- 3:16Speaker 2: have prayed. Amen. Thank you, Father. Let's give Jesus a big, big,
- 3:24Speaker 2: big hand. And you may please be seated. So on
- 3:31Speaker 2: Sunday I began to show you what happens when you
- 3:42Speaker 2: bet Ishmael first. Okay? When the life of a man
- 3:47Speaker 2: begins with a negative contradiction. And that usually happens when
- 3:53Speaker 2: the devil can almost guess That there's something about this person.
- 3:58Speaker 2: Let me give you an instance. You think about the
- 4:00Speaker 2: story of the woman Mary Magdalene. The woman from whom
- 4:08Speaker 2: several demons were casted out. But she was the first.
- 4:14Speaker 2: She was the one who went to propagate the message
- 4:16Speaker 2: of the resurrected Christ. So sometimes what we call affliction...
- 4:24Speaker 2: It's because the devil has seen the weight of what
- 4:26Speaker 2: is coming. And when the devil can't stop what is coming,
- 4:31Speaker 2: he tries to contain it. Are you seeing that now?
- 4:38Speaker 2: For instance, somebody can be very passionate about the gospel,
- 4:47Speaker 2: have the anointing, have the message. All right. But the
- 4:53Speaker 2: fellow doesn't believe that there's such a thing as called
- 4:56Speaker 2: divine prosperity. I'm amazed to see the rate at which
- 5:01Speaker 2: the word prosperity offends. Interesting. But it's a package that
- 5:05Speaker 2: we have in Christ. Amen. It's a package. And the
- 5:11Speaker 2: reason why the devil will fight that aspect of the gospel,
- 5:14Speaker 2: I understand. In fact, let me say this to you.
- 5:17Speaker 2: When the devil truly wants to fight a subject matter,
- 5:21Speaker 2: it will amplify the voice of a false teacher to
- 5:25Speaker 2: go out first with an inadequate truth so that it
- 5:30Speaker 2: can be punctured, then when the truth comes, you don't
- 5:32Speaker 2: believe it. Somebody becomes very loud with wrong practice, with
- 5:36Speaker 2: wrong things, then everyone can see that this thing is wrong.
- 5:44Speaker 2: Even the one who doesn't go to church knows that
- 5:46Speaker 2: this is wrong. I mean, if... If I tell you now,
- 5:51Speaker 2: I won't do that, you won't do that also. You
- 5:53Speaker 2: are smart people. And you, every pastor tells you now,
- 5:56Speaker 2: go out and start drinking Isara. That doesn't make sense.
- 6:00Speaker 2: You don't even have to have the Holy Spirit to
- 6:02Speaker 2: know that people will die. So the publicity there is
- 6:08Speaker 2: to false teachers is the strategy of the devil for
- 6:12Speaker 2: silencing correct teaching. Are you with me now? Huh? So
- 6:19Speaker 2: you can believe, for instance, you have a powerful message,
- 6:23Speaker 2: have a powerful anointing, but there's also a stronghold of
- 6:31Speaker 2: faulty belief system that the devil used to contain it.
- 6:36Speaker 2: That becomes the Ishmael. Amen? Do you believe God prospers?
- 6:45Speaker 2: Do you believe God blesses? Talk to me now. Do
- 6:48Speaker 2: you believe... Do you believe God lifts men? All right.
- 6:56Speaker 2: I'm teaching here and people are connecting from different nations.
- 7:04Speaker 2: I was analyzing with the team and saw that a
- 7:08Speaker 2: TV station is going to be covering the whole of Europe,
- 7:12Speaker 2: covering the whole of Africa, covering Asia. All right. If
- 7:18Speaker 2: you don't believe in divine provision, you won't do that.
- 7:25Speaker 2: And apologies if this offends. Those who propagate falsehood are there.
- 7:31Speaker 2: Why should you that carry the truth shy back? Come on.
- 7:38Speaker 2: You can't be more Catholic than the Pope. True? You
- 7:42Speaker 2: can't be holier than the Holy Ghost. True? No. In
- 7:49Speaker 2: the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, you will have
- 7:53Speaker 2: what it takes to push the gospel forward. I think
- 7:58Speaker 2: the amen is coming from one side. Which side is it?
- 8:02Speaker 2: You will have what it takes to push the gospel forward.
- 8:05Speaker 2: In the name of Jesus. Let me give you another instance.
- 8:10Speaker 2: For instance also, influence is a powerful tool. I remember
- 8:18Speaker 2: I was on a flight and as I was entering
- 8:24Speaker 2: the flight I saw one of the fathers I respect
- 8:27Speaker 2: so much so I asked to carry his luggage and
- 8:34Speaker 2: I asked him to give me his ticket so I
- 8:36Speaker 2: saw his ticket and I saw that he booked economy
- 8:42Speaker 2: and I'm in business class so I said you know
- 8:44Speaker 2: what just sit down this is my seat I will
- 8:49Speaker 2: go to the back. But if you ask me, in
- 8:53Speaker 2: all honesty, I really wanted to sit with him. So
- 8:57Speaker 2: I could use that moment to ask questions. All right? But,
- 9:02Speaker 2: you see, so I just said, no, don't worry, sir,
- 9:04Speaker 2: you sit here. He argued, I said, sir, I will
- 9:06Speaker 2: go to the back. So I dropped his luggage and
- 9:10Speaker 2: went to the back. Then when the flight attendant said,
- 9:13Speaker 2: Apostle Lazarus, you are here? No, no, no, you can't
- 9:16Speaker 2: be here. and then brought me to where I could
- 9:18Speaker 2: now ask him the questions I wanted to ask. Influence
- 9:23Speaker 2: is a tool. It gives us an advantage. Amen? Don't
- 9:30Speaker 2: deceive yourself to say things like, I just want to
- 9:35Speaker 2: be on Loki. Are you sure? Are you sure? I
- 9:42Speaker 2: understand it's possible. Okay, it's actually possible. It's possible. It's possible.
- 9:49Speaker 2: But you might be denying yourself of certain packages. That's
- 9:52Speaker 2: the truth. I understand. In all honesty, I'm not shaming
- 9:57Speaker 2: anyone who wants to be unlucky. Okay?
- 9:59Speaker 3: Okay?
- 10:00Speaker 2: But you might just... So what I want to show
- 10:07Speaker 2: you is that the devil enjoys it most when two
- 10:15Speaker 2: sharp contrasts are planted beside each other. Two things that
- 10:23Speaker 2: contrast each other. He likes it. He enjoys it. And
- 10:28Speaker 2: I'll tell you what he achieves with it. Are you
- 10:30Speaker 2: with me? Talk to me now. Are you here? Let
- 10:38Speaker 2: me show you a scripture that will bless your heart.
- 10:43Speaker 2: Matthew chapter number 13. Matthew chapter number 13 now look
- 11:03Speaker 2: up before we read this Matthew 13 let me share
- 11:09Speaker 2: something with you I've shared this story before we're on
- 11:13Speaker 2: campus we're having a retreat so somebody recommended a man
- 11:20Speaker 2: and said I'd like for you to bring this man
- 11:23Speaker 2: to come preach. You know, in those days, we didn't
- 11:31Speaker 2: used to check for that. We just, okay, is it good?
- 11:33Speaker 2: I'm going to bring him. So we brought the man.
- 11:37Speaker 2: And I was that kind of president. I was still
- 11:40Speaker 2: trying to reorientate my people and bring them out of
- 11:44Speaker 2: many faulty thinking. Okay? So the man came and then
- 11:50Speaker 2: when I heard the sermon topic, ah, I said, I'm
- 11:54Speaker 2: in trouble. The topic of the sermon was the benefit
- 11:58Speaker 2: of poverty. Fact. And he used the whole one hour
- 12:06Speaker 2: to educate us and show us the reason why it
- 12:09Speaker 2: is important for you to be poor. I wanted to
- 12:18Speaker 2: throw up. I was sweating. I was pained. I was... Angry.
- 12:25Speaker 2: So when it was done, we packaged the hamper we
- 12:28Speaker 2: had for him and the honorarium. Maybe this honorarium would
- 12:31Speaker 2: not be necessary since the man of God wants to
- 12:34Speaker 2: be poor. But we still packaged the honorarium. And then
- 12:41Speaker 2: we had to tie the honorarium at the back of
- 12:43Speaker 2: the bike and use some rope to tie it. And
- 12:46Speaker 2: then the bike was started. It didn't start. The bike
- 12:50Speaker 2: didn't start. Myself and the Gen Sec, out of honor,
- 12:53Speaker 2: pushed the bike on the road and the bike started
- 12:56Speaker 2: after a while. And I said, if we have to
- 12:58Speaker 2: do this every day, when will we reach the world?
- 13:03Speaker 2: The body of Christ is not accustomed to balance. And
- 13:10Speaker 2: Kenneth Higgins said it. It is very difficult to find
- 13:13Speaker 2: people who understand balance. We're always tilting to one side.
- 13:17Speaker 2: There's either so much holiness and so much belief in
- 13:22Speaker 2: being small. Or there is the liberal movement and other
- 13:30Speaker 2: extremes that follows it. Do I believe in the message
- 13:35Speaker 2: of grace? Yes. That's the gospel. Are there balances? Yes,
- 13:40Speaker 2: there are balances. So you notice... We barely strike balance. Okay?
- 13:51Speaker 2: And an avid believer now is confused. Which one is
- 13:53Speaker 2: the truth? Are you with me? Say amen if you
- 13:59Speaker 2: can hear me. Let me say it again. God will
- 14:04Speaker 2: put resources in your hands. Do you believe in it? Okay.
- 14:11Speaker 2: I've said the prayer for those who believe in it.
- 14:13Speaker 2: Let me say the part two of the prayer. For
- 14:15Speaker 2: those who don't believe in divine prosperity, poverty is coming
- 14:19Speaker 2: to your hands. Okay, they are not here. Anyone who
- 14:24Speaker 2: has a contradiction against this teaching must first say amen
- 14:27Speaker 2: to this prayer. That's the only agreement. Then I will listen.
- 14:31Speaker 2: Is that okay now? If you don't believe in the
- 14:33Speaker 2: blessing of God, receive the grace and the blessedness of poverty. Church,
- 14:38Speaker 2: you are quiet. Okay, be blessed. Okay, be blessed again.
- 14:44Speaker 3: Amen.
- 14:45Speaker 2: Let's give Jesus a big hand. Okay. All right. Don't
- 14:57Speaker 2: forget what I told you. That if the devil can't
- 15:00Speaker 2: stop it, he tries to contain it. He tries to
- 15:04Speaker 2: limit the spread. He tries to decide that it should
- 15:09Speaker 2: be good, but it should not be much. You see?
- 15:13Speaker 2: So let's look at our Bibles. I want to show something.
- 15:21Speaker 2: Matthew chapter number 13. If you are there, say amen.
- 15:32Speaker 2: I started reading from verse 24. Matthew chapter number 13
- 15:36Speaker 2: from verse 24. Amen. Another parable put it forth unto them, saying,
- 15:43Speaker 2: The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which
- 15:46Speaker 2: sowed good seed in his field. But while men slept,
- 15:54Speaker 2: the enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and
- 15:58Speaker 2: went his way. But when the blade was sprung up
- 16:06Speaker 2: and brought up fruit, Then appeared the tares also. So
- 16:10Speaker 2: the servant of the householder came and said unto him, Sir,
- 16:16Speaker 2: didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? From
- 16:20Speaker 2: whence then art it tares? He said unto them, An
- 16:24Speaker 2: enemy has done this. The servant said unto him, Will
- 16:29Speaker 2: thou then that we go and gather them up? But
- 16:34Speaker 2: he said, Nay. Lest while you gather up the tears,
- 16:37Speaker 2: you root up also the wheat with them. Let them
- 16:40Speaker 2: both grow together until the harvest. I want to call
- 16:44Speaker 2: your attention to a few things. While men slept. That's
- 16:48Speaker 2: the first word. While men slept. So contradictions are sown
- 16:52Speaker 2: while men slept. Contradictions are sown while men slept. What
- 16:58Speaker 2: does it mean to sleep? It means to be in
- 17:01Speaker 2: a state of unconsciousness. to be in a state where
- 17:08Speaker 2: you are not conscious of your reality. A good seed
- 17:15Speaker 2: has been sown. But the enemy that came to sow
- 17:19Speaker 2: bad seed is such that cannot function if you are awake. Hello? Hello? Hello?
- 17:32Speaker 2: So when the Bible said, be sober and vigilant for
- 17:38Speaker 2: your enemy, the adversary, roams about like a wounded lion
- 17:43Speaker 2: looking for whom he rewards. This describes a dimension of
- 17:47Speaker 2: the enemy that your vigilance will keep away. You're being alert,
- 17:53Speaker 2: being awakened. The fact that you are conscious. Are you
- 17:57Speaker 2: aware that when you have good thoughts in your heart, Particularly,
- 18:02Speaker 2: let's say for instance, that you are conscious that you
- 18:12Speaker 2: are invigorated, for instance. I'm careful because good health is
- 18:19Speaker 2: not a reward. Yes. That's why I'm careful. There's no
- 18:27Speaker 2: such thing as because you are born again, you are spirit-filled.
- 18:31Speaker 2: you have the Holy Ghost, you speak in tongues, automatically
- 18:34Speaker 2: you'll be healthy. It's not true. No. You need to
- 18:38Speaker 2: have healthy practices to be healthy. True? You need to
- 18:43Speaker 2: have healthy practices to be healthy. You need to eat right.
- 18:46Speaker 2: You need to exercise. But are you aware, for instance,
- 18:52Speaker 2: that with long life, will it satisfy us? Amen? And
- 18:58Speaker 2: we'll see length of days. Now, being life conscious, are
- 19:04Speaker 2: you aware it is something you have to watch? If
- 19:07Speaker 2: you lose God, you will start believing things that will
- 19:10Speaker 2: kill you. You will not know when you start believing.
- 19:16Speaker 2: You see, we are surrounded with things that can administer
- 19:19Speaker 2: death everywhere you turn. Let me share a story with you.
- 19:24Speaker 2: As a pastor, I remember someone called me And that's
- 19:32Speaker 2: why if you are a minister of the gospel, please
- 19:35Speaker 2: be careful. Take your prayer life seriously. And said Aposu,
- 19:39Speaker 2: this happened, so and so person came by himself, slummed
- 19:44Speaker 2: and died. These are the kind of calls and messages
- 19:48Speaker 2: we receive with pictures. evidences at some point my phone
- 19:54Speaker 2: was filled with pictures of corpses and all that alright
- 19:59Speaker 2: so I said go to the mortuary first thing in
- 20:04Speaker 2: the morning let's have a video call let me pray
- 20:10Speaker 2: And the image remained in my mind for days. I
- 20:18Speaker 2: had to pray it out. The things you hear. The
- 20:24Speaker 2: things you see. Sometimes the things people trust you with.
- 20:28Speaker 2: You can solve their problem, then you have the problem.
- 20:33Speaker 2: Are you with me now? You can finish solving the
- 20:35Speaker 2: person's problem, then you start the problem. Oh yes.
- 20:38Speaker 1: Yes.
- 20:39Speaker 2: I remember years back while we were on campus, one
- 20:42Speaker 2: of my, a boy that was staying with me in
- 20:44Speaker 2: my house, he's a popular comedian now, was staying with me,
- 20:47Speaker 2: he was in pre-degree then. And then he just suddenly
- 20:51Speaker 2: started vomiting and then all that took him to the hospital.
- 20:53Speaker 2: They said he had cholera. Hey! So got him treated
- 20:58Speaker 2: and all that. The following week, I was back to
- 21:00Speaker 2: the same bed, the same bed where we were greeting him.
- 21:03Speaker 2: That was where they were greeting me also with oranges
- 21:05Speaker 2: and all that. You see that? So you have to
- 21:11Speaker 2: be careful. You have to guard your heart with all diligence.
- 21:15Speaker 2: If you lose guard, the enemy will sow tears. He will.
- 21:21Speaker 2: You must be conscious of the word. Are you with me?
- 21:25Speaker 2: You must insist. Let me tell you this. Word consciousness
- 21:29Speaker 2: is the ability to insist on what is written. You
- 21:32Speaker 2: must insist too. The devil is always ready to rewrite
- 21:34Speaker 2: the script. You must insist. You must insist. See, don't
- 21:38Speaker 2: just believe in length of days. Insist on it. Yes.
- 21:43Speaker 2: With long life, it will satisfy me. With long life.
- 21:46Speaker 2: With long life. With long life. Can I hear you
- 21:49Speaker 2: say that? With long life, it will satisfy me. Oh, yes.
- 21:53Speaker 2: My soul is escaped like a bird from the snare
- 21:56Speaker 2: of the fowler. The redeemed of the Lord shall doubtlessly return.
- 22:00Speaker 2: He that dwells in the secret place of the Most
- 22:02Speaker 2: High shall abide under the shadows of the Almighty. For
- 22:05Speaker 2: surely there is no divination against Israel, neither is there
- 22:08Speaker 2: enchantment against Jacob. The name of the Lord is a
- 22:11Speaker 2: strong tower. The righteous run in and they are saved.
- 22:13Speaker 2: You must insist. You must see. Are you following what
- 22:20Speaker 2: I'm saying here? Let me tell you one of the
- 22:22Speaker 2: things that shows you that the gate of your heart
- 22:24Speaker 2: is open. If, for instance, you start developing certain symptoms.
- 22:30Speaker 2: And then you start checking. Could it be this? Could
- 22:33Speaker 2: it be that? Could it be this? So it means
- 22:36Speaker 2: that where you saw that thing last, it has latched
- 22:39Speaker 2: on your soul. Somebody started having some stomach discomfort. I
- 22:44Speaker 2: remember that there was a time that dad had colon cancer.
- 22:47Speaker 2: And I said, my God, hope this is not history
- 22:48Speaker 2: repeating itself. That shows you have not dealt with it.
- 22:52Speaker 2: You deal with things at their root first. When they
- 22:55Speaker 2: are just a thought. You must never allow it to
- 22:58Speaker 2: spring up. It must die. I said it must die.
- 23:01Speaker 2: You must cut it down with the word. You must.
- 23:07Speaker 2: While men slept, the enemy came. So you must be vigilant.
- 23:12Speaker 2: Tell your neighbor to be vigilant. Tell your neighbor again
- 23:15Speaker 2: to be vigilant. Let me tell you this. A victorious
- 23:18Speaker 2: Christian is a speaking being. We speak with this same
- 23:23Speaker 2: spirit of faith. Is that okay now? We speak. Anybody
- 23:26Speaker 2: who claims to have faith and is not speaking is
- 23:29Speaker 2: not going to get results. We know faith by checking
- 23:33Speaker 2: what you say. Not the things you say in church.
- 23:35Speaker 2: We can do Christianese. The ones who say when no
- 23:38Speaker 2: one is watching. The ones who say when the contract failed.
- 23:42Speaker 2: The ones who say when things are bad. The ones
- 23:44Speaker 2: who say when you are driving. The ones who say
- 23:46Speaker 2: when you are talking. Normal things. Is that okay now?
- 23:50Speaker 2: Very important. You must learn how to deposit the future today. Yes.
- 23:56Speaker 2: You must speak it forth. You must speak it forth.
- 23:58Speaker 2: So when Elisha said, are you with me? When he said,
- 24:04Speaker 2: by this time tomorrow, a measure of wheat will be
- 24:06Speaker 2: sold for a shekel, two measures of barley for a shekel.
- 24:09Speaker 2: That was him using the creative word to determine the future.
- 24:14Speaker 2: Never keep quiet. Never. If you keep quiet, you will
- 24:18Speaker 2: carry contradictions. Say it again. I refuse to be quiet.
- 24:25Speaker 2: You must insist. You must keep saying it. Don't change
- 24:31Speaker 2: your confession. Don't change it. Things are obviously bad. Maintain
- 24:37Speaker 2: the truth. You see, the truth is not factual. Let
- 24:46Speaker 2: me tell you this. There is the truth. Then there
- 24:49Speaker 2: is fact. The fact is... This guy has malaria. Alright?
- 24:57Speaker 2: The lab result is showing it. The truth is, by
- 25:01Speaker 2: stripes we have been healed. The truth has been written
- 25:06Speaker 2: before the fact. The truth can alter the fact. Are
- 25:12Speaker 2: you with me now? Please look up, look up. Hey,
- 25:15Speaker 2: look up. Let me do a bit of... Now, I
- 25:20Speaker 2: shared this. I received... Five emergency calls. Ah, Maposu, this
- 25:27Speaker 2: person is in ICU, okay. Ah, Maposu, different countries. This one, ICU,
- 25:34Speaker 2: I said, okay. Ah, Maposu, this one, ICU, I said, okay.
- 25:38Speaker 2: I'm going to pray. All right? Then the last one
- 25:43Speaker 2: was one of my spiritual sons. His daughter is a
- 25:47Speaker 2: very young girl, just one year plus. She even had
- 25:53Speaker 2: the worst case. But she survived. Why? Because she does
- 25:59Speaker 2: not have any contradiction yet. People think it's just about saying,
- 26:05Speaker 2: in the name of Jesus, go out. You can be saying,
- 26:07Speaker 2: go out. But the fellow's belief system is, this is
- 26:11Speaker 2: where it ends. There's no magic. There are principles to
- 26:17Speaker 2: these things. One of my spiritual daughters called me yesterday.
- 26:23Speaker 2: I said, my brother is about to get married or
- 26:27Speaker 2: something this weekend. Was talking to her and slumped. Lifeless.
- 26:33Speaker 2: They were able to resuscitate him. He woke up mad.
- 26:41Speaker 2: I said, put the phone on loudspeaker. They were chaining
- 26:44Speaker 2: him down. You spirit of madness, get out of him now.
- 26:51Speaker 2: She called me yesterday night, said it's perfectly back to normal.
- 26:55Speaker 2: It's fine. It's fine. I said, don't postpone the wedding.
- 26:59Speaker 2: He's going to do it. Don't postpone it. He's not
- 27:02Speaker 2: going to do it mad. We can insist. Don't just
- 27:09Speaker 2: have faith. Insist. Insist. I'm warning you now. Believers, insist.
- 27:20Speaker 2: You can mortgage the plan God has for you because
- 27:23Speaker 2: you fail to insist. You can trade it for nothing
- 27:27Speaker 2: because you fail. As a young lady, insist. If you
- 27:30Speaker 2: ever see me walk down the aisle, I'm married right.
- 27:36Speaker 2: It is either right or right. No, no, no. You see,
- 27:39Speaker 2: it is either right or right. It is either correct
- 27:43Speaker 2: or correct. There's no room to be wrong. It is
- 27:47Speaker 2: either correct or correct. Insist. Say it when nothing looks
- 27:51Speaker 2: like it. Insist. Insist. Is that okay now? Insist. None
- 27:57Speaker 2: shall be barren amongst us. Insist. None shall lack a
- 28:01Speaker 2: mate amongst us. Insist. Is that okay now? Insist. I
- 28:11Speaker 2: went to an office. I saw a picture on the wall.
- 28:14Speaker 2: And I loved the picture. And I loved the award
- 28:16Speaker 2: in the picture. So I added the award to my collection.
- 28:20Speaker 2: So I came back home and the first thing I
- 28:21Speaker 2: said is, I'm going to get so-and-so award. He said, hey,
- 28:25Speaker 2: I'm looking for earthly award, not heavenly reward. Shut up there.
- 28:35Speaker 2: I know the doors of nations that are open to
- 28:37Speaker 2: us on the basis of certain awards. And what we
- 28:40Speaker 2: go to do there is the gospel. The two talk.
- 28:50Speaker 2: I said, I like it. Is he your like? Did
- 28:52Speaker 2: I tell you I'm not collecting my heavenly reward? Does
- 28:56Speaker 2: that make my heavenly reward short? So God answered, because
- 28:59Speaker 2: if I'm not here, I'm no longer honoring you again.
- 29:02Speaker 2: Because God is your uncle in the village. It is
- 29:07Speaker 2: difficult for a Nigerian to picture God outside his culture.
- 29:12Speaker 2: And everything about our culture here is abused. The God
- 29:18Speaker 2: who keeps malice, the God who is vindictive, the God
- 29:21Speaker 2: who is petty, the God who... The Nigerian God. That's
- 29:27Speaker 2: not my God. I said that's not my God. I
- 29:30Speaker 2: said that's not my own God. Amen? Tell your neighbor again, insist. Insist.
- 29:40Speaker 2: Tell your neighbor again, insist. Do you know how you
- 29:43Speaker 2: should be talking? My song will go around the world.
- 29:48Speaker 2: It will become an anthem. everywhere around the world. They
- 29:51Speaker 2: will sing it. Yes. Both white, Caucasians, whatever, Mongoloid, whatever
- 29:59Speaker 2: you call.
- 29:59Speaker 3: Oh, yes.
- 30:00Speaker 2: They will sing it till the end of this. Oh, yes. Oh, yes.
- 30:05Speaker 2: I tell my people, people like me don't die in
- 30:07Speaker 2: a hurry. And long after we are gone, our legacy
- 30:10Speaker 2: is here for long. Oh, yes. Standing before you is
- 30:14Speaker 2: a man whose story will be told to generations. Now,
- 30:17Speaker 2: I am aware There's nothing you want to tell me
- 30:22Speaker 2: that not make me say, oh, wow, really? I'm so
- 30:25Speaker 2: touched by what you said. I'm saying it for courtesy,
- 30:26Speaker 2: my friend. What do you mean? I know what you
- 30:28Speaker 2: don't even know about myself. Any good thing you tell
- 30:33Speaker 2: me is not an information. I'm aware. I said I'm aware.
- 30:38Speaker 2: Is it right to be aware? I'm aware. I'm aware
- 30:41Speaker 2: that I'm a blessing. I'm aware. I know who I
- 30:43Speaker 2: am in Christ. I'm aware. How can you carry this
- 30:47Speaker 2: loaded grace and you still carry timidity? That's contradiction. It
- 30:51Speaker 2: doesn't make sense. Don't be religious about your faith. I'm aware.
- 30:56Speaker 2: I know who I am. Isn't that simple enough? Let's
- 31:00Speaker 2: start from simple things like you are fine. Some don't know. Say,
- 31:04Speaker 2: you are very fine. They say, oh, are you serious? I...
- 31:11Speaker 2: Your mirror has failed the test of authenticity. Are you serious?
- 31:19Speaker 2: Thank you for telling me. When you look at the mirror,
- 31:27Speaker 2: you don't really see what appears. You see what you believe.
- 31:31Speaker 2: You see what you believe. I'm telling you. That means
- 31:34Speaker 2: that your mind is more powerful than your sight. I'm
- 31:36Speaker 2: telling you. You see what you believe. You see what
- 31:39Speaker 2: you believe. Say it again, I'm aware. Now, let me
- 31:43Speaker 2: tell you this. The purpose of tough times is to
- 31:48Speaker 2: change what you believe. To make you look at it
- 31:53Speaker 2: and say it's not true anymore. Let me show you.
- 31:55Speaker 2: That's in Matthew 13. Amen. That's in Matthew 13. Are
- 32:00Speaker 2: you there? Now, let's go a bit. Let's go up
- 32:07Speaker 2: a bit. Now look at it, Matthew chapter number 13.
- 32:18Speaker 2: Let's go to verse 20. It says that, But he
- 32:23Speaker 2: that received the seed into stony places, the same is
- 32:30Speaker 2: he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it.
- 32:37Speaker 2: Yet hath he not root in himself? but endure it
- 32:42Speaker 2: for a while. For when tribulation or persecution arises, because
- 32:48Speaker 2: of the word, the purpose of the persecution, because of what?
- 32:54Speaker 2: The word. By and by, he is offended. So, somebody
- 33:05Speaker 2: just received the word, then the direct opposite start happening.
- 33:09Speaker 2: It is only checking you out. You must move from
- 33:12Speaker 2: just confessing to insisting. Believers have not learned this. Insist.
- 33:16Speaker 2: Are you following what I'm saying here? Insist. Stand your,
- 33:20Speaker 2: be stubborn. Be stubborn about what you believe. Be stubborn.
- 33:29Speaker 2: Be ruthless. Do you have things you are, that you believe?
- 33:39Speaker 2: What are you living for? What should we expect in
- 33:43Speaker 2: the next 10 years? Where will you be? Who are
- 33:48Speaker 2: you in the next five years? I love the quote
- 33:54Speaker 2: I saw on the wall by Mother Teresa. We are
- 33:57Speaker 2: afraid of the future because we have destroyed it today. Amen.
- 34:06Speaker 2: You should have confession notes that helps you to insist.
- 34:10Speaker 2: Can I give you two minutes? Let's rise on our feet.
- 34:15Speaker 2: Warfare is not until you see an enemy from father's house.
- 34:18Speaker 2: This is warfare. You are breaking through the limitations of
- 34:21Speaker 2: your mind. You are breaking through all the things that limit.
- 34:24Speaker 2: Is that okay now? In the next one, two minutes,
- 34:27Speaker 2: can I have you insist on certain things? Go ahead. Now,
- 34:32Speaker 2: don't do it as a gentleman. Don't do it politely.
- 34:35Speaker 2: Walk around, come on, and insist what your lot is. Insist.
- 34:43Speaker 2: Come on, go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. Oh, yes.
- 35:01Speaker 2: Come on, insist. Come on, insist. Oh, yes. Oh yes.
- 35:16Speaker 2: Oh yes. You have a minute more. You have a
- 35:20Speaker 2: minute more. Insist. Insist. Insist. Insist. Insist. Insist. This is
- 35:29Speaker 2: my reality. This is my reality. This is my reality.
- 35:44Speaker 2: This is my reality. Oh yes. Oh yes. Oh yes.
- 35:55Speaker 2: The weapons of our warfare are not carnal but they
- 35:57Speaker 2: are mighty through God for the pulling down of strongholds.
- 36:01Speaker 2: Casting down imagination. Oh yes. Oh yes. Oh yes. Oh yes.
- 36:10Speaker 2: It is done in Jesus name. mighty name. We are praying.
- 36:16Speaker 2: Say that amen loud enough. Sit down for a while.
- 36:19Speaker 2: Are you aware that Jesus never spoke about his death
- 36:25Speaker 2: without speaking about his resurrection? He never did. He kept insisting.
- 36:32Speaker 2: He would never allow the body of his only one
- 36:35Speaker 2: to see corruption. He kept insisting. Pull down this tabernacle.
- 36:40Speaker 2: After three days it will come up. If not, he
- 36:43Speaker 2: will bet Ishmael and Isaac. Powerful, sound, but sick. There
- 36:50Speaker 2: are very few believers that want to enjoy the entire
- 36:53Speaker 2: package that we have in Christ. It's a whole package.
- 36:57Speaker 2: Don't be religious about it. It's a whole package. The
- 37:01Speaker 2: goodness of God is too much. It offends the religious.
- 37:05Speaker 2: It does. Amen. Now, I remember when Android first came out.
- 37:16Speaker 2: Some of us used to download games on the Android.
- 37:20Speaker 2: Killer Bean, all those stuff. As you play the game,
- 37:28Speaker 2: as you play the game to a certain level, then
- 37:30Speaker 2: there are certain things you are qualified for. A new weapon.
- 37:37Speaker 2: It makes your fight easier. Yeah. Revelations 5. Let's see it.
- 37:44Speaker 2: Revelations 5. Look at it. Let's start the reading from
- 37:55Speaker 2: verse Let's start from verse 11. Revelations 5 from 11.
- 38:03Speaker 2: And I beheld and I heard the voice of many
- 38:07Speaker 2: angels round about the throne and the beasts, and the elders.
- 38:12Speaker 2: And the numbers of them was 10,000 times 10,000, and
- 38:16Speaker 2: thousands of thousands. Alright? Yes, 12. Quickly. Saying with a
- 38:24Speaker 2: loud voice, what is the lamb that was slain? Now
- 38:28Speaker 2: let me explain a law. There's a law you have
- 38:32Speaker 2: to understand about the relationship of Christ and his bride.
- 38:37Speaker 2: That what he receives, he receives For the bride. Matthew 28.
- 38:42Speaker 2: We start from verse 18. Give us Matthew 28 verse 18.
- 38:46Speaker 2: Let me give you a few illustrations. For instance. Quickly.
- 38:49Speaker 2: Matthew 28 from verse 18. Jesus came and spoke unto
- 38:53Speaker 2: them saying. What is this? All power is given unto
- 38:57Speaker 2: me in heaven and in earth. Alright. So he said
- 39:00Speaker 2: all power. What's verse 19 now? Quickly. Now many of
- 39:04Speaker 2: you are familiar with verse 19. But you don't take
- 39:06Speaker 2: attention to verse 18. Go ye therefore. So when he says,
- 39:10Speaker 2: all power is given unto me, and I'm now saying,
- 39:12Speaker 2: go ye therefore. You are a lawyer, right? So I'm saying,
- 39:15Speaker 2: go in my might. That's power of attorney. That's me
- 39:19Speaker 2: giving you the right to speak in my place as me.
- 39:28Speaker 2: We believe in oneness in myself. but we doubt our
- 39:31Speaker 2: union with Christ. And when you speak from the place
- 39:37Speaker 2: of that union with Christ and that oneness, people call
- 39:39Speaker 2: it pride. That you can dictate to a situation in
- 39:43Speaker 2: the name of Jesus, stop now. You can't know the
- 39:47Speaker 2: union and not be audacious. Amen? So he receives for
- 39:54Speaker 2: the church and he delegates to the church. You can
- 39:56Speaker 2: study John 17 when you get home. Now go back
- 39:59Speaker 2: to that Revelations 5 quickly. Revelations 5. Alright? Verse 12 now. Quickly.
- 40:08Speaker 2: Say with a loud voice, what is the lamb that
- 40:10Speaker 2: was slain? To receive what? Power. For who? The church.
- 40:14Speaker 2: To receive what? What is power? Alright? Dunamis. Dunamis. Dunamis.
- 40:20Speaker 2: Dynamic power. Wonder walking power. And what? And what? Talk
- 40:24Speaker 2: to me now. And what? It's like you like power
- 40:27Speaker 2: but you hate this one. And what? Are you aware
- 40:33Speaker 2: it's a package that makes your sojourn faster and easier?
- 40:39Speaker 2: Are you aware? Talk to me. Are you aware? That
- 40:43Speaker 2: was slain to receive power, riches and what? Wisdom. Are
- 40:48Speaker 2: you aware that wisdom can be installed you can receive
- 40:51Speaker 2: an impartation and start knowing things you didn't read. And
- 40:57Speaker 2: begin to operate at a new frequency, beyond your age.
- 41:02Speaker 2: It is through wisdom that a house is built. There
- 41:04Speaker 2: is the spirit of wisdom. The Bible says that the
- 41:08Speaker 2: wisdom that comes from above is first pure, then peaceable
- 41:11Speaker 2: and easily entreated. There is a wisdom dimension from above.
- 41:15Speaker 2: You want to write books, there is supply of inspiration.
- 41:18Speaker 2: You can't tell where it's coming from. It's given to
- 41:22Speaker 2: the church. It's a package to receive wisdom. And what? Strength.
- 41:30Speaker 2: Strength is the ability to stand. Stamina is the ability
- 41:34Speaker 2: to withstand. Okay? So you need power, but you also
- 41:39Speaker 2: need what? Strength. Enduring strength. And what? Honor. And what? Glory.
- 41:45Speaker 2: And what? Blessing. Out of all the seven things he
- 41:48Speaker 2: said here, what Abraham had was the last one, blessing.
- 41:57Speaker 2: Abrahamic blessing. Who will demonstrate power? Who will demonstrate honor?
- 42:03Speaker 2: Who will demonstrate riches? Who will demonstrate glory? Who will
- 42:07Speaker 2: demonstrate wisdom? Do you know how powerful the blessing is?
- 42:12Speaker 2: Let me show you. Psalm's 1 verse 1, amplified translation.
- 42:18Speaker 2: Psalm 1 verse 1, amplified. Are you learning something? Psalm 1,
- 42:24Speaker 2: look at it. You know, you read, blessed is the
- 42:25Speaker 2: man who does not sin. Look at the word, this
- 42:29Speaker 2: is the word blessed here. Look at what it means,
- 42:31Speaker 2: to be happy. God is not against your happiness. Christians, hello.
- 42:39Speaker 2: It will take a long time to show Christians that
- 42:42Speaker 2: God doesn't hate you being happy. Stop it. He wants
- 42:46Speaker 2: you to be happy. So I know you know there's joy.
- 42:50Speaker 2: It doesn't make happiness a crime. Hello. The same way
- 42:56Speaker 2: people believe praise and worship. Worship is deep. Worship is deeper.
- 42:59Speaker 2: Worship is deep. You see this praise is for Kana people.
- 43:01Speaker 2: Says who? Enter into his gate with thanksgiving and into
- 43:07Speaker 2: his court. That's what he says Kana. Say God wants
- 43:13Speaker 2: you to be happy. Now, if I come today now
- 43:18Speaker 2: and I say this is the key. What kind of
- 43:21Speaker 2: car do you like? Bentley. This guy. I said this
- 43:32Speaker 2: is the key of a Bentley. Will you be happy?
- 43:35Speaker 2: You should be happy. If I give it to you
- 43:38Speaker 2: and you start crying in the street, I should be shocked.
- 43:41Speaker 2: Have I done bad? Amen. Look at it. This is
- 43:45Speaker 2: what it means to be blessed, to be happy, to
- 43:47Speaker 2: be fortunate. Hello. You know, one of the biggest examples
- 43:54Speaker 2: you can tell is to tell that you're unfortunate. That's
- 43:58Speaker 2: a big deal. It's a big statement. Prosperous and enviable.
- 44:07Speaker 2: You are worthy of envy. See, many of you, you
- 44:10Speaker 2: complain about the symptoms of the blessing that all ye
- 44:13Speaker 2: haters What's your problem? You are not ready for what
- 44:17Speaker 2: you are praying for. Should you be blessed and there
- 44:20Speaker 2: won't be haters? You have what somebody wants to have
- 44:23Speaker 2: in life and you think they won't hate you. You
- 44:26Speaker 2: are where somebody wants to be and you think they
- 44:28Speaker 2: won't hate you. It is the tree that has fruit
- 44:31Speaker 2: people throw stones at. So just get used to it.
- 44:36Speaker 2: You feel what I'm saying? If you hear the name
- 44:39Speaker 2: family Lazarus, you see different things. Either of them is good.
- 44:44Speaker 2: Forget about it now. insult me from, that insult is
- 44:48Speaker 2: what will make somebody say, let me even go and
- 44:49Speaker 2: check this terrible preacher and you'll be hooked. No, to
- 44:54Speaker 2: listen to one teaching is to be hooked. I know. Alright?
- 44:58Speaker 2: But it can come through insult. I just ate that
- 45:01Speaker 2: guy called Lazarus. Am I that powerful? I'm leaving Renfrew
- 45:06Speaker 2: in your head. It's powerful. You know what I'm saying?
- 45:09Speaker 2: Let me do it so everybody can like me. Really?
- 45:13Speaker 2: You will not live a day in your life like that. happy, fortunate, prosperous,
- 45:19Speaker 2: and enviable. To be fortunate, right place, right time. The
- 45:26Speaker 2: right place, right time, right people, right circumstances, right mood.
- 45:32Speaker 2: Everything is right. Amen. This is what we have. In
- 45:42Speaker 2: the name that is above all names, you will see
- 45:44Speaker 2: all the manifestations of the blessing. Say that amen loud enough.
- 45:50Speaker 2: But do you know the balance? Now, sit down. Do
- 45:53Speaker 2: you know the balance? The balance is we don't have
- 45:56Speaker 2: this in Christ for lasciviousness. We are kingdom conscious. We
- 46:04Speaker 2: are kingdom conscious. We want to lift the hands of people.
- 46:08Speaker 2: We want to advance the gospel. Is that okay?
- 46:10Speaker 1: Okay.
- 46:11Speaker 2: We want to help as many as we can out
- 46:13Speaker 2: of the pit. We want people to come to know Jesus. See,
- 46:17Speaker 2: you don't need too much to be comfortable. You don't
- 46:20Speaker 2: need too much. That's the truth. That's the truth. You
- 46:24Speaker 2: can't drive two cars at once. Worst case, one follows
- 46:27Speaker 2: you and then somebody else is inside. You don't need
- 46:31Speaker 2: too much. How many plates of rice can you eat?
- 46:34Speaker 2: Hunger has made me to faint before.
- 46:39Speaker 3: Hunger.
- 46:42Speaker 2: I passed out. Fact. I passed out. They were carrying
- 46:48Speaker 2: me like this. Hey, carry me. I wasn't fasted, just
- 46:52Speaker 2: been broke. No food. I'm telling you, I fainted. I'm
- 46:58Speaker 2: telling you, I passed out. They were carrying me and say, hey, carp, carp, carp, hospital.
- 47:04Speaker 2: The same people who saw me broke contributed money for carp.
- 47:12Speaker 2: I sat down in that cab. I said, whatever it
- 47:19Speaker 2: will take is what it will take. This driver, you
- 47:22Speaker 2: either kill me, this money, I will eat first. I
- 47:30Speaker 2: will eat first. I said, driver, slow down, slow down. Hey, Fanta, come, come, come. You, you, come, come, come, come.
- 47:42Speaker 2: Worst case, I will hug death and dumb when we
- 47:44Speaker 2: get to the place. But this food, I was eating
- 47:47Speaker 2: and ready for problem. But God helped me. Somebody said
- 47:52Speaker 2: I should do something for him. So I said, you
- 47:54Speaker 2: have to pay my transport. So we did it. And
- 47:57Speaker 2: then the same people who saw me hungry, they were
- 47:59Speaker 2: bringing spag, fish, egg. They were injecting me every day.
- 48:09Speaker 2: I said, I was not fine. Nurses said, it's time
- 48:14Speaker 2: to discharge. You are fine, sir. I said, are you me?
- 48:16Speaker 2: I said, I'm not feeling well. I will be shaking
- 48:19Speaker 2: like this. Say, you are fine. It's time to go.
- 48:26Speaker 2: I'm not fine. Do you want me to die? I'm
- 48:28Speaker 2: going to write a petition against you guys. I'm telling you,
- 48:35Speaker 2: I didn't mind the daily injection. It doesn't matter. food
- 48:38Speaker 2: was coming, morning, afternoon, and night. So one of the
- 48:41Speaker 2: sisters now looked at me and said, Pastor, is it
- 48:45Speaker 2: the food? I said, yes. She said, okay, so what
- 48:50Speaker 2: we are going to do is that we are going
- 48:52Speaker 2: to be, we are going to have a structure for you.
- 48:56Speaker 2: So we bring in for you. I said, really? She said, yes.
- 48:58Speaker 2: I said, no, so remove this catheter, I'm done. That
- 49:02Speaker 2: was how I got this church. So when God begins
- 49:05Speaker 2: to bless you, you may want to overcompensate. And say,
- 49:09Speaker 2: I've suffered in this life. That's how you eat yourself
- 49:12Speaker 2: to mortuary. Oh yes. So the prosperity the Bible talks
- 49:17Speaker 2: about is a tool. The same way power is a tool.
- 49:22Speaker 2: And what is the tool for? For advancing the cause
- 49:25Speaker 2: of the kingdom. Okay? For advancing the cause of the kingdom.
- 49:29Speaker 2: To bring the kingdom to the earth. If somebody is
- 49:33Speaker 2: sick in the hospital and cannot afford to pay, and
- 49:36Speaker 2: I can say how much is it? We'll pay right away.
- 49:39Speaker 2: All right? I have shown the person Jesus. We have
- 49:42Speaker 2: brought the kingdom down. Is that okay now? A family
- 49:45Speaker 2: has not eaten for two weeks. They've been broke, stranded,
- 49:48Speaker 2: things are bad. And beyond saying in the name of Jesus,
- 49:50Speaker 2: be blessed. I can say, you know what? Buy a
- 49:53Speaker 2: bag of rice. Buy a bag of beans. Buy a
- 49:55Speaker 2: keg of oil. Buy this, buy that. Then take this
- 49:58Speaker 2: for money. You have brought the kingdom down. The kingdom
- 50:03Speaker 2: is not only brought down through preaching. Action goes a
- 50:06Speaker 2: long way. Is that okay now? There are people who
- 50:10Speaker 2: are too down to hear this message first. Will lift
- 50:13Speaker 2: their hands first with the kingdom. That is the purpose
- 50:16Speaker 2: of what God wants to give you. That's the purpose.
- 50:22Speaker 2: And that's why I want to tell you. In this
- 50:24Speaker 2: church we are going to do a lot of community service.
- 50:28Speaker 2: A lot of it. We are going to have a
- 50:30Speaker 2: lot of community service. Because that's the church of the
- 50:34Speaker 2: living God. We are the light of the world. Not
- 50:36Speaker 2: the light of our auditorium. We take the light to
- 50:39Speaker 2: where it is dark. If we will do our duty,
- 50:45Speaker 2: we will reduce armed robbers. Let me tell you something.
- 50:52Speaker 2: Are you aware that at certain level, you should be
- 50:55Speaker 2: able to pick up someone that you are sponsoring in school?
- 50:59Speaker 2: At least. Someone. I can't do too many people, but you,
- 51:04Speaker 2: I can hold you by the hand till you finish.
- 51:08Speaker 2: And teach the person. You to find somebody else and hold. See,
- 51:12Speaker 2: kindness is like a relay baton. When it is extended
- 51:16Speaker 2: to you, extend to another person. Don't say, I know
- 51:20Speaker 2: what we suffered. Nobody helped us to rise. We went
- 51:23Speaker 2: through all this. No, no, no, no. You to go
- 51:25Speaker 2: and suffer. No, no, no. The essence of being ahead
- 51:28Speaker 2: is to help those coming behind. It's to help them
- 51:31Speaker 2: and make life easier. God is going to strengthen you.
- 51:35Speaker 2: I say again, God is going to strengthen you. Now,
- 51:37Speaker 2: listen to this. Many of you are sitting here who
- 51:40Speaker 2: have track record of having helped people who want you dead.
- 51:43Speaker 2: God will keep rescuing you. And he will keep exposing
- 51:47Speaker 2: the plan of the wicked one. Your life will not
- 51:50Speaker 2: be cut short. I understand there are contradictions. It is
- 51:53Speaker 2: a wicked world. It is a wicked world. Give, but
- 51:58Speaker 2: with discretion. With discretion. Give with wisdom. Because there are
- 52:02Speaker 2: people who know that when you are kind, they hold
- 52:04Speaker 2: you down to it. And they will wreck you. So
- 52:07Speaker 2: give with discretion. Be smart. Be wise. Is that okay now?
- 52:10Speaker 2: To embrace kindness and not have wisdom is to go bankrupt.
- 52:15Speaker 2: You must not combine the both. Is that okay now?
- 52:17Speaker 2: Even families. Ah, yes. Go and listen to black tasks.
- 52:22Speaker 2: Very important. So I said to you that the devil
- 52:26Speaker 2: likes to sow the tares, let the wheat, let them
- 52:30Speaker 2: be together. The concept... of betting Isaac and Ishmael, or
- 52:41Speaker 2: Ishmael and Isaac as the case may be, is the
- 52:43Speaker 2: concept of betting legitimacy and illegitimacy at the same time.
- 52:49Speaker 2: It is the concept of betting the wheat and the tares.
- 52:54Speaker 2: It is the concept of self-sabotage. It is the concept
- 53:00Speaker 2: of building on one side and destroying on the other side.
- 53:05Speaker 2: It is the concept of betting a sharp contrast. Okay?
- 53:11Speaker 2: And this is exactly what the devil likes. He wants
- 53:13Speaker 2: people to bet to oppose it so that the purpose
- 53:19Speaker 2: of God will not be achieved. So I'd like to
- 53:22Speaker 2: show you a story and that's the story of a
- 53:25Speaker 2: man called Noah. Is that okay? The story of a
- 53:29Speaker 2: man called Noah. This man built an ark For several years.
- 53:35Speaker 2: What level of consecration? Several years. Kept building. Oh, God
- 53:40Speaker 2: has said it's going to rain, it's going to flood.
- 53:43Speaker 2: They've never seen rain before. Okay? But he kept building
- 53:47Speaker 2: because he heard. And he was able to save his
- 53:52Speaker 2: family and save some creatures. Powerful man. And look at
- 53:58Speaker 2: the covenant God made with him. Genesis chapter number 8 says,
- 54:06Speaker 2: Genesis chapter number 8. And God remembered Noah, I start
- 54:10Speaker 2: from verse 1, and every living thing, and all the
- 54:12Speaker 2: cattle that was with him in the ark, and God
- 54:14Speaker 2: made a wind to pass over the earth, and the
- 54:16Speaker 2: waters were assuaged. The fountains also of the deep and
- 54:20Speaker 2: the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from
- 54:24Speaker 2: heaven restrained. And the waters returned from off the earth continually,
- 54:29Speaker 2: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days,
- 54:32Speaker 2: the waters were abated. And the ark rested in the
- 54:35Speaker 2: seventh month. And on the seventh day of the seventh
- 54:38Speaker 2: month upon the mount of Ararat. And the waters decreased
- 54:43Speaker 2: continually until the ninth month. In the tenth month, on
- 54:47Speaker 2: the first day of the month, were the tops of
- 54:49Speaker 2: the mountains seen. So let's jump to powerful covenant that
- 54:56Speaker 2: God made with him. Now look at it. Go to
- 54:59Speaker 2: verse 20. And Noah built an altar unto the Lord
- 55:02Speaker 2: and took... of every clean beast and of every clean
- 55:06Speaker 2: fowl and offered burnt offering on the altar. And the
- 55:11Speaker 2: Lord smelled a sweet savor and the Lord said in
- 55:15Speaker 2: his heart, I will not again cross the ground anymore
- 55:23Speaker 2: for man's sake. For the imagination of man's heart is evil.
- 55:28Speaker 2: Neither will I again smite anymore every living thing as
- 55:33Speaker 2: I have done While the earth remaineth, seed time and harvest,
- 55:38Speaker 2: cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night shall
- 55:42Speaker 2: not what? Cease. So Noah did something that was so powerful.
- 55:47Speaker 2: And God said, I will never curse again. I'm not
- 55:51Speaker 2: going to wipe out everything again. I will not curse
- 55:53Speaker 2: the ground again. God said, I just understand now that
- 55:57Speaker 2: man is evil. From the days of his youth, his
- 55:59Speaker 2: imaginations have darkened. That was what God said. But look
- 56:03Speaker 2: at the same Noah. Look at the same Noah that
- 56:08Speaker 2: provoked such level of blessing from the Lord. Let's go
- 56:13Speaker 2: to Genesis chapter number 9. Genesis 9. Let's go to
- 56:20Speaker 2: verse 20 also. Genesis 9 verse 20 also. And Noah
- 56:26Speaker 2: began to be an husband man and he planted a vineyard.
- 56:31Speaker 2: And he drank up the wine and was drunken. And
- 56:34Speaker 2: he was uncovered within his stand that he was naked.
- 56:40Speaker 2: And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of
- 56:44Speaker 2: his father and told his two brethren without. And Shem
- 56:48Speaker 2: and Japheth took a garment and laid it upon both
- 56:51Speaker 2: their shoulders and went backwards and covered the nakedness of
- 56:55Speaker 2: their father. And their face were backward and they saw
- 56:58Speaker 2: not their father's nakedness. And Noah awoke from his wine.
- 57:02Speaker 2: And he knew what the younger son had done unto him.
- 57:05Speaker 2: And he said, Cursed be Canaan. A servant of servants
- 57:14Speaker 2: shall he be unto his brethren. On one hand, you
- 57:20Speaker 2: have cancelled courses. On the other hand, the few people
- 57:24Speaker 2: God has saved, you are the one cursing them. Does
- 57:29Speaker 2: this look like many families? The same parent that will say,
- 57:33Speaker 2: be blessed in the name of Jesus. Go forward. They
- 57:36Speaker 2: are the same one at every provocation. It shall not
- 57:39Speaker 2: be well with you. And when that thing start manifesting,
- 57:46Speaker 2: they are still the same one that were on. You
- 57:49Speaker 2: can build on one hand and destroy on the other hand.
- 57:54Speaker 2: You can. You can build on one hand and destroy
- 57:58Speaker 2: on the other hand. He said, curse me, Canaan. What
- 58:02Speaker 2: did he do? He saw the nakedness. He was the
- 58:06Speaker 2: last one. And he went to call the other ones. Alright?
- 58:10Speaker 2: And those ones knew what to do. And what happened?
- 58:12Speaker 2: Those ones went backward. And then they covered the father's nakedness. Okay?
- 58:18Speaker 2: And you could warn him. You could tell him that
- 58:21Speaker 2: this is how things are supposed to be done. He
- 58:25Speaker 2: just cursed him. And usually the devil moves you to
- 58:29Speaker 2: curse the child with the greatest potential. Usually. How can
- 58:38Speaker 2: you be the one who just brought the kindness of God?
- 58:40Speaker 2: Read the verses before. There was a sign of rainbow.
- 58:43Speaker 2: It was a sign of covenant. God has just said this.
- 58:51Speaker 2: The devil wants us to bear sharp contrast. You build.
- 58:55Speaker 2: Keep building. Keep building. But you will also destroy it
- 58:58Speaker 2: with your hands. You can build trust for all the years.
- 59:04Speaker 2: And just one thing can destroy it for life. No years.
- 59:09Speaker 2: And that's why you must... be careful while man sleeps.
- 59:15Speaker 2: You know, I was going to show you the implication
- 59:18Speaker 2: of the enemy came and so it is. Then went
- 59:25Speaker 2: his way. What that means is What I have sown
- 59:32Speaker 2: is as effective as me being here. I don't have
- 59:36Speaker 2: to be here. You see, many times you are rebuking
- 59:39Speaker 2: the devil where he's not. You must understand that the
- 59:42Speaker 2: devil is not omnipresent. He's not everywhere at every time.
- 59:47Speaker 2: So a being like that, who needs to influence everyone,
- 59:50Speaker 2: will only have to be strategic. It is not only
- 59:53Speaker 2: God who rests there. The devil is also at rest.
- 59:57Speaker 2: What is the rest? The rest is what you have
- 1:00:00Speaker 2: when you have structures at work. Let me tell you something.
- 1:00:09Speaker 2: We are about to open an online automated school of ministry.
- 1:00:18Speaker 2: Study management in ministry, administration in ministry. You can start
- 1:00:23Speaker 2: yourself from start to finish and get certified. We are
- 1:00:28Speaker 2: working on affiliations with some powerful institutions. It's automated. It
- 1:00:35Speaker 2: means that I can be sleeping but at the same
- 1:00:39Speaker 2: time I'm teaching. The power of technology is that it
- 1:00:45Speaker 2: doesn't matter what time is it in a day. I
- 1:00:48Speaker 2: am preaching a message. Somebody somewhere is hearing what I preached.
- 1:00:51Speaker 2: Is that seeing a video or hearing an audio or
- 1:00:55Speaker 2: reading a book?
- 1:00:55Speaker 3: Something.
- 1:00:55Speaker 2: Something. Once, are you with me? If you are going
- 1:01:03Speaker 2: to live beyond your days, put your essence in what
- 1:01:07Speaker 2: is timeless. I have thousands of messages online. Thousands. I
- 1:01:13Speaker 2: have over 2,000 unreleased messages. 2,000 that we have checked.
- 1:01:18Speaker 2: These ones are to be private. These ones for this
- 1:01:20Speaker 2: class of people. This one for this. The devil can
- 1:01:25Speaker 2: sow something in a family I know he has rest.
- 1:01:31Speaker 2: If I throw a bomb here, do I have to
- 1:01:36Speaker 2: wait around to try to explode the bomb? It will
- 1:01:39Speaker 2: explode by itself. It's just a matter of when. The timer. Okay?
- 1:01:44Speaker 2: Just set the timer. 30 seconds. And make sure within
- 1:01:48Speaker 2: that 30 seconds you run as far as you can.
- 1:01:51Speaker 2: That's how powerful some thoughts are. Some thoughts are time bombs.
- 1:01:54Speaker 2: They've been sown. Okay, if this guy should embrace this
- 1:01:57Speaker 2: without check, he may stand and do like he's doing something.
- 1:02:00Speaker 2: In max three years, it will catch up with him.
- 1:02:04Speaker 2: And he will just run. Before you know it, he doesn't.
- 1:02:07Speaker 2: Where do you think Elijah started talking from? That am
- 1:02:10Speaker 2: I better than my forefathers? That thing was there now.
- 1:02:13Speaker 2: Jezebel only brought it out. Problems will reveal what is
- 1:02:18Speaker 2: hidden inside that you did not know. Yeah. Yeah. It
- 1:02:23Speaker 2: will become your dominant consciousness. Are you with me? The
- 1:02:27Speaker 2: devil sowed the seed and went his ways. It's enough.
- 1:02:30Speaker 2: Don't worry. What to deal with it is there. Sometimes
- 1:02:34Speaker 2: just a mindset. Sow it in the home and it
- 1:02:37Speaker 2: will go its way. You are rebuking the devil. Devil,
- 1:02:41Speaker 2: go out of our house. Wrong prayer. You fight seeds
- 1:02:48Speaker 2: with seeds. You see, the seed of life is not thought.
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: No.
- 1:03:03Speaker 2: Words create thought. So if I, for instance, say that
- 1:03:10Speaker 2: tonight I'm going to order for grilled jumbo prawns for
- 1:03:20Speaker 2: you with some garlics and french fries, plantain, grilled fish,
- 1:03:31Speaker 2: some pepper. If you are doing dry fasting, apologies. Nice
- 1:03:37Speaker 2: sauce and all those things. What happens is that I'm
- 1:03:40Speaker 2: creating an image in your mind. If your mind is healthy,
- 1:03:44Speaker 2: you should start seeing it. So it means no thoughts
- 1:03:49Speaker 2: came there without a word. Hello. Hello. That's why when
- 1:03:55Speaker 2: Adam said we are hiding because we are naked, God said,
- 1:03:58Speaker 2: who told you? Everything you believe you heard. Everything. Everything.
- 1:04:07Speaker 2: So how then do you deal with the root? Here's something.
- 1:04:11Speaker 2: What we are teaching now is going to the root.
- 1:04:17Speaker 2: Going to the root. That's why you see when you
- 1:04:19Speaker 2: follow morning prayers, there are things I'm insisting on every day.
- 1:04:22Speaker 2: Every day. Every day. Because I know the devil is
- 1:04:25Speaker 2: attacking the minds of people. Till you cannot see anything
- 1:04:30Speaker 2: beyond it. Yes. Even with a gun on your head.
- 1:04:35Speaker 2: Somebody with a gun says, I cannot die. I cannot die.
- 1:04:42Speaker 2: Let's assume you just die. Even in the realm of assumption,
- 1:04:46Speaker 2: I cannot die. Insist. Because soon, you will begin to
- 1:04:52Speaker 2: believe that maybe God has made your own life short. Insist.
- 1:05:01Speaker 2: Are you learning something? Please look up. Let me take three,
- 1:05:11Speaker 2: four minutes to show something very important. Look at the
- 1:05:21Speaker 2: pattern from Abraham To Isaac. Isaac to Esau and Jacob.
- 1:05:27Speaker 2: Jacob to 12 children. Must at least one be cursed.
- 1:05:33Speaker 2: Was that God? Ishmael was a child of contradiction. Jacob
- 1:05:39Speaker 2: became a child of contradiction. Reuben again, cursed. Simeon and Levi, cursed.
- 1:05:46Speaker 2: Must it happen? Can't everyone be blessed? Blessed. Reuben had
- 1:05:56Speaker 2: done something bad. The father said that you will not excel.
- 1:06:01Speaker 2: And he cursed him. And he went on for generations.
- 1:06:06Speaker 2: Till Moses came. And said Reuben. Let Reuben live. Let
- 1:06:10Speaker 2: him not die. Let his men not be few. Let
- 1:06:15Speaker 2: me say this today. If there is anyone here. That
- 1:06:22Speaker 2: someone very powerful. Cursed you. I stand in my place
- 1:06:27Speaker 2: as a prophet. That the curse is reversed. If you
- 1:06:34Speaker 2: are here, you have a conscience. Somebody wants to give
- 1:06:37Speaker 2: a negative pronouncement into your life. And it doesn't seem
- 1:06:41Speaker 2: to be going away. If you belong to that category,
- 1:06:45Speaker 2: it's been on your mind. It's been on your mind.
- 1:06:47Speaker 2: And the rest, sit down. If you belong, just be
- 1:06:49Speaker 2: the one standing. Somebody gave a negative pronouncement and for
- 1:06:53Speaker 2: a while it's been on your mind. It's not going away.
- 1:06:57Speaker 2: It's not going away. Yes. I reverse it today. Please,
- 1:07:03Speaker 2: I want the pastors to help me. Please come. Please
- 1:07:05Speaker 2: stand here. I'm going to lay hands on everyone. I
- 1:07:08Speaker 2: don't do this all the time. I don't just lay
- 1:07:10Speaker 2: hands on people. If you don't mind, please go on
- 1:07:12Speaker 2: your knees. Once I lay hands on you, I command
- 1:07:15Speaker 2: it to be reversed. You must live here with a
- 1:07:17Speaker 2: new consciousness. Is that okay? Pastor Mimi, please come join me.
- 1:07:21Speaker 2: We live here with a new consciousness. Anyone, the power
- 1:07:25Speaker 2: of God will rest on them. Just take them back
- 1:07:27Speaker 2: as quickly as you can. Alright? Wherever you are today,
- 1:07:31Speaker 2: marks the end of the curse. Once I lay hands
- 1:07:34Speaker 2: on you, please get up and go back with a
- 1:07:36Speaker 2: new awareness. Yes. In the name of Jesus. Cancel the curses.
- 1:07:43Speaker 2: Cancel the curses. Hold him. I cancel it in the
- 1:07:45Speaker 2: name of Jesus. I cancel it in the name of Jesus.

- 1:08:28Speaker 2: Every negative remark. Every negative words. Today marks an end.

- 1:09:53Speaker 2: the blood. In the name of Jesus. Please come forward.

- 1:10:04Speaker 2: cancel them in the name of Jesus. I cancel the words.

- 1:10:41Speaker 2: is it that says a thing when God has not
- 1:10:43Speaker 2: said it? Cancel the curses. Cancel the vickers. Cancel the vickers.
- 1:10:50Speaker 2: I cancel the vickers. I cancel the vickers. It doesn't

- 1:11:20Speaker 2: those pronouncements. The siege is over.

- 1:12:06Speaker 2: It is over. It is over. It is over. It
- 1:12:09Speaker 2: is over. In the name of Jesus. The siege is over.
- 1:12:16Speaker 2: The siege is over. Now in the name of Jesus.
- 1:12:19Speaker 2: Cancel the curses. In the name of Jesus. Cancel the curses.
- 1:12:27Speaker 2: Everyone connected online. Now you can open it up. And
- 1:12:31Speaker 2: has been placed under wrong pronouncement and curses. In anyone's
- 1:12:35Speaker 2: moment of anger. I stand here representing the Lord. In
- 1:12:40Speaker 2: the name of Jesus Christ. You are brought out of
- 1:12:44Speaker 2: it now. And Moses stood. And he called Reuben. And
- 1:12:50Speaker 2: he said let Reuben leave. And let him not die.
- 1:12:53Speaker 2: Let his men not be few. I speak the same
- 1:12:57Speaker 2: word to you. Live and not die. And your men
- 1:13:01Speaker 2: will not be few. Now hear me. You will effortlessly
- 1:13:06Speaker 2: break every negative contradiction. I don't care how long it's been.
- 1:13:15Speaker 2: Every pattern of wrong issues, contradictions. I stretch my hands
- 1:13:22Speaker 2: to you now.
- 1:13:22Speaker 3: It is broken. It is broken. It is broken. It
- 1:13:32Speaker 3: is broken.
- 1:13:35Speaker 2: In the name of Jesus. Say loud and clear. I
- 1:13:38Speaker 2: am blessed. I am not cursed. I am blessed. Let's
- 1:13:46Speaker 2: give Jesus a big hand. Please sit down for a
- 1:13:52Speaker 2: while as I round up. So you look at a
- 1:13:57Speaker 2: man like Noah. My God. All there was to humanity
- 1:14:02Speaker 2: was saved because of your obedience. And the first curse
- 1:14:05Speaker 2: coming from you again. Just after a short while. Self-sabotage.
- 1:14:10Speaker 2: That's the devil's aim. That's his idea. That's his agenda.
- 1:14:13Speaker 2: That's what he likes. Amen. You know, while I was
- 1:14:18Speaker 2: praying towards this, I remembered on campus. people, that it
- 1:14:24Speaker 2: was obvious God was going to do mighty things through them.
- 1:14:27Speaker 2: It was obvious. You could see it. The signs were there.
- 1:14:32Speaker 2: But sometimes you just observed that one thing or the
- 1:14:35Speaker 2: other stopped them. One thing or the other stopped them.
- 1:14:38Speaker 2: Somebody has gone to put his hand into something. And
- 1:14:42Speaker 2: the devil was waiting right there. Somebody has gone to
- 1:14:45Speaker 2: embrace what he should not embrace. Somebody is now doing
- 1:14:48Speaker 2: what he should not do. Somebody is now... Sometimes there's
- 1:14:51Speaker 2: so much grace, but plus the grace, there's laziness. The
- 1:14:55Speaker 2: person can't read, can't study, can't prepare according to the
- 1:14:59Speaker 2: level of the grace. Are you aware you should pay
- 1:15:01Speaker 2: the price that your life requires to come out? There's
- 1:15:03Speaker 2: a price to pay. Because laziness is first in the mind. Yes.
- 1:15:10Speaker 2: The inability to think fast, to move fast, to do
- 1:15:14Speaker 2: things well, to do things the best way they should
- 1:15:16Speaker 2: be done. It limits and cuts life short. Laziness with prayer.
- 1:15:21Speaker 2: Laziness with study. Laziness with fasting. Before you know it,
- 1:15:25Speaker 2: when you have trouble, you pray. It's a lie. What
- 1:15:28Speaker 2: you have not learned, you will not do it even
- 1:15:30Speaker 2: when there's trouble. You learn it. You pray when you
- 1:15:34Speaker 2: should pray. We pray every morning. You know you have
- 1:15:37Speaker 2: issue with prayer. Start from there. I don't care if
- 1:15:41Speaker 2: people say, all this money, prayer is not for you.
- 1:15:43Speaker 2: Are you praying? Prayer can be wrong. Start from there.
- 1:15:46Speaker 2: Learn it. Okay, and then call somebody who you know
- 1:15:50Speaker 2: knows how to pray. Join me. Start from one hour
- 1:15:53Speaker 2: or 30 minutes. Let's pray together. Is that okay now?
- 1:15:57Speaker 2: Make sure that you don't just have beautiful promises. Also
- 1:16:01Speaker 2: understand the spiritual rules and laws that can bring them out.
- 1:16:05Speaker 2: Let me say this to you. Not all sons rise.
- 1:16:08Speaker 2: And when some rise, not all stay their time. Sons
- 1:16:13Speaker 2: set in a hurry. People are shut down. We're in
- 1:16:15Speaker 2: a very wicked world. And I can tell you on
- 1:16:18Speaker 2: all authority, it is survival of the fittest. You have
- 1:16:22Speaker 2: to wake up and smell the coffee. You have to
- 1:16:24Speaker 2: wake up and smell the coffee. You have to understand
- 1:16:26Speaker 2: the rules, the principle. There are principles you can't throw aside.
- 1:16:31Speaker 2: You can't desire that future and ignore this one. Is
- 1:16:35Speaker 2: that okay now? If not, the devil will sow the seed.
- 1:16:37Speaker 2: Then he will go his way. Then you wonder, how
- 1:16:39Speaker 2: can this person be this gifted? But this person is
- 1:16:42Speaker 2: this small. How can this person be this powerful? But
- 1:16:45Speaker 2: this person is this small. Oh yes. Yes. Sometimes our
- 1:16:49Speaker 2: inability to adjust and catch the things that are needed.
- 1:16:55Speaker 2: So many times when I teach in this direction, I
- 1:17:00Speaker 2: become teary. Because I remember on campus, I beg people,
- 1:17:03Speaker 2: it's just three days fasting. You are not going to die.
- 1:17:06Speaker 2: It's just three days. Take water. Let's do three days.
- 1:17:10Speaker 2: Many of us were coming from places that people don't
- 1:17:15Speaker 2: really rise. And that's the truth. It is possible that
- 1:17:19Speaker 2: there are people here who have been traveling out of
- 1:17:21Speaker 2: the country since they were born. My children would not
- 1:17:25Speaker 2: have to go through some things I've gone through. My
- 1:17:28Speaker 2: first time on a plane, I went to check it
- 1:17:29Speaker 2: on YouTube. First time experience on a plane. And when
- 1:17:33Speaker 2: the thing was going up, I did like this. People
- 1:17:35Speaker 2: could know that something is wrong with this guy. I
- 1:17:38Speaker 2: was holding myself. I was almost crying. Because I wasn't
- 1:17:42Speaker 2: born to experience it. You see that now. My first
- 1:17:45Speaker 2: time of stepping my feet in any European country. I said,
- 1:17:49Speaker 2: am I here? I broke it. I broke the siege.
- 1:17:52Speaker 2: I broke it. I broke it. Now, orders come. There
- 1:17:55Speaker 2: is nothing as sweet as that. It is not about
- 1:17:57Speaker 2: the nation. It is about removing the siege. And it
- 1:18:00Speaker 2: takes paying certain price. Don't ignore it. We are not
- 1:18:05Speaker 2: all born from the same place. What means the world
- 1:18:08Speaker 2: to you may mean nothing to someone else. Make it
- 1:18:11Speaker 2: mean the world to you and break it first. Pay
- 1:18:14Speaker 2: the price. Pay the price. The price of consistency in prayer,
- 1:18:19Speaker 2: in fasting. Pay the price. Don't carry this much destiny
- 1:18:24Speaker 2: and this much attention. And you are wondering, this person,
- 1:18:30Speaker 2: there's so much, the potentials are there, but he's not
- 1:18:32Speaker 2: reading books. He's not developing himself. He's not growing. He's
- 1:18:38Speaker 2: not doing the things he should do. What's your plan?
- 1:18:42Speaker 2: What's your plan? Understand the rules. Understand the principles. Pay
- 1:18:47Speaker 2: the price. You can't do life. meaningfully without human relationships.
- 1:18:52Speaker 2: Learn it. Learn the art. Learn the science. Embracing people.
- 1:18:57Speaker 2: Seeing beyond weaknesses. Seeing beyond limitations. Embracing them in their
- 1:19:01Speaker 2: lowest moments. Being there with people. Being there for people. Humility. Graciousness.
- 1:19:06Speaker 2: Embrace it. Embrace it. Don't joke with the gifts of men.
- 1:19:12Speaker 2: Don't joke with the gifts of men. Pray. Pray for yourself.
- 1:19:18Speaker 2: I have this with mama's prayer got me going. Mama
- 1:19:21Speaker 2: is in trouble herself. Pray for yourself. Oh yes. My
- 1:19:25Speaker 2: mama's prayer keep me going. That's why I love my mama.
- 1:19:28Speaker 2: You are in your 30s. You are in your 30s.
- 1:19:32Speaker 2: Some of you are in your 40s. Why will your
- 1:19:34Speaker 2: prayer keep mama going? Mama is getting old. She's not
- 1:19:38Speaker 2: eating the fruit of her labor. Oh yes. Oh yes.
- 1:19:40Speaker 2: She needs to eat the food of her neighbor. Yes. Pray. Pray, sir.
- 1:19:46Speaker 2: Tell your neighbor, pray. Call upon the Lord while he
- 1:19:49Speaker 2: is near. Seek him while he may be found. Pray. See, see.
- 1:19:56Speaker 2: Let me tell you. Let me tell you. You have
- 1:20:00Speaker 2: seen a man that grace lifted. But prayer saved my
- 1:20:04Speaker 2: life many times over.
- 1:20:09Speaker 3: Prayer.
- 1:20:09Speaker 2: You pray like a madman. Don't open this door till
- 1:20:16Speaker 2: I've broken through. Huh? I have friends in my life
- 1:20:27Speaker 2: that are in a mode of greatness. Let's do one hour.
- 1:20:30Speaker 2: We see each other. Let's do one hour. One hour
- 1:20:32Speaker 2: has passed. Huh? Sharp, sharp. What a relationship to keep.
- 1:20:43Speaker 2: What a relationship to keep. Pray. The future that looks promising,
- 1:20:48Speaker 2: the devil is going to sow something there. Pray ahead.
- 1:20:51Speaker 2: Every junction is waiting. I will put it. Every area,
- 1:20:54Speaker 2: I will put it. At the area of marriage, at
- 1:20:57Speaker 2: the area of childbirth, at the area of this, get
- 1:20:59Speaker 2: out of the way. Put out. Pull down. Pray for yourself.
- 1:21:04Speaker 2: It is a wicked world. It needs no announcement. Pray, sir.
- 1:21:10Speaker 2: Pray about your health. Pray about your life. Pray for
- 1:21:14Speaker 2: your children. Lay hands on them. Perform. Make children get
- 1:21:17Speaker 2: initiated in school. Oh, yes. Some of them are too
- 1:21:19Speaker 2: young to say no. I cover you with the blood
- 1:21:22Speaker 2: of Jesus. Go forth with fire. Everywhere you step, the
- 1:21:25Speaker 2: glory of God follows you there. Be the priest in
- 1:21:27Speaker 2: your home. Be the priest. Be the priest. I'm not
- 1:21:32Speaker 2: one to give spooky things and just, you know, make
- 1:21:35Speaker 2: people paranoid and all that. But I can tell you,
- 1:21:36Speaker 2: it's a wicked world. I wish you can just believe
- 1:21:39Speaker 2: everything as they are. But it's not true. It's not true.
- 1:21:42Speaker 2: I've had cases where somebody said, this, this, this, this.
- 1:21:45Speaker 2: God said, this person, don't let me even go into it.
- 1:21:50Speaker 2: Are you aware that people, once they step their feet
- 1:21:52Speaker 2: to your house, it will take seven years to break it. Look,
- 1:21:57Speaker 2: there are things that God will say, don't worry, I'm
- 1:21:59Speaker 2: with you. There are ones he will say, don't allow.
- 1:22:01Speaker 2: Are you with me? There are ones he will say,
- 1:22:10Speaker 2: don't allow. You only have one life. So you don't
- 1:22:19Speaker 2: want to be regretting on your deathbed. Win. Insist on winning.
- 1:22:24Speaker 2: Why should you be defeated? Why should they cut you off?
- 1:22:27Speaker 2: Insist on winning. So that you will not have powerful
- 1:22:33Speaker 2: potential but a limiting factor. Powerful promises but something cutting
- 1:22:39Speaker 2: it down. powerful giftings, but the character defect. It won't
- 1:22:43Speaker 2: be your portion. It won't be your portion. So I
- 1:22:46Speaker 2: stretch my hands towards all of you. And what I
- 1:22:50Speaker 2: want to pray for you for is help. That God
- 1:22:55Speaker 2: himself will help you. That you will not just carry
- 1:23:01Speaker 2: these promises. Every part that you need to play for
- 1:23:05Speaker 2: them to come to maturity. It will give you the
- 1:23:09Speaker 2: grace to play your own part. The amen is not
- 1:23:12Speaker 2: so powerful. The part you need to play in prayer.
- 1:23:19Speaker 2: The part you need to play in fasting. The part
- 1:23:22Speaker 2: you need to play in consecration. The part you need
- 1:23:25Speaker 2: to play in living the sacrificial life. Receive the grace
- 1:23:28Speaker 2: to do your part. If there's any aspect of your
- 1:23:33Speaker 2: life that has hindered the fulfillment of God's blessings. Maybe
- 1:23:38Speaker 2: a character defect. Maybe something. I pray that God himself
- 1:23:43Speaker 2: will help you. He will give you men that will
- 1:23:47Speaker 2: also help you. He will give you the grace to
- 1:23:51Speaker 2: see it, to recognize it, and he will help you
- 1:23:55Speaker 2: to deal with it. In the name of Jesus Christ,
- 1:23:59Speaker 2: you will not become the man that almost got there.
- 1:24:04Speaker 2: You will not become the woman that almost became there.
- 1:24:07Speaker 2: In the name of Jesus. Where no one has stepped.
- 1:24:12Speaker 2: In your lineage. Where no one has crossed. Where no
- 1:24:15Speaker 2: one has gotten to. You will get there. You will
- 1:24:19Speaker 2: pass those places. You will get there. You will pass
- 1:24:23Speaker 2: those places. You will break the limitations. You will break
- 1:24:27Speaker 2: the boundaries. You will remove the limitations. You will remove
- 1:24:31Speaker 2: the siege. In the name of Jesus. You are an overcomer.
- 1:24:39Speaker 2: You are a winner. You will win. In the name
- 1:24:43Speaker 2: of Jesus. From the depth of my heart I bless you.
- 1:24:48Speaker 2: You are not cursed. You are blessed. In the name
- 1:24:52Speaker 2: of Jesus. Now hear this. What God has intended to
- 1:24:56Speaker 2: do with your life. What God has intended to do
- 1:25:00Speaker 2: for you. No devil will manipulate it. No devil will
- 1:25:06Speaker 2: stop it. For those who are still single, your hands
- 1:25:11Speaker 2: will not be wrongly joined in marriage. You will not
- 1:25:16Speaker 2: marry contradictions. In the name of Jesus. You are blessed.
- 1:25:23Speaker 2: Irrevocably blessed. Irreversibly blessed. It is done. In Jesus' mighty name.
- 1:25:33Speaker 2: Let's give Jesus a big, big, big hand. Have you
- 1:25:38Speaker 2: been blessed tonight? Why not let's celebrate Jesus more, more,
- 1:25:42Speaker 2: and more, and more. Amen. Now be seated. No devil
- 1:25:51Speaker 2: will pluck any one of you off. I can tell
- 1:25:55Speaker 2: you that you can be sure you have a pastor
- 1:25:56Speaker 2: that is praying for you. No devil. They've not born
- 1:26:00Speaker 2: the devil. They've not born the devil. It doesn't matter
- 1:26:05Speaker 2: what the hostilities are. You will come out on hot.
- 1:26:09Speaker 2: In the name of Jesus.
