: the devil to use their tongues to divide the body
- 1:49:01Speaker 1: of Christ, cause trouble the body of Christ. There are
- 1:49:05Speaker 1: many believers, from men of God, to churches, to several people.
- 1:49:11Speaker 1: They are the way they are, and the body has
- 1:49:13Speaker 1: been corrupted this much because of the sin of the tongue,
- 1:49:18Speaker 1: from gossiping, to lying, to devising wicked imaginations. Because the
- 1:49:24Speaker 1: mouth is a testimony of the state of the heart.
- 1:49:27Speaker 1: Are we together now? The worst one here is here
- 1:49:31Speaker 1: that so weed discord among brethren. There are people today
- 1:49:39Speaker 1: who cannot serve God acceptably because people creep into churches,
- 1:49:44Speaker 1: creep into families, creep into prayer platforms, and so seas.
- 1:49:48Speaker 5: Now I submit to.
- 1:49:49Speaker 1: You that there is no church globally that is immune
- 1:49:52Speaker 1: from this. You will always have people who will sow
- 1:49:56Speaker 1: seeds of discord. There are many homes today, christen homes
- 1:50:01Speaker 1: and marriages that are in this array. Simply because there
- 1:50:04Speaker 1: are people who saw seats of discord. Ah, Daddy, I
- 1:50:09Speaker 1: need to tell you something. I saw mommy preparing your food,
- 1:50:12Speaker 1: and after she finished, she held something that was looking like.
- 1:50:15Speaker 5: My gie, but it was the way she was sprinkling
- 1:50:18Speaker 5: the thing.
- 1:50:19Speaker 1: And they brings the food to the man and man, no, no,
- 1:50:22Speaker 1: I'm okay.
- 1:50:23Speaker 5: What happened? I'm okay.
- 1:50:25Speaker 1: And then comes to the woman and says, I saw
- 1:50:28Speaker 1: that he was writing something, a check, and I think
- 1:50:33Speaker 1: I saw him giving one woman or something and a
- 1:50:35Speaker 1: woman I said, okay, me too, I'm going to my
- 1:50:37Speaker 1: father's house. And the person who didn't to keep quiet
- 1:50:40Speaker 1: and stand somewhere. There are many people joining the heads
- 1:50:46Speaker 1: of sincere people and join this. They said this to this,
- 1:50:50Speaker 1: they say this to that, and they stand back and
- 1:50:52Speaker 1: watch with joy. No, it ought not to be so
- 1:50:56Speaker 1: it is a spirit and it.
- 1:50:58Speaker 5: Is not tell them.
- 1:50:59Speaker 1: God is telling all of us.
- 1:51:01Speaker 5: Are we together now?
- 1:51:03Speaker 1: Yes? Seeds of discord? How about lying? There are people
- 1:51:07Speaker 1: that lie like world of knowledge. You know, no rihasal.
- 1:51:11Speaker 1: You just lie from preachers to business people. Anything they're
- 1:51:16Speaker 1: telling you, just know that you are hearing a lie.
- 1:51:20Speaker 1: Even when you're crying. It's still a lie. I'm sure
- 1:51:26Speaker 1: there are. I'm sure there are Georges who already know this.
- 1:51:29Speaker 1: As soon as they enter, they just allow them to
- 1:51:31Speaker 1: talk for formality. After that they said, please go to prison.
- 1:51:34Speaker 1: We already know that you are. The thing is written
- 1:51:36Speaker 1: from head to toe. Even as men of God, God
- 1:51:40Speaker 1: needs to show us messy.
- 1:51:41Speaker 5: We're doing our best.
- 1:51:42Speaker 1: But all these lies, exaggerations, lies. Years ago in the seminary,
- 1:51:48Speaker 1: they thought that they'ressbling called white lie, you know, and
- 1:51:51Speaker 1: all of those kinds of things.
- 1:51:52Speaker 5: Lie is lie, just need messy.
- 1:51:55Speaker 1: At the end of this teaching, all of us who
- 1:51:57Speaker 1: need the blood of Jesus. That is the summary of
- 1:51:59Speaker 1: At the end of this teaching, all of us are
- 1:52:02Speaker 1: going to need the blood of Jesus, praise the name
- 1:52:06Speaker 1: of the Lord. A lying tongue.
- 1:52:09Speaker 5: Let me what is the solution.
- 1:52:11Speaker 1: I will just give you two scriptures and then Psalms
- 1:52:14Speaker 1: nineteen and verse four. Psalms nineteen and verse four, What
- 1:52:18Speaker 1: is the solution to a lying tongue?
- 1:52:20Speaker 5: Did I get that right? My goodness?
- 1:52:22Speaker 1: I keep I think my give us some one forty one,
- 1:52:26Speaker 1: verse three and four. Some one forty one three and four.
- 1:52:30Speaker 1: He said, set a watch o Lord before my mouth,
- 1:52:34Speaker 1: and keep the door of my lips. Verse four incline,
- 1:52:38Speaker 1: not that hard to any evil thing to practice wickedness
- 1:52:41Speaker 1: with men that work iniquity, And let me not eat
- 1:52:44Speaker 1: of their dainties. So he says, set a god over
- 1:52:47Speaker 1: my mouth. You see. The beautiful thing is that you
- 1:52:50Speaker 1: must not talk here in your mind what you want
- 1:52:53Speaker 1: to say first and find out is it a defying
- 1:52:56Speaker 1: efficients Chapter four, I believe us twenty nine efficients four
- 1:53:00Speaker 1: and twenty nine. Let no corrupt communication proceed from your mouth.
- 1:53:07Speaker 5: Is that in your bible, but.
- 1:53:09Speaker 1: That which is good to the use of ed defying
- 1:53:12Speaker 1: that it may minister grace onto the hearers. That means,
- 1:53:16Speaker 1: if you are opening your mouth to speak and it
- 1:53:18Speaker 1: is going to be gossip by biting, tearing down people,
- 1:53:23Speaker 1: He's saying, let no corrupt communication proceed from your mouth,
- 1:53:26Speaker 1: make sure that that which comes out is that which
- 1:53:29Speaker 1: will edify, It will minister grace to the hearers.
- 1:53:33Speaker 5: If you are with me, say.
- 1:53:34Speaker 1: Amen, number six, saying number six that the Lord, God
- 1:53:41Speaker 1: of Heaven demands that he's bribe the church be purified
- 1:53:45Speaker 1: from the church global, the Church in Africa and the
- 1:53:50Speaker 1: Church in Nigeria is competition, and on healthy comparison, competition
- 1:53:57Speaker 1: and on healthy comparison. This is the six scene on
- 1:54:02Speaker 1: healthy comparison of men, on healthy comparison of structures, competition,
- 1:54:09Speaker 1: and on healthy comparison. This has produced all kinds of
- 1:54:16Speaker 1: unhealthy camps cabals. Do you know? It is one of
- 1:54:20Speaker 1: the plagues that has destroyed Africa and even Nigeria. There
- 1:54:25Speaker 1: are circles people who have it has almost become like
- 1:54:28Speaker 1: colt like circles. There are healthy circles that make for
- 1:54:32Speaker 1: the preservation of convictions.
- 1:54:34Speaker 5: But there are people who have stretched it.
- 1:54:36Speaker 1: If you do not belong to certain cabyles ministerial cabals,
- 1:54:42Speaker 1: it has almost become caught like and sadly but respectfully,
- 1:54:46Speaker 1: this is even more pronounced in many parts of Africa.
- 1:54:49Speaker 1: You see this happen. So younger ministers who are clamoring
- 1:54:53Speaker 1: for attention and visibility have to bend your standard because
- 1:54:56Speaker 1: the requirement is until you weave yourself to certain cabals.
- 1:55:01Speaker 5: Don't get me wrong, I've told.
- 1:55:03Speaker 1: You community living is the key to preserving kingdom values
- 1:55:07Speaker 1: and having a good network of like minded kingdom people
- 1:55:12Speaker 1: with similar convictions is very biblical. In fact, if you
- 1:55:16Speaker 1: don't have it, then you will not have the grace
- 1:55:20Speaker 1: to be sustained and to stay. You can't just because
- 1:55:24Speaker 1: I teach about this, it does not mean that you
- 1:55:26Speaker 1: open up your heart to everything. I love the Body
- 1:55:29Speaker 1: of Christ, but I have my convictions and my values.
- 1:55:32Speaker 1: There are groups, respectfully speaking, and associations that you would
- 1:55:36Speaker 1: never see me part of. Not at that current template.
- 1:55:39Speaker 1: You will not see me as part of them. Because
- 1:55:41Speaker 1: I love the Lord and I hold true the convictions
- 1:55:44Speaker 1: that I have for him. Are we together? You will never,
- 1:55:49Speaker 1: for instance, see me bring somebody here and I tell
- 1:55:52Speaker 1: the person your primary assignment to come here is to come.
- 1:55:55Speaker 5: And raise money. I'm not saying raising.
- 1:55:57Speaker 1: Money is wrong, but for the purpose of deception of
- 1:56:00Speaker 1: assigned manipulate the people who raise the money, and then
- 1:56:02Speaker 1: we split it, maybe fifty to fifty. If it doesn't agree,
- 1:56:05Speaker 1: we do sixty four. All those kinds of things. No,
- 1:56:07Speaker 1: it shouldn't be.
- 1:56:09Speaker 5: Again, I'm not being sarcastic. I'm just being.
- 1:56:12Speaker 1: Truthful because it happens. And then competition. Competition is a
- 1:56:17Speaker 1: dangerous spirit. It should not be. Not in the Body
- 1:56:21Speaker 1: of Christ are we together? Second Second Corinthians ten from
- 1:56:28Speaker 1: verse twelve, Second Corinthians ten from verse twelve. For we
- 1:56:32Speaker 1: there not make ourselves of the number or compare ourselves
- 1:56:37Speaker 1: with some that command themselves. But they're measuring themselves with themselves,
- 1:56:41Speaker 1: and comparing themselves among themselves, the Bible says, are not wise.
- 1:56:46Speaker 5: Next verse, the.
- 1:56:47Speaker 1: Bible says, but we will not boast off things without
- 1:56:53Speaker 1: our measure or outside of our measure. You want to
- 1:56:55Speaker 1: understand this, you have to look at it from amplified.
- 1:56:57Speaker 1: Give us amplified amplified, and then we'll read from there.
- 1:57:04Speaker 1: It says, we, on the other hand, will not boast
- 1:57:07Speaker 1: beyond our legitimate province and proper limits. But we will
- 1:57:12Speaker 1: keep within the limits of our commission which God has
- 1:57:16Speaker 1: allotted us by the measuring line which reaches and includes
- 1:57:20Speaker 1: even you. Are we together now, yes fourteen, It says,
- 1:57:26Speaker 1: for we are not overstepping the limits of our province
- 1:57:29Speaker 1: and stretching beyond our ability to reach, as though we
- 1:57:33Speaker 1: reach north and had no legitimate mission to you, For
- 1:57:36Speaker 1: we were the very first to come to you, even
- 1:57:39Speaker 1: as far to you, with the good news of the
- 1:57:41Speaker 1: Gospel of Christ, reading to eighteen.
- 1:57:43Speaker 5: Next verse, Please we.
- 1:57:44Speaker 1: Do not boast therefore beyond our proper limits over other
- 1:57:50Speaker 1: men's labor. But we have the hope and confident expectation
- 1:57:55Speaker 1: that as your faith continues to grow, our field among
- 1:58:00Speaker 1: you will be greatly enlarged, still within the limits of
- 1:58:03Speaker 1: our commission.
- 1:58:05Speaker 5: Just read the remaining down to eighteen.
- 1:58:07Speaker 1: He's trying to say that, listen, we are not here
- 1:58:10Speaker 1: in competition. God has given us jurisdiction, and we respect it.
- 1:58:15Speaker 1: And if for any reason we both, we do it
- 1:58:17Speaker 1: within our predefined jurisdiction. A weay together. It is an
- 1:58:25Speaker 1: attitude that we must carry as men of God, as
- 1:58:28Speaker 1: business people within the Body of Christ. Competition and unhealthy comparison.
- 1:58:37Speaker 1: It must be avoided. We must run away from it.
- 1:58:40Speaker 1: We must never allow ourselves to be victims of it.
- 1:58:44Speaker 1: I have taught you here in coinn Onia that more
- 1:58:47Speaker 1: than coin Onia, our assignment is the Body of Christ.
- 1:58:51Speaker 5: I have taught you that are we together.
- 1:58:55Speaker 1: If I stop you, and I rob you from enjoying
- 1:58:58Speaker 1: the diversity of the body simply because of me, I
- 1:59:03Speaker 1: would have cheated you. Because it is not everything.
- 1:59:06Speaker 5: You need that God gave me.
- 1:59:07Speaker 1: As much as I love you, there are things that
- 1:59:10Speaker 1: are needed in your life that is not within the
- 1:59:12Speaker 1: scope of my grace. Or assignment. That is where other
- 1:59:15Speaker 1: members of the body come. Are we together? Now they
- 1:59:18Speaker 1: can supply to you dimensions that I may not be
- 1:59:21Speaker 1: able to supply, or to the degree they supply. Recognizing
- 1:59:25Speaker 1: that gives you a sense of appreciation for what God
- 1:59:28Speaker 1: is doing across the body. Believing that Coinonia is the
- 1:59:33Speaker 1: only ministry making impact, believing that Joshua Salman is the
- 1:59:37Speaker 1: only man of God making his deception. I've told you
- 1:59:40Speaker 1: that most of these things come from our backgrounds. We
- 1:59:43Speaker 1: come from Africa, a background of deprivation. So when God
- 1:59:47Speaker 1: begins to use us the backlog of some of these
- 1:59:50Speaker 1: things that appetite to outshine. You know, I travel a lot,
- 1:59:53Speaker 1: and when I travel across regions, sometimes you're very excited
- 1:59:57Speaker 1: that I'm coming their nations that I'm coming to now,
- 2:00:00Speaker 1: and you can't imagine the excitement that is happening.
- 2:00:02Speaker 5: But I am very quick to let the men of God.
- 2:00:05Speaker 1: The leaders, the captains of industry know there that it's
- 2:00:09Speaker 1: not a celebrity that is coming. It is an ambassador,
- 2:00:12Speaker 1: and I am coming as a contributor to what God
- 2:00:16Speaker 1: is already doing.
- 2:00:17Speaker 5: I'm not coming to outshine and.
- 2:00:19Speaker 1: Downplay and rubbish other men of God rubbish other ministries
- 2:00:23Speaker 1: and make it look like no body is doing anything
- 2:00:26Speaker 1: serious except me. I would be in deception because God
- 2:00:29Speaker 1: is an indictment on the Ministry of the Holy Spirit.
- 2:00:34Speaker 1: To believe you are the only one who is effective
- 2:00:37Speaker 1: the moment you think it is if I ever believe
- 2:00:40Speaker 1: that Koynonia is the only ministry making impact, Joshua Salmon,
- 2:00:44Speaker 1: is I'm insulting the Ministry of the Holy Spirit because
- 2:00:48Speaker 1: I'm saying he's so ineffective he cannot guarantee the stability
- 2:00:52Speaker 1: of other structures. Politicians never believe you are the only one.
- 2:01:02Speaker 1: Let's not make the mistake of Elijah. Elijah said, and
- 2:01:05Speaker 1: I am the only one who is standing. It was
- 2:01:08Speaker 1: a mistake. Oh, there are men who, do you know?
- 2:01:12Speaker 1: In my life as a man of God, I have
- 2:01:15Speaker 1: met some people, some of them young people, and have
- 2:01:17Speaker 1: conversed with them, and the kind of presence and power
- 2:01:21Speaker 1: they've not even started ministry as we know. Some of
- 2:01:25Speaker 1: them do not even know how anointed they are. It's you,
- 2:01:28Speaker 1: by the privilege of growth, who can taste it. And
- 2:01:30Speaker 1: you can say that, Ah, there is grace here. There
- 2:01:33Speaker 1: are greater men that are coming who will do greater
- 2:01:36Speaker 1: things than the Joshua salmons. We better respect them in advance,
- 2:01:40Speaker 1: because by the time you tear down people and they rise. No,
- 2:01:49Speaker 1: we are surrounded by many. We are not the only
- 2:01:52Speaker 1: ones who walk this river. They gave us the button,
- 2:01:55Speaker 1: and God is still training many. There are many young
- 2:01:58Speaker 1: people in villages. God is training. There are many young
- 2:02:01Speaker 1: people around God. There are many women of fire and
- 2:02:05Speaker 1: power that are intercessors. There are antime profits, there are apostles.
- 2:02:09Speaker 1: Some of you are looking at me. I know you
- 2:02:12Speaker 1: are sitting quietly. But there is what God is doing.
- 2:02:15Speaker 1: As men of God. We must be honest to appreciate
- 2:02:18Speaker 1: and recognize and drop away this celebrity mindset. No, God
- 2:02:28Speaker 1: is bigger than just one man. God is bigger than
- 2:02:31Speaker 1: just one ministry. No matter how effective you are, you
- 2:02:35Speaker 1: cannot capture the entirety of what God is doing. Listen
- 2:02:43Speaker 1: very cheerfully on Len. I'm not ashamed to appreciate what
- 2:02:49Speaker 1: God is doing across every church with men of God,
- 2:02:53Speaker 1: with people. When I have the opportunity of meeting perscels,
- 2:02:56Speaker 1: whether they feel we are greater women not be at
- 2:02:59Speaker 1: the same leve will engrace what It does not matter
- 2:03:01Speaker 1: from the least to the greatest. We are all an
- 2:03:04Speaker 1: army who are who are advancing the purposes of the kingdom.
- 2:03:08Speaker 1: From the least contributor to the greater, we are all
- 2:03:11Speaker 1: deserving of honor. The spirit that rubbishes the contributions of
- 2:03:16Speaker 1: others and makes it look like only few people. A
- 2:03:19Speaker 1: man of God met me one time and we're talking,
- 2:03:21Speaker 1: and he said, guy, there are only few of me now,
- 2:03:24Speaker 1: Joshua Salman that God is using in Nigeria told him
- 2:03:27Speaker 1: keep quiet and don't allow that blasphemy come out of
- 2:03:30Speaker 1: your mouth. There are people in regions and villages we
- 2:03:34Speaker 1: don't even have the kind of anointing to fight those demons.
- 2:03:37Speaker 1: There there are women who did not go to school,
- 2:03:39Speaker 1: but they are in the spirit of another prophetess, fighting
- 2:03:43Speaker 1: battles that we do not know, no protocol protecting them.
- 2:03:47Speaker 1: How dare you believe Joshua Salman is the only one?
- 2:03:51Speaker 1: How dare you believe only coyn Onia? What about other
- 2:03:54Speaker 1: men of God? What about other apostles? What about other churches?
- 2:03:59Speaker 1: Every is making an active contribution. If I travel to Legos,
- 2:04:08Speaker 1: or to a Buddha, or to any nation.
- 2:04:11Speaker 5: The reason why you find.
- 2:04:12Speaker 1: Believers there is because there was a man of God.
- 2:04:15Speaker 1: They're mentoring and building them before we arrive. We must
- 2:04:20Speaker 1: cultivate a healthy respect, competition, and on healthy comparison. And
- 2:04:32Speaker 1: let me charge you my pressures. People don't go around
- 2:04:35Speaker 1: joining the heads of men of God. Don't go around
- 2:04:38Speaker 1: joining the heads of people by trying to compare. Oh,
- 2:04:42Speaker 1: this one is this? This one is that? No, no,
- 2:04:45Speaker 1: that is not your assignment. Allelujah. I once met a
- 2:04:53Speaker 1: woman with a unique grace for barningness. She may not
- 2:04:57Speaker 1: be able to professign, but if she he lays her
- 2:05:00Speaker 1: hands on you.
- 2:05:02Speaker 5: I had the privilege of praying over one of.
- 2:05:05Speaker 1: The biggest prayer mountains that I know in this nation
- 2:05:10Speaker 1: is led up by a woman, very humble woman. The
- 2:05:13Speaker 1: first time that woman came to me, she came for prayers.
- 2:05:17Speaker 1: When she began to tell me and I saw what
- 2:05:20Speaker 1: God did in her life, I felt it was me
- 2:05:22Speaker 1: that needed to kneel that letter pray for me. She's
- 2:05:26Speaker 1: dedicated it. Now it's a mighty revival center. You go
- 2:05:30Speaker 1: there and see pray ourselves like it was in the
- 2:05:33Speaker 1: days of Young Gie Show. We have not come near
- 2:05:35Speaker 1: these things where there is our pride. There are people
- 2:05:38Speaker 1: changing the world trus because they are not on social media.
- 2:05:42Speaker 1: Just because we are not invited to the places we
- 2:05:45Speaker 1: may look like the celebrities.
- 2:05:47Speaker 5: Will make no mistake.
- 2:05:49Speaker 1: God has a robot army and there are still many rising.
- 2:06:01Speaker 3: He hey, oh oh oh oh.
- 2:06:22Speaker 6: Ah ah ah ah.
- 2:06:36Speaker 7: Ah ah, please look up.
- 2:06:52Speaker 1: Let me remind you again. Some of you here are
- 2:06:55Speaker 1: leaders of small prayer groups you are starting. Don't be
- 2:06:59Speaker 1: this courage. Don't allow us men of God discourage you.
- 2:07:03Speaker 1: You will make mistakes. It is better to make mistake
- 2:07:06Speaker 1: in our presence. Let's see and correct you in our
- 2:07:09Speaker 1: lifetime than to rubbish what was done. But do not
- 2:07:12Speaker 1: be discouraged. You will make mistakes. Let God help you
- 2:07:16Speaker 1: and we will help you by the grace of God.
- 2:07:20Speaker 1: Are we together? Sometimes I see different groups, ministry groups,
- 2:07:24Speaker 1: They come together and they just want to come and
- 2:07:26Speaker 1: greet me for prayer. And you look at them. They
- 2:07:28Speaker 1: may not be dressing well, but they are serious people.
- 2:07:31Speaker 1: They may not know much what their hearts are there?
- 2:07:34Speaker 1: How dare you push them? How were we when God
- 2:07:37Speaker 1: started with us?
- 2:07:39Speaker 5: You think we were like this?
- 2:07:41Speaker 1: No nobody can ever be perfecting.
- 2:07:44Speaker 5: Not for God's use.
- 2:07:45Speaker 1: You are bused while you are going there is a
- 2:07:49Speaker 1: threshold level of training, but when you get there, He
- 2:07:53Speaker 1: begins to use you while the transformation continues. Let's give
- 2:07:57Speaker 1: younger people a chance to grow and make mistakes and
- 2:08:00Speaker 1: learn and grow and build.
- 2:08:03Speaker 5: Our job is to guide, not stop.
- 2:08:09Speaker 1: Are we together? There are many dreams and visions that
- 2:08:13Speaker 1: have been buried because of this competition. Joshua Salman, if
- 2:08:20Speaker 1: you must grow spiritually, it must be true me.
- 2:08:23Speaker 5: That is absolute nonsense. Christ is the head of the Church.
- 2:08:28Speaker 1: If I die today, God forbid, you will try to
- 2:08:31Speaker 1: raise me back to life. If I don't wake up,
- 2:08:34Speaker 1: what will you do? You would take the ground and
- 2:08:36Speaker 1: throw me there. But the program of God continues.
- 2:08:39Speaker 5: Listen to me.
- 2:08:41Speaker 1: The program of God was there before I was born.
- 2:08:44Speaker 1: Some of us are still children compared to what God
- 2:08:47Speaker 1: did before. Pastor, you can be as mighty as you
- 2:08:52Speaker 1: want to be, prophet, as man of God, woman of God,
- 2:08:57Speaker 1: no matter how young or old. I'm bringing you a word.
- 2:09:01Speaker 1: Don't despise what God is doing. Respect Joshua Selman and
- 2:09:05Speaker 1: every other man of God. Respect the fathers of faith.
- 2:09:08Speaker 1: But please not to the detriment of what God is
- 2:09:10Speaker 1: doing in your life. Do not offer honor us to
- 2:09:16Speaker 1: the point where it looks like God has top raising men.
- 2:09:19Speaker 5: No. I know we.
- 2:09:20Speaker 1: Enjoy it because it seems to massuch our ego. But
- 2:09:24Speaker 1: I'm telling you the truth. Something is wrong. Number seven,
- 2:09:32Speaker 1: the fourth scene, the seventh scene that the body of
- 2:09:36Speaker 1: Christ needs to be posched off is the sin of imbalance.
- 2:09:42Speaker 1: This is the last one, and we pray the seventh
- 2:09:46Speaker 1: scene it is not only an error, it is sein.
- 2:09:51Speaker 1: What is imbalance? Failure? Or to embrace and communicate the
- 2:09:55Speaker 1: whole Counsel of God, Acts Chapter twenty p give us
- 2:10:00Speaker 1: verse twenty seven and twenty eight. Acts Chapter twenty, from
- 2:10:06Speaker 1: verse twenty seven to twenty eight. For I have not
- 2:10:10Speaker 1: shown to declare unto you all the counsel of God
- 2:10:14Speaker 1: is that in your Bible, Paul is saying, I stand
- 2:10:16Speaker 1: by God. I did not. I did not trive your
- 2:10:19Speaker 1: lies any dimension, it says. Take he therefore onto yourselves.
- 2:10:25Speaker 1: He's charging them now and to the flock over which
- 2:10:29Speaker 1: the only goalst has made you overseer us to feed
- 2:10:32Speaker 1: the Church of God, which if purchased with his own blood.
- 2:10:35Speaker 1: Please look up. Imbalance is where there is an exaggeration
- 2:10:42Speaker 1: and the stretching of a dimension of kingdom truth beyond
- 2:10:47Speaker 1: its jurisdiction of relevance. You want to understand imbalance, you
- 2:10:52Speaker 1: have to study cooking.
- 2:10:55Speaker 5: In making a meal, It's.
- 2:10:56Speaker 1: Not the same quantity of rice that you will have
- 2:11:00Speaker 1: for salt.
- 2:11:01Speaker 5: Is that true?
- 2:11:02Speaker 1: For a plate of rice, you may need a pinch
- 2:11:06Speaker 1: or two pinches of salt.
- 2:11:07Speaker 5: And that is enough.
- 2:11:08Speaker 1: By the time you have one modu of rice and
- 2:11:11Speaker 1: one mood of salt and join them together, what have
- 2:11:14Speaker 1: you done. The ingredients are there, but not to that
- 2:11:17Speaker 1: degree or by the time you cook a nice, delicious
- 2:11:21Speaker 1: rice and then you ignore salt.
- 2:11:25Speaker 5: Imbalance. It is a.
- 2:11:28Speaker 1: Reason why believe us in our world today have not
- 2:11:31Speaker 1: been able to rise to that statue. Remember the Bible
- 2:11:34Speaker 1: says we are kings and priests. I submit to you
- 2:11:37Speaker 1: that the Church in Africa has emphasized on the priesthood dimension.
- 2:11:42Speaker 1: We have done well in terms of prayer consecration like
- 2:11:45Speaker 1: I'm doing so. The average believer in Nigeria and Africa
- 2:11:50Speaker 1: is not naive as to their spiritual development. That priesthood
- 2:11:54Speaker 1: path we have gotten it well.
- 2:11:56Speaker 5: But the kingly path, there is a lot of ignorance believers.
- 2:12:01Speaker 1: That is the reason why we cannot dominate the mountains
- 2:12:03Speaker 1: and bring glory to the Lord. That is why believers
- 2:12:06Speaker 1: can be praying in tongues while politically and sociologically we
- 2:12:11Speaker 1: become victims of situations and circumstances. This was the problem
- 2:12:15Speaker 1: between Ken and Abel. If you study the Bible, Abel
- 2:12:18Speaker 1: understood priesthood, but can built a city and named it
- 2:12:23Speaker 1: after his son. Are we together? Now? Notice that every
- 2:12:30Speaker 1: time in the Bible you see the building of cities,
- 2:12:34Speaker 1: it was the spirit of the Antichrist. Most believers stopped
- 2:12:38Speaker 1: at just understanding priesthood. Jesus when it came, he began
- 2:12:43Speaker 1: to teach and said, listen, I am sending you as
- 2:12:46Speaker 1: sheep among wolves. The average believer is ignorant as how
- 2:12:50Speaker 1: to bring the Kingdom of God the Kingdom come project.
- 2:12:54Speaker 1: We have no idea answer the average believer. What do
- 2:12:58Speaker 1: we do as far as establishing the program of God.
- 2:13:01Speaker 1: The only thing that would tell you is, let's pray,
- 2:13:03Speaker 1: let's study the scripture, Let's live a holy life, and
- 2:13:06Speaker 1: that is wonderful. That is priesthood. But the Bible says
- 2:13:09Speaker 1: we have been made onto our God.
- 2:13:11Speaker 5: Kings and priests.
- 2:13:13Speaker 1: If you are priest the Lord, you will do well
- 2:13:16Speaker 1: behind the veil. But if you come into the cosmos,
- 2:13:19Speaker 1: you will not be able to thrive.
- 2:13:22Speaker 5: The whole counsel of God.
- 2:13:27Speaker 1: There is holiness and consecration like you are receiving tonight.
- 2:13:30Speaker 1: There is a revelation of God's Word. There is the
- 2:13:32Speaker 1: prayer ministry. There is a place for system building and leadership.
- 2:13:36Speaker 1: There is a place for intelligence knowing how to occupy.
- 2:13:40Speaker 5: The secular space. I don't have time.
- 2:13:42Speaker 1: I would have shown you from scripture how Israel became
- 2:13:47Speaker 1: a great nation. Israel did not become a great nation
- 2:13:50Speaker 1: just by priesthood alone. Ah are we together? They were
- 2:13:56Speaker 1: in Egypt. They did not abort their priesthood, but they
- 2:14:00Speaker 1: do not understand the kingly dimension, and so they remain slaves.
- 2:14:07Speaker 1: So we have many believers who are sincere, but they
- 2:14:11Speaker 1: cannot pay the school fees of their children. We have
- 2:14:13Speaker 1: many believers who are sincere, but they cannot access finances
- 2:14:17Speaker 1: to build a building the whole counsel of God. The
- 2:14:25Speaker 1: lack of it is what has created the love sidedness
- 2:14:28Speaker 1: in the Church of God. So I can stand right
- 2:14:30Speaker 1: now as a man of God, and because I'm preaching,
- 2:14:33Speaker 1: you are coming to bless me. The name of what
- 2:14:35Speaker 1: I'm doing is value. Even if it is spiritual. It
- 2:14:38Speaker 1: is still the law of value. And because I am
- 2:14:41Speaker 1: dispensing value, whether I am selling it or giving it free,
- 2:14:45Speaker 1: the Lord demands that there will be a reward.
- 2:14:48Speaker 5: So you come and honor me.
- 2:14:49Speaker 1: But what of you? If I do not empower you,
- 2:14:52Speaker 1: how will I ask you to give? It is fraudulent
- 2:14:57Speaker 1: to not empower you and equip you with the truth
- 2:14:59Speaker 1: of the Gospel, and then keep demanding from you. I
- 2:15:05Speaker 1: will never be a man of God that will exaggerated
- 2:15:09Speaker 1: dimension of kingdom growth at the expense of others. Let
- 2:15:13Speaker 1: me show you something we're wrapping up. Are you learning
- 2:15:19Speaker 1: one scripture? And then we begin to pray goodness? Acts
- 2:15:25Speaker 1: Chapter eighteen, from verse twenty four to twenty six, the
- 2:15:31Speaker 1: Bible talked about a certain Jew named Apollos. The Bible
- 2:15:35Speaker 1: says he was born at Alexandria, an eloquent man. Notice
- 2:15:40Speaker 1: this man's credentials, an eloquent man, mighty in scriptures. He
- 2:15:45Speaker 1: came to Ephesos verse twenty five. This man was instructed
- 2:15:48Speaker 1: in the way of the Lord, so he was not
- 2:15:50Speaker 1: a rebel. He was mentored, being favented in spirit, he
- 2:15:54Speaker 1: spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord. But
- 2:15:58Speaker 1: his only problem was he knew only how many of
- 2:16:04Speaker 1: us preach very well. But we know only how many
- 2:16:08Speaker 1: of us do business very well. But we know only
- 2:16:11Speaker 1: respectfully speaking. There are some of us men of God,
- 2:16:15Speaker 1: we are fathers like this, but we know only administration.
- 2:16:20Speaker 1: We know only financial principles, and stopping there is imbalance.
- 2:16:25Speaker 5: There are some of us.
- 2:16:26Speaker 1: Who know only priesthood, principles of prayer, first in consecration and.
- 2:16:31Speaker 5: The world of God.
- 2:16:32Speaker 1: Some of us only we understand spiritual growth and the.
- 2:16:35Speaker 5: Rest some of us only we know government.
- 2:16:38Speaker 1: When everybody brings their only and we embrace it, it
- 2:16:43Speaker 1: will now bring completion.
- 2:16:45Speaker 5: Are we together now?
- 2:16:49Speaker 1: If I begin to teach you only business, only financial principles,
- 2:16:54Speaker 1: and your spiritual life is going down while we are prospering,
- 2:16:57Speaker 1: that is imbalance. You may be rich, you will go
- 2:17:00Speaker 1: to hell. It would destroy you. Can I tell you this.
- 2:17:06Speaker 1: We must stop criticizing dimensions that we do not understand
- 2:17:10Speaker 1: or are not captured within the frame of our training.
- 2:17:14Speaker 1: My job as a man of God is to be
- 2:17:16Speaker 1: efficient as far as the dimension of the kingdom committed
- 2:17:19Speaker 1: to me is concerned, but to have a healthy appreciation
- 2:17:23Speaker 1: knowing that I know only no matter how much I know,
- 2:17:28Speaker 1: I know only that limitation was brought about by God
- 2:17:33Speaker 1: himself so that we will embrace the entiety of the body.
- 2:17:37Speaker 1: So when I teach about the Body of Christ, I
- 2:17:40Speaker 1: teach about the fact that God has invested diversities of graces.
- 2:17:45Speaker 1: It is not everything that I know and have today
- 2:17:48Speaker 1: and that you are receiving that came from the core
- 2:17:52Speaker 1: of my call. There are many dimensions that were not
- 2:17:55Speaker 1: captured in my training. I how to outsource them through
- 2:17:58Speaker 1: honor to other vessels within the body. Are we together?
- 2:18:09Speaker 1: Let's wrap up Revelations chapter twenty one. We read verse
- 2:18:15Speaker 1: nine to eleven, and then sixteen, and then we tie
- 2:18:18Speaker 1: up to Night's teaching. Goodness. There came on to me
- 2:18:22Speaker 1: one of the seven angels which had the seven vals
- 2:18:26Speaker 1: full of the seventh last play watch this now and
- 2:18:29Speaker 1: talk with me, saying, come up hither, and I will.
- 2:18:33Speaker 5: Show you the bride, the Lamb's wife.
- 2:18:36Speaker 1: He's about to show us the Lamb's wife.
- 2:18:38Speaker 5: Now verse ten.
- 2:18:40Speaker 1: And he carried me away into the spirit and showed
- 2:18:44Speaker 1: me a great and high mountain, and showed me a
- 2:18:46Speaker 1: great city.
- 2:18:48Speaker 5: So the Lamb's wife is that city.
- 2:18:50Speaker 1: The Holy Jerusalem, descending out of Heaven from God verse eleven,
- 2:18:56Speaker 1: having the glory of God.
- 2:18:58Speaker 5: And her light was like.
- 2:19:00Speaker 1: Onto the stone most precious, even like a just pers stone,
- 2:19:04Speaker 1: clear and crystal verse sixteen.
- 2:19:06Speaker 5: Look at the Lamb's wife, the Lamb's wife.
- 2:19:08Speaker 1: That city had it lied fur square, and the length
- 2:19:14Speaker 1: is as large as the breath. And he measured the
- 2:19:18Speaker 1: city with a reed twelve thousand followings. And the Bible says,
- 2:19:21Speaker 1: the length and the breath and the heights are what
- 2:19:26Speaker 1: that balance city is. The Lamb's wife, no dimension was
- 2:19:31Speaker 1: exaggerated before another. The length is the same as the height.
- 2:19:36Speaker 1: The length is the same as the breath. When that
- 2:19:40Speaker 1: bride becomes a balanced bride, embracing all that dimension, indeed,
- 2:19:45Speaker 1: she's now the Lamb's wife.
- 2:19:52Speaker 5: The conclusion.
- 2:19:54Speaker 1: At the end of this teaching tonight, there will be
- 2:19:58Speaker 1: two groups classically one group, but.
- 2:20:00Speaker 5: For the discussion.
- 2:20:01Speaker 1: Two groups. Number one those who may have been victims
- 2:20:06Speaker 1: of many or all these things that have been mentioned.
- 2:20:12Speaker 1: And for you I have a word first John two
- 2:20:14Speaker 1: one and two. First John two one and two. This
- 2:20:19Speaker 1: is a word of encouragement. As we conclude, my little children,
- 2:20:23Speaker 1: these things I write onto you that he's seen. Not
- 2:20:26Speaker 1: for if any man, saying, he gives you a word
- 2:20:28Speaker 1: of hope that we have and advocate with the Father,
- 2:20:31Speaker 1: even Jesus the Righteous. Verse two, he says, for he
- 2:20:35Speaker 1: is the propreciation for us sins, and not for us only,
- 2:20:39Speaker 1: but the sins of the whole world. Isaiah fifty five,
- 2:20:43Speaker 1: from verse six to seven. This is the word of
- 2:20:46Speaker 1: hope for the first group that might be here. Fifty five,
- 2:20:49Speaker 1: six and seven Isaiah, seek ye the Lord, while he
- 2:20:56Speaker 1: may be found, Call upon him while he's near. Seven.
- 2:21:01Speaker 1: Let the wicked forsake his way and the unrighteous man
- 2:21:04Speaker 1: his thoughts, he says. Let him return onto the Lord,
- 2:21:08Speaker 1: and he will have messy upon him and our God
- 2:21:13Speaker 1: and to our God, for him will abundantly pardon. So
- 2:21:19Speaker 1: tonight is not for you to be discouraged. Tonight is
- 2:21:22Speaker 1: for you to know that the messy of God is
- 2:21:24Speaker 1: still available. God is exposing this so that his bride
- 2:21:28Speaker 1: will be and remain purified. For the second group, there
- 2:21:33Speaker 1: may be people who, by the messies of God are
- 2:21:35Speaker 1: standing standing in many and most of these. For you,
- 2:21:39Speaker 1: I have a word of encouragement. As we wrap up.
- 2:21:42Speaker 1: First Corinthians, Chapter ten, from verse eleven and twelve. First
- 2:21:47Speaker 1: Corinthians ten, eleven and twelve. It says, now all these
- 2:21:51Speaker 1: things happen onto them for examples, and they are written
- 2:21:56Speaker 1: for our admonition, upon whom the end of the world has.
- 2:22:00Speaker 1: Verse twelve it says, wherefore, let him that think his
- 2:22:04Speaker 1: standard take heed less he falls for those who have
- 2:22:09Speaker 1: who God has help. It is not for you to
- 2:22:12Speaker 1: be judgmental and to point hands at people. It is
- 2:22:15Speaker 1: to take heed while you stand bless you fall. The
- 2:22:19Speaker 1: final scripture, Second Corinthians one. From verse three and four,
- 2:22:23Speaker 1: we're about to pray, blessed be the name of the Lord, Allelujah.
- 2:22:29Speaker 1: He said, blessed be God, even the father of our Lord,
- 2:22:33Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, the father of messies and the God of
- 2:22:37Speaker 1: all comfort. Verse four he said, who comforted us in
- 2:22:42Speaker 1: all our tribulations, that we may be able to comfort
- 2:22:47Speaker 1: them which are in any trouble. The reason why God
- 2:22:50Speaker 1: comforted you is so that you can have the strength,
- 2:22:53Speaker 1: the stamina, the experience to comfort them which are in
- 2:22:57Speaker 1: any trouble. By the confort what we ourselves are comforted
- 2:23:03Speaker 1: of God. Tonight. God has commanded us as the body
- 2:23:11Speaker 1: of Christ. But his refining fire has come to us,
- 2:23:16Speaker 1: teaching us seven deadly scenes that we must obtain grace.
- 2:23:21Speaker 1: This is true for me, this is true for you,
- 2:23:24Speaker 1: this is true for all of us. The intention is
- 2:23:28Speaker 1: that we become a bride purified, a church purified. I
- 2:23:33Speaker 1: believe in the prophetic destiny of the Church in Nigeria.
- 2:23:37Speaker 1: I believe in the prophetic destiny of the Church in Africa.
- 2:23:41Speaker 1: In spite of all of the dica dens and all
- 2:23:45Speaker 1: the things that may be happening, a mix of strength
- 2:23:48Speaker 1: and weaknesses, a mix of crowns and pains. I have one.
- 2:23:52Speaker 2: Word for you.
- 2:23:53Speaker 1: Christ is still the head of his Church, and I
- 2:23:56Speaker 1: want to tell you, at the end of it, it
- 2:23:58Speaker 1: is victory. At the end end of it, it is grace.
- 2:24:02Speaker 1: Rise upon your feet as we pray. Only a shoe
- 2:24:08Speaker 1: who are will rain forever to his keating um thell being.
- 2:24:16Speaker 2: Know when.
- 2:24:19Speaker 8: There are names, there are titles, there are.
- 2:24:26Speaker 1: Legend entails of strength.
- 2:24:31Speaker 5: But only a shoe.
- 2:24:34Speaker 8: Will rain forwever to his King and delph There are kings,
- 2:24:47Speaker 8: there are kingdoms, there are mountains, and there are throns.
- 2:24:56Speaker 1: But only a shoe who are will for heaven to
- 2:25:03Speaker 1: his King helping no Now listen, I know that our
- 2:25:10Speaker 1: time is gone, but I'm going to give everyone two minutes.
- 2:25:14Speaker 1: No prayer point is between you and the God of
- 2:25:17Speaker 1: your salvation.
- 2:25:18Speaker 5: I read the list for you. You know where it
- 2:25:21Speaker 5: affects you.
- 2:25:22Speaker 1: Forget about the body of Christ and focus on yourself.
- 2:25:25Speaker 1: Forget about damn and think about me. In one minute,
- 2:25:28Speaker 1: can you lift your voice and cry, be merciful onto me,
- 2:25:32Speaker 1: Oh God, according to your loving kindness, go and pray,
- 2:25:36Speaker 1: Please pray, pray while I read the list for you again.
- 2:25:42Speaker 1: For you in one minute, it may be sexual immorality
- 2:25:47Speaker 1: and related perversions.
- 2:25:50Speaker 5: Number two.
- 2:25:51Speaker 1: It may be lost for money and material things and
- 2:25:54Speaker 1: obsession for it. It may be the practice of witchcraft
- 2:25:59Speaker 1: and extra biplicant practices. It may be pride, fan glory
- 2:26:05Speaker 1: and self centeredness.
- 2:26:08Speaker 5: For you, it may be the scene of the tongue.
- 2:26:10Speaker 1: You are brought pain to several people by your speakings.
- 2:26:16Speaker 1: For someone, it may be competition and unhealthy comparison, and
- 2:26:22Speaker 1: yet for another, and even for many, it may be
- 2:26:26Speaker 1: trivializing and refusing to embrace the whole counsel of God.
- 2:26:30Speaker 1: It doesn't matter where I like you to pray. Go
- 2:26:34Speaker 1: ahead and cry to the Lord one minute, please pray
- 2:26:46Speaker 1: if someone pray, I.
- 2:26:50Speaker 2: Cast my crown before.
- 2:26:54Speaker 1: The high es roh yality, I am undone before your
- 2:27:03Speaker 1: glorious Margoustine.
- 2:27:08Speaker 2: I cast my crown before.

- 2:29:17Speaker 1: may have been going to churches, hearing men of God,
- 2:29:19Speaker 1: even inviting others. Remember what I started with that Jesus
- 2:29:23Speaker 1: is coming soon. He truly is coming, and he's coming
- 2:29:27Speaker 1: for a bride without sports or rinko. Number two, there

- 2:29:33Speaker 1: you have said. Now, I need Jesus. I need to
- 2:29:36Speaker 1: make it afresh. I know that it may have been
- 2:29:39Speaker 1: decades of working or living in saying, but Jesus wants
- 2:29:44Speaker 1: to give you a new beginning. Wherever you are. I'm
