[0:00] Speaker 1: Glory be to Jesus.
[0:07] Speaker 2: Amen. I'm happy and truly very honored to be here.
[0:15] Speaker 2: And thank you so much Victory Life Bible Church. Thank
[0:19] Speaker 2: you for always receiving me. I love this church. In
[0:23] Speaker 2: the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. Please, I'd like us
[0:27] Speaker 2: to stand as we honor the angel over this house
[0:30] Speaker 2: and his dear wife, Apostle Achidume.
[0:33] Speaker 1: Thank you. Thank you so, so very much. And the
[0:39] Speaker 1: reason why I do this many times is because, just like.
[0:42] Speaker 2: The man of God said, everywhere you see greatness, everywhere
[0:46] Speaker 2: you see grace, don't ignore it.
[0:49] Speaker 1: Hallelujah. We are gathered here because of God, but we
[0:52] Speaker 1: are also gathered here.
[0:53] Speaker 2: Because of the vision and the obedience and the consistency.
[0:57] Speaker 1: Of one man.
[0:58] Speaker 2: Please, one more time, help me honor the grace of
[1:01] Speaker 2: God upon His servant.
[1:05] Speaker 1: Hallelujah.
[1:08] Speaker 2: Let me thank all those who received us. Thank you
[1:11] Speaker 2: for the graciousness. Thank you for the honor. The truth
[1:14] Speaker 2: is that there is nothing That we have outside of
[1:17] Speaker 2: the message of God. You know sometimes we politicize these statements.
[1:21] Speaker 1: But it is still the truth. Whether or not we
[1:23] Speaker 1: believe it.
[1:24] Speaker 2: Hallelujah.
[1:26] Speaker 1: Paul said I am what I am. By the grace
[1:31] Speaker 1: of God.
[1:32] Speaker 2: And every time you doubt that. All it takes is
[1:34] Speaker 2: for God to take one step out of your life.
[1:37] Speaker 2: And it doesn't matter what level you are.
[1:39] Speaker 1: You will come crashing.
[1:41] Speaker 2: Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
[1:44] Speaker 1: So if ever you see us doing the things that
[1:46] Speaker 1: we are doing, there is a hand behind us, you see.
[1:51] Speaker 1: And it is to Him that we give that glory.
[1:55] Speaker 2: Many years ago the Lord told me, He said, if
[1:58] Speaker 2: you will let men see me, there is nothing I
[2:01] Speaker 2: will not give you. That is it. If you will
[2:04] Speaker 2: let men see me, there is nothing I will not
[2:08] Speaker 2: give you. While we're standing, I just want to minister
[2:13] Speaker 2: to somebody.
[2:14] Speaker 1: Am I doing something right?
[2:16] Speaker 3: Hallelujah.
[2:20] Speaker 1: I'm sure technical people are working on it. Maybe you
[2:23] Speaker 1: work on the reverb. Thank you.
[2:26] Speaker 2: Thank you.
[2:27] Speaker 1: Hallelujah. Listen, let me teach you something. Every time.
[2:34] Speaker 2: You come to God trusting Him for lifting or trusting
[2:37] Speaker 2: God for everything, It is not difficult to walk with God.
[2:41] Speaker 2: Yours is to make a determination that your life will
[2:45] Speaker 2: be ever about revealing Him. The temptation of all men
[2:49] Speaker 2: is that we like to be celebrities. Especially because This
[2:54] Speaker 2: is a plague particularly in the African continent. We've come
[2:58] Speaker 2: from wounded backgrounds by default. So the pressure to want
[3:02] Speaker 2: to show that I have arrived, the pressure to want
[3:05] Speaker 2: to show that I have made it, I'm a great preacher,
[3:08] Speaker 2: it's a temptation that befalls all men.
[3:13] Speaker 1: But there is something about the revelation.
[3:15] Speaker 2: Of Jesus when you have. It doesn't matter how he
[3:19] Speaker 2: lifts you. You see, you will intentionally let people know
[3:25] Speaker 2: that my assignment here is that the more you look
[3:28] Speaker 2: at me, if I'm truly a mirror, you should not
[3:31] Speaker 2: see me. If you look at me and you still
[3:35] Speaker 2: see me, Then something is wrong with that mirror. If
[3:38] Speaker 2: you stand in front of a mirror. And see another person.
[3:41] Speaker 2: That mirror is an.
[3:42] Speaker 1: Object of divination. It's no longer a mirror.
[3:46] Speaker 2: To see you high.
[3:49] Speaker 1: And lifted up. Shining in the light of your glory.
[3:58] Speaker 1: Pour out your power and love.
[4:01] Speaker 2: As we sing holy.
[4:29] Speaker 1: Father, we thank you for tonight. It is an honor
[4:32] Speaker 1: to bring your word to your people. Thank you for
[4:36] Speaker 1: this great church.
[4:37] Speaker 2: Thank you for this amazing work, blessing the nations, blessing
[4:43] Speaker 2: this territory.
[4:44] Speaker 1: Lord, I pray that as.
[4:46] Speaker 2: I bring your word, that your people will see you
[4:50] Speaker 2: in your power, that they will see you in your wisdom,
[4:54] Speaker 2: and that you will glorify Jesus once again in this place.
[4:58] Speaker 1: For in Jesus' matchless name we have prayed.
[5:02] Speaker 2: Thank you once again.
[5:03] Speaker 1: Please be seated. Thank you, my dear people.
[5:06] Speaker 2: Thank you. Amen. So I'm teaching very briefly for tonight.
[5:12] Speaker 2: This is my first session with you. And I was very.
[5:16] Speaker 1: Touched when I saw the theme for the meeting.
[5:21] Speaker 2: It caught my heart because for me, it is a
[5:24] Speaker 2: representation of all that I know.
[5:28] Speaker 1: Stand for all that I live for. Everything that I do.
[5:33] Speaker 2: Is centered around the understanding of this theme. I have
[5:36] Speaker 2: taught across many subjects by the grace of God. I
[5:40] Speaker 2: have taught on faith. I have taught on healing. I
[5:44] Speaker 2: have taught on power, dynamics of the anointing. I have
[5:48] Speaker 2: taught on success in all its ramifications. I have taught
[5:51] Speaker 2: on prosperity. I have taught on purpose. I have taught
[5:54] Speaker 2: on destiny. But none of these teachings in themselves captivate
[6:00] Speaker 2: me as much as a theme that for me represents
[6:07] Speaker 2: the epicenter of.
[6:08] Speaker 1: The believer's pursuit.
[6:09] Speaker 2: Hallelujah. Every other thing we seek outside of this central theme.
[6:17] Speaker 1: Is just auxiliary knowledge.
[6:19] Speaker 2: The foundation, the pivotal point of the believer's pursuit is
[6:25] Speaker 2: Is on understanding the person of Jesus. You can get
[6:29] Speaker 2: a healing. You can get a miracle. You can get delivered.
[6:33] Speaker 1: You can prosper. Jesus is beyond a principle.
[6:39] Speaker 2: Principles that derive from the knowledge of his person. And
[6:43] Speaker 2: so as we delve into this subject. For the time
[6:47] Speaker 2: that I have. I want to request that you lend
[6:49] Speaker 2: me attention. And. I want us to assume the posture
[6:54] Speaker 2: of a student that is ever willing to learn. Because
[6:57] Speaker 2: sometimes what we know can't stop us from knowing what
[7:01] Speaker 2: we need to know. The Bible says in 1 Corinthians
[7:05] Speaker 2: chapter 8 and verse 2, it says, And if any
[7:07] Speaker 2: man think that he knoweth anything, he says that he
[7:11] Speaker 2: knoweth nothing as he ought to know. There is a
[7:15] Speaker 2: standard in the spirit that God desires and demands that
[7:19] Speaker 2: we rise unto as far as.
[7:22] Speaker 1: Knowledge is concerned.
[7:23] Speaker 2: And so I've come to lend my voice alongside the
[7:26] Speaker 2: many other preachers who have come and will be coming
[7:29] Speaker 2: perhaps to the end that we really understand Jesus probably
[7:37] Speaker 2: in a way that we have not seen him before.
[7:39] Speaker 1: And the end of revelation is empowerment.
[7:43] Speaker 2: Any dimension of light and truth that fails to empower
[7:46] Speaker 2: is false. For the Bible says that was the true
[7:50] Speaker 2: light that lighted upon every man.
[7:54] Speaker 1: If it is true revelation, it is for all and
[7:57] Speaker 1: then it empowers.
[7:59] Speaker 2: Ezekiel chapter 2, 1 and 2. The Bible says, He
[8:02] Speaker 2: said unto me, Son of man, stand upon your feet.
[8:05] Speaker 1: And he did not have the power.
[8:07] Speaker 2: Ezekiel chapter 2.
[8:08] Speaker 1: 1 and 2.
[8:10] Speaker 2: They didn't have the power to stand and verse 2 says,
[8:13] Speaker 2: and the spirit entered into me. When? Not before. When
[8:18] Speaker 2: he speak. So with his words came the empowerment.
[8:23] Speaker 1: Hallelujah.
[8:24] Speaker 2: The meaning of that is that whilst you are listening
[8:26] Speaker 2: to me in the name of Jesus, the grace component
[8:29] Speaker 2: that is behind everything I am saying, it will also
[8:32] Speaker 2: rest upon you. That at the end of this meeting,
[8:36] Speaker 2: you would not just live with an intelligent information, but
[8:39] Speaker 2: that number one, the word of God would have altered
[8:43] Speaker 2: your understanding and grace would have been deposited at a
[8:47] Speaker 2: higher dimension in your life.
[8:49] Speaker 1: You believe that?
[8:49] Speaker 2: Say amen. There are three questions I came to answer
[8:56] Speaker 2: in this conference as far as my session is concerned,
[9:00] Speaker 2: or three questions. areas that i came to look at
[9:03] Speaker 2: by the spirit of god number one i came by
[9:07] Speaker 2: the spirit of god to help us understand the person
[9:10] Speaker 2: of jesus and shortly we'll be going to the scripture
[9:13] Speaker 2: the text for the conference where the word was gotten
[9:16] Speaker 2: from it's important we understand jesus and in understanding jesus
[9:22] Speaker 2: there are three things i want us.
[9:23] Speaker 1: To consider number one who is he Who exactly is Jesus?
[9:29] Speaker 2: If you never had the opportunity to be part of
[9:31] Speaker 2: a Christian faith, perhaps you were somewhere across the globe.
[9:36] Speaker 2: Raised in one of the many religions, over 4,000 religions
[9:40] Speaker 2: that we have in the world And then you had
[9:42] Speaker 2: the opportunity to meet such a person And then now
[9:47] Speaker 2: to introduce Jesus What would you say? Sometimes we take
[9:50] Speaker 2: for granted because we have the leverage of a foundation
[9:54] Speaker 2: of Christianity Even if you were not personally born again
[9:57] Speaker 2: The fact that you grew up around everything church, it
[10:01] Speaker 2: makes it easier for you to just flow with the
[10:03] Speaker 2: understanding of Jesus. But when you meet someone who has
[10:07] Speaker 2: never had any encounter whatsoever, who would you tell him
[10:11] Speaker 2: Jesus is? Question two, what was his mission? Why did
[10:16] Speaker 2: Jesus come? You will be surprised, ladies and gentlemen, how
[10:21] Speaker 2: many individuals, how many believers, and that includes preachers, people
[10:26] Speaker 2: who shout from the pulpit week in, week out, who
[10:30] Speaker 2: cannot articulate with intelligence the mission of Jesus. Sometimes we
[10:35] Speaker 2: find ourselves victims of having knowledge across several things.
[10:41] Speaker 1: We know several things except what Jesus came for.
[10:43] Speaker 3: Hallelujah.
[10:46] Speaker 1: It's very important.
[10:48] Speaker 2: The third and final question that I hope that this
[10:50] Speaker 2: discussion tonight and then tomorrow would answer is, did he
[10:54] Speaker 2: succeed in his mission? And if yes, what is the proof?
[11:01] Speaker 2: Did Jesus really succeed in his mission? Because the revelation
[11:07] Speaker 2: of the third question is where the victory of the
[11:09] Speaker 2: believer lies.
[11:11] Speaker 1: And I'm talking to a church here that is cultured along.
[11:14] Speaker 2: The understanding of victory. So one last time, who is he?
[11:18] Speaker 2: Who is Jesus exactly? Beyond the walls of religion, who
[11:23] Speaker 2: is Jesus? Beyond the walls of history, who is he?
[11:29] Speaker 2: Beyond the Galilean that just walked across, born by a virgin.
[11:33] Speaker 1: In the midst of so much controversy, an.
[11:37] Speaker 2: Encounter with an angel, And then what was his mission?
[11:43] Speaker 2: You need to understand the mission of Jesus. Because our
[11:47] Speaker 2: assignment on earth as believers is an extension of that mission.
[11:51] Speaker 2: And if you do not have an understanding of that
[11:55] Speaker 2: mission foundationally, it will corrupt what you call purpose.
[12:00] Speaker 1: There is a big.
[12:01] Speaker 2: Difference between purpose and ambition.
[12:03] Speaker 1: They can be related, but one precedes the other.
[12:08] Speaker 2: Ambition without purpose will only.
[12:09] Speaker 1: Waste your time and you will rigmarole and go.
[12:12] Speaker 2: Around earth frustrated and then end your life in shame
[12:16] Speaker 2: and pain.
[12:17] Speaker 1: Hallelujah. So did he succeed?
[12:21] Speaker 2: I like the third point because this is what will
[12:24] Speaker 2: define the quality of the Christian experience of any two believers.
[12:31] Speaker 2: You will be learning in the course of this teaching
[12:33] Speaker 2: that principally the assignment of every believer is to eventually
[12:39] Speaker 2: be a validation. validator of the victory that.
[12:44] Speaker 1: Is in Christ that means the.
[12:46] Speaker 2: Entire span of your lifetime should be a project proving
[12:50] Speaker 2: to earth that indeed Jesus's mission did not fail and
[12:55] Speaker 2: if you fail to achieve that with your life you
[12:57] Speaker 2: have robbed God an opportunity from getting glory from your
[13:01] Speaker 2: life are we together and then if it is true
[13:04] Speaker 2: that Jesus succeeded in that mission what is the proof.
[13:09] Speaker 1: There has to be.
[13:10] Speaker 2: An evidence, an attestation to the fact that he defeated,
[13:15] Speaker 2: for instance, sin, Satan, hell and the grave. Because for
[13:18] Speaker 2: men in the body, that is just a religious cliche.
[13:21] Speaker 2: And we hardly can stand in defense to that statement.
[13:26] Speaker 2: But the Bible makes a profound statement. And let me
[13:30] Speaker 2: prime your curiosity already, Acts chapter 4 and verse 33.
[13:35] Speaker 2: The Bible says, and with great power gave the apostles
[13:40] Speaker 2: witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.
[13:45] Speaker 1: And it says, great grace was upon them all.
[13:48] Speaker 2: With great power, not with discussions, not with assumptions, with.
[13:52] Speaker 1: Great power, gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of
[13:57] Speaker 1: the Lord Jesus Christ.
[13:59] Speaker 2: Praise the name of the Lord.
[14:01] Speaker 1: You have that down? Let's go to Acts chapter 1 then.
[14:04] Speaker 2: Acts chapter 1, I'll read 10 and 11. This is
[14:07] Speaker 2: where the theme for the conference was derived from. Now
[14:11] Speaker 2: from a theological standpoint, Acts chapter 1... The Bible presents
[14:19] Speaker 2: the disciples now confused. Jesus had gone and promised them
[14:23] Speaker 2: that on the third day he would resurrect. And the
[14:26] Speaker 2: Bible tells us that when he resurrected, there were many
[14:28] Speaker 2: other activities that happened around his life.
[14:31] Speaker 1: And through a span of 50 days, he was on earth.
[14:35] Speaker 2: And among those 50 days, 40 days above the 50 days,
[14:38] Speaker 2: he spent it catching up on the remaining lecture that
[14:42] Speaker 2: he was having with the disciples who would soon be
[14:45] Speaker 2: apostles before him. His ascension to heaven. And he gathered them.
[14:51] Speaker 2: Asked them to wait. And as soon as he came
[14:54] Speaker 2: back to life. The Bible says he put them together.
[14:58] Speaker 2: And over a span of 40 days. He was expounding
[15:01] Speaker 2: to them the more. On the things that pertain unto
[15:04] Speaker 2: the kingdom.
[15:05] Speaker 1: Hallelujah.
[15:06] Speaker 2: Now at this time, many of the disciples did not
[15:10] Speaker 2: understand the things we know now.
[15:11] Speaker 1: The reason is number one, Jesus already told them that
[15:15] Speaker 1: he had many.
[15:15] Speaker 2: Things to tell them that they could not bear because
[15:18] Speaker 2: they had not.
[15:18] Speaker 1: Received the Holy Spirit.
[15:20] Speaker 2: The other things Jesus was going to tell them was
[15:22] Speaker 2: revealed by Paul.
[15:24] Speaker 1: Are we together now?
[15:25] Speaker 2: So the way the Christian faith is built is that
[15:27] Speaker 2: the gospel gives you the foundation, but the epistles give
[15:31] Speaker 2: you the structure of the believer's understanding. Jesus never taught
[15:35] Speaker 2: extensively about the ministry of the Holy Spirit. It was
[15:39] Speaker 2: Paul by the Spirit who gave a lot of order
[15:43] Speaker 2: and precision to the believer. We never knew who we
[15:45] Speaker 2: were in Christ because we were not taught, not even
[15:48] Speaker 2: by Jesus. But he did tell us that there were
[15:50] Speaker 2: other things that the Holy Spirit would help us to understand.
[15:54] Speaker 2: Are we together now? So in Acts chapter 1, they
[15:58] Speaker 2: were concerned about what they presumed to be the restoration
[16:01] Speaker 2: of the nation of Israel.
[16:03] Speaker 1: Because a prophetic word.
[16:04] Speaker 2: Had come that Israel would one day become a nation.
[16:07] Speaker 2: And that has happened historically. So in their minds, they
[16:11] Speaker 2: thought he was the Messiah who would come, defeat Caesar,
[16:14] Speaker 2: defeat Herod, and then now bring back the nation of Israel.
[16:19] Speaker 2: And so their following Jesus was not necessarily out of love.
[16:22] Speaker 2: They were hoping to get stakes, political appointments.
[16:26] Speaker 1: Are we together? When those governments were overthrown. That was why.
[16:30] Speaker 2: Peter, I mean James and John lobbied their mother because
[16:34] Speaker 2: when they saw that the process, I mean this invincible man,
[16:38] Speaker 2: it looked.
[16:38] Speaker 1: Like nobody would defeat him.
[16:39] Speaker 2: They spoke to their mother to try to lobby a
[16:42] Speaker 2: position for them. Remember the story? And so she already
[16:46] Speaker 2: came and used the heart of her mother to say,
[16:48] Speaker 2: my dear son Jesus. By the time you are done
[16:52] Speaker 2: with Herod and Caesar, would you grant that as you
[16:54] Speaker 2: sit down? It would be an honor for me as
[16:56] Speaker 2: a mother to see my children sitting at your left
[16:59] Speaker 2: and your right. When the other disciples had it, because
[17:01] Speaker 2: they too were high in that position.
[17:03] Speaker 1: They were angry.
[17:04] Speaker 2: They said, are you the only one who is interested
[17:06] Speaker 2: in this? And so as time proceeded and they noticed
[17:12] Speaker 2: Jesus was not saying anything about fighting Herod. fighting caesar
[17:18] Speaker 2: nor the promised opportunity they got angry and they started
[17:22] Speaker 2: asking him a question is listen it will no longer
[17:24] Speaker 2: be a rumor we have left all to follow you
[17:27] Speaker 2: what is in this thing for us we won't be
[17:29] Speaker 2: discussing quietly and feel cheated you get the whole story
[17:32] Speaker 2: now and jesus said aha finally he says no man
[17:35] Speaker 2: who has left this and that and that they still
[17:37] Speaker 2: didn't understand it is the reason why the moment jesus
[17:41] Speaker 2: gave up himself they all ran away they ran away
[17:44] Speaker 2: in pain it was beyond fear they felt cheated three
[17:47] Speaker 2: and a half years of their lives have been wasted
[17:50] Speaker 2: some of them were fishermen some of them were professionals
[17:53] Speaker 2: they left all to follow him because he gave them
[17:56] Speaker 2: a proposition that he was messiah they did not understand
[17:59] Speaker 2: it was a spiritual assignment They looked forward to the
[18:02] Speaker 2: fulfillment of prophecy where other, these hedonistic kings would be
[18:08] Speaker 2: overthrown by Jesus. Now Jesus finally gives himself and they
[18:12] Speaker 2: run away. Hallelujah. It's the reason why when he came
[18:16] Speaker 2: back to life, Peter felt guilty. John chapter 21, you'll
[18:20] Speaker 2: find that there. And Jesus comes to Peter. Peter said,
[18:23] Speaker 2: I go fishing. Let me go back to do what
[18:25] Speaker 2: I was doing. Before this deceiver came in the name
[18:28] Speaker 2: of a savior. And the remaining disciples said, we go
[18:31] Speaker 2: with you. They struggled and did not catch fish. When
[18:34] Speaker 2: Jesus came and met them, when Peter discerned that it
[18:38] Speaker 2: was a resurrected Christ, he said, depart from me. I
[18:41] Speaker 2: am a sinner.
[18:42] Speaker 1: When you now get.
[18:43] Speaker 2: To verse 15, Jesus looks at John 21 and verse 15.
[18:47] Speaker 2: He says, Peter, now I meant, I said John, Peter, really. Simon,
[18:54] Speaker 2: but Jonah, lovest thou me more than these? And then
[18:58] Speaker 2: they began that discussion and he said, feed my sheep,
[19:01] Speaker 2: feed my lamb.
[19:02] Speaker 1: And Peter was broken, he was caught to the heart.
[19:05] Speaker 2: And you would see a converted Peter, standing in defense
[19:09] Speaker 2: of truth in Acts chapter 2. When the Holy Ghost
[19:13] Speaker 2: came upon them on the day of Pentecost, Peter got
[19:15] Speaker 2: up and said, I ran away once, I will not
[19:18] Speaker 2: run away again. He said, this is that which was
[19:20] Speaker 2: prophesied by Joel. I just wanted to give you a background.
[19:25] Speaker 2: Jesus was giving them his final charge before leaving, Acts
[19:28] Speaker 2: chapter 1. They now said, would you at this time
[19:31] Speaker 2: restore the kingdom, the nation of Israel? And then he
[19:35] Speaker 2: replied by saying, it is not for you to know
[19:37] Speaker 2: the times that the Father.
[19:39] Speaker 1: Has put within his care.
[19:40] Speaker 2: Verse 8 now says, but ye shall receive power after
[19:45] Speaker 2: that the Holy Ghost has come upon you.
[19:47] Speaker 1: Are we Bible students? It says, and you shall be witness.
[19:50] Speaker 2: Unto me in jerusalem in judea samaria and to the
[19:54] Speaker 2: uttermost part of the.
[19:55] Speaker 1: Earth now verse.
[19:59] Speaker 2: 10 or verse 9 well 10 for sake of time
[20:04] Speaker 2: The Bible says that while they looked at him as
[20:07] Speaker 2: he levitated right in their presence.
[20:09] Speaker 1: Isn't it amazing that this was not a vision? They
[20:11] Speaker 1: literally saw him bodily. He lifted up from.
[20:16] Speaker 2: The earth and was on his way and vanished through
[20:18] Speaker 2: the cloud. And the Bible says while they looked steadfastly
[20:21] Speaker 2: towards heaven. There appeared two men in white apparel. Verse
[20:26] Speaker 2: 11 now. Which also did say ye men of Galilee.
[20:29] Speaker 2: Why stand ye gazing up into the heavens?
[20:33] Speaker 1: Then he says.
[20:34] Speaker 2: This same Jesus. Now, let's speak English for a few minutes.
[20:41] Speaker 2: You don't tell anyone this same anything until they've encountered
[20:46] Speaker 2: that same thing before. You never introduce anything to a
[20:52] Speaker 2: person the first time and use the word same. Same
[20:57] Speaker 2: suggests that the person already has an idea of what
[21:01] Speaker 2: you are talking about.
[21:02] Speaker 1: Are we together now? So this same Jesus.
[21:07] Speaker 2: Is not a message for those who do not know him.
[21:10] Speaker 2: It's a message for those who want to increase. So
[21:13] Speaker 2: tonight I want to talk about this Jesus first. Then
[21:17] Speaker 2: we will talk about this same Jesus for those who
[21:21] Speaker 2: knew him. Because when you are talking to someone who
[21:24] Speaker 2: has never met him, You cannot say this same Jesus.
[21:28] Speaker 2: Which one? I've never even met him in the first place.
[21:33] Speaker 2: I want to introduce to you the Jesus of the Bible.
[21:38] Speaker 2: The one he wants the nations to know. Not the
[21:42] Speaker 2: one who has been battered through the lens of religion.
[21:47] Speaker 2: Not the one who has come under the prejudices of preachers, intellectuals, businessmen,
[21:55] Speaker 2: Culture and history. God demands and desires that there is
[22:00] Speaker 2: a portrait of Jesus.
[22:02] Speaker 1: That be presented to the nation.
[22:05] Speaker 2: There are about 8 billion people there about and counting.
[22:09] Speaker 2: Inhabitants on this earth right now. And out of them
[22:14] Speaker 2: statistics will tell us that there are only about 2.8 billion. Who....
[22:20] Speaker 1: Are professing or.
[22:22] Speaker 2: Practicing Christians That is a very scary statistics Especially because
[22:26] Speaker 2: we look forward To the imminent return of the Christ
[22:30] Speaker 2: And yet you can see that using these statistics It
[22:34] Speaker 2: seems like the church has not done a very great
[22:36] Speaker 2: job Because if you mark the church against all the
[22:41] Speaker 2: spiritual provisions that have been given, the name of Jesus,
[22:44] Speaker 2: the word of God, the ministry of the Holy Spirit,
[22:47] Speaker 2: the ministry of angels, the five-fold ministry, you would expect
[22:51] Speaker 2: that a better job should have been done in covering
[22:53] Speaker 2: that gap. Because the Bible says God's ultimate desire is
[22:57] Speaker 2: that all men will know Him and then to come
[23:01] Speaker 2: into the knowledge of the truth. Are we together now?
[23:04] Speaker 1: And so I think.
[23:06] Speaker 2: I have thought about this myself as to why there
[23:09] Speaker 2: are many churches, many preachers, many conferences, many conventions, many books,
[23:16] Speaker 2: many Christian names. And you would think that all of
[23:19] Speaker 2: those things should translate into an acceleration in terms of
[23:24] Speaker 2: in-gathering and harvest.
[23:26] Speaker 1: But it does not seem.
[23:27] Speaker 2: To be so.
[23:28] Speaker 1: And this has been statistically proven.
[23:30] Speaker 2: And the way the Christian faith was structured is such
[23:33] Speaker 2: that when you receive Jesus, it was not designed to
[23:36] Speaker 2: be hidden. There are few times they hid their convictions
[23:40] Speaker 2: and that was when they were persecuted.
[23:42] Speaker 1: And even at that, many of them became bold and
[23:46] Speaker 1: were willing to be martyred.
[23:47] Speaker 2: It then means there is something about the portrait of
[23:51] Speaker 2: Jesus we are selling to the nations.
[23:53] Speaker 1: Are we together?
[23:54] Speaker 2: Now from a technological standpoint, we have people who have
[23:58] Speaker 2: brought up softwares that are not even up to 15
[24:01] Speaker 2: years old.
[24:02] Speaker 1: And they sold that idea. That idea today is.
[24:05] Speaker 2: Used by over 4 to 5 billion people.
[24:08] Speaker 1: The Facebooks, the Instagrams.
[24:11] Speaker 2: I mean these ideas Some of them are younger than
[24:14] Speaker 2: 10 years Yet it penetrated Beyond the borders of culture Race,
[24:19] Speaker 2: demography And many have received them Because they structured those
[24:24] Speaker 2: applications In a way that men saw The value and
[24:27] Speaker 2: the need for it We have been presenting Jesus For
[24:31] Speaker 2: many years and the nations Are corporately rejecting him It
[24:35] Speaker 2: means we have to re-examine.
[24:36] Speaker 1: What we are presenting Are we learning? If it is
[24:43] Speaker 1: the God of the Bible, what is.
[24:45] Speaker 2: The difference between our presentation of Jesus and what happened
[24:50] Speaker 2: on the day of Pentecost? Because the Bible tells us
[24:54] Speaker 2: with no PA system, with no kind of advantage whatsoever,
[24:58] Speaker 2: Peter got up a frail fisherman and delivered a lecture,
[25:03] Speaker 2: a sermon for only God knows how long. And as
[25:05] Speaker 2: a result of that one presentation of Jesus, He wrapped
[25:10] Speaker 2: up his message by saying, let it be known to you, Israel,
[25:13] Speaker 2: that the Jesus you have crucified has today been exalted as.
[25:17] Speaker 1: Lord and Christ.
[25:18] Speaker 2: Your Bible, my Bible says they were caught to the heart.
[25:22] Speaker 1: And they said, men and brethren, what do we do?
[25:25] Speaker 1: When last did anybody ask you that question? Are we
[25:30] Speaker 1: together now?
[25:33] Speaker 2: And the Bible says as a result of that beautiful presentation, 3,000
[25:39] Speaker 2: people in one meeting. 3,000 people, no social media. 3,000 people,
[25:47] Speaker 2: no public address system. 3,000 people, no internet, no opportunity
[25:54] Speaker 2: to document.
[25:56] Speaker 1: As we have today.
[25:57] Speaker 2: 3,000 people, no access to Bibles freely given to everyone.
[26:03] Speaker 1: They were kept as scrolls in temples, read and folded back. 3,000 people.
[26:09] Speaker 2: So let's work together, ladies and gentlemen, as we attempt
[26:13] Speaker 2: to use the few minutes that we have to introduce Jesus.
[26:17] Speaker 1: The way he wants to be known.
[26:20] Speaker 2: John chapter 17 and verse 3.
[26:23] Speaker 1: Jesus made a very profound statement praying to the Father.
[26:27] Speaker 2: And he said, this is life eternal.
[26:29] Speaker 1: Jesus is speaking now.
[26:31] Speaker 2: He says, to know thee, the only true God and
[26:35] Speaker 2: Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. I think from scripture,
[26:41] Speaker 2: the most concise introduction of Jesus, in my opinion, That
[26:48] Speaker 2: is both enlightening and inspiring. Is found in John chapter 1.
[26:56] Speaker 2: Presented Jesus in such an intelligent manner. Now all other
[27:01] Speaker 2: synoptic accounts of the gospel. They came some from a
[27:03] Speaker 2: historic standpoint. Others came just with the testimonies and his humanity.
[27:09] Speaker 2: But John began tracing the divinity of Jesus. Let's read
[27:13] Speaker 2: the first 12 verses of John chapter 1 very quickly.
[27:17] Speaker 2: Is God helping someone already? In the beginning he says
[27:22] Speaker 2: was the word.
[27:23] Speaker 1: I like John. And the word was with God. And
[27:30] Speaker 1: the word was God. Can we continue? The same. Now
[27:35] Speaker 1: you see our word again. The same.
[27:38] Speaker 2: Haven't told you something before that time. He says keep
[27:41] Speaker 2: this understanding as we run through the list. The same
[27:45] Speaker 2: was in the beginning with God.
[27:48] Speaker 1: Then he now.
[27:49] Speaker 2: Begins to describe something beautiful. He says all things were
[27:53] Speaker 2: made by him. The same one.
[27:56] Speaker 1: That same word. And without him meaning outside of his influence.
[28:01] Speaker 2: Was not anything made that was made.
[28:04] Speaker 1: Next verse.
[28:05] Speaker 2: In him. Who is the him? The same one we
[28:08] Speaker 2: are talking about in verse 1.
[28:10] Speaker 1: In him was life. And that life was the light
[28:15] Speaker 1: of man.
[28:17] Speaker 2: And the Bible says the light that was in him
[28:19] Speaker 2: can shine through darkness. In a way that darkness would
[28:23] Speaker 2: never comprehend it. Verse 6.
[28:25] Speaker 1: There was a man.
[28:27] Speaker 2: Now he digresses to speak about John. Still strengthening the
[28:33] Speaker 2: understanding of that same person. There was a man he
[28:36] Speaker 2: says sent from God. Whose name was John verse 7.
[28:39] Speaker 2: He says the same man came for a witness. To
[28:43] Speaker 2: bear witness of the light. That men through the excellency
[28:47] Speaker 2: of his witness now might believe. He goes back to
[28:51] Speaker 2: his discussion. He was not that light. He was only
[28:56] Speaker 2: sent to bear witness of the light. Verse 9. That
[28:59] Speaker 2: was the true light. Who is he talking about now?
[29:03] Speaker 2: The same word now. Notice he never mentioned Jesus here.
[29:10] Speaker 1: That was the true light.
[29:13] Speaker 2: Which lighted every man that cometh into the world.
[29:16] Speaker 1: Verse 10. He said he was in the world.
[29:20] Speaker 2: And though the world was made by him. The world
[29:23] Speaker 2: knew him not. He came to his own and his
[29:28] Speaker 2: own received him not.
[29:30] Speaker 1: I wish I had time.
[29:32] Speaker 2: An intelligent mind will read verse 11 and not just
[29:34] Speaker 2: pass it. You will have to ask why. Because when
[29:38] Speaker 2: you come to your own, you should ask why. have
[29:40] Speaker 2: an advantage of reception. If I come to my people,
[29:43] Speaker 2: what happened that his own people rejected him? But the
[29:46] Speaker 2: Bible says, verse 12.
[29:50] Speaker 1: But as many as.
[29:53] Speaker 2: Received him, to them he gave power to become the
[30:04] Speaker 2: sons of god even to them that believe on his
[30:08] Speaker 2: name blessed be the name of the lord.
[30:12] Speaker 1: Who is jesus god began to reveal himself.
[30:18] Speaker 2: All through scripture and he revealed himself dimensionally in many ways,
[30:25] Speaker 2: particularly to the nation of Israel. They named him all
[30:29] Speaker 2: the names that you know God to be. In the
[30:32] Speaker 2: Bible as captured Jireh, Rapha. These were different dimensions of
[30:36] Speaker 2: God that were captured in his name and preserved so
[30:40] Speaker 2: that generations will learn God. But for the sake of time,
[30:44] Speaker 2: I like to start by helping us understand God.
[30:48] Speaker 1: Who Jesus is. Number one.
[30:50] Speaker 2: The Bible tells us very clearly. That Jesus himself. He
[30:57] Speaker 2: called himself the son of God. Jesus called himself God.
[31:03] Speaker 2: He called himself the.
[31:04] Speaker 1: Son of God. John chapter 1 called him the word.
[31:09] Speaker 1: The Greek expression is the logos of God.
[31:14] Speaker 2: That means the thoughts of a man that seeks to
[31:17] Speaker 2: find expression, Jesus. The Bible calls him light, the light
[31:23] Speaker 2: of the world in fact.
[31:25] Speaker 1: Are we together?
[31:27] Speaker 2: But I think that for me, the greatest way to
[31:32] Speaker 2: really understand Jesus is to hear what he had to
[31:36] Speaker 2: say about himself. Many of us here have written books,
[31:41] Speaker 2: and one of the greatest ways to find out about
[31:44] Speaker 2: a man is to listen to what that man said
[31:46] Speaker 2: about himself.
[31:47] Speaker 1: Whatever a man says about himself.
[31:49] Speaker 2: Is considered the most trusted information about that man.
[31:53] Speaker 1: Do you agree?
[31:54] Speaker 2: So let's consider very quickly what Jesus said about himself.
[31:58] Speaker 1: I will run through.
[31:59] Speaker 2: The list, 10 of them scattered from scripture. We may
[32:03] Speaker 2: not have the time to explain because I just want
[32:06] Speaker 2: you to have an understanding of who and what Jesus
[32:09] Speaker 2: said he was.
[32:09] Speaker 1: Are you ready?
[32:11] Speaker 2: Number one, Jesus called himself the bread of life.
[32:16] Speaker 1: Please write that down. John 6, 35.
[32:19] Speaker 2: Jesus called himself the bread of life.
[32:25] Speaker 1: Number two.
[32:27] Speaker 2: Jesus called himself the light of the world. John 8, 12.
[32:34] Speaker 2: Jesus called himself the light of the world. My apologies
[32:38] Speaker 2: if I stretch you a bit. The light of the world.
[32:41] Speaker 2: You just write. Number three. Jesus called himself the door.
[32:47] Speaker 2: He said this about himself. I am the door. You
[32:51] Speaker 2: know what the door means? The authorized access point. I
[32:55] Speaker 2: came into this beautiful auditorium through a door.
[33:01] Speaker 1: You find that in.
[33:02] Speaker 2: John chapter 10 and verse 7.
[33:05] Speaker 1: You also find that in verse 9.
[33:06] Speaker 2: I am the door. What else did Jesus say about himself?
[33:12] Speaker 2: Jesus called himself the good shepherd. I am the good shepherd.
[33:19] Speaker 2: John 10, 11. I am the good shepherd. There are
[33:25] Speaker 2: bad shepherds, but there are good shepherds.
[33:29] Speaker 1: Are we together? Number five.
[33:33] Speaker 2: Jesus made a profound statement in John 11. Calling himself
[33:38] Speaker 2: the resurrection and the life.
[33:40] Speaker 1: Hallelujah.
[33:41] Speaker 2: I am the resurrection and the life. John 11 25.
[33:46] Speaker 2: I am the resurrection and the life. Number 6. What
[33:55] Speaker 2: did Jesus say about himself? He called himself in John 14.
[34:00] Speaker 1: And verse 6.
[34:01] Speaker 2: The way and the truth and the life. I am
[34:05] Speaker 2: the way he said. I am the truth and I
[34:10] Speaker 2: am the life. These were the words of Jesus, John 14, 6.
[34:14] Speaker 2: I am the way and the truth and the life.
[34:18] Speaker 2: He now said, no man cometh unto the Father. That
[34:21] Speaker 2: means there is no other way of accessing the Father.
[34:25] Speaker 2: I am not one of many options to the Father.
[34:29] Speaker 2: He clarified it by himself that there are no two
[34:33] Speaker 2: ways to the Father. He says, no man cometh to
[34:37] Speaker 2: the Father. So any man who claims to have a
[34:40] Speaker 2: relationship with the Father, ignoring Jesus, is lying.
[34:46] Speaker 1: Because Jesus said, I am the only way to the Father.
[34:51] Speaker 1: Number seven.
[34:52] Speaker 2: What did Jesus call himself? He called himself the true vine.
[34:56] Speaker 2: John 15, 15. I am the true vine. I like this.
[35:02] Speaker 2: I am the true vine. John 15 verse 1. My apologies.
[35:08] Speaker 2: And then verse 5. John 15 verse 1 and verse 5.
[35:11] Speaker 1: Please correct that.
[35:12] Speaker 2: I am the true vine. Can I give you three more?
[35:19] Speaker 2: Number 8. I like this one. Now we leave the
[35:24] Speaker 2: gospels and we go to Revelation.
[35:25] Speaker 1: Revelation.
[35:26] Speaker 2: Where john is caught up in the isle of patmos
[35:29] Speaker 2: and jesus continues speaking there he calls himself i am
[35:34] Speaker 2: alpha omega beginning and ending now i don't know how
[35:41] Speaker 2: a man would describe himself that way but this is
[35:44] Speaker 2: jesus for.
[35:44] Speaker 1: You alpha omega beginning and the ending.
[35:50] Speaker 2: Revelations 1 verse 8 Revelations 21 verse 6. Revelations 22
[35:59] Speaker 2: verse 13.
[36:00] Speaker 1: I'll take it again.
[36:02] Speaker 2: I am Alpha Omega beginning and the ending. Revelations 1
[36:09] Speaker 2: verse 8. Revelations 21 verse 6. Revelations 22 verse 13.
[36:18] Speaker 1: If you're with me, shout it loud, Amen. Number 9.
[36:25] Speaker 2: What did Jesus say about himself introducing himself to us?
[36:31] Speaker 2: In Revelation chapter 1 and verse 17, he called himself
[36:33] Speaker 2: the first and the last.
[36:36] Speaker 1: I am the first.
[36:38] Speaker 2: The originator and the culminator of all things.
[36:43] Speaker 1: I am the first and the last. I am the
[36:47] Speaker 1: first and the last. I am the first.
[36:51] Speaker 2: That means everything including what troubles you came after me.
[36:57] Speaker 2: I have the power to bring everything. I am the
[36:59] Speaker 2: first and the last. Whatever you face in your life.
[37:03] Speaker 1: Did not precede Jesus.
[37:04] Speaker 2: The only thing greater than Jesus must be what came
[37:07] Speaker 2: before him. He said, I am the first and the last. Finally,
[37:14] Speaker 2: what did God himself? Revelations 1.18.
[37:18] Speaker 1: Hallelujah. I am he that liveth. I was dead, but
[37:25] Speaker 1: not forever. I am alive forevermore.
[37:29] Speaker 2: I am he that liveth. I was dead, but only
[37:34] Speaker 2: for three days. Make sure every time you talk about
[37:37] Speaker 2: the Jesus who died, you remember that he only died
[37:40] Speaker 2: for three days. In the name of Jesus Christ. And
[37:45] Speaker 2: he says, I am alive forevermore.
[37:47] Speaker 1: Amen. Are we learning?
[37:53] Speaker 2: So Jesus had all this to say about himself. Called
[37:58] Speaker 2: himself many beautiful names. The word of God called himself
[38:03] Speaker 2: the resurrection and the life. Do you know why he
[38:05] Speaker 2: gave you all these options? Because the entire journey of
[38:10] Speaker 2: your life will be, listen carefully, you will need all
[38:15] Speaker 2: of these revelations of Jesus to survive your lifetime. He
[38:20] Speaker 2: took out time to spread an understanding of himself such
[38:23] Speaker 2: that there is no endeavor in life Are we together now?
[38:28] Speaker 2: As you sojourn through life, you must find a reason
[38:31] Speaker 2: to need Jesus. If you don't need Him as the
[38:34] Speaker 2: resurrection and the life, you will need Him as the door.
[38:37] Speaker 2: If you don't need Him as the door, one day
[38:40] Speaker 2: you will need Him as maybe the good shepherd.
[38:45] Speaker 1: With these ten.
[38:46] Speaker 2: Descriptions of Jesus, there is no man on earth who
[38:50] Speaker 2: is alive, who intends to live long, who will not
[38:53] Speaker 2: face a challenge that only Jesus by the description of
[38:57] Speaker 2: himself can solve. Did you get that now? If you
[39:01] Speaker 2: reject the bread of life, you will need the light
[39:04] Speaker 2: of the world. If you reject the light, you will
[39:07] Speaker 2: need the door. If you reject the door, you will
[39:10] Speaker 2: need the good shepherd. If you reject the good shepherd,
[39:13] Speaker 2: you will need the resurrection and the life. The day
[39:15] Speaker 2: sickness comes upon your body. If you reject the resurrection
[39:18] Speaker 2: and the life, the confusion that plagues our world, you
[39:22] Speaker 2: will need the way, the truth and the life.
[39:25] Speaker 1: If you reject him, you will need the true vine.
[39:31] Speaker 2: A time will come you will be so confused about
[39:33] Speaker 2: your life that's when you will learn him as the
[39:35] Speaker 2: alpha omega the beginning and the end.
[39:39] Speaker 1: Are we together.
[39:41] Speaker 2: And when you get to your final days on earth,
[39:44] Speaker 2: it will be very comforting for you to know that
[39:46] Speaker 2: he was the one who died. But now he is
[39:49] Speaker 2: alive and lives forevermore. And he said this about himself, because.
[39:53] Speaker 1: I live, you will live also. This gives you hope
[39:57] Speaker 1: beyond the grave. Are we learning now?
[40:00] Speaker 2: Now very quickly, I want us to examine why Jesus came.
[40:08] Speaker 1: Why Jesus came. Why did he come?
[40:13] Speaker 2: There are three principal assignments that represent Jesus' mission on earth.
[40:18] Speaker 2: And if you do not understand this, the foundation of
[40:21] Speaker 2: your Christian faith will be very faulty. And my Bible
[40:24] Speaker 2: says if the foundation be destroyed, he said what can
[40:27] Speaker 2: the righteous do?
[40:28] Speaker 1: Are we ready? Number one, Jesus, his first.
[40:32] Speaker 2: Assignment on earth was not even to die. You see that?
[40:36] Speaker 1: His first assignment on earth.
[40:38] Speaker 2: Was as an accurate revelation of the misunderstood God. Jesus
[40:45] Speaker 2: came as a manuscript to correct our understanding of God.
[40:51] Speaker 2: Until the manifestation of Jesus, nobody had an accurate understanding
[40:55] Speaker 2: of God.
[40:56] Speaker 1: So he came as a.
[40:58] Speaker 2: Revelation and as a manifestation of the misunderstood God.
[41:08] Speaker 1: In Hebrews chapter 11 from verse 1 to 3, the.
[41:10] Speaker 2: Bible says, God who in sundry times and diverse manners.
[41:15] Speaker 1: Spoke to us. Did I get that right? Hebrews chapter 1.
[41:18] Speaker 1: My apologies. 1 to 3.
[41:19] Speaker 2: God who in sundry times and diverse manners spoke to
[41:24] Speaker 2: us in time past by the fathers and the prophets
[41:28] Speaker 2: had in these last days spoken to us by his son.
[41:33] Speaker 2: whom He hath appointed heir of all things, and by
[41:37] Speaker 2: whom also He made the worlds.
[41:39] Speaker 1: Verse 3, let's read it together.
[41:41] Speaker 2: Who being the brightness of His, and the express image.
[41:47] Speaker 1: Of His person.
[41:48] Speaker 2: And upholding all things by the word of his power
[41:51] Speaker 2: you can stop there so the bible tells us that
[41:54] Speaker 2: jesus came as a physical manifestation of godhood they had
[42:01] Speaker 2: longed to see god you know the before jesus came
[42:05] Speaker 2: they only understood god through the lens of priests and
[42:09] Speaker 2: prophets whatever priests and prophets told them god was or
[42:13] Speaker 2: god was saying or god was doing the people had
[42:16] Speaker 2: to corporately believe it are we together And through the
[42:21] Speaker 2: lens of the prophets and the priests, you would see,
[42:24] Speaker 2: using Jesus as a reference, that many of them did
[42:28] Speaker 2: not do justice to the description of God.
[42:30] Speaker 1: There were many things in the Old Testament.
[42:32] Speaker 2: That was credited to God, that now.
[42:35] Speaker 1: From the lens of Jesus, we know they made a mistake.
[42:37] Speaker 1: Because they were humans.
[42:39] Speaker 2: When you read the Bible entirely from the lens of
[42:42] Speaker 2: the prophets and the priests, it will give you a
[42:45] Speaker 2: very confusing description of God. It will be a blend
[42:49] Speaker 2: of kindness and evil. It will be a blend, you
[42:52] Speaker 2: will hear things like.
[42:53] Speaker 1: An evil spirit departed from the Lord. And that statement
[42:56] Speaker 1: will confuse you.
[42:59] Speaker 2: Because the entire.
[43:01] Speaker 1: Nation of God's covenant people did.
[43:04] Speaker 2: Not have the privilege of personal experience with God.
[43:08] Speaker 1: Are we together?
[43:09] Speaker 2: God will isolate an individual, whether Moses, whether Samuel, and
[43:13] Speaker 2: have a covenant relationship with that person. And that person
[43:17] Speaker 2: would have the mandate of revealing God to the people
[43:21] Speaker 2: based on his experience. And Paul, mentoring us in 1
[43:24] Speaker 2: Corinthians 13, he said, we see impact. And we prophesy
[43:29] Speaker 2: in part. So it is a default in all men.
[43:32] Speaker 2: That no matter your level of alignment as.
[43:35] Speaker 1: A single individual.
[43:36] Speaker 2: Unassisted by the revelation of Jesus. You would not do
[43:39] Speaker 2: justice to your knowledge of God. You would see the
[43:44] Speaker 2: mix of divination and accurate prophetic manifestation. Even in the
[43:48] Speaker 2: lives of ancient prophets. Because many of them came from,
[43:52] Speaker 2: you know, traditional practices and so on and so forth.
[43:55] Speaker 2: It's important for you to get this background. Because Jesus
[43:59] Speaker 2: came as a correction to our understanding of God.
[44:03] Speaker 1: That means he came as a marking script. How many
[44:06] Speaker 1: of you know what a marking script is? A marking
[44:09] Speaker 1: script is.
[44:09] Speaker 2: The reference that is used to mark any other script.
[44:14] Speaker 2: So a teacher or a lecturer can tell someone, help
[44:17] Speaker 2: me and mark this.
[44:18] Speaker 1: He gives you a marking script. Are we together?
[44:21] Speaker 2: You compare the answers that were written against the.
[44:24] Speaker 1: Marking script is the reference. The first assignment of.
[44:30] Speaker 2: Jesus was to clarify the misunderstanding we had about God.
[44:35] Speaker 2: And he did that by living his life. god had
[44:41] Speaker 2: to accredit him and said this is my beloved son
[44:44] Speaker 2: in other words don't be afraid to hear him he
[44:47] Speaker 2: came from me that means whatever jesus did not do
[44:51] Speaker 2: is not consistent with the character of god it didn't
[44:54] Speaker 2: matter what the prophet said did you get that now
[44:57] Speaker 2: listen if you do not understand god from the lens.
[45:00] Speaker 1: Of jesus you will be confused demons will take advantage.
[45:03] Speaker 2: Of scripture and deceive you i hope you know that
[45:06] Speaker 2: satan also knows it is written The devil will make
[45:10] Speaker 2: you do many bad things having a scriptural reference. There
[45:14] Speaker 2: are many believers in confusion as to their Christian experience
[45:17] Speaker 2: today because they have... Jesus is not the focal point.
[45:23] Speaker 1: Of their pursuit. And because of that.
[45:26] Speaker 2: They are routing through different mechanisms. In search for God.
[45:30] Speaker 2: And the devil knowing your zeal. Without an understanding of Jesus.
[45:34] Speaker 1: As the reference.
[45:35] Speaker 2: He will use scripture to bring you into divination. And
[45:39] Speaker 2: you will get there. And not even know. All he
[45:43] Speaker 2: needs to do.
[45:43] Speaker 1: Is to show you where it was practiced in scripture.
[45:47] Speaker 2: Did you get that now? There are havelis today. If
[45:51] Speaker 2: you go to the shrine, a Bible is part of
[45:53] Speaker 2: the materials they use to conduct. And because you see
[45:56] Speaker 2: a Bible there, you.
[45:58] Speaker 1: Convince yourself that this must be God.
[46:00] Speaker 2: So Jesus came to correct it. Are we following now?
[46:12] Speaker 2: For those who are involved in sea adventures and voyage
[46:17] Speaker 2: and in geography, there is what they call the true north.
[46:21] Speaker 1: That whenever you are lost at sea, your.
[46:24] Speaker 2: First assignment is to determine the true north. If you
[46:28] Speaker 2: can find the true north, no matter where you are,
[46:32] Speaker 2: you will be able to through from that standpoint.
[46:37] Speaker 1: Whoever wants you to be.
[46:38] Speaker 2: Lost at sea will cripple your capacity to find the
[46:41] Speaker 2: true north. Because if you can find the true north,
[46:45] Speaker 2: you can know where you are. Jesus is that true north.
[46:51] Speaker 2: You want to know how right culture is?
[46:54] Speaker 1: Gauge it against Jesus.
[46:56] Speaker 2: You want to know how right the educational system of
[46:58] Speaker 2: the world is?
[46:59] Speaker 1: Gauge it against Jesus. You will be.
[47:01] Speaker 2: Learning shortly that a believer is not just one who
[47:04] Speaker 2: has surrendered his.
[47:05] Speaker 1: Life to Jesus. A believer is one.
[47:07] Speaker 2: Who has subscribed to Jesus as the thoughts of God.
[47:12] Speaker 1: The logos of God. Not just as a person.
[47:16] Speaker 2: That your entire life is governed by a, permit me
[47:19] Speaker 2: to use, a philosophy. So when people ask for your opinion,
[47:23] Speaker 2: you really don't have an opinion. You are already bound
[47:26] Speaker 2: by a thought that your life should, are we together now?
[47:30] Speaker 1: So when you ask me whether I like something or not,
[47:33] Speaker 1: it's not whether I like it or not.
[47:35] Speaker 2: It's about the position that Jesus reveals concerning that matter.
[47:39] Speaker 2: This is a believer's life. This will cure the various
[47:43] Speaker 2: confusions that plague our world today. When people ask me
[47:47] Speaker 2: opinions about many things I tell them as a person
[47:51] Speaker 2: My opinions can vacillate Based on culture, my experience And
[47:54] Speaker 2: so on and so forth Are you seeing that now?
[47:56] Speaker 2: But when Jesus becomes your reference It is not about
[47:59] Speaker 2: what you like or don't like It is not even
[48:02] Speaker 2: about right or wrong It is what is in Jesus
[48:05] Speaker 2: or not Did you get that now?
[48:08] Speaker 1: Jesus came as a correction Now The Bible says the Lord.
[48:14] Speaker 2: Is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love.
[48:18] Speaker 2: We have a right to doubt that word until that
[48:20] Speaker 2: scripture is verified in Jesus. What did Jesus do when
[48:24] Speaker 2: he saw sick people? Did he pass them? That means
[48:28] Speaker 2: God loves. We can now say it is true that
[48:31] Speaker 2: God loves because we saw Jesus living out that love life.
[48:36] Speaker 1: Are we together?
[48:37] Speaker 2: When you say God is holy and he hates sin,
[48:41] Speaker 2: you have a right to doubt it until you check Jesus.
[48:44] Speaker 2: He was a man tempted in all ways yet without sin.
[48:48] Speaker 2: When he entered the temple and he saw abuses of
[48:50] Speaker 2: the temple, he reacted. That was the thoughts of God.
[48:54] Speaker 2: That is God's opinion about any abuse in his temple.
[48:57] Speaker 2: Did you get that now? Jesus came, please do not
[49:00] Speaker 2: forget this. Jesus came as a reference and a correction
[49:06] Speaker 2: to our idea about God.
[49:08] Speaker 1: So when the Bible.
[49:09] Speaker 2: Says a lying spirit came from God, with all due
[49:13] Speaker 2: respect to those who wrote it, we now have the
[49:16] Speaker 2: audacity by grace through the lens of Jesus to correct
[49:20] Speaker 2: that statement because Bible tells us John chapter 1 answers
[49:24] Speaker 2: it full of grace and truth grace and truth There
[49:31] Speaker 2: is no variableness, no shadow of turning. It's not that
[49:35] Speaker 2: God cannot lie. God does not lie. He cannot lie.
[49:39] Speaker 1: Are we seeing that?
[49:40] Speaker 2: So we know that something was wrong with the experience
[49:43] Speaker 2: of the prophet who captured that vision. We must commend
[49:46] Speaker 2: them for at least documenting what they saw. This is
[49:49] Speaker 2: the reason why God gave us the Holy Spirit even
[49:53] Speaker 2: though we still have the Bible.
[49:54] Speaker 1: Because revelation is progressive. Are we learning? God loves.
[50:09] Speaker 2: But how much does he love? Study Jesus. How far
[50:13] Speaker 2: did Jesus go to prove the love of God? Greater
[50:16] Speaker 2: love had no man than this. Than a man laid
[50:19] Speaker 2: down his life.
[50:20] Speaker 1: Is that true?
[50:22] Speaker 2: You say the Lord is my shepherd. You can say
[50:24] Speaker 2: that scripture is a lie until you study how Jesus
[50:27] Speaker 2: walked with his disciples.
[50:28] Speaker 1: Was he careless? Did he leave them?
[50:30] Speaker 2: When he was at the sea and the sea was
[50:33] Speaker 2: about to capsize, you know, the boat, they woke him
[50:36] Speaker 2: up and he got up and did something about it.
[50:39] Speaker 2: Then we can trust that God is a good leader.
[50:41] Speaker 2: That means he's a father enough for me to.
[50:43] Speaker 1: Trust my life.
[50:44] Speaker 2: Are we together now that everything the bible says about
[50:48] Speaker 2: god you have a right to doubt it until you
[50:51] Speaker 2: verify it using the lens of jesus the first assignment
[50:58] Speaker 2: of jesus on the earth was to be a correction
[51:03] Speaker 2: correction This is the reason why nations train and send ambassadors.
[51:10] Speaker 2: Ambassadors are mandated, they are vested with the responsibility of
[51:14] Speaker 2: not just promoting bilateral relationships, but defending the interests of
[51:18] Speaker 2: the nations.
[51:19] Speaker 1: And in doing so, their.
[51:21] Speaker 2: First assignment is to give a worthy presentation of that nation.
[51:26] Speaker 1: Am I right on that?
[51:28] Speaker 2: They preserve everything that makes that nation admirable. Their culture,
[51:33] Speaker 2: their intelligence, whatever it is. When Jesus walked upon the earth,
[51:38] Speaker 2: all he was projecting was the Father. Because until that time,
[51:43] Speaker 2: the people had a mixed understanding about the Father.
[51:46] Speaker 1: I hope you know that when Jesus came, the nation
[51:49] Speaker 1: of Israel were under bondage.
[51:52] Speaker 2: Who is this covenant God that says, I have loved
[51:55] Speaker 2: you with an everlasting love.
[51:56] Speaker 1: And I have drawn you with my loving kindness. And
[51:59] Speaker 1: is happy.
[51:59] Speaker 2: Watching us go through the torture of the Roman government.
[52:04] Speaker 1: And when Jesus came, when he saw the.
[52:06] Speaker 2: Woman who was bound 18 years, he said, ought not
[52:09] Speaker 2: this woman, being a daughter of Abraham. In other words,
[52:13] Speaker 2: if you want to understand my ministry here, make reference
[52:15] Speaker 2: to what I told Abraham. He kept referring them to
[52:21] Speaker 2: the things that God said. Number two, let's hurry up.
[52:25] Speaker 2: What's the second assignment of Jesus? My life changed when
[52:30] Speaker 2: I understood this. I studied God From the lens of Jesus.
[52:36] Speaker 2: And it redefined God for me. If someone comes and
[52:40] Speaker 2: prophesies to you now. Now I'm not to be sarcastic.
[52:43] Speaker 2: Even if I'm the one. If I look at you
[52:45] Speaker 2: and say you'll die tomorrow. You have a right to
[52:47] Speaker 2: not be afraid. And judge my prophecy including my ignorance.
[52:51] Speaker 1: From the lens of Jesus. He said I am the resurrection.
[52:55] Speaker 1: And the life.
[52:57] Speaker 2: You see. And it is written is greater than I saw.
[53:02] Speaker 1: So. Your. Your knowledge of Jesus. Listen to me. It
[53:08] Speaker 1: may not be that the person lied.
[53:10] Speaker 2: It may even be that that's what Satan had in
[53:12] Speaker 2: plan for you. But because of your knowledge of God
[53:15] Speaker 2: through Jesus. Are we together now? That he came as
[53:19] Speaker 2: a life giving spirit. That gives you a lot of comfort.
[53:25] Speaker 2: Jesus himself gave the story of the prodigal son. That
[53:29] Speaker 2: means if you have a child and the devil is
[53:30] Speaker 2: telling you your child will not amount to anything, you
[53:33] Speaker 2: learn how God works by studying that story. And you
[53:36] Speaker 2: know that no matter how far, even if it's 10
[53:38] Speaker 2: years my child has gone home, my.
[53:40] Speaker 1: Intercession will be worth it.
[53:42] Speaker 2: Because prodigal children can return home. Listen, you have to
[53:49] Speaker 2: build your spiritual orientation from the portrait of the person Jesus.
[53:54] Speaker 2: Because religion has a portrait it wants to sell to you. Culture,
[53:58] Speaker 2: with all due respect, has a portrait it wants to
[54:01] Speaker 2: sell to you.
[54:01] Speaker 1: Are we together?
[54:02] Speaker 2: And if you have a mix of all these portraits,
[54:05] Speaker 2: the picture of God you.
[54:07] Speaker 1: Have is an ugly deity seated on the throne with horns,
[54:11] Speaker 1: desiring to destroy you.
[54:13] Speaker 2: You can re-edit that portrait with the intelligence of an artist.
[54:17] Speaker 2: Remove the things that are not there, and you have
[54:20] Speaker 2: the beautiful picture of a loving father. Many believers live
[54:25] Speaker 2: in fear. Many believers cannot walk with God because there
[54:28] Speaker 2: is a misrepresentation of.
[54:30] Speaker 1: God that was sold to them. If you are understanding me,
[54:33] Speaker 1: say Amen.
[54:36] Speaker 2: It is the reason why when we make altar calls,
[54:38] Speaker 2: we make it with audacity.
[54:39] Speaker 1: Because we know the one who is about to receive you.
[54:43] Speaker 2: The one who can live 99 for the sake of one.
[54:49] Speaker 1: Are we together now?
[54:50] Speaker 2: It is the reason why when we make an altar call,
[54:52] Speaker 2: we start clapping from the first person who comes. Because
[54:56] Speaker 2: every single soul that stands is what the blood of
[54:59] Speaker 2: that Jesus. When you know this as a man of God,
[55:02] Speaker 2: you will not frown if you make an altar call
[55:03] Speaker 2: and two people come. The devil will not tell you
[55:06] Speaker 2: you feel like a failure. Ask him, can you die
[55:08] Speaker 2: for the two people?
[55:12] Speaker 1: Do you have enough compassion to have died for the
[55:15] Speaker 1: two people?
[55:20] Speaker 2: The man today we call Billy Graham of blessed memory.
[55:24] Speaker 1: It was such an altar call. The pastor who got
[55:26] Speaker 1: him saved.
[55:27] Speaker 2: He felt discouraged and felt he had failed in ministry.
[55:31] Speaker 2: And one day he shouted like I'm speaking to you now.
[55:33] Speaker 2: And made such an altar call. And only one small
[55:36] Speaker 2: boy just throws out. And the man felt like a
[55:39] Speaker 2: total failure. Help me guess the name of that one
[55:41] Speaker 2: small boy.
[55:43] Speaker 1: Billy Graham.
[55:45] Speaker 2: He did not know that nations had come out for
[55:48] Speaker 2: that altar call. Is someone learning? Jesus came as a correction.
[55:58] Speaker 2: I want you to read the life of Jesus. Take
[56:00] Speaker 2: it as a project. Study the Gospels. Study Jesus to
[56:04] Speaker 2: understand God.
[56:06] Speaker 1: You are the one that we praise.
[56:10] Speaker 2: You are the one we adore.
[56:14] Speaker 1: Don't worry my people.
[56:15] Speaker 3: You give the healing and grace that our hearts always
[56:21] Speaker 3: hunger Oh, our hearts always hunger.
[56:28] Speaker 1: Can we sing it one more time?
[56:30] Speaker 3: That you are the one that we praise. You are
[56:37] Speaker 3: the one we adore.
[56:41] Speaker 1: You give the healing.
[56:43] Speaker 3: And grace that our hearts always hunger for.
[56:57] Speaker 1: This is the Jesus the nations are looking for.
[57:00] Speaker 2: This is the Jesus that both the rich and old
[57:02] Speaker 2: will see the need of him. The kind of Jesus
[57:07] Speaker 2: that only the poor need is not the real Jesus.
[57:11] Speaker 2: The kind of Jesus that only the rich need is
[57:13] Speaker 2: not the real Jesus. When Jesus is presented properly, all
[57:18] Speaker 2: men will run to him. Because the one thing the
[57:21] Speaker 2: poor and the rich need together is love. They may
[57:26] Speaker 2: have wealth, the rich. And the poor may lack wealth.
[57:30] Speaker 2: But no man can resist the power of love. That's
[57:33] Speaker 2: why it was love that defeated hell. Sin, Satan and
[57:36] Speaker 2: the grave. Number two.
[57:40] Speaker 1: Why did Jesus come?
[57:43] Speaker 2: Number two. He came to make the life of God
[57:46] Speaker 2: accessible to man.
[57:48] Speaker 1: By reconciling man to God. Please write that down.
[57:52] Speaker 2: The second assignment of Jesus when he walked upon the earth.
[57:57] Speaker 1: Was to make the.
[57:58] Speaker 2: Life of God accessible to man.
[58:02] Speaker 1: By reconciling man to God.
[58:08] Speaker 2: He came to make the life of God accessible to man.
[58:12] Speaker 2: john 3 16 for god so loved the world that
[58:15] Speaker 2: he gave his only begotten son victory life are we
[58:20] Speaker 2: still here that whosoever someone shout whosoever let the devil
[58:26] Speaker 2: hear you say whosoever When it has to do with
[58:30] Speaker 2: the life of God, whosoever, Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa, whosoever, cultist, prostitute, whosoever,
[58:39] Speaker 2: provided you believe in him, there are certain things that
[58:43] Speaker 2: were not.
[58:43] Speaker 1: Given to all. The Bible says he gave unto some apostles.
[58:47] Speaker 1: He gave unto some prophets. Are we together?
[58:51] Speaker 2: But when it has to do with the life of God,
[58:54] Speaker 2: He desires everybody, including your old grandfather. I know he's 85,
[58:59] Speaker 2: but he's still part of those in that list. Whosoever
[59:04] Speaker 2: believeth on Him should not perish.
[59:08] Speaker 1: But have life everlasting. John chapter 10 and verse 10.
[59:12] Speaker 2: Jesus was speaking and he said. The thief cometh not.
[59:16] Speaker 2: But for to steal. Please hear me believers. To kill
[59:20] Speaker 2: and to destroy.
[59:21] Speaker 1: But he said I am come. My manifesto.
[59:26] Speaker 2: That means every time you see me.
[59:29] Speaker 1: These are the things you should be thinking about.
[59:30] Speaker 3: Life.
[59:31] Speaker 1: Life.
[59:32] Speaker 2: Life. Every time you see me, life. If you are
[59:36] Speaker 2: sick and I show up, life. Defeated and I show up, life.
[59:42] Speaker 1: And it says I am come.
[59:43] Speaker 2: To give you that life. And to have it more abundantly.
[59:47] Speaker 2: Amplified says to its fullest.
[59:52] Speaker 1: Life. That means anything that looks like death is an attack.
[59:57] Speaker 1: You don't need to ask if it's the will of God.
[59:59] Speaker 2: Poverty, an expression of death. Sickness, an expression of death. Limitation,
[1:00:05] Speaker 2: an expression of death. Not having the ability to take
[1:00:08] Speaker 2: care of your children.
[1:00:09] Speaker 1: Don't ask if it's the will of God. Jesus said,
[1:00:12] Speaker 1: I have come.
[1:00:14] Speaker 2: Verify the things happening around you by my manifesto if
[1:00:18] Speaker 2: they do not look like things administer life he's.
[1:00:21] Speaker 1: Saying fight it no matter how long fight it the.
[1:00:25] Speaker 2: Devil will deceive you and make you look like i
[1:00:27] Speaker 2: think it's just god it's a lie he said i
[1:00:29] Speaker 2: am calm if you see me know that my ministry
[1:00:33] Speaker 2: is to.
[1:00:33] Speaker 1: Give life.
[1:00:36] Speaker 2: You are the one that we praise listen if you
[1:00:41] Speaker 2: notice as a preacher Listen, it will guide the kinds
[1:00:45] Speaker 2: of sermons you will preach. Once you mount the pulpit,
[1:00:48] Speaker 2: now I'm speaking to the body of Christ. You know immediately,
[1:00:51] Speaker 2: if you claim you love Jesus, the theme of your
[1:00:55] Speaker 2: ministry must be life.
[1:00:57] Speaker 1: At the end of your ministration, the.
[1:00:59] Speaker 2: Dead should come back, spiritually, emotionally.
[1:01:02] Speaker 1: Are we together now?
[1:01:03] Speaker 2: Everything that leaves people dead and keeps people dying.
[1:01:08] Speaker 1: Is partnership with Satan.
[1:01:18] Speaker 2: That someone is in this place right now You came
[1:01:20] Speaker 2: diagnosed That you have cancer And you just strolled into
[1:01:24] Speaker 2: church Because they told you.
[1:01:27] Speaker 1: That God is there If it is true that God
[1:01:31] Speaker 1: is there.
[1:01:31] Speaker 2: What is the proof Back to Jesus Where two or
[1:01:34] Speaker 2: three are gathered in my name He said I am
[1:01:37] Speaker 2: there So I know he is there not because of
[1:01:39] Speaker 2: any cloud I know He's there not because I fell
[1:01:43] Speaker 2: down when I stood up. Jesus already told us that
[1:01:46] Speaker 2: the moment you have two or three gathered in His name,
[1:01:51] Speaker 2: that there is an assurance beyond the realm of feelings
[1:01:54] Speaker 2: that He's there.
[1:01:57] Speaker 1: Are we together?
[1:01:58] Speaker 2: And if He's there, then you're connected to John 10.10.
[1:02:01] Speaker 1: Why is He there?
[1:02:03] Speaker 2: I am come.
[1:02:05] Speaker 1: I am come for this convention. I am come to
[1:02:08] Speaker 1: your family.
[1:02:10] Speaker 2: That the moment a father and a mother, a husband
[1:02:13] Speaker 2: and a wife and the children hold hands. The moment
[1:02:15] Speaker 2: they say, Lord we thank you for your presence. Everybody
[1:02:18] Speaker 2: is thinking life. The life giver has arrived. The life
[1:02:22] Speaker 2: giver has arrived. The one who will help us pay
[1:02:25] Speaker 2: the bills has arrived. The one who will take away shame.
[1:02:28] Speaker 1: Let them keep laughing while we invite him. Provided we
[1:02:32] Speaker 1: can get him to come.
[1:02:35] Speaker 2: Listen. Listen. this is my spiritual orientation as i minister
[1:02:41] Speaker 2: to people i will never minister to a people and
[1:02:45] Speaker 2: not minister life because number one his manifesto is to
[1:02:51] Speaker 2: be an expression of the life of god are we
[1:02:54] Speaker 2: together now it doesn't matter in what form or fashion
[1:02:59] Speaker 2: the sermon comes Whether it comes as a rebuke.
[1:03:03] Speaker 1: As a correction.
[1:03:04] Speaker 2: As an admonishment. As an exegesis of scripture. The end
[1:03:08] Speaker 2: point must be life. If I rebuke you of sin.
[1:03:16] Speaker 2: And I leave you there. I misrepresented Jesus. I must
[1:03:19] Speaker 2: go past it and show you. That after now rebuking you.
[1:03:24] Speaker 1: There must be life. If I tell you being poor.
[1:03:30] Speaker 1: Is not the way. And I leave you there. I
[1:03:33] Speaker 1: misrepresented Jesus. Because they are giving you the revelation. That
[1:03:37] Speaker 1: you are poor.
[1:03:37] Speaker 2: You are already aware. Your pain is enough information. That
[1:03:41] Speaker 2: you are in that state. I must show you the
[1:03:44] Speaker 2: biblical pathway. To life. Everything that is pro-life. Is worthy
[1:03:51] Speaker 2: of being taught in church. Provided it reveals Jesus.
[1:03:54] Speaker 1: Prosperity.
[1:03:57] Speaker 2: Increase.
[1:03:58] Speaker 1: Consecration.
[1:04:00] Speaker 2: Holiness. The revelation of Jesus. Spiritual growth. Are we together now?
[1:04:07] Speaker 2: Everything that can reveal Jesus and can reveal his abundant
[1:04:11] Speaker 2: life must be taught to the saints. This is why
[1:04:14] Speaker 2: he gave unto some apostles and prophets and teachers and
[1:04:19] Speaker 2: evangelists and pastors for the maturing of the saints.
[1:04:24] Speaker 1: Is somebody learning?
[1:04:26] Speaker 2: Next time they ask you why did Jesus come? Know
[1:04:30] Speaker 2: that he came to give life. And in order of priority.
[1:04:33] Speaker 2: Spiritual life is his first port of call. I have
[1:04:37] Speaker 2: taught and you may have heard me teach it. The
[1:04:39] Speaker 2: greatest need of an unbeliever.
[1:04:42] Speaker 1: Is salvation.
[1:04:43] Speaker 2: Everywhere you see an unbeliever, no matter what you give
[1:04:47] Speaker 2: that unbeliever, pocket money, a house, rent, advice, counsel, treatment,
[1:04:54] Speaker 2: just know that you only solve temporal problems.
[1:04:57] Speaker 1: This is the orientation every Christian must have.
[1:04:59] Speaker 2: The moment you see an unbeliever at the back of
[1:05:02] Speaker 2: your mind, your ultimate project on that man will be
[1:05:06] Speaker 2: to bring him to the kingdom. Whether he's a driver,
[1:05:11] Speaker 2: whether he's your cook, whether he's a barber. So when
[1:05:14] Speaker 2: you interact with unbelievers, it doesn't mean you harass everybody
[1:05:18] Speaker 2: every day and everywhere. But you know at the back
[1:05:20] Speaker 2: of your mind that my project on this man is
[1:05:22] Speaker 2: not complete until he receives the.
[1:05:25] Speaker 1: Life of God.
[1:05:28] Speaker 2: If believers had this orientation, the statistics I gave you
[1:05:33] Speaker 2: would have been covered long enough. Most believers do not
[1:05:36] Speaker 2: know why Jesus came.
[1:05:37] Speaker 1: So when most.
[1:05:38] Speaker 2: Believers say, I want to serve Jesus, they do not
[1:05:42] Speaker 2: know that what they are supposed to be understanding by
[1:05:45] Speaker 2: that statement is, I want to be an extension of
[1:05:49] Speaker 2: the reason why he came. The assignment of every believer
[1:05:55] Speaker 2: in the life of a non-believer is to get that
[1:05:58] Speaker 2: person to become a believer.
[1:06:00] Speaker 1: Are we together?
[1:06:02] Speaker 2: The greatest need, you may have heard me say, of
[1:06:04] Speaker 2: an unsaved person is salvation. The greatest need of a
[1:06:09] Speaker 2: saved person is transformation. The greatest need of a transformed
[1:06:15] Speaker 2: person is empowerment. The greatest need of an empowered person
[1:06:20] Speaker 2: is purpose.
[1:06:23] Speaker 1: This is how it works in the kingdom. So when
[1:06:25] Speaker 1: you see someone who is not saved.
[1:06:27] Speaker 2: Your first assignment is to get him to encounter the
[1:06:30] Speaker 2: God of the Bible. Beyond the man of God. Beyond
[1:06:33] Speaker 2: the church. The God of the Bible.
[1:06:35] Speaker 1: Through Jesus.
[1:06:38] Speaker 2: When that person becomes saved, your next project is to
[1:06:41] Speaker 2: submit him to the ministry of the word, scripture, the
[1:06:45] Speaker 2: ministry of the Holy Spirit, and the ministry of a
[1:06:48] Speaker 2: teaching priest.
[1:06:50] Speaker 1: According to Jeremiah 3.15.
[1:06:52] Speaker 2: That I will give you pastors or shepherds according to
[1:06:55] Speaker 2: my heart. It is the reason why we took our
[1:06:57] Speaker 2: time to salute the man of God and his wife.
[1:07:00] Speaker 2: We salute the investments that have been made to mature the.
[1:07:03] Speaker 1: Believers to this point. Including organizing such a conference like this.
[1:07:08] Speaker 2: Because it's intended to still upgrade your understanding and help
[1:07:12] Speaker 2: you to be of greater stature spiritually. But when believers
[1:07:17] Speaker 2: are transformed alone, they become frustrated. Because they know what
[1:07:21] Speaker 2: should happen, but the grace to make it happen is
[1:07:23] Speaker 2: not there. Transformation ends with the quality of the information
[1:07:27] Speaker 2: you have. You need empowerment. It's why when Jesus was
[1:07:31] Speaker 2: done teaching them after three and a half years, he says,
[1:07:34] Speaker 2: you know what to say, but don't go yet.
[1:07:36] Speaker 1: Tarry until power comes on your message. Otherwise you'll be frustrated.
[1:07:42] Speaker 2: And then when you are empowered without purpose, it becomes destructive.
[1:07:46] Speaker 2: It's like a car that has fuel, tires working fine,
[1:07:49] Speaker 2: and you fire it with no direction.
[1:07:53] Speaker 1: Is someone learning?
[1:07:55] Speaker 2: The second reason Jesus came, Was to grant us access
[1:07:58] Speaker 2: to the life of God.
[1:08:00] Speaker 1: Someone shout I have.
[1:08:01] Speaker 2: A life of God. That's if you are born again.
[1:08:04] Speaker 2: If you are not born again. As I make the
[1:08:06] Speaker 2: altar call. Just run and come and stand here. Are
[1:08:08] Speaker 2: we together? If you have the life of God. Say
[1:08:12] Speaker 2: I have the life of God. Let me ask you
[1:08:16] Speaker 2: a very interesting question. How are you sure you have
[1:08:18] Speaker 2: the life of God? You just said you have the
[1:08:23] Speaker 2: life of God. How are you sure you are not lying?
[1:08:29] Speaker 1: You see that now? You must have persuasion and confidence.
[1:08:34] Speaker 2: If I random pick anybody now and I said, my dear,
[1:08:37] Speaker 2: do you have the life of God?
[1:08:38] Speaker 1: You say, yes. I say, why?
[1:08:39] Speaker 2: You say, the Bible says so. Yes, you are right,
[1:08:41] Speaker 2: but that's not enough reason. How are you sure you
[1:08:44] Speaker 2: have the life of God? It's the same question saying,
[1:08:48] Speaker 2: how are you sure you have eaten and you are full?
[1:08:52] Speaker 2: You see that now? The things we have seen. The
[1:08:56] Speaker 2: things we have handled, even of.
[1:08:58] Speaker 1: The word of life.
[1:09:02] Speaker 2: Because the Bible says, whoever calls upon the name of
[1:09:06] Speaker 2: the Lord shall be saved. Is that in your Bible?
[1:09:09] Speaker 2: It says in Romans chapter 10 from verse 9 and 10,
[1:09:12] Speaker 2: that if you confess with your heart that your with
[1:09:17] Speaker 2: your mouth the lordship of jesus and believe in your
[1:09:19] Speaker 2: heart that god raised him from the dead you shall
[1:09:22] Speaker 2: be saved is that true he says for with the
[1:09:24] Speaker 2: heart man confesses man believes unto righteousness and with the
[1:09:29] Speaker 2: mouth confession is made unto salvation if you have not
[1:09:32] Speaker 2: gone through that process you are not saved period a
[1:09:38] Speaker 2: possible how about singing nice songs you are still not
[1:09:40] Speaker 2: saved you are not bad salvation is not about being
[1:09:44] Speaker 2: good or bad it's about a translation From one kingdom
[1:09:48] Speaker 2: of darkness into the kingdom of his dear son.
[1:09:50] Speaker 1: Are we together now? The best person in the kingdom of.
[1:09:54] Speaker 2: Darkness is still going to hell. Everybody say salvation. I
[1:10:04] Speaker 2: have the life of God. I truly believe it with
[1:10:07] Speaker 2: all my heart that I have the life of God.
[1:10:09] Speaker 2: If you don't believe you have the life of God,
[1:10:11] Speaker 2: you are not even going to be able to minister
[1:10:13] Speaker 2: to the sick. You don't believe you have the life
[1:10:15] Speaker 2: of God. There are many things you would not believe.
[1:10:18] Speaker 2: I believe that I have the life of God. When
[1:10:21] Speaker 2: you believe you have the life of God. Then you
[1:10:23] Speaker 2: can know that you are a life giving spirit. When
[1:10:26] Speaker 2: I prophesy upon you. I'm speaking from the overflow of
[1:10:29] Speaker 2: that life.
[1:10:33] Speaker 3: We give you God.
[1:10:36] Speaker 2: The highest praise. From the rising of the sun.
[1:10:43] Speaker 1: To the setting of the same.
[1:10:46] Speaker 3: We give you God. The highest praise. From the rising
[1:10:55] Speaker 3: of the sun. To the setting of the same. We
[1:11:01] Speaker 3: give you God. The highest praise. From the rising of
[1:11:09] Speaker 3: the sun. Do you know what it means to have
[1:11:16] Speaker 3: the life of God?
[1:11:17] Speaker 2: The life of God is not just another life that
[1:11:20] Speaker 2: is greater than the earthly life.
[1:11:22] Speaker 1: Please look at me, believers.
[1:11:24] Speaker 2: The life of God is an indestructible life. Many believers
[1:11:28] Speaker 2: do not.
[1:11:29] Speaker 1: Understand the power of that life.
[1:11:33] Speaker 2: There's what they call bulletproof vehicles.
[1:11:35] Speaker 1: Please look at me.
[1:11:37] Speaker 2: You can have an SUV and you can have a
[1:11:40] Speaker 2: bulletproof version of it.
[1:11:41] Speaker 1: Am I right on that?
[1:11:43] Speaker 2: When you enter a typical bulletproof vehicle, if someone points
[1:11:47] Speaker 2: a gun at you, you smile at the person. Because
[1:11:49] Speaker 2: there is an orientation you have that between you and
[1:11:52] Speaker 2: that person is not just a mere glass. That person
[1:11:55] Speaker 2: will shoot the gun several times and you'll just be
[1:11:58] Speaker 2: smiling and waving at the person. So when the Bible
[1:12:01] Speaker 2: says you have the life of God, something has come
[1:12:04] Speaker 2: into you that has stopped you from being ordinary. Now
[1:12:09] Speaker 2: it takes revelation for the reality of that life to
[1:12:12] Speaker 2: come out.
[1:12:13] Speaker 1: Because the same people who went to a herbalist over.
[1:12:17] Speaker 2: You before you were born again will still go even
[1:12:19] Speaker 2: if you are born again. What will make the difference
[1:12:22] Speaker 2: is the life you have received. Not they are not
[1:12:25] Speaker 2: going to a herbalist. They will keep going. You can't
[1:12:27] Speaker 2: stop them.
[1:12:28] Speaker 1: Unfortunately.
[1:12:30] Speaker 2: They have their wills and God will respect it. But
[1:12:33] Speaker 2: what immunes you is the presence of the life of God.
[1:12:37] Speaker 2: They shall take up deadly things. It's only when we
[1:12:39] Speaker 2: get to heaven we'll know how many poisons we have
[1:12:41] Speaker 2: taken in our lives as men of God. It's only
[1:12:44] Speaker 2: when we get to heaven we'll know how many times
[1:12:46] Speaker 2: the names I usually joke with my people.
[1:12:48] Speaker 1: I said only God knows how.
[1:12:49] Speaker 2: Many people have carried my names to Habbalist and they
[1:12:53] Speaker 2: shout Joshua Selman. Let him not wake up and be
[1:12:57] Speaker 2: alive for Sunday and on Sunday I'm back again. My God,
[1:13:02] Speaker 2: the life of God. Now, I don't mean to sound arrogant.
[1:13:08] Speaker 2: You know how many charms I've held with these hands?
[1:13:10] Speaker 2: I'm not teaching you nonsense. If I were pretending this thing,
[1:13:13] Speaker 2: I would have been dead by now. Many times when
[1:13:20] Speaker 2: people are tired, maybe they are repenting or their families
[1:13:23] Speaker 2: are tired of all these things. They carry all those
[1:13:25] Speaker 2: things and come to you as a man of God.
[1:13:27] Speaker 2: Since we can't see God, you said you are the
[1:13:29] Speaker 2: one who he sent. Please help us and know what
[1:13:33] Speaker 2: to do with this. And you will hear that this
[1:13:36] Speaker 2: was something that was there before your grandfather was born.
[1:13:40] Speaker 1: They now hand it over to you. Are we together?
[1:13:51] Speaker 1: That the last person who held this thing did not
[1:13:53] Speaker 1: even wake up.
[1:13:56] Speaker 2: And here you are, you hold it like a toy,
[1:13:58] Speaker 2: a piece of rag and nonsense and throw it away.
[1:14:02] Speaker 1: Absolute nonsense and you throw it away. You see that now?
[1:14:09] Speaker 2: You see, what gives power or what takes away power
[1:14:15] Speaker 2: is your state and the revelation of it. I have
[1:14:19] Speaker 2: the life of God.
[1:14:20] Speaker 1: The same power that raised Christ from the dead. Dwells
[1:14:24] Speaker 1: in my mortal body.
[1:14:25] Speaker 2: That no enchantment and no divination. This is the revelation
[1:14:29] Speaker 2: that supports your confidence. Otherwise you will pick that thing
[1:14:32] Speaker 2: and fall down with it.
[1:14:37] Speaker 1: Say I have the life of God. We are discussing Jesus.
[1:14:41] Speaker 1: Say it again. I have the life of God.
[1:14:44] Speaker 2: Because ladies and gentlemen, the world will keep getting evil.
[1:14:47] Speaker 1: Arrows will keep flying by day.
[1:14:50] Speaker 2: Noisome pestilences by night. I tell you, there are many
[1:14:53] Speaker 2: kinds of kiss today that is not a kiss of love.
[1:14:56] Speaker 1: It's a Judas kiss. That kiss is not a sign
[1:14:59] Speaker 1: of love.
[1:15:00] Speaker 2: It's a sign to the enemy that this is the
[1:15:01] Speaker 2: one we want that will not finish this year. Two
[1:15:08] Speaker 2: women were sleeping according to scripture and one laid down
[1:15:12] Speaker 2: on her child, laid down on her vision, laid down
[1:15:15] Speaker 2: on her destiny and killed it. And when she saw
[1:15:18] Speaker 2: that she would not make it, she exchanged the destiny
[1:15:21] Speaker 2: with another one. Men, for you, if a mother can
[1:15:26] Speaker 2: do that to the child, human beings can do anything.
[1:15:29] Speaker 2: Your immunity is not to keep crying and say, you
[1:15:31] Speaker 2: people should stop being wicked. No.
[1:15:34] Speaker 1: Shield yourself with the life of God. Do you believe
[1:15:39] Speaker 1: what you are hearing? You are a preacher.
[1:15:43] Speaker 2: You keep laying hands on people. They are telling you
[1:15:45] Speaker 2: these things are communicable diseases. If you don't have a
[1:15:50] Speaker 2: revelation of the life of God, I promise you eventually.
[1:15:56] Speaker 1: Hello?
[1:15:56] Speaker 2: Eventually. So before you stand before Pharaoh, make sure you
[1:16:06] Speaker 2: have really seen the God of.
[1:16:09] Speaker 1: Who is sending you to Pharaoh?
[1:16:11] Speaker 2: Moses said, I'm not going anywhere till you reveal yourself
[1:16:14] Speaker 2: to me. I know who Pharaoh is. We grew up together.
[1:16:16] Speaker 2: I will not go and disgrace myself in Egypt.
[1:16:19] Speaker 1: Who shall I tell him has sent me? And he said,
[1:16:22] Speaker 1: I am that I am.
[1:16:24] Speaker 2: And Moses said, let's go. When he stood before Pharaoh,
[1:16:27] Speaker 2: he said, Pharaoh, thus said the Lord God of the Hebrews,
[1:16:30] Speaker 2: let my people go.
[1:16:32] Speaker 1: And Pharaoh said, nonsense.
[1:16:34] Speaker 2: You just get up and come after running away for
[1:16:36] Speaker 2: 40 years? you come with a rod looking like somebody
[1:16:40] Speaker 2: fugitive and you think egypt is that dull that just
[1:16:45] Speaker 2: at a declaration of an old man they will release
[1:16:48] Speaker 2: this the same way you stand before poverty as a
[1:16:51] Speaker 2: poverty release my money and property say i was there
[1:16:53] Speaker 2: before you were born.
[1:16:57] Speaker 1: Do you know the kind of audacity it takes.
[1:16:59] Speaker 2: To open that gate and the spirit will tell you
[1:17:01] Speaker 2: your grandfather's tried knocking he knocked till he died Your
[1:17:05] Speaker 2: father tried knocking. He knocked till he died. For you,
[1:17:09] Speaker 2: who is this king of glory? Can you give them
[1:17:12] Speaker 2: a reply?
[1:17:17] Speaker 1: The Lord is strong and mighty.
[1:17:20] Speaker 2: That everybody who did ministry from your family, they said
[1:17:22] Speaker 2: they were called.
[1:17:23] Speaker 1: The spirit still killed them in shameful ways.
[1:17:27] Speaker 2: Everybody's afraid to take the mantle of ministry now that
[1:17:30] Speaker 2: mantle is already looking for you better get the revelation
[1:17:33] Speaker 2: of the life of god before you get to certain
[1:17:36] Speaker 2: places and speak over destinies somebody will tell you my
[1:17:39] Speaker 2: father is a witch is a wizard say don't worry
[1:17:42] Speaker 2: just come for the meeting make sure you have the
[1:17:44] Speaker 2: life of god and you have a revelation of it
[1:17:51] Speaker 2: let me tell you the truth There are certain calls
[1:17:55] Speaker 2: that are very dangerous if you don't have revelation.
[1:17:58] Speaker 1: You will not even live long. I tell you, ask
[1:18:00] Speaker 1: any preacher who knows God.
[1:18:03] Speaker 2: The spirits that will be assigned, there are spirits that
[1:18:07] Speaker 2: are not assigned to men.
[1:18:09] Speaker 1: They are assigned to mantles.
[1:18:13] Speaker 2: They don't follow individuals. They follow certain graces because of what.
[1:18:17] Speaker 1: Those graces would do.
[1:18:20] Speaker 2: So before you stand before Pharaoh, you must have a revelation.
[1:18:24] Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, can I tell you, every area I
[1:18:27] Speaker 2: know in Africa has some history of witchcraft, some history
[1:18:31] Speaker 2: of whatever, from masquerades to the worship of the.
[1:18:34] Speaker 1: Dead to whatever it is.
[1:18:36] Speaker 2: Now you suddenly emerge out of nowhere and just carelessly say,
[1:18:39] Speaker 2: I'm saved. And then you want to now spearhead something
[1:18:44] Speaker 2: heavy for the kingdom.
[1:18:46] Speaker 1: It takes light.
[1:18:49] Speaker 2: Some of the missionaries who came, they had a sincere heart,
[1:18:52] Speaker 2: but they did not have light.
[1:18:53] Speaker 1: Some of them never lived to return. Say it again,
[1:18:57] Speaker 1: I have the life of God.
[1:19:01] Speaker 2: I am absolutely convinced that no man can take my life.
[1:19:07] Speaker 1: When my assignment is not done. It's a revelation.
[1:19:10] Speaker 2: I took time to meditate upon it. I truly believe that.
[1:19:17] Speaker 2: You have no idea what this man standing before you
[1:19:21] Speaker 2: has gone through in the spirit. If I were making
[1:19:23] Speaker 2: empty noise, I would have been long dead by now.
[1:19:26] Speaker 2: Long dead by now. There have been many times in.
[1:19:31] Speaker 1: My life, sir.
[1:19:32] Speaker 2: About to take a trip and somebody will call me,
[1:19:34] Speaker 2: maybe some dear friend and say, Apostle, please don't take
[1:19:36] Speaker 2: this trip. I saw a ghastly motor accident and I
[1:19:38] Speaker 2: saw you die. And these are people who are great.
[1:19:41] Speaker 2: They are not just noisemakers. I know that's what the
[1:19:43] Speaker 2: devil planned. But what then is the excellency.
[1:19:46] Speaker 1: Of the life of God? The ability to rewrite your prophecy.
[1:19:49] Speaker 2: Did you hear what I said? Rewrite your prophecy. Now,
[1:19:55] Speaker 2: you don't just say, oh, I know. What is your revelation?
[1:19:59] Speaker 2: I lay me down and I slept. He said, I
[1:20:02] Speaker 2: wait for the Lord to sustain me. Who sustains? The Lord.
[1:20:07] Speaker 1: The same Lord who sustains is the one who owns
[1:20:09] Speaker 1: the earth. It's fullness. All the elements that are used
[1:20:13] Speaker 1: for divinity.
[1:20:14] Speaker 2: Nation they were his property the earth the sun and
[1:20:18] Speaker 2: he said the sun will not be used against me
[1:20:21] Speaker 2: the earth will not fight against me because i have
[1:20:24] Speaker 2: a covenant with the stones every manipulation of witchcraft works
[1:20:28] Speaker 2: based on elemental forces you have to use water earth
[1:20:32] Speaker 2: sun fire without these elements the supernatural cannot work and
[1:20:37] Speaker 2: already i have a covenant with all of them The
[1:20:40] Speaker 2: owner put me in that covenant. That the ecosystem should
[1:20:43] Speaker 2: not hurt me. On account of my status. And my assignment.
[1:20:50] Speaker 1: Do you believe this?
[1:20:56] Speaker 2: So it says no enchantment. That whilst you are sleeping.
[1:21:00] Speaker 2: Somebody is saying. You are first born to your father.
[1:21:04] Speaker 2: May they all die in your hands. And they are
[1:21:06] Speaker 2: chanting it. And you find rest.
[1:21:08] Speaker 1: You shake yourself like a warrior that you are.
[1:21:11] Speaker 2: I have the life of God.
[1:21:13] Speaker 1: An indestructible life. An indestructible life.
[1:21:17] Speaker 2: I have a family relationship with God. I'm not a
[1:21:20] Speaker 2: stranger somewhere looking for access.
[1:21:23] Speaker 1: He is my Father. He is the word Pata. Sustainer.
[1:21:28] Speaker 2: Defender.
[1:21:29] Speaker 1: Protector.
[1:21:34] Speaker 2: Let me give you the final one so we'll find
[1:21:36] Speaker 2: somewhere to pray.
[1:21:37] Speaker 1: Someone is getting angry. Getting angry and saying, so with the.
[1:21:41] Speaker 2: Life of God, this thing that has been going on
[1:21:43] Speaker 2: in my family, it's time to bring it to an end.
[1:21:46] Speaker 1: Did you hear what I said?
[1:21:49] Speaker 2: This issue of saying ladies get married and return back
[1:21:52] Speaker 2: to their parents' homes. No matter how it has prevailed,
[1:21:56] Speaker 2: I'm coming with the life of God to put a
[1:21:58] Speaker 2: full stop and say this is.
[1:22:00] Speaker 1: Where it ends.
[1:22:03] Speaker 2: How about the ones that people get married and the
[1:22:05] Speaker 2: woman is the man and the man is the woman? Huh?
[1:22:10] Speaker 1: Have you had that kind of thing?
[1:22:13] Speaker 2: The life of God. Listen, everything you are silent about,
[1:22:17] Speaker 2: you have authorized it to continue in your life.
[1:22:21] Speaker 1: Yes, sir. We give you.
[1:22:25] Speaker 3: God, the highest praise.
[1:22:31] Speaker 2: From the rising of the sun to the setting of the.
[1:22:35] Speaker 3: Same we give you god the highest praise from the
[1:22:44] Speaker 3: rising of the sun.
[1:22:50] Speaker 2: So number one the first assignment and mission of jesus
[1:22:54] Speaker 2: was to come as an accurate revelation and a manifestation
[1:23:00] Speaker 2: Of the misunderstood God. Correcting our understanding about God.
[1:23:04] Speaker 1: Number two.
[1:23:05] Speaker 2: Jesus came to make the life of God accessible to
[1:23:10] Speaker 2: all men by reconciling us to God.
[1:23:13] Speaker 1: Number three. Why did Jesus come? Listen to this.
[1:23:16] Speaker 2: He came as a model of God's expectation for man.
[1:23:22] Speaker 2: Jesus came as a model of God's expectation for man.
[1:23:28] Speaker 1: John 14, 12.
[1:23:29] Speaker 2: A model of God's expectation for man. He came as
[1:23:37] Speaker 2: a model of God's expectation for man. You want to
[1:23:40] Speaker 2: know how God expects you to live?
[1:23:42] Speaker 1: Look at Jesus.
[1:23:44] Speaker 2: He says, Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that
[1:23:46] Speaker 2: believeth on me, the works that I do, He shall
[1:23:50] Speaker 2: also do and greater works. Why greater? I've done a
[1:23:55] Speaker 2: teaching on that. The reason why you will do greater
[1:23:58] Speaker 2: works is because there are certain miracles that even Jesus
[1:24:03] Speaker 2: himself could not perform.
[1:24:05] Speaker 1: Do you know why? Because performing that miracle.
[1:24:07] Speaker 2: Would demand him dying. And since he had not died,
[1:24:10] Speaker 2: for instance, Jesus could not give anybody eternal life before
[1:24:15] Speaker 2: his death. He could heal, but everybody he healed still died.
[1:24:22] Speaker 2: The first person to receive eternal life was not by Jesus.
[1:24:26] Speaker 2: It was by the apostles. Jesus was the basis for
[1:24:29] Speaker 2: that eternal life. Nobody's sins could be indefinitely forgiven and
[1:24:34] Speaker 2: God's life imparted in its fullness. Because it would demand death.
[1:24:38] Speaker 2: And Jesus was still alive. So when he says greater works,
[1:24:42] Speaker 2: there is one miracle Jesus did not perform when he
[1:24:44] Speaker 2: was on earth. He raised the dead, but he could
[1:24:47] Speaker 2: not translate anybody from the kingdom of darkness to the
[1:24:50] Speaker 2: kingdom of his dear son.
[1:24:51] Speaker 1: Now with one declaration, every believer can make that happen.
[1:24:56] Speaker 1: That's what makes the world greater. Not greater miracles.
[1:25:00] Speaker 2: There are many other miracles Jesus did that were not
[1:25:02] Speaker 2: recorded in this book.
[1:25:03] Speaker 1: John 20, 30 and 31.
[1:25:06] Speaker 2: So if you are talking about greater in terms of
[1:25:08] Speaker 2: miracles or volume, no. Nobody has fed 5,000 people out
[1:25:11] Speaker 2: of nothing yet. That is a lifetime project for all
[1:25:14] Speaker 2: of us. So it's not talking about a greater miracle.
[1:25:21] Speaker 1: Are we together? Say Amen. Apostle, I don't know how
[1:25:28] Speaker 1: my destiny should look like. Look unto Jesus. He has
[1:25:32] Speaker 1: become the portrait for you.
[1:25:35] Speaker 2: Are we together?
[1:25:36] Speaker 1: Was he killed before his assignment finished?
[1:25:40] Speaker 2: No.
[1:25:41] Speaker 1: His dying was part of the process of the assignment.
[1:25:43] Speaker 1: That was why.
[1:25:44] Speaker 2: It was not weakness or limitation. That means like Jesus,
[1:25:49] Speaker 2: you have a right to place a demand and say
[1:25:51] Speaker 2: no power, my God, no force, no enchantment against my
[1:25:55] Speaker 2: destiny will take my life before my time.
[1:25:58] Speaker 1: Are we together? Number two, did Jesus fulfill his assignment? Yes.
[1:26:01] Speaker 2: Yes.
[1:26:03] Speaker 1: That means every one of us should.
[1:26:04] Speaker 2: Fulfill our assignments, our portions of assignments that we call purpose.
[1:26:09] Speaker 2: The roles that we have to play in that bigger picture.
[1:26:13] Speaker 2: Jesus was focused and dedicated and determined. He did not
[1:26:17] Speaker 2: come to the earth doing everything. He made his manifesto clear.
[1:26:21] Speaker 2: Are we together now? Yes. That means if you find
[1:26:25] Speaker 2: yourself doing too many things, it's proof that you are confused.
[1:26:30] Speaker 2: You should be busy, but not busy doing too many things.
[1:26:33] Speaker 2: There are few major things that actually define a man's life.
[1:26:36] Speaker 2: Being busy doing too many things is a sign of
[1:26:39] Speaker 2: lack of vision. Because one of the assignments of vision
[1:26:43] Speaker 2: is that it creates focus.
[1:26:45] Speaker 1: It coordinates your energy to target a few things and
[1:26:49] Speaker 1: to achieve them. Hallelujah.
[1:26:55] Speaker 2: He came as a portrait. Jesus was victorious. Satan could
[1:26:59] Speaker 2: not defeat him even though he tried. Men tried and
[1:27:02] Speaker 2: could not defeat him. Jesus was busy about it. He
[1:27:05] Speaker 2: was not lazy. That means every believer who is lazy
[1:27:08] Speaker 2: is being antichrist. Antichrist is not only.
[1:27:11] Speaker 1: When you deceive people.
[1:27:12] Speaker 2: If you act in a way and manner that is
[1:27:16] Speaker 2: not consistent with the portrait given to you, it is
[1:27:19] Speaker 2: an antichrist behavior.
[1:27:22] Speaker 1: Are we together?
[1:27:23] Speaker 2: I humorously say, whether you choose to serve Jesus or Satan,
[1:27:27] Speaker 2: in any case, none of them will accept you being lazy.
[1:27:35] Speaker 2: If you run away from Jesus because you are lazy
[1:27:36] Speaker 2: and come to Satan, he will push you back. He
[1:27:38] Speaker 2: will say, you can go. Because either way, diligence is demanded.
[1:27:43] Speaker 2: It doesn't matter who you serve. Are we together?
[1:27:46] Speaker 1: Are we together?
[1:27:55] Speaker 2: When I found out that Jesus did not fail in
[1:27:58] Speaker 2: his assignment, I made a covenant with my life and
[1:28:01] Speaker 2: my destiny that I would not fail in my assignment.
[1:28:04] Speaker 2: Someone say, I will not fail. Let the devil hear you.
[1:28:07] Speaker 1: Hear me.
[1:28:12] Speaker 2: My worship people, that means if God sent you here
[1:28:15] Speaker 2: and sent you to a Belkuta and there are songs
[1:28:18] Speaker 2: within your spirit and those songs should be like that's
[1:28:22] Speaker 2: bringing revival.
[1:28:23] Speaker 1: If you don't bring those songs.
[1:28:24] Speaker 2: To us, you have failed. If there is somebody here
[1:28:28] Speaker 2: who is supposed to be a kingdom financier and that
[1:28:30] Speaker 2: is your prophetic destiny. In your rising, you see, destiny
[1:28:34] Speaker 2: is like a relay. Many people depend on your own
[1:28:38] Speaker 2: succeeding to succeed. If Billy Graham was not saved, millions
[1:28:43] Speaker 2: of preachers would not rise because their destinies were connected
[1:28:47] Speaker 2: to his own.
[1:28:48] Speaker 1: Are we together?
[1:28:48] Speaker 2: For every one of you listening to me now, there
[1:28:51] Speaker 2: are at least two people beyond yourself connected whose achieving
[1:28:57] Speaker 2: and actualizing their destiny depends on your actualizing your own.
[1:29:02] Speaker 1: That means for every time you tell God.
[1:29:03] Speaker 2: I'm not serious with you, you are punishing all those
[1:29:06] Speaker 2: who have been connected to your grace. For every time
[1:29:10] Speaker 2: you tell the Lord, I'm not serious. One day I'll
[1:29:12] Speaker 2: think about this thing. I hear you have a call
[1:29:15] Speaker 2: upon my life. I will talk to you on that
[1:29:19] Speaker 2: in 2027. You peg somebody else's manifestation. Imagine if Apostle
[1:29:24] Speaker 2: Achidume did not manifest what God has breathed in him.
[1:29:27] Speaker 2: All the sons and daughters and the people now who
[1:29:29] Speaker 2: have risen on account of his apostleship will.
[1:29:32] Speaker 1: Be at the mercy. Listen, this is the reason why.
[1:29:36] Speaker 2: God can take the bishopric of men and give another.
[1:29:39] Speaker 2: And that's what he's doing this end time. God is merciful,
[1:29:43] Speaker 2: but he will not indefinitely allow a generation suffer because
[1:29:46] Speaker 2: of the carelessness of one person. When you demonstrate that
[1:29:50] Speaker 2: you are indefinitely not interested in growth and transformation, he
[1:29:53] Speaker 2: will honor your will, but he will take that bishopric
[1:29:56] Speaker 2: and give faithful men.
[1:29:58] Speaker 1: That was the mystery in the parable of the talents.
[1:30:00] Speaker 1: He collected from the one. Who did not see the value.
[1:30:03] Speaker 1: And gave the one. You thought he would collect it
[1:30:06] Speaker 1: and keep it.
[1:30:06] Speaker 2: No.
[1:30:07] Speaker 1: He collected it.
[1:30:10] Speaker 2: So you will find people who in this end time
[1:30:12] Speaker 2: started as evangelists, but later you will start seeing prophetic
[1:30:15] Speaker 2: dimensions and say, when did you become a prophet? It's
[1:30:18] Speaker 2: because their faithfulness has ended their mistake. Because a prophet
[1:30:22] Speaker 2: that was supposed to have risen and raised others decided
[1:30:25] Speaker 2: as an act of his will that I will not
[1:30:27] Speaker 2: be serious with God. And God has seen that there
[1:30:29] Speaker 2: are 10,000 other people tied to that grace. He will
[1:30:32] Speaker 2: find the next available faithful vessel and trust with that responsibility.
[1:30:40] Speaker 1: Are we learning? Jesus came as a portrait of what
[1:30:46] Speaker 1: you should be. I never read my Bible, I'm wrapping up,
[1:30:50] Speaker 1: and see a weak Jesus.
[1:30:52] Speaker 2: Jesus was not weak. I do not see Jesus who
[1:30:55] Speaker 2: ran away from demons, ran away from principalities.
[1:31:00] Speaker 1: No.
[1:31:00] Speaker 2: No. I saw a diligent Jesus who by age 12,
[1:31:04] Speaker 2: when his teenage colleagues.
[1:31:06] Speaker 1: Were roaming around, he was at the temple. Listen to me.
[1:31:09] Speaker 1: Let me speak to especially the younger people, the youth
[1:31:12] Speaker 1: in this church.
[1:31:14] Speaker 2: If you are going to be like Jesus, timing matters.
[1:31:18] Speaker 2: Timing matters.
[1:31:20] Speaker 1: Are we together? There is a time to invest in
[1:31:23] Speaker 1: your destiny. Invest in your destiny.
[1:31:26] Speaker 2: Make a commitment that you are cutting away distractions. You
[1:31:29] Speaker 2: have seen that there is an apostolic mandate. prophetic mandate,
[1:31:34] Speaker 2: an entrepreneur mandate. God has told you you'll be a
[1:31:37] Speaker 2: leader of leaders. Wishing and seeing it as a vision
[1:31:40] Speaker 2: and writing it in a book is only as good
[1:31:43] Speaker 2: as it gets until you stand.
[1:31:45] Speaker 1: Up and put it to work. When it has to
[1:31:47] Speaker 1: do with destiny, actualization, timing matters.
[1:31:50] Speaker 2: This is why God gives us advantages like restoration and
[1:31:54] Speaker 2: speed because he knows that by default something would have
[1:31:58] Speaker 2: compared with our time.
[1:32:01] Speaker 1: Hallelujah.
[1:32:02] Speaker 2: It takes time to know God. It takes time to
[1:32:04] Speaker 2: become genuinely anointed. It takes time to understand scripture.
[1:32:09] Speaker 1: Are we together?
[1:32:10] Speaker 2: It takes time to convince yourself that you are a
[1:32:13] Speaker 2: blessing to the world and not a curse. Start it now.
[1:32:16] Speaker 2: For someone, God is speaking to you already. You came
[1:32:18] Speaker 2: to church and God is saying, I've been trailing you
[1:32:21] Speaker 2: for five years. This, your unseriousness is going to punish
[1:32:23] Speaker 2: your family and punish the people who are looking up
[1:32:26] Speaker 2: to you. The reason for that is because there is
[1:32:29] Speaker 2: a prophetic mandate upon you and God has been patient
[1:32:33] Speaker 2: with you. Time to come to church, you are not interested.
[1:32:36] Speaker 2: Bible study, you are not interested. Prayer, you are not interested.
[1:32:39] Speaker 2: And God is saying, for every time you tell me no,
[1:32:42] Speaker 2: you are also telling many people no. I hope I'm
[1:32:47] Speaker 2: speaking to an apostle listening. I hope I'm speaking to
[1:32:50] Speaker 2: one prophet listening. I hope I'm speaking to one evangelist.
[1:32:53] Speaker 2: I hope I'm speaking to one kingdom financier. Hallelujah. We
[1:33:00] Speaker 2: live in a world where people like to celebrate dreams
[1:33:03] Speaker 2: and visions and keep it there. For 10, 20 years
[1:33:06] Speaker 2: they are still celebrating dreams and visions. It is often
[1:33:09] Speaker 2: said that the only way to make a dream come
[1:33:12] Speaker 2: to pass is to wake up. Provided you are still dreaming,
[1:33:18] Speaker 2: you will keep downloading intentions that will never come to pass.
[1:33:22] Speaker 1: Hallelujah. If you are Esther, are you going to fail
[1:33:31] Speaker 1: in your assignment?
[1:33:33] Speaker 2: If you are Elijah, are you going to fail in
[1:33:35] Speaker 2: your assignment? If you are Mary, will you rob us
[1:33:38] Speaker 2: of seeing Jesus?
[1:33:40] Speaker 1: Are we together?
[1:33:42] Speaker 2: If you are Anna the prophetess, are you going to
[1:33:44] Speaker 2: pray diligently until Jesus comes? I made up my mind
[1:33:49] Speaker 2: as a covenant with my destiny, that whatever role I
[1:33:52] Speaker 2: have to play, as far as making my contribution, To
[1:33:57] Speaker 2: the body of Christ is concerned. I will use my
[1:34:00] Speaker 2: lifetime to make that happen. And this is why you
[1:34:02] Speaker 2: see myself. Spend myself and I'm spent. Doing the things
[1:34:06] Speaker 2: that I do. First because I love this Jesus. But
[1:34:09] Speaker 2: then because I love his body. And I realize that
[1:34:12] Speaker 2: if destinies are connected to me in truth. Then I
[1:34:14] Speaker 2: must make the determination. That I will not let those
[1:34:17] Speaker 2: destinies fail. For someone God is speaking to you.
[1:34:20] Speaker 1: By now.
[1:34:21] Speaker 2: If you were serious five years ago. You would have
[1:34:24] Speaker 2: found the keys to wealth by now. By now you
[1:34:26] Speaker 2: would have started sponsoring conferences Based on God's calendar for
[1:34:30] Speaker 2: you You are already behind time That means in this
[1:34:33] Speaker 2: conference you will buy books If you are 30, 35,
[1:34:36] Speaker 2: 40 years And you have not started destiny And you
[1:34:39] Speaker 2: are friends with an 18 year old person Sleeping.
[1:34:41] Speaker 1: And waking up together That person has the advantage of.
[1:34:44] Speaker 2: Time He will repent when he is 20 and still
[1:34:46] Speaker 2: has time You are already 40 The time is against
[1:34:49] Speaker 2: you It means you double up in your productivity.
[1:34:54] Speaker 1: Am I challenging someone?
[1:34:56] Speaker 2: When someone by far younger than you is buying one book,
[1:34:59] Speaker 2: you buy two or three. Because time is against you.
[1:35:02] Speaker 2: You got born again at 30, okay.
[1:35:05] Speaker 1: I understand. Thank God you are born again. But it
[1:35:08] Speaker 1: takes a long time.
[1:35:09] Speaker 2: The person who got born again.
[1:35:10] Speaker 1: At 30 and the one who.
[1:35:12] Speaker 2: Got born again at 7, the advantage they have is
[1:35:14] Speaker 2: not the same.
[1:35:15] Speaker 1: Spirituality is.
[1:35:17] Speaker 2: But in terms of time, if all of you are
[1:35:19] Speaker 2: mentored under the same pastor, in 10 years that gentleman
[1:35:23] Speaker 2: will be.
[1:35:23] Speaker 1: 17 and you are... Going to be maybe 40. Is
[1:35:30] Speaker 1: God speaking to us?
[1:35:32] Speaker 2: Yes. If God intended for you to rise to an
[1:35:36] Speaker 2: executive level and you realize that assignment by the time
[1:35:40] Speaker 2: you are 50, you have 10 or 15 more.
[1:35:42] Speaker 1: Years in the civil service.
[1:35:44] Speaker 2: And because you did not give the kind of effort
[1:35:47] Speaker 2: you should have given. Not knowing it was in your
[1:35:49] Speaker 2: prophetic destiny. You would need an advantage. So when you
[1:35:53] Speaker 2: hear teachings about favor, you listen twice. Because there is
[1:35:58] Speaker 2: already something that is against you. Let me speak to
[1:36:03] Speaker 2: someone already. In the name of Jesus, who is the
[1:36:06] Speaker 2: son of the living God. Everything that does not make
[1:36:09] Speaker 2: your life look like the portrait of Jesus. To the nations.
[1:36:15] Speaker 2: No matter what it is. It dies here permanently. Shout
[1:36:20] Speaker 2: a believing amen. It dies here permanently. Jesus was always prayerful.
[1:36:27] Speaker 2: That means every spirit of prayerlessness.
[1:36:30] Speaker 1: That has trapped your life.
[1:36:32] Speaker 2: Allowing you to grow older without spiritual investment. I curse
[1:36:36] Speaker 2: that spirit right now.
[1:36:41] Speaker 1: From age 12. Jesus was at the temple.
[1:36:44] Speaker 2: Already learning. Maybe by the time you were his age.
[1:36:48] Speaker 2: Your parents were not even saved. And so you already
[1:36:52] Speaker 2: had a disadvantage. I pray for you in the name
[1:36:55] Speaker 2: that is above all names. That whatever it is that
[1:36:57] Speaker 2: makes you to not have an appetite for the word.
[1:37:00] Speaker 2: Spiritual laziness. Let it be caused right now.
[1:37:07] Speaker 1: Do you know. I've studied the life of Jesus.
[1:37:11] Speaker 2: I never saw Jesus with friends until he got the apostles, disciples.
[1:37:18] Speaker 1: What did he do as a teenager? I mean, he
[1:37:21] Speaker 1: was a young.
[1:37:21] Speaker 2: Man like every other.
[1:37:23] Speaker 1: Person, wanting relationships.
[1:37:26] Speaker 2: You see, love is a command, but relating with everybody
[1:37:29] Speaker 2: is not. You have to be determined in your life
[1:37:34] Speaker 2: that for the sake of what is on my head,
[1:37:36] Speaker 2: I'm wrapping up now, and the sake of where I'm going,
[1:37:39] Speaker 2: I will have to edit certain relationships. Don't say we're
[1:37:43] Speaker 2: born together. That's nonsense. Anybody who becomes a representation of
[1:37:47] Speaker 2: an antichrist.
[1:37:48] Speaker 1: System in your life, This is the system. You don't
[1:37:50] Speaker 1: have to fight them.
[1:37:51] Speaker 2: But you have to create room enough for the sake
[1:37:54] Speaker 2: of where you are going. When God called Abraham, he
[1:37:57] Speaker 2: went together with his relatives. But when he got to
[1:38:00] Speaker 2: the base of the mountain, he said, I've gotten to
[1:38:02] Speaker 2: a point where I have to go alone.
[1:38:04] Speaker 1: I love you. We have come this far.
[1:38:06] Speaker 2: Stay back. You will love me too much to not
[1:38:09] Speaker 2: allow me to.
[1:38:09] Speaker 1: Obey God if you go with me.
[1:38:11] Speaker 2: There are people who love you too much. They will
[1:38:13] Speaker 2: not allow you to pray. When you are fasting as
[1:38:16] Speaker 2: a young man, don't say this is too much. Whereas
[1:38:18] Speaker 2: they don't know the destiny that is on your head.
[1:38:22] Speaker 2: You pray for 10 minutes and say, no, no, no,
[1:38:24] Speaker 2: this is too much. Whereas they don't know what you
[1:38:27] Speaker 2: are you are standing in to stop over your family
[1:38:30] Speaker 2: and over the nations again i pray for you every
[1:38:33] Speaker 2: wrong relationship around your.
[1:38:34] Speaker 1: Life that is stopping.
[1:38:37] Speaker 2: You from becoming a manifestation of the lord jesus christ
[1:38:40] Speaker 2: i curse it right now shout a believing amen i
[1:38:44] Speaker 2: curse it right now Now listen to me. You would
[1:38:51] Speaker 2: think that because Jesus was the son of God, apostles are,
[1:38:54] Speaker 2: automatically he will be born and he will start his assignment.
[1:38:58] Speaker 2: Not even Jesus escaped the law of process. For 18 years,
[1:39:03] Speaker 2: from the time he became a teenager from age 12,
[1:39:06] Speaker 2: the Bible was silent about Jesus until he was 30.
[1:39:09] Speaker 1: Jesus, as we.
[1:39:12] Speaker 2: Know, Was building capacity.
[1:39:16] Speaker 1: And by the time he was starting. Guess what?
[1:39:18] Speaker 2: Satan still did not leave him. I pray for you.
[1:39:21] Speaker 1: The kind of preparation that you need to make. For
[1:39:25] Speaker 1: some of you.
[1:39:26] Speaker 2: You are behind time. You've never read any book here.
[1:39:29] Speaker 2: You are not making. Sowing to the spirit. Making the
[1:39:32] Speaker 2: kinds of investments. That design a great destiny.
[1:39:35] Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus. May God show you.
[1:39:37] Speaker 4: Mercy and give you speed. Show you mercy and give
[1:39:41] Speaker 4: you speed. Show you mercy and give you speed. Three
[1:39:47] Speaker 4: more prayers for you. I want you to please receive it.
[1:39:49] Speaker 2: Hallelujah.
[1:39:51] Speaker 1: Now hear me.
[1:39:53] Speaker 2: One thing I see in the life of Jesus is
[1:39:55] Speaker 2: that he never let help us. Even when he was
[1:39:58] Speaker 2: going to the cross. At every given point in his life,
[1:40:02] Speaker 2: there were helpers. When the people came to embarrass him
[1:40:06] Speaker 2: as touching financial issues, even a fish produced coin. When
[1:40:14] Speaker 2: you want to become like Jesus, you must understand the
[1:40:16] Speaker 2: mystery of the help of God. When I was coming
[1:40:19] Speaker 2: into this church, I've seen it many times, but it
[1:40:22] Speaker 2: occurred to me again, a people that have been helped
[1:40:25] Speaker 2: by God. Ebenezer. There are three ways that God helps
[1:40:30] Speaker 2: a man. Number one, he shows him his mercy. Number two,
[1:40:34] Speaker 2: he gives him access to men.
[1:40:36] Speaker 1: Number three, he.
[1:40:37] Speaker 2: Introduces him to the ministry of the Holy Spirit. These
[1:40:40] Speaker 2: are the three ways men are primarily helped by God.
[1:40:44] Speaker 2: The mercy of God is one way he helps. The
[1:40:47] Speaker 2: gift of men, he will help you through men. And
[1:40:50] Speaker 2: number three, he will open you up to the ministry
[1:40:53] Speaker 2: of the Holy Spirit who is called the helper. For
[1:40:55] Speaker 2: some of you right now, you would have become in
[1:40:58] Speaker 2: a greater measure. But demons have manipulated the ministry of helps.
[1:41:04] Speaker 1: Men never show up to help you. Men never show
[1:41:09] Speaker 1: up to help you.
[1:41:10] Speaker 2: Simple things become hard because Satan.
[1:41:12] Speaker 1: Does not want you to become. I pray for you.
[1:41:15] Speaker 2: In the name of Jesus, standing upon this altar from tonight, let.
[1:41:19] Speaker 1: Help come for you speedily. Let help come for you speedily.
[1:41:29] Speaker 2: In the name of Jesus, my final prayer for you,
[1:41:34] Speaker 2: There is one thing that Jesus said he was and
[1:41:37] Speaker 2: he is.
[1:41:38] Speaker 1: And he also said you are that.
[1:41:40] Speaker 2: Light. When he said I am the light of the world.
[1:41:48] Speaker 2: He also said you are the light of the world.
[1:41:51] Speaker 2: Therefore I want to pray for you. Whatever has made
[1:41:54] Speaker 2: you become darkness to others. They have marked you. And
[1:41:58] Speaker 2: said don't come near this man. Don't come near this woman.
[1:42:00] Speaker 2: He is a destroyer. He is not a life giver.
[1:42:04] Speaker 2: in spirit i pray for you in the name of
[1:42:06] Speaker 2: jesus the son of the living god you will begin
[1:42:08] Speaker 2: to manifest as light from tonight you will begin to
[1:42:12] Speaker 2: manifest as light you begin to manifest as light you
[1:42:18] Speaker 2: begin to manifest as light you are in this place
[1:42:23] Speaker 2: right now and you're saying apostle the jesus i metto
[1:42:28] Speaker 2: is not the one you just talked about then you
[1:42:31] Speaker 2: need to meet the real jesus The one I met,
[1:42:35] Speaker 2: what I was told about him, scared me away from him.
[1:42:39] Speaker 2: And I did not even go further to build a
[1:42:43] Speaker 2: relationship with him. Perhaps you may say, Apostle, honestly I
[1:42:48] Speaker 2: met Church and I thought Church was Jesus. I met
[1:42:53] Speaker 2: a man of God and I thought a man of
[1:42:55] Speaker 2: God was Jesus. We are in his image, but we
[1:42:58] Speaker 2: are not him. There is a real person called Jesus.
[1:43:01] Speaker 2: And you can encounter a man of God as a
[1:43:04] Speaker 2: means to get into Jesus. You can encounter church as a.
[1:43:08] Speaker 1: Means to get into Jesus.
[1:43:10] Speaker 2: I believe that.
[1:43:11] Speaker 1: Among the many people who.
[1:43:12] Speaker 2: Are here tonight, and please lend me your attention for
[1:43:15] Speaker 2: one last time. There must be one person who is
[1:43:18] Speaker 2: an apostle. This Jesus you just introduced is the one
[1:43:23] Speaker 2: I have desired. He's the one I've prayed for. He's
[1:43:26] Speaker 2: the one I've seen in my dreams. He's the one
[1:43:29] Speaker 2: I want to love, live for, and serve all the
[1:43:32] Speaker 2: days of my life.
[1:43:34] Speaker 1: There are two calls that I want to make here
[1:43:35] Speaker 1: in one very quickly.
[1:43:38] Speaker 2: Those who are saying, I have never known this genuine,
[1:43:43] Speaker 2: real Jesus. The fountain of love. The resurrection and the life.
[1:43:47] Speaker 2: And haven't heard you speak about him today. Bringing this
[1:43:50] Speaker 2: simple introduction of his person and his mission.
[1:43:53] Speaker 1: I want.
[1:43:55] Speaker 2: now in my life or number two those who are
[1:43:58] Speaker 2: saying i think i made this decision before but i
[1:44:00] Speaker 2: really did not understand what i was doing i was
[1:44:02] Speaker 2: just playing church now on hearing you especially that there
[1:44:06] Speaker 2: are destinies connected to me i do not want to
[1:44:08] Speaker 2: fail jesus fail my destiny nor fail those connected to
[1:44:11] Speaker 2: me that you want to come out and join them
[1:44:13] Speaker 2: here i'm going to count one to five.
[1:44:15] Speaker 1: You don't have to come out but that you mean.
[1:44:18] Speaker 2: Business with Jesus and you do not want to let
[1:44:20] Speaker 2: this convention just pass like that. As I count one
[1:44:23] Speaker 2: to five, I want you to finally win that war
[1:44:25] Speaker 2: over your destiny. I will request that you run and
[1:44:28] Speaker 2: come and stand here and give me the honor of
[1:44:31] Speaker 2: leading you to Jesus. The moment I count five, I
[1:44:33] Speaker 2: begin to pray. One.
[1:44:35] Speaker 1: Let's celebrate them as they come.
[1:44:40] Speaker 2: Two. Come.
[1:44:43] Speaker 1: Don't be afraid. Don't be ashamed.
[1:44:44] Speaker 2: Three.
[1:44:45] Speaker 1: Don't wait for anyone to come before you. This is
[1:44:48] Speaker 1: a personal matter and a personal affair. Are we encouraging them?
[1:44:54] Speaker 2: Three. The way you are clapping is the way men
[1:44:59] Speaker 2: will clap for you. After your victory emerges. Apostle, I've
[1:45:11] Speaker 2: lived my life anyhow.
[1:45:12] Speaker 1: Can Jesus receive me?
[1:45:13] Speaker 2: Come. Come.
[1:45:14] Speaker 1: He's able to give you a new beginning.
[1:45:18] Speaker 2: I've always known that I have the call of God
[1:45:20] Speaker 2: upon my life. But I've never been serious with him. Come. Come.
[1:45:29] Speaker 1: Thank you. Four. The final count and we're done. Five.

[1:46:00] Speaker 2: call when you come before jesus it is not just
[1:46:04] Speaker 2: the coming that translates to eternal life is that there
[1:46:07] Speaker 2: must be a determination in your heart For one minute,
[1:46:11] Speaker 2: I want you to take me out of your face
[1:46:13] Speaker 2: and just see Jesus standing here. And all that he's
[1:46:18] Speaker 2: telling you is, I love you. And we can start afresh.
[1:46:22] Speaker 2: I don't care what you have done or not done.

[1:46:27] Speaker 2: like the prodigal son. My hand has been upon your life.
[1:46:30] Speaker 2: I've been looking for you. Because your mother prayed before
[1:46:34] Speaker 2: she died. And I've come to honor that covenant.
[1:46:37] Speaker 1: But you've been running away. It doesn't matter. He's able
[1:46:40] Speaker 1: to give you a new beginning. As I lead you
