• 0:39
  I honor a great man of God. Dr olumid Manuel,
• 0:42
  God bless you. Thank you so much, the Lord, honor you,
• 0:46
  dear wife family. In Jesus' name, I pray Hallelujah. Who
• 0:54
  is like you Lord? And all dear much? Less love,
• 1:03
  beauty and less work.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Nothing in this world can satisfied. Jesus, You're the cop
• 1:21
  go round drive, treasure of my heart and not my soul.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: In my weakness. You are persciful.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Redeemer of my past and present, wrong, holder of my
• 1:53
  future days to come.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: And go by days under. I will love wait the
• 2:07
  moment that I see you face to face for nothing
• 2:16
  in this world, said Finn Gesus.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: You're the comtat rata, Your path.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: These to be.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Vasha Kaaaa, your path, easy.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Spirit of the Living God. Were gathered tonight to encounter
• 3:02
  your grace, to encounter Jesus. We have come to obtain
• 3:07
  the grace that makes for advancement. I pray in the
• 3:12
  name of Jesus that you will bless us in no
• 3:14
  small way tonight, and let the name of Jesus be glorified.
• 3:20
  For in Jesus' name, I pray God bless you. Please
• 3:25
  be seated. We rise in this kingdom on the strength
• 3:37
  of the light that we access. It takes more than
• 3:41
  a desire to advance, to go forward, It takes more
• 3:45
  than a well intentioned desire. It takes light in this kingdom.
• 3:55
  It is the light that you access that paves the
• 3:59
  way for you into a life of exploits and a
• 4:04
  life of greatness. And made that light come over someone
• 4:07
  tonight in the name of Jesus. You know. One of
• 4:13
  the reasons why I love to teach the Word of
• 4:15
  God is because the Word of God, among the many
• 4:19
  things that it is and it does, is that the
• 4:22
  Word of God defines the boundary of God's commitment to
• 4:25
  the believer. God as mighty as he is, cannot be
• 4:31
  committed to the believer outside of the scope and the
• 4:36
  provision that the world allows. That means if you cannot
• 4:40
  find it in scripture, God is not committed to make
• 4:46
  it happen in your life. It is how he designed
• 4:51
  this system to work. That He has even honored his
• 4:54
  word above his office and above his reputation. So every
• 4:59
  time the Word of God comes, it is not one
• 5:02
  of the many aspects of the service. It is a
• 5:05
  very important aspect of the service. Because when the word
• 5:09
  of God comes. I may have said it here that
• 5:12
  the word of God is like a tree. If you
• 5:14
  look at this right here, this is holding a cup
• 5:17
  of water. So if you see someone coming to you
• 5:20
  with a tree, you begin to rejoice because the tray
• 5:24
  carries something on it. Ultimately, you want to enjoy what
• 5:29
  is on the tray, but you cannot enjoy what is
• 5:32
  on the tray until you can hold a tree. Is
• 5:35
  that true? So when the word of God is coming
• 5:37
  to you, you have to understand that the word of
• 5:39
  God is like a spiritual trae. It comes with it,
• 5:43
  you're lifting your next level, new anointing, your healing, new grace.
• 5:50
  So when you embrace the world, you have also demonstrated
• 5:55
  your commitment to embrace everything that comes with the word
• 5:59
  and made the Lord help us. Tonight in Jesus' name,
• 6:03
  I prayed and solved the Lord for what to share.
• 6:09
  I've always been very intentional, but I think I'm growing
• 6:12
  again to be very intentional about the things that I share.
• 6:17
  Number One, I only teach the things that I believe,
• 6:20
  and number two, I truly teach for transformation and for impact.
• 6:26
  At the back of the things that I teach, I
• 6:29
  desire not just for people to see and appreciate the
• 6:33
  depth of the truth, the dexterity of the communication. More
• 6:37
  than that, My desire and my drive is to see
• 6:41
  that every time God gives me an opportunity to bring
• 6:43
  truth to God's people, that it is communicated in a
• 6:46
  way that they are able to receive it, and that
• 6:49
  it produces results in their lives. Allelujah, Praise the Lord.
• 6:57
  So in line with the team, I want to teach
• 6:59
  on what I title the Prize for New Dimensions, the
• 7:06
  Prize for New Dimensions. Believe me, this teaching will bless you.
• 7:11
  For many of us, we probably at the end of
• 7:15
  certain faces in our lives, and we're trusting God for more,
• 7:19
  greater horizons, greater dimensions of exploits in ministry, in business,
• 7:25
  there are keys that make for these kinds of results,
• 7:28
  and it is important that we access through knowledge the
• 7:32
  keys that make for new dimensions. Allelujah. The teaching seeks
• 7:38
  to supply us the spiritual truths that would help us
• 7:42
  contend for growth, to maintain impact and relevance as far
• 7:49
  as our destinies and concern three scriptures, and then God
• 7:55
  would open our eyes to a few things tonight in
• 7:59
  the name of Jesus Philippians chapter three, who start from
• 8:04
  verse twelve to fourteen. Philippians, chapter three. Not as though
• 8:11
  I had already attained either were already perfect. But I
• 8:18
  follow after if that I may apprehend that for which
• 8:23
  I am apprehended of Jesus Christ. Thirteen brethren, I count
• 8:30
  not myself to have apprehended, he says, But this one
• 8:35
  thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and
• 8:40
  reaching forth onto the things which are before. Fourteen I
• 8:45
  press someone, profess, I say I press one more time,
• 8:49
  say I press. I press towards the mark for the
• 8:54
  price of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus
• 9:00
  Scripture number two, first Corinthians eight and verse two very
• 9:08
  interesting challenging and instructive scripture. Can we read together? Ready
• 9:13
  want to read? And if any man think that he
• 9:17
  knowed anything, he knowed nothing yet as he ought to know.
• 9:24
  One more time, and if any man think that he
• 9:28
  knowed anything, he knowed nothing yet as he ought to know, Allelujah,
• 9:41
  just like the Man of God was sharing. I have seen,
• 9:47
  by the privilege of God's grace, I have seen people
• 9:51
  make impact in ministry, impact in career, in business. I
• 9:59
  have seen people who rise mightily, so mightily used by God.
• 10:05
  But the surprising thing is as frequent as I have
• 10:09
  seen people who rise, I have also seen people fall.
• 10:14
  And I have seen others who did not fall but
• 10:16
  stop rising. I have seen people plat two at dimensions,
• 10:22
  accessing the anointing, the prophetic, the gifts of the spirit, ministry, growth, finances.
• 10:29
  There are two dangers that the Bible wants about. Number
• 10:33
  one is retrogression. Number two is to plot two and
• 10:38
  to limit yourself at a level. There are many people
• 10:42
  who believe that just because you are not going down,
• 10:45
  it means that is the best of you. The Bible
• 10:48
  declares that the path of the just, that the path
• 10:52
  of the just is as a shining light that shines
• 10:56
  ever brighter, even onto the perfect. So so many people
• 11:03
  are not able to make sustainable advancement, and the reason
• 11:08
  is because many have neglected some of the truths that
• 11:11
  you'll be learning. Others may have been ignorant of some
• 11:16
  or even all of this truth. And so conferences like
• 11:19
  this number one would challenge those who have gone down
• 11:22
  to show you that there is a road map. The
• 11:26
  Bible says, rejoice not over me, my enemies, that though
• 11:30
  I fall, I will arise. Elevation is still a possibility
• 11:34
  in this kingdom. That no matter how low, nobody can
• 11:37
  get lower than Jesus went down to Hades, yet he
• 11:41
  came up again and is exalted at the highest position.
• 11:45
  That already is a pattern for us that no matter
• 11:48
  how low you get, there is a power, That same
• 11:51
  power that raised Christ from right where he was and
• 11:54
  took him and elevated him for someone, that same power
• 11:58
  is lifting you from where you are to where you
• 12:01
  need to be in the name of Jesus Christ, allelujah.
• 12:06
  And then for those who have plat twoed at a level,
• 12:11
  now please listen, let me teach you something upfront. We
• 12:14
  advance in this kingdom by light and life is in
• 12:20
  faces and dimensions. That means the dimension of light you
• 12:25
  need to access Stage A or A level in your
• 12:29
  life may not necessarily be the only dimension of light
• 12:34
  and truth you will need to access another level. Let
• 12:37
  me tell you what limitations are. Limitations are a letter
• 12:41
  from your future telling you I am there, but your
• 12:45
  current level of knowledge cannot take you there. Are we together?
• 12:50
  When you face limitations that inhibit your progress, see them
• 12:54
  as letters from your future coming to you to verify
• 12:59
  that that future. Sure your desire is actually there, but
• 13:02
  this current version of you cannot go there. So when
• 13:10
  you start out in life, the level of knowledge that
• 13:14
  brings you to Level A or Stage A spiritually, financially, ministerially,
• 13:19
  and otherwise, you will need more than that to shift
• 13:23
  to a new season. Now, the challenge is that most people,
• 13:27
  they stop learning and they stop opening up themselves to
• 13:31
  new superior dimensions of truth. And you will find out
• 13:35
  that even though they may not backslide, they plot two
• 13:38
  at a level and it is dangerous. It is dangerous
• 13:45
  for your yesterday to look better than your today. Allelujah,
• 13:51
  are we learning? I want to share with us two
• 13:58
  kids that have learned as a p for new dimensions
• 14:03
  and it's a charge, and then will pray, and I
• 14:06
  trust that God will grant us grace, even if it's
• 14:08
  in a few minutes, to just pray. While I was
• 14:11
  at the office, I heard the Man of God just
• 14:15
  speaking and prophesying and declaring, and for me, I think
• 14:20
  that you will be good to just follow along that
• 14:22
  line to also speak of our lives when we're done,
• 14:25
  praise the name of the Lord. One of the ways
• 14:34
  that the Lord helps us to grow and to access
• 14:37
  light in the kingdom is to personify his thoughts and
• 14:42
  his intents using men. That means it is consistent with
• 14:47
  God's character that every time God wants to establish a
• 14:52
  modus operandi that means a pathway to achieving certain things spiritually,
• 14:57
  he will usually find a man and then model that
• 15:02
  part with that man and keep that man as a
• 15:05
  reference as his recommendation that every time you want to
• 15:09
  access that dimension, you study that individual. For instance, every
• 15:15
  time you want to study on encounters, you want to
• 15:19
  know God, you want to press towards the things of God.
• 15:22
  The biblical figure that is recommended is the man Jacob.
• 15:28
  Jacob is God's idea of the protocol towards an encounter,
• 15:33
  how that he encountered the Lord. You see that in
• 15:37
  Genesis twenty eighth. Then in Genesis thirty two, the Bible
• 15:40
  records is failure, records the consequences for his failing to
• 15:45
  discern the Lord's presence, and then now records an opportunity
• 15:49
  that God gave him again, and how that he wrestled
• 15:52
  with that man to a point that God named that
• 15:54
  dimension after Jacob. He calls himself the God of Jacob.
• 15:59
  He says, who shall, as say to the heel of
• 16:00
  the Lord, and who shall stand in his holy place,
• 16:04
  He that hath clean hands and a pure heart, who
• 16:06
  has not lifted up his soul onto vanity nor sworn deceitfully.
• 16:10
  He says that he will receive a blessing from the
• 16:13
  Lord and righteousness from the God of his Salvation. Then
• 16:16
  he says, this is the generation of them that seek
• 16:20
  your face or Jacob. King James says, the original translation
• 16:25
  is O God of Jacob. That means we seek your
• 16:28
  face after the pattern of Jacob. Away together when you
• 16:34
  want to study on prevailing prayer, the kind of prayer
• 16:38
  that produces results. The individual that personifies that dimension is
• 16:43
  Elijah James Chapter five. When you read from verse Datini
• 16:47
  begins by saying that the pavant is any man afflicted.
• 16:52
  He said, let him pray, he says, let him call
• 16:54
  upon the elders. And then he says, the pavant effectual
• 16:58
  prayer of the righteous man a vailed much. But he
• 17:02
  does not leave us in the dark. He announ says Elijah.
• 17:06
  That means, this is my idea of favent effectual prayer.
• 17:10
  Elijah was a man of like passion, just as we are.
• 17:14
  But he accessed certain keys and he prayed that there
• 17:18
  be no rain for a period of three and a
• 17:20
  half years. And to show you he was not trying,
• 17:23
  he engaged that same principle again. Again means mastery. When
• 17:29
  you do something again, you have gained mystery. And the
• 17:32
  Bible says he that strives for mastery is not crowned
• 17:36
  except his strifes. Lawfully are we learning now? There are
• 17:43
  individuals who are God's idea. When God wants to caution you,
• 17:48
  he can use certain individuals. For instance, remember Lord's wife.
• 17:54
  There is a lesson. Instead of telling you the whole lesson,
• 17:57
  it just tells you take note of this woman. If
• 18:00
  you understudy the woman in that study is the lesson.
• 18:04
  God's idea of what it means to be blessed in
• 18:07
  the kingdom is personified in the man Abraham away together
• 18:12
  he called an idol worshiper from all of the Childians,
• 18:16
  and began to give him instructions from Genesis chapter twelve.
• 18:20
  In fact, that destiny was supposed to be for his
• 18:23
  father Terror, but he could not make it. He did
• 18:25
  not meet the requirements. And God would call Abraham and
• 18:29
  now began to tell him that if you follow in
• 18:32
  keeping with what I'm giving you, I will bless you
• 18:35
  this and that would happen to you. In you will
• 18:38
  all the families be blessed. Hallelujah. By the time you
• 18:43
  study Abraham, we get to Isaac chapter fifty one. From
• 18:46
  verse one and two, particularly verse two, it says, look
• 18:49
  onto Abraham, your father, and to Sarah that bore you,
• 18:54
  for I called him alone, keyword alone. I didn't call
• 18:58
  him with wealthy, didn't call him with wisdom. I call
• 19:01
  him alone. So find out how wealth came to his life.
• 19:05
  Find out how wisdom came to his life. It says
• 19:08
  I called him alone and blessed him and increased him Allelujah.
• 19:16
  Are we learning now? Yes? So you see that all
• 19:20
  through Scripture you find individuals who represent the thoughts of
• 19:27
  God as touching certain areas. Every time we look at
• 19:31
  a lesson from a daughter, if I ask you who
• 19:34
  in the Bible is your lesson for doubting God, you
• 19:37
  would shout Thomas without even if you are not serious spiritually,
• 19:40
  you may shout Thomas because for some reason that individual.
• 19:46
  So this is how it is in scripture. One of
• 19:48
  the ways that we study Scripture is to look at
• 19:51
  men who have passed through a process and at the
• 19:55
  end of their lives, they did not just get results.
• 19:59
  They became God's idea of that pathway. That means in
• 20:04
  studying them you can learn the pathway that leads to
• 20:07
  that result. And right now we want to study one
• 20:10
  person in the Bible who gives us an idea of
• 20:15
  the price it takes for a new dimension, a price
• 20:19
  it takes to go forward. Are you ready? Georges chapter six,
• 20:24
  were studying the man called Gideon. George's chapter six for reference.
• 20:39
  When you start from verse one, our full text is
• 20:42
  six and seven. The Bible says that the children of
• 20:44
  Israel did what was wrong in the sight of God,
• 20:47
  and then he handed them over to their enemies for
• 20:50
  a period of seven years. The Medians now, and they
• 20:53
  punished them, they tortured them. When you read on, a
• 20:56
  prophet came and began to speak, cautioning the people of God.
• 20:59
  Because that is usually God's pattern, that's how he leads
• 21:02
  men to repentance. We see that pattern consistent, especially in
• 21:06
  the Old Testament, that every time people forgot about God,
• 21:09
  he handed them over to their enemies for a period,
• 21:13
  and in the midst of their pain, he will send
• 21:15
  the prophet to tell them, this is why this is happening. Now,
• 21:18
  I leave you with an option, are you ready to
• 21:20
  repent or remain slaves? And they would come and say
• 21:23
  God were ready, then he would send a man to
• 21:26
  command deliverance for them. They will enjoy the blessings of obedience,
• 21:29
  then disobey again. Then the cycle repeats itself like that,
• 21:34
  are we together? Now? Let's start from verse eleven for
• 21:36
  sake of time. The Bible says, there came an angel
• 21:39
  of the Lord and sat under an oak, which was
• 21:44
  in offer that pertained onto Joash and all of that,
• 21:49
  and his son Gideon tresh Witt by the wine press
• 21:54
  to hide it from the media knights. Verse twelve. The
• 21:59
  Bible Says were reading to sixteen, and the Angel of
• 22:02
  the Lord appeared onto him and said unto him, the
• 22:05
  Lord is with thee, thou mighty man of value. And
• 22:10
  Gidion said unto him, Oh, my Lord. If the Lord
• 22:13
  be with us, why then is all this befallen us?
• 22:18
  And where be all his miracles which our fathers told us, saying,
• 22:23
  did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt? But
• 22:27
  now the Lord has forsaken us and delivered us into
• 22:30
  the hands of the Median knights. Fourteen. And the Lord
• 22:33
  looked upon him and said, go in this thy might,
• 22:38
  and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the
• 22:41
  Median Knites? Have I not sent thee? Fifteen? And he
• 22:45
  said unto him, Oh, my Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel? Behold,
• 22:53
  my family is poor in manner, say, and I am
• 22:57
  the least in my father's house. Last verse and the
• 23:00
  Lord said unto him, surely I will be with Thee,
• 23:04
  and thou shalt smite the Median Nights as one man.
• 23:09
  So here we see an encounter a young boy called
• 23:13
  Gideon threshing and hiding the products that he has from
• 23:18
  the Median knights, because they will usually come to bully
• 23:20
  them and collect everything. And an angel appears to him
• 23:24
  and begins to speak to him about his prophetic destiny.
• 23:28
  It is interesting to know that God never calls you
• 23:31
  by what you are or what you wear. He calls
• 23:33
  you by your prophetic destiny. He's seeing a man hiding
• 23:37
  and he says, thou mighty man of Velo, because he's
• 23:40
  in his character to call things that be not as
• 23:44
  though they were away together. Now, so the young Gideon,
• 23:48
  just like Jeremiah, is now complaining. Look at the understanding
• 23:53
  that kept that guy. You see, one of the reasons
• 23:56
  why they were slaves was not just that they were weak.
• 24:00
  There was an understanding that encouraged that slavery. And as
• 24:04
  soon as God approached him to talk to him listen
• 24:07
  to his complaint, he said, I am the least, and
• 24:11
  then I am from the least family. Don't come and
• 24:14
  flatter me with search and elaborate an ambitious agenda that
• 24:19
  I will go to save the nation of Israel from
• 24:22
  the media knites. And God encouraged him and he said, well,
• 24:27
  I have a problem. Our fathers once told us that
• 24:30
  they advanced, they did this, they conquered nations, they saw miracles.
• 24:35
  Why have we not seen this kind of thing? And
• 24:37
  he told him, going this your might. You know what
• 24:39
  he was telling him, He said, this ability to begin
• 24:43
  to probe into why the miracles top is strength for you.
• 24:47
  Don't stop thinking, don't stop pondering, start asking that question,
• 24:51
  because there is a secret in it. The might. There
• 24:55
  was his understanding, understanding, his might. It was not just
• 25:02
  an importation. It says, go in your might, I have
• 25:05
  seen that you sustained and not that kind of spirit
• 25:08
  because most of the people kept being slaves, not asking
• 25:12
  why the miracles stopped. They didn't ask why the miracles
• 25:15
  happen in the first place. So he's saying, Gideon, there
• 25:20
  is something happening to your understanding that is equal to might.
• 25:24
  You are propping into white things that were happening now stopped.
• 25:28
  Do you know most people do not have disgrace. This
• 25:32
  might of superior understanding. Even if you do not have results,
• 25:36
  The ability to start vetting why it's stopped and why
• 25:40
  it happened is power. Are wet you together? So you
• 25:47
  find out that in January every day was favor and
• 25:51
  then February it stops and you do not ask a question.
• 25:55
  The first question is why did it happen? The second
• 25:58
  question is why did it? Once upon a time in
• 26:03
  my life, everybody would call me and bless me. But
• 26:06
  now it looks like the same people are still around
• 26:09
  my vicinity. But no one seems to beckon on me
• 26:16
  in this day, mind the courage to ask questions, to say,
• 26:22
  our fathers told us. I've not forgotten. It is still
• 26:25
  in my memory that the time came in the history
• 26:28
  of Israel, they were invincible. Their enemies would see them
• 26:32
  and begin to shake because there was a hand that
• 26:35
  was with them. Why have we not seen it? He
• 26:40
  was asking the angel, I remember it's out of the
• 26:43
  abundance of the hearts that the mouth speaks. That means
• 26:45
  that as he was threshing in that weakness and that limitation,
• 26:49
  his mind was rejecting that level. He was asking a question,
• 26:53
  why am I like this? Can I tell you this?
• 26:58
  I'm sorry to say, but respectfully, it is one of
• 27:01
  the reasons why many people in Africa don't move forward.
• 27:05
  We don't ask questions, why am I like this? No favor,
• 27:09
  no grace? Why is ministry not growing? Why is my
• 27:14
  spiritual life not growing. Can I tell you one of
• 27:17
  the most superior knowledge that you can have is how
• 27:27
  to learn what you don't know, how to find out
• 27:33
  and how to learn what you do not know, how
• 27:36
  to ask the questions that bring the right answers. Most
• 27:41
  believers accept statuscore and give it some superstitious explanation. Well,
• 27:48
  I'm sure God just wants it to be that way.
• 27:50
  All well, I'm sure it's the devil, But that in
• 27:53
  itself is not enough answer. Are we together? I just thought,
• 27:58
  this is not even what I'm talking about. I just
• 28:00
  thought to draw a lesson. I didn't want to just
• 28:02
  allow the issue of Gideon to pass because many of
• 28:05
  us here seated looking at me. You once heard my
• 28:08
  grandfather was a wealthy man. He was a blessed man.
• 28:12
  He was the greatest in the village. But now the
• 28:15
  family is the poorest, and no one you have not
• 28:18
  accessed that might that give you on her to ask questions?
• 28:21
  What did he do that made the results happen? What
• 28:24
  did he stop doing that made the results stop? What
• 28:30
  was I doing that made me so powerful that my
• 28:35
  spiritual life kept growing from level to level? I could
• 28:39
  it was palpable that I was growing. The Bible said,
• 28:44
  how shall we escape if we neglect carelessness? So great
• 28:49
  a salvation. Many people who fail do not ask what
• 28:57
  they are doing or not doing. Many people who succeed
• 29:00
  short term don't study their results. They only celebrate it.
• 29:05
  Can I tell you this celebrating success without thoroughly understanding
• 29:10
  the dynamics around it, You are only implicating yourself for casualty.
• 29:17
  And it is painful to one's what's there. It is
• 29:20
  painful to one's rejoice. It is painful to one's taste
• 29:24
  of the grace of God? Are you learning something tonight?
• 29:28
  So when it said going up your might, most people think, oh,
• 29:32
  some importation has happened. The minds there is not yet
• 29:35
  an anointing. No, the mind's there is the construct, the
• 29:40
  understanding that courage un fortitude to start probing. What took
• 29:45
  the presence of God away from you? Gideon? What took
• 29:49
  the presence away from the nation of Israel? How could
• 29:53
  God's covenant people? These guys didn't need to lift a
• 29:57
  finger for Jericho to go down the media nights we're
• 30:02
  oppressing them and give you on her to hide. The
• 30:05
  Angel said, you've gotten a key. Don't lose it, and
• 30:09
  God is handing that key over to someone tonight. What
• 30:12
  is the key? Listen? What is the key? The courage
• 30:15
  to probe into why results are happening or why results
• 30:19
  are not happening, Whether you are succeeding or failing, Both
• 30:22
  of them deserve your study. What am I doing that
• 30:27
  is making my promotion happen every year? Don't just say
• 30:31
  thank God, promotion is happening. No, what am I doing?
• 30:36
  Can I tell you this? When your results come by mastery,
• 30:39
  you do not fear again. It is possible that you
• 30:44
  can activate laws the loss of the kingdom and the
• 30:48
  loss of the spirit, and in truth, by luck, you
• 30:52
  can access something that works and then you find out
• 30:56
  that it does not work again. Conferences like this bring
• 30:59
  us to a point of mastery where you can defend
• 31:02
  your result with your understanding. Before you graduate a student
• 31:07
  from a college of education or a university, usually there
• 31:11
  is something called a defense Is that true? Where he
• 31:14
  comes before a parliament and they try to vet and
• 31:18
  prove into his understanding. So far doesn't matter the topic.
• 31:23
  They are not necessarily just looking at the topic of discussion,
• 31:26
  his acumen, his understanding, his ability to act you out.
• 31:30
  In defense of the degree or whatever certification he want
• 31:33
  to have, and on the strength of what he demonstrates,
• 31:37
  they can now say no, you are qualified. Life will
• 31:41
  ask you, what makes you think you will be anointed
• 31:45
  for thirty years? You can enjoy your anointing for two
• 31:48
  years while it lasts. What makes you believe that in
• 31:50
  the next ten years you will still be relevant in ministry?
• 31:54
  What gives you the audacity to believe people who still
• 31:57
  place a demand on your life going this day? Might
• 32:03
  the ability to probe into white things happen and the
• 32:07
  ability to probe into white things don't happen. You go
• 32:11
  and radio Bible in the earthwork of Jesus. Every time
• 32:15
  people came and asking questions, he respected them radio Bible.
• 32:19
  Whether it was the woman at the well, whether it
• 32:23
  was John chapter three. I hope you know it was
• 32:26
  this probing that better the scripture we use for salvation
• 32:29
  now for God's soul of the world. He started as
• 32:32
  a man's asking a question. Nicodemus came to Jesus by
• 32:36
  night John three and verse one. He said, Rabbi, we
• 32:39
  know that dou at a man sent from God. For
• 32:42
  no man can do these signs, and one does except
• 32:46
  God be with him. And then Jesus said, now that
• 32:51
  you've gotten my attention, let me begin to talk to
• 32:54
  you very liverly. I say on to you, accept a
• 32:56
  man be born again. Then he asked another question the
• 33:00
  woman at the well. She began to ask the question,
• 33:03
  and he answered, because the seed for an answer is
• 33:06
  a question. There is no reason why you should have
• 33:09
  an answer if you're not asking a question. For as
• 33:15
  long as you are not asking why your life is
• 33:17
  where it is, For as long as you are not
• 33:20
  asking why you are making tremendous impact. Before you celebrate results,
• 33:26
  be sure you can reproduce it. In my opinion, one
• 33:30
  of all the dominion instructions that were given to man,
• 33:34
  more than being fruitful, the most powerful for me is replenish.
• 33:39
  Replenishes where true authority and masterlives the ability to produce
• 33:45
  that result again and again and again and again and again.
• 33:53
  Are we learning? So he comes to Gideon, and Gideon
• 33:59
  mixing with a question, why is my life like this?
• 34:03
  You are giving me a command, and you are telling
• 34:07
  me that I'm going to be a great warrior. I
• 34:11
  will bring down the Medianites and command salvation for God's people.
• 34:17
  But why are we like this, And the Angel said,
• 34:19
  keep asking, because you see there is a law. And
• 34:22
  when Jesus came, he opened us up to that law.
• 34:25
  The law is found in Matthew chapter seven, from verse eight.
• 34:28
  For everyone that asked received, everyone not preachers. Every one
• 34:36
  that asked received. He that secret, find it and to
• 34:42
  him that knocked Lord, why is favor not working in
• 34:46
  my life? Saskati Balakata Prohaps eighteen, verse one. Through desire,
• 34:52
  a man haven't separated himself. The Bible says his secret
• 34:57
  and intermedleth with all wisdom. Most people would be out
• 35:04
  of their problems if only they understood this mysterious secret
• 35:09
  in the kingdom, to ask why things are not working?
• 35:17
  Why are those closing for me? Why do I come
• 35:21
  to church? And the same prophetic world comes on everybody,
• 35:24
  But some re come back with testimonies, and others sit
• 35:28
  down and say, the world is not working. Why. I
• 35:39
  ask a lot of questions. I ask God, I ask
• 35:45
  men there are alive, because in that ability to inquire,
• 35:53
  you will find secrets, secrets that make for your continuity,
• 35:59
  secrets that guarantee your stability. According to Isaiah thirty three,
• 36:03
  it is wisdom and knowledge that becomes stabilizers of a
• 36:08
  man's time and his destiny. If someone learning already, you're
• 36:13
  going to pray right now over yourself for the grace
• 36:17
  to ask questions and continue to ask those questions until
• 36:22
  answers come. Go ahead and pray in one minute. Why
• 36:27
  am I not working in the dimension of the anointing
• 36:32
  that I desire? Why is ministry not growing? Why is
• 36:38
  my finances going down? What happened in January that brought
• 36:45
  me favor and now we match the favor seems to
• 36:48
  have ended. And for those of you who are doing well,
• 36:51
  what am I doing, by God and by grace that
• 36:54
  is producing the results that I now enjoy? Can I
• 36:58
  reproduce it? Can I bring others into that experience? Allelujah? Allelujah?
• 37:15
  Now you understand the preceding scriptures that we started with,
• 37:20
  He said, I do not claim to have apprehended yet
• 37:24
  Philippi and chapter three from verse twelve. How could Paul
• 37:27
  say that? Do you know the level of Paul's understanding?
• 37:31
  When you read efficient chapter three, Beginning from verse three,
• 37:35
  Paul makes the defense of his spiritual intelligence. He says, Listen,
• 37:40
  I didn't just lend this thing. I was initiated. Efficients
• 37:45
  three three. I was called into a fellowship of the mystery,
• 37:49
  is like an initiation into a body of truth. How
• 37:55
  that by revelation he made known onto me the mystery
• 37:59
  as a written in few words. Verse four. He said,
• 38:02
  so that when you read you may understand my knowledge
• 38:07
  in the mystery of Christ. That means, don't be surprised
• 38:11
  at the level the depth of my spiritual communication. I
• 38:14
  was drawn in by grace into a fellowship. It's like
• 38:18
  an initiation into a body of understanding. And yet that's
• 38:23
  the same man who is saying, I do not claim
• 38:26
  to have known anything. Ah. He said this one thing
• 38:33
  I do. I forget the things that are behind. He
• 38:36
  never said I forget the failures that I'm behind. Failure
• 38:40
  is not the only thing you need to forget. We're
• 38:44
  getting there. But now let me just run quickly because
• 38:47
  I want us to pray. Let's study the life of
• 38:52
  Gideon and learn a lesson or two that will help
• 38:56
  us tonight, and God will grant us grace. Are you
• 38:59
  ready to learn now? Georges seven, Verse one, someone's life
• 39:06
  is changing in the name of Jesus. Then Jerobal, who
• 39:12
  is Gideon, and all the people that were with him,
• 39:16
  rose up early and pitched. Now, let me explain the
• 39:20
  context for you. When God was done working with Gideon,
• 39:24
  he sustained the courage, and the Bible says he blusted
• 39:26
  a chauffeur. When Gideon blasted the chauffeur, tatty three thousand
• 39:31
  people came and were together. Now that was the man
• 39:34
  who was once weak and mediocre. Now he had the
• 39:39
  courage to call that chauffeur, and tatty three thousand people came.
• 39:44
  And the Bible says that all those people came and
• 39:47
  met him by the valley verse two. But was two
• 39:51
  very quickly, and the Lord said on to Gideon, the
• 39:54
  people that are with thee are too many for me
• 39:58
  to give the media nights into their hands. Why less
• 40:03
  Israel bound themselves against me, saying my own hand had
• 40:07
  saved me. Now follow very carefully. There are two principal tests,
• 40:14
  and they also represent the price you must pay if
• 40:18
  you want to make progress. Test number one, this was
• 40:23
  the test that was going to reduce the people. Let's
• 40:26
  find out what qualified the three hundred out of thirty
• 40:30
  three thousand. What happened that three hundred were left and
• 40:34
  they were the only ones who went and conquered. Are
• 40:37
  you ready Test number one? That's three. Now therefore Gotto
• 40:42
  proclaiming the years of the people, saying, whoever is fearful
• 40:49
  and afraid, let him return and depart early from Mount
• 40:55
  Gilead and their return. How many people, my Goodness and
• 41:04
  my God believe us, our students of scripture, that out
• 41:09
  of thirty three thousand people who came, twenty two thousand
• 41:14
  were in fear. And he said, listen, don't frustrate our journey.
• 41:19
  So we give you a chance. Now. If you don't
• 41:21
  believe in your destiny enough, if you are not convinced
• 41:25
  that it is worth giving you all, I give you
• 41:27
  a chance. Go back, ladies and gentlemen. How many went
• 41:30
  back twenty and two thousand, and there remain. I understand
• 41:38
  that God spoke to you, and you wrote the vision,
• 41:41
  and he told you you will be shaking the nations.
• 41:44
  I understand that he told you. When you had that
• 41:47
  so far, he said, blow the trumpet in zion. I
• 41:51
  know that you have come out. But just because you
• 41:54
  showed up to honor that sound does not mean you
• 41:57
  will get there. Test but one is the test of courage.
• 42:04
  It takes courage. Hear me. The first price it takes
• 42:09
  to be a trailblazer, to be consistent, to weary limitations
• 42:14
  till you win, is the price of courage. Courage is
• 42:19
  derived from conviction. Listen carefully. Courage is not outsourced. It
• 42:25
  is generated. One more time. Courage is not outsourced, It
• 42:31
  is generated, generated from a conviction. God is speaking to
• 42:38
  someone already, the Lord said, onto Gideon, the people are
• 42:44
  too many. Please go to verse three. Let's just stay
• 42:49
  at verse three. God is speaking to someone. Now, your
• 42:55
  family members, they seem too many. Who will rise from
• 42:59
  there and break? I know you come from a crown
• 43:02
  of five thousand people. And just because a family meeting
• 43:05
  was hell, don't make a mistake of believing that everybody
• 43:09
  who came there intends to get to the other side.
• 43:13
  Past number one. Who is here that will not be fearful?
• 43:17
  Who is here that will not be afraid? He said,
• 43:20
  whosoever is fearful and afraid, let him return and return, Ellie,
• 43:28
  don't waste our time. And the Bible says twenty two
• 43:33
  thousand people. For God's sake, they said, Videon were returning.
• 43:38
  Remember the dream God showed you. I'm still returning. Remember
• 43:41
  you've come too far you left your house. I'm still returning.
• 43:49
  Can I tell you many have returned in ministry, many
• 43:54
  have returned in business, Many have returned. Over their health,
• 43:58
  many have returned. I'm here to encourage someone past this test.
• 44:03
  If it is hold on, hold on, hold on. Before
• 44:06
  I pray for you, you have to know that there
• 44:08
  are tests you must go through. You may not like
• 44:12
  what I'm teaching you, but if it's advancement you intend
• 44:15
  to have, there is a test behind. Every genuine result
• 44:20
  you see is a testament of endurance and courage. Make
• 44:25
  no mistake to think the anointing just came and moved people.
• 44:28
  Ah ah, Before the anointing came, you know the audacity
• 44:32
  takes to position yourself to defy the crowd, defy opinions.
• 44:39
  We live in a world that does not respect the
• 44:41
  sacrifices of people, the stamina and the staining power. The
• 44:45
  man of God is just lucky. The business man I
• 44:48
  think he was just lucky. Do you know the pain
• 44:51
  and the tears? No body wins your Olympic by mistake. No,
• 44:55
  you can get to the field by mistake. Please listen
• 45:04
  carefully because God is speaking to you. The test of
• 45:09
  courage Deteronomy, Chapter twenty. Le's for your someone's life must
• 45:14
  changed this night. The first four verses deu Tonomy twenty.
• 45:20
  When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies and
• 45:24
  see us horses and chariots, and if people more than thou,
• 45:30
  he says, be not afraid of them, for the Lord
• 45:34
  that God is with thee hold on. You would think
• 45:38
  that that God would take away the chariots, he said,
• 45:41
  I'm with you. Go You will still see chariots, You
• 45:43
  will still see horses, You will still see people more
• 45:47
  than you, Oh devid. When you see the size of
• 45:50
  go Liad, don't be afraid. Remember the one that is
• 45:53
  with you. Forget about the size of the adversary.
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: Alasada kaa shula has capti brandgada or someone is ready
• 46:07
  to shake the devil will make you focus on the
• 46:10
  egypt shanks, focus on chariots, and for God, We're not
• 46:14
  with you, he said, away, hold.
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: On, hold on, look up. Please please say to them,
• 46:19
  look at me. The only way to see horses and
• 46:23
  chariots is when you go out to battle, not when
• 46:27
  you stay in the college. To even go out is
• 46:31
  why you will see adversaries. Can I tell you. There
• 46:34
  are people who it looks like they don't have challenges.
• 46:37
  It's not that the devil is not attaching them. It's
• 46:40
  that they themselves have not even taken the first step
• 46:43
  of courage to their destiny, the act. How did you
• 46:50
  know there are altars fighting you? It's not when you
• 46:53
  made a commitment that I will be different. The altars
• 46:57
  had you. They said, we stopped your father, will stop
• 47:00
  your grandmother. Who is this man who is rising like
• 47:03
  a red Check him out of fire, alas a brander
• 47:13
  who when you go out to battle, it is not
• 47:20
  unusual to find forces that are greater than you. No,
• 47:24
  that's sickness in your body, those pills. You stand and
• 47:29
  you make up your mind that everybody lived in a
• 47:33
  rented apartment forever. But in the name of Jesus, I
• 47:36
  will build. And you ask how much can I buy
• 47:39
  a house? And they tell you thirty million? And you
• 47:42
  check your account and see that you have four thousands.
• 47:45
  You love about yourself, feeling like a fool. Remember the
• 47:50
  jealousy of God is standing by you to defend you.
• 47:54
  Please sit down, and it shall be when ye come
• 48:02
  nigh onto the battle, he said, the priests shall approach
• 48:07
  and speak to the people who are ready to fall,
• 48:10
  and shall say unto them, here or covenant people, ye
• 48:17
  approach this day onto battle against your enemies. Let not
• 48:21
  your hearts faint, fear not, and do not tremble, neither
• 48:27
  be ye terrified of them. Why verse four. For the
• 48:31
  Lord your God is he that go with before you,
• 48:37
  to fight for you against your enemies and save you.
• 48:46
  Can I tell you, ask any man of God that
• 48:49
  you respect, ask your man of God coming here. Look. Look,
• 48:55
  let me tell you. The stories of men are the
• 48:58
  exploits of cost reach. In the midst of praying. There
• 49:05
  are people today. They were told they would not survive
• 49:07
  certain things. They refuse that I would not die. They
• 49:12
  saw that again and again. I have a choice, but
• 49:16
  I've made up my mind no way. There are people
• 49:21
  who refuse. When one dog closes, they don't have time morning,
• 49:26
  they force another one to open. Listen. We live in
• 49:31
  a world where people who find pleasure just to find mediocrity,
• 49:35
  and they sit down there and use very justifiable reasons
• 49:39
  to remain there. They destroyed our house in two thousand
• 49:43
  and seven. That's why I don't have a house till now.
• 49:46
  It looks like an obvious answer, but it's not the
• 49:49
  right one. Please listen carefully, God is speaking to us.
• 49:56
  Test number one is the test of courage. Someone shouts
• 50:01
  and saying the name of Jesus, I can't cave share
• 50:07
  the shell opinions, the shell failure, the show of the past,
• 50:13
  the shell of the future. Turnything to prayer right now,
• 50:16
  turn itthing to prayer right now. Shot at proctor, in
• 50:20
  the name of Jesus. I can't cave share. I can't
• 50:28
  cave share shellf am I tomorrow shell form my destiny.
• 50:33
  The Lord is with me, standing by me like a
• 50:37
  mighty terrible one to me in the name of Jesus.
• 50:53
  In the name of Jesus, yousonometer to one. Let's hurry up,
• 50:58
  pleasen down. Someone's it is firing of this night. Deu
• 51:02
  tuonometery one from verse six to eight. Listen. By the
• 51:05
  time I'm don't teaching you, believe me, a grace will
• 51:09
  come on your life this night. You will walk out
• 51:11
  of this place knowing that you encounter the grace of
• 51:14
  God in reality. Be strong and of a good courage.
• 51:20
  Feare not not be afraid of them. For the Lord,
• 51:24
  thy God, He it is that dog, go weet with you.
• 51:29
  He will not fail thee nor forsake THEE verse seven
• 51:32
  were into eight, and Moses called out Joshua and said,
• 51:36
  unto him, in the sight of all Israel, be strong
• 51:41
  and of good courage, for dolmost go with these people
• 51:45
  onto the land which the Lord has sworn onto your father,
• 51:48
  to keep them, and thou shalt cause them to inherit
• 51:52
  it verse eight. And the Lord he it is that
• 51:56
  go wet before you. He will be with you, and
• 52:00
  he will not fail thee neither for sakety share not
• 52:04
  neither be dismayed. Please look up whenever God speaks to
• 52:09
  you about your future. God does not talk to men
• 52:13
  like he's talking to men. God talks to men like
• 52:16
  he's talking to himself. One of the ways you will
• 52:21
  know is God speaking is because when God gives you
• 52:24
  a destiny instruction, he will even start by saying, fear not,
• 52:29
  because the size of what you will tell you there
• 52:32
  is no logic, and you will feel stupid for believing
• 52:35
  in him. There are many times you would regret training
• 52:41
  your ears to hear God because the excuse you would
• 52:44
  have used now you can't say it's not Him that
• 52:47
  spoke to you that God speaks to you and tells
• 52:50
  you in your lifetime, I will use you to build
• 52:53
  a house for all your tatein brothers. And he said, God,
• 52:56
  don't flatter me, just tell me I will succeed. I
• 52:58
  will pay my school fee. Us. At the time God
• 53:01
  is speaking, you are hoping you are still twenty percent
• 53:05
  gathering the money for your rent. I told you that
• 53:09
  God does not speak sympathizing with your current situation. He
• 53:13
  speaks as touching your destiny. When he finds you hiding
• 53:16
  it does not say, oh thou hiding one. He says,
• 53:19
  oh down, man of valor. The same way God is
• 53:22
  saying someone who is weak and saying, oh thou prophet.
• 53:25
  Do you not know that that grace and that function
• 53:28
  of the prophetic is on you? And you are saying, God,
• 53:30
  don't flatter me. The prophetic not. But everybody was, and
• 53:35
  I don't watch it by my family. The test of courage,
• 53:41
  whoever is fearful go back? Twenty two thousand people, sir
• 53:49
  went back. Let's continue. George is seeks and judge seven.
• 54:02
  Now verse four. Are you ready? So the first test
• 54:11
  is the test of courage. Maybe I should add to
• 54:16
  or two scriptures just to buttress on the issue of courage,
• 54:20
  second Timothy one and these seven very popular scripture Second
• 54:25
  Timothy one and verse seven before we look at the
• 54:28
  second test for God as not giving Joshua Salman the
• 54:32
  spirit of fear. That means fear is a gift. Look
• 54:36
  or look at me that when you find fear at
• 54:45
  work in you, you received it. Anything given can be rejected.
• 54:51
  Is that true? The Bible said God has not given.
• 54:55
  That means someone else gave it. God has not giving
• 55:00
  us the spirit of fear. Look how powerful fear is.
• 55:05
  It takes three spiritual forces to dislodge fear. Power, love,
• 55:10
  and a sound mind. Don't downplay fear. Fear is the
• 55:16
  spirit that foresuns every other spirit. Every other's spirit stands
• 55:21
  waiting for fear to open a door. No spirit will
• 55:24
  enter a door that fear has not opened. Did you
• 55:28
  hear what I said? Every spirit is at the messy
• 55:32
  of fear. They wait patiently for fear to open that door.
• 55:37
  Then every other spirit can come. God has not given
• 55:40
  us the spirit of fear. Let me tell you your
• 55:44
  destiny will require courage. You will stand face to face
• 55:47
  before mountains. You will stand face to face before some
• 55:51
  of you life threatening issues. Maybe some of you are
• 55:56
  already even standing in front of those things are down mounting,
• 56:01
  You should say before the ruper bell. When that beast
• 56:08
  was roaring six fingers and six toes, even the veterans
• 56:13
  of war in Israel became afraid. And a young teenager
• 56:18
  who came to serve his brother's food, he heard the
• 56:22
  voice of that beast, and he went and stood there
• 56:25
  and he said, what is happening? Who is this? They
• 56:28
  said Goliad? Goliad, and he looked at him. He said,
• 56:32
  please give me a chance to do something to this man.
• 56:35
  He went to Sault. The brothers drove him and said,
• 56:38
  go back before he kills you for nothing. And he
• 56:43
  went to King Saul, and Saul said, from what tribe?
• 56:47
  I want to know the covenant that backs you. That's
• 56:50
  all I need to know. When he stood before him
• 56:54
  with his sling, Goliad said, am I a dog? I
• 56:58
  would kill you. God respect me. You must be such
• 57:01
  a stupid boy you come to me with your slink.
• 57:05
  Look at your warriors you've been, You've been a shepherd
• 57:08
  with sheep. Your veterans are afraid. And when he was
• 57:11
  don't talking you would think that David would kneel down
• 57:16
  and say I'm sorry, I'm just a teenager. David said,
• 57:19
  let me even tell you how you would die. This
• 57:23
  slink will bring you down your very sod. It's what
• 57:26
  I would used to remove your head. Ah, goodness, courage.
• 57:34
  Can I tell you this, some of you after this conference,
• 57:38
  you may not have money to buy sharp san but
• 57:40
  once stand where that land is. Yes, hear me. You
• 57:55
  may not have a ministry now and nobody is placing
• 57:57
  a demand on you, but go to the where your
• 58:00
  audience is. Stand there and hold a stick and begin
• 58:04
  to preach like I did many years ago, and declear
• 58:07
  and declare by the spirit, since the anointing there, train
• 58:11
  You're gift in the bush. Train You're anointing right there,
• 58:14
  because so now or later the one who is a
• 58:18
  way maker will make the way for you. Okay. Can
• 58:28
  I tell you this? Fear puts men in bondage Hebrews
• 58:33
  two fifteen. I believe, and to deliver them who to
• 58:37
  the fear of death too fifteen Hebrews where all their lifetime.
• 58:44
  That means fear can capture a man's lifetime. Do you
• 58:46
  know what a lifetime is? From when you were born
• 58:49
  till when you die. Fear can literally possess a man's lifetime,
• 58:55
  not just moments in your destiny, a whole lifetime. Courageous
• 59:05
  people are those who win in our world today, those
• 59:08
  who are overly conscious of what people say. I made
• 59:12
  a statement, who liked it, who commended that you are
• 59:15
  ready for failure forever? There are times you will have
• 59:20
  to stand alone. Can I tell you something? You see
• 59:23
  the ways of God does not always show the wisdom
• 59:27
  behind it immediately. There are times that you will look
• 59:30
  fullish for ten years. Is the eleventh year that will
• 59:32
  show you were wise for eleven years? But the courage
• 59:36
  to stay. When Noah was shouting and saying, rain is coming,
• 59:41
  yar me, rain is coming for one hundred and twenty years,
• 59:44
  you were shouting. They laughed at him. He said, I'm
• 59:48
  giving you a chance. All the animals were wise. They
• 59:51
  didn't ard you. As soon as they got the call
• 59:54
  in peace, seven by seven, two by two. The animals
• 59:58
  who could run first that men who could climb trees,
• 1:00:01
  who were even more technical, they quietly came, and all
• 1:00:05
  the men who were helpless they stood there, arguing it
• 1:00:08
  was God who closed the door and The Bible says
• 1:00:11
  the rain was structured souls, that Heaven gave it all rain,
• 1:00:14
  and gave it all rain whoever it meets in the middle,
• 1:00:18
  and that was where he killed everybody. Can I tell
• 1:00:23
  you this, most of us in our world will never
• 1:00:26
  be great because of the fear of being alone. There
• 1:00:33
  are people who will live God with thousands times to
• 1:00:36
  gain friends. There are people who have bought their destiny
• 1:00:40
  the thousand times because of acceptance. Our generation has such
• 1:00:46
  an obsession for acceptance. Don't get me wrong. Acceptance is
• 1:00:50
  one of the psychological indices that made for fulfillment. I understand,
• 1:00:55
  but let me tell you sincerely, if it is destiny,
• 1:00:58
  there are many times is at the end that the
• 1:01:00
  vision speaks. But you don't stop building at the end,
• 1:01:06
  you stop building alone foolishly sometimes and as your wisdom
• 1:01:12
  on folds, God now honors you. Once upon a time
• 1:01:19
  in these legos, there were people who were tying water
• 1:01:24
  Is that true water like what you call pure water today?
• 1:01:28
  They were tying it in a letter you still remember,
• 1:01:31
  And someone looked and said, no, water is an essential.
• 1:01:36
  We can package this in a in a more intelligent way.
• 1:01:40
  Do you know the risk? He took what if they failed? Question?
• 1:01:46
  Did they fail? The man who builds a hotel with
• 1:01:53
  one hundred and tatto rooms? Question, who signed that I
• 1:01:57
  will come and sleep in your hotel? The pastor who
• 1:02:01
  buys a land and build say church, did anybody sign
• 1:02:06
  a covenant with him that I will guarantee you midweek?
• 1:02:08
  I'm there, church service? I am there. Somebody say, courage,
• 1:02:15
  My dear worships. When you write your songs, does anybody
• 1:02:18
  give you any guarantee that I will come and sing?
• 1:02:22
  Everything you are celebrating today is the other side of courage,
• 1:02:27
  The other side of courage, the order side of courage.
• 1:02:33
  Seven up? You know seven off that you take. I'm
• 1:02:36
  sure you know how the name seven op came seven
• 1:02:39
  not just means six down seven up? The man failed
• 1:02:42
  six times woefully. He named the product after his results.
• 1:02:52
  Today you drink it, but behind what you are drinking
• 1:02:56
  is the pain of a man. Look at me. I
• 1:03:00
  always wondered why God, through the prophet, would tell Naman
• 1:03:04
  to go on bad seven times? God, you are mighty?
• 1:03:08
  What is seven? I later found out that there is
• 1:03:11
  something about the law process that was taught in that miracle.
• 1:03:15
  Do you know that after Naman took his bath six times.
• 1:03:19
  You thought there will be evidence of che or to
• 1:03:21
  encourage him. He was still as dirty and scaly and
• 1:03:25
  as tataed as that five minutes to your miracle, it
• 1:03:28
  will still not look like it. This is the thing
• 1:03:31
  about God that you have to understand. Can I tell
• 1:03:36
  you this? Go and ask Elijah. He prayed and said
• 1:03:40
  check for me. Nothing. Prayed and said check for me
• 1:03:43
  nothing seven times, even the sixth time. Nothing. The same
• 1:03:47
  way you sit there today, you don't know is tomorrow
• 1:03:50
  that prophets he has written that you would be smiling
• 1:03:53
  as it is right now. Nothing is in your life. Ah.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 2: My believer is calling mylve. He's standing bah.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 4: My deliever is calming mylive.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: He is standing Baha. The prophet said, by this time tomorrow,
• 1:04:26
  you thought the cloud will suddenly start moving. And the
• 1:04:28
  nation of Israel said, wow, a cloud is for me.
• 1:04:31
  After the prophet spoke, I'm sure even him he went
• 1:04:34
  back and said, God, I've spoken, don't let this people
• 1:04:38
  kill me. A woman that can eat a child, is
• 1:04:40
  it a prophet should not eat. By the next day,
• 1:04:52
  everybody woke up. Where is that stupid prophets playing with
• 1:04:57
  our intelligence? In the name of the Lord, you said today,
• 1:05:01
  this is that day. They forgot it was God that
• 1:05:04
  made the day for neighbors. Why sit we here die?
• 1:05:12
  Let's go and die in the place where there is plenty.
• 1:05:14
  They say, lesson there. It's better to die in a
• 1:05:17
  place of supply than to run a way out of fear.
• 1:05:21
  The guys were wise. They said, anyway, we are going
• 1:05:24
  to die, so it's wiser and cheaper. And when they
• 1:05:30
  took that type of faith, the Lord amplified them and
• 1:05:37
  it was like the sound of chariots, and they said, uh,
• 1:05:40
  some Aria has now gothered allies to come and fight us.
• 1:05:44
  When they got there, all they soul was supplies. Can
• 1:05:46
  I tell you this someone, by this teaching, you are
• 1:05:49
  receiving the courage to do something that four years ago
• 1:05:53
  you wrote it. God told you start. You've been afraid
• 1:05:56
  and sitting there. God, let me start the company. Oh God,
• 1:06:00
  you know the way Nigeria is now. I'm waiting until
• 1:06:03
  my uncle, he said, it is contesting for election. War
• 1:06:06
  to him will puts his strength in a man. If
• 1:06:09
  God gives you the marching orders, sustained, the courage and
• 1:06:12
  the grace to go, Can I tell you sometimes you
• 1:06:16
  will fallow being God. Oh I wish you would not.
• 1:06:20
  There are times you will fail ow being God. When
• 1:06:23
  you fail owbeying God, allow the one who takes the
• 1:06:26
  glory to also take the shame. You've always heard me
• 1:06:31
  say this. If you are the one taking the shame,
• 1:06:34
  you have been taking the glory to It's a deal.
• 1:06:38
  Whoever takes when you say God, take everything, you meantake
• 1:06:42
  both the glory and the shame. If on account of
• 1:06:46
  my hearing you, this shame comes upon me, take responsibility
• 1:06:50
  for my obedience. Please sit down. Let me give us
• 1:06:58
  the lastest the price for new dimensions. Price number one
• 1:07:11
  is the price of courage, on bending resoluteness that is
• 1:07:20
  not outsourced but generated. Lord, I know you have spoken
• 1:07:27
  to me that from this family where no one has reasen,
• 1:07:31
  that you are going to lead me and the nations
• 1:07:33
  who celebrate your workings upon my life. I believe what
• 1:07:38
  is the next step? Start moving to where? Keep moving?
• 1:07:42
  Do you believe I'm God? Keep moving to where? To Legos? Lord,
• 1:07:46
  I'm in Legos? What is the next step? Trust me?
• 1:07:49
  What kind of answer is that? And all your classmates
• 1:07:56
  call you and say, oh, is he your picture? Say
• 1:07:58
  in NMPC is there for where stay here? I mean
• 1:08:01
  legos And they said, but you two, you know some
• 1:08:04
  of you. Sometimes you can be very stupid and you
• 1:08:06
  just stand and say Lord. Everybody may seem to have
• 1:08:09
  moved forward. Maybe that's someone's testimony. Now God just locked
• 1:08:16
  you up. And all you are doing is praying now firsty,
• 1:08:20
  praying now, fasty, studying scripture, praying now, fasting, reading books,
• 1:08:25
  praying and fasting, praying I'm firsty, and then lending materials.
• 1:08:31
  You know so much about the platform to put it
• 1:08:33
  to work is not there. God is doing something with you.
• 1:08:38
  Let me warn you if God says wait, wait, every
• 1:08:43
  time you rush seasons, you will always give back to
• 1:08:47
  the Ishmael that will fight Isaac. God is say, God
• 1:08:53
  of speed, But God does not rush two days to
• 1:08:58
  your breakthrough, can bring an offer one day that can
• 1:09:02
  make your bath Ishmael, and forever you will have to
• 1:09:05
  live with that battle. Part of the way we gain
• 1:09:11
  speed is by it with tru lyron. If someone learning
• 1:09:19
  obtain courage, do not fear, refuse fear. When angels appear,
• 1:09:25
  they tell men fear not. It is for a reason.
• 1:09:28
  Test number two George is seven four, shaprand that Cascodima
• 1:09:37
  Laco theater. Are you ready for the second test? Now?
• 1:09:42
  This one? In fact, if you did not get anything
• 1:09:46
  I shared here, please don't forget this. This is a
• 1:09:51
  life changing secret that I want to share with you. Now.
• 1:09:55
  You will thank your Man of God for the rest
• 1:09:58
  of your life if you get what I'm showing you now.
• 1:10:02
  And the Lord said onto Gideon, the people are yet
• 1:10:07
  to many. The first test reduced them, but there are
• 1:10:12
  still ten thousand others. He said, bring them onto the water,
• 1:10:19
  and I will try them for you there. Listen carefully,
• 1:10:24
  and it shall be that of whom I say to you,
• 1:10:28
  this is the one who goes with you from that test,
• 1:10:31
  Then it shall go with you. What is the test?
• 1:10:33
  Verse five? Please give us verse five. So he brought
• 1:10:40
  the people onto the water. Are you ready now? And
• 1:10:44
  the Lord said to Gideon, they are going to approach
• 1:10:47
  their interaction with this water in two ways. Study them
• 1:10:52
  and use their encounter with this water to filter them.
• 1:10:57
  Every One that lapped on the water with his tongue
• 1:11:01
  as a dog lappet him, shall downset by himself. Likewise,
• 1:11:09
  everyone that bowed down upon his knees to drink look,
• 1:11:15
  let me teach you a mystery here. Do you know
• 1:11:18
  what this means? Don't forget that when he called them,
• 1:11:24
  they came out of their homes. They had started walking.
• 1:11:29
  Some of them returned. That means everybody had left home.
• 1:11:33
  Their energy had been spent. Are you getting the point now? Now?
• 1:11:37
  He brought them to the place of some level of results,
• 1:11:40
  and he said, watch the way they approach this success.
• 1:11:44
  If you meet water as a testing man, he said,
• 1:11:49
  those who bowed down to that success to drink it,
• 1:11:52
  they have created, They have set to there that there
• 1:11:55
  are doors who will approach that success with the mindset
• 1:11:59
  of one who who knows that the journey is still far.
• 1:12:01
  They will not bow They will laugh like a dog
• 1:12:04
  because they are just drinking to keep moving. But there
• 1:12:07
  are others who will bow down. That means I'm not
• 1:12:09
  leaving this place again. It sa separates them. This is
• 1:12:12
  the last test a god so brand that catle theater
• 1:12:18
  is someone getting me? Now? How do you bow down
• 1:12:22
  to water to drink it? Find out? I started ministry? Now,
• 1:12:28
  God wants to test you. His vision is to give
• 1:12:31
  you a global ministry. But he trusted you with a
• 1:12:33
  fellowship and because of the results in the fellowship. No
• 1:12:37
  more prayer, no more here in God. You are now
• 1:12:40
  bowing down to drink that water. I'm happy with the
• 1:12:43
  ten thousand that is coming. I'm happy with the tatty members.
• 1:12:46
  There is no pressing, nor fasting, no building. Gideon, study
• 1:12:52
  their approach to that which gives them comfort. At this level.
• 1:12:57
  The assignment of water is to quench your test. When
• 1:13:00
  you are a testing man who has been working for
• 1:13:03
  a long time, when you see water, you will not
• 1:13:06
  know there are other treasures in the warfront greater than
• 1:13:09
  that water. If someone getting that now, the second test
• 1:13:18
  you see, let me tell you this there is you
• 1:13:22
  have to conquered the deception of current success. You want
• 1:13:28
  to go forward, you must conquer the deception of complacency
• 1:13:34
  that comes as a result of your current achievements. It
• 1:13:39
  is not only failure that kills. Success kills more than failure.
• 1:13:45
  Many people stop working with God. Many people deflected their
• 1:13:49
  passion for growth, their passion to be mentor their passion
• 1:13:53
  to learn. After all, there's results. Now I've started prophesying.
• 1:13:59
  It's not very clever, but I've started prophesying here and
• 1:14:02
  there the announcing I started working. It looks like a
• 1:14:05
  few members are coming now, and God is saying, this
• 1:14:08
  is only a test, Gideon, study them these tests. You
• 1:14:11
  will not find out immediately. It will take time for
• 1:14:14
  you to know those who will separate, who will be separated.
• 1:14:17
  And he said, anyone, have you ever seen a dog
• 1:14:21
  set to? When a dog is eating, it does not
• 1:14:24
  eat a light down and does remain there. It's ready
• 1:14:26
  to move. In fact, parts of the body is already moving.
• 1:14:29
  Once it is done, it moves to what it was
• 1:14:31
  doing before that temporary success. It says, those who laugh,
• 1:14:37
  they're still on their feet. They're just fetching it my feet,
• 1:14:40
  My instrumental motion is still in place. But those who
• 1:14:45
  bow down upon their knees, to bow down means to
• 1:14:51
  make it load over you. You have made the success
• 1:14:54
  Lord over you. You have made the little exposure consume
• 1:14:58
  you such that you've forgotten that you. We're on a mission.
• 1:15:01
  It's someone learning now. I can tell you just because
• 1:15:09
  you pass the test of courage, courage can graduate to
• 1:15:12
  pride when you get to the water, because there is
• 1:15:16
  of yours results there. What is not something you can deny.
• 1:15:20
  Every Body can see the evidence. There is some results.
• 1:15:26
  Let me tell you this I pray for myself every
• 1:15:29
  day and all the time, and I want you to
• 1:15:32
  pray for yourself the moment you start making it. Pray
• 1:15:36
  more than you failed. Pray more than you prayed when
• 1:15:39
  you were failing. Are we together now, yes, sir. The
• 1:15:44
  higher you rise, the more the pain when you fall.
• 1:15:48
  If you are hearing you, how many of you have
• 1:15:50
  fallen from the bed you were dreaming that you were
• 1:15:52
  climbing a skyscraper. You just moved and you found I
• 1:15:55
  was a dream. You can get up and just say, oh,
• 1:15:57
  no problem, I rebuken is weird. Climb your bed and
• 1:15:59
  keep sleeping. But when you fall from a plane, you
• 1:16:03
  may not survive. So the higher you rise, the more
• 1:16:07
  discerning you have to be. Is someone learning now? You
• 1:16:13
  have to train yourself and even create a system, if
• 1:16:17
  need be around your life so that your contact with
• 1:16:22
  the celebrity dimension of success does not entire you so
• 1:16:26
  much to a point that it distracts your discipline for continuity.
• 1:16:33
  When all the nations are calling you, when every body
• 1:16:37
  is listening to your songs, Man of God, Apostle Joshua Sellman,
• 1:16:41
  when the nations are calling you, that is exactly where
• 1:16:45
  the great fall and they are destroyed because whether you
• 1:16:49
  study or not, the power of God will still move.
• 1:16:52
  You can pick any topic lazily around and still teach,
• 1:16:56
  and with respect to your hair, as you are still powerful.
• 1:16:59
  It's only God that knows when you off a family
• 1:17:01
  still moves, it will not die. At the same time,
• 1:17:07
  hear me, I'm telling you why you see people gaining
• 1:17:10
  momentum doing certain things. And at the point you will
• 1:17:13
  know that this preacher, he is not backsleading, but he
• 1:17:17
  has planted too. There's nothing else to learn from him.
• 1:17:20
  And can I tell you this generation is very unforgiving
• 1:17:24
  over exhaustion. The moment they design that you have you
• 1:17:29
  have rounded up your syllables, they will respect you and
• 1:17:33
  dure the monument around your your refusal for continuity. Yes, sir,
• 1:17:52
  in the next ten years. There are businesses that will
• 1:17:55
  be out of place. In the next ten years. I
• 1:17:59
  hate to say this is the truth. There are even
• 1:18:02
  ministries that may have to give away. It's not just
• 1:18:05
  by technological alignment. It is God who opens the gates
• 1:18:09
  for the next season. And God said this one, I'm
• 1:18:12
  the one who tests them by myself. Let me see
• 1:18:15
  what they do by the riverside test. Number one. Whoever
• 1:18:20
  is afraid and fearful, whoever does not believe in his future,
• 1:18:25
  don't even start go home. Those who win will come
• 1:18:28
  and help you. Go home. Test number two that one
• 1:18:36
  start producing results, advance, go forward. Now you come to
• 1:18:40
  a place where there are results, your first one million,
• 1:18:44
  your first one billion, And God says, now I'm watching.
• 1:18:48
  Remember how you were rolling when there was nothing. Now
• 1:18:52
  the cloth is too expensive to roll. Now you cut
• 1:18:58
  your prayer time into her because there is an important
• 1:19:02
  business meeting with noble personalities. Let me tell you what
• 1:19:05
  you are doing. You are bowing down before the water.
• 1:19:08
  You are failing the test. Some of you came to
• 1:19:10
  church who were already failing this test, and God put
• 1:19:13
  this conference to help you. The moment one million came,
• 1:19:18
  is taking this message now to remind you that that's
• 1:19:20
  not all you need in your life. Because you left God,
• 1:19:23
  you left prayer. You don't know where your Bible is,
• 1:19:25
  You don't even know where your relationship is. I made
• 1:19:33
  up my mind that as for loving Jesus, as for
• 1:19:38
  serving him, as for dwelling in his presence, you've heard
• 1:19:44
  me say that I love it more than ministry. Believe me,
• 1:19:48
  I can lock up the door of ministry and never
• 1:19:51
  open it again. And I'm still satisfied. It was never
• 1:19:54
  the pursuit in the first place. I was not pursuing it.
• 1:19:58
  I was pursuing him. So even when it comes, it
• 1:20:02
  cannot distract me. Provide that he's still there. And it
• 1:20:07
  is while we seek him that he so graciously continues
• 1:20:11
  to multiply the grace and the anointing things that were
• 1:20:15
  not even part of the blueprint. He keeps adding. And
• 1:20:19
  we say, Lord, my desire is to give you glory,
• 1:20:22
  And he says, then I will keep giving you the
• 1:20:24
  platform to keep giving me glory. Please look at me.
• 1:20:29
  We're wrapping up. There are many preachers who have failed
• 1:20:32
  this test. There are many business people. You are a
• 1:20:36
  preacher here. Please don't, as much as possible, don't miss
• 1:20:39
  the pastor's conference tomorrow. By the privilege of God's grace,
• 1:20:44
  I will be sharing with you certain keys that will
• 1:20:46
  help you Tonight's service before you will receive. It's a
• 1:20:50
  service of genuine repentance. Lord, I didn't know that the
• 1:20:57
  river you brought me to was only a test. The
• 1:21:01
  one house you gave me, the visa you gave me
• 1:21:05
  to tour Europe, And when I return back, I said,
• 1:21:10
  no body should come and invite me anywhere where they
• 1:21:12
  would give me one thousand dollars again. Oh damn, After
• 1:21:18
  all I went round. Believe us and all those who
• 1:21:26
  are connecting learning lesson from this. It is a real
• 1:21:30
  price to watch success and still be on a mission
• 1:21:35
  while people clap for you. Do you know most times
• 1:21:38
  when I finish meetings, sincerely, I'm telling you, no matter
• 1:21:42
  how great and how wonderful the meeting is, most times
• 1:21:45
  people who call me to say, appossible, how was the meeting?
• 1:21:47
  And I say, fine, that mean what happened? Fine, that's
• 1:21:51
  say enough for me. I go back and I get
• 1:21:55
  down on my knees and I say, Lord, your boy
• 1:21:57
  is here to tell you thank you again. The one
• 1:22:00
  you found, the one you helped, the one you lifted
• 1:22:05
  even on suit. Still your boy in the presence of
• 1:22:08
  the world, Still your boy. I will never give my name.
• 1:22:12
  They can call me anything. I appreciate the honor, but
• 1:22:16
  I know who I am to you, and God says
• 1:22:19
  you have done this for me, even in the presence
• 1:22:21
  of Bertie. Let's open another door. Let me show you
• 1:22:24
  why some people will never die, even if they die.
• 1:22:27
  They don't die. The reason is because their hunger and
• 1:22:32
  their passion for God immortalizes their impact. There is no
• 1:22:36
  dispensation of the move of God where they are etched out.
• 1:22:41
  There are three levels of the anointing. There is the
• 1:22:44
  anointing that comes upon your life by reason of being
• 1:22:48
  grafted into Christ. Listen carefully, every believer who is grafted
• 1:22:53
  into Christ. There is a measure of the engracing of
• 1:22:55
  the Spirit upon you. The second level of the anointing
• 1:22:58
  is the anointing that comes upon your life by reason
• 1:23:01
  or the office you occupy. When God calls you and
• 1:23:04
  allocates your space in destiny, whether in the Fivefold ministry
• 1:23:09
  or in whatever area that represents the geography of your weakness,
• 1:23:13
  there is an engracing that comes upon you. The third
• 1:23:16
  level of the anointing, which is very rare, is the
• 1:23:19
  anointing that comes upon you by reason of having the
• 1:23:23
  discernment to know what God is doing past season and
• 1:23:27
  passing the test that keeps you relevant. You can still
• 1:23:31
  be a man of God, and you'll be surprised. A
• 1:23:33
  move of God will start and you are not in it.
• 1:23:36
  This is not backsliding. You did not pass this test.
• 1:23:40
  Most likely the current level of results distracted you so much,
• 1:23:45
  and when God measures your capacity, he sees the moving
• 1:23:49
  you out of that space. You don't have the energy
• 1:23:52
  and the strength to manage the success that comes so
• 1:23:55
  out of his messy. He will close the door by himself.
• 1:23:58
  Not every closed door is the monic. There are closed
• 1:24:01
  doors that are a report card. Because with the level
• 1:24:05
  of your spiritual capacity, based on your prayerlessness, your wordlessness,
• 1:24:09
  it will be difficult for God to expose you to
• 1:24:12
  higher levels and higher platforms. The attacks there will kill you,
• 1:24:16
  so you will keep you small. You want to advance,
• 1:24:21
  please focus on this test. It's easy for a preacher
• 1:24:25
  to preach for you and tell you don't share, but
• 1:24:28
  when it has to do with the test of the water,
• 1:24:31
  no man of God can preach it for you. It
• 1:24:33
  is going to be you and Jesus, I show you
• 1:24:40
  a mystery. I made a covenant with my life that
• 1:24:43
  there is no amount of success or results or the
• 1:24:48
  blessings of God. Listen, I'm not exaggerating, and forgive me
• 1:24:52
  for some arrogant I have said it here. I respond
• 1:24:55
  to an average. Now it's almost getting to eight or
• 1:24:58
  nine hundred text messages in a day, one day, one person,
• 1:25:03
  and over seventy percent of those text messages are prayers
• 1:25:07
  and commendations. Apursle, you are your Apostle of the most
• 1:25:11
  high oh around the world. I listen to your message
• 1:25:14
  this and that, and sometimes I look at these things
• 1:25:16
  with sincere compassion, and I look at myself on the
• 1:25:19
  mirror and I say, in the name of Jesus, Apostle,
• 1:25:22
  you will get there. You will arrive, no devil and
• 1:25:25
  no demo, no commendation. Nobody will clap you to plateau.
• 1:25:29
  At that level. I will pray like never before. First,
• 1:25:33
  like never before, open up my spirit like never before.
• 1:25:36
  When you see me panting after God, you will think
• 1:25:38
  I don't know anything about the things of God. That
• 1:25:41
  is the posture. It is there that hunger and test
• 1:25:45
  that rise. Let me say this, especially for my generation
• 1:25:49
  of preachers. This a our arrow guns and stopbornness and
• 1:25:53
  arrival mentality is why there is balloon success. People go
• 1:25:58
  up and deflate back in to shame. You know why,
• 1:26:01
  because there is a post Sure you most consistently take.
• 1:26:07
  Let any man that thinks he knows know that he
• 1:26:10
  does not know as he ought to know. There are
• 1:26:13
  many things I do not know. There are many things
• 1:26:16
  I still need to learn. You go and check my
• 1:26:19
  laptop now there are videos and trainings. I'm duilding myself.
• 1:26:22
  I will never arrive, not in this life when it
• 1:26:28
  has to do with destiny. Don't let your tears stop you.
• 1:26:31
  Be straight on yourself. You woke up in the night
• 1:26:35
  for you to get to this level of the anointing.
• 1:26:37
  If you don't respect that night again, soon you will plataol.
• 1:26:41
  Yesterday's excellence is to this mediocrity. Don't think yesterday's oil
• 1:26:46
  will solve tomorrow's problem. You will need to access fresh oil.
• 1:26:51
  And when there was no more vessel, the problem was
• 1:26:55
  not the oil. When there was no more vessel, is
• 1:27:00
  God speaking to someone, because we are going to pray
• 1:27:04
  the grace to pass these two tests. For some of you,
• 1:27:07
  the reason why you have not accessed certain blessings is
• 1:27:11
  God wanted you to listen to this message. And for
• 1:27:13
  those who are following from around the world listening, maybe
• 1:27:16
  a seeo is listening to me right now, a family member,
• 1:27:20
  a man of God. You are listening and asking why
• 1:27:23
  are things not happening in my life? Don't forget all
• 1:27:27
  that we've discoursed that Number one, going your might is
• 1:27:30
  not yet an importation that the understanding to inquire as
• 1:27:35
  to why my life is not working or why it
• 1:27:38
  is working. All the same, it requires careful study and
• 1:27:43
  then that when it has to do with the journey
• 1:27:46
  of advancement, especially charting new frontiers in your life and destiny,
• 1:27:51
  there are two principal tests, the tests of courage and
• 1:27:56
  the stamina to not be distracted by results. Show me
• 1:28:02
  a man who can pass these two tests. I show
• 1:28:05
  you a man who does will never remain close over
• 1:28:08
  for long. I assure you. Recently, the Lord did something
• 1:28:14
  in my life that I'm not a very emotional person.
• 1:28:18
  I've tried and tried, it didn't work, and I said, look,
• 1:28:19
  I will force myself. I would just cry. How if
• 1:28:22
  the tears don't come, I can cry my heart. But
• 1:28:26
  I found myself getting more emotional as God lived me
• 1:28:29
  because of the share awareness. And when God did what
• 1:28:35
  he did in my life, I said, my God, what
• 1:28:36
  is the meaning of this? And I celebrate his goodness
• 1:28:41
  and I thank him about very quickly. I remember. I
• 1:28:45
  remember people send me text messages all the time saying
• 1:28:54
  all sorts of things, and I honored them. Some of
• 1:28:56
  you are here looking at me. When I stepped in,
• 1:28:59
  many of you weppreciated me. I truly appreciate you. I
• 1:29:02
  don't take it for granted. When people love you and
• 1:29:05
  believe in you, do not take it for granted. However,
• 1:29:09
  the day God showed me this as a revelation, I
• 1:29:13
  made up my mind and I keep praying it all
• 1:29:15
  the time. Here's the prayer that I prayed were rapping up.
• 1:29:22
  I said, Lord, may I never see the full extent
• 1:29:26
  of my impact, Just show me a sample of it,
• 1:29:30
  and it is okay. I don't trust myself what I
• 1:29:33
  can do and become in the presence of certain levels
• 1:29:36
  of results. So let me not even be aware that
• 1:29:40
  this is how far you have taken me. It is
• 1:29:42
  my personal prayer, and God answered it. Can I tell
• 1:29:49
  you conquered the obsession for a celebrity life. Conquered the
• 1:29:55
  obsession to be noticed? You will be noticed. Conquered obsession,
• 1:30:02
  and the way to do it is that your focus
• 1:30:04
  must be on Jesus. I always give this example. This
• 1:30:08
  is a pulpit. Our focus is on the top here,
• 1:30:12
  but what is holding it? You cannot ignore it while
• 1:30:15
  you are looking at this. My desire in My life
• 1:30:18
  is never to build an empire for myself, to see
• 1:30:22
  Jesus lifted and to see Jesus glorified, and God sees
• 1:30:26
  my heart. I'm not just saying it because I'm here.
• 1:30:28
  If you ever wonder why God does what it does
• 1:30:31
  in the life of this servant of his, let me
• 1:30:34
  tell you sincerely it is nothing necessarily spectacular. Is that
• 1:30:38
  He has founded by grace forever in my life. If
• 1:30:43
  God does not bless me, he does not owe me.
• 1:30:46
  I owe him my life and everything until the day
• 1:30:49
  I see his face. Is someone learning the test. Some
• 1:31:01
  of us need to repent. God trusted you with platforms.
• 1:31:06
  God trusted you with mantles. God trusted you with anointings.
• 1:31:11
  God trusted you with relationships. God trusted you with certain things,
• 1:31:16
  and you abused it in pride God trust. He brought
• 1:31:19
  you in the presence of business people who, by your
• 1:31:22
  level of growth and transformation, you should not be there.
• 1:31:25
  But He granted you access to the great You abuse
• 1:31:28
  the privilege. This is what has closed doors for many people.
• 1:31:35
  What like the hell of Samson, you can be restored, Oh,
• 1:31:40
  you can be restored. Fail my life teld dayye he
• 1:31:50
  is you clovely. Lord, I'm going to give us the
• 1:32:15
  next five minutes, and I'm going to leave you and
• 1:32:20
  your Savior and your Maker. I don't know what position
• 1:32:23
  you're going to take, but please hear me, do not
• 1:32:26
  despise this teaching this night. If it is genuine advancement
• 1:32:32
  you want to make in your life. We are going
• 1:32:34
  to cry before God, beginning from me on the stage here.
• 1:32:38
  Some of us have failed the test number one. That's
• 1:32:43
  share in this countraence. You are going to pray and
• 1:32:47
  flog it out with destiny. God gives you a word
• 1:32:51
  of knowledge. You are afraid are to say it because
• 1:32:53
  you are afraid. So the prophetic has refused to develop
• 1:32:57
  in you, because your ego is on the line. If
• 1:33:00
  I mentioned this name and it's not the person, and
• 1:33:03
  God is saying you don't trust me enough, it is
• 1:33:06
  a risk to move by faith. I always say this
• 1:33:11
  that faith is spelled r I s K. That is
• 1:33:14
  the spelling of faith. Faith in the world of achievers,
• 1:33:18
  it is not faih no. That is in the world
• 1:33:22
  of linguists. In the world of achievers, faith is r
• 1:33:27
  I s K. That's the spelling of faith. It takes
• 1:33:34
  an ummature to say you are wrong. I struggled with
• 1:33:43
  the Lord for three years to move from Zaria to
• 1:33:46
  a butcher. God was doing great and mighty things already.
• 1:33:52
  You can imagine a place that is a center, that's
• 1:33:56
  emirates there, and yet people will travel from all of
• 1:34:00
  the world in the midst of the kidnappings and come there.
• 1:34:05
  It was a measure of great results. And God began
• 1:34:09
  to speak to me, the son, we have to move
• 1:34:12
  to the next phase. God, I don't want trouble Abuja. No,
• 1:34:16
  I don't I'm not ready for this. This I don't want.
• 1:34:19
  I don't want I mean ministers to understand what I'm saying.
• 1:34:22
  I'm not ready for any Just keep me. Let me
• 1:34:25
  serve you sincerely. After all, you are almost coming, so
• 1:34:28
  I mean, finally, when I moved to Abuja, many of
• 1:34:38
  you here shuttle between Legos and Abuja. It is very
• 1:34:43
  very Life is expensive. You need faith, wisdom, relationships, everything
• 1:34:48
  combined together. When I began to see the visions of
• 1:34:51
  our meeting today and some of the things God was doing,
• 1:34:54
  of course, I'll be foolish to doubt him at that level.
• 1:34:57
  He had done great and mighty things before the but
• 1:35:00
  I said, Lord, would you Grand grace, and I began
• 1:35:03
  to pray. And when I began to pray, I said, Lord,
• 1:35:08
  I believe you. Test number one, courage. Finally, I said,
• 1:35:15
  let's go. If you instruct me to go, then you
• 1:35:20
  are well able to glorify yourself. Test number two. I
• 1:35:26
  had to decide to camp around the success of that
• 1:35:30
  face of ministry, as remarkable as it was, or move
• 1:35:34
  to a virgin territory and now trust God for lifting.
• 1:35:39
  And I said, Lord, I believe in you. I thank
• 1:35:44
  God for what you have done through my life, but
• 1:35:48
  I know there is more to be done, and I
• 1:35:50
  thank you. And it was at the period of the pandemic.
• 1:35:54
  I hope you you know what that means. Churches ministries
• 1:35:57
  were closed for a while. I remember the first time
• 1:36:00
  we saw the venue that was supposedly we are contemplating
• 1:36:04
  that venue. And then ice C and the rates were
• 1:36:07
  something else, but ic C they would not give it
• 1:36:09
  for that frequency of programs. And then this one that
• 1:36:13
  God brought us by his grace. It was about the
• 1:36:16
  biggest auditorium that can be given for that is not
• 1:36:20
  built as a church auditorium, not even discussing the price.
• 1:36:26
  By you you won't believe it. And then I sent
• 1:36:30
  a delegation to meet the man, and the man said,
• 1:36:33
  no way. And because there's carta chars, this catadis. I
• 1:36:36
  invested so much. I'm not ready to lose my money
• 1:36:39
  for nothing. And I said, God, boy, you spoke to me.
• 1:36:42
  I'm not saying that. I hope, I hope you're not offended.
• 1:36:47
  And I said, Lord, I believe you. I was in
• 1:36:49
  Then you go for a conference. When that man went
• 1:36:52
  to bed, and according to him, a very great and
• 1:36:56
  wealthy man in this nation. He said he had the
• 1:36:59
  audible voice of God, like someone is talking. And he
• 1:37:02
  told him, get off. You do not know the young
• 1:37:04
  man who I sent to you, and you don't know
• 1:37:06
  the agenda. He did not buy that land. He was
• 1:37:10
  given to him. As you know how they allocated just
• 1:37:13
  bless people with it. And that God a prophecy had
• 1:37:17
  come that God is going to raise a mighty man,
• 1:37:20
  and that the reason why he's building that facility primarily
• 1:37:23
  is for that move of God. So God told him
• 1:37:27
  that that vision I gave you, the time has come.
• 1:37:31
  And that was how when I returned, the man was sick.
• 1:37:34
  True story, and I decided to go and greet him,
• 1:37:39
  just to go and greet him, not to even discuss anything.
• 1:37:42
  And when the man saw me I greeted him, he
• 1:37:45
  called all his managers and we sat down right there.
• 1:37:49
  Let me tell you this, I don't say to brag
• 1:37:52
  d to both believe me. I stand by the God
• 1:37:54
  of Heaven. And I don't know if I just say
• 1:37:56
  this or not, but believe me when I tell you
• 1:37:59
  what it takes to run one coin on your service
• 1:38:02
  is probably what most people will use for conferences. One service.
• 1:38:10
  So don't you think I'm just standing here and talking nonsense. No,
• 1:38:17
  those of you who have been there, you know the
• 1:38:19
  main auditorium, everything, plus the basement and then outside again
• 1:38:24
  now the whole space everywhere, there's no space. Again. At
• 1:38:36
  this level, I have met kings, I have met nobles.
• 1:38:42
  I have met the Higher Mighty, to the glory and
• 1:38:45
  the name of the Lord. I've met people I never
• 1:38:49
  imagine that I will meet in my life at this level,
• 1:38:56
  heads of government, heads of parliament. And you will think
• 1:39:00
  at that level, let me tell you the deception, Joshua Sellman,
• 1:39:05
  this is where I was going to of your results.
• 1:39:09
  Where you don't have results, It's foolish to be proud
• 1:39:12
  because people will insult you on top of the world.
• 1:39:14
  Now you don't have anything again. But when you have
• 1:39:17
  a level of results, you see that. And I prayed
• 1:39:25
  and I told God something. I said, Lord, for this
• 1:39:29
  that you have done for me, I give you glory.
• 1:39:33
  I understand the pressure of being me, I understand all
• 1:39:37
  kinds of things. But Lord, grant me grace that this
• 1:39:42
  will never get into me, that I will never stand
• 1:39:45
  on the stage and try to imagine that it was
• 1:39:48
  by my strength. No, some of you here seated are
• 1:39:54
  multi millionnaires. Some of you are probably billionnaires. Some of
• 1:39:58
  you are God has helped you. You have done well.
• 1:40:03
  But can I tell you this. I apologize that I've
• 1:40:05
  taken a bit of your time. We're rapping up, but
• 1:40:09
  I want to spad two or three minutes you're going
• 1:40:12
  to cast that crown and say, Lord, I'm ready to
• 1:40:15
  pass this last test because for some of you, as
• 1:40:18
  great as what you have seen is, God is only starting.
• 1:40:24
  Are you ready in the next five minutes, Whether you
• 1:40:28
  want to lie down, whether you want to cry, I
• 1:40:31
  don't know what position you're going to. Don't be unblast.
• 1:40:34
  Remember where it took you from. I cast my crown
• 1:40:39
  before the highest row health. See I am man done
• 1:40:49
  before you're glorious miles. See if someone praying cast my
• 1:41:01
  crownd before.
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 4: High healthy, I am marked before your glorious magesty.
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 3: Sha la kata brat kapota.
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 1: Someone pray the test of courage the long way you speak.
• 1:41:34
  I will not only miss, and I will move if
• 1:41:37
  I fail. Let me fall here in you shut my
• 1:41:46
  soul share, not my soul share, not over your finances.
• 1:41:53
  My soul share, not over your spiritual life. My soul
• 1:41:59
  share not hear the name of Jesus crying share not
• 1:42:07
  it stands behind you like a mighty terrible one. Now
• 1:42:32
  pray over the second text. Lord, as you lift me
• 1:42:37
  take away the influence of my results over my life.
• 1:42:41
  Let it not influence me to a point that I
• 1:42:44
  forget you, to a point that I stopped living by
• 1:42:47
  the values that brought me that honor. Someone lifts your
• 1:42:51
  voice and climb before your makeup. And let it not
• 1:42:59
  be that when you are build houses, showing and your
• 1:43:07
  flocks and hurt some multiply that you will save My
• 1:43:11
  power and the might of my hand that's giving me
• 1:43:14
  this well got Now shall remember by the Lord, I calls.
• 1:43:20
  Now shall remember the Lord God, Ala shop and brank
• 1:43:27
  can't take her alia. Father, we asked you to help us.
• 1:43:54
  You have used the life of Gideon and the strategy
• 1:43:59
  that powert him to use three hundred men and defeat
• 1:44:05
  the media knites. Lord, there are mountains, there are heights,
• 1:44:12
  there are levels, and there are realms that we have
• 1:44:14
  not gotten to that we need to get to. When
• 1:44:18
  seasons in our lives where we need to make no
• 1:44:21
  table advancements, no table progress. Lord, we pray that the
• 1:44:28
  test of courage, May we pass that test, the test
• 1:44:34
  of courage. May we pass that test, the test of courage.
• 1:44:41
  May we pass that test here? And then, Oh God,
• 1:44:46
  I pray that, as you honor also, and as you
• 1:44:49
  give us results before the nations, before our contemporaries, before
• 1:44:57
  all men, may you grant us the amina to not
• 1:45:01
  be distracted by results, that we will celebrate your hand
• 1:45:08
  and your workings in our lives, but not to the
• 1:45:10
  detriment of our advancement. Help us of God, that in
• 1:45:16
  the midst of our results, may we remain focused. May
• 1:45:21
  we remain discipline, May we remain spiritual, May we remain committed,
• 1:45:28
  May we remain humble, in the name of Jesus and Lord,
• 1:45:34
  as we humble ourselves before you, let there be no
• 1:45:38
  limit to the decree and the dimension with which you
• 1:45:42
  will lift us. Now in the name of Jesus, I
• 1:45:46
  stand in faith with the Angel over this house and
• 1:45:51
  then the graces that I here represented, and I decree
• 1:45:55
  and declare over your life that the rich to keep
• 1:46:01
  moving until you leap over a wall, until you cross barriers.
• 1:46:07
  So the next season, may that grace rest upon you. Now.
• 1:46:13
  May that grace rest upon you now in the name
• 1:46:17
  of Jesus Christ. And I pray for you, for anyone
• 1:46:23
  here who, probably because of mistakes that you have made
• 1:46:28
  the glory that you once enjoyed it is now ecboard.
• 1:46:32
  It looks like the dimension of lifting your experience has
• 1:46:36
  seemed to leave you. The relationships and connections right now,
• 1:46:39
  I declare the same grace that grew back the heir
• 1:46:43
  of Samson. I stand by the power of the Prophetic,
• 1:46:47
  let there be restoration now, restoration of relationships, restoration of dignity,
• 1:46:56
  restoration of finances, restoration of joy. And by the power
• 1:47:03
  of the Prophetic, like Moses commanded the nation of Users
• 1:47:07
  to go forward in the name of Jesus Christ. Go forward.
• 1:47:13
  Go forward to new heights, to new levels, to new dimensions, spiritually,
• 1:47:21
  go forward, financially, go forward. In the name of Jesus Christ,
• 1:47:30
  and every power that has fought you until this conference
• 1:47:35
  to not allow you to break through powers of ancestry
• 1:47:39
  orchestrations in heavenly places. I stand by the run of
• 1:47:43
  a higher christol and appershonicntember la platos, in the name
• 1:47:47
  of Jesus be delivered from those powers. Now let the
• 1:47:54
  every testimonies for you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
• 1:48:00
  Stimony is in ministry, testimony is in family, Testimony is
• 1:48:05
  in your work with God. Finally, I pray for you
• 1:48:09
  everything that has stolen your passion for God, your passion
• 1:48:15
  for prayer, your passion for the secret place, your seal
• 1:48:20
  for spiritual things, destructions that have come through relationships, destructions
• 1:48:26
  that have come through your results. In the name of Jesus,
• 1:48:30
  I found the flames of your spiritual life. I found
• 1:48:34
  the flames of your prayer life. I find the flames
• 1:48:38
  of your world life. In the name of Jesus Christ.
