[1:21] Speaker 3: entire pastoral team.
[1:23] Speaker 2: Thank you. Thank you for your love. Thank you for
[1:26] Speaker 2: your labor. Hallelujah. When When I got in.
[1:30] Speaker 3: Here and just for the few moments that I spent
[1:34] Speaker 3: while he was here praying, I knew that it's good
[1:37] Speaker 3: to be under a visionary pastor. It's good to be
[1:43] Speaker 3: under a visionary pastor.
[1:45] Speaker 2: Hallelujah.
[1:46] Speaker 3: And you know, people hear you when you preach, but
[1:51] Speaker 3: they only follow you when you lead. Yeah. That you
[1:57] Speaker 3: are a good preacher does not mean people will follow you.
[2:00] Speaker 2: People don't follow preachers, they follow leaders.
[2:03] Speaker 3: And we thank you, sir, for being both a sound
[2:07] Speaker 3: preacher and a visionary leader.
[2:09] Speaker 2: God bless you. Hallelujah. Praise the name of the Lord.
[2:16] Speaker 3: Can we lift our hands in one minute and just
[2:19] Speaker 3: cry unto the Lord for an encounter tonight? They go
[2:26] Speaker 3: from strength to strength. Would you lift your hands. Cry
[2:30] Speaker 3: unto the Lord. Father give me an encounter tonight. By
[2:36] Speaker 3: your word. By your spirit. Let your word come with clarity.
[2:50] Speaker 3: Let it come with precision. Let it come with precision.
[2:54] Speaker 3: Let it challenge me. Let it build me up. Let
[2:57] Speaker 3: it empower me by the Spirit. In Jesus' marvelous name,
[3:04] Speaker 3: we pray. Thank you, Father, for your wisdom. Thank you
[3:08] Speaker 3: for your power. We submit ourselves to the influence of
[3:12] Speaker 3: your Word and of your Spirit. And we pray that
[3:16] Speaker 3: we'll be mightily edified tonight. To you be all the glory.
[3:21] Speaker 3: In Jesus' name, we pray. please you may be gloriously seated.
[3:28] Speaker 3: Gloriously seated. Thank you again for this opportunity. I love
[3:36] Speaker 3: conferences like this because they speak first and foremost to
[3:42] Speaker 3: the hunger that is locked up in every man as
[3:46] Speaker 3: far as encountering God is concerned. And then of course
[3:51] Speaker 3: it positions us as believers to manifest victory and that
[3:56] Speaker 3: in experience. I'm happy to be part of those that
[4:02] Speaker 3: God has ordained to help strengthen our feet and our
[4:06] Speaker 3: hands as we sojourn in the faith. And so I
[4:10] Speaker 3: pray in the name of Jesus Christ that the things
[4:12] Speaker 3: I'll be sharing for the time that I have, I
[4:15] Speaker 3: pray that it will add to our spiritual understanding and
[4:19] Speaker 3: it will help to build us so that we become
[4:22] Speaker 3: a matured people in Jesus' name. It was for this
[4:26] Speaker 3: purpose that Jesus gave what we call the fivefold. The
[4:30] Speaker 3: Bible says in Ephesians chapter 4 from verse 11 that
[4:34] Speaker 3: when he led captivity captive.
[4:36] Speaker 2: He gave gifts, men to men.
[4:40] Speaker 3: He gave some apostles and prophets and evangelists and pastors
[4:44] Speaker 3: and teachers for the perfecting or the maturing of the saints.
[4:51] Speaker 3: for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of
[4:54] Speaker 3: the body of Christ.
[4:55] Speaker 2: Hallelujah. Praise the name of the Lord.
[4:58] Speaker 3: So very quickly, I just want us to, you know,
[5:03] Speaker 3: I have a confession to make. When you come to
[5:07] Speaker 3: preach in a conference like this, particularly that which involves
[5:12] Speaker 3: matters of awakening, revivals, you know, deepening your walk with God,
[5:17] Speaker 3: there are an array of teachings. You can literally exhaust
[5:21] Speaker 3: the night talking about various aspects of our spiritual lives.
[5:27] Speaker 3: And any one of them at all, whether prayer, discipleship, consecration,
[5:31] Speaker 3: the word of God, victory, you can literally pick any
[5:34] Speaker 3: topic and time will fail.
[5:36] Speaker 2: You to exhaust it. So I just decided to put
[5:41] Speaker 2: a few words.
[5:46] Speaker 3: Truths, bodies of truth, so that within the time that
[5:50] Speaker 3: we have, I'll be able to bring them to help
[5:54] Speaker 3: strengthen our walk with God in Jesus' name. We'll look
[5:58] Speaker 3: at two scriptures or three very quickly, and then we'll
[6:02] Speaker 3: begin to discuss. I'm teaching tonight for a topic I
[6:11] Speaker 3: title Rooted and Built.
[6:15] Speaker 2: Rooted and built. Rooted and built. Two scriptures.
[6:20] Speaker 3: Matthew chapter 7. I begin my reading from verse 24.
[6:24] Speaker 3: Rooted and built. Matthew 7 and verse 24. Jesus is
[6:29] Speaker 3: speaking and he says, Therefore, whosoever heareth these sayings of
[6:34] Speaker 3: mine and doeth them, I will liken him unto a
[6:37] Speaker 3: wise man which built his house on a rock.
[6:41] Speaker 2: Reading to 27.
[6:43] Speaker 3: And the rain descended and the floods came and the
[6:46] Speaker 3: winds blew and beat them upon that house and it
[6:50] Speaker 3: fell not for it was founded upon a rock. And
[6:56] Speaker 3: everyone that heareth these sayings of mine and doeth them
[6:59] Speaker 3: not shall be likened unto a foolish man that built
[7:03] Speaker 3: his house upon the sand. And the rain descended, the floods.
[7:08] Speaker 2: Came and the winds blew.
[7:10] Speaker 3: And beat upon that house, and it fell, and great
[7:14] Speaker 3: was the fall of it. Colossians chapter 1. Paul is
[7:20] Speaker 3: praying a very serious prayer over the church in Colossae,
[7:23] Speaker 3: verse 9. And he said, For this cause we also,
[7:29] Speaker 3: since the day we heard it, we do not cease
[7:32] Speaker 3: to pray for you, and to desire that ye might
[7:35] Speaker 3: be filled with the knowledge of his will, In all
[7:38] Speaker 3: wisdom and spiritual understanding.
[7:40] Speaker 2: Verse 10. Can we read verse 10 together? One, two, go.
[7:44] Speaker 2: That ye might work worthy. Aha.
[7:49] Speaker 3: Being fruitful in every good work. And increasing in the
[7:54] Speaker 3: knowledge of God. You can stop there. Being fruitful in
[7:58] Speaker 3: every good work. And increasing in the knowledge of God.
[8:03] Speaker 3: The final read will be Colossians 2. Just one verse.
[8:06] Speaker 3: Colossians 2, one verse, and that will be verse six.
[8:10] Speaker 3: Let's read in concert when the media helps us put it.
[8:13] Speaker 3: All right, so one, two, go. Rooted, let's do verse seven.
[8:26] Speaker 3: Rooted and built up in him and established.
[8:30] Speaker 2: In the faith. Praise God.
[8:39] Speaker 3: The level of spiritual growth, the level of excellence in
[8:43] Speaker 3: the spirit, and the level of progress of a believer
[8:48] Speaker 3: can be measured. There are parameters that the Bible provides
[8:53] Speaker 3: to measure the level of excellence, of growth, or of
[8:57] Speaker 3: maturity of a believer. There are an array of parameters.
[9:01] Speaker 3: For example, The depth of your intimacy and your devotion
[9:06] Speaker 3: unto God is one of the parameters that can test
[9:10] Speaker 3: and prove as to whether you are growing and you
[9:14] Speaker 3: are excelling spiritually. Another parameter would be character. The manifestation
[9:20] Speaker 3: of the fruit of the Spirit at work in your life.
[9:25] Speaker 3: Number three will be your level of illumination and spiritual understanding.
[9:30] Speaker 3: So I'm saying that when a man is growing spiritually,
[9:34] Speaker 3: when he's making spiritual progress, there are indices. It's not
[9:38] Speaker 3: something you assume. You don't assume growth. You don't claim growth.
[9:43] Speaker 3: There are very clear, unmistakable Bible indices that we use
[9:48] Speaker 3: to test and check and verify for growth. One of it,
[9:53] Speaker 3: I said, is the depth of your intimacy and devotion.
[9:56] Speaker 3: Number two is your.
[9:58] Speaker 2: Character, the out-walking. Of the fruit of the spirit. Number three.
[10:02] Speaker 3: Your level of illumination. And spiritual understanding. You cannot grow.
[10:08] Speaker 3: Maturity is knowledge dependent. So it's impossible to say you
[10:12] Speaker 3: are growing spiritually. Bankrupt or void. Of accurate spiritual understanding.
[10:18] Speaker 2: Number four. would be your results.
[10:21] Speaker 3: The testimonials that come attesting to the fact that you
[10:25] Speaker 3: have learned how to profit from the word. You cannot
[10:29] Speaker 3: say you are making progress in the spirit where the
[10:31] Speaker 3: word of God remains barren in your life. Results are
[10:36] Speaker 3: a clear measure for spiritual growth and spiritual progress.
[10:41] Speaker 2: Number five.
[10:43] Speaker 3: Is the outflow of the life, the wisdom and the
[10:48] Speaker 3: power of God through your life to bless others.
[10:51] Speaker 2: Impact. That will be called for short.
[10:54] Speaker 3: The outflow of the life, the wisdom and the power
[10:59] Speaker 3: of God through your life to bless your world. The
[11:04] Speaker 3: faith practice is a transformative journey. And the transformation starts
[11:09] Speaker 3: from within you. Then around you. then to your world.
[11:14] Speaker 3: The entire scope of the faith practice is about transformation.
[11:18] Speaker 3: It does not leave you or anything around you the
[11:21] Speaker 3: way it met it. So when you receive the life
[11:24] Speaker 3: of God, there is an inner walk of the spirit
[11:26] Speaker 3: that begins from within you and then around you. And
[11:30] Speaker 3: then you begin to change and influence your world. So
[11:34] Speaker 3: the fifth, that should be parameter to measure progress, spiritual growth,
[11:40] Speaker 3: Is the outflow of the life, the wisdom and the power.
[11:44] Speaker 2: Everybody say the life. Please shout it. Say the life.
[11:48] Speaker 2: Say the wisdom. And the power of God. One more time.
[11:52] Speaker 2: Say the life. The wisdom.
[11:55] Speaker 3: And the power of God. It's important to know. Just
[12:01] Speaker 3: help those under the anointing. It's important for you to
[12:03] Speaker 3: know what flows from you to your world.
[12:08] Speaker 2: It's more than what you learnt in school.
[12:11] Speaker 3: There's what flows from the believer that becomes a blessing
[12:15] Speaker 3: to the world. Number one is the life of God.
[12:18] Speaker 3: Number two is the wisdom of God. Number three is
[12:22] Speaker 3: the power of God. The Bible talks about the first
[12:26] Speaker 3: Adam being a living soul and the second Adam being
[12:30] Speaker 3: a life-giving spirit. Say I'm a life-giving spirit. Say I
[12:35] Speaker 3: carry and I dispense Come on, this is a praying church. Say,
[12:40] Speaker 3: I carry and I dispense the wisdom of God.
[12:47] Speaker 2: Do you believe that?
[12:47] Speaker 3: I hope you know the way we tame principalities and
[12:53] Speaker 3: powers and the way we reveal the excellency.
[12:56] Speaker 2: Of the kingdom is through the manifestation of wisdom. Ephesians
[13:04] Speaker 2: chapter 3 and.
[13:04] Speaker 3: Verse 10 says to the intent that now Unto principalities
[13:09] Speaker 3: and powers might be made known in heavenly places by
[13:14] Speaker 3: the church. The manifold wisdom of God.
[13:18] Speaker 2: The manifold wisdom of God. Hallelujah. So when you are
[13:23] Speaker 2: making progress in the spirit.
[13:25] Speaker 3: It's important that you would have learned how the life
[13:29] Speaker 3: of God flows through you. How the wisdom of God
[13:32] Speaker 3: is dispensed through you. And the power of God flowing
[13:35] Speaker 3: through you to bless your world. May that be your testimony.
[13:40] Speaker 3: And then I would give for, not necessarily.
[13:43] Speaker 2: The last, but the last for now.
[13:45] Speaker 3: The sixth index that measures spiritual growth is the level
[13:52] Speaker 3: of investedness.
[13:54] Speaker 2: In fulfilling your assignment and God's agenda.
[13:58] Speaker 3: You cannot say you are matured when everything around your
[14:02] Speaker 3: Christian experience is about you. The level of your investedness
[14:07] Speaker 3: in fulfilling your assignment and then fulfilling God's agenda. for
[14:14] Speaker 3: the nations i thought to start with that because most
[14:17] Speaker 3: believers say i am growing and they mean well but
[14:21] Speaker 3: they cannot defend their sense of growth using biblical parameters
[14:26] Speaker 3: so if someone were to challenge you and say what
[14:28] Speaker 3: makes you believe you are a matured christian we may
[14:32] Speaker 3: use other inferior parameters like church attendance they are not
[14:36] Speaker 3: necessarily wrong But those are not superior parameters.
[14:40] Speaker 2: You have to defend your growth using these indices.
[14:43] Speaker 3: Number one, the depth of your intimacy with God.
[14:46] Speaker 2: Let me recap it very quickly.
[14:48] Speaker 3: That you are so invested in God. We'll still talk
[14:52] Speaker 3: about that. I'm just laying a foundation. And then number
[14:56] Speaker 3: two is character. If you have to tell people you
[15:00] Speaker 3: are a man of character, something is wrong.
[15:04] Speaker 2: Hallelujah.
[15:05] Speaker 3: Character was designed to speak. It was designed to be
[15:09] Speaker 3: loud enough. The out walkings of the foot of the spirit.
[15:13] Speaker 2: Are we together?
[15:14] Speaker 3: I'm saying this so that already let that be a
[15:17] Speaker 3: checklist for you. Remember this is a renewal program. So
[15:20] Speaker 3: you look at your life against this list. The idea
[15:23] Speaker 3: is not just to write it or to recite it.
[15:26] Speaker 3: But to look at your life in light of all
[15:28] Speaker 3: of that. Is the character of the spirit at work
[15:33] Speaker 3: in me? Or when people see me in spite of
[15:36] Speaker 3: my praying in tongues, they say, you look like an
[15:39] Speaker 3: angry person.
[15:39] Speaker 2: I say, it's true. How do you know? Remember, the
[15:43] Speaker 2: kingdom is a culture.
[15:45] Speaker 3: And when the Holy Spirit comes to dwell in you,
[15:48] Speaker 3: he regene, the word regeneration, is like a cutting away
[15:54] Speaker 3: of the old gene.
[15:55] Speaker 2: And a regime, a reformation.
[15:58] Speaker 3: It doesn't matter whether you come from a background that
[16:01] Speaker 3: is known to have certain negative traits. You see, this
[16:04] Speaker 3: is where the power, the dominion power of the spirit,
[16:07] Speaker 3: it prevails upon your person. Cutting away the attributes that
[16:12] Speaker 3: are consistent with the old man.
[16:14] Speaker 2: Are we together now? Yes.
[16:16] Speaker 3: And don't feel discouraged if that contention is still there.
[16:20] Speaker 3: The Bible says to reckon yourself dead to sin. The
[16:23] Speaker 3: word reckon is the Greek word logizomai. It means to
[16:26] Speaker 3: walk in consciousness of.
[16:29] Speaker 2: You see that now?
[16:30] Speaker 3: So you carry the consciousness that I'm a child of God. Therefore,
[16:34] Speaker 3: the fruit of the recreated spirit must be visible in
[16:38] Speaker 3: and through my life.
[16:39] Speaker 2: Do you believe that? And then number three is your
[16:43] Speaker 2: spiritual understanding.
[16:46] Speaker 3: Illumination in this kingdom the currency for dominion is light
[16:52] Speaker 3: you cannot walk in dominion when you do not have
[16:56] Speaker 3: light in.
[16:57] Speaker 2: Fact what makes us a chosen generation.
[17:00] Speaker 3: A peculiar people Is that we have been called out
[17:03] Speaker 3: from darkness into his marvelous light. The Bible talks about
[17:08] Speaker 3: the inheritance of the saints in light. Not in darkness.
[17:13] Speaker 3: John 1 verse 5. The light shined in the darkness
[17:17] Speaker 3: and the darkness comprehended it not.
[17:19] Speaker 2: Are we learning already? Very important.
[17:22] Speaker 3: That means, let me explain to you what I mean
[17:26] Speaker 3: by light. Light there talks about the exact body of truth.
[17:32] Speaker 3: That empowers the believer to manifest victory. Light here is
[17:37] Speaker 3: an aggregate of every relevant spiritual information needed for your maturity,
[17:44] Speaker 3: for your stature and for your dominion. There is something
[17:50] Speaker 3: you need to know about prayer to win. There is
[17:54] Speaker 3: something you need to know about God to win. There
[17:57] Speaker 3: is something you need to know about Satan to win.
[18:01] Speaker 3: There is something you need to know about faith to win.
[18:04] Speaker 3: There is something you need to know about the Holy
[18:07] Speaker 3: Ghost to win. There is something you need to know
[18:09] Speaker 3: about the Word of God to win. There is something
[18:12] Speaker 3: you need to know about the world to win. You
[18:15] Speaker 3: see that now? That body of knowledge together aggregated is
[18:20] Speaker 3: what we call light. And this is the blessedness of
[18:24] Speaker 3: submitting yourself under a teaching priest. Because line upon line,
[18:29] Speaker 3: topic after topic, series after series, all that keeps happening
[18:34] Speaker 3: to you like a student who got admission. How many
[18:37] Speaker 3: of you know that an admission letter does not qualify
[18:39] Speaker 3: you to practice?
[18:41] Speaker 2: It only means that you are ready to learn.
[18:44] Speaker 3: So there are many believers carrying their admission letter, your
[18:47] Speaker 3: salvation letter.
[18:48] Speaker 2: But it's not able to do anything much.
[18:50] Speaker 3: Let me go ahead of myself to tell you, your
[18:53] Speaker 3: real relevance and profit to the kingdom is not in
[18:58] Speaker 3: your being saved. It's in your becoming mature. Your real
[19:03] Speaker 3: profit to the kingdom is not your salvation. Your salvation
[19:07] Speaker 3: benefits you. But when you grow, you transit from an
[19:11] Speaker 3: infant to a witness.
[19:13] Speaker 2: At that point, you become a plus to the program
[19:17] Speaker 2: of God.
[19:18] Speaker 3: The Bible says as little born babes, it says to
[19:21] Speaker 3: desire the sincere milk of the word that we might grow.
[19:25] Speaker 3: So there are many believers who love the Lord, they
[19:27] Speaker 3: are yielded, but they are bankrupt of light. When you
[19:31] Speaker 3: talk to them, they cannot defend the kingdom with intelligence.
[19:35] Speaker 3: They have gaps, little about prayer, little about fasting.
[19:40] Speaker 2: Why do I fast? They just said I should fast.
[19:42] Speaker 2: You see that now.
[19:43] Speaker 3: So there needs to be an upgrade. Is somebody learning?
[19:46] Speaker 3: The Bible says the people that sat in darkness, they
[19:49] Speaker 3: have seen a great light it takes maturity unto us
[19:56] Speaker 3: a child is born unto us a son is given
[19:59] Speaker 3: the government the symbol of authority is upon the shoulder
[20:03] Speaker 3: of the son.
[20:06] Speaker 2: The word son there is not gender.
[20:08] Speaker 3: It means one who through knowledge and alignment has attained
[20:12] Speaker 3: the same status with his father. So when Jesus called
[20:15] Speaker 3: himself the son of God, they say you say you
[20:17] Speaker 3: are God.
[20:19] Speaker 2: Are we together now? Praise God.
[20:23] Speaker 3: And then of course, results. The value of light is
[20:26] Speaker 3: that it drives away darkness. If your light does not
[20:29] Speaker 3: drive away darkness, it is not light indeed. Because the
[20:32] Speaker 3: Bible says, that was the true light. Meaning there are
[20:35] Speaker 3: false lights. False lights mean bodies of information that we hold.
[20:40] Speaker 3: Sometimes we brag with, but it does not sustain the
[20:43] Speaker 3: power to bring victory. Now, with all due respect, the
[20:47] Speaker 3: body of Christ is full of many, many spiritual information.
[20:51] Speaker 3: about God, about life, about victory. But when many of
[20:56] Speaker 3: them are tested, for an example, there are many information
[20:59] Speaker 3: we have, even as pastors, about church growth, about increase.
[21:03] Speaker 2: But when you put it to the test, see that now.
[21:07] Speaker 2: There are many things.
[21:08] Speaker 3: The world is a hub of information. We sell all
[21:13] Speaker 3: kinds of information. Even in our personal lives, someone will say,
[21:17] Speaker 3: I found a key that will help you achieve this
[21:20] Speaker 3: and that. Maybe have your hair longer and then you
[21:23] Speaker 3: test it and it doesn't work. And yet the person
[21:27] Speaker 3: did his or her best. And yet you find one
[21:29] Speaker 3: that works miraculously. It's called superior light. I'm praying for
[21:34] Speaker 3: you in the name of Jesus that in the course
[21:36] Speaker 3: of this conference, you will encounter superior light. Light that
[21:42] Speaker 3: delivers undeniable and consistent results.
[21:46] Speaker 2: In the name of Jesus Christ.
[21:49] Speaker 3: Listen to me. Results are not a gift. Results are
[21:54] Speaker 3: not a gift. No.
[21:55] Speaker 2: There's no gift of results. Result is a reaction. It's
[21:59] Speaker 2: a consequence of.
[22:01] Speaker 3: Engaging the mistress of the kingdom consistently, methodically. There are
[22:07] Speaker 3: three levels of the investment of God's power. Let me
[22:10] Speaker 3: walk with my time. You won't believe I've not even
[22:13] Speaker 3: touched what I wanted to. I'm just giving us the indices.
[22:16] Speaker 3: Don't worry, don't worry.
[22:18] Speaker 2: I will keep to time. I have a timer before me.
[22:20] Speaker 2: Praise God. I will keep to time.
[22:22] Speaker 1: Hallelujah.
[22:26] Speaker 2: Praise God. The highest dimension of God's power is is
[22:35] Speaker 2: released through relationship. It's not released through obedience. It's released
[22:44] Speaker 2: through intimacy. Please listen.
[22:47] Speaker 3: The highest dimension of God's power does not come by
[22:51] Speaker 3: obeying rituals. It comes by the depth of your devotion
[22:57] Speaker 3: and your knowledge of God. But the second dimension of
[23:01] Speaker 3: God's power comes through understanding and obedience.
[23:05] Speaker 2: Or understanding and engaging of kingdom principles.
[23:10] Speaker 3: That dimension of God's power does not depend on relationship.
[23:14] Speaker 2: It is enhanced by relationship. But it does not depend
[23:18] Speaker 2: on relationship.
[23:20] Speaker 3: And both believers and unbelievers can access dimensions of that power.
[23:25] Speaker 2: The power that is invested in principles. A man can
[23:28] Speaker 2: hate God and sow and.
[23:31] Speaker 3: Yet he will reap. That's the power of God delivering results.
[23:34] Speaker 3: Are we together now? A man can hate God and
[23:38] Speaker 3: practice leadership principles and build an organization.
[23:42] Speaker 2: That's it.
[23:42] Speaker 3: Anything that works is sponsored by the power of God.
[23:46] Speaker 3: But that the power of God is arranged in different dimensions.
[23:49] Speaker 3: There is a dimension of his power that requires that
[23:52] Speaker 3: you must know.
[23:53] Speaker 2: Him and have a functional relationship.
[23:57] Speaker 3: But there's a dimension of his power that is not
[23:59] Speaker 3: relationship dependent. It is dependent on understanding and compliance or obedience.
[24:06] Speaker 3: There's the third dimension of his power that is a
[24:10] Speaker 3: product of covenant association. So you can come into partnership
[24:17] Speaker 3: with one who has done business with God. And it
[24:20] Speaker 3: doesn't matter whether you are an unbeliever or not. Because
[24:23] Speaker 3: you are under the influence of such a person. You
[24:26] Speaker 3: can enjoy certain privileges.
[24:29] Speaker 2: Hallelujah.
[24:30] Speaker 3: So when you say you access spiritual power, we have
[24:33] Speaker 3: to verify which dimension. Because if you were in Israel,
[24:38] Speaker 3: in Egypt, once there was blood on your lintel, even
[24:42] Speaker 3: if you were an ambroba, you would not die that night.
[24:44] Speaker 3: It had nothing to do with your understanding. It was
[24:47] Speaker 3: the blood that bailed you out.
[24:50] Speaker 2: Are we together?
[24:52] Speaker 3: But if you were Cain and Abel, it is your
[24:55] Speaker 3: knowledge of the personal sacrifice that will bail you out.
[25:00] Speaker 3: Both of you would have lambs and you have all
[25:02] Speaker 3: of that. But how you engage it would determine whether
[25:05] Speaker 3: you will receive or you will not receive. But if
[25:08] Speaker 3: you were Elijah, it will not be what you set up.
[25:11] Speaker 3: It will be the God that you know. Because the
[25:14] Speaker 3: same lamb, the prophets of Baal also had it.
[25:17] Speaker 2: Are you getting the point now?
[25:20] Speaker 3: I promise I will go straight to our word. I
[25:23] Speaker 3: promise we get straight to our word. As a biology,
[25:26] Speaker 3: you see what training your people has cost.
[25:29] Speaker 2: Praise God. Hallelujah. Amen. So, but have you learned something already?
[25:42] Speaker 3: So the next time you are helping someone to grow
[25:45] Speaker 3: and the person says, I think I'm a matured believer.
[25:47] Speaker 3: You tell the person, okay, so let's talk. Give me
[25:50] Speaker 3: a few indices. If he says, I go to church,
[25:53] Speaker 3: you say, that's wonderful. It's wonderful, commendable. But that's not
[25:56] Speaker 3: the noblest of the indices. Your walk with God character.
[26:01] Speaker 2: You see that? Yes.
[26:03] Speaker 3: Spiritual intelligence that's been gained. Then the results that are
[26:08] Speaker 3: produced through your life.
[26:09] Speaker 2: Then the outworking. Listen, let me tell you this.
[26:12] Speaker 3: Do you know if you stay with the word of
[26:14] Speaker 3: God and you stay with the Spirit of God. There
[26:20] Speaker 3: is a dimension of wisdom you access and release or.
[26:26] Speaker 2: Deliver by being a believer.
[26:28] Speaker 3: It doesn't matter whether you have the privilege of secular
[26:32] Speaker 3: exposure or not. It doesn't matter whether you have the
[26:35] Speaker 3: privilege of academic, you know, academic, formal academic knowledge or not.
[26:40] Speaker 3: There is a dimension of wisdom called the wisdom.
[26:43] Speaker 2: Of the just. Luke 1, 17.
[26:46] Speaker 3: When you interact with spiritual things, it primes, it's like
[26:50] Speaker 3: it creates a neural pathway. Now, I'm talking biologically. There
[26:55] Speaker 3: is a way that your speaking changes. A man who
[26:59] Speaker 3: has stayed with God, even if that man never had
[27:01] Speaker 3: the privilege of going to school, when you hear such
[27:04] Speaker 3: a man, remember what they said about the apostles. They
[27:08] Speaker 3: were on landed mind, but they said, ah, no, no, no, no.
[27:10] Speaker 3: This level of intelligence, they had been with Jesus. Being
[27:14] Speaker 3: with Jesus has an implication. It affects how you speak.
[27:20] Speaker 3: It affects how you think. It affects how you view life.
[27:25] Speaker 3: Is somebody learning now? So that's why the church should
[27:30] Speaker 3: not produce dull people. And I don't say that in
[27:33] Speaker 3: a derogatory way. If you are under the influence of
[27:36] Speaker 3: the word, if you are learning the ways of the kingdom,
[27:40] Speaker 3: there is a construct, there is a way your understanding
[27:44] Speaker 3: begins to be built.
[27:47] Speaker 2: Is somebody learning now?
[27:48] Speaker 3: The life, the wisdom, and the power of God. And
[27:52] Speaker 3: then anyone who is truly matured, maturity, is also connected
[27:57] Speaker 3: to vision. You cannot be a mature believer and everything
[28:01] Speaker 3: is about your life. There's nothing kingdom come. There's nothing
[28:05] Speaker 3: promoting God's agenda. Well, let me quickly get to my talk.
[28:09] Speaker 3: I have a few minutes. My emphasis tonight is to
[28:18] Speaker 3: help show you five areas of focus.
[28:23] Speaker 2: If you want to build.
[28:24] Speaker 3: An efficient, an impactful christian life i call it rooted
[28:30] Speaker 3: and built in addition to all that you have learned
[28:33] Speaker 3: as far as devotion and consecration and all of that
[28:37] Speaker 3: there are five areas now there are many areas in
[28:40] Speaker 3: a believer's life that he or she should pay attention
[28:44] Speaker 3: to for wholesome growth however there are five major areas
[28:50] Speaker 3: and if you fail to allow the holy ghost and
[28:53] Speaker 3: the word build you in this area you will not
[28:56] Speaker 3: be efficient as far as your christian life is concerned
[29:01] Speaker 3: and you will not be impactful praise god so very
[29:04] Speaker 3: quickly let me run the list five areas number one
[29:08] Speaker 3: the first area of focus if you want to build
[29:12] Speaker 3: a robust christian life It's your intimacy with God. You
[29:17] Speaker 3: must cultivate a deep and functional fellowship with God. A
[29:23] Speaker 3: deep and functional fellowship with God. Intimacy with God. This
[29:29] Speaker 3: is the first area. Non-negotiable. The Bible says the people
[29:33] Speaker 3: that do know their God. Daniel 11 and verse 32.
[29:37] Speaker 2: They shall be strong. Capacity strong.
[29:40] Speaker 3: And they shall do exploits john 17 3 this is
[29:45] Speaker 3: life everlasting that they may know thee the only true
[29:48] Speaker 3: god and jesus whom thou has sent the bible says
[29:52] Speaker 3: the fear of the lord is the beginning of wisdom
[29:55] Speaker 3: it says the knowledge of the holy that is understanding
[30:00] Speaker 3: hallelujah a functional knowledge with god how many of you
[30:04] Speaker 3: know that as mighty majestic and sometimes mystical as god
[30:10] Speaker 3: is he wants to be known god wants to be
[30:13] Speaker 3: known all through scripture he's made ways available to reveal
[30:18] Speaker 3: himself paul.
[30:19] Speaker 2: Said that i may know him he can be.
[30:21] Speaker 3: Known Job said, I have heard of thee with the
[30:24] Speaker 3: hearing of the ear, but now my eyes see at thee.
[30:28] Speaker 3: God can be known. You will never know God until
[30:30] Speaker 3: you believe he wants to be known. He can be known.
[30:33] Speaker 3: Now we cannot know all of him. That's what makes
[30:36] Speaker 3: him God. But he has fragmented himself into dimensions. That
[30:40] Speaker 3: can allow us to know him sufficient to gain dominion
[30:44] Speaker 3: upon the earth.
[30:45] Speaker 2: And let me tell you this.
[30:46] Speaker 3: Intimacy with God is the resultant effect of working in
[30:51] Speaker 3: keeping with certain practices that I call the ordinances of intimacy.
[30:56] Speaker 3: And I'll list three or four of them for you
[30:57] Speaker 3: very quickly. You can never truly know God functionally. Not theoretically.
[31:04] Speaker 2: Functionally. Except and unless.
[31:07] Speaker 3: You walk in keeping with these four, these tokens, these
[31:11] Speaker 3: ordinances of intimacy.
[31:13] Speaker 2: Number one is prayer. A life of consistent prayer.
[31:18] Speaker 3: This is a praying church. You have learned several dimensions
[31:22] Speaker 3: of prayer. But I'll tell you this. You can be
[31:25] Speaker 3: an effective person in terms of prayer, but your prayer
[31:30] Speaker 3: can be largely need-driven. Need-driven prayer does not produce intimacy.
[31:38] Speaker 3: A major part of your life, your prayer life should
[31:42] Speaker 3: be invested in building intimacy and for edification.
[31:46] Speaker 2: In fact, the original assignment of prayer is not to
[31:51] Speaker 2: meet needs.
[31:52] Speaker 3: It's to become a doorway, a gateway to encounters. Else,
[31:59] Speaker 3: why would you need to pray when you now have
[32:00] Speaker 3: all the results? Why did Jesus pray as the word?
[32:06] Speaker 3: If prayer were all about needs, the word should not pray.
[32:09] Speaker 3: It would be useless because all things were made by
[32:12] Speaker 3: the word. So why did he pray?
[32:15] Speaker 2: Hallelujah. Are we learning now? Prayer is important. Investing time
[32:22] Speaker 2: in fellowship.
[32:24] Speaker 3: Knowing the Lord. Number two, the second ordinance. Now I'm
[32:27] Speaker 3: still on point one. Helping you, showing you the ordinances
[32:30] Speaker 3: of intimacy with God.
[32:32] Speaker 2: Number two is prayer. A rich word study life.
[32:37] Speaker 3: Many believers are not disciplined enough to be students of scripture.
[32:42] Speaker 3: A rich word study life. Number three, worship. And there
[32:47] Speaker 3: are two dimensions to worship. There is ministering unto God.
[32:51] Speaker 3: And then there is receiving from God in worship. The
[32:56] Speaker 3: first part is where you must focus on. How do
[32:59] Speaker 3: you know you are ministering unto God? You don't ask
[33:01] Speaker 3: for anything. You worship him declaring his holiness.
[33:06] Speaker 2: Are we together? Ministering unto God.
[33:14] Speaker 3: Most believers want intimacy with God but they are unwilling
[33:18] Speaker 3: to pay the price. Prayer The study of the word
[33:22] Speaker 3: worship and then corporate fellowship.
[33:25] Speaker 2: That's the fourth element of intimacy.
[33:27] Speaker 3: If you violate these four ordinances, you will not know
[33:31] Speaker 3: God functionally.
[33:33] Speaker 2: It's a pattern he created.
[33:35] Speaker 3: So if you find out that your knowledge of God
[33:37] Speaker 3: is faulty or there's a gap in your knowledge, you
[33:40] Speaker 3: cannot truly say, I know him.
[33:43] Speaker 2: This is the first port of call.
[33:45] Speaker 3: Return back to a place of prayer and not just
[33:48] Speaker 3: prayer to receive things, to know him. to fellowship it
[33:52] Speaker 3: says the grace of our lord jesus christ the love
[33:55] Speaker 3: of god and the fellowship of the spirit and then
[33:58] Speaker 3: number two stay with the word ye search the scripture
[34:01] Speaker 3: for in them you think you would find life he
[34:04] Speaker 3: said these are they that testify of me we learn
[34:09] Speaker 3: god by studying his word And then number three, in
[34:12] Speaker 3: the place of worship, the Holy Ghost quickens the knowledge
[34:16] Speaker 3: of God within your spirit. There is a dimension of
[34:19] Speaker 3: knowledge that surpasses all understanding. It does not come through
[34:23] Speaker 3: the gate of intellect. This one is spirit communication. God
[34:26] Speaker 3: will deposit a reality about himself. You just know that
[34:30] Speaker 3: you know him in a way that science cannot explain.
[34:35] Speaker 3: So when it has to do with imparting knowledge, it
[34:38] Speaker 3: does not always follow the gate of intellect. There is
[34:42] Speaker 3: a dimension of the knowledge of God that bypasses the
[34:45] Speaker 3: realm of understanding. It is quickened in your spirit. And
[34:49] Speaker 3: you just know. The Bible says the spirit beared witness
[34:53] Speaker 3: with our spirit.
[34:54] Speaker 2: How do you explain that scientifically? But you know it
[34:58] Speaker 2: is there. Are we learning?
[34:59] Speaker 3: Very quickly, the second area. The second area that we
[35:05] Speaker 3: need to focus on. I'm working with my time. Oh,
[35:08] Speaker 3: I did not tell you the benefit of intimacy with God.
[35:11] Speaker 3: You may want to add. Among the many benefits of
[35:14] Speaker 3: pressing for intimacy with God is stability and confidence. When
[35:22] Speaker 3: you truly know God, it doesn't bring pride, but it
[35:25] Speaker 3: brings confidence. I think it's 2 Timothy 1.12. Thereabout, Paul
[35:28] Speaker 3: was talking to his son in the gospel. I think
[35:30] Speaker 3: that should be 2 Timothy 1.12. But I know whom
[35:38] Speaker 3: I have believed.
[35:39] Speaker 2: That's right.
[35:40] Speaker 3: And I am persuaded. He said I know whom I
[35:43] Speaker 3: have believed. It's important to know who sent you. Because
[35:47] Speaker 3: life will ask you who sent you. Life will not
[35:50] Speaker 3: ask you your assignment. It will first say who sent you.
[35:53] Speaker 3: Who sent you to open these gates over your family.
[35:57] Speaker 3: Who sent you to lead the nation to Jesus.
[36:00] Speaker 2: You see that now.
[36:02] Speaker 3: Moses understood this and he said, don't send me to
[36:05] Speaker 3: Egypt until I know who sent me.
[36:06] Speaker 2: Who are you?
[36:08] Speaker 3: Pharaoh will ask me, who sent me? And there are
[36:11] Speaker 3: many believers who are running. And when life asks them,
[36:15] Speaker 3: who sent them? They will say, well, I know my
[36:17] Speaker 3: pastor talked about that God.
[36:19] Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no. He has to become your God.
[36:21] Speaker 2: Is somebody learning? Confidence. Confidence. Number two. The second area
[36:32] Speaker 2: you must focus on.
[36:35] Speaker 3: As becoming a person of relevance and impact in the
[36:39] Speaker 3: kingdom is concerned. Is your growth and transformation. So number one,
[36:44] Speaker 3: intimacy with God. That's the first area you must press.
[36:48] Speaker 3: Press to know God. Pay the price. Get materials. Number two,
[36:53] Speaker 3: your growth and transformation. I made a statement earlier on
[36:57] Speaker 3: that your real value or profits to the kingdom. It's
[37:01] Speaker 3: not in your being saved, but it's in your becoming matured.
[37:05] Speaker 3: When you transit from an infant to a witness, then
[37:09] Speaker 3: your profit to the kingdom now becomes visible. So there
[37:13] Speaker 3: are many believers who are saved, but with respect to
[37:16] Speaker 3: God's program, they are like the man with one talent
[37:21] Speaker 3: who has not added anything to it. God loves them,
[37:27] Speaker 3: but he cannot tell them well done, good and faithful servant.
[37:31] Speaker 3: Because they are not doing anything for the kingdom. Kingdom
[37:34] Speaker 3: exploit is growth dependent. You see, you must contend to
[37:39] Speaker 3: transit from an infant to attain unto maturity. And there
[37:43] Speaker 3: are at least two keys. Number one is hunger and passion.
[37:48] Speaker 3: You cannot grow until you are hungry. Babies teach us that.
[37:52] Speaker 3: As soon as they come out, they demonstrate their willingness.
[37:56] Speaker 2: To grow by crying for food immediately. Not later. Not
[38:01] Speaker 2: two weeks later. Immediately. Provided it's a healthy child, the
[38:06] Speaker 2: child begins to cry. As a baby.
[38:09] Speaker 3: And sometimes they can just stay there breastfeeding for forever.
[38:13] Speaker 2: Growth. Hunger is proof of health.
[38:17] Speaker 3: Once you get sick, the first thing that, or at
[38:21] Speaker 3: least one of the first things that are.
[38:23] Speaker 2: Affected is your appetite.
[38:25] Speaker 3: So when your hunger for the things of God goes down,
[38:28] Speaker 3: it's a sign that something is wrong with your spiritual life.
[38:34] Speaker 2: Are we learning?
[38:35] Speaker 3: Say, I receive grace to grow. Say, I receive grace
[38:41] Speaker 3: to contend for transformation. Let me see if I can just...
[38:47] Speaker 3: ask this out for you in one minute so there
[38:50] Speaker 3: there are three steps to becoming an efficient believer in
[38:54] Speaker 3: the kingdom three steps the first step is the transition
[38:59] Speaker 3: from being an unbeliever to being a believer that's the
[39:03] Speaker 3: first step that's the first junction and the gateway that
[39:08] Speaker 3: allows that transition is salvation So everyone is an unbeliever
[39:13] Speaker 3: by default. In sin, in iniquity, did my mother conceive me.
[39:16] Speaker 2: Are we together?
[39:18] Speaker 3: So once you hear the gospel and you place your
[39:21] Speaker 3: faith in Jesus Christ, that transition happens. When you come
[39:26] Speaker 3: into the kingdom, you are a believer, but the Bible
[39:29] Speaker 3: calls you unbeliever.
[39:30] Speaker 2: An infant or a babe. Are we together?
[39:33] Speaker 3: That means truly you are saved. The life of God
[39:36] Speaker 3: is at work in you. But the value of that
[39:38] Speaker 3: life cannot benefit you or others. Because it is growth dependent. Now,
[39:44] Speaker 3: you are in the kingdom but you don't stop there.
[39:46] Speaker 3: Please listen everybody. As soon as you get into the kingdom,
[39:50] Speaker 3: you may have heard me teach. There are three ministries
[39:53] Speaker 3: that you must be exposed to for your growth. Number
[39:57] Speaker 3: one is the ministry of the Holy Spirit. Number two
[40:01] Speaker 3: is the ministry of prayer and the word. Not prayer
[40:05] Speaker 3: or the word. Prayer and the word together. You don't select.
[40:10] Speaker 3: They were designed to go together. Prayer and the word.
[40:13] Speaker 3: Then number three, the ministry of spiritual leadership or a
[40:17] Speaker 3: teaching priest. Now let me tell you, anyone who defaults
[40:21] Speaker 3: on this pattern will not become a mighty man. Once
[40:26] Speaker 3: people get saved, They must be exposed to the ministry
[40:29] Speaker 3: of the Holy Spirit.
[40:31] Speaker 2: The ministry of prayer and the word. And then the.
[40:35] Speaker 3: Ministry of a spiritual voice, a spiritual leader or a
[40:40] Speaker 3: teaching priest. Now, these three ministries work in partnership and
[40:45] Speaker 3: begin to transit that believer. Line upon line. Service after service.
[40:50] Speaker 3: Conference after conference. Prayer meeting after prayer meeting. You see
[40:54] Speaker 3: that now. The name given to that journey is transformation.
[40:58] Speaker 3: And transformation is a three-step journey. It starts with enlightenment,
[41:04] Speaker 3: then renewal, then conformity.
[41:09] Speaker 2: Are we learning now?
[41:11] Speaker 3: When you become transformed, then the next junction becomes empowerment.
[41:16] Speaker 3: Because transformation leaves you knowledgeable, but you may not be
[41:20] Speaker 3: able to defend your results. So Jesus told them, I
[41:24] Speaker 3: have taught you but tarry until you be endued with power.
[41:28] Speaker 3: If not, you will be justice. You will be talking
[41:30] Speaker 3: a lot of things you don't have the grace to defend.
[41:33] Speaker 2: Are we learning now?
[41:34] Speaker 3: Now, after empowerment, you don't stop there. The next junction
[41:39] Speaker 3: after empowerment is called purpose. That's what gives value to
[41:43] Speaker 3: the entire journey. You have not chosen me, but I
[41:47] Speaker 3: have chosen you and ordained you, John.
[41:50] Speaker 2: 15, 16, that you should go and bear fruit.
[41:55] Speaker 3: So it is salvation, transformation, empowerment, purpose.
[42:01] Speaker 2: It doesn't stop at empowerment.
[42:03] Speaker 3: If you empower people and don't help them understand the
[42:06] Speaker 3: program of God, for an example, in a church like this,
[42:10] Speaker 3: you have a lot of headache because you have many
[42:12] Speaker 3: anointed people who want to go everywhere they want to go.
[42:15] Speaker 3: And that will give you a lot of headache. You see,
[42:18] Speaker 3: purpose is what gives power relevance. If you empower people
[42:24] Speaker 3: without a definition of what that power should serve, whether financial,
[42:28] Speaker 3: whether whatever it is, you're going to end up destroying them.
[42:35] Speaker 2: Are we together? Praise God. So say growth. Say transformation. Growth.
[42:42] Speaker 2: Say transformation. Number three.
[42:45] Speaker 3: The third area that I want you to focus on.
[42:50] Speaker 3: If you want to be robust. You want to be
[42:53] Speaker 3: mighty in the spirit. And you want your life to
[42:57] Speaker 3: justify the investment that God has placed upon it.
[43:00] Speaker 2: The third area that you must focus on. Are you ready?
[43:04] Speaker 2: manifesting victory, triumph, progress, and dominion.
[43:10] Speaker 3: Write that down and I explain very quickly. Manifesting victory, triumph, progress.
[43:18] Speaker 2: And dominion.
[43:19] Speaker 3: This is the third area you must focus on. So
[43:22] Speaker 3: number one has to do with building intimacy with God.
[43:25] Speaker 3: Number two has to do with growth and transformation. That
[43:29] Speaker 3: change within. But number three, you have to be trained
[43:33] Speaker 3: to know how to use the resources of heaven to
[43:36] Speaker 3: produce a life of victory and dominion. Everybody please listen.
[43:40] Speaker 3: You can be a transformed believer. You can be a
[43:43] Speaker 3: matured believer. But if you do not know how to
[43:46] Speaker 3: use the word to produce profit, you will be frustrated.
[43:51] Speaker 3: There are many believers who have not been trained to
[43:54] Speaker 3: use the resources of the kingdom. Learning how to win
[44:00] Speaker 3: through the word. Learning how to use the resources of
[44:04] Speaker 3: the kingdom to produce victory and dominion. 2 Corinthians 2.14 says,
[44:09] Speaker 3: Now thanks be to God who causes us always.
[44:13] Speaker 2: Somebody say always. Not once in a while.
[44:16] Speaker 3: Say always.
[44:16] Speaker 2: Always.
[44:19] Speaker 3: To triumph in Christ. And makes manifest the several. Of
[44:23] Speaker 3: his knowledge by us in every place. Someone shout results.
[44:28] Speaker 3: Shout victory. Shout triumph. Seems only those in front are shouting.
[44:33] Speaker 2: Let's try it again. Shout results. Say victory. Say dominion.
[44:40] Speaker 2: Now let me tell you this. I hope you know.
[44:43] Speaker 2: That learning how to win.
[44:45] Speaker 1: Is.
[44:46] Speaker 3: Is. A skill in the spirit. The Bible says you
[44:51] Speaker 3: teached my hands to war. Is that in your Bible?
[44:54] Speaker 3: And my fingers. You are taught. You are taught. You
[44:58] Speaker 3: have to know how to win. You must know how
[45:01] Speaker 3: to use prayer for victory. The word for victory. You
[45:05] Speaker 3: must know how to deploy the intelligence of the Holy
[45:07] Speaker 3: Ghost to win.
[45:08] Speaker 2: You must know how. Are we together now? Amen.
[45:11] Speaker 3: This is the third level many believers do not know
[45:15] Speaker 3: how to win in life they are born again they
[45:18] Speaker 3: are anointed they are consecrated but they are perpetual losers
[45:23] Speaker 3: they don't know how to make the world profit for
[45:26] Speaker 3: them the bible says let your light so shine before
[45:33] Speaker 3: men that they may see your good deeds Let me
[45:38] Speaker 3: tell you this.
[45:39] Speaker 2: Do you know why personal.
[45:40] Speaker 3: Victory is important? Because it will lead you to the
[45:43] Speaker 3: fourth one that I want to show you. If you
[45:46] Speaker 3: are not victorious, you will be too distracted to serve
[45:49] Speaker 3: the program of God. Attaining personal victory is an advantage
[45:55] Speaker 3: so that you clear your personal needs, get it out
[45:57] Speaker 3: of the way and focus on a nobler, bigger program.
[46:02] Speaker 3: It will be difficult to hear the mandate for your
[46:05] Speaker 3: life when your rent is still a concern.
[46:08] Speaker 2: Listen to me.
[46:10] Speaker 3: The God who has called us. Did not call us
[46:13] Speaker 3: into a life of servitude and slavery.
[46:15] Speaker 2: Watch this. Watch this. Our focus is to love and
[46:19] Speaker 2: serve him.
[46:20] Speaker 3: But he's not selfish to be unconcerned about our needs.
[46:23] Speaker 2: He knows.
[46:25] Speaker 3: That are excelling is victory dependent. So there is a
[46:29] Speaker 3: provision in his economy. That while that is not your
[46:32] Speaker 3: ultimate pursuit. You must taste and see that the Lord
[46:36] Speaker 3: is good. Not just hear and assume. You must taste
[46:40] Speaker 3: there is an experience to victory. Hallelujah.
[46:46] Speaker 2: Praise the name of the Lord.
[46:49] Speaker 3: Say if you've been evil know how to give good
[46:52] Speaker 3: gifts now this is a dimension the body of christ
[46:56] Speaker 3: while the emphasis watch this the emphasis is not using
[47:01] Speaker 3: god to get things but god is kind enough to
[47:04] Speaker 3: make sure while you serve him you carry things together
[47:08] Speaker 3: God is kind enough to teach you how to pay
[47:11] Speaker 3: the bills of your children. God is kind enough to
[47:15] Speaker 3: teach you how to pay the bills of the church.
[47:17] Speaker 3: God is kind enough. Are we together now? Don't throw
[47:22] Speaker 3: that as you are walking with God. I love him
[47:25] Speaker 3: more than things. But he can teach my hands to wall.
[47:28] Speaker 3: He can teach my fingers to fight. when you see
[47:34] Speaker 3: me winning is by the word when you see your
[47:37] Speaker 3: pastor winning is by the word there is an intelligence
[47:41] Speaker 3: that produces victory you will win any way i'm telling
[47:44] Speaker 3: you there is an intelligence sir listen please sit down
[47:51] Speaker 3: sit down there is an intelligence that brings you wealth
[47:56] Speaker 3: and abundance with integrity there is an intelligence that brings
[48:00] Speaker 3: you favor before men There is an intelligence that brings
[48:05] Speaker 3: longevity to your impact. There is an intelligence that makes
[48:10] Speaker 3: people follow you. There is an intelligence that makes people
[48:16] Speaker 3: like you.
[48:17] Speaker 2: People don't just like you, they are made to like you.
[48:22] Speaker 2: Are we learning now?
[48:24] Speaker 3: There is an intelligence that gives birth to a child
[48:27] Speaker 3: called excellence. Excellence is a product of an intelligence. Order
[48:33] Speaker 3: is a product of an intelligence. You must learn how
[48:39] Speaker 3: to be victorious. Most believers are not trained. They don't
[48:43] Speaker 3: know how to win. They know God wants them to win.
[48:46] Speaker 3: They know they are part of a win.
[48:48] Speaker 2: Oh my goodness.
[48:49] Speaker 3: But they have not been taught. I'm telling you. If
[48:54] Speaker 3: you lend God through their life, you will hate God.
[48:57] Speaker 3: Because the picture that their life gives about God is
[49:01] Speaker 3: not complete. It's a God that you keep serving, serving
[49:05] Speaker 3: and seems to be disinterested about your life and your well-being.
[49:10] Speaker 3: It's a very inaccurate picture of God. Intimacy with God.
[49:17] Speaker 3: Maturity and growth. you must understand the way of victory
[49:22] Speaker 3: this is the way of champions this is what gives
[49:25] Speaker 3: you the consolation that serving God pays.
[49:31] Speaker 2: Is somebody learning here maybe for someone.
[49:33] Speaker 3: You came for this renewal conference this third area is
[49:38] Speaker 3: what you need to begin to press on I know
[49:40] Speaker 3: you love God.
[49:41] Speaker 2: I know you're contending for maturity. But do you know
[49:44] Speaker 2: how to win?
[49:45] Speaker 3: Can you use the word of God like a raw
[49:47] Speaker 3: material and produce undeniable results? Result that is not dependent
[49:53] Speaker 3: on geography. Result that is not dependent on weather conditions.
[49:57] Speaker 2: Come on now.
[50:05] Speaker 3: Do you believe what you're hearing? The Bible says, all
[50:10] Speaker 3: things were made by him. All things, all things, all things,
[50:17] Speaker 3: victory in every area. Believe this about the word of God.
[50:25] Speaker 3: That the word of God sustains the power, the intelligence
[50:29] Speaker 3: and the wisdom that comes from it can pick a
[50:31] Speaker 3: man from a tenant honestly and cause that person to
[50:35] Speaker 3: be a landlord.
[50:36] Speaker 2: Listen, listen. The idea is not just to show forth.
[50:40] Speaker 2: The idea is to give.
[50:41] Speaker 3: You the rest that allows you to focus on other
[50:45] Speaker 3: nobler kingdom activities.
[50:48] Speaker 2: Can I tell you this? For an example, how.
[50:51] Speaker 3: Many of you know that wealth is a defender of integrity?
[50:58] Speaker 3: There is a level of the help of God upon
[51:00] Speaker 3: your life that makes certain temptations dead on arrival. It
[51:05] Speaker 3: is useless to you because you have risen like an
[51:08] Speaker 3: aircraft beyond that realm of temptation.
[51:13] Speaker 2: Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, please hear me. Let
[51:16] Speaker 2: me say that again.
[51:17] Speaker 3: In order of priority, your love for Jesus surpasses things.
[51:22] Speaker 3: But please, do not in a bid to show that
[51:26] Speaker 3: you love the Lord, reject an opportunity to learn his ways.
[51:30] Speaker 3: Because you will pay a very bitter price. Moses said,
[51:36] Speaker 3: show me your glory. He said, show me your ways.
[51:40] Speaker 3: The ways of God lead to life. The ways of
[51:43] Speaker 3: God lead to victory.
[51:44] Speaker 2: Are we together? That's number three. This is my assignment.
[51:50] Speaker 3: To challenge someone. You are a lover of God. But
[51:53] Speaker 3: you don't know how to win by the Spirit. You
[51:56] Speaker 3: don't know how to win by the Word. And you
[51:58] Speaker 3: have to learn it. You have to learn it. Because
[52:01] Speaker 3: the bankruptcy of results in your life keeps misrepresenting the
[52:05] Speaker 3: fatherhood of God. Because remember the Bible says we are
[52:08] Speaker 3: living epistles. People have been reading God through your testimonial.
[52:12] Speaker 3: And you have been misrepresenting God. What kind of a
[52:16] Speaker 3: worker in church.
[52:17] Speaker 2: Serves God. Loves God. But still struggles with rent. It's
[52:22] Speaker 2: okay if you are starting.
[52:23] Speaker 3: Listen.
[52:23] Speaker 2: The Bible says though your beginning be small.
[52:26] Speaker 3: That means the only part of your life that should
[52:28] Speaker 3: be small is your beginning.
[52:31] Speaker 2: Beginning.
[52:31] Speaker 3: Only beginning should be small. I'm telling you. If it
[52:36] Speaker 3: goes beyond beginning and you don't grow. Sit down, sit down,
[52:40] Speaker 3: sit down. Help me keep my time.
[52:42] Speaker 2: Look at this.
[52:44] Speaker 3: How many of you know if you give birth to
[52:46] Speaker 3: a child, after two years, the child cannot talk, the
[52:50] Speaker 3: child cannot walk, what parent rejoices over that child?
[52:54] Speaker 2: No. Do you still feed your child at five?
[52:59] Speaker 3: No. The joy of the parent is to watch victory
[53:03] Speaker 3: in the life of the child. I don't know about you,
[53:12] Speaker 3: but as far as I'm concerned, the victory that's been
[53:16] Speaker 3: purchased in Christ must speak evidently in my life.
[53:20] Speaker 2: In the name of Jesus. Forever, I love him more
[53:25] Speaker 2: than things.
[53:26] Speaker 3: Whether he blesses me or not, it does not affect
[53:29] Speaker 3: my love. But I will not die the death of
[53:31] Speaker 3: a fool because of folly. No, I will not do that. No,
[53:34] Speaker 3: I will not do that. I will not do that.
[53:37] Speaker 2: Listen to me.
[53:39] Speaker 3: If I need a donkey for a triumphant entry, I
[53:43] Speaker 3: will not reject the donkey if he gives me. It
[53:46] Speaker 3: is a tool that is needed. I will know how
[53:48] Speaker 3: to lose that coat because the master had need of it.
[53:52] Speaker 3: Is somebody learning now? Say in the name of Jesus.
[53:56] Speaker 3: I receive grace. To learn the way of winners. Say
[54:00] Speaker 3: in the name of Jesus. I receive grace.
[54:03] Speaker 2: To learn the way of victory. Say in the name
[54:06] Speaker 2: of Jesus. I learn.
[54:09] Speaker 3: How to use the word. To redefine my destiny. Say
[54:14] Speaker 3: in the name of Jesus. In partnership with the Holy Spirit.
[54:18] Speaker 3: I am an overcomer.
[54:20] Speaker 2: I am a winner.
[54:22] Speaker 3: Pray in the spirit in one minute. And then I
[54:24] Speaker 3: give you the other keys. Pray in the spirit in
[54:26] Speaker 3: one minute.
[54:28] Speaker 2: An overcomer. Come on now. A winner by the spirit.
[54:32] Speaker 2: A winner by the spirit.
[54:46] Speaker 3: In jesus name we pray please be seated my time
[54:51] Speaker 3: is up let me borrow a few minutes and just
[54:52] Speaker 3: drum these points look up please listen there are many
[54:58] Speaker 3: things required to know how to manifest victory for an
[55:02] Speaker 3: example you must know in that that in christ all
[55:06] Speaker 3: things are finished that's subtle revelation you are not no
[55:11] Speaker 3: no the believer's business Is to manifest.
[55:16] Speaker 2: To make visible. Not to create. The reality. The victory
[55:19] Speaker 2: is finished. If you don't carry this finished mentality. You
[55:24] Speaker 2: will be a loser. Trying to do what God has
[55:26] Speaker 2: already done. Are we together? Victory finished. Tomorrow finished. Finished
[55:32] Speaker 2: in Christ.
[55:34] Speaker 3: However, however, you must also know the difference between prophetic
[55:39] Speaker 3: realities versus their experiential manifestation. That that which is finished
[55:45] Speaker 3: in Christ does not mean it will manifest by default
[55:48] Speaker 3: in your life. In theology, we call it the law
[55:51] Speaker 3: of conversion. The mystery that makes the world to become flesh.
[55:55] Speaker 3: Healing to become flesh. Prosperity to become flesh. Greatness to
[55:59] Speaker 3: become flesh. It is finished in Christ. But whether your
[56:03] Speaker 3: life will capture it as an experience, it depends on
[56:06] Speaker 3: understanding these dynamics.
[56:09] Speaker 2: That one, it is.
[56:09] Speaker 3: Finished in Christ. But number two, it will require partnership
[56:13] Speaker 3: on your own part. We call it the God-man partnership.
[56:16] Speaker 3: That man always has a role, a participatory role in
[56:21] Speaker 3: making that which is finished in Christ manifest as your reality.
[56:28] Speaker 2: Are we together? Salvation is finished in Christ.
[56:31] Speaker 3: But if you do not participate by confessing the Lordship
[56:35] Speaker 3: of Christ, you will still go to hell.
[56:37] Speaker 2: Are we together?
[56:39] Speaker 3: Praise the name of the Lord. Let me give you
[56:42] Speaker 3: number four. The fourth area of emphasis. You must understand
[56:50] Speaker 3: God's end time program.
[56:52] Speaker 2: Oh yes. You must understand the full scope.
[56:56] Speaker 3: Maybe another time if God grants grace we'll come and
[56:58] Speaker 3: talk on that. God's end time program. So when you
[57:05] Speaker 3: press for personal victory it does not stop there. Beyond
[57:09] Speaker 3: achieving personal victory is where your heart becomes invested in
[57:14] Speaker 3: birthing and championing the program of the Spirit. Listen, the
[57:18] Speaker 3: real value of winning is not just to show people
[57:21] Speaker 3: you are a winner. It's so that you take away
[57:24] Speaker 3: the distraction and you can spend the remaining part of
[57:27] Speaker 3: your life directly invested in god's kingdom come program and
[57:33] Speaker 3: god's kingdom come program is divided into three there is
[57:36] Speaker 3: god's program for the unbelieving world it's called soul winning
[57:40] Speaker 3: world evangelization there is god's program for the church helping
[57:45] Speaker 3: the church attain maturity and stature through discipleship there is
[57:49] Speaker 3: god's program for the nations it's called territorial advancement are.
[57:55] Speaker 2: We together.
[58:00] Speaker 3: God helps us and sorts our lives so that we
[58:04] Speaker 3: can focus on his agenda. How many of you know
[58:08] Speaker 3: that it will be difficult, not impossible, but it will
[58:12] Speaker 3: be difficult.
[58:13] Speaker 2: To give consistently, for an example, to the.
[58:16] Speaker 3: Work of God if you have all kinds of financial limitations.
[58:20] Speaker 3: While it is true that giving is of the heart,
[58:23] Speaker 3: but truly it is enhanced by the presence of abundance.
[58:29] Speaker 2: Hallelujah.
[58:32] Speaker 3: The reason why the people at Jesus' crusade could throw
[58:35] Speaker 3: 12 baskets was because.
[58:36] Speaker 2: They were full.
[58:38] Speaker 3: If they were still hungry, you would not find even
[58:42] Speaker 3: one crumb on the ground. How do I know that?
[58:45] Speaker 3: The wife, I mean the woman in Zarephath, he said,
[58:49] Speaker 3: make me some bread. She said, no, no, no, we
[58:51] Speaker 3: don't have room for waste now. We are about to
[58:53] Speaker 3: eat this one and die.
[58:55] Speaker 2: Hallelujah.
[58:56] Speaker 3: Praise the name of the Lord. Let me tell you,
[59:00] Speaker 3: One of the greatest ways to show you love Jesus
[59:03] Speaker 3: is not kneeling and crying. It's your investedness in seeing
[59:07] Speaker 3: his desire for the nations come to pass. You can
[59:11] Speaker 3: sing that you love him. You can say that you
[59:14] Speaker 3: love him. But your giving does the louder speaking. Investing
[59:19] Speaker 3: your time, energy, and resources. Are we together? That you
[59:22] Speaker 3: are all about souls. And people say, don't you do
[59:25] Speaker 3: anything with your life? And you say, God has so
[59:27] Speaker 3: sorted me. What is left again? You see that most
[59:32] Speaker 3: believers don't know the purpose of prosperity or the purpose of.
[59:36] Speaker 2: A good life.
[59:37] Speaker 3: And if you do not know it, you will misrepresent
[59:40] Speaker 3: your goodness before the world. Because they will think your
[59:44] Speaker 3: entire journey was just to use God to get things.
[59:48] Speaker 3: But we show the unbelieving world that there is a
[59:51] Speaker 3: journey beyond comfort.
[59:53] Speaker 2: There is a journey beyond personal results. Are we together?
[59:56] Speaker 3: That now you become invested in the things of God.
[1:00:01] Speaker 3: Why should a multi-millionaire or a billionaire get up to
[1:00:04] Speaker 3: pray in the morning, interceding for the nations? Because there
[1:00:08] Speaker 3: is still a project beyond money.
[1:00:10] Speaker 2: Are you seeing that now?
[1:00:12] Speaker 3: Why should someone still serve in church as a CEO,
[1:00:16] Speaker 3: having all kinds of conglomerates across the globe? Because it
[1:00:19] Speaker 3: was never about those things. They were vehicles. Now he
[1:00:23] Speaker 3: can serve the Lord sincerely.
[1:00:25] Speaker 2: Who is learning?
[1:00:26] Speaker 3: Let me pray for you. Whatever is needed for your comfort.
[1:00:31] Speaker 3: To give you the convenience. To serve the program of God.
[1:00:35] Speaker 3: I pray for you. I stand in faith with your pastor.
[1:00:38] Speaker 3: That between now and the end of the year. Pleasant surprises.
[1:00:43] Speaker 3: Pleasant surprises. Open doors. By the spirit of the living God.
[1:00:49] Speaker 3: Exploits by wisdom. Exploits by the spirit. Exploits by grace.
[1:00:56] Speaker 2: Please sit down.
[1:00:57] Speaker 3: I'll give you the final key and then I'm done.
[1:01:01] Speaker 3: So five things to focus on. Number one, intimacy with God.
[1:01:05] Speaker 3: Number two, your growth and transformation. Number three, how to
[1:01:10] Speaker 3: manifest victory and triumph using the resources of the kingdom.
[1:01:14] Speaker 3: Number four, being invested in birthing and fulfilling God's.
[1:01:19] Speaker 2: End time program.
[1:01:21] Speaker 3: That also includes excelling in every area of your life. Really,
[1:01:24] Speaker 3: a life of impact and, you know, a difference, making
[1:01:29] Speaker 3: a difference. And then number five, you want to live
[1:01:32] Speaker 3: an efficient Christian life, you must understand fulfillment beyond success.
[1:01:39] Speaker 2: If you do not understand fulfillment, you will still be frustrated.
[1:01:43] Speaker 3: There is a level that goes way beyond being successful.
[1:01:47] Speaker 3: Don't stop at being successful.
[1:01:49] Speaker 2: Fulfillment. Let me define for you quickly what fulfillment is.
[1:01:53] Speaker 3: Fulfillment is the satisfaction that is derived from knowing that
[1:01:58] Speaker 3: you have lived your life efficiently. Serving the purposes of God.
[1:02:03] Speaker 3: Living a victorious life and being a blessing to your world.
[1:02:06] Speaker 2: Fulfillment.
[1:02:08] Speaker 3: The satisfaction that is derived from knowing that you have
[1:02:12] Speaker 3: lived your life efficiently. serving the purposes of the kingdom,
[1:02:17] Speaker 3: living a victorious life.
[1:02:19] Speaker 2: Are we together?
[1:02:20] Speaker 3: And then making a difference, impacting your world. Genesis 12, 3.
[1:02:25] Speaker 3: In thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
[1:02:31] Speaker 2: Be blessed.
[1:02:32] Speaker 3: Second, Timothy, I think 4, 7. Paul was speaking and said,
[1:02:37] Speaker 3: I have fought the good fight. I'm wrapping up now.
[1:02:41] Speaker 3: I have fought the good fight. I have finished someone
[1:02:46] Speaker 3: say finished i have finished my cause and i have
[1:02:50] Speaker 3: kept the faith listen there is a level beyond success
[1:02:56] Speaker 3: is called fulfillment and is the only gift you can
[1:02:59] Speaker 3: give yourself success has to do with achieving goals predefined
[1:03:02] Speaker 3: goals but fulfillment is the satisfaction that at the end
[1:03:07] Speaker 3: of your life you can stand before god as a
[1:03:09] Speaker 3: man of god as a child of god knowing that
[1:03:12] Speaker 3: number one You served the purposes of God as best
[1:03:17] Speaker 3: as you knew to.
[1:03:18] Speaker 2: Number two.
[1:03:19] Speaker 3: You exerted dominion upon this life. Manifesting victory. Unquestionable victory.
[1:03:25] Speaker 3: And that number three. You left the world or you
[1:03:28] Speaker 3: can leave the world better than you met it.
[1:03:32] Speaker 2: Is somebody learning? Praise the name of the Lord.
[1:03:35] Speaker 3: So as you explore all the other teachings that come.
[1:03:39] Speaker 3: In the course of this conference, do not forget these
[1:03:41] Speaker 3: five things. A final recap and then I wrap up.
[1:03:45] Speaker 3: Number one, your intimacy with God. In order of priority,
[1:03:49] Speaker 3: it's better to fail in every area of life and
[1:03:52] Speaker 3: win in this one. When you win with God, you
[1:03:55] Speaker 3: are a winner indeed. But number two, growth and transformation.
[1:04:01] Speaker 3: You must transit from being a babe, an infant, to
[1:04:05] Speaker 3: a believer with stature, speaking like Christ.
[1:04:08] Speaker 2: Functioning like Christ.
[1:04:10] Speaker 3: Perhaps you have heard me say having the life of
[1:04:13] Speaker 3: Christ without the mind of.
[1:04:14] Speaker 2: Christ will still leave you defeated.
[1:04:16] Speaker 3: It takes the union of the life of Christ plus
[1:04:20] Speaker 3: the mind of Christ to produce victory. Most believers have
[1:04:24] Speaker 3: received the life of Christ but they have rejected the
[1:04:27] Speaker 3: mind of Christ through transformation. And so the riches that
[1:04:31] Speaker 3: have come through that life cannot be revealed to the world.
[1:04:34] Speaker 3: It is the mind of Christ plus the life of Christ.
[1:04:38] Speaker 3: Unbelievers have rejected the life of Christ. But they have
[1:04:41] Speaker 3: embraced the mind of Christ. The life of Christ plus
[1:04:45] Speaker 3: the mind of Christ.
[1:04:46] Speaker 2: Transformation.
[1:04:48] Speaker 3: And that's the requirement for dominion. You must learn how
[1:04:53] Speaker 3: to be victorious. You must learn how to win. You
[1:04:56] Speaker 3: must train your fingers in the spirit to fight and
[1:04:59] Speaker 3: to war.
[1:05:00] Speaker 2: And then.
[1:05:01] Speaker 3: You must understand God's program. Let me emphasize that. Don't
[1:05:06] Speaker 3: live your life just acquiring and accumulating things. You will
[1:05:10] Speaker 3: become the rich fool with all due respect. You know
[1:05:13] Speaker 3: that guy called the rich fool? It was not the
[1:05:17] Speaker 3: rich that was the problem. It was the foolishness was
[1:05:20] Speaker 3: added to the rich and it destroyed everything. Hallelujah.
[1:05:24] Speaker 2: Praise the name of the Lord.
[1:05:26] Speaker 3: Understand the purpose of his help in your life so
[1:05:29] Speaker 3: that you can focus on the kingdom This is why,
[1:05:32] Speaker 3: let me take a minute to salute all those who
[1:05:36] Speaker 3: are workers in this vision. At the very least, that
[1:05:41] Speaker 3: is the list of your contribution. And also those who
[1:05:45] Speaker 3: are the partners in various degrees to this program. This is, listen,
[1:05:49] Speaker 3: this is how to participate in Kingdom Come, among other channels.
[1:05:54] Speaker 3: And then finally, to live a life of fulfillment. I
[1:05:57] Speaker 3: don't know about you, but at the end of my life,
[1:06:00] Speaker 3: I don't just want to look at pictures of crusades,
[1:06:02] Speaker 3: travels to nations, healings and miracles. I want to know
[1:06:07] Speaker 3: that I served God the best that I was able to.
[1:06:10] Speaker 3: As touching the grace he gave me. And that I
[1:06:13] Speaker 3: walked in victory and dominion in experience. But let it
[1:06:16] Speaker 3: be that I left the world better than I met it.
[1:06:19] Speaker 3: It says, in.
[1:06:20] Speaker 2: Thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
[1:06:25] Speaker 2: Please rise up on your feet. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
[1:06:34] Speaker 3: Thank you for your patience. Let me just make the
[1:06:38] Speaker 3: altar call. Pastor, is that alright?
[1:06:40] Speaker 2: Can I make the altar call, sir? Praise God. Hallelujah.
[1:06:46] Speaker 3: I'm working on borrowed time, but let me give someone
[1:06:50] Speaker 3: an opportunity who wants to truly make Jesus Lord of
[1:06:53] Speaker 3: your life.
[1:06:53] Speaker 2: Remember, he has to be Alpha to be Omega. Omega.
[1:06:58] Speaker 3: You cannot run your life at your own terms and
[1:07:01] Speaker 3: ask him to seal everything you have done with your life.
[1:07:03] Speaker 2: No. He's Alpha.
[1:07:06] Speaker 3: Then he becomes Omega. I'm speaking to someone here who
[1:07:09] Speaker 3: is saying, Apostle, I heard you. I understood what you said.
[1:07:14] Speaker 3: But I need Jesus. That's the beginning. The beginning, the
[1:07:18] Speaker 3: foundation of a victorious life. I want to give one
[1:07:21] Speaker 3: sincere person an opportunity to make it right. Or someone
[1:07:25] Speaker 3: who wants to rededicate your life. And you're saying, Apostle,
[1:07:28] Speaker 3: Pastor Bology, I'm not ashamed. I want to make it
[1:07:31] Speaker 3: right with Jesus. I don't want to leave tonight's session
[1:07:35] Speaker 3: knowing that I've not made it right with Jesus.
[1:07:37] Speaker 2: I'll count one to five. I just want one or.
[1:07:41] Speaker 3: Two sincere persons who will leave their seats. I know
[1:07:45] Speaker 3: it's quite a distance, but he left heaven and came
[1:07:47] Speaker 3: to earth for you. Leaving your seat and coming to
[1:07:50] Speaker 3: stand for him is a fair enough bargain. Wherever you are,
[1:07:54] Speaker 3: I'll count one to five. Let me request that you
[1:07:56] Speaker 3: quickly leave your seat.
[1:07:58] Speaker 2: Is that all right, sir? Okay, beautiful.
[1:08:08] Speaker 3: So, understand there are various expressions across the globe.
[1:08:12] Speaker 2: Please lend me your attention. I'm going to make this
[1:08:15] Speaker 2: altar call.
[1:08:15] Speaker 3: Those who are in here on site, whether here, the
[1:08:18] Speaker 3: overflows outside, I request that you come and stand when
[1:08:21] Speaker 3: I begin my counting. And all the other overflows and expressions,
[1:08:27] Speaker 3: please do as.
[1:08:27] Speaker 2: You are told. Some of you may need to walk
[1:08:29] Speaker 2: to your LEDs.
[1:08:30] Speaker 3: You may need to indicate or scan a QR code
[1:08:34] Speaker 3: that will be made available. Let's know that you have
[1:08:36] Speaker 3: made it right with Jesus. I will be glad to
[1:08:39] Speaker 3: follow you up.
[1:08:39] Speaker 2: Are you ready? Let me begin my counting.
[1:08:41] Speaker 3: I want to see a bold brother, a bold sister
[1:08:44] Speaker 3: who understood my teaching tonight and is saying, Apostle, I'm
[1:08:47] Speaker 3: not ashamed.
[1:08:48] Speaker 2: This is for Jesus. One. Let's celebrate them as they come.
[1:08:53] Speaker 2: Come on, Harvesters. You are called Harvesters. You are called Harvesters. Two. come.

[1:10:09] Speaker 2: Make haste quickly, my brothers and my sisters. Come. Come.
[1:10:14] Speaker 2: I still see a few people coming. Please make haste.
[1:10:17] Speaker 2: Make haste. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Hallelujah.
[1:10:28] Speaker 3: Now, lend me your attention to those of you who
[1:10:29] Speaker 3: are following, whether by way of television, those of you
[1:10:33] Speaker 3: who are following online, across the social media platforms, or
[1:10:37] Speaker 3: even those who will be watching by way of rebroadcast.
[1:10:41] Speaker 2: It's an honor to lead you into this prayer, this
[1:10:44] Speaker 2: noble cause.
[1:10:47] Speaker 3: Surrendering your life to jesus is the wisest decision any
[1:10:50] Speaker 3: man can make in this side of god's kingdom because
[1:10:54] Speaker 3: the bible says that whosoever believeth on him should not
[1:10:57] Speaker 3: perish it's a law but that such a one should
[1:11:00] Speaker 3: have life everlasting he says for god did not send
[1:11:03] Speaker 3: his son into the world to condemn the world but

[1:11:24] Speaker 3: moment so that you can make the prayer. And then afterwards,
