Speaker 1: Gentlemen, and the goodness we save are possible.
0:11
Speaker 2: Praise the name of the Lord.
0:14
Speaker 1: Father.
0:15
Speaker 2: We want to thank you this morning for your grace.
0:18
Speaker 1: We thank you for the abundance of your grace and
0:22
your mercy upon our lives.
0:24
Speaker 2: For helping us, for loving us, for guiding us. We
0:30
want to thank you for this session.
0:33
Speaker 1: Lord. We know already in advance that our lives will
0:36
never be the same. In the name of Jesus, we
0:41
have come hungry. We have come thirsty. We pray that
0:44
you will feel us, and I pray that out of
0:48
us will flow this life even to the nations of
0:51
the earth. We give you all the praise in Jesus'
0:55
mighty name. We pray and man, God bless you. Good morning,
0:59
please miss please be seated. Reverend Edwin, thank you again
1:04
for this opportunity, and I thank every man and every
1:08
woman of God who is here represented. I always count
1:13
it a joy and an honor to bring God's word
1:15
to his people, Because when you give a man any
1:22
material gift at all, in my understanding, you merely supported
1:27
the person to make life easier for the moment. But
1:32
when you bring enlightenment to an individual, you have supported
1:37
that person to excel for life.
1:39
Speaker 2: Allelujah.
1:40
Speaker 1: So if an individual comes who stay hungry, and you
1:44
give him one thousand and IRA ten thousand a million,
1:46
doesn't matter how much you have only support the moment
1:50
for now. But when you are able to teach the
1:53
person the principles that make for an excelling life, even
1:57
if you did not give that person any material gift,
2:00
you have blessed that person sustainably. Abraham had Isaac his son,
2:07
and Abraham had other sons that came, you know, with Hegar,
2:12
and then other concubines, and when total about six to
2:18
eight children Abraham had, the Bible says, Abraham called.
2:22
Speaker 2: The remaining children and gave them gifts.
2:24
Speaker 1: He distributed gifts onto them, but to Isaac, he gave
2:29
him everything that he had. There was no mention of
2:33
giving Isaac any material gift, and there was no mention
2:38
of conferring the blessing on any of the other children. Allelujah.
2:43
He gave them gifts and they went. Trouble is to
2:46
have knowledge without understanding. Are we together? I remember when
2:52
thirty three ten, that tiny phone not here, thirty three ten,
2:56
he still remember it. Do you know the potential to
3:00
have phones like this that literally can put you at
3:03
a global space was always there. So when your destiny
3:08
becomes it's not like new laws were created. You just
3:11
found the world making it work for you. That it
3:15
is not working for you does not mean it is
3:18
not working. It is just not working for you yet.
3:22
Speaker 2: And I'm praying for you prophetically.
3:25
Speaker 1: Whatever you have not known how to combine in the
3:28
spirit to produce an enviable destiny of greatness, may God
3:33
himself show you how to make it work. In the
3:38
name of Jesus, Allelujah, allelujah.
3:45
Speaker 2: Let me have one gentleman from the worship team.
3:47
Speaker 1: Please come. Do you play an instrument? Do you play
3:52
an instrument? Nothing at all? Is this keyboard on? Put
3:59
it on for me? Go and sit down and play
4:01
something anything at all? Watch this?
4:04
Speaker 2: Now, watch this.
4:06
Speaker 1: This keyboard was designed to afford you an opportunity to
4:12
enjoy music and enjoy the melody. Do you agree with me?
4:16
The manufacturer produced this with intention. Now here is a
4:20
very handsome, wonderful gentleman sitting in front of something that
4:25
can make all of us worship God, sitting in front
4:29
of something that can prosper him. Right, go ahead, play
4:34
anything at all? Is that the best you can do better.
4:39
Go ahead, now watch this. While you are laughing, I'm
4:45
introducing my session. You would think his looks, his smile,
4:52
his sincerity of heart, his dissent dressing would make the
4:56
keyboard answer to him differently. Now, this gentleman is seated here,
5:05
very lovely person, but with respect to results from keyboard.
5:09
Speaker 2: Look at this now.
5:12
Speaker 1: If you are to george this person's destiny, you may
5:17
be angry at the keyboard. He may be angry at
5:20
the keyboard himself. Why are you not sounding like this
5:23
man's keyboard? Play yours? Same keyboard, same hands, five fingers,
5:33
ten listen, listen, listen, listen, same eyes, same charge, same city,
5:41
same power power in both keyboards. The outcome is different.
5:46
Why are you listening to this man willing to pay?
5:49
Why are you listening to this man? If you are
5:53
to invite two of them for your son's ceremony, who
5:58
is going to come? No results, results, results. This keyboard,
6:10
you see, is based on a law. One appointed time
6:14
you could not play it too. Are we together now?
6:17
Once pointed time this man could not play it. Now
6:22
I wish we had time. I would have flipped all
6:25
of them. Now that we're done with keyboard. I would
6:27
have given them a mic. And do you sing? You sing? Now?
6:30
You see you seem smiling already because he knows that
6:33
there's there. At least it's not that bad. There is
6:35
something that I can do now if I give me
6:42
a mic, don't I'm not wasting your time? Is there?
6:45
And if there's no mica, if you don't understand what
6:52
I'm teaching you now, then is it the morning? Okay,
6:57
come my friend? At least you sing, so he's playing
7:04
for you? Now you sing something, anything at all? Even
7:07
if he's the song.
7:11
Speaker 3: You are the one that we bray is you are
7:18
the one we are? Do you give healing and grace?
7:28
Speaker 1: Ah? Hats always hunger?
7:34
Speaker 3: Oh hats Alway's hunger?
7:40
Speaker 2: Has he suddenly become your friend?
7:45
Speaker 1: This was a man that five minutes ago you ignored
7:48
him because he could not play keyboard. Now you discovered
7:51
that he was not all bad. What if, in addition
7:56
to this singing he can't play keyboard, Think of what
8:01
kind of a man he will be. Look at how
8:06
he came out of shame and reproach within a minute
8:08
by showing you that there are a few loss I
8:11
know my score is not zero. There are a few
8:15
things are found. My assignment for you tonight this not
8:19
to celebrate the one you have found, is to show
8:22
you what else you can add to your life. I
8:29
want you together now, so don't sit down in Arrowgan saying,
8:33
at least I know some things I needed to dramatize
8:36
this for you. To see this, gentleman, imagine if he
8:41
could sing, and then imagine if he could play keyboard.
8:46
Then imagine if he could dance on top. Now imagine
8:51
what sort of a human being this will be. God
8:53
wants to bring you completion because there are many of you.
8:58
The reason why the nation cannot place a demand upon
9:01
you is that what they need you have not understood
9:05
the laws that make it work in your life. If
9:11
we need singing, then this guy is invited into our space.
9:15
But if the only thing we need these instrumentals, as
9:19
gifted as he is, he will remain outside. And you
9:23
tell him, mister man, I heard you sing yesterday. Why
9:26
are you not here? And he says, they do not
9:28
need singing. What they need is weather can play. Is
9:34
someone learning now? So the Bible says, hey, woman had ten,
9:39
why did God give her ten ten of the same thing.
9:45
I thought one would have been enough, and then she
9:48
lost one. The part of this story that touches my
9:52
heart is the fact that because one was missing, she
9:56
acted as if the ninth were irrelevant. If I was
9:59
the one who after losing one, I'll say it's okay.
10:02
Nine over ten is still fair. The woman said, no way.
10:05
I know what lacking that one can do in my life.
10:09
Lacking that one can cause depletion. If I do not
10:13
have that one, they can make the other one to
10:15
also leave. And she said, I will not spare. It
10:18
must be ten over ten, and she lit her lamb.
10:22
If you saw her suching around, you would think she
10:24
was a poor woman. She was not poor. She was
10:27
a woman who was crying for completion. Are going together, God,
10:34
bless him. Let's celebrate a wonderful.
10:38
Speaker 2: Now.
10:42
Speaker 1: The journey to success, the journey to victory, the journey
10:47
to greatness is a combination. There there are three major
10:53
junctions on your journey to success, greatness and excel it
11:01
in life and destiny. Generally, number one, the first key,
11:10
and it represents the first junction you have to cross,
11:14
is wisdom. Light. Wisdom, number two faith number three power.
11:27
You will never become great in life and destiny if
11:31
you do not encounter these street junctions and cross them effectively.
11:37
Wisdom as a bridge that connects you from one dimension
11:42
to the other, Faith as a bridge that connects you
11:46
from one dimension to the other. Power as a bridge
11:51
that connects you from one dimension to the other.
11:53
Speaker 2: I have studied success a bit.
11:56
Speaker 1: I've had the honor of listening to people who have
11:58
distinguished their lives, and I have found out that if
12:01
you distill success, it boils down to these three keys wisdom,
12:07
faith and power. Wisdom, faith and power. If your life
12:15
is not working, I'm saving you the headache of random
12:18
searching so that you don't trouble shoot indefinitely and not
12:22
find answers. It is always something wrong with the bankruptcy
12:27
of light or how to apply that light, the bankruptcy
12:32
of obedience, not knowing how to engage until it produces,
12:37
or the absence of spiritual.
12:39
Speaker 2: Backing power in all its ramifications.
12:43
Speaker 1: If you find wisdom, you are taught how to use
12:46
your faith to work, and you encounter the power of
12:50
the Holy Spirit. You have mastered the keys to dominion
12:54
in these cosmos?
12:56
Speaker 2: Are we learning now? This is very very important?
13:00
Speaker 1: Behind a life of poverty, behind, a life of pain,
13:05
behind a life of stagnation in life, in ministry, a
13:09
deficiency of these factors, anything that is not working in
13:15
your life. I'm telling you wisdom. Look at the example
13:18
I gave about this our friend. What was the problem?
13:22
The wisdom, the light that know how to know how
13:26
the keyboard operates, how to play skillfully. His hands were there,
13:31
the keyboard was on, but he lacked wisdom.
13:35
Speaker 2: Now for this one, he does not lack wisdom.
13:38
Speaker 1: But if he does not stand up and sit on
13:40
the keyboard and actually play, even though he has the
13:44
ability to play, knowing how to play, he will still
13:47
not produce the results. Are we together? But there are
13:49
times he can know how to play. Are we together now?
13:53
And he has the skills, he's taking the step, But
13:56
the problem is that there is no light connected to
13:59
the keyboard, you will still not play. So if we
14:01
are diagnosing why this sound is not coming out for
14:06
us to hear, will have to diagnose the person his
14:09
understanding or his willingness to take action, or there might
14:13
be an electrical problem with the equipment itself. Are we together?
14:20
Let me tell you the truth. This whole business success
14:25
is not a mystery from a spiritual standpoint, from a
14:29
ministerial standpoint, from a business standpoint, It's just that for
14:33
most of us, in being trained to be successful, with
14:37
all due respect, most people are only giving portions of truth,
14:43
portions of truth, either in church or in a business meeting,
14:48
in some seminar. And so we have portions of truth,
14:51
or we are given truth and we are not shown
14:55
how to engage it so that it profits us. Of
15:00
the things that you know should govern success, they are
15:03
not necessarily you already know them, you're not in ignorance.
15:07
But for many of us it's a faith problem. You
15:10
have not obtained grace to engage them consistently.
15:14
Speaker 2: And then for many other.
15:15
Speaker 1: People is a power problem, the divine and gracing that
15:20
supplies us timing. Not to keep engaging till it works,
15:22
you don't have it. The Bible says, if you turn
15:26
aside in the day of battle, your strength, your strength
15:29
capacity to stay and continue till you win, is what
15:33
is small. So I'm going to be running with us
15:35
a few things very briefly. The morning sessions are usually
15:38
a brief session, So we'll touch on this and trust
15:44
that God himself will open us and cause us to
15:48
prosper in Jesus' name. Everybody's shout this. After time, he said,
15:53
as loud as you can save. My results bring glory
15:57
to God. Results always bring glory to God. This is
16:06
the first thing I wanted to know. That your results
16:09
go beyond making you great. Your results go beyond making
16:14
you successful. Your results go beyond making you a to
16:20
be perceived as someone who has made it in life.
16:23
If that is your only scope and motivation for bearing
16:27
food and producing results, you will be exhausted. It is
16:31
important to know that your bearing food is ministry, your
16:35
producing results is ministry. I always knew or desired success
16:40
in my life by any definition, but my passion for
16:45
success multiplied when I got to find out that one
16:49
of the major ways that God is glorified on earth
16:53
is when the sains bear food. One of the major
16:57
ways that God is glorified on earth in Enogo in
17:01
Nigeria is when we bear much food. He changed my life.
17:05
A few scriptures that support this. John chapter fifteen and
17:09
verse eight. The Bible says, hearing is our Father glorified
17:12
that ye bear much food. Someone say much fruit? He says,
17:16
SoC shall you be my disciple? So the Father is glorified.
17:20
If and when we bear much fruit, are we together?
17:24
The same John fifteen, verse sixteen says, you have not
17:28
chosen me, but I have chosen you and ordained you
17:33
that you should go and bring thought food. Notice in
17:38
most of the parables that Jesus gave. When he came
17:41
and did not find fruitfulness, he was sad, whether from
17:45
the victory or from the people he gave talents to.
17:48
He gave one, five, he gave one two, he gave
17:51
the other one allowed some time, returned back and said, okay,
17:56
give me an account of what has happened. The guy
17:58
with five said, I multiplied it.
18:00
Speaker 2: I now have ten.
18:01
Speaker 1: Well done, thou good and faithful, sabath The one with two,
18:04
I made four. Well done, Thou good and faithful, saba
18:06
the guy with one, even though he had the same one,
18:10
and he said, take your thing. At least I didn't lose.
18:13
Take your capital back. He rebuked me and called him
18:16
a wicked and unprofitable savant. Jesus came to the fig tree,
18:23
and the Bible says it was not even the time
18:25
of fix and yet because it was green, taken from
18:30
the earth and would not bear figs. The Bible says
18:33
Jesus cost a tree and said, no man will eat
18:36
of you again. Twenty four hours later the tree was withered,
18:39
and he did not apologize for it. It seems to
18:43
me that every time God sees fruitlessness, it does something
18:49
to him. As revealed in scripture, he is not happy,
18:52
whether in a life, whether in a church. So He's
18:55
made every investment available for the believer to ens sure
19:00
and insist that we are fruitful. And I'm telling you
19:03
that one of the major sponsors motivations for contending for
19:08
fruitfulness is that I desire to see God glorified in
19:13
and through my life. And because I want to seek
19:16
Him glorified, I will contend to be a food. Someone
19:19
says I will be a fruit. Say it again, say
19:22
I will be a fruit. Fruits in ministry, fruits of greatness,
19:27
fruits of glory. Yesterday, when we came for the conference,
19:30
I was so touched and humbled. I saw several people
19:33
the overflows. I can imagine the workers in the church happy.
19:37
You know that all your efforts and everything has been
19:40
rewarded with great results. I do not know anybody who
19:46
does not find results consoling. Results are a great consolation.
19:51
Are we together? Imagine that you came yesternight and as
19:56
soon as you got in here, it was only the
19:58
workers that were here. After all of the publicity, you
20:01
will still old service, but something within your heart to
20:04
cry and say, there's more than this?
20:06
Speaker 2: Am I right on that?
20:08
Speaker 1: As a pastor, when you are experiencing increase numerically, in grace,
20:14
in your understanding, in impact, I am telling you it
20:17
is therapeutic.
20:19
Speaker 2: There is healing that comes when you make progress.
20:22
Speaker 1: As a mother, if you watch your children make progress
20:25
that in one year three.
20:27
Speaker 2: Of your sons done with school, god jobs. Are we
20:30
together now?
20:31
Speaker 1: As a couple, you got married nine months later, no delay,
20:35
and a child has come, preferably twins or triplets.
20:38
Speaker 2: Am I profer signed to somebody? Are we together now?
20:44
Speaker 1: Humans rejoice, ladies and gentlemen when they make strategic progress
20:49
in their lives. How about business people? That from January
20:52
or until now, all that you've been experiencing is one
20:57
month getting better than the previous month. It is impossible
21:01
to live in an atmosphere of ever increasing fruitfulness and
21:05
then be sad, be gloomy. Discouragement is usually a product
21:11
of fruitlessness. For a long time, and I'm praying for you.
21:14
Anything stopping you from being fruitful going forward in your life.
21:18
In the name of Jesus, I cost it right now.
21:23
In the name of Jesus, I cost it right now.
21:28
Why do you run to church and insist on testifying
21:32
praise the Lord. I've been a graduate for five years,
21:35
no job, and now I suddenly got a job with
21:38
an international organization and for starters, my salary is five
21:42
thousand dollars per month. Are we together? How is that
21:52
our business? You are celebrating because it gives a picture
21:58
that you are making progress. The world of God is
22:01
working for you. If you go and tell your mother
22:03
I just got that job, she would dance and celebrate.
22:06
Let me tell you the truth. Whatever it is that
22:09
robs your producing results is an attack from Hell. Away together. Now,
22:14
results don't happen instantly, but eventually they should happen, and
22:19
when they do start happening, they should be in an
22:22
ever increasing dimension. It is a painful thing to once
22:25
hold on to greatness and then retreat back into your yesterday.
22:30
Every power making your yesterday to be better than your tomorrow.
22:34
In the name of Jesus, here at this conference with
22:37
silence those forces forever. Allelujah. So the first motivation. The
22:45
difference between a canal pursuit and a kingdom pursuit of
22:50
success is the motivation and the goal. The difference between
22:55
a canal pursuit, I just want to make it, I
22:59
just want to blow I just want things to happen
23:01
for me. The difference between such a person and a
23:06
Kingdom person desiring success is the motivation. That your motivation
23:13
is beyond just having money or just having a crowd
23:16
are we together, or just having things work for you
23:20
just for the sake of it. Everything in the Kingdom
23:25
must be for God's glory, your beauty, God's glory, your education,
23:30
God's glory, your resources, God's glory, great and grace, greaterpower,
23:35
God's glory. Listen, if you miss this law, you have
23:40
corrupted your pursuit. Anything you do about success will only
23:44
end up killing you. What makes the believers success useful
23:48
is this kingdom mentality that the reason why I'm contending
23:52
for this all of us are going for work in
23:55
the morning, but make no mistakes, you and your colleagues
23:58
are not the same. Motivation is to make ends meet.
24:02
Your motivation is that through your life. Are we together?
24:06
Through the excellency of your results, somebody will see that
24:10
God is a good God. Through the excellency of your results,
24:13
you would demonstrate the fatherhood of God. That means your
24:17
life is like a convas and the Lord himself desires
24:22
to paint a picture upon your life that when men
24:25
look at your life, you become a living epistle. They
24:28
can learn God as they study your results. I can
24:32
tell you you've heard me say this. Results are evangelists.
24:36
There is a salmon. Only results can preach. Only results
24:40
can preach, and there is an audience designed to listen
24:44
to that kind of someone. If your life is void
24:47
of results, there is a dimension of impact you cannot have.
24:51
Speaker 2: You cannot make. Are we together?
24:56
Speaker 1: Why does God insist that we excel in ministry? Why
25:00
does God insist that we excel in destiny just because
25:04
we're afraid of failure, or just because we're afraid of Satan,
25:08
or just because we're afraid of him in low life. No,
25:11
God's intent and interest is by far more than that.
25:15
He seeks to be revealed. He seeks to be glorified
25:18
through the saints. Therefore, the bagain, is this the foundation
25:24
for a successful life is having this orientation that my
25:29
success must be a tool that reveals Jesus. My success
25:34
must be a tool that glorifies Jesus. My success must
25:39
be a tool, not an idol. The only way to
25:43
not worship things is to convert them into tools that
25:47
reveal Jesus. If you can make your money worship Jesus,
25:52
it cannot be an idol to you. If you can
25:54
make your beauty worship Jesus, it cannot be an idol
25:58
to you. If you can make the exploits in ministry
26:01
worship Jesus. The only way to stop anything from being
26:05
God to you is to force it to join you
26:08
in worship as you honor the King. My life changed
26:12
when I add this orientation. Let me tell you the truth.
26:16
There is no pursuit in my life that does not
26:19
have turpos tied to it. If I pray right now,
26:23
I say God give me ten million souls, I have
26:27
a reason for it. It's not just to show that
26:29
I'm some great preacher. That is that is, he said,
26:33
the least of my concern. If I ask God to
26:36
keep bread until upon my table, it is so that
26:39
I can access the health that strengthens me to be
26:43
able to serve his program. I tell you why many
26:46
people fail in life this orientation. They do not have
26:50
that in my results, God is glorified, and that if
26:54
God continually gets glory in my life, he will keep
26:57
lifting me so that the glory will keep re in
27:00
to him. It say, simple but powerful principle. Allelujah, powerful principle.
27:10
Many of us sick faith, many of for sick greatness,
27:14
many of us sick glory, many of for sick and
27:17
excelling life. But like in continuation of what we said yesterday,
27:22
until that purging happens, I don't know how I can
27:25
drown this to you. The reason why many people fail
27:29
is because they do not understand that their success should
27:34
be used as tools to glorify the Lord. If you
27:39
tell me you made one billion, you told me nonsense.
27:43
Until I hear what the one billion is for. That
27:46
is where my respect comes for you and possible, by
27:49
the grace of God, I made one billion. Congratulations. Aha,
27:52
I'm still listening. Out of this one billion, God has
27:56
been able to help me to sort my life, and
27:59
the kingdom is going to benefits. Now you are speaking
28:01
God's language, and you are speaking the language of anyone
28:04
who is a lover of God. Are we together? Now?
28:09
I found the keys to health, and I made up
28:11
my mind that I'm going to start working in health. Congratulations,
28:15
But why do you want to live long? Why do
28:17
you want to be healthy? Because I've found out that
28:19
God is looking for vessels in Enugu and I have
28:23
made up my mind that I will live long enough
28:25
for God to allow this body to get tool. Now
28:28
there is justification for your being healthy. Away together now, Now,
28:32
the reason why many things destroy people in church is
28:36
that people are giving keys without purpose, keys to wealth, keys.
28:41
Speaker 2: To the anointing, but there's no purpose attached to it.
28:44
Speaker 1: And I'm showing you now that part of the wisdom
28:48
that connects you to a great destiny is not just
28:51
knowing the lass alone, understanding the motivation behind your hunger
28:57
for results. If you seely pray and asking God for
29:01
His power and glory, I tell you it's not from
29:04
a competitive standpoint. Lord, give me this, make this happen
29:08
in my life. No, there has to be a reason
29:11
why do I want a greater dimension of the annoying
29:14
upon my life? The reason is because I have seen
29:17
that the needs of people are increasing, that there are
29:21
greater needs, and were saying further fresh oil, so that
29:24
you are able to minister to the needs of those people,
29:28
thereby reflecting your love. Why am I trusting God for
29:31
increasing in every aspect of my life? If it is
29:35
just for myself, I'm okay. But for the kingdom there
29:43
needs to be a transition from being cannally minded. When
29:48
you pursue success from a canal standpoint, you are only
29:51
pursuing poison. You are pursuing what will eventually kill you.
29:56
Speaker 2: Are we together?
29:57
Speaker 1: Yes? If this is all that I teach you this morning,
30:00
it has been great for your profiting because for many
30:04
of us we learn laws and principles, But the first
30:08
kind of knowledge, true wisdom, is to understand and realign
30:13
your motivation correctly. My life changed when I reordered my motivation.
30:20
If you ever see me pray for anything at all
30:24
in my life, then I can assure you.
30:26
Speaker 2: If you ask me, I can tell you how God
30:29
will be glorified through it.
30:33
Speaker 4: Foril glow. I will do anything anything just to see
30:47
truly you, foril, just.
31:07
Speaker 3: To live.
31:12
Speaker 1: While where if someone receiving something this morning, so you
31:20
want to live an excelling life, you need to go
31:23
back to the drawing board and reorder your motivation. Why
31:33
am I praying? Why am I fasting? Why am I
31:38
coming to church? Why do I desire increase?
31:42
Speaker 2: Why am I.
31:43
Speaker 1: Taking more causes first graduate courses? What exactly am I
31:47
looking for? Once your motive is correct to see Him
31:52
glorify through my life, you have found the key. Do
31:56
you have that down now? The second thing is that
31:59
you need to pray rest to know God. I'm showing
32:02
you kids. I told you that is the journey of wisdom,
32:05
faith and power. We're dealing with wisdom. These are the
32:09
bodies of truth that makes a man wise. One is
32:12
to understand the motive, the question why in life and destiny,
32:16
and the question why is not if you have many,
32:19
wise you are not a believer. A believer has only
32:22
one why, that God will be glorified through my results
32:27
through my activities. Then number two, you must know God.
32:32
You must know God. John chapter seventeen and verse three.
32:36
This is life eternal that they may know the the
32:39
only true God and Jesus, whom thou has sain. Please
32:42
look at me. You will never truly excel in life.
32:45
In fact, you cannot truly work in faith if you
32:50
do not know God. I hope you know that God
32:52
is beyond the principle. There is a dimension of exploits
32:57
in life that is not principle depends. It is present dependent.
33:03
Principles are powerful, but principles are inferial to spirits, inferial
33:10
to presents. A spirit can stop a principle from walking.
33:16
Speaker 2: Are we together?
33:17
Speaker 1: So the principle should work. For instance, there is a
33:21
principle of reproduction.
33:23
Speaker 2: Are we together?
33:24
Speaker 1: And it should work biologically, But when a spirit is
33:28
introduced into that equation, it can compound with that principle.
33:32
Diligence is a principle. Are we together? When you are tired?
33:37
The principle is that you rest and your body experiences revitalization.
33:42
But the spirit can be introduced to your space. That
33:45
can stop principles from working. If you exalt principles beyond presence,
33:49
you are in trouble. Principles are powerful, but the presence
33:53
of God vitos any principle. It is true. I'm a
33:57
man of principles that have known the value of His presence.
34:01
Most people eat not God, and they start learning laws
34:04
and principles. Principle of this in certain spiritual knowledge, the
34:09
first part of college to know God, then know his ways.
34:13
No God, the person, the presence, ban the principles. This
34:20
is a correction for someone now, because you are full
34:23
of a lot of principles, but no experience with God
34:27
is the reason why it's not working. Principles are powerful,
34:31
and there is a dimension of principles that. In fact,
34:35
principles generally don't need the relationship. They just need obedience.
34:40
That is the reason why you can hate God and
34:42
engage some principles and they work, but they only work
34:45
if no spirit turn us with it. Most times we
34:49
make it look as if principles work indefinitely.
34:52
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter who is not true.
34:55
Speaker 1: Spirits are enhance us and enforce us of principles. Master,
35:03
we have toiled all night. It's not a laziness problem.
35:07
It's not a diligence problem. Something must have happened there.
35:11
He said, at this point, you don't need a principle again.
35:14
Let me show you what my presence can do. Cast
35:16
the net to the right side, bring me his presence
35:22
and bring me the loss of life. I will run
35:24
away from the loss and embrace his presence. Let me
35:27
see what door will not open when I'm working with Jesus.
35:31
Let me see who will not attend to me when
35:33
I find his presence. Moses did not say if your
35:35
principle does not go with us, He say if your presence,
35:42
If your presence does not go with us. You want
35:47
to be great. Respect principles, but honor God. Oh no, God,
35:53
Press to know God, press to spend time in his presence.
35:57
You see, principles does not stop challenges from coming. When
36:03
challenges come, your confidence is not just drawn from principles.
36:07
Its drawn from the one you know. But I know
36:09
whom I have believed, not just what I believe. And
36:12
I am persuaded. Are we together now? I've met many
36:18
challenges in my life as a person, and my confidence
36:23
was not in the principles that I know. My confidence
36:26
was in that presence. For instance, if somebody tells you
36:30
I had a dream and I saw you dying in
36:33
that dream, there's no principle that will bring you out
36:35
to because at that point it's not you need the
36:39
presence of God. The name of the Lord is a
36:42
strong power. The righteous run it into it and they
36:46
are safe. Am I ignoring principles? Not at all? They
36:49
have their place. But I'm telling you that this principle
36:52
mentality alone will cause people to do the right things
36:56
and still fail, and it to frustrate you because you
36:59
are doing everything that should work, and yes it is
37:02
not working. Who is learning this morning? So once your
37:07
motive is aligned, the next thing is you must take
37:11
time to know God. And I submit to you that
37:14
knowing God takes time. Over knowing God takes time. You
37:19
have to learn his character. To learn his character so
37:23
that when you stand before closed doors, rather than chickening
37:27
out in fear, you know that the God that I
37:30
serve is a mighty God.
37:32
Speaker 2: There is something about God that when you know, are
37:35
we together?
37:36
Speaker 1: I give you an instance, when your pastor told you
37:41
that we were coming for this conference, how many of
37:44
you doubted whether I will come. How many of you said,
37:49
I'm not sure Apostle will come. I'm not sure Reverend
37:54
is just lying to us because there's something you know
37:57
about him. You know that he has the capacity to
38:00
make it happen, He has the relationship to make it happen,
38:04
and he has the integrity to make it happen. Your
38:07
confidence of leaving your home to come for this conference
38:10
was based on that. So many times this obedience to
38:15
God is hinged from your not knowing him or you're
38:19
not trusting him.
38:20
Speaker 2: You are really not sure God is that dependable?
38:25
Speaker 1: Are we together? If I tell you I have one
38:30
hundred dollars in my pocket, can you see it? How
38:34
are you sure I'm not lying? Are we together? How
38:42
are you sure? Maybe I'm lying and I'll just apologize
38:45
and say I'm lying. Are together? I don't know how
38:56
I would have been able to do ministry today if
38:59
I did not time to know God. I've not known
39:01
everything about him. We're still learning, but today God can
39:05
give us instructions to do some of the things we're doing.
39:09
Let me tell you the truth, and this is a
39:10
leader's conference.
39:11
Speaker 2: I will tell you.
39:13
Speaker 1: Talking about the finance that is spent over some of
39:16
the conferences that we hold, is even the least concern?
39:19
The finance is a serious thing. What is the least concern?
39:23
You can have money, but it takes grace to confatinations together?
39:28
Are we together? This is not a money thing. It
39:31
is a true test of grace, allelujah. But where does
39:39
that confidence come from? The confidence comes from knowing God?
39:44
When I sent you lacks out anything? Where do you
39:48
find the workers. Where do you find the people? Where
39:51
do you find the place with all of the sentiments?
39:57
If someone learning. If you do not know Oh God,
40:00
you will run out of life. You will checking out.
40:05
But when you know God, there are things you will there.
40:08
Faith is a natural byproduct of taking time to invest
40:13
in the knowledge of God. You know his person first,
40:17
then his principles will profit you. But when you don't
40:20
take time to know God and you know principles, they
40:23
will work, but they are at the risk of any
40:26
interruptions that come from spirits. And spirits will come because
40:30
they know that you are about God's business. They will
40:33
come and tamper with many things, so that when one
40:36
plus one should be two, your only question will be
40:39
one plus one equals zero. You will now do ten
40:42
plus ten. The answer will still be zero. One hundred
40:45
plus hundred will still be zero, and you say, well,
40:47
this is wrong. Unfortunately, the realm of the spirit does
40:51
not work mathematically. It works as allowed by spirits the
40:56
same way. God can step in and one plus one
40:58
should be two, but God decides to add zero. Who
41:01
will clean it? So one plus one and you're one
41:07
plus one. He costs twenty and he said no, no,
41:10
this is not correct. But that's because of the presence
41:12
of God. When the principles want to say no, God says,
41:16
my presence. It's an addition, it's a factom. I hope
41:20
you understanding what I'm teaching you. There is a reason
41:22
why you see that although we engage these principles, you
41:26
clearly see that the results are beyond principles. Beyond principles.
41:32
If I tell you that every result today that God
41:35
is wrotten through our lives is purely based on principles,
41:38
it will be stupid and foolish to say that away.
41:42
Together presence, there are things you and God can discuss
41:47
in the secret place, and God can say I want
41:50
to honor you in a way, and you too, You
41:52
will see it, and you cannot remember engaging any principle
41:56
that should produce that kind of results. The reason why
41:58
there is no pride. You humble yourself again and say, God,
42:02
you have surprised me. You have surprised me again. Who
42:06
is learning.
42:08
Speaker 2: Allelujah? Principles.
42:13
Speaker 1: I remember when God gave me an instruction last year,
42:15
when we're holding our first conference, and God.
42:19
Speaker 2: Gave me that instruction, How do you go and hold
42:22
a conference.
42:23
Speaker 1: On a weekday in Europe, a week day, not a holiday,
42:27
a weekday.
42:29
Speaker 2: And then you are gathering people.
42:31
Speaker 1: You are using the largest indoor sports theater in the
42:35
whole of you know, UK.
42:37
Speaker 2: Can you imagine that a week day? Who do you
42:40
think you are?
42:41
Speaker 1: Just because you are annointed in your community, you don't
42:43
want to go and embarrass yourself in front of the
42:45
whole world. But God said so, and because you know him,
42:52
you can get up like a fool until you win.
42:57
Speaker 2: A way together.
42:58
Speaker 1: And then to make matters war, God gave me an
43:00
instruction and said, there is a narrative that the church
43:04
has sold to the European space. I want to use
43:06
you to correct and because of that, no offering and
43:10
no money will be raised.
43:12
Speaker 2: Nothing there should not be mentioned of any money, and.
43:15
Speaker 1: You are going to feed the entire workforce of over
43:17
two thousand plus people. That was the instruction. If you
43:22
don't know God, bar there are some things you should
43:25
not try because the shame and the embarrassment that comes
43:29
from your life will be a memorial that will use
43:32
it in Bible school. To one younger ministers, I hope
43:38
you are learning the knowledge of God. And we took
43:43
that step and I remember when we're wrapping up the conference.
43:48
I just stood and I looked and I said, my God, truly,
43:52
when men know God, they become science and wonders.
43:55
Speaker 2: They really become science and wonders. I remember back, and I.
44:01
Speaker 1: Said, Lord, because every time I return from an assignment,
44:03
I give God progress reporter, I go back.
44:06
Speaker 2: On my kniece and say, God, your boy is back.
44:09
You gave me an assignment.
44:11
Speaker 1: I'm done.
44:12
Speaker 2: And I remember the Lord speaking to me and said,
44:14
because you.
44:15
Speaker 1: Honored me and you obeyed that instruction, you would never
44:18
look for resources again for any international conference. It's true.
44:23
It's true. You know what it means to whold conference
44:27
in Nigeria, back to back US Canada. You see that now,
44:35
the millions of dollars that you put for those conferences,
44:40
it doesn't matter. They don't care what is happening to
44:42
your nairah that you can start negotiation before two months.
44:50
Your Narrah has done.
44:51
Speaker 2: What it has done.
44:54
Speaker 1: You see that the help of God. Let me tell
45:02
you this. I know the benefits of knowing God, and
45:05
I'm speaking to someone. Take the time to know God.
45:10
Take the time because your destiny will investigate whether you
45:16
know God. Sincerely, Jesus. I know, Paul, I know the
45:22
spirit said, but who are you? There is no standing
45:25
in the spirit. Many people are just principle conscious. I'm
45:30
coming there, but I am trying to correct something this morning.
45:34
Beyond principles, there are principles that help you to sing well.
45:41
My dear people, Am I right on that. I'm sure
45:43
some of you do all the training, your voice training.
45:46
Don't eat this ah when you are singing, no palm oil,
45:50
no this and that so it doesn't interrupt your voice.
45:53
You know that you can get all of that in
45:55
right and stand by the knowledge of principles and raise
46:00
a song with a beautiful voice. And somebody will be
46:02
sleeping while we're singing. You are mentioning Jesus, you're mentioning salvation.
46:07
You are mentioning breakthrough. And the person does not know
46:10
why he's dying as he's hearing you, because presence was
46:13
not there.
46:14
Speaker 2: Every principle was correct.
46:18
Speaker 1: The same way a preacher can come and preach principles,
46:22
genuine principles, and those who are listening they don't know
46:26
why there's no life coming from what they're hearing. There
46:29
is not an error what they're hearing, but there's no life,
46:32
because it is presence that gives life. The rod of
46:39
eron disobey a funda mental principle of growth. Anything that
46:45
grows as a tree must be planted to the earth.
46:49
But that word violated that principle. But because it was
46:53
in the place of presence, is still produced results. So
46:58
when you come and look at someone who does not
47:01
seem to have a root, and yet you see results,
47:03
it may not be fake. Find out what else supplemented it?
47:08
Are weay together? It is true that based on principle,
47:11
business people, it takes about five years listen on about
47:15
five years for any business to break even.
47:18
Speaker 2: Am I right on that? Then it would take another
47:21
three or four years to scale.
47:22
Speaker 1: If the factors are your favor root or there are
47:27
times a sincere person can say, God, I did not
47:31
come from a family with a father.
47:33
Speaker 2: I did not come from a family with a mother.
47:35
I am not lazy.
47:37
Speaker 1: This is what I bring before you. I bring my rod.
47:40
Speaker 2: And in one year you will be hearing the story
47:45
and you go hear it's.
47:46
Speaker 1: A say spell was casted on people, and people just
47:50
come to the supermarket and they are queuing before it
47:53
is open. Every time you see results that are beyond principles.
47:58
I tell you a spirit has to partner with it,
48:01
whether it is an an occultic thing, use this and
48:06
get any result on it. The moment you see one
48:10
plus one given more than two, I am telling you,
48:13
as a man of God, there is a spirit. Either
48:15
a demon is making in four or ten, or the
48:18
Holy Ghost has come to say I will back you.
48:21
I am a man of principles. I teach principles, but
48:25
by principles I should not be where I am now.
48:28
By principles, by principles, I should go forward. But not
48:34
this level, not this level of ministry, not this level
48:37
of impact. But when the presence comes.
48:41
Speaker 2: I love, I love.
48:46
Speaker 1: I love your presences.
48:50
Speaker 2: I love, I love, I love you.
48:56
Speaker 5: Geeesus, I love, I love, I love your prison.
49:08
Speaker 2: Hallelujah. Sit down.
49:11
Speaker 1: Eloquence been able to speak eloquently is a principle in communication.
49:18
And there are people who have fasting eloquence. They speak
49:22
like God's and you will be surprised. There's no increase.
49:25
Their organizations does not grow. Are we together and there
49:30
are others who will speak. You are wondering, what is
49:32
this man saying? I have studied life the equation is
49:37
not linear. No, the equation of destiny is not linear,
49:43
ladies and gentlemen, Only fools think it is linear. I
49:47
have seen an unfair advantage. What's the trajectory of the
49:52
life of a preacher? In life of someone There are
49:56
times you will see someone's equation is my lors one,
49:59
my nos one? And yet the answer is one thousand.
50:02
How did that happen? Is an answer that only God
50:05
can give. How does a young boy without a mother,
50:12
without a father, without an assistance, he started something in
50:16
school that should not even give him a job. All
50:19
of a suddenly he wakes up one morning and meets
50:21
with another person, and in four months he's working with
50:24
United Nations.
50:26
Speaker 2: No, that is one plus one. It costs one thousand.
50:30
It shouldn't be that way.
50:33
Speaker 1: My prayer for you is that this dimension of results
50:37
that will cost you you will be the first one
50:40
shot by your results. May you begin to work in
50:42
that dimension. In the name of Jesus Christ. Please be seated.
50:53
Please be seated when you take the time to know God,
51:01
understand his presence, learn how to invite Him into the
51:06
affairs of your life. The Bible captures everything I've said
51:10
in Prophaps, Chapter three, from verse five, trust in the
51:13
Lord with all your heart. He says, to lean not
51:17
onto your own understanding. Then it says, in all your ways,
51:21
acknowledge Him, and he shall direct your path. Verse seven says,
51:26
been not wise in your own eyes. That is the
51:29
danger of being enlightened with principles alone. He says, fear
51:33
the Lord and turn away from evil. I submit to
51:37
you today by the messes of God. I've stood before kings,
51:42
I've stood before precedence, I've stood before the High Almighty.
51:47
God has carried many lifetimes and brought to me today.
51:52
And sometimes I look back and I cannot see the
51:56
justification of principles alone. I am a man of principles.
52:00
Speaker 2: But if I tell you it was.
52:01
Speaker 1: One plus one that became that, I repeat to you,
52:05
I should not be at this level by principles. I
52:08
should not be yesterday, but I should not be today.
52:12
I should be somewhere between yesterday and today, still walking
52:15
my way. I share with you a vision that I had,
52:19
one of the visions that opened me up. I've shared
52:24
part of it where I saw a generation and endlessy
52:28
of people crying, no food, no water. When I was
52:33
going to rush to go and help those people in
52:35
the vision. Please listen. I say that for a reason.
52:39
I was afraid because in that vision it was as
52:43
if there were some people who wanted to hurt me.
52:45
And I was afraid because I didn't have the power
52:47
to fight. But I made up my mind. I said,
52:50
if I perish, I will perish. I can't let these
52:52
people cry like this. As soon as I opened the door.
52:57
I didn't understand what that vision meant until the later years.
53:01
Speaker 2: I opened the door by myself, engaged principles.
53:06
Speaker 1: But the first person I saw was a giant, gray
53:09
bearded man.
53:11
Speaker 2: Now I know it's a similitude of the Holy Spirit.
53:14
Speaker 1: I've been infamitely bigger than me. Maybe it would be
53:17
like twenty feet or twenty five feet. And here is
53:21
a tiny boy standing and he stretched his hand, giant hand.
53:25
He said I should place my hand on his hand.
53:27
I placed my hand, and he said, I will work
53:30
with you, and he held my hand. Watch this now,
53:33
and we started moving. You can imagine it's like dragging
53:35
a dog, but I was following then from the vision,
53:41
the journey was not a road. It was buildings, but
53:44
you had to jump from one building to the other,
53:47
and connecting the buildings were small ladders, and he took
53:52
one giant step and went to the other building and
53:55
was watching me as I was coming. I was climbing
53:57
slowly because the building was really she was a giant.
54:01
You see, I know now what that meant. The small
54:08
laders were principles. But he did not lead me to
54:11
principles alone. He was there. And there are times where
54:15
you are too slow, he says, for the purpose of
54:17
where we're going, God carries men. O. God carries men.
54:26
God carries men. If you don't believe that, you don't
54:29
know the power of God. God carries men away together.
54:33
Now like a mother carrying the baby. Is true that
54:36
the baby should walk. But there are times you are
54:38
in the urry, the flight is about to leave, and
54:40
you pick the baby. When you pick the baby, you
54:43
don't see the baby's steps, but you see the baby
54:46
inside the aircraft. How did you get there? You were
54:49
carried on the wings of this messy Let me PROFESSI
54:52
over someone in ministry, someone in business, in the name
54:56
of Jesus Christ. You will be carried on the wings
54:59
of the spirit. You will be carried to a ram
55:03
of extra ordinary results. A ram of extra ordinary manifestations
55:10
need the name of Jesus.
55:13
Speaker 2: Please be see that.
55:17
Speaker 1: Have you understood everything I've thought so far? That your
55:21
journey begins when you correct your motive. And then second
55:26
to that is your most pressed to know God. Now listen.
55:30
When the knowledge of God is in place, then you
55:34
can now begin to press to learn principles. Let me
55:37
list for you at least ten laws principles that you
55:41
need to learn to excel. I don't have the time
55:43
to teach them. Number one the law of diligence. You
55:47
must be a diligent person. Number two the law of honor.
55:52
I'm showing you the videous laws that now makes sense
55:56
when you find His presence. The law of diligence. There's some,
56:00
or I will list a few. The law of diligence
56:03
A diligent and shall be made fat for not being
56:06
a diligent person in low life can work against you.
56:09
Number two the law of honor. Number three the law
56:14
of relationships. You are as powerful as the men who
56:20
have chosen to stand with you. Did you hear what
56:23
I said? You are as powerful as the men who
56:27
have chosen to stand with you. Numbers Chapter one and
56:29
verse five. These are the names of the men who
56:33
shall stand with you. Media give it to us. Read
56:36
the apod. Please, let's read it together, one to go.
56:39
These are the names of the men.
56:41
Speaker 2: That shall stand with you.
56:44
Speaker 1: Every time God gives you an assignment, there are men
56:46
who stand with you. And to the degree to which
56:49
you have found those men, and you must know the
56:52
principles that bring them are. One principle of relationship is friendship.
56:59
Speaker 2: He that wants friends must.
57:00
Speaker 1: First show himself friendly. So if they say, turn to
57:05
your neighbor in church, and you turn and look at
57:07
the person, you will later find out that your application
57:09
is in his office. The person you just ignored. You
57:12
never knew that was a CEO who just came to church.
57:15
Turn to the person and say, good evening. Are you
57:17
ignore the person? And then by Monday morning are you
57:21
not the one who sat close to me on Sunday?
57:24
Say I didn't know the law of relationships. If someone
57:28
learning very very powerful, this as spiritual law. So laws
57:34
that if you engage, are we together? Right? The third
57:38
the law of excellence, excellence, he said law. He says, O, Lord,
57:42
our God, how excellent, not just how mighty? What does
57:47
it mean to be excellent, to be thorough, to surpass
57:51
ordinary standards. When you make up your mind to be excellent,
57:55
that in itself excellence is a language like evil, like Euroba,
58:00
like how sad. There are people who hear that language.
58:03
When you speak their language. If I say, stand up
58:06
in Ebo and someone is not evil, you will be
58:09
seated because it's not his language and it's not being
58:11
trained to learn it. Excellence is like that. Excellence has
58:15
a language that says, come to me, and those who
58:17
are excellent here that language, and they will answer it.
58:20
If your business is not speaking the language of excellence,
58:23
there are some people who will not be aware that
58:25
business is there. The Bible says, gentiles shall come to
58:29
your light, but their kings come to the brightness of
58:33
your rising the law of excellence. Are we learning now?
58:40
I mean, I'm just listening for you a few laws
58:44
that if you do not understand the law of humility.
58:48
For instance, the Bible says, body, give it grace to
58:52
the humble. God gives grace to the humble. Are we
58:55
together He opposes the proud. So every time you find
58:59
yourself engaging the law of humility, know that there is
59:03
no limit to your rising. You know why because humility
59:06
is based on an awareness of where God brought you from.
59:11
Humility is one one mistake you can make that both
59:16
God and Satan who fights you, and when God is
59:19
fighting you, the arennting cannot help you because the arennting
59:22
was not designed to fight God.
59:25
Speaker 2: The only thing that helps you when God is fighting
59:28
you is the prayer of messy are well together. There
59:33
are many people.
59:34
Speaker 1: When Satan fights you is bad, But when God fights you,
59:39
you can't run to Satan. You can't run to men's
59:42
die him fighting you you run to How can you
59:45
run to a man who is fighting you? God for you,
59:49
the only person who can help you. Where can you
59:51
hide from His presence? Will set and cover you When
59:54
God is fighting you, will men protect you when God
59:57
is fighting you.
59:57
Speaker 2: When God is fighting you, anything fights you, even what
1:00:01
He gave you.
1:00:02
Speaker 1: Anything. It's a terrible thing to fall into the hands
1:00:07
of God. If Satan is fighting you, not everything fights you.
1:00:11
There are things God gave you that can even shield
1:00:13
you from his attack. But when God is fighting you,
1:00:16
everything from him joins in the fight. Everything. This is
1:00:21
why no body wins or if you fight with God,
1:00:24
you will not win. And one way to cause a
1:00:27
fight between you and God. Unfortunately, if it ever happens
1:00:31
is pride. Pride run away from it. Have I listened
1:00:35
a few laws for you? Now? Now imagine a human
1:00:38
being who is living his life, Ladies and gentlemen, not
1:00:40
knowing God and not knowing these laws. You wake up
1:00:44
in the morning between six o'clock and twelve, you have
1:00:47
violated five laws. The law of diligence you failed. The
1:00:51
love of humility you fail, the love of relationship you feel,
1:00:56
the law of honor you fail. In six hours, you
1:00:59
have violated laws. You are only laboring, wasting your time.
1:01:02
I hope you know that everything that brings us results
1:01:05
is not what we do. Is the understanding that supports
1:01:08
what we do? Are we together do business and violate
1:01:13
these five laws. I don't care what else you know.
1:01:16
You will lose. You will lose for sure, Allelujah. There
1:01:23
are many other laws. There is a law of continuous development,
1:01:26
continuous development that you will never settle. You know that
1:01:31
there is still a better tomorrow. The law of continuous
1:01:34
development is how champions remain champions. Continuous development is not
1:01:40
for failures. It's for those who have already started producing results,
1:01:44
and something happens to you when you started producing results complacency.
1:01:49
And so when you give to continuous development, you have
1:01:53
conquered the laxity and the deception that success brings. Allelujah, principles.
1:02:07
I have a few minutes. Let me jump and talk
1:02:10
about faith. Please look up? How many of you know that?
1:02:18
It does not matter what you know if you do
1:02:22
not take steps to engage it. God is not committed
1:02:26
to making it work for you. I gave an example
1:02:29
one time. Let me give it again. Where's that my friend?
1:02:32
Please come, it's my friend. You're a good friend. Come
1:02:37
watch this. I'm going to give you an instruction. The
1:02:42
instruction is to go right there and return. Okay, so
1:02:46
go right there and return. Did he obey me? Now?
1:02:55
He may not know why there was no reward. Unfortunately,
1:02:59
this is why many people don't obey, because they seem
1:03:02
not to be able to see the reward. They want
1:03:04
to see the reward first. Are we together? Obedience is
1:03:09
not just based on reward consciousness, It's based on trust.
1:03:13
If the only thing that governs your obeying God is
1:03:17
a sense of reward, then there are many instructions you
1:03:19
will not obey because It is not every instruction that
1:03:23
comes with rewards. There are instructions that are meant to
1:03:27
build trust. I told this guy, now, go go again.
1:03:33
Speaker 2: How many of you know that? To somebody, I'm wasting
1:03:35
his time? Come back?
1:03:38
Speaker 1: Did I give you anything? Did you expand energy? You
1:03:42
would have been doing something? Go again? Come back? Go
1:03:49
one last time. Listen.
1:03:51
Speaker 2: I want to teach you a dimension of obedience. By now.
1:03:54
Speaker 1: This guy is honestly getting tired too. It's just that
1:03:56
his respect for me. Are you seeing now?
1:04:00
Speaker 2: So at this point, he's not going and coming just
1:04:03
because of reward.
1:04:04
Speaker 1: He's going and coming because he trusts that I don't
1:04:06
even know what I'm doing, but I trust that there
1:04:09
must be something I even if there is nothing. The
1:04:12
fact that he is giving me an instruction. I oh,
1:04:16
you say that his focus, it's not what you will get,
1:04:19
is who he is honoring. Most of our faith does
1:04:23
not produce because it's not hinged on God's hinged on
1:04:26
his hand.
1:04:29
Speaker 2: So we just say God, I need money, what do
1:04:32
I do? And he says give you?
1:04:34
Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, as he's giving, you are watching your basket.
1:04:37
I've dropped it. So two weeks and God says no,
1:04:41
it's not about it. It's about me who is learning.
1:04:44
I've had many teachings on faith and correcting your mind.
1:04:47
I'm sorry, we're doing a crash.
1:04:49
Speaker 2: Costs this money? Huh, lend this?
1:04:53
Speaker 1: So I'm showing you where you'll be making a mistake.
1:04:55
Go again, my friend.
1:04:57
Speaker 2: How many times has he gone?
1:05:02
Speaker 1: Call the five? Every year? How many years? Now? One
1:05:06
more year. By the time he's returning back, somebody will
1:05:11
block him and said, my brother, com this thing you
1:05:14
have been doing. I don't mean to insult you, but
1:05:20
are you a stupid person? Is something wrong with your head?
1:05:24
Watch this while you are laughing, I'm showing you why
1:05:27
things don't work. What is God looking for?
1:05:32
Speaker 2: Wasting my time for five years?
1:05:34
Speaker 1: Because our mentality is that as soon as I go,
1:05:37
once as i'm returning, he should hold something. So what
1:05:41
you are looking at is the something, not the man.
1:05:44
There are times God is building trust. It's not reward.
1:05:48
Yet go.
1:05:50
Speaker 2: One more time.
1:05:53
Speaker 1: This guy will get tired and angry. A day will come,
1:05:56
his face will start changing. That is the test. Are
1:06:00
we together? It's not the reward that is the test.
1:06:03
The only time will come where he is faced with
1:06:06
the temptation of obeying or disobeying based on weariness, and
1:06:11
he can make it convenant and say, even if he
1:06:14
tells me to go on, come one thousand times, I
1:06:17
don't care. If there's any reward, I will go that day.
1:06:20
I hear him say that maybe it's the eight time.
1:06:23
Now you go the eight time. You see that he's
1:06:29
looking at me, and then I say, you don't need
1:06:32
to go again. Here is a seed for you.
1:06:38
Speaker 2: Are we together? Now watch this?
1:06:41
Speaker 1: Put like MONEYO.
1:06:43
Speaker 2: Help me? Are we together?
1:06:46
Speaker 1: Now? Watch this?
1:06:48
Speaker 2: See he's laughing this man to life.
1:06:52
Speaker 1: Now watch this.
1:06:54
Speaker 2: Watch this, ladies and gentlemen, now watch this. Did he
1:06:59
have to go again? But you will be angry and
1:07:02
say he did not go any God money.
1:07:04
Speaker 1: You will not know that he was building trust. Let
1:07:07
me redefine faith for you. Faith is not always about
1:07:10
paying for rewards. If you don't lend this past us,
1:07:15
lend this. Don't always look for physical rewards. There are
1:07:19
times God is helping you to build trust. God will
1:07:25
tell you go and empty your account and you start rejoicing.
1:07:30
You are not rejoicing because you love God. You are
1:07:32
rejoicing because you have been taught that you can never
1:07:34
outgive God and so while you and it is true,
1:07:38
as you empty the account, you're waiting, let me hear
1:07:41
the testimony. And two years God will act as if
1:07:44
he has forgotten that obedience. That is the test there,
1:07:48
and you'll be like, God, we need to talk. Last
1:07:51
two years ago you asked me to empty my account.
1:07:55
I emptied my account and I even started speaking scripture.
1:07:58
And God will say, that's what I want to call.
1:08:00
Right when you emptied your account, it was not me.
1:08:03
Speaker 2: You trusted, it was increased you trusted. I hope you
1:08:08
know increase can be an idol. You don't like what
1:08:11
you're hearing.
1:08:17
Speaker 1: And then one day like this man. Now, now let's
1:08:23
assume I was to pay him for every step, and
1:08:26
I was to give him one one dollar? How many?
1:08:30
How many? Eight? So how much was he supposed to get? Now,
1:08:35
this guy would have gotten eight dollars, But right now,
1:08:39
for foolishly obeying without a reward consciousness and for doing
1:08:44
nothing at a place of rest, he gets on hundred dollars?
1:08:51
How much?
1:08:51
Speaker 2: One hundred dollars? Business people, ah, are you learning now?
1:09:02
Speaker 1: Now? Listen when he comes to meet his colleagues and
1:09:07
they look at him, they'll say, you are most likely
1:09:09
a chief. When everybody is getting one one dollars, where
1:09:14
did you get onundred dollars from?
1:09:16
Speaker 2: And he says, I got it by trusting God.
1:09:18
Speaker 1: You say you're a liar. They will not know that
1:09:21
when he came up this mountain, there was something he
1:09:24
was doing that did not make sense. I'm telling you
1:09:27
how God taught me fate. I act on the world
1:09:30
today not just with the consciousness of results. Don't get
1:09:34
me wrong. Results are powerful, but my obedience has never
1:09:39
been tied to results. My obedience is tied to my
1:09:43
love and my honor, to His word. That means, whether
1:09:47
it works or not, I will do what the word says.
1:09:51
Speaker 2: Who is learning?
1:09:53
Speaker 1: When the word says keef, I don't care whether increase
1:09:56
comes to me physically or not, provided it is God.
1:10:00
I leave by the world. I don't just ask the world.
1:10:04
I leave by the word. I have expectations and God's
1:10:12
word is sure what I am showing you the cure
1:10:15
to disappointment?
1:10:18
Speaker 2: Are we together now?
1:10:21
Speaker 1: Most of us are transactional with God. It's the reason
1:10:25
why you don't receive anything God. I opened my hand.
1:10:28
I gave you five narra. Where is the ten naira?
1:10:30
You said you would give me. It's either you don't
1:10:33
have the power to do it. God said, I have
1:10:35
the power, but there's something I need. I need to
1:10:37
educate your spirit to understand that for your obedience to
1:10:42
be fruitful, your obedience must be tied to your honor
1:10:46
for me and my word, not the results. That is
1:10:50
the reason why if God does not work, because your
1:10:52
attention is on increase, not God, you will leave him
1:10:55
to and not that thing that can give you increase.
1:10:58
Because the idea was not who produces the increase, but
1:11:01
the increase itself. So if God does not work and
1:11:05
some charm can walk, you say, well, it is the
1:11:07
same thing. The most important thing. My drive is the result,
1:11:11
not the person. If your drive is God, even if
1:11:14
it does not work and an alternative comes, you tell
1:11:17
them it's not the car, it's not the house. It's
1:11:20
the one who gives me. There is one who must
1:11:23
give me. If the devil says I can give you
1:11:26
a house, you say, no, the house is not bad.
1:11:28
But the person who gives Ah.
1:11:33
Speaker 2: There are things. If God does not give me, I
1:11:35
never get it. May I never get it?
1:11:38
Speaker 1: In this life? Who is learning the church needs to
1:11:41
be careful we need to With all due respect, I
1:11:44
will not say this when I'm talking to everybody, but
1:11:47
the church needs to be careful with the teaching on faith.
1:11:51
There is something about our teaching on faith that is
1:11:55
destroying people's since l But it's destroying people because our
1:12:00
faith is largely transactional. Go and read the Bible, he
1:12:07
puts chapter eleven. Please make reference to my teaching the
1:12:11
other side of faith. That there is something in the
1:12:16
Bible called building testimonials of trust. The Bible calls it
1:12:21
a good report, and that a good report is first
1:12:25
superior to obtaining promises. Who is learning faith delivers promises?
1:12:30
So I hope I didn't disappoint you this morning. Church
1:12:33
is quiet, I said, So what about my rent?
1:12:36
Speaker 6: Is?
1:12:36
Speaker 1: You don't worry? God who sort it out? Are you
1:12:38
say I should forget about it? When I left the
1:12:41
landlord with a excuse, I say, I'm coming to church.
1:12:45
God is still Father, but I'm showing you how to
1:12:47
have a rich, a full Christian life. By the time
1:12:52
your walk with God becomes transactional, it to turn to
1:12:55
idolatry where your hunger if you just so, Most people
1:13:00
are just searching for principles that they will obey, not
1:13:04
because they love God. They have been told those principles work. So,
1:13:08
for instance, they can tell you you can dance your
1:13:11
way out of trouble. Is true, but the dancing is
1:13:14
not really because you are dancing to God. You are
1:13:17
dancing as a principle, the same way a vally to say,
1:13:20
go backward. You are obeying that principle, not because you
1:13:24
like going backward. You don't care about him. You don't
1:13:26
even know his name. He just says, go backward and
1:13:28
touch this and you will be the chaman tomorrow. That's
1:13:31
how many people act with God. So the Bible says
1:13:34
dancing and say okay, God said, as you dance, I
1:13:36
would dance out might pay. And while you are dancing,
1:13:39
your attention is not on Jesus. Your attention is on
1:13:41
the result. And so if the dance does not produce it,
1:13:44
you will be angry. You don't have the courage to
1:13:47
confront him and tell him. Many of you right now
1:13:50
you are offended with God because you have obeyed many principles,
1:13:55
because your faith needs to be re educated. When your
1:13:59
faith is on God beyond the results, there's no disappointment again.
1:14:03
Your obedience becomes consistent when it is hinged to God.
1:14:08
Speaker 2: And not principles. And let me tell you something.
1:14:11
Speaker 1: The Bible says there were some that did not obtain promises,
1:14:15
but everybody obtained a good report. Remember you call them elders,
1:14:23
not because they obtained promises, for by it, the elders
1:14:27
obtained a good report. What was the report? The report
1:14:31
of righteousness that they trusted God? The report of some
1:14:35
refusing to receive deliverance looking forward to a better resurrection.
1:14:39
And the Bible called it faith. So faith that is
1:14:44
entirely hinged on only obtaining promises. I'm telling you, in
1:14:49
this end time, many Christians will chicken out because they
1:14:53
will say, Lord, I engage this thing. As a pastor,
1:14:57
I was told that if I work in integrity. Members,
1:15:00
you obeyed the principle and you kept looking. After one more,
1:15:04
no member came and he said, look, I've tried this.
1:15:06
They know, Ah, it did not work.
1:15:10
Speaker 2: Somebody will say, please, let's try another thing.
1:15:12
Speaker 1: Once we are I hope this is the right place
1:15:16
I'm saying this day. Don't get me wrong, you will
1:15:21
see more results beyond your imagination.
1:15:23
Speaker 2: I can assure you on that. But I'm showing you
1:15:26
the correct way.
1:15:27
Speaker 1: Most times, our teaching and faith, sincerely so has come
1:15:31
out of our own frustrations and to getting believers to
1:15:35
be transaction. Now it's a dangerous theology, even though it
1:15:40
since here there. This is the reason why you have
1:15:47
controversies like the giving thing. Now, that thing is an
1:15:50
embarrassment to our understanding. The church should not even be
1:15:54
discussing such things. I will tell you the reason why.
1:15:57
Because most people have trans that dad bad business with
1:16:01
somebody is just supposed that the name of the customer
1:16:04
is Jesus. The real what I said. They've done business
1:16:10
with this customer and they're saying you better show up
1:16:13
because Nigeria is boiling and this customer. I gave you goods,
1:16:18
you didn't give me the reward. And I hear that
1:16:21
you are a savior. I hear you are a redeemer.
1:16:23
I hear you are the line of tribal Juda. You
1:16:25
must be a wicked man for you to have been
1:16:27
collecting my money for all these years and you are
1:16:29
not giving me anything transaction. I truly prospered when I
1:16:35
repented from transactional living. God gives, but I am in
1:16:40
a healthy relationship with Him that does not depend on
1:16:43
what he gives me. He gave me his best already
1:16:46
when I did not ask for anything. It doesn't kill
1:16:51
my expectation. I expect great things, and I fabolize them
1:16:55
to him in prayer. But he knows that my expectations
1:16:59
for increase is secondry. My honor to him is the
1:17:03
principal motivation. I hope you're understanding this. You came for
1:17:07
a leader's meeting. Pastor, go and pray and say, Father,
1:17:10
I trust you for increase. I will obey the world
1:17:13
of God. I will pray in season and out of season,
1:17:17
but it will never never, just be because I'm looking
1:17:21
for members. If my prayer life is controlled by the
1:17:25
desire for members, that day members do not come, you
1:17:28
will eventually stop praying. If your prayer life is controlled
1:17:32
just by increase and power and annointing, a day will
1:17:36
come after firsting four hundred days. Many young people now
1:17:40
are practicing it without knowing. They are praying and fasting
1:17:43
because they have said prayer and fasting leads to power.
1:17:47
Speaker 2: They are not concerned about using it for intimacy. They
1:17:50
are just using it.
1:17:51
Speaker 1: As a spiritual transaction model to get power, and it
1:17:54
truly brings power, except that if your attention is on
1:17:59
that power, not Jesus, you will still receive an idol
1:18:02
cal anointing Allelujah. That is the reason why when you
1:18:09
taste of the power, it comes with arrogance. And you
1:18:12
can say I paid the price. So I paid that price.
1:18:16
I first started four hundred days. There's nothing wrong with that.
1:18:18
But that is absolute nonsense except the lord beauty house.
1:18:22
Speaker 2: They labor in vain. I know a gentleman who prayed for.
1:18:27
Speaker 1: Four hundred days. I'm fasted four hundred days. I wrapped
1:18:32
up with him. That gentleman cannot carry anybody out of
1:18:35
wiltair thing today. I'm not down playing it. I went
1:18:39
together while I'm saying this thing needs to be corrected.
1:18:42
Our transactional mentality. Idolatory is not only physical. You can
1:18:47
use spiritual loss to practice idolatry, and idolatry can be
1:18:51
practiced even towards Jesus. Just because the name of the person,
1:18:57
you can create an idol and name the idol Jesus.
1:19:02
Are we together now? Just because you have the idea
1:19:07
of Jesus in your mind does not mean it's the
1:19:09
Jesus of the Bible ah God. Even if you never
1:19:13
bless me. I will love you, I will serve you,
1:19:15
I will obey you, and I will live for you.
1:19:19
Thank God for the blessings. Thank God for the opportunity
1:19:22
to watch your world producing my life. But even if
1:19:25
it never bears food. If I came for this conference
1:19:30
and I met only one row of people, I tell
1:19:33
you on that God, I will still be preaching with
1:19:35
this passion. It is an honor because every one I
1:19:39
would have met is equal to the blood of Jesus.
1:19:42
I will preach and shout as if I'm talking to
1:19:44
a stadium of people. Our frustrations come because our business
1:19:49
transactions called spirituality is not working. You will need to
1:19:57
listen to this message again to understand what I've said.
1:20:00
Many of you don't yet get it. I'm being honest
1:20:02
with you. You think you got it, but you really
1:20:04
did not get it. I struggle to share what I'm
1:20:06
sharing this morning, but the Holy Spirit just put it
1:20:09
in my heart. Since I'm talking to leaders and past us,
1:20:12
this are some of the things we need to correct,
1:20:14
My dear people. We need to correct this. God corrected
1:20:17
it in my own life. You are not bad when
1:20:19
you find yourself being transactional with God. Now there are expectations,
1:20:24
and God allows us to bring expectations. But I'm saying
1:20:28
what is wrong with our Christian understanding is that we
1:20:32
come to God with a transactional mentality. Our mindset is
1:20:36
on the breakthrough. Our mindset is on the lifting. Our
1:20:40
mindset is on the promotion, not Him. It is Him
1:20:46
first before every other thing. But to my example, so
1:20:49
that this is my wonderful friend who won't sit down.
1:20:53
You see that. So you see everything I've taught you,
1:20:56
Now you learn it. You are learning your You should
1:20:59
be the one to prove use this result more than everybody.
1:21:01
Speaker 7: Huh.
1:21:02
Speaker 1: So go again one time, come back next time. People
1:21:08
ask you what is the gain in serving God? Tell
1:21:11
them the gain is the joy of honor, more than
1:21:13
the things you receive, the joy of knowing that I'm
1:21:18
honoring my King. That way, you will frustrate anybody who
1:21:22
is not serious with God because they cannot understand why
1:21:24
you are coming to church. Sister, If they ask you,
1:21:27
you have been coming to church and you are not
1:21:29
yet married. You are coming to church and you don't
1:21:31
yet have a child, Tell them I desire marriage and
1:21:34
I desire a child. But to let you know that
1:21:37
we are past that level with God a long time ago,
1:21:40
a long time ago. If my motivation for joining ushers
1:21:46
is that I hope that after two weeks I will
1:21:49
find a husband, let me tell you what you do.
1:21:51
Every time preaching is going on, you will be looking
1:21:54
at because where your where does the Bible put it?
1:21:57
Where your treasure is? And I'm not being sarcastic, all
1:22:06
were together. I like you to lay your hand on
1:22:09
your head and say, Father, redirect my focus to you.
1:22:14
Redirect my focus to you. Redirect my focus to you.
1:22:21
Speaker 7: We honor you, we honor you, we honorgue, we honor you,
1:22:34
we honor.
1:22:36
Speaker 2: You, we honor you.
1:22:38
Speaker 7: Well move you are praying, we honor you, we honor you,
1:22:46
we honor you.
1:22:49
Speaker 2: Will we honor you, we honor you, we honor you.
1:22:59
With one minute, you are praying, we honor.
1:23:04
Speaker 1: You, we honor you, we honor you, we honor you,
1:23:15
we honor you, we honor apostle. Why should I give
1:23:25
us a believer, apostle? Why should I come to churche Apostle?
1:23:31
Why should I pray? Why should I fast?
1:23:34
Speaker 2: Now you are.
1:23:35
Speaker 1: Redirecting my focus that is not just on the things
1:23:39
the blessings, the object the increase, but on him, Yes, sir.
1:23:48
So is it wrong to pray out fast for power? No, sir?
1:23:52
Is it wrong to give expecting increased? No, sir. In fact,
1:23:55
to be honest with you, when there is no expectation,
1:23:58
you will not even get an answer. I am only
1:24:01
real prioritizing your expectations, that your expectations should not be
1:24:08
on things outside of God. Look at me, How many
1:24:12
of you know that if I visit first Toss house, honestly,
1:24:18
I know that he loves me and I know that
1:24:21
he honors me. If he's away, I'm coming to his house.
1:24:24
How many of you know that at least I will
1:24:26
leave that house with a bottle of water? Is that true?
1:24:29
But will it not be foolish for that to be
1:24:31
the reason why I go to his house? When you
1:24:34
go for marriage or occasions in the East year, do
1:24:37
you go for food? But do you expect food?
1:24:41
Speaker 3: No?
1:24:41
Speaker 1: No? No? What I mean? I mean seriously?
1:24:43
Speaker 2: Now, don't tell me what happens a way together?
1:24:49
Speaker 1: Someone said yes, instead of paying ten thousand in this Nigeria,
1:24:56
I'd rather just look for somebody who is wedding are
1:25:01
way together? But what I mean this seriously. So you
1:25:05
go for an occasion and already as you are entering,
1:25:08
the table is set, but your attention is on the person,
1:25:12
the celebrant, And then even while you are eating, your
1:25:15
attention is still there. That is how to profit from it.
1:25:18
The imagine that you go to a place and you
1:25:21
this is a celebrant and he said place, I'm not here.
1:25:24
I don't know who the celebrant is, who is responsible
1:25:27
for this kitchen? And the celebrant is watching you, and
1:25:29
he says, sorry, sir, I'm not I'm not even trusted
1:25:32
in the high table. And while you see the drinks,
1:25:35
you just go there on your own. Everyone is seated
1:25:37
like this, They've not prayed, they've not gotten in too
1:25:40
it tem seven. You just open everything and say, I
1:25:42
know why I came, and what is While you are
1:25:45
saying that, you are saying, Reverend, I all know you.
1:25:47
You mean you are the one who is really celebrating
1:25:49
this birthday. How stupid does that sound? That's how a
1:25:52
lot of believers hees Jesus Christ and they come around
1:25:59
and say, it's not you. I've been praying to God
1:26:03
for a saxophone. It's just that I use your name.
1:26:05
To get here. Can you give me my saxophone? And
1:26:08
they're going around him, and he's trying to seek your attention.
1:26:10
I said, no, thank you for the saxophone. I need
1:26:13
a Bible. Jesus again, I hear that you give guitars.
1:26:16
I saw they see this, how many people are living here.
1:26:19
Look at he's trying to call you attention. I trust
1:26:21
you for a speaker again. And in the Martinium of Jesus, give.
1:26:25
Speaker 2: Me another thing again. And at the end of it,
1:26:29
you say, I'm a man of faith.
1:26:31
Speaker 1: No, nor.
1:26:35
Speaker 2: We honor you. We honor you, we honor, we honor you. Week,
1:26:50
honor you week.
1:26:55
Speaker 1: Listen.
1:26:57
Speaker 2: This was a painful education that the Spirit of took
1:27:00
me through.
1:27:01
Speaker 1: It brought deliverance to my life, but it brought power
1:27:05
to my life because when I pray, I do not
1:27:09
stop making my petitions. But it has become a relational thing.
1:27:14
I was delivered from transactional Christianity many years ago.
1:27:20
Speaker 2: By the messies of God. I have never served the
1:27:24
Lord and will never serve him for money or for things.
1:27:28
Don't get me wrong, I expect rewards.
1:27:30
Speaker 1: I am a worker in his house, and I am
1:27:34
deserving by messy of the rewards. But go and ask God.
1:27:38
If he never blesses me again, I will still hold
1:27:42
this mike till the day I see his face. You
1:27:44
see give your mindset is transactional. It will spill over
1:27:49
to how you do ministry. I'm sorry to say this.
1:27:52
I went to round up.
1:27:54
Speaker 2: This is the problem with the church in the West.
1:27:57
Their understanding of faith.
1:27:58
Speaker 1: Started well, but it started tilting towards material transactions. Has
1:28:05
proved that the world is working, and it has now
1:28:08
degenerated to several.
1:28:10
Speaker 2: Levels of compromises. So if I'm coming to your church,
1:28:13
they'll have.
1:28:14
Speaker 1: To arrange everything.
1:28:16
Speaker 2: You see that now it's a contractual thing.
1:28:18
Speaker 1: I don't need to know you. I don't need to
1:28:20
love the sheep. I don't need to love who comes
1:28:22
to get born again. That's not my business. Are you
1:28:25
going to give me fifty thousand dollars.
1:28:28
Speaker 2: If you are doing that, I'm coming to your church.
1:28:30
Speaker 1: Oh I don't want to. It's men of God who
1:28:32
will tell you somewhere have interacted, with all due respect
1:28:36
with preachers globally who would tell you some understanding that
1:28:40
people use for billistry that sometimes you need to go
1:28:43
back and say this will keep the fear of God,
1:28:48
it becomes for the highest bidder. So it doesn't matter
1:28:52
if you are a devil. It doesn't matter whether you
1:28:55
are a sauceright, whether you are practicing which is a you.
1:28:58
Are you going to give me fifty thousand and yes,
1:29:00
sign the deposit of forty thousand first, then we'll talk.
1:29:04
By time forty thousand dollars eat my account. I'm anointed.
1:29:09
It doesn't matter what happens in your church. If you're
1:29:12
a young minister, here, listen. Let me encourage you. I
1:29:14
know that we're talking to both pastors business leaders. Make
1:29:18
up your mind under God that in righteousness you will
1:29:21
get this thing right. Love everybody and honor everybody. But
1:29:26
stay with the spirit of grace to select a righteous
1:29:29
template for ministry so that you don't destroy yourself. There
1:29:33
are things that will look fashionable and marketable for a
1:29:36
while until the vengeance of God lands upon evil doers.
1:29:42
The part of righteousness may be inconveniencing for a long time,
1:29:45
but there is honor in it. I have never and
1:29:48
I'm not saying particularly for those who are music artists,
1:29:52
but as a man of God a personal philosophy, I
1:29:55
will never bring tell a church. You give me money,
1:30:01
sign this, Oh my God for buy No, I will
1:30:06
not be offended. If that's the way God trained you.
1:30:09
Save Johny We're going to stand before him. But as
1:30:12
far as I am concerned, No, there are things that
1:30:20
never motivate my passion for invitations, crowd the kind of
1:30:26
great people like we have here, wealthy people. Some of
1:30:29
you are very very wealthy people. Congratlations, thank God for
1:30:32
his hand upon your life. That's not my assignment.
1:30:37
Speaker 2: My sermons don't change because of the status of the
1:30:39
person there are well together.
1:30:44
Speaker 1: If I ALTERI my salmon, it is because of gaging
1:30:47
the various levels of spiritual maturity.
1:30:49
Speaker 2: So I know whether I save milk or meat or.
1:30:52
Speaker 1: Strong meat based on the people there from a spiritual standpoint,
1:30:56
not just a standpoint of financial status. And otherwise. There
1:31:00
are things we must correct. One of it is your
1:31:04
ideal of faith. We may not have the time to
1:31:05
do power. We'll leave power for night. We have four
1:31:09
more minutes and I want us to pray. I'm only
1:31:12
ending now so that you will pray. Are we together now?
1:31:19
If you've been sitting here from the beginning of this discussion,
1:31:21
there should be something you should correct in your life
1:31:25
in righteousness. And I'm sorry if at any point God
1:31:28
bless you, my friend, thank you were hallelujah. Anybody who
1:31:35
supported you would say, I must sharing that thing more.
1:31:39
I clap for you while you were there, So don't
1:31:41
forget about me. Praise God. Nevertheless, the foundation of the
1:31:55
Lord's standard show having deceived that the Lord know them,
1:32:01
that I his men can not the Lord. But there
1:32:05
are people the Lord knows. The Lord knows them that
1:32:10
are his. That may is not everybody belongs to him.
1:32:13
He's creator of all. What he does not relate with all.
1:32:17
There are people who are His by reason of their passion,
1:32:21
their press, their desire. Are we together that consecration and
1:32:26
that depth of rich towards Him beloved. I came here
1:32:32
by the message of God to charge your heart. I'm
1:32:35
following you. I'm showing you a path that leads to
1:32:38
authentic results. In the spirit we have the miracle service
1:32:44
for evening. I would talk in evening as if I
1:32:46
did not even mention what I said here, because the
1:32:48
evening will be focused on God bringing consolation to your lives.
1:32:52
And I will talk as if I did even mention
1:32:54
the issue of things. Who will pray for all the
1:32:57
blessings and prayer and.
1:32:58
Speaker 2: Speak restoration and all of that.
1:33:00
Speaker 1: But for you to have sustainable success, please go butck
1:33:04
and listen to this teaching again that the journey of
1:33:08
success starts when your motive is redefined. Are we together
1:33:13
the difference between canality and spirituality. It's not necessarily the
1:33:18
pursuit a sincere desire to be great, but the intent,
1:33:22
the motivation toward end and that in order of priority.
1:33:26
As you press for wisdom, the Bible says, the fear
1:33:29
of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. It's not
1:33:33
the end of wisdom. What is the beginning? The word
1:33:36
beginning there means is this the correct protocol for accessing wisdom?
1:33:41
That last, That means if your pursuit for wisdom does
1:33:44
not start with the fear of the Lord, you will
1:33:46
have corrupted wisdom. There is such a thing as corrupted wisdom.
1:33:51
For instance, the wisdom of Egypt. It is corrupted wisdom.
1:33:56
When you learn of the wisdom of Egypt, you come
1:33:59
with right. You have to sustained the ability to purify,
1:34:03
so that you can remove that which is of God
1:34:06
from that which is nonsense. Like your education, whatever it
1:34:10
is you can through the world of God rightly divide
1:34:13
what you absorb and use as a principle and what
1:34:16
you throw away. But wisdom that is of God is first, pure, purified.
1:34:22
Are we together the knowledge of God, then the knowledge
1:34:26
of His ways? Principles, my son, give me your heart
1:34:30
and let your eyes attend to my waist. And I've
1:34:33
shared with you a few principles laws they didn't have
1:34:35
time to explain them. And now we spoke about the
1:34:38
issue of faith. And I'm teaching you that faith, or
1:34:41
the real definition of Bible faith that works, it must
1:34:46
be hinged on God first before your expectation, so that
1:34:52
where your expectation is lacking, delayed, or does not even come,
1:34:56
that testimonial of a relationship with God. The pra the
1:35:00
village of communicating honor two obedience gives you consolation. Are
1:35:04
you getting the point now? So expectations are there, but
1:35:07
their secondary. Your real motivation is the honor of obeying God.
1:35:12
Speaker 2: As proof that you trust him.
1:35:14
Speaker 1: And the Bible says they looked onto Him and their
1:35:17
faces were lightened. If you look onto Him, you will
1:35:20
not be ashamed. Hold hands with someone by your left
1:35:22
and right. Let's pray in the spirit for two or
1:35:24
three minutes. Go ahead and pray chap dee laco sopriders.
1:35:28
You want this world to stay in your hearts.

1:36:07
what I'm asking you to do. You have listened to this.
1:36:10
I want you to pray the spirit. You are not
1:36:12
asking for anything. Let your attention beyond Jesus and you
1:36:16
are praying.
1:36:17
Speaker 8: Go ahead and pray shagra ta parattos calip braendga barrattosh crack,

Speaker 1: La barantoskiatar just.
1:37:44
Speaker 2: A few minutes when God is preparing your heart.
1:37:51
Speaker 1: This is how we experience restoration, an increase when our
1:37:56
attention of focus is reading the direct tape park to Jesus,
1:38:01
when I understanding, an alignment is gotten back in place.
1:38:13
Speaker 8: Lata chapat labreca bran racataca, brasca chapring and the parents

Speaker 2: And lighter access to superior light.
1:38:38
Speaker 1: That was the true light that lighted every man, lighted,
1:38:42
every man lighted, every man, light at every man.
1:38:54
Speaker 8: Lata bradacosta raca barracata.
1:39:21
Speaker 1: Allelujah, Allelujah, prays the name of the Lord. See in
1:39:29
the presence of God. Three things happen. Number one, the
1:39:32
light that comes from his word brings an adjustment to
1:39:36
your spiritual understanding.
1:39:38
Speaker 2: Number two, the second thing that happens is that there
1:39:41
is an activation.
1:39:42
Speaker 1: I'm saying that because of what is about to happen
1:39:44
here now, there is an activation to activate means to
1:39:48
make a life.
1:39:49
Speaker 2: To a reality to make a life.
1:39:52
Speaker 1: You see, the spirit of a man is like a gadget,
1:39:58
and these gadgets have different connection points, and until that
1:40:03
activation happens, that gadget will not function optimally. Like you
1:40:09
buy a fridge, there is a place where you connect
1:40:13
it to the power sauce, but there is a place
1:40:15
where you adjust away together now, so the fridge is
1:40:19
not just an empty box where you put things inside.
1:40:22
Speaker 2: There is a way you engage the fridge. That's how
1:40:25
the spirit of a man is.
1:40:27
Speaker 1: You can be connected to the power sauce, but there
1:40:30
are adjustments. There are times of fridge is not cold enough,
1:40:33
and you can adjust based on the atmospheric temperature. You
1:40:37
can make certain adjustments. The times that we live in
1:40:41
now require certain adjustments. It's like an iron. You wanted
1:40:45
to press your cloth, but now the timost that the
1:40:48
kind of material you want to press requires that you
1:40:52
use both water and fire. A mystery, both water and fire.
1:41:01
That water, you sprinkle water on the cloth to make
1:41:04
it a bit wet. Then you now iron it slowly
1:41:07
with that fire, and you see everything straightened. Allelujah, prays
1:41:14
the name of the Lord. You came here.
1:41:17
Speaker 2: Since morning you have tabernacle in this place. Will have
1:41:20
the time to pray in the evening, but I will
1:41:22
speak just over two people and then to honor God's word.
1:41:28
Speaker 1: Listen to me, many of you, what is happening to
1:41:31
you is a baptism. There is an immersion. You are
1:41:36
in this place, but the call of God is upon
1:41:40
your life. These are the first group of people. Truly,
1:41:44
I'm not talking. You're a businessman. You are the call
1:41:47
of God is upon your life. You are actually having
1:41:50
that call in ministry, either in ministry or you are
1:41:54
about to step into ministry.
1:41:57
Speaker 2: There is a grace and trusting God to rest on
1:41:59
your life.
1:41:59
Speaker 1: Now you need it. You see, haven't purified your motive.
1:42:04
And this includes men and women together. It doesn't have
1:42:07
to be men alone or women alone. I want to
1:42:09
pray for you now. You are still hold in the
1:42:11
hands of someone, and I'm praying that grace will rest
1:42:15
not everyone. This is not for everybody. There are people
1:42:18
who came here. Sincerely, you are beginning a journey with
1:42:22
God from this conference, and that journey is going to
1:42:25
lead you into deep dimensions in the spirit. Because the
1:42:29
kind of grace that you are carrying, the kind of
1:42:32
mandate God is trusting you with it. Say grace that
1:42:35
the nations must hear about. And in the name of Jesus.
1:42:39
Right now I release, I stretch my hands and I'm
1:42:43
praying for you, and you go by the power that
1:42:46
rais crimes.
1:42:47
Speaker 2: From the dead.
1:42:48
Speaker 1: Everyone who has the hand of God the call of
1:42:51
God upon his life. Let this grace I'm talking about
1:42:55
that leads to like a river into deep things in
1:42:59
the spirit. Deep things in the spirit liep things in
1:43:04
the spirit, deep encounters in the spirit that produce power
1:43:10
and makes you a man and a woman of stature.
1:43:13
May that grace rest on you, whether you are in front,
1:43:16
whether you are at the back, whether you are following
1:43:19
on life. Made that grace in righteousness, may restore on
1:43:24
you now, may restore on you now. Let it separate
1:43:29
you onto righteousness. Let it bring you into a rever
1:43:32
of power. Job said, there is a path which no eyes,
1:43:37
the eyes of the whelps, the vulture and the lion's
1:43:41
whelps has not gotten there a part of frging dimension
1:43:45
in the spirit. Made the Holy Goost take you through
1:43:48
that path, made the Holy Gooes take you through that path,
1:43:52
Made the Holy Girst take you through that path. In
1:43:55
the name of Jesus, the place of power, the place
1:44:11
of results, where you.
1:44:13
Speaker 2: Become a man of stature in the spirit.
1:44:16
Speaker 1: Indeed, number two the second group of people that I'm praying.
1:44:26
Speaker 7: For now.
1:44:28
Speaker 2: Allelujah, look or please let me have your attention.
1:44:35
Speaker 1: I'm going to pray that for everybody again, hopefully, but
1:44:39
I'm going to pray for people now who have been
1:44:43
stunted in an area in life, not because of unrighteousness.
1:44:48
Life has just happened to you in a way that
1:44:51
is not favorable, and rather than making progress in life,
1:44:55
you have found yourself even though you have engaged many
1:44:59
principles like we taught, for some reason, you have just
1:45:03
been at the same place. You will be the first
1:45:05
to experience this restoration fire, and I want to pray
1:45:11
it over you now for those people we don't have time.
1:45:14
I'm saying that I've been given ten minutes. I'm grateful
1:45:17
for that. I want you to bring those people out.
1:45:20
I will speak to them very quickly under the annuity.
1:45:23
I'm going to pray some of you like you'll be
1:45:26
learning tonight. The reason why you are where you are
1:45:30
is an engineering from darkness, is an attack.
1:45:36
Speaker 2: Are we together?
1:45:37
Speaker 1: I told you that when spirits come into the life
1:45:40
of an individual, they can make principles fail.
1:45:43
Speaker 2: Please for such people, whether you are an odsher or not, I.
1:45:46
Speaker 1: Want you to bring them out. I want to pray
1:45:48
for them now under the power of the spirit. I'm
1:45:52
going to answer that you bring them out. In the
1:45:53
name of Jesus, Father, I pray for these men and
1:45:57
women as you have put in my spirit. Anyone, anyone
1:46:01
at all who has been a paratos salikaparantos kiatar e
1:46:06
victim of these satanic afflictions. I'm stretching my hands right now.
1:46:12
Let that restoration fire fall on you. Now, let it
1:46:17
fall on you. Now, bring them out, Let it follow you. Now.
1:46:25
Speaker 2: No, I'm only asking those are that your annoys to come.
1:46:28

1:46:30

Speaker 1: It is foolish for you to think that the only
1:51:28
thing that brings money is buying and selling. I've taught
1:51:31
you principles are powerful, but when principles are failing, you
1:51:36
need spirit assistance. Some of you you have been doing
1:51:39
business well, but this year things they know work well.

1:52:10
reproach over your life and your family. I come against

1:52:17
you because I'm looking at you in the spirit and
1:52:19
I'm not seeing a face.
1:52:21
Speaker 2: And when you see that, it means there is a
1:52:23
garment of shame.
1:52:24
Speaker 1: I'm using her to pray for any sister here, any
1:52:28
daughter of Abraham, every embargo of shame that is upon
1:52:32
your face, I pray for you. Made that fail me?

1:52:43
Speaker 1: Tried Allelujah. There is someone well. We may not pray
1:52:59
for the sick and will leave it to evening. But
1:53:01
you have what the doctors call high naiir, higher nair,
1:53:06
high nair. Who is that person? High a nair.
1:53:14
Speaker 2: You've confirmed it medically.
1:53:17
Speaker 1: You're having the pain. Now how long has it been?
1:53:23
Because I'm saying that this is a pattern in the family,
1:53:26
all of you and your family. You have it.
1:53:28
Speaker 2: God wants to break that thing.
1:53:30
Speaker 1: Now do you believe in the power of God, My dear,
1:53:37
how can everybody in the family have high a nair?
1:53:40
You see? This is how you will know that it
1:53:42
is a demonic thing and need trouble you are going
1:53:45
through now, and you are seeing your family members go
1:53:48
through it too. In the name of Jesus, if you
1:53:51
have the faith to believe, I pray for you and
1:53:54

1:54:03
Speaker 2: You can imagine. Let me hear what.
1:54:07
Speaker 1: She's saying me two preted your sister.

Speaker 2: Her name is Favor. What happened to her?
1:54:17
Speaker 1: She has appointed one.
1:54:19

1:54:22
Speaker 1: I don't want to preces is on this next say
1:54:26
you come and remove your own. Thank God for conferences
1:54:32
like this, or and God for conferences like this that
1:54:38
give us an opportunity to experience the power of God.
1:54:41
You see, you will not really know the value of
1:54:44
power till trouble comes to your life, and everything that
1:54:49
can solve that trouble is not there. The Bible says
1:54:52
the woman with the issue of blood, she first tried medicine,
1:54:55
but she had spent all her earnings, so that one
1:54:58
was beyond sickness. It was said Devorah, she was in
1:55:02
no way better. Allelujah, my friend, this man, look at me,
1:55:09
stop him for me. Hold my hands, eh, I want
1:55:12
to bless you. I don't know what you do. I
1:55:14
don't know your name. I just saw myself holding your hands.
1:55:17
In the name of Jesus. I hold your hands, and
1:55:18
I pray for you. Look at me in the name
1:55:21
of Jesus. Let there be increase and restoration in your life. Increase.
1:55:26
Speaker 2: Don't forget this prayer.
1:55:27
Speaker 1: I'll go back and walk with it, and you will
1:55:30
marvel and wonder at what God does in your life.
1:55:33
God bless you in the name of Jesus Christ. Praise
1:55:38
the name of the Lord. Now we'll have to stop
1:55:40
somewhere here. The spirit of a prophet is subject to
1:55:43
a prophet. We just have a few hours and we're
1:55:45
back for the miracle service. Since you are here early,
1:55:48
let me tell you two things to do to prepare
1:55:51
for a miracle. Number one, take the time to contemplate
1:55:55
on the goodness of God, not your problem. The goodness
1:56:01
of God that he who did not spare his son,
1:56:05
but offered him up freely for us the Bible said,
1:56:08
how shall he not much more give us all things freely?
1:56:12
When you set your affection on Jesus Christ. It is
1:56:16
not evil to expect things to come. Whilce that initial
1:56:20
focus is there, you've pecked it like it amos that.
1:56:24
Then it is fair and it is righteous to receive
1:56:27
all the consolations that come with salvation.
1:56:30
Speaker 2: The Bible says, it's.
1:56:31
Speaker 1: With joy you will draw out of the wells salvation
1:56:35
as wells. There are benefits to serving God. Some one
1:56:40
or three talks about six of them. Bless the Lord,
1:56:43
oh my soul, forget not his benefits. Number one, who
1:56:47
forgiveth thy sins? Who he let all tha that diseases?
1:56:52
Are weay together? Who delivers you from death oppression? And
1:56:56
the Bible talks about who crowned thee with loving kindness
1:57:03
and tender messes, who redeemed their soul from destruction, Who
1:57:08
satisfied your mouth with good things, so that your youth
1:57:12
is renewed like that of an eagle. So I will
1:57:17
pray for you, But for the dear lady, please place
1:57:20
your hand. If your family members are around, invite them,
1:57:23
invite them here. If they cannot come, they should connect online. Father,
1:57:29
I pray for this lady in the name that is
1:57:32
above all names, Hyannaa. I decree and declare that you
1:57:37
leave this lady now the Bible says, or not this
1:57:41
woman being a daughter of Abraham, whom sat and has
1:57:45
bound these years, or not this woman. I stretch my
1:57:49
hands and I decree and declare right now, that pain,
1:57:52
that swelling, that discomfort, whatever it is, here the word
1:57:56
of the Lord give way. Now. I release the hill
1:58:00
power of Jesus to your body, and I declare correction.
1:58:04
And as it's happening to you, let it happen to
1:58:06
your sister also, and all your family members. In the
1:58:10
name of Jesus Christ. I pray Amen and amen for
1:58:13
all of you who are in front here. I stretch
1:58:14
my hands over you. I declare for some of you.
1:58:17
Even before the night session you return with your testimonies.
1:58:21
In Jesus's name, we pray, please celebrate them. You return
1:58:24
to your seat so we see in the evening, come
1:58:28
with your heart full of hunger and expectation, and the
1:58:32
Lord will do your good.
1:58:34
Speaker 2: In Jesus's name, we pray, God bless you.
