South Africa, give Jesus a big hand clap.
0:10
Amen. I'm truly, truly honored to be
0:16
here again. Hallelujah.
0:20
And Apostle Felix, thank you. Thank you and your dear wife.
0:26
May the Lord honor you in the name of Jesus.
0:30
And how many of you were blessed by minister doing saying
0:33
goodness, goodness, goodness, Hallelujah.
0:38
Let me stand on the existing protocol for the sake of our
0:41
time. Our time is fast spent.
0:43
I just want to introduce my session tonight and then we pray
0:48
when the glory comes there will be no words to say.
1:04
When the glory comes, there will be no words to say.
1:18
May the Lord change someone in a radical way tonight.
1:22
May the Lord give you an extraordinary encounter tonight.
1:27
In Jesus name we pray please you may be seated Reverend Ikes and
1:34
honor again to see you Sir. God bless you.
1:37
Hallelujah. Please be seated forsake of
1:40
time. I want to introduce my session.
1:45
I want to believe that it's been awesome session so far.
1:50
I know that God has prepared His vessels and they have brought
1:55
different dimensions of His grace and His Word to us.
2:01
And let me request that even though we have stretched in
2:05
prayer, in worship, just pay attention for the next few
2:09
minutes and let's trust God to establish a few things.
2:14
I came with an assignment and I want to walk along the lines of
2:21
your team. It's been a strong burden in my
2:24
heart. I'm hoping that we will learn
2:27
how to birth the prophetic. I want to show you in hopefully
2:34
A2 part series that I captured the travail.
2:39
I will be showing you by the word of God, how prophetic
2:42
seasons are birthed, how the glory is made manifest and is
2:48
made visible. How realities and results are
2:55
produced in the lives of believers.
2:57
And Father, we pray in the name of Jesus that the entrance of
3:00
Your Word will give us light. Let it give us understanding.
3:05
Second Corinthians chapter 4 and verse 17.
3:09
Second Corinthians 4 and verse 17 For our light affliction,
3:17
which is but for a moment walketh for us a far more
3:22
exceeding and eternal weight of glory.
3:26
Verse 18 while we look not at the things which are seen, but
3:30
the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen
3:34
are temporal, but the things which are seen are eternal.
3:40
Hallelujah, praise the name of the Lord.
3:46
Most believers know that God desires His glory to be revealed
3:53
in and through our lives. And every once in a while we
3:57
find believers who have aligned with God and have walked in
4:01
keeping with His principles as far as the revelation of His
4:04
glory is concerned. And we behold with admiration
4:07
the beauty that we see in their lives, whether it's manifested
4:11
as wisdom, whether it's manifested as wealth, whether
4:15
it's manifested as influence, manifested as supernatural
4:18
power, it doesn't matter what dimension of glory, it's a
4:22
spectacular sight to behold. The glory of God revealed,
4:26
manifest through a man Hallelujah.
4:29
The Bible says God desires that the knowledge of that glory will
4:32
cover the earth as what as the sea.
4:35
When you meet a man who is genuinely wise by the Spirit, it
4:40
is a spectacular sights to behold.
4:42
When you meet a man who is a custodian of true spiritual
4:46
power by the Spirit, it's a spectacular sight to behold.
4:50
When you meet a man who has access the blessings of the Lord
4:53
genuinely with integrity and its manifest, it's a spectacular
4:57
sight. When you see extraordinary
5:00
illumination, spiritual understanding, it's a
5:03
spectacular sight. Are we together?
5:05
When you see any dimension of the glory of God manifest in and
5:10
through the Saints? The Bible says the Word became
5:13
flesh, became flesh. Then it dwelt among us.
5:19
Then it says we beheld, we beheld his glory even as of the
5:23
Father, full of grace and truth. So I'm establishing as a
5:28
foundation that is a spectacular sight to see the glory of God
5:33
revealed in and through a man. And I don't want to take for
5:36
granted that we understand thoroughly the concept of glory.
5:39
So allow me just give you a definition of what the glory of
5:42
God is. The glory of God is an
5:46
expression of any and every dimension of Him.
5:51
Any is called his glory, His wisdom, His goodness, his favor,
5:56
His power, His intelligence, every component that makes God,
6:01
God. When any dimension of that
6:03
component finds expression, it is called glory.
6:06
Hallelujah. Praise the name of the Lord.
6:09
Yeah. So when we talk about the glory
6:11
of God, we are attempting to describe the multifaceted
6:14
dimensions that are in God, that seek to find expression.
6:19
And every time the glory of God is revealed to a vessel, God is
6:24
glorified. Are we learning?
6:27
Now? This is very important.
6:29
In Matthew chapter 5 from verse 13 to 16, Jesus is teaching and
6:33
He says you are the salt of the earth, and that if the salt has
6:36
lost its server, wherewith shall it be salted again, it is stands
6:39
for good for nothing except to be trampled on the foot of men,
6:44
to be thrown and trampled on the foot.
6:46
Then verse 14 he says you are the light of the world.
6:49
He says you are a city that is set on a hill that cannot be
6:52
hidden. Neither do men light a lamp and
6:56
put it under a bushel, but that they put it on a lamp stand a
7:00
Candlestick, and with that it gives light to everyone in the
7:04
room. But 16 now says, Let your light.
7:06
The word let means permit, Do not restrict, do not restrain.
7:11
Let your light so shine before men, that the men may see.
7:17
They will not see light. They will call it good walks and
7:21
the Bible says they will glorify your Father and you want to
7:25
understand good works, you have to go to Ephesians chapter 2 and
7:29
verse 10. He says, for we are his
7:31
workmanship, created in Christ Jesus onto good works,
7:37
manifestations of His glory which God had preordained that
7:42
we should work in them. Hallelujah.
7:45
So God is glorified not just when we desire to have Him
7:49
glorified. He's glorified when any and
7:53
every expression of his glory is safely trapped in a man and
7:58
revealed to our world. Who understands me so far?
8:00
So our assignment really is not just to be churchgoers, not just
8:06
to be singers and preachers. All of those are vehicles that
8:10
should lead us to a point where as a perpetual practice, our
8:14
lives become a non ending revelation of the multifaceted
8:19
dimensions of God's glory, whether it's his wisdom, whether
8:22
it's his goodness. The reason why we celebrate
8:24
testimonies is because captured in those testimonies, at one
8:29
point in that discussion, the glory of God was revealed.
8:33
Are we together now? Yes.
8:35
When you see success is a dimension of the glory of God
8:38
revealed. That's why it brings joy when
8:41
you see healing, it's a manifestation of the glory of
8:44
God revealed. Everybody said the glory
8:46
revealed. Say the glory manifest one more
8:50
time. Say the glory revealed.
8:52
Say the glory manifest. Every single prayer point you
8:57
bring before God is your heart seeking to see a dimension of
9:01
His glory revealed. What you call answered prayer is
9:05
the final arrival of the glory of God manifested in the life of
9:09
a person. We call it answered prayer.
9:12
What is really a dimension of God's glory?
9:14
If it's a job, it's faithful working.
9:17
Is the glory of God revealed? Are we together now if it's
9:21
healing is a manifestation of the glory of God and God
9:25
deserves to be glorified on earth and the way He gets glory
9:29
is when the sins allow His glory to be revealed through them.
9:34
Creation will never truly honor the invisible God until the
9:38
Saints who represent Him on the standard technology of first
9:42
trapping, then revealing His glory.
9:46
When you hear a great song, you know the reason why it plays to
9:50
the cords of your spirit. Whether you are born again or
9:52
not. You cannot deny the melody
9:54
because it came from a realm that is not earthly.
9:57
It's captured within it the glory of God.
10:00
When you see intelligence, even if the communicator of that
10:04
intelligence does not acknowledge God as the giver,
10:07
because it is the manifestation of God's glory, it is
10:10
spectacular and you cannot deny it.
10:13
When you see intelligence, whether in science, technology,
10:17
Hallelujah, they are all channels that reveal the glory
10:20
of God. So it's important for us to have
10:23
this as a foundation so that we will really understand this
10:25
topic, that the whole idea of travelling is not just to birth
10:29
what we want, it is to birth. The glory is to birth.
10:33
The prophetic travail is a capture of the spiritual
10:37
technology allotted for revealing the glory of God.
10:41
Are we together? So the one who needs to even
10:44
discuss this topic must be one who has settled it, that my life
10:48
will be about the revelation of God's glory.
10:51
If your life is not about the revelation of God's glory, then
10:54
this topic will not bless you. Are we learning?
10:59
It's important for us to have this foundation?
11:01
So whilst you watch, for instance, Minister Dunsin as he
11:04
led us through worship, the creativity, the intelligence is
11:08
beyond music. Is the glory of God revealed?
11:11
Are we together? Excellence.
11:14
Is the glory of God revealed? Creativity.
11:17
Is the glory of God revealed? Technology is the glory of God
11:21
revealed? Largely from people who will not
11:24
acknowledge Him as the giver, but it is still the glory of
11:27
God. Music.
11:28
Art is the glory of God. Do you know what it means to
11:31
look at someone and turn to a paper and replicate what you are
11:35
seeing? It's the glory of God.
11:39
Are we together now? So it says let your light so
11:42
shine before men. Remember it says arise shine for
11:45
your light has come and the glory everywhere you see light,
11:49
it is connected to glory. Your light has come and the
11:53
glory of God is being revealed. Praise the name of the Lord.
11:58
Very subtle but very important foundation that the whole idea
12:02
and the whole subject of travail and I'll talk a bit about that,
12:07
is to see to it that through my life, through your life, the
12:11
glory of God in all its ramifications, as many as your
12:16
life can capture. Are we together now?
12:19
Yes, that is revealed to your world, is revealed to South
12:23
Africa. Whoever is able to do that is
12:26
bringing glory to God because the way God is glorified is that
12:31
He invests His glory in the Saints and then He mandates them
12:35
to reveal it to their war. John 17 and verse 1, He lifted
12:39
up his eyes to heaven and he said, Father, the hour is come.
12:42
He says glorified thy sun, that thy sun may bring you glory.
12:47
We call it the reflection principle.
12:50
The moon does not have the light of its own, but if it can align
12:53
well with the sun and to the degree to which it is aligned
12:56
with the sun, it will capture the light that comes from the
12:59
sun and reveal it to the earth. If the moon is misaligned, it
13:05
will. The only part of the moon that
13:07
shines is the part that is aligned to the sun.
13:11
If it goes in disalignment, it will create an image that was
13:14
not the intention of the sun. Are we together now?
13:18
Praise the name of the Lord. So this is very important.
13:20
Now let's talk about Travail for this night.
13:28
Just to do my introduction. I hope we're learning so far.
13:33
So the word travail from Bible language is it represents the
13:40
entire constraints, the entire disciplines, the entire
13:45
sacrifices and ordinances that are required to birth the glory
13:51
of God and to manifest it in the life of a believer.
13:54
I'll take that again. Please listen.
13:55
When we mention the word travail, I don't want you to see
13:59
it abstract or to see the way the world thinks, because the
14:03
world's idea of travail talks about pain that is on to loss.
14:07
Are we together now? The world's idea of travail does
14:11
not point victory. It's proof of defeat.
14:14
It's proof of ignorance. So when we use terms, it's
14:17
important we give them a Bible definition so that those who are
14:21
listening don't make the mistake of thinking that we're talking
14:24
travail as it is with the world. Are we together?
14:29
The travail, as the world understands, is largely a 'cause
14:32
it's a product of ignorance. It's a proof of defeat.
14:36
But when we speak travail from a Bible standpoint, we use that
14:40
word to capture the entire constraints, the disciplines,
14:47
the sacrifices, and the ordinances that are required to
14:52
birth the glory of God and to make it manifest in and through
14:56
our lives. Do you understand?
14:58
Yes, so that when we make these descriptions, we don't, we don't
15:01
mistaken. It is very important.
15:03
So when we talk about travel, we're talking about the
15:06
constraints that you will have to one need to go through the
15:10
disciplines that you will submit yourself to.
15:13
Are we together? The temporary inconveniences, if
15:18
need be, the sacrifices and the ordinances you have to keep in
15:23
order to birth and to manifest the glory of God.
15:26
Romans chapter 8, please. From verse 8 and 19, here's what
15:29
it says. For I reckon that the sufferings
15:33
of this present time, Romans chapter 818 and 191818 and 19, I
15:39
reckon that the sufferings, the constraints of this present
15:44
time, it says they are not worthy.
15:48
Are we together, Yes, to be compared with the glory.
15:53
You see that word again, The glory that shall be revealed
15:56
where in US there is a glory that should be revealed in US, a
16:02
dimension of wisdom to be revealed in US, a dimension of
16:05
power, a dimension of influence. Are we together now that should
16:09
be revealed in US? And the Bible says until that
16:12
happens, we reckon we come to terms with the fact that the
16:17
sufferings, the constraints. He's given a word of comfort
16:22
that regardless what you are going through, it is leading you
16:26
somewhere. The birthing and the
16:28
manifestation of the glory of God.
16:30
It says for the endless expectation, verse 19 of
16:33
creation awaits the manifestation of the sons of
16:37
God. One of the renditions who say
16:39
creation is waiting for the sons to reveal those who did I mean
16:43
to reveal who they truly are. Very powerful rendition.
16:48
So there are constraints on the path to birth in glory.
16:52
We call that the travel. John chapter 16 and verse 21
16:56
Jesus was making a very profound statement. 1621 John chapter 16.
17:02
Here's what he says. He says a woman when she's in
17:07
travail. She said heart sorrow.
17:11
He's describing a woman in travail.
17:13
He says because her hour is come, that means certain
17:19
constraints is not proof that you are failing is proof that
17:23
your season is is is an indication in the spirit.
17:26
Are we together? He's saying that a woman who is
17:32
about to give birth, it is not unusual for her to sorrow.
17:35
She will cry, she will shout, she will weep, she will sell
17:38
kinds of things, but the Bible says because her hour is come,
17:42
but as soon as she delivers and she delivers her vision, her
17:47
child, that glory is revealed in her.
17:49
The Bible says the joy that stands before her on account of
17:53
which you will remember no more than anguish.
17:55
Let me speak over someone for a while.
17:58
It's look like the word of God is not working for a while.
18:01
It looks like enemies have an upper hand according to the
18:05
things that are happening in your life.
18:07
They say whatever and it looks like it's a self manifesting
18:10
prophecy. But let me announce to you, you
18:12
are in a season where God is walking slowly but meticulously.
18:17
And the end of that journey, I tell you is that the glory of
18:21
God will be revealed in your life.
18:23
Some of you at the end of that glory you will host an
18:26
anointing, an anointing for a generation.
18:29
Some of you at the end of that journey you will become captains
18:33
over God's inheritance. Some of you, at the end of that
18:36
journey, He will trust you not just with things.
18:39
He will trust you with His program.
18:44
There are three levels of authority in the Spirit.
18:48
The first level of authority is a test.
18:51
It qualifies you for the other two.
18:54
The first level of authority in the Spirit is authority over
18:57
things. Unfortunately, that's where
19:02
people's attention is. Money, material things.
19:05
When God gives you material things, you don't have true
19:07
authority yet. It's a test.
19:10
The parable of the talents. It started with material things
19:13
and ended up with a Kingdom. Are we together?
19:17
Are we Bible students? So the intention was to give
19:20
them a Kingdom, but he started by giving them talents,
19:26
authority over things #2 authority over territories.
19:32
That's the second level of authority over territories.
19:38
The 3rd and the highest level of authority I know, as revealed
19:41
from Scripture, is authority to steward God's program.
19:46
So God can tell you this is my 10 year plan for South Africa
19:51
and I'm putting you as a steward over it is the highest and
19:55
noblest level of authority a man can command.
19:59
Not just wealth, no, you can have material things and not
20:04
matter much in the spirit. Are we together?
20:08
God can give you access to the two lived gates of nations and
20:12
that is commendable. But when God can trust you with
20:15
his program, you see? The honor you get from being
20:20
trusted with God's program is nobody who participates in that
20:24
program will succeed in isolation to your contribution.
20:28
He will give you the honor of being at the epicenter.
20:32
The one who ignores you will do it to their detriment.
20:35
That's why he came to John, because John was not just having
20:38
things. He was in the wilderness, but he
20:41
had he was a custodian of a program and when he came, he
20:45
said John said, no, no, no, I'm not worthy to untie your shoe.
20:48
He says Sophie to be so I can't ignore you.
20:51
I know what this stands in the spirit that of all the prophets
20:55
that have come, none of them has been trusted.
20:57
Remember Jeremiah, he said, I've see I have set you over
21:01
kingdoms, over nations, but not over a program.
21:08
Hallelujah. Remember I promised
21:11
introduction. So let's let's I receive grace
21:13
to be focused in the name of Jesus so that we just put that
21:17
down. Who is understanding this now?
21:19
Yes. So now there are a few things
21:21
that I want us to understand. Number one is we need to
21:25
understand God's program. The concept of travail means
21:29
little or nothing to a man who is ignorant as to God's
21:33
prophetic program. Are we together?
21:35
Knowing then that travail captures the entire journey to
21:40
birthing and manifesting the glory of God?
21:43
The starting point of that journey is a thorough
21:46
understanding of God's prophetic program.
21:49
There are many people who want to be used by God.
21:52
There are many people who want to see the glory of God revealed
21:55
in their lives, but they are not even aware as to the fact that
21:59
number one, there is a prophetic program and your relevance in
22:03
the Kingdom is not intrinsic. It is dependent on your
22:07
connection to God's prophetic program.
22:10
If God is moving left, whoever moves left to becomes relevant
22:14
in that generation. You don't have to be evil to be
22:18
out of relevance. If God goes left and you go
22:21
right immediately the grace to be relevant is not is no longer
22:25
in your life because the grace follows His program.
22:29
Someone learning now. So most people have not taken
22:32
out time to really understand God's program.
22:35
Let me tell you ladies and gentlemen, God has an agenda for
22:39
individuals. God has an agenda for
22:42
territories. God has an agenda for nations at
22:48
every point in history. Prophetically, God is executing
22:52
something. There is a script, it's written
22:54
already. There's what God is doing in
22:56
South Africa now. The ones who are relevant is
23:00
those are those who know how to bend to the ears, the heart of
23:05
God and receive what He wants to do Now.
23:08
God is always moving, but he's not doing the same thing.
23:12
Is someone learning now? God's prophetic program.
23:15
He has a program for you. He has a program for your
23:19
family. Believe me.
23:21
He has a program for South Africa.
23:23
He has a program for Southern Africa.
23:26
He has a program for Africa. He has a program for Europe.
23:31
The relevance of men in this Kingdom, and as per any
23:34
dispensation, is to the degree to which they are able to align
23:38
with His prophetic program. Who understands this?
23:41
That's the reason why sometimes you find people who are on a
23:44
zooming. They do not have the parameters
23:47
that qualify to be great, but because they were foolish enough
23:52
to discern Gods program and donated themselves, they become
23:56
the envies of that generation. That's why the Bible says our
24:01
sufficiency is not of ourselves. Are we together Gods prophetic
24:07
program? Now from a theological
24:09
standpoint, there are two dimensions of God's program.
24:12
There is His general program as revealed in scripture that He
24:16
desires that all men be saved. Soul winning is not a special
24:20
program of God. Anyone who is in Christ should
24:23
be involved in that. Are we together discipleship and
24:26
territorial transformation? These ones are God's general
24:30
program as written in scripture. If you are a believer that has
24:34
been methodically mentored, you should be about this.
24:37
Soul winning is not for evangelists.
24:39
Soul winning is for everyone who loves the Lord.
24:43
Are we together and desires to see that His heart, that desire?
24:47
When you love a man, you seek to find out what gives him joy and
24:52
then you get invested in that agenda.
24:56
Hallelujah. Praise the name of the Lord, but
24:58
there's his unique prophetic program which is dispensational.
25:05
Hallelujah. And this is the assignment of
25:07
the apostles and the prophets through the sacrifice of
25:11
alignment, to be able to bend over backwards in the Spirit and
25:15
to understand what God is doing as per every dispensation.
25:19
In Ephesians chapter 3, when you read from the street, Paul began
25:23
to speak and he said something profound.
25:26
He says how that by revelation he made not unto me the mystery
25:30
as I wrote a four in few words. Verse four he says, Whereby when
25:35
ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of
25:39
Christ. Here it is now, verse 5, which
25:42
in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is
25:47
now revealed to His holy apostles and prophets by the
25:51
Spirit. So there was a body of spiritual
25:55
knowledge that no other dispensation could capture.
25:59
I hope you know that even when Jesus walked upon the earth,
26:02
there were some things they could not understand because
26:05
Jesus did not teach them. They did not have the spiritual
26:08
capacity. They were too weighty for them
26:11
to teach what Jesus said. I have many things to tell you.
26:14
He says what? As it stands now, based on your
26:17
spiritual construct, you cannot bear them now.
26:20
Those things they could not bear was what Paul began to teach.
26:26
Are we together now that body of knowledge that was too heavy for
26:31
the disciples, Paul? That was why when Peter listened
26:42
to Paul, he listened again. Listen again.
26:47
Jesus told us he would die, but we really did not understand
26:52
why, and we really did not understand the dynamics.
26:56
So when Paul came, he said it was not Jesus who died alone.
26:59
We also died in him. Nobody could teach us that.
27:04
We call it the Pauline revelations.
27:06
A body of It was Paul who said we are raised up with him.
27:10
Jesus never made that statement. We didn't know that we've been
27:14
raised up. We didn't know we're seated.
27:17
We didn't even know what we were above.
27:19
It was Paul who taught us. It was Paul who stratified the
27:22
gifts of the Spirit. Are we together now?
27:26
He brought order to the church. We never knew it was called Word
27:29
of knowledge. We never we just knew that it
27:32
was an an A manifestation of the Spirit of God.
27:35
I'm showing you how the glory of God revealed through a man.
27:38
It was captured in epistles. Paul had to make defense of
27:42
this. He said listen, when you listen
27:43
to my teachings, they are difficult, but do not take me to
27:46
be a controversial person. It was by revelation.
27:49
I was made a dispensational revelation and he made me a
27:54
custodian of it. We never knew that faith, hope
28:01
and love work together. We never knew that the greatest
28:05
of the three were was love. We know that God is love, but it
28:08
was Paul who gave us that arrangement.
28:10
Imagine learning God without the epistles.
28:14
You see that now? So the Gospels give you the
28:17
foundation, but the superstructure is based on the
28:20
epistles. It was Paul that Jesus just told
28:26
us when his spirit leaves a man, it goes around and then said to
28:29
cast them. What Paul said there is more and
28:32
Paul began to say we wrestle not against flesh and blood.
28:36
He arranged everything for us. It was are we together now?
28:41
So I'm, I'm digressing like that to let you know that when you do
28:47
not understand God's dispensational program, you can
28:51
be a sincere Christian, but there are certain dimensions of
28:55
glory you cannot host and you cannot birth.
28:57
Who understands me? So far, the reason why God is
29:02
doing what he's doing with South in South Africa.
29:04
Doosan mentioned that I sense that there is a desire, I sense
29:10
that there is a prophetic program and people are beginning
29:14
to come into that realization. Are we together now?
29:18
Beyond technological advancement?
29:20
There is a prophetic program and people are receiving it.
29:25
And in the name of Jesus, I'm praying for you that God will
29:29
give you a thorough understanding of what he's doing
29:32
in South Africa, what he's doing in Southern Africa, that you
29:36
will not be at a loss in the name of Jesus Christ.
29:41
Please be seated. So you must have a thorough
29:44
understanding. God has an agenda, a prophetic
29:49
agenda. Do you know every act of
29:51
deliverance in the Bible? Every act of, you know,
29:54
prophetic intervention? Every time God raised someone,
29:58
it was an ongoing process to fulfill that agenda.
30:02
From Genesis to Revelation, the stories are connected.
30:05
Every deliverance was for a cause.
30:08
Everything God did, whether he brought manner, whether he
30:11
brought deliverance, whatever he did, it was ultimately with
30:15
respect to his agenda. The surprising thing, ladies and
30:18
gentlemen, is that Satan also has an agenda.
30:22
Oh, he does. Oh, he does.
30:24
He's that visionary. He has an agenda.
30:27
Jesus gave us snippets of his agenda.
30:29
John 1010 He calls him the thief, and that when he comes,
30:33
he comes to steal, he comes to kill, he comes to destroy.
30:38
Are we together? The Bible says be so by He says
30:42
be vigilant for your adversary the devil.
30:46
Like a roaring lion he runs to and fro, seeking whom he may
30:51
devour. He says You are of your Father,
30:55
the devil and his will. He has a vision, He has a
30:59
script, and there are men who execute it.
31:03
The Bible calls them wicked and unreasonable people.
31:07
It says for not all men have faith.
31:08
Who is learning? Praise the name of the Lord.
31:11
So God has an agenda and Satan has an agenda.
31:17
Every attack of Satan on the Saints is a progressive attempt
31:21
to actualize that agenda, from sickness to defeat to failure.
31:26
Are we together? It's a script.
31:29
The the the gradual and progressive decline of your
31:33
family is not something Satan is thinking about.
31:35
It was planned, and it's up to you to understand how to rise.
31:40
My goodness, it's up to you to say no and to understand that
31:44
God has an agenda and to rise and stay the hands of darkness.
31:49
Most people think Satan just goes around and then he just
31:53
invents impulsively what to do with you.
31:57
No, no, there is a 20 year plan for South Africa.
32:01
There is a 30 year plan for South Africa.
32:03
There's a 20 year plan for your family.
32:06
He's that visionary. God also has an agenda that from
32:10
the foundations of the earth, the Lamb was already slain.
32:14
It was part of the agenda. Who is understanding me so far?
32:18
Now listen. Listen, I hope we are learning
32:21
God's prophetic program. It's important that all men be
32:25
saved and that they come unto the knowledge of the truth, but
32:29
in addition to that, that the glory of God be captured and
32:33
revealed to the Saints, and that by so doing creation will be
32:38
compelled to bring glory to the name of the Lord.
32:41
Do you understand that? Hallelujah.
32:46
Now, very quickly, the second thing we need to understand
32:50
order. And I'm not sure I'll have the
32:52
time. Just permit me, I'll just brush.
32:54
But I, I wish I had the time to do justice to it.
32:57
You need to understand man when you understand God's program.
33:04
The next port of call in really understanding the subject of
33:07
travail is to understand man. Not just from an anthropological
33:12
standpoint, man as the zenith of God's creation.
33:16
There is an intrinsic design in man that makes him the midwife
33:22
between good and evil. That God is looking for that
33:26
same man and Satan is looking for that same man.
33:30
Are we together now? Now, in a world when both
33:34
government and terrorists are looking for the same person, you
33:37
should find out that there's something in that person.
33:40
Am I right on that? When the rich and the poor
33:42
looking for the same person, when educated and uneducated are
33:46
looking for same person? So the psalmist would say, when
33:52
I consider the heavens and all of those things, he says, what
33:56
is man that thou art mindful of? Nor the Son of man, Psalm 8,
34:01
five and six, that thou visitest him.
34:04
What is man? I usually would say, what is in
34:07
man? What did God put in man that you
34:10
are mindful of? That man is not even aware?
34:13
Why is Satan so interested in man?
34:16
Why not rocks? Why not flowers?
34:21
Why not gold? Why not silver?
34:24
What is it about man that Satan can give up everything?
34:28
He was willing to give the world to the man Jesus and said just
34:32
bow, not bow everyday. Bow once and I'm satisfied.
34:36
That means there is something in man that men are not aware of.
34:41
Is someone learning Now? Why is Satan about your life?
34:47
You need to find out. And why does God insist on you?
34:51
You hate him, you insult, you run, you backslide.
34:54
He still comes being vulnerable. What is he looking for?
34:58
Did he lose his creativity? Could he not create the heavens
35:01
and the earth again? After all, all power still
35:04
belongs to him. Why does God still insist on
35:07
Joshua Selman? Why God does God still insist on
35:10
South Africa? Why is it that he does not leave
35:13
you? You don't pray He still comes to
35:16
you. Hallelujah, I have loved you
35:25
with an everlasting love, he says.
35:27
And with my loving kindness I have drawn you.
35:30
How about Satan ever determined? In spite of the fact that he was
35:35
going around the world, he still noted the man Job, and he
35:38
brought a case, he said. I'm not satisfied going around
35:41
the world. There's still one man that have
35:44
not been able to penetrate and I'm not satisfied.
35:46
What exactly Satan looking for? Is it barrenness?
35:50
Is it poverty? You'll be mistaken to think all
35:53
that demonic investment is just to make you poor or to make you
35:57
barren. Are we together or to make you
36:00
fail, or to make you die? No, the agenda is bigger than
36:04
that. The same way you think you'll be
36:09
a waste of your understanding to think all God wants you to do is
36:13
to be rich, to have a car, just to have influence.
36:16
No, the agenda is bigger than that.
36:21
Hallelujah. Man occupies a very unique
36:25
position. Genesis 126 to 28.
36:28
And God said, let us make man Adam the man.
36:34
He's not just describing a male, he's describing the man Adam.
36:38
Let us make him in our image and after our likeness, the word
36:43
image, Karagma is a spiritual quality.
36:46
Make that man in the reflection of the Christ and then #2 to
36:51
make him to function like us, to have our physical attributes,
36:56
and that our modus operandi becomes his modus operandi.
36:59
We create by speaking. He will create by speaking.
37:02
We walk by our hands. He will walk by his hands.
37:05
That's what it means to be in the likeness of God.
37:07
Is someone learning? Now then the Bible says that
37:11
that man was enthroned. He was given dominion.
37:14
And you read down to 28. Now it's very important for you
37:18
to know. I want to tell you a few things
37:19
about man. Again, my apologies #1 humans
37:24
are the highest of God's creation.
37:27
It's important for you to know that.
37:30
Isn't it amazing that as you watch, whether it's not your
37:33
world or science, look the way men have been able to tame their
37:37
world? You watch someone who is flying
37:40
a Boeing Sea 787 or whatever kind of aircraft, and you look
37:44
at the tiny pilot in front and is pushing that metal and it
37:49
it's been designed to obey that. Men have been able to build
37:54
bridges in water, to dredge, to dredge rivers and seas and
38:00
produce structures from it. The dominion of man being
38:03
exerted in creation, to use plants, to make clothes.
38:07
You know, all of the technological advancement.
38:09
Who would ever know ladies and gentlemen that you can send a
38:13
message 40,000 feet above sea level, we together and in an
38:18
instant to get to someones phone simply because you have access
38:22
to the Internet. Man for you.
38:25
Man is the zenith of God's creation #2 Every activity upon
38:30
the earth is man dependent. Please understand that these are
38:34
very strong foundations. Every activity that happens upon
38:38
the earth cannot happen except and unless man comes into
38:43
partnership with a spirit. The activity of destruction
38:46
cannot happen independent of the participation of man.
38:51
The activity of life and victory and dominion cannot happen
38:56
outside of the participation of man.
38:58
So every activity upon the earth, good or bad, depends on
39:03
man. Psalm 115 and verse 16.
39:05
The heaven of heavens belong to the Lord, but the earth had He
39:09
given to the children of men, But South Africa had He given to
39:13
the children of men. Hallelujah #3 Both God and Satan
39:20
require men for the execution of their program.
39:24
This is very important. Both God and Satan require men
39:29
for the successful execution of their program.
39:34
Satan is as powerful as the man willing to partner with him.
39:41
Listen to that. Satan's power is derived from
39:45
the availability of one man on earth for as long as there is
39:49
one man, he can manipulate authority and met out wickedness
39:55
upon the earth. Are we together Ezekiel chapter
40:01
21 verse 30 I sought for a man I sought for a man Ezekiel 22 and
40:07
verse 30I sought for a man who will stand in the gap are we
40:14
together and. Ezekiel chapter 22, Ezekiel 22
40:20
and verse 30I sought for a man, thank you, who should make up
40:27
the hedge and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I
40:31
should not destroy it, but I found none.
40:33
Tonight God has men. I say prophetically.
40:37
Tonight God has found men. God will never be in want of men
40:42
over South Africa. His program will never be
40:45
aborted nor stalled as a result of lack of man.
40:48
You believe that shout. Amen.
40:50
Someone say I am available like you are serious.
40:54
Say I am available. Hallelujah.
41:00
My life changed the day I discovered that as mighty and
41:03
invincible as God is, He's made himself vulnerable to my
41:07
contribution. That God can do without me, but
41:13
he's chosen by his mercy to make me a partner.
41:18
The Bible calls us Co laborers. It's a very powerful statement.
41:22
It says partakers of the heavenly calling.
41:25
It's a heavily calling, but we are partakers of it.
41:28
That means in building anything, it is God and me.
41:32
It is the Spirit and the Bride. The war never comes, miracles
41:35
never come. The great destiny never comes
41:38
just because the Spirit wants it.
41:40
So the Spirit wanted the bombs in Ezekiel's valley to be an
41:44
army, but nothing could happen, provided it was still the Spirit
41:48
alone until he found a man. The man prophesied as the Spirit
41:52
commanded and there was a sound Hallelujah.
41:56
The day of Pentecost, 3000 souls happened because of the Spirit
42:01
and men. There was a man who declared the
42:04
intent of the Spirit and 3000 people came.
42:08
Are we together? Listen, it's important for you
42:11
to redefine yourself in light of the honor God has given you.
42:15
He can do without us. He has the power to raise up
42:19
stones, but he has chosen that if he wants to back his
42:22
prophetic program in South Africa.
42:24
He's patient enough till he finds you.
42:27
He's vulnerable enough till he finds you.
42:30
Who is learning now? So the next time you say God can
42:34
do without you, your right. But from a prophetic standpoint
42:38
he's decided by covenants to incorporate you in his program.
42:42
Meaning if you tell God no, he will still move but he will take
42:46
a long time to find another person.
42:49
Is the reason why God will prefer to clean, fix work on his
42:53
patient is cheaper than starting afresh?
43:02
Who is following? Oh, it's an honor that God has
43:06
given us that for any prophetic program to happen in South
43:11
Africa and across the nations of the earth.
43:15
This program, God decided to bless South Africa this much,
43:19
but he needed men else he would have stopped as prophecy.
43:23
Who is learning now? Few minutes before I came up, we
43:26
received the ministry of Minister Dunsin, the Spirit of
43:29
God through a man. Are we together?
43:33
Yes, the songs came from the Spirit, but they were arranged
43:38
by intelligence and the cooperation of a man and the
43:41
diligence of a man and the discipline of a man.
43:45
Are we together? Now?
43:47
Listen, if you do not understand this about men, you will keep
43:51
saying, Lord, why don't you move?
43:53
And God says, because you are not ready for me to move.
43:57
Revivals have no dates. Revival happens the day the
44:01
vessels are ready. Here what I say the day the
44:07
vessel is ready, the move can begin.
44:10
So the delay in time is not God's desire to delay is the is
44:15
the the slow pace of spiritual evolution from the vessels that
44:20
need to be used. If you understand me, we're
44:22
building up to the subject of travail you just laugh over.
44:27
I travel and then live with nothing constructive in your
44:30
mind. You have to understand God's
44:32
program. Then you have to understand
44:35
man's role, that God can do without us, and yet by covenant
44:40
He's kept us at the epicenter of His program.
44:46
That if the man of God decides to say now, Lord, I don't love
44:50
you again, his program will continue, but there will be a
44:54
blow to that program. It's an uncomfortable statement.
44:57
It sounds like flattery, that one man can reject God and he
45:01
can affect his program. Yes, Sir, Yes, Sir, yes, Sir.
45:05
He can. By his intelligence he will
45:08
route away, but because he's invested time, energy, resources
45:12
and confidence in one man, he will have to find another man
45:16
again. Is the reason why the Angel was
45:19
patient to answer everyone of Mary's questions?
45:29
Hallelujah. You thought you'd be silly and
45:33
say you are not even counting it a privilege.
45:35
Let me go back. No men are that valuable to God.
45:39
It's only men who don't value men, but spirits value men. 1 of
45:49
the elements of a transformed mind is value for human dignity.
45:53
Did you hear what I said? Let me encourage those who are
45:57
leaders and politicians. One of the elements of a
46:01
transformed mind is value for human dignity.
46:05
If you do not have value for human dignity, there is a level
46:09
of transformation you have not attained.
46:14
Hallelujah. Both God and Satan require men
46:22
for their program, and I'll tell you this, the manifestation of
46:30
God's desire and prophetic program depends on the
46:35
willingness and the alignment of men.
46:39
It does not just depend on prophecy, it depends on the
46:43
willingness. That means if God wants to move
46:47
over South Africa and you are the 1 he wants to use and you
46:51
tell him no, you obstruct the program.
46:55
You don't stop the program, but you obstruct the program.
46:59
For every time you tell God no, a soul pays the price for every
47:05
time you tell God no. A prophet's destiny is tampered
47:09
by your disalignment. An apostle's destiny is tampered
47:13
by your disalignment. Are we together now?
47:16
For every time a mother says no to train her child, she's
47:20
corrupted the potential for a prophet to rise.
47:23
For every time a businessman gets lazy and does not go to
47:27
work to bring the resources for Kingdom come, he's interrupted
47:30
something. Everything in man's activity is
47:34
ultimately promoting or interrupting God's program.
47:37
If you understand this, it will sponsor your diligence.
47:40
The idea is not just to make money or to have children or to
47:44
go to school. All of those things are either
47:47
leading towards the birthing of God's program or away.
47:51
So from a spiritual standpoint, God is not interested whether
47:55
you're an engineer or architect or whatever.
47:57
He's interested in whether your life is birthing His program or
48:02
obstructing it. That's it.
48:03
There are only two categories in the Spirit, those who are about
48:07
the birthing and the manifestation of God's glory,
48:11
God's program, and those who are intentional or unintentionally
48:16
obstructing it. Who is learning?
48:21
So the worshipper who brings a song and blesses the whole globe
48:26
has moved them closer. He's provided the tools and the
48:30
resources that can help them to birth God's glory.
48:33
Are we together? The man who sponsors God's
48:35
program, The pastor who remains diligent with integrity even
48:40
though with options to compromise and he chooses as an
48:43
act of his will to remain. You are not remaining for
48:46
yourself. Your remaining is your
48:47
commitment, your contribution to seeing that God's program is not
48:51
tampered with. Your coming to church.
48:54
That every time I say Walker, if you omit coming to church is
48:58
beyond bringing the numbers down.
49:00
Your presence, your significance, the role that has
49:03
been allotted to you is affecting the overall picture.
49:07
So when you look at your life from the lens of one whom
49:11
advances the program or retrogresses the program, you
49:14
will become committed. Not religiously.
49:17
Now you see how relevant you are.
49:22
Imagine the Bible without Paul. Imagine the Bible without Peter.
49:27
We are able to enjoy a rich, holistic capture of Scripture
49:31
because men realize that they were that important to the point
49:37
that even when Paul was in prison, he would not think about
49:41
himself. Look, him writing letters and
49:43
warning people in the prison. I hear you guys are misbehaving.
49:46
I'm in prison now, but I'm soon going to come out.
49:49
And as soon as I come out, there's a conference that will
49:51
happen there. This is a man who understands
49:53
that God's program depends on him.
49:56
I want you to make a very ambitious statement.
49:58
Say God can do without me, but he has chosen to make me part of
50:07
his program. Say God can do without me, but
50:13
he has chosen to use my gift, to use my life, to use my
50:20
education, to use my influence, to promote His agenda.
50:25
Therefore I am valuable, Therefore I am useful.
50:32
Therefore I am needed in the birthing of God's program.
50:38
Let me tell you this, never you allow some naysayer downplay on
50:44
your relevance. The question is not whether you
50:48
are the richest or the poorest. The question is not whether you
50:51
are the most educated or not. The question is not whether you
50:54
are the most handsome or not. The question is who is on the
50:57
Lord's side? Who is on the Lord's side?
51:06
Relevance in the Kingdom is not with respect to personal
51:10
ambition, it's with respect to the degree to which your life
51:14
contributes to the birthing and the manifestation of God's
51:18
glory. You understand this so far?
51:22
All right, so now I can safely introduce this.
51:36
Hallelujah, praise the name of the Lord.
51:41
So make sure you don't just get excited.
51:43
I've said three things. Number one, I define for you
51:46
glory, and I told you that God's desire is that His glory in its
51:50
multifaceted dimensions be revealed through the Saints, and
51:54
that when that happens, God is glorified.
51:57
You still remember #2 We then agreed that God has a prophetic
52:01
program, and that the subject of travelling to birth the glory
52:05
has little or no value to one who does not have a thorough
52:09
understanding of God's program. And that God's program generally
52:13
is that all men be saved and they come on to the knowledge of
52:16
the truth. But that God has unique
52:18
prophetic and dispensational programs for individuals,
52:22
families, nations, and territories.
52:25
Are we together? He has a program at every point
52:27
in time. And that your relevance in any
52:29
dispensation is connected to your degree of alignment to the
52:34
birthing of that program. And then #3 we said you have to
52:38
understand man as the zenith of God's creation.
52:41
That man is the midwife. Between good and evil.
52:44
Man is the midwife between the advancement of God's prophetic
52:49
program and the delay or the obstruction of it.
52:52
And that while God is able to do without us, he's made himself so
52:56
vulnerable that his program depends on our obedience,
53:00
depends on our participation. He calls us Co laborers.
53:05
He calls us partakers of the heavenly call.
53:09
Hallelujah. That means when you come to that
53:11
consciousness and receive it as an honor with humility, that I
53:15
am relevant for God's program to happen.
53:18
You don't receive it out of pride, but it is the truth.
53:23
If Joshua Salman decides today to not be serious with God, his
53:27
program will still continue, but it will not be as easy as it
53:30
would have been with my contribution it takes.
53:33
It is a hard work to align. Are we together now?
53:43
I'll introduce how destinies, how seasons, and how prophetic
53:49
programs are birthed. This is where we're really going
53:52
to. But we needed to put all those
53:54
preambles. How destinies, how seasons, and
53:59
how prophetic programs are birthed.
54:01
I'm going to give you 3 keys very quickly.
54:04
Philippians chapter 2 and verse 13.
54:07
This is a scripture that I have learnt and it's blessed my life.
54:12
Here's what the Bible says. For it is God which walketh in
54:18
you. Take note both to will and to do
54:25
alandos kiata, both to will and to do Hallelujah.
54:35
I'll tell you how destinies are birthed.
54:37
I'm saying this because there are people here who are
54:39
wondering, how can I evolve to be the man of God God wants me
54:43
to be? How can I evolve?
54:46
I've seen it in my dream. Between Joseph the dreamer and
54:50
Joseph the Prime Minister, there was a pathway.
54:53
That's what I want to show you now.
54:56
Hallelujah. Now listen.
54:57
The Bible says from that Scripture that it is God who
55:00
walks in men first to wield his desire, then he empowers them to
55:05
do it, meaning God is the initiator of every vision, every
55:11
prophetic program. When God wants to produce, a
55:15
worshipper, when God wants to produce a man of God, a Kingdom
55:19
financier, when God wants to produce, I call them an
55:23
Apostolic Christian. The first thing he gives you is
55:27
a gift called dissatisfaction. Now listen, a man who has not
55:36
received that gift cannot be at the cutting edge of travelling.
55:41
Dissatisfaction is a mystery in the Spirit.
55:44
It is a gift. It's a cry for more.
55:48
It's a hunger for greater. The Bible says it is God who is
55:51
at work. That dissatisfaction that when
55:55
you saw a program and they were sick people and they left
55:59
without being healed and you went back, that thing you see is
56:02
a gift. When you see people poor and you
56:06
go back home and say, but life can be better than this.
56:09
Every time you begin to wield an idea that it is engineered, it
56:14
is God who is at work in you. We're discussing the dynamics of
56:21
travel now. Nobody ever emerges until it
56:25
starts with this holy anger, this provocation.
56:31
It will later evolve into something more constructive, but
56:35
it starts with a dissatisfaction.
56:37
Why do I see children suffering and something begins to work in
56:42
my heart? It is God who is at work in you.
56:45
Why is it that every time you see marriage is destroyed, you
56:48
go back and cry and take it personal?
56:51
The fact that it's not happening to everyone tells you you've
56:54
been singled out by prophecy. There is a mandate.
56:57
It's, it's Hallelujah. Listen, before a woman gets
57:05
pregnant, don't, don't tempt me to go into tomorrow's script.
57:08
Let's leave tomorrow's script for tomorrow's script.
57:11
The first thing that happens is a wooing for a relationship.
57:15
And then the relationship leads to marriage.
57:17
Then the marriage leads to intimacy.
57:19
Then the intimacy will produce a seed.
57:25
Am I right on that tell you how God calls men?
57:32
He sets a burning Bush and it keeps burning until it gets your
57:39
attention for someone. That Bush burned in business and
57:45
even though you started thinking you'll be a pastor, but every
57:49
time you incline towards business, it is God the one who
57:52
allocates that hunger. It's an expression.
57:57
Please listen to this. I came to help someone.
58:00
I came to show you how this thing works.
58:07
Most parents do not detect this in children.
58:10
Why is the child always singing? Always singing?
58:14
It's not because he loves songs. It is God who is at work.
58:19
There is a worshipper there. There is prophecy revolving
58:23
around the worshipper, but what happens is the spirit of the
58:27
Antichrist moves sometimes through parents and we kill that
58:30
vision. Listen to me.
58:34
Why is it that every time you watch a man of God deep calls on
58:39
too deep is beyond admiration? No, it is because you have seen
58:44
a portrait. God is using that portrait to to
58:48
show you the where he's taking you to.
58:52
Now listen. Listen, alantos cabrante de
58:58
balatusia ETA shabalanto separate de balaco para grate
59:04
sabella nakosia. Listen to me.
59:08
Some of you are in that face right now.
59:11
You cannot explain the cause of the dissatisfaction, but it has
59:17
refused to go. It is because it is eternal.
59:21
You thought school will solve it and God was patient for five
59:25
years till you finished. As soon as you obtain your
59:28
certificate, you found out it was still there.
59:30
It didn't go anywhere. Listen when when God, he can use
59:37
a vision like Joseph, but sometimes he can use desire,
59:42
sometimes he can use a voice like Samwell.
59:45
But please hear me, when Satan wants to abort your destiny, he
59:50
will do something to your heart. Would take for granted that
59:56
feeling. Many billionaires today will
59:59
tell you before they had their first dollar.
1:00:02
They just they call it their passion.
1:00:04
They call it a zeal to make the world a better place.
1:00:07
The fact that not everybody has that zeal is proof that you have
1:00:11
been called out. Hallelujah.
1:00:18
Now what do you think? Made Mary to keep herself a
1:00:23
virgin. You think she didn't have the
1:00:28
opportunity to see men? No, there was a hand that
1:00:33
protected her even when out there.
1:00:39
Hallelujah. Certain immunities in your life
1:00:43
today. You are not prayerful, boy.
1:00:45
You don't beg. Even before you understood the
1:00:48
principles of favor, God seemed to have surrounded you.
1:00:53
Moses, don't be flattered. You did not just get to the
1:00:56
House of Pharaoh because you're an invincible child.
1:00:59
You have been protected because there is prophecy.
1:01:02
It is God who is at work, who is learning now.
1:01:09
I just wanted to get this concept.
1:01:11
Then we pray. We'll get this.
1:01:12
I promise you, we'll pray. We need to get this, that
1:01:16
nudging of the Spirit. It's a very deep, it's the
1:01:21
initiator of the process of birthing the glory.
1:01:25
Yes Sir. Yes, Sir, yes, Sir.
1:01:28
So the little child sits down and he's trying to play with
1:01:31
toys and in his mind he's building something.
1:01:34
Don't obstruct him. It is God who is at work.
1:01:37
Something is growing there. A young man, even without
1:01:43
mentorship, has a strong affinity to prayer.
1:01:47
It's not usual. It is God who is at work because
1:01:50
there is a prophetic ministry coming out of that man.
1:01:53
And so God initiated the process.
1:01:56
The Bible says John was filled with the Holy Ghost from his
1:02:00
mother's womb. What kind of ordination is that?
1:02:03
He needed it. And if God were to depend on
1:02:05
Zechariah and his mother, he will never become John who
1:02:08
ordains Jesus. And so God had to go ahead.
1:02:14
Now you begin to look at your life from the lens of destiny
1:02:18
and prophecy. Some of you had the privilege to
1:02:21
come from great families. Don't be flattered by the
1:02:24
privileges around you connected to purpose immediately.
1:02:28
God gave you a certain level of inconvenience because your
1:02:32
assignment will need time, and if He were to allow you start
1:02:36
looking for money by yourself, you'll be busy looking for
1:02:40
money. And I bought your destiny.
1:02:41
So He gave you a leverage so that He can get your attention.
1:02:50
It is God who is at work in us as any great man you know.
1:02:54
They will tell you, whether consciously or unconsciously,
1:02:59
that they remember those times when that seed came.
1:03:05
God dropped it through a dream. God dropped it as you grew.
1:03:09
The day you watched a man of God, from that day, you could
1:03:12
not rest. It was like ministry, ministry.
1:03:16
And you're saying, but I don't want this.
1:03:19
Sometimes you find yourself as you read the Bible.
1:03:25
When you read the Bible, you suddenly find now you are
1:03:27
reading yourself. It suddenly changes from the
1:03:32
book of Ruth to the book of you. You are reading yourself.
1:03:38
Now listen, please, you are not just reading the story of a
1:03:41
woman who went to Boaz. No, you are reading a road map
1:03:47
that is showing you your own destiny.
1:03:52
The gift of dissatisfaction. Someone needs to receive that
1:03:56
gift tonight. The one who is not dissatisfied
1:04:01
will remain with the tattoo score and you will never see
1:04:04
that there is a higher and nobler prophetic call.
1:04:09
I heard your man of God talk about the time he left Nigeria
1:04:13
and came to South Africa and for a while he was involved in real
1:04:16
estate and all of that and he was doing well.
1:04:18
But that thing will not go. Money does not solve that
1:04:22
hunger. Relationship does nothing on ACT
1:04:27
solves that hunger. Some of you, you are here.
1:04:29
You've been by your ordination, you should already be
1:04:33
worshippers. But as it stands now, you have a
1:04:37
page books full of songs. But the reason why those songs
1:04:42
cannot bless the nation is because you have not respected
1:04:46
that nudging the blessing of dissatisfaction.
1:04:56
Now watch this. This dissatisfaction draws you
1:05:00
to the place of prayer and the place of intimacy.
1:05:05
God does not say go and pray for your destiny.
1:05:08
No, He plans the hunger. Then he watches your response
1:05:13
because he needs your will. True desire a man.
1:05:20
What's the praise? A man desire?
1:05:23
He separates himself. Then he begins to intermeddle
1:05:28
with wisdom. So it drives you to go to God in
1:05:32
prayer. Lord, I don't understand what my
1:05:35
life is about. But whilst you are praying,
1:05:38
intimacy begins. Let me tell you this in the
1:05:41
place of intimacy. So dissatisfaction draws you to
1:05:46
prayer, and prayer likened to intimacy.
1:05:51
A divine seed is deposited in your spirit.
1:05:56
The first thing you have is not the seed.
1:05:58
The first thing you have is the luring to receive the seed.
1:06:03
That dissatisfaction is not yet the seed.
1:06:06
Now we together, the dissatisfaction is God proposing
1:06:10
to you that a prophet can arise from you, that an apostle can
1:06:14
arise from you, that a worshipper can arise from you.
1:06:17
Now it depends on your response. Your response should be to go to
1:06:21
the place of prayer and begin to walk with God in the place of
1:06:25
prayer. If you stay in the place of
1:06:28
prayer, hear me, a seed is deposited in your spirit.
1:06:32
That seed can mean a new season. That seed can mean wisdom.
1:06:37
It can mean grace. Whatever it is, listen, the
1:06:40
moment your spirit receives it, you are now pregnant with
1:06:45
prophecy. Now, as simple as what I'm
1:06:51
saying is, there are many people.
1:06:53
Unfortunately, they have not even they don't need travail
1:06:57
because there's no seed. The hunger has been there for 10
1:07:03
years, but God has been waiting. The Bush has been burning.
1:07:07
Moses, you will never receive any seed, any mandate until you
1:07:12
come. Moses said.
1:07:13
I will turn aside and see this great sight.
1:07:17
When Moses now came, intimacy began, and in the place of
1:07:22
intimacy, that seed, he began to not shut the deliverer in him.
1:07:27
Are we together until you would later become a great deliverer.
1:07:33
Hear me, Ladies and gentlemen, tonight there are scattered in
1:07:37
this auditorium and many who are falling online.
1:07:39
God is not working you. That's why some of you traveled
1:07:43
from outside South Africa. You did not travel just because
1:07:46
you have transport. It was a solemn assembly and
1:07:50
your name was in that register in the spirit.
1:07:53
You were drawn. You were drawn, and for some of
1:07:59
you, I hope you know, the first person God called was not
1:08:02
Abraham. God called his father terror,
1:08:05
but terror and God respected him and now came.
1:08:09
If Abraham had refused, God will be patient and raise another
1:08:13
one. The Angel refused to leave until
1:08:18
Mary said, Be it unto me. When did she receive the seed?
1:08:24
When she agreed that this is God's prophetic program and I am
1:08:29
the handmaiden, he said Behold, the handmaiden of the Lord.
1:08:32
Someone needs to say, Behold, oh God, behold, I am the available
1:08:37
vessel. I hear that you are looking for
1:08:40
mighty prophets and apostles in South Africa.
1:08:43
There are already many, but can I be enlisted among them?
1:08:46
Behold the handmaiden of the Lord, He says, be it unto me.
1:08:52
This is a critical part of your manifesting the glory of God.
1:08:58
A woman who a man can be asking a woman for a relationship and
1:09:02
marriage for 20 years. It is the day she tells him yes
1:09:07
I want to marry you that that relationship onto marriage has
1:09:11
officially started. Am I right on that The man can
1:09:14
assume just because I've been around her and I like her, it
1:09:17
doesn't mean you marry her. There needs to be an answer
1:09:22
because her father will ask you, did she say yes?
1:09:24
Well, technically no. Did she say yes?
1:09:32
Many of you like the bride of Christ, He's been on your case
1:09:36
for decades. Tonight is a night to say yes,
1:09:40
yes, not yet to be saved, yes, to be part of that prophetic
1:09:47
program, and yes will lead to the next thing.
1:09:50
He will call you to prayer and in the place of prayer the seed
1:09:55
will be sown in your spirit. There is a name given to that
1:09:59
seed. And that will be our discussion
1:10:02
for tomorrow. I'm going to be teaching you the
1:10:05
mystery of burdens. The name given to the seed that
1:10:14
is received. That child is called a burden.
1:10:19
It's a spiritual language. It's an expression.
1:10:23
Listen, pay attention to this. The burden is likened to
1:10:33
pregnancy, and the first thing it does is to change you.
1:10:38
It manipulates your life completely, like a woman who
1:10:42
gets pregnant and all of a sudden does not want oil, does
1:10:46
not want this, wants to eat smoked jollof rice.
1:10:49
She's under the influence of something she's carrying.
1:10:53
The moment that seed enters you, some relationships, you don't
1:10:57
have to pray about them. It begins to culture your
1:11:00
behavior. Come on, women talk to me.
1:11:02
Men don't understand me, but women talk to me.
1:11:05
Listen, talk to me if you've seen a woman pregnant.
1:11:13
Are we together? Sometimes a pregnancy does not
1:11:17
have to wait until it's four or five months.
1:11:21
All of a sudden, a strange fever that cannot be explained.
1:11:26
And the husband says you are joking, say I'm pregnant.
1:11:29
She goes to the hospital, her appetites are tamed immediately,
1:11:34
her mood, everything. She remains under the influence
1:11:38
of that child. It will many times determine
1:11:42
whether she will go out or not. A believer who is careless and
1:11:47
reckless. It's not because he's not
1:11:49
serious with God. It's because there is nothing.
1:11:51
He has not received the seed. When you receive the seed while
1:11:56
others are sleeping, you will be awake praying because there is.
1:12:01
It started with the gift of dissatisfaction and that drew
1:12:07
you to the place of prayer and intimacy allowed for the seed of
1:12:12
the Spirit. And from the dead that seed
1:12:15
lands in your life. You cannot be yourself again.
1:12:20
As powerful as the woman is, the child can manipulate anything
1:12:26
about her. He can literally make her to
1:12:29
cancel a trip because you will engineer a discomfort that will
1:12:34
force her to sit there. For some of you, you are on a
1:12:42
spiritual gestation period. Right now is the reason why what
1:12:46
others do you can't do. It's not because it is right or
1:12:49
wrong. It's because what you are
1:12:51
carrying is weighty and what you are carrying is heavy.
1:12:56
Tomorrow we are going to go to the book of Revelations and I
1:12:59
will show you the mystery of a woman.
1:13:01
The Bible says a woman was pregnant with a manchild and
1:13:06
when she was about to give birth, a dragon showed up and
1:13:10
one time. Leave that for tomorrow.
1:13:12
Rise up on your feet. Rise up on your feet.
1:13:16
We have to Shanala sopran dicke prodiga Balahos Theatre.
1:13:25
Hallelujah. Have you learnt anything
1:13:27
tonight? Hallelujah.
1:13:32
I desire the glory of God to be revealed in and through my life,
1:13:37
but that in revealing that glory, I must be mindful of the
1:13:41
fact that it is God who is at work in me.
1:13:48
God is at work in Samson, in David, in Ruth.
1:13:53
What do you think made Ruth too suddenly want to be around Boaz?
1:13:58
This is beyond love. This is destiny, destiny,
1:14:04
destiny, destiny, destiny. I look around and I see men and
1:14:14
women. Some of you are men of God.
1:14:16
Some of you have responded to that dissatisfaction.
1:14:19
Some of you do not even understand it.
1:14:24
I'm giving you language and explanation tonight.
1:14:26
That restlessness in your spirit is not a demonic attack.
1:14:31
It's a gift. A prayer life is on his way,
1:14:36
Imagine. A prophetic destiny is on his
1:14:40
way, Imagine. A deliverer is on his way.
1:14:44
Imagine Hallelujah. Praise the name of the Lord.
1:14:49
Hopefully tomorrow I will challenge us and we'll trust God
1:14:53
for grace to receive the spirit of prayer and supplication.
1:14:59
As soon as Zion travelled, she put forth his child.
1:15:03
Lift your hands and give Jesus praise.
1:15:06
Thank Him for everything you have heard tonight.
1:15:11
Thank Him for the period of worship.
1:15:16
Hallelujah, our time is first spent.
1:15:18
Can I do an altar call? Will it be fine to do an altar
1:15:21
call? Please keep standing everybody.
1:15:24
I told you that God's will as revealed in Scripture is that
1:15:27
all men be saved. That man includes you.
1:15:32
It is impossible that out of the thousands of people here
1:15:35
gathered at the many following online that there are no people
1:15:39
who can who desire to make it right with Jesus.
1:15:43
The first step when the Holy Spirit lures you is that you
1:15:46
surrender all and receive this gift of His life that is in
1:15:51
Christ Jesus. I'm speaking to a dear brother
1:15:53
and a dear sister. I may not know you, you don't
1:15:57
have to, but I encourage you use the gift of your will like the
1:16:02
prodigal son and find your way back to the home where honor,
1:16:06
where dignity, where a great destiny is resident.
1:16:09
I want to give you an opportunity to make the altar
1:16:12
call, and I'm looking for a very sincere person tonight.
1:16:17
I'm looking for the first person who will come to stand here and
1:16:22
count 1 to 5. For sake of time, I want you to
1:16:24
leave your seat. You are saying, apostle, I truly
1:16:27
want to make it right with Jesus.
1:16:29
All you are saying I'm rededicating my life.
1:16:31
I don't want to play games. I mean it from the depth of my
1:16:34
heart. I know there's someone who is
1:16:36
bold enough. You want to win that war once
1:16:39
and for all. As I begin to count one to five,
1:16:41
I like you to leave your seat very boldly and calm and stand
1:16:45
right in front of me. That includes those who are
1:16:47
falling on line. We have just one minute for you.
1:16:50
May I request that you come quickly.
1:16:52
I begin my counting one. Let's celebrate them as they
1:16:55
come. If you are running, run quickly.
1:16:59
Come to Jesus two, South Africa, Celebrate salvation.
1:17:07
Come, come. God bless you.
1:17:11
Come, come. Three.
1:17:20
No matter how far you are, make your way, Make your way quickly,
1:17:24
make your way. Let's celebrate them.
1:17:26
They are coming. Come, He's able to give you a
1:17:34
new beginning through the atmosphere of worship and the
1:17:38
Word tonight. He wants to make a blessing out
1:17:43
of your life. He wants to make a sign and a
1:17:46
wonder. You can be reconciled to Jesus
1:17:49
tonight and he'll begin your journey to greatness.
1:17:53
For I count 5 and will pray. Still see people coming.
1:17:57
Come, let's celebrate them as they come.
1:18:01
Let's celebrate them as they come.
1:18:02
Young, old, male, female, come for some of you, even with
1:18:09
salvation tonight you will be receiving the gift of hunger,
1:18:13
the gift of dissatisfaction. In Jesus name we pray even this.
1:18:26
It is God who is at work in you, for no man can come to the
1:18:30
Father. Blessed said is the man who God
1:18:33
causes to approach him. It is God who causes men to
1:18:36
approach him. My brothers and sisters, I want
1:18:39
to say thank you on behalf of Jesus and the Angel over this
1:18:42
house. I want to say thank you for the
1:18:44
boldness and the courage to make this noble decision.
1:18:47
Can I request that you lift your right hand?
1:18:49
Let it be as a sign of surrender.
1:18:51
And I'm also praying for someone who is following all across
1:18:54
South Africa, across Africa. You're following by the
1:18:58
airwaves. Lift your right hand and say
1:19:00
this loud and clear. Say, Lord Jesus, tonight I've
1:19:05
heard your word. I love you with all my heart.
1:19:12
I believe you are the Son of God.
1:19:17
I believe you died for my sin. Right now I receive Jesus into
1:19:25
my heart as my Savior, my Lord, and my King.
1:19:32
I declare that the power of sin, Satan, hell and the grave is
1:19:42
broken over my life from tonight.
1:19:46
I'm a child of God. I go for whatever and back
1:19:51
whatever. Amen.
1:19:53
Keep your beautiful hands lifted, Father.
1:19:54
Thank you for this. Once the Bible says as many who
1:19:58
will come to you, you will in no wise castaway they have come
1:20:01
declaring your lordship. I speak the blessing upon you,
1:20:04
and in the name of Jesus I call you bona fide recipients of the
1:20:08
life of God. The grace to live the victorious
1:20:11
Christian life I release upon you.
1:20:13
And I pray that from today you go forward ever and backward
1:20:17
never in Jesus name, Amen. Please let me request that you
1:20:22
look to my left. That will be your right from
1:20:25
where you're standing. There are counselors who have
1:20:27
been trained to have a word and a quick prayer with you.
1:20:30
Thereafter you'll be back to your seats.
1:20:32
Please do cooperate with them. Let's celebrate them as they go.
1:20:34
Everyone in concert to my left, that will be your right.
1:20:38
Keep clapping, keep clapping, keep clapping, keep clapping.
1:20:49
Don't stop clapping until the last person leaves.
1:21:06
God bless you. Don't stop clapping.
1:21:09
They are still going. Don't stop clapping.
1:21:12
Don't stop clapping. Don't stop clapping.
1:21:23
Are you still clapping? South Africa, Give Jesus a big
1:21:27
hand clap. Celebrate salvation.
1:21:39
Let's go sacrifice without you all.
1:21:40
Please give me. Love me no leave without you no
1:21:53
come without the truth. Let's no sacrifice without you
1:21:59
all. Please give me.
1:22:10

1:22:20
somebody singing to Jesus. There's no sacrifice without
1:22:29
your blood. All these you.
1:22:33

Without you. No problem.
1:23:26

1:23:47
There's no sacrifice. There's no sacrifice.
