[4:59] Speaker 2: precious workforce and all who gave their best and their
[5:04] Speaker 2: all towards this conference. Thank you so much. The Lord
[5:09] Speaker 2: bless you in the name of Jesus. The most important
[5:13] Speaker 2: thing in this conference is that Jesus was revealed and
[5:18] Speaker 2: that Jesus was glorified. We thank God for the privilege
[5:23] Speaker 2: to be used as vessels and we know that that
[5:28] Speaker 2: the best is yet to come in Jesus' name. Alright,
[5:31] Speaker 2: so let's go to the business of tonight. Tonight's teaching
[5:39] Speaker 2: is a question the Lord wants to ask us. And
[5:43] Speaker 2: the answer to this question will determine our relevance even
[5:49] Speaker 2: in the days to come. We're living in very prophetic
[5:52] Speaker 2: times that require discernment. We're living in very prophetic times
[5:58] Speaker 2: that require like the sons of Issachar understanding what the
[6:03] Speaker 2: Lord is demanding first from the saints as far as
[6:10] Speaker 2: his end time program is concerned hallelujah and it's my
[6:14] Speaker 2: responsibility under God to work in partnership with the word
[6:18] Speaker 2: and the spirit and to bring us teachings and doctrine
[6:22] Speaker 2: that build and equip us To be relevant in God's program.
[6:28] Speaker 2: Even at times as this. So I want you to
[6:34] Speaker 2: please pay attention tonight. Knowing that the word of God
[6:37] Speaker 2: comes to enlighten. The word of God comes to empower.
[6:42] Speaker 2: The word of God comes to give wisdom.
[6:44] Speaker 3: Hallelujah.
[6:46] Speaker 2: God's method has always been his word. If you ignore
[6:51] Speaker 2: the word of God, you have ignored potential for growth.
[6:54] Speaker 2: You ignore the word of God, you have ignored potential
[6:58] Speaker 2: for excellence. You have ignored potential for a life of
[7:02] Speaker 2: victory and a life of relevance.
[7:04] Speaker 3: Hallelujah.
[7:07] Speaker 2: And so the Lord will grant us grace tonight. And
[7:11] Speaker 2: let me request one more time that you please pay
[7:14] Speaker 2: attention and trust the Lord. To bring his word in season.
[7:21] Speaker 2: To bless. To build.
[7:23] Speaker 3: To empower.
[7:24] Speaker 2: If you believe that say amen. May I request that
[7:27] Speaker 2: you lay your hands on your head. And just pray
[7:30] Speaker 2: for one moment. Declare that your mind is open. In
[7:39] Speaker 2: the name of Jesus. Declare that in the name of
[7:48] Speaker 2: Jesus your mind is open. Is open. Holy. Holy. Blessed
[8:10] Speaker 2: is he. Who comes. In the name of our God.
[8:16] Speaker 2: You're praying. Exodus chapter 32. Exodus chapter 32. We'll begin
[8:40] Speaker 2: our reading from verse 1. Who is on the Lord's side?
[8:47] Speaker 2: Exodus 32 from verse 1. We're teaching tonight on the
[8:51] Speaker 2: topic who is on the Lord's side. And when the
[8:55] Speaker 2: people saw that Moses delayed. This was when Moses went
[8:59] Speaker 2: up the mountain for 90 days. Spending time to receive
[9:03] Speaker 2: the commandment from God. The Bible says the people gathered
[9:08] Speaker 2: themselves together unto Aaron. And said unto him. Up. Make
[9:14] Speaker 2: us gods which shall go before us. For as for
[9:19] Speaker 2: this Moses, the man that brought us up out from
[9:22] Speaker 2: the land of Egypt, we want not what is become
[9:25] Speaker 2: of him. In other words, we don't know what has
[9:27] Speaker 2: happened to him. He's taken so long. Maybe he's died
[9:30] Speaker 2: in the presence of God there. And were not ready
[9:32] Speaker 2: to keep trusting for nothing. And Aaron said to them.
[9:36] Speaker 2: Break off the golden earrings. Which are in the ears
[9:39] Speaker 2: of your wives. And of your sons. And of your daughters.
[9:43] Speaker 2: And bring them unto me. And all the people break
[9:47] Speaker 2: off the golden earrings. Which were in their ears. And
[9:50] Speaker 2: brought them unto Aaron. Verse 4. And the Bible says.
[9:54] Speaker 2: And he received them at their hand. And fashioned it
[9:58] Speaker 2: with a graven toad. and after he had made it
[10:02] Speaker 2: a molten calf and they said this be thy God
[10:08] Speaker 2: O Israel which brought thee up out of the land
[10:11] Speaker 2: of Egypt the next verse and when Aaron saw it
[10:15] Speaker 2: he built an altar before it And Aaron made proclamation
[10:20] Speaker 2: and said, tomorrow is a feast of the Lord. Next verse.
[10:23] Speaker 2: And they rose up early on the morrow and offered
[10:26] Speaker 2: burnt offerings and brought peace offerings. And the people sat
[10:30] Speaker 2: down to eat and to drink and rose up to play.
[10:35] Speaker 2: And the Lord said unto Moses, Moses is with the
[10:37] Speaker 2: Lord now. Go, get thee down, for thy people which
[10:41] Speaker 2: thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt have corrupted themselves.
[10:46] Speaker 2: Take note now. They have turned aside quickly out of
[10:50] Speaker 2: the way which I commanded them to. And they have
[10:53] Speaker 2: made them a molten calf. They have worshipped it. They
[10:57] Speaker 2: have sacrificed there unto. And said these be the gods
[11:01] Speaker 2: O Israel. Which have brought thee out of the land
[11:04] Speaker 2: of Egypt. Verse 9. And the Lord said unto Moses.
[11:08] Speaker 2: I have seen these people and behold it is a
[11:10] Speaker 2: stiff necked people. Now therefore let me alone. That my
[11:16] Speaker 2: wrath may wax hot against them. And that I may
[11:19] Speaker 2: consume them. and that I will make of thee a
[11:23] Speaker 2: great nation. And Moses besought the Lord his God and said, Lord,
[11:29] Speaker 2: why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which
[11:32] Speaker 2: thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt
[11:35] Speaker 2: with great power and with a mighty hand? Are we
[11:39] Speaker 2: still here? Verse 12. Wherefore should the Egyptians speak? Moses
[11:44] Speaker 2: is talking with the Lord now. And say, for mischief...
[11:49] Speaker 2: Did he bring them out to slay them in the
[11:51] Speaker 2: mountain and to consume them from the face of the earth?
[11:55] Speaker 2: Turn from thy fierce wrath and repent of this evil
[12:00] Speaker 2: against thy people. 13. It says, remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel.
[12:07] Speaker 2: We can stop here and discuss how a man is
[12:09] Speaker 2: negotiating with God. You see that... Moses is attempting to,
[12:14] Speaker 2: in a way, just convince the Lord not to destroy
[12:18] Speaker 2: these people. And he's not just speaking blindly. He's using
[12:22] Speaker 2: a lot of spiritual intelligence. Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel,
[12:27] Speaker 2: thy servants, to whom thou swearest by thy own self,
[12:32] Speaker 2: and said unto them, I will multiply your seed as
[12:34] Speaker 2: the stars of heaven, and all this land that I
[12:37] Speaker 2: have spoken of I will give unto thee and thy seed.
[12:41] Speaker 2: And they shall inherit it forever.
[12:44] Speaker 3: 14.
[12:45] Speaker 2: And the Lord repented of the evil which he taught
[12:47] Speaker 2: to do unto his people. 15. And Moses turned and
[12:51] Speaker 2: went down from the mount. And the two tablets of
[12:54] Speaker 2: the testimony were in his hands. The tables were written
[12:58] Speaker 2: of both their sides. On one side and on the
[13:01] Speaker 2: other they were written.
[13:03] Speaker 3: 16.
[13:04] Speaker 2: And the tables were the work of God. That means
[13:08] Speaker 2: he wrote them himself. And the writing was the writing
[13:11] Speaker 2: of God, graven upon the tablets.
[13:15] Speaker 3: 17.
[13:15] Speaker 2: And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as
[13:18] Speaker 2: they shouted, he said unto Moses, there is noise of war.
[13:22] Speaker 2: In other words, Joshua thought that, you know, their enemies
[13:25] Speaker 2: had come to subdue them. Verse 18. And he said,
[13:31] Speaker 2: it is not the voice of them, Moses is replying now,
[13:34] Speaker 2: That shout for mastery. Neither is it the voice of
[13:37] Speaker 2: them that cry for being overcome. But the noise of
[13:42] Speaker 2: them that sing do I hear.
[13:44] Speaker 3: 19.
[13:44] Speaker 2: It says and it came to pass. As soon as
[13:48] Speaker 2: he came nigh unto the camp. Moses now. That he
[13:52] Speaker 2: saw the calf. And the dancing. And Moses' anger. This
[13:56] Speaker 2: was the same man who was telling the Lord not
[13:58] Speaker 2: to be angry. Moses' anger waxed hot. And he cast
[14:03] Speaker 2: the tables out of his hand. Watch the punishment. And
[14:06] Speaker 2: break them beneath the mount. 20. And he took the
[14:11] Speaker 2: calf which they had made. And burnt it in the fire.
[14:15] Speaker 2: He ground it into powder. He strawed it upon the water.
[14:20] Speaker 2: And he made the children of Israel drink of it.
[14:22] Speaker 3: Hallelujah.
[14:27] Speaker 2: It's easy to talk when you are not the one
[14:29] Speaker 2: wearing the shoes.
[14:30] Speaker 3: Yes.
[14:32] Speaker 2: And Moses said unto Aaron, What did these people unto thee,
[14:38] Speaker 2: that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them?
[14:41] Speaker 2: Five more verses, 22. And Aaron said, Let not the
[14:45] Speaker 2: anger of my Lord wax hot. Thou knowest the people,
[14:49] Speaker 2: that they are set on mischief.
[14:52] Speaker 3: 23.
[14:53] Speaker 2: For they said unto me, Make us gods, which shall
[14:56] Speaker 2: go before us forever. And as for this Moses, the
[15:00] Speaker 2: man who brought us up from out of the land
[15:03] Speaker 2: of Egypt, we want not what has become of him.
[15:06] Speaker 3: 24.
[15:08] Speaker 2: And I said unto them, whosoever hath any gold, let
[15:13] Speaker 2: them break it off. So they gave it to me
[15:16] Speaker 2: and I cast it in the fire and there came
[15:18] Speaker 2: out this calf. 25. And when Moses saw that the
[15:22] Speaker 2: people were naked, for Aaron had made them naked unto
[15:26] Speaker 2: their shame among their enemies.
[15:29] Speaker 3: 26.
[15:30] Speaker 2: Moses said, he stood at the gate of the camp
[15:34] Speaker 2: and said, who is on the Lord's side? Let him
[15:39] Speaker 2: come unto me. And the Bible says, and all the
[15:42] Speaker 2: sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him. May the
[15:48] Speaker 2: Lord bless the reading of his word in Jesus' name.
[15:51] Speaker 3: Hallelujah.
[15:59] Speaker 2: We'll read one more scripture and then I'll begin to teach.
[16:03] Speaker 2: Joshua chapter 24. Joshua 24, we'll begin our reading from
[16:09] Speaker 2: verse 14. I always like scripture to begin speaking for itself.
[16:14] Speaker 2: And then we'll take it from there. Now, therefore, Joshua
[16:18] Speaker 2: is wrapping up his time now. He's about to die.
[16:21] Speaker 2: And he's giving his final charge to the people. Now, therefore,
[16:26] Speaker 2: fear the Lord and serve him in sincerity and in truth.
[16:30] Speaker 2: And put away the gods which your father served on
[16:33] Speaker 2: the other side of the flood and in Egypt and
[16:36] Speaker 2: serve the Lord. Next verse. And if it seem evil
[16:40] Speaker 2: unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day.
[16:43] Speaker 2: Whom ye will serve, whether the gods which your fathers
[16:48] Speaker 2: served that were on the other side of the flood,
[16:50] Speaker 2: or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell.
[16:54] Speaker 2: But as for me and my house, someone receive it
[16:57] Speaker 2: for yourself. As for me and my house, we will
[17:01] Speaker 2: serve the Lord. Say it one more time. But as
[17:04] Speaker 2: for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Amen.
[17:08] Speaker 2: Verse 16. And the people answered and said, God forbid
[17:12] Speaker 2: that we should forsake the Lord to serve other gods.
[17:16] Speaker 2: For the Lord our God, he it is that brought
[17:19] Speaker 2: us up and our fathers out of the land of Egypt.
[17:25] Speaker 2: From the house of bondage and which did those great
[17:29] Speaker 2: signs in our sight. And preserved us in all the
[17:32] Speaker 2: way wherein we went. And among all the people through
[17:36] Speaker 2: whom we passed. Eighteen. And the Lord drove out before
[17:41] Speaker 2: us all the people, even the Amorites which dwelt in
[17:44] Speaker 2: the land. Therefore we will also serve the Lord, for
[17:48] Speaker 2: he is our God. They are making their declarations now.
[17:53] Speaker 2: And Joshua said unto the people, ye cannot serve the
[17:55] Speaker 2: Lord for he is a holy God. In other words,
[17:58] Speaker 2: you cannot serve him in this state. He is a
[18:00] Speaker 2: jealous God. He will not forgive your transgressions nor your sin. Twenty.
[18:06] Speaker 2: If ye forsake the Lord and serve strange gods, then
[18:10] Speaker 2: he will turn and do you hurt and consume you
[18:14] Speaker 2: after that he had done you good. Twenty-one. And the
[18:19] Speaker 2: people said unto Joshua, Nay, but we will serve the Lord.
[18:23] Speaker 2: Next verse. And Joshua said unto the people, Ye are
[18:26] Speaker 2: witnesses against yourselves, that ye have chosen you, the Lord,
[18:30] Speaker 2: to serve him. And they said, We are witnesses. Now
[18:35] Speaker 2: therefore put away, said he, the strange gods which are
[18:38] Speaker 2: among you, and incline your heart unto the God of Israel. 24.
[18:43] Speaker 2: And the people said unto Joshua, The Lord our God...
[18:48] Speaker 2: Will we serve and his voice will we obey? We're
[18:51] Speaker 2: almost there, 25. So Joshua made a covenant with the
[18:56] Speaker 2: people that day and set them a statute and an
[19:00] Speaker 2: ordinance in Shechem. And Joshua wrote these words in the
[19:05] Speaker 2: book of the law of God and took a great
[19:09] Speaker 2: stone and set it up under an oak that was
[19:13] Speaker 2: by the sanctuary of the Lord. 27. And Joshua said
[19:18] Speaker 2: unto all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a
[19:21] Speaker 2: witness unto us. For it hath heard all the words
[19:25] Speaker 2: which the Lord spake unto us. And it shall be
[19:28] Speaker 2: therefore a witness unto you, lest ye deny your God.
[19:32] Speaker 2: The final verse, 28. So Joshua let the people depart,
[19:37] Speaker 2: every man to his inheritance.
[19:40] Speaker 6: Amen.
[19:41] Speaker 2: Now look up, very interesting. In the first scripture we
[19:45] Speaker 2: read how that The people had left you know, Egypt,
[19:50] Speaker 2: the land of captivity. And they were somewhere in the,
[19:52] Speaker 2: you know, the wilderness. And Moses was summoned by God
[19:56] Speaker 2: to go and receive commandments to guide them. Because they were,
[20:00] Speaker 2: Bible history would tell us they were over 2 million people.
[20:03] Speaker 2: And you couldn't lead a people like that without laws
[20:07] Speaker 2: that would guide them. And so the Lord was giving Moses...
[20:10] Speaker 2: You know, the laws. And Moses spent some time with God.
[20:14] Speaker 2: And the people became so impatient. And they said, look,
[20:17] Speaker 2: we're tired of this thing. Maybe Moses has lost his
[20:20] Speaker 2: place and has died. Aaron, make us gods. We remember
[20:24] Speaker 2: in Egypt, every time they would worship these gods, you know,
[20:28] Speaker 2: Ra and all these other gods. Let's make us these gods.
[20:32] Speaker 2: We will donate our gold. The same gold God gave them.
[20:35] Speaker 2: I hope you know they were slaves. And if you remember,
[20:38] Speaker 2: they spoiled the Egyptians by the favor of God. Now
[20:43] Speaker 2: they had used the same gold. They built a calf.
[20:47] Speaker 2: So while the Lord was with Moses, Moses noticed that
[20:51] Speaker 2: the Lord began to be angry. And he said, something
[20:53] Speaker 2: is happening in the camp. These people have forsaken me.
[20:56] Speaker 2: They've left you thinking you are dead. And now they
[20:59] Speaker 2: are beginning to worship other gods. And Moses supposedly pacified
[21:04] Speaker 2: God and when he came to the camp himself, he
[21:06] Speaker 2: was angry. He broke the commandments, ground it into powder
[21:09] Speaker 2: and gave the people to drink. Then he made a statement.
[21:13] Speaker 2: He said, listen, before I allow the Lord vengeance upon you.
[21:18] Speaker 2: Let me know now who is on the Lord's side.
[21:21] Speaker 2: In other words, I will give you room to choose.
[21:24] Speaker 2: And the Bible says only the sons of Levi moved
[21:27] Speaker 2: and said we're on the Lord's side. When you continue
[21:30] Speaker 2: the reading, you will see that an earthquake happened and
[21:33] Speaker 2: it opened up the earth and swallowed over 3,000 of them. Hallelujah.
[21:38] Speaker 2: Then we come to Joshua 24. Remember that when you
[21:42] Speaker 2: read Joshua from verse 1, Joshua was the successor of Moses.
[21:46] Speaker 2: The same Moses we read about. So what we're reading
[21:50] Speaker 2: is a continuation. Are we together now? Yes. He charged Joshua,
[21:55] Speaker 2: and Joshua led the people excellently. They threw down Jericho,
[21:59] Speaker 2: you know, the whole event that happened at Ai. And
[22:04] Speaker 2: then now, finally, they'd gotten access to their possessions. He'd
[22:09] Speaker 2: shared the land, and he was giving them his final
[22:12] Speaker 2: charge as an old man. He was about to depart,
[22:15] Speaker 2: and he began to charge them. He said, listen. Something
[22:19] Speaker 2: happens to men when they have results. Something happens to
[22:24] Speaker 2: men when they come to a place of inheritance. So
[22:27] Speaker 2: let me give you my final charge that it is
[22:30] Speaker 2: within your power to choose either to serve the God
[22:34] Speaker 2: of heaven or to serve these other gods that you
[22:40] Speaker 2: have seen. And they made up their minds unanimously that
[22:44] Speaker 2: they would serve the Lord God. So he made a
[22:46] Speaker 2: covenant with and dedicated them afresh unto the Lord. I'm
[22:50] Speaker 2: teaching on who is on the Lord's side. We live
[22:53] Speaker 2: in a world today that is very complex. People vacillate
[22:57] Speaker 2: their convictions. Today they are for God. Tomorrow they are
[23:02] Speaker 2: for something else. At the slightest communication of pain or
[23:07] Speaker 2: disappointment or setback, people seem to have a new orientation
[23:12] Speaker 2: as to God. how they want to live their lives
[23:15] Speaker 2: spiritually speaking. Many people have caused God to his face
[23:19] Speaker 2: simply because of one sad event or the other that
[23:23] Speaker 2: has happened. Right now, there's a lot of economic hardship
[23:27] Speaker 2: across the nations, even our nation. And so many people
[23:31] Speaker 2: are beginning to doubt their convictions. People who once were
[23:35] Speaker 2: on fire for God seem to be cold and not
[23:39] Speaker 2: care and not mind. In fact, it's so sad that
[23:42] Speaker 2: those who used to work in the vineyard, people who
[23:45] Speaker 2: were once pastors, laboring missionaries, are now hanging their boots
[23:50] Speaker 2: and saying, this God thing does not, it doesn't seem
[23:52] Speaker 2: to work. I've served God 10 years, 20 years. Sadly,
[23:56] Speaker 2: some of them are our parents, our loved ones, our relatives.
[24:00] Speaker 2: And they will tell you, don't talk to me about
[24:02] Speaker 2: this God. In 1970s, in 1980s, I gave my all,
[24:07] Speaker 2: I served the Lord, and it doesn't look like there
[24:09] Speaker 2: is any profit in serving the Lord. And so this
[24:13] Speaker 2: message comes as a wake-up call. This message comes as
[24:16] Speaker 2: a very strong call. bringing us to a point where
[24:20] Speaker 2: we have to re-examine by the Spirit where we stand,
[24:24] Speaker 2: especially in light of the days that are now before
[24:27] Speaker 2: us and are soon to be upon us. Hallelujah. Let
[24:33] Speaker 2: me start by discussing the implications of being on the
[24:38] Speaker 2: Lord's side. What are the implications of being on the
[24:41] Speaker 2: Lord's side? When the Bible says that a man can
[24:44] Speaker 2: and should be on the Lord's side, Now, you want
[24:47] Speaker 2: to understand this statement, you will need to have a
[24:50] Speaker 2: little appreciation for sports. Many of you here, I believe,
[24:54] Speaker 2: watch football, and this is not to create any controversy,
[24:58] Speaker 2: but some of you are already smiling because I mentioned
[25:01] Speaker 2: soccer or football because you are now thinking of your team.
[25:04] Speaker 2: And there is such a disturbing, in fact, loyalty for
[25:09] Speaker 2: teams and sports, whether it's in soccer, basketball, but football especially,
[25:15] Speaker 2: or soccer as we know, There are so many teams,
[25:18] Speaker 2: popular teams that we have, you know, and they have
[25:24] Speaker 2: what they call a fan base. Am I right on that?
[25:28] Speaker 2: And some of you are dedicated fans of certain clubs,
[25:32] Speaker 2: very dedicated. You can fight for them. You can die
[25:36] Speaker 2: for them. You can argue as to who won, who
[25:41] Speaker 2: should be bought over as a player, or who should
[25:44] Speaker 2: be thrown out. And there are people who begin to
[25:48] Speaker 2: argue over clubs and they say, if you've not started
[25:50] Speaker 2: watching football from 2001, don't join this argument. And I've
[25:57] Speaker 2: had quite an experience watching people zeal. And it's very instructive.
[26:01] Speaker 2: You see people remove their shirts, they endure the heat,
[26:04] Speaker 2: standing close to cinema houses, crying, weeping, expressions of emotions, arguing,
[26:11] Speaker 2: husbands fighting with wives because they are two teams apart. Now,
[26:17] Speaker 2: the point I'm trying to communicate is that in this scenario,
[26:21] Speaker 2: when two teams are about to play, usually, even the
[26:24] Speaker 2: best of friends, the moment they are ready to watch
[26:29] Speaker 2: the football match, they now diverge themselves to different sides.
[26:33] Speaker 2: For instance, someone can say, I'm for Arsenal. Then another
[26:37] Speaker 2: person says, I'm for Man U. That's what you call it.
[26:40] Speaker 2: And then every other team that you know that I
[26:43] Speaker 2: don't know. Hallelujah. Are we together? And sometimes you can
[26:50] Speaker 2: find the best of friends. I mean, these were people
[26:53] Speaker 2: who had together, they woke up together, rejoicing together. And
[26:57] Speaker 2: simply because there is a match playing, they can look
[27:00] Speaker 2: at themselves with such disdain, argue and insult themselves. And
[27:04] Speaker 2: you see players rejoice when they have an opportunity or
[27:07] Speaker 2: fans rejoice when they have the opportunity to buy the
[27:10] Speaker 2: original used shirts. Of some of the players, they rejoice,
[27:14] Speaker 2: you know. People subscribe to different platforms that seem to
[27:20] Speaker 2: promote a strong fan base. And there are people who
[27:24] Speaker 2: would tell you, some have even tattooed it on themselves.
[27:28] Speaker 2: I'm a diehard Arsenal fan, or a diehard Man U fan,
[27:34] Speaker 2: or a diehard whatever it is, you know. So... That
[27:38] Speaker 2: is the concept of identity. They have chosen to identify
[27:43] Speaker 2: with a team. And even in the face of defeat,
[27:48] Speaker 2: there are times that you see that when a match
[27:50] Speaker 2: is over, you see a group of people rejoicing, laughing
[27:53] Speaker 2: at others, and you see others disappointed but still determined
[27:57] Speaker 2: to remain there. Have you seen that happen?
[28:00] Speaker 1: No.
[28:03] Speaker 2: Disappointed but determined. They will patiently wait for another season
[28:07] Speaker 2: when they hope that their teams will win again. So
[28:12] Speaker 2: it's in that similitude that Moses is charging the people.
[28:17] Speaker 2: And this is what he's saying. You spent 430 years
[28:21] Speaker 2: in Egypt. You saw the Egyptians and you saw their gods.
[28:25] Speaker 2: You had an opportunity to see their gods walk and act.
[28:29] Speaker 2: You had an opportunity to see them use divination and
[28:32] Speaker 2: spiritism And you saw whatever merits and demerits that came
[28:36] Speaker 2: from that practice. And you also had an opportunity to
[28:39] Speaker 2: see the true God, Yahweh. When I came to advocate
[28:42] Speaker 2: your exodus, you saw the plagues, you were witnesses. Now,
[28:48] Speaker 2: that you have deviated simply because I was away for
[28:51] Speaker 2: maybe some weeks. He says, I'm giving you one last
[28:55] Speaker 2: chance before the Lord vents his anger. You have to
[28:59] Speaker 2: make a very strong and a very firm decision. Who
[29:05] Speaker 2: is on the Lord's side? Who is on the Lord's side?
[29:09] Speaker 2: Who is on the Lord's side? Write this down, please.
[29:15] Speaker 2: What is the implication of being on the Lord's side?
[29:19] Speaker 2: Number one, the Lord's side is the side of protection
[29:25] Speaker 2: and preservation. Please write it down. The Lord's side is
[29:35] Speaker 2: the side of protection and preservation. Psalm 62. and verse 8.
[29:41] Speaker 2: Psalm 63 and verse 8. He said, my soul followed
[29:48] Speaker 2: hard after thee. Thy right hand upholded me. The Lord's side,
[29:55] Speaker 2: I'm discussing the implications of being on the Lord's side.
[29:59] Speaker 2: What are the merits? Is there any benefit of being
[30:03] Speaker 2: on the Lord's side? That number one, the Lord's side
[30:06] Speaker 2: is the side of protection and preservation. John 17 and
[30:11] Speaker 2: verse 12. Jesus is praying now. John 17 and verse 12. 1, 2.
[30:18] Speaker 2: John 17, 12. He says, while I was with them
[30:21] Speaker 2: in the world, I kept them in thy name. Those
[30:27] Speaker 2: that thou gavest me, I have kept. Those that you
[30:31] Speaker 2: gave me, those that came to me, I have kept.
[30:35] Speaker 2: He says, and none of them is lost except the
[30:38] Speaker 2: son of perdition that the scripture might be fulfilled. 2
[30:45] Speaker 2: Timothy chapter 1 and verse 2. Is God speaking to
[30:48] Speaker 2: us already? 2 Timothy 1, 12. My apologies. 1 verse 12.
[30:53] Speaker 2: 2 Timothy 1 and verse 12. It says, for which
[30:58] Speaker 2: things cause I also suffer these things. Nevertheless, I am
[31:02] Speaker 2: not ashamed. For I know whom I have believed. Powerful scripture.
[31:08] Speaker 2: And I am persuaded that he is able to keep
[31:12] Speaker 2: that which I have committed unto him against that day.
[31:17] Speaker 2: That when you come to his side and commit things
[31:20] Speaker 2: or commit your life, he is able to keep even
[31:23] Speaker 2: against that day. So when Moses is asking who is
[31:29] Speaker 2: on the Lord's side, he's asking who desires to be
[31:33] Speaker 2: on the side of protection and preservation. Please look at me.
[31:38] Speaker 2: There is no, in the world that we live in
[31:40] Speaker 2: right now, there is no amount of physical security that
[31:45] Speaker 2: is enough to protect an individual from the spiritual, emotional,
[31:51] Speaker 2: and even physical harm and mayhem that plagues our society.
[31:56] Speaker 2: We have seen people attacked with the most sophisticated security architecture.
[32:02] Speaker 2: We've seen people become victims of something the Psalmist calls
[32:06] Speaker 2: the arrows that fly by day, the noisome pestilences by night.
[32:12] Speaker 2: Is that true? The destruction that wastes a noon day.
[32:16] Speaker 2: We've seen people healthy and strong, yet they died. We've
[32:21] Speaker 2: seen people attempting to manage mysterious sicknesses that doctors and,
[32:27] Speaker 2: you know, medics are not able to diagnose. The Lord sighed.
[32:36] Speaker 2: Means immunity against the wickedness and the mayhem that plagues
[32:42] Speaker 2: our world. In fact, the Bible says the name of
[32:44] Speaker 2: the Lord is a strong tower. You believe that? It
[32:47] Speaker 2: says the righteous run to it and they are saved.
[32:51] Speaker 2: That some trust in horses and chariots. Now you must
[32:54] Speaker 2: understand that horses and chariots are very important. The armies
[33:00] Speaker 2: in ancient times would climb on horses and chariots to fight.
[33:04] Speaker 2: So it says some trust in horses and chariots. But
[33:07] Speaker 2: we will trust in the name of the Lord our God.
[33:14] Speaker 2: The Lord's side. It's a side of protection and preservation.
[33:17] Speaker 2: I don't know about you, but I submit to you
[33:20] Speaker 2: by the integrity of the word that the days that
[33:22] Speaker 2: are coming will require supernatural protection and supernatural preservation. Because
[33:30] Speaker 2: you see, for many of you, the way God is
[33:32] Speaker 2: training you and the way God is raising you, there
[33:35] Speaker 2: are altars that fought people who went before you. At
[33:38] Speaker 2: the moment someone begins to rise from a family, here
[33:42] Speaker 2: comes these wicked spirits and this altar. It says, what
[33:45] Speaker 2: seest thou? And he said, four horns. These are the
[33:49] Speaker 2: horns that have lifted up themselves against Judah, against Jerusalem,
[33:54] Speaker 2: and against Israel. It says, so that no man doth
[33:57] Speaker 2: lift up his head. Have you seen a scenario where
[34:03] Speaker 2: someone who now becomes the breadwinner or the one God
[34:06] Speaker 2: is lifting to wipe the tears of a family and
[34:09] Speaker 2: all of a sudden he will tell you, I just
[34:11] Speaker 2: went out and a bike hit me. Shout God forbid.
[34:15] Speaker 2: One more time, shout God forbid. Who is on the
[34:19] Speaker 2: Lord's side means who is interested in securing the protection
[34:25] Speaker 2: and the preservation of Elohim in these perilous times, these
[34:30] Speaker 2: evil days. Where someone can give you a kiss as Judas,
[34:34] Speaker 2: you will think it's a kiss of love, but it's
[34:37] Speaker 2: a sign to the enemy, this is the one to kill.
[34:41] Speaker 2: Have you not heard of people who arrange the kidnap
[34:44] Speaker 2: of their fathers, their brothers, and they join the people
[34:48] Speaker 2: to cry? The Bible says the heart of man is
[34:52] Speaker 2: desperately wicked. Is someone getting blessed already? Let me tell
[34:58] Speaker 2: you the truth. It's good to be in the side
[35:00] Speaker 2: of the police. It's good to be in the side
[35:03] Speaker 2: of the law enforcement agencies, the DSS. They have their place.
[35:07] Speaker 2: Excellent people. It's good to be in the side of
[35:10] Speaker 2: all kinds of people. It's good to be in the
[35:12] Speaker 2: side of doctors and medics and paramedics. But the Lord
[35:17] Speaker 2: is asking you a question. If God does not build
[35:22] Speaker 2: a house, who will claim that he can build it
[35:25] Speaker 2: for you?
[35:25] Speaker 3: Are we together?
[35:26] Speaker 2: Are we together? Who is on the Lord's side. Meaning
[35:31] Speaker 2: who is on the side of preservation. I don't know
[35:34] Speaker 2: about you. But I'm not ready to risk my life.
[35:37] Speaker 2: Giving a chance to trust mundane things and people. I
[35:41] Speaker 2: have found that God is the only one who can
[35:45] Speaker 2: protect a man. The Bible says he stands by me
[35:48] Speaker 2: as a mighty terrible one. I don't know the arrows
[35:53] Speaker 2: that fly by day. I don't know how many shrines
[35:55] Speaker 2: my name is taken to every day. I don't know
[35:58] Speaker 2: how many shrines... You will be joking to believe everybody
[36:01] Speaker 2: loves you. You will be joking to think that while
[36:04] Speaker 2: you are praying in tongues, while you are rising and declaring,
[36:07] Speaker 2: God lift me. I hope you know that while you
[36:10] Speaker 2: are making up your mind to be a blessing, Satan
[36:12] Speaker 2: is also a witness. He's watching your prayer. He's watching
[36:16] Speaker 2: your sacrifice. He's already seen the formation of the anointing
[36:19] Speaker 2: upon you. He knows you are an apostle rising for sure.
[36:22] Speaker 2: He knows you are a prophet rising for sure. He
[36:25] Speaker 2: knows that you are a kingdom entrepreneur rising for sure.
[36:28] Speaker 2: And I assure you by the integrity of scripture. Satan
[36:31] Speaker 2: will do all within his power. Don't say I did
[36:34] Speaker 2: not trouble anyone. The fact that you found yourself on
[36:38] Speaker 2: this side of God's kingdom. And you made up your
[36:41] Speaker 2: mind for Jesus. A line has been drawn. Who is
[36:47] Speaker 2: on the Lord's side? Who is on the side of
[36:51] Speaker 2: safety and preservation? Our forefathers, even though they did not
[36:57] Speaker 2: serve the God of heaven, they were intelligent enough to
[37:00] Speaker 2: know that they would never leave home without protection. Am
[37:03] Speaker 2: I right on that? They had all kinds of things.
[37:06] Speaker 2: They would tie some. They would swallow some. Some of
[37:09] Speaker 2: us even growing up sadly, maybe we were victims of
[37:13] Speaker 2: some of these people. They made all kinds of incisions.
[37:15] Speaker 2: They made incantations. They were not evil. It was their way.
[37:19] Speaker 2: They knew that the war is risky to walk without protection.
[37:24] Speaker 2: And preservation. Someone can shake your hand. And say how
[37:29] Speaker 2: are you? I've not seen you for 10 years. And
[37:33] Speaker 2: from the day he shook your hand. You don't know
[37:35] Speaker 2: whether it's HIV. Or it's cancer. You just know you
[37:38] Speaker 2: are losing weight. You just know you are not seen well.
[37:42] Speaker 2: What is happening to you?
[37:43] Speaker 1: Where did you go to? I will not be afraid
[37:53] Speaker 1: of ten thousands of people that set themselves against me
[37:58] Speaker 1: round about. I lay me down and I slept.
[38:08] Speaker 2: I wait for the Lord sustains me.
[38:13] Speaker 4: Now the Lord.
[38:18] Speaker 2: Got a shield for me. Prophesy it upon your destiny.
[38:27] Speaker 4: My glory, the winter of my life.
[38:40] Speaker 2: Once you're seated, I'd like you to begin to prophesy
[38:43] Speaker 2: protection upon yourself and upon your children. No power, no enchantment,
[38:49] Speaker 2: no charm will walk over my life. In the name
[38:52] Speaker 2: of Jesus, I declare that I am on the Lord's side. Oh,
[38:56] Speaker 2: they shall gather, but that their gathering is not of God.
[38:59] Speaker 2: There is a mysterious force that will scatter them. Declare
[39:03] Speaker 2: prayer covering over your children over your ministry I will
[39:08] Speaker 2: not be the victim of the conclusion of the wickedness
[39:12] Speaker 2: of men immune by the jealousy and the preserving power
[39:17] Speaker 2: of Elohim Someone prayed I have no covenant with death.
[39:24] Speaker 2: I have no covenant with destruction. I have no covenant
[39:33] Speaker 2: with necromancy and invocation of dark powers. Activities of familiar spirits. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
[39:50] Speaker 3: Hallelujah.
[39:53] Speaker 2: The higher you rise in life, the more you must
[39:56] Speaker 2: understand the mystery of preservation. Please hear what I'm telling you.
[40:01] Speaker 2: I'm not scaring you, but I'm opening you to the
[40:03] Speaker 2: reality of the world that we live in. Are we together?
[40:07] Speaker 2: What did Jesus do to command attacks? All he needed
[40:11] Speaker 2: to do was exploit. And a group of people gathered
[40:16] Speaker 2: and said... This person is making news too much. No,
[40:21] Speaker 2: the whole city is turning towards him. What do we
[40:24] Speaker 2: do now? Who can we use? What can we use?
[40:27] Speaker 2: Let me prophesy to someone. Any gathering in the name
[40:31] Speaker 2: of Jesus, the son of the living God, where your
[40:33] Speaker 2: name is mentioned for evil, may fire consume that gathering.
[40:39] Speaker 2: May fire consume that gathering. May fire consume that gathering.
[40:44] Speaker 2: In the name of Jesus Christ. Hear me. Let me
[40:49] Speaker 2: speak over any man of God here. Any attack to
[40:53] Speaker 2: fight your mantle. Every attack to fight your church. Every
[40:57] Speaker 2: orchestration of darkness to fight your relevance. It goes down
[41:02] Speaker 2: in the name of Jesus. Please sit down. This is
[41:12] Speaker 2: the reason why it matters whose side you are. Jesus
[41:20] Speaker 2: told us that we have the liberty to serve many things,
[41:23] Speaker 2: not just many gods. In fact, you can choose God
[41:27] Speaker 2: or mammon. You can choose the God of heaven or Baal.
[41:32] Speaker 2: You can choose God of heaven or whatever kind of thing.
[41:36] Speaker 2: You can even serve yourself, be the God of yourself.
[41:40] Speaker 2: Like the rich fool said, my soul find rest. Number two.
[41:48] Speaker 2: What does it mean to be on the Lord's side?
[41:50] Speaker 2: What is the implication of being on the Lord's side
[41:53] Speaker 2: in this day and in this time? Are you ready now?
[41:57] Speaker 2: The Lord's side is the side of power. The Lord's
[42:02] Speaker 2: side is the side of power. It says, Our Lord God,
[42:07] Speaker 2: thou hast made the heavens and the earth by thy
[42:11] Speaker 2: great power. Thou hast made the heavens and the earth
[42:16] Speaker 2: by thy great power. Thou hast made the heavens and
[42:20] Speaker 2: the earth by thy great power. If God needed power
[42:25] Speaker 2: to make the heavens and the earth, it would take
[42:27] Speaker 2: power to make anything in your life. including the future
[42:31] Speaker 2: that you desire. Our Lord God, he says, thou has
[42:34] Speaker 2: made the heavens and the earth by thy great power.
[42:38] Speaker 2: My apologies, Jeremiah 32 and you find 16, 17, 17.
[42:43] Speaker 2: Our Lord God, behold, you have made the heavens and
[42:46] Speaker 2: the earth by thy great power. Please write this scripture
[42:50] Speaker 2: down and don't forget it. In this world, you need power.
[42:56] Speaker 3: Yes, sir. Power.
[42:57] Speaker 7: Power.
[42:59] Speaker 2: Power to subdue. Power against. The Bible says, as many
[43:03] Speaker 2: as believed in him, he gave them power. Not just
[43:06] Speaker 2: an information. The disciples had knowledge. But he said, tarry.
[43:12] Speaker 2: Knowledge alone will fail you. Tarry until you are endued
[43:16] Speaker 2: with power. Man of God. You do ministry in this
[43:23] Speaker 2: end time without securing power. Businessman, without securing power, you
[43:28] Speaker 2: will be a casualty for nothing. Power. Hallelujah. The Bible
[43:36] Speaker 2: says that they found the nation of Israel gathered together
[43:40] Speaker 2: and they assumed a certain formation with the ark being
[43:43] Speaker 2: in their center. And when they called on Balaam to
[43:46] Speaker 2: curse them, he tried and it did not work. He said, listen,
[43:50] Speaker 2: a shout of the king is in the midst of them.
[43:52] Speaker 2: There is a formation that has produced power that no
[43:55] Speaker 2: matter what it is that has come, it's been resisted.
[44:01] Speaker 2: It takes power to be wealthy and to retain wealth.
[44:05] Speaker 2: It takes power to raise children with the wicked options
[44:09] Speaker 2: that plague our world. That your child will ask you
[44:12] Speaker 2: a question that you cannot sleep because of something he
[44:15] Speaker 2: has learned somewhere. Growing up, if parents did not want
[44:21] Speaker 2: you to watch certain things, all they needed to do
[44:23] Speaker 2: was to off the television. And everyone knows that it's over.
[44:26] Speaker 2: But right now, you off the TV, they on many
[44:28] Speaker 2: other things. Many other things. The Bible says there is,
[44:31] Speaker 2: as it were, many voices and that none of them
[44:35] Speaker 2: is without signification. Who is on the Lord's side means
[44:39] Speaker 2: who is interested in accessing power to remain, power to continue,
[44:44] Speaker 2: power to subdue. Number three, what is the implication of
[44:51] Speaker 2: being on the Lord's side? Are you ready for number three?
[44:54] Speaker 2: The Lord's side is a side of victory. The Lord's
[44:59] Speaker 2: side is the side of victory. The Bible says the
[45:02] Speaker 2: shouts of joy and victory shall not depart from the
[45:05] Speaker 2: tent of the righteous. The shouts of joy and victory
[45:10] Speaker 2: shall not depart. Listen. The tent of the righteous.
[45:16] Speaker 3: Victory.
[45:16] Speaker 2: Now thanks be to God which causes us always to triumph. Listen.
[45:23] Speaker 2: Look up please. For the believer in Christ, challenges are
[45:27] Speaker 2: not unusual.
[45:28] Speaker 8: No.
[45:29] Speaker 2: It is defeat that is unusual. It is not unusual
[45:34] Speaker 2: to be challenged. Whether in your health, whether in your finances,
[45:37] Speaker 2: whether in your marriage, whether with your children. It's not unusual.
[45:41] Speaker 2: Did your Bible not say many are the afflictions of the?
[45:46] Speaker 2: But it does not stop there. It says the Lord
[45:48] Speaker 2: delivered him from them. How many?
[45:50] Speaker 3: How many?
[45:53] Speaker 2: So the moment you find yourself in a disturbing situation,
[45:57] Speaker 2: before you try to manage it, verify whose side you
[46:00] Speaker 2: are standing on. Who is on the Lord's side? Meaning
[46:06] Speaker 2: who is on the side of victory? As a man
[46:09] Speaker 2: of God, if you are not on the Lord's side,
[46:11] Speaker 2: respectfully speaking, you can choose the side of manipulation, you
[46:15] Speaker 2: can choose the side of outsourcing negative demonic powers, in
[46:19] Speaker 2: the end it will fail and fail woefully. Who is
[46:23] Speaker 2: on the Lord's side? The Lord's side is the side
[46:26] Speaker 2: of victory. Can I give us two more? Number four,
[46:30] Speaker 2: the Lord's side is the side of joy and pleasure.
[46:35] Speaker 2: Joy and pleasure. Yes, sir. Joy and pleasure. Psalm 16
[46:40] Speaker 2: and verse 11. The Lord's side is the side of
[46:44] Speaker 2: joy and pleasure. Let's read it together if you're a
[46:46] Speaker 2: child of God. Ready? One, two, read. Thou will show
[46:50] Speaker 2: me the path of life. In thy presence is fullness
[46:55] Speaker 2: of joy at thy right hand. So if you are
[47:01] Speaker 2: not in his presence, you are not at his right hand,
[47:03] Speaker 2: you will not see joy and you will not see pleasure.
[47:06] Speaker 3: Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
[47:10] Speaker 2: There are people in this season that in the midst
[47:13] Speaker 2: of lack, in the midst of want, in the midst
[47:15] Speaker 2: of economic turmoil, God will place garments of honor upon them.
[47:20] Speaker 2: That you look at their lives and you marvel and wonder.
[47:23] Speaker 2: And say, wow, look, it looks like there is famine
[47:26] Speaker 2: in Samaria. How come these people are enjoying abundance like this?
[47:30] Speaker 2: Because when you come to the Lord's side, you have
[47:33] Speaker 2: come to the side of joy, you have come to
[47:36] Speaker 2: the side of pleasure. He said, hitherto you have asked
[47:39] Speaker 2: for nothing. He says to ask and you will receive,
[47:42] Speaker 2: that your joy may be full. Which of you, the
[47:49] Speaker 2: Bible says, whose father, give us Matthew chapter 7 now,
[47:53] Speaker 2: from verse 7. Ask and you shall receive, it says.
[47:57] Speaker 2: Seek and you shall find. Knock and the door shall
[47:59] Speaker 2: be opened unto you. Is that true? Verse 8, he says,
[48:02] Speaker 2: for everyone that asketh, receive it. Everyone that asketh, receive it.
[48:07] Speaker 2: Watch this. If you believe that I have something to
[48:10] Speaker 2: help you and you want to ask me, you're not
[48:12] Speaker 2: going to stand from a distance to ask me. You
[48:14] Speaker 2: have to draw close to my direction. Is that true?
[48:19] Speaker 2: Coming on the Lord's side, meaning you are coming to
[48:22] Speaker 2: the side of the one who you believe has all
[48:25] Speaker 2: things to give you. And he said, everyone who comes
[48:28] Speaker 2: close enough to ask, to seek, to knock, there is
[48:32] Speaker 2: a guarantee that it shall be opened, that you shall find.
[48:36] Speaker 3: Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
[48:41] Speaker 2: That which of you will your sons ask for bread
[48:44] Speaker 2: and you give him a stone? Or ask for fish
[48:47] Speaker 2: and you give him a serpent? That if you, being evil,
[48:51] Speaker 2: know how to give good gifts to your children, how
[48:54] Speaker 2: much more will your heavenly father give the Holy Ghost
[48:57] Speaker 2: to them that ask him? Ladies and gentlemen, please hear me.
[49:04] Speaker 2: You will live a very sad life, a very defeated life.
[49:09] Speaker 2: by every standard and every definition, if you reject the
[49:13] Speaker 2: Lord's side. And technology, respectfully speaking, has its side. Culture
[49:19] Speaker 2: has its side. Are we together? The devil directly has
[49:23] Speaker 2: his side. Experience also has its side. But those who
[49:27] Speaker 2: will win in this time are those who choose the
[49:30] Speaker 2: Lord's side. For the way of the Lord is the way.
[49:40] Speaker 2: I choose the way of the Lord. Sing it one
[49:44] Speaker 2: more time from your heart.
[49:46] Speaker 1: For the way of the Lord is the way of wisdom.
[49:55] Speaker 4: I choose the way of the Lord.
[50:02] Speaker 2: You can do ministry the way you think they are
[50:05] Speaker 2: doing it. You can do business the way you think
[50:09] Speaker 2: they are doing it. And people gather you and say,
[50:11] Speaker 2: this is how they do it now. Or you can
[50:14] Speaker 2: choose that I will be on the Lord's side. Maybe unpopular,
[50:19] Speaker 2: but that is still the Lord's side. The Bible says
[50:24] Speaker 2: narrow is the way that leads to life. And there
[50:26] Speaker 2: are few that follow thereof. It says broad is the
[50:29] Speaker 2: way that leads to destruction. And many, this is how
[50:35] Speaker 2: society is doing it now. When you want a job,
[50:38] Speaker 2: this is how to do it. Yes. When you want
[50:43] Speaker 2: to do ministry, you want a crowd. There is somebody
[50:46] Speaker 2: who will give you something. You eat it or rub
[50:48] Speaker 2: it or do whatever you do with it. If you
[50:50] Speaker 2: want money from people, members, there is a way you
[50:53] Speaker 2: do it. For the way of the Lord is the
[50:59] Speaker 2: way of wisdom.
[51:04] Speaker 4: I choose the way of the Lord.
[51:09] Speaker 1: Listen.
[51:10] Speaker 2: The Bible says in Daniel chapter 1 and verse 8.
[51:13] Speaker 2: It says, and Daniel posed in his heart. that he
[51:18] Speaker 2: will not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat.
[51:23] Speaker 2: What was wrong with the portion of the king's meat?
[51:25] Speaker 2: Was it the animal that was slaughtered? No. It was
[51:28] Speaker 2: the sacrifice and the covenant that was connected to it.
[51:31] Speaker 2: There was a particular dedication that those animals, those rituals,
[51:35] Speaker 2: and he said, no, I have a covenant with God.
[51:38] Speaker 2: I know that it's a pleasure to come and eat
[51:40] Speaker 2: with the king, but I know what you've done with
[51:42] Speaker 2: that animal. I know that you have sacrificed it to
[51:45] Speaker 2: a God somewhere and I will not do anything that
[51:48] Speaker 2: would defile my honor to the king. And he had
[51:51] Speaker 2: to eat leaves, vegetables and water. After 10 days when
[51:56] Speaker 2: they came and presented themselves, they found that he was healthier,
[52:00] Speaker 2: he was fresher.
[52:01] Speaker 3: Are we together?
[52:08] Speaker 2: Are we together? The Lord's side is the side of
[52:12] Speaker 2: joy and pleasure. Can I tell you? Do not generalize
[52:15] Speaker 2: the fact that there's economic hardship everywhere. Do not generalize
[52:20] Speaker 2: the fact that things are not working everywhere. While I
[52:23] Speaker 2: respect and sympathize with our world today and our society,
[52:26] Speaker 2: that these things, they are not untrue statements. But there
[52:31] Speaker 2: is a place of immunity. The Lord's side is a
[52:35] Speaker 2: place of exemption. where people can be exempted and you
[52:38] Speaker 2: can enjoy pleasure, you can enjoy joy and abundance, even
[52:43] Speaker 2: in the midst of scarcity. Did the Bible not say,
[52:46] Speaker 2: when men say there is a casting down for you,
[52:49] Speaker 2: depending on whose side you are, don't claim the scripture
[52:53] Speaker 2: till you verify whose side you are. There are many
[52:56] Speaker 2: who keep confessing, I will say there is a lifting up,
[52:59] Speaker 2: but then they are speaking from a side that is
[53:01] Speaker 2: far from God's side. It may not be your experience.
[53:06] Speaker 2: Number five. What is the fifth implication of being on
[53:11] Speaker 2: the Lord's side? Is the Lord teaching someone tonight? The
[53:15] Speaker 2: Lord's side is the side of rest round about. The
[53:21] Speaker 2: Lord's side, oh hallelujah, this is powerful. The side of
[53:25] Speaker 2: rest round about. Rest round about. In Matthew chapter 11
[53:33] Speaker 2: and verse 28. Please give it to us. Matthew 11, 28.
[53:38] Speaker 2: Jesus said, come unto me all ye that labor. The
[53:44] Speaker 2: word labor there does not mean diligence. Profitless work. Toiling.
[53:49] Speaker 2: And a heavy laden, he says, and I will give
[53:54] Speaker 2: you rest. He never said, I will give you a job.
[53:58] Speaker 2: He never said, I will give you a child. He
[54:01] Speaker 2: never said, I will give you business. He said, I
[54:04] Speaker 2: will give you rest. You know what that means? Whatever
[54:07] Speaker 2: it is that will put you in a state of rest.
[54:10] Speaker 2: including the things that you do not even know you need.
[54:13] Speaker 2: When you come to me, I will give you more
[54:15] Speaker 2: than what you ask for. The goal is to find rest.
[54:18] Speaker 2: The Bible says there remained a rest for the people
[54:21] Speaker 2: of God. Rest on all sides. Rest on all sides.
[54:30] Speaker 2: Genesis 24 and verse 1. Let me show you what
[54:33] Speaker 2: rest round about looks like. Genesis 24 and verse 1.
[54:37] Speaker 2: Everybody please read together. This is the Bible's definition of rest. Ready?
[54:42] Speaker 2: One to read. And Abraham was old and well stricken
[54:47] Speaker 2: in age. And the Lord had blessed Abraham in all things.
[54:53] Speaker 2: Say all things. One more time. Say all things.
[54:56] Speaker 3: Rest.
[54:57] Speaker 2: Rest. Show me a man who has chosen to be
[55:01] Speaker 2: on the Lord's side. Forget about what you think is
[55:04] Speaker 2: not in place. Eventually, that person's life will be left
[55:08] Speaker 2: a praise to the nations.
[55:10] Speaker 3: Yes, sir.
[55:13] Speaker 2: There were people who, as at the time they came
[55:16] Speaker 2: to the Lord's side, there were many things that were
[55:18] Speaker 2: not working in their lives. Maybe their marriages, maybe their finances,
[55:22] Speaker 2: maybe their children, but they were determined to stay in
[55:26] Speaker 2: the Lord's side. And eventually, Isaac for Sarah, Samuel for Hannah.
[55:35] Speaker 2: Are we together?
[55:36] Speaker 3: Yes.
[55:37] Speaker 2: Gideon became a warrior. Joseph became a king. Daniel was
[55:42] Speaker 2: exalted to become one of the presidents. When you choose
[55:49] Speaker 2: the Lord's side, it may have a momentary discomfort. But
[55:53] Speaker 2: I assure you by the God of heaven, that if
[55:56] Speaker 2: you make up your mind that no matter what happens,
[55:59] Speaker 2: I will choose the Lord's side. In other words, you
[56:02] Speaker 2: would have been married if only you compromised your faith
[56:05] Speaker 2: and followed the man just for money. But you made
[56:07] Speaker 2: up your mind and said, I'm going to do it
[56:09] Speaker 2: God's way. It may cost me. They may laugh at
[56:12] Speaker 2: you and say you will sit down there and grow old.
[56:14] Speaker 2: Or maybe some kind of mockery. But you've made up
[56:16] Speaker 2: your mind that if it is not the Lord's side,
[56:19] Speaker 2: I am not going. You would have given bribe or
[56:21] Speaker 2: you would have gone to do some things and you
[56:23] Speaker 2: would have been working by now. And people look at you.
[56:26] Speaker 2: Those who did it that you did not do will
[56:28] Speaker 2: look at you and laugh at you. And say you
[56:30] Speaker 2: see me practicing all this and I am being promoted.
[56:33] Speaker 2: I am now a director. You are still there unemployed.
[56:36] Speaker 2: There are times... Sometimes that it looks stupid to be
[56:38] Speaker 2: on the Lord's side. But can I tell you, the
[56:40] Speaker 2: Lord's side is a side of rest round about. The
[56:44] Speaker 2: Bible says, mark the wicked, their end is destruction. So
[56:47] Speaker 2: don't you just rejoice when people continue to cut corners
[56:51] Speaker 2: and compromise and go forward. Sometimes they make believers look
[56:55] Speaker 2: stupid and wicked. They were sharing the money from the
[56:58] Speaker 2: bribe in the office and you made up your mind
[57:01] Speaker 2: that I will stand with integrity. You would have gotten
[57:03] Speaker 2: 10 million, 100 million and you would have kept quiet.
[57:06] Speaker 2: Nobody will know. Is God speaking to someone? The Lord's
[57:17] Speaker 2: side is the side of rest. rest round about that
[57:22] Speaker 2: a day will come they look at you and your
[57:24] Speaker 2: children are well behaved because there is a covenant that
[57:28] Speaker 2: keeps them in the way of the lord and they
[57:30] Speaker 2: ask you what did you do our own children are
[57:32] Speaker 2: giving us headache we're almost losing sleep and your children
[57:35] Speaker 2: are so obedient you are so wealthy and yet your
[57:38] Speaker 2: children are not lawless and you will tell them i
[57:40] Speaker 2: had an option to fast track my life and destroy
[57:43] Speaker 2: my life but i made up my mind that i
[57:45] Speaker 2: would choose the lord's side Are we together? Who is
[57:57] Speaker 2: on the Lord's side? Ladies and gentlemen, please hear me.
[58:03] Speaker 2: Make up your mind from today. And I'm going to
[58:07] Speaker 2: ask you to lay your hands on your head shortly
[58:09] Speaker 2: and cry that no matter what it takes, I will
[58:13] Speaker 2: remain on the Lord's side. Lay your hands on your
[58:16] Speaker 2: head and begin to pray. Lay your hands on your head.
[58:20] Speaker 2: Begin to pray. Begin to make declarations that in the
[58:23] Speaker 2: name of Jesus, I am on the Lord's side. And
[58:26] Speaker 2: no matter what it will cost me, I decree and
[58:28] Speaker 2: declare that I remain on the Lord's side. Go ahead
[58:31] Speaker 2: and pray.
[58:34] Speaker 1: How I love to stand for you. How I love
[58:46] Speaker 1: worship you.
[58:50] Speaker 2: And even though it hurts.
[58:52] Speaker 1: Me for every step I take and even though it
[58:59] Speaker 1: pains me for every move I make but I love
[59:06] Speaker 1: you I can never ever do without you I love
[59:14] Speaker 1: you I can never ever do without you I.
[59:21] Speaker 2: Love you.
[59:24] Speaker 1: I can never ever do without you pray in one
[59:28] Speaker 1: minute I choose the Lord's side.
[59:32] Speaker 2: I may cry while standing on the Lord's side. But
[59:35] Speaker 2: I choose the Lord's side. I may lose a lot
[59:40] Speaker 2: of things momentarily while standing on the Lord's side. But
[59:43] Speaker 2: I choose the Lord's side. I will do ministry the
[59:46] Speaker 2: Lord's side. The Lord's way. I will stand on His side.
[59:52] Speaker 2: I will grow wealthy standing on the Lord's side. Doing
[59:56] Speaker 2: it His way. Someone pray.
[1:00:01] Speaker 9: Who is on the Lord's side?
[1:00:17] Speaker 2: In the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus.
[1:00:23] Speaker 2: In the name of Jesus. Now I haven't told you
[1:00:26] Speaker 2: the implications of being on the Lord's side. Maybe I
[1:00:29] Speaker 2: should recap. For one last time. Number one, that the
[1:00:34] Speaker 2: Lord's side is the side of protection and preservation. Number two,
[1:00:40] Speaker 2: the Lord's side is the side of power. Number three,
[1:00:44] Speaker 2: the Lord's side is the side of joy, of victory.
[1:00:50] Speaker 2: Number four, the Lord's side is the side of joy
[1:00:54] Speaker 2: and pleasure. Finally, I said the Lord's side is the
[1:00:57] Speaker 2: side of rest. round about. Now, I want to describe
[1:01:03] Speaker 2: for you six people, six states that represent being on
[1:01:11] Speaker 2: the Lord's side so that you will know clearly whether
[1:01:15] Speaker 2: you're on the Lord's side or not. At the end
[1:01:17] Speaker 2: of this discussion, there will be two groups in this place.
[1:01:20] Speaker 2: Number one, those who are on the Lord's side indeed.
[1:01:24] Speaker 2: Number two, those who need to migrate to be on
[1:01:28] Speaker 2: the Lord's side. Are you ready? So who is on
[1:01:32] Speaker 2: the Lord's side? Number one. What kind of person can
[1:01:36] Speaker 2: we say is on the Lord's side indeed? Are you ready?
[1:01:40] Speaker 2: Number one. One who has received the free gift of
[1:01:45] Speaker 2: forgiveness and eternal life through Jesus. That is the first
[1:01:50] Speaker 2: person we can say is on the Lord's side. Who
[1:01:52] Speaker 2: is on the Lord's side? I repeat. Jesus. One who
[1:01:55] Speaker 2: has received the free gift of forgiveness and eternal life
[1:02:02] Speaker 2: through Jesus. Received the free gift of forgiveness and eternal life.
[1:02:09] Speaker 2: Not through a prophet, not through an apostle, not through
[1:02:12] Speaker 2: a church. But through Jesus and him alone. In John
[1:02:19] Speaker 2: chapter 1 from verse 11 and 3. We are discussing
[1:02:23] Speaker 2: who is on the Lord's side now. The Bible says
[1:02:26] Speaker 2: he came unto his own. And his own received him not.
[1:02:30] Speaker 2: Verse 12. Let's read together. Ready one to read. But
[1:02:34] Speaker 2: as many as received him. The Bible says to them
[1:02:38] Speaker 2: he gave power to become sons of God. Even to
[1:02:42] Speaker 2: them that believe on his name. So who is on
[1:02:47] Speaker 2: the Lord's side? One who has received the free gift.
[1:02:51] Speaker 2: Of forgiveness. Romans chapter 5. From verse 1 and 2.
[1:02:57] Speaker 2: Romans 5 from verse 1 and 2. It says therefore.
[1:03:01] Speaker 2: Being justified by faith. We have peace with God. Hallelujah.
[1:03:06] Speaker 2: Through our Lord Jesus Christ. Verse 2. It says by
[1:03:09] Speaker 2: whom we have access. By faith into this grace. Wherein
[1:03:14] Speaker 2: we stand. And rejoice in the hope. Of the glory
[1:03:18] Speaker 2: of God. Ladies and gentlemen, hear me. You cannot be
[1:03:22] Speaker 2: on the Lord's side if you have rejected Jesus. The
[1:03:26] Speaker 2: issue of accepting Jesus, his substitutionary sacrifice, obtaining forgiveness and
[1:03:32] Speaker 2: mercy by his shed blood, and then receiving of his life,
[1:03:36] Speaker 2: is not an issue of fanatism. It's not an issue
[1:03:39] Speaker 2: of altar call. It's not even an issue of being
[1:03:42] Speaker 2: a Christian. This is a call to a functional relationship
[1:03:50] Speaker 2: with the Lord Jesus Christ. 1 John chapter 5. 1
[1:03:54] Speaker 2: John chapter 5 and verse 11. Please give it to us.
[1:03:59] Speaker 2: And this is the record, the Bible says, that God
[1:04:03] Speaker 2: had given Joshua Selman eternal life. It says, and this
[1:04:07] Speaker 2: life is in his son. Verse 12. It says, he
[1:04:11] Speaker 2: that hath the son hath life. And he that hath
[1:04:16] Speaker 2: not the Son of God hath not life. The word
[1:04:19] Speaker 2: life is the Greek word zoe. The life of God.
[1:04:24] Speaker 2: Not just your biological life. You can be living in
[1:04:27] Speaker 2: as much as we know biologically and yet be dead spiritually.
[1:04:31] Speaker 3: Hallelujah.
[1:04:37] Speaker 2: Apostle, how do I know that I am on the
[1:04:40] Speaker 2: Lord's side? I have to check if you have obtained
[1:04:43] Speaker 2: willfully and consciously forgiveness of sins. The Bible says, for
[1:04:50] Speaker 2: all have sinned. And fallen short of the glory of God.
[1:04:54] Speaker 2: Whether you are from whatever nation, whatever race. It doesn't
[1:04:58] Speaker 2: matter how righteous you perceive yourself to be. The Bible
[1:05:01] Speaker 2: says from the lens of God's eternal justice. No man
[1:05:06] Speaker 2: that the greatest of us are righteousness are as filthy rags.
[1:05:11] Speaker 2: So Jesus stands and makes a call. That you come
[1:05:15] Speaker 2: to him just as you are. The hymn writer says,
[1:05:18] Speaker 2: just as I am without one plea, you come to Jesus,
[1:05:22] Speaker 2: the Son of God, the one who gave his life
[1:05:25] Speaker 2: for you. Are we together? Yes. Let me tell you sincerely,
[1:05:31] Speaker 2: if you have not made Jesus Lord of your life consciously,
[1:05:36] Speaker 2: even if you were born by a missionary father or
[1:05:39] Speaker 2: a prophet or an apostle, you have not chosen to
[1:05:42] Speaker 2: be on the Lord's side. In the cross....
[1:05:47] Speaker 1: In the cross be my glory.
[1:05:54] Speaker 3: Ever.
[1:05:56] Speaker 1: Till my raptured.
[1:05:58] Speaker 2: Soul shall find rest beyond the ring. You know why
[1:06:12] Speaker 2: Jesus died? He did not die because he was a sinner.
[1:06:15] Speaker 2: He died because he became sin. And all sinners are
[1:06:21] Speaker 2: doomed to die. But rather than you doing the death
[1:06:25] Speaker 2: out of love and sent by the Father, He died
[1:06:28] Speaker 2: that death for you. Tasting that death, that spiritual death
[1:06:32] Speaker 2: once and for all. The Bible says in John chapter
[1:06:35] Speaker 2: 3 and verse 16. This is not just some evangelical message.
[1:06:38] Speaker 2: Listen very carefully. John chapter 3 and verse 16. He says,
[1:06:42] Speaker 2: For God so loved the world that He gave His
[1:06:45] Speaker 2: only begotten Son that whosoever believeth on Him Whether you
[1:06:51] Speaker 2: are from the east, from the west, whether you are
[1:06:53] Speaker 2: from a family of curses, whether you are someone who
[1:06:56] Speaker 2: has smoked and drank everything you know, it doesn't matter
[1:07:00] Speaker 2: whosoever believes in him. The Bible says he should not perish.
[1:07:03] Speaker 2: It's a law. Once you believe in him, there is
[1:07:06] Speaker 2: no perishing. It says, but have eternal life, everlasting life. 17,
[1:07:10] Speaker 2: it says, for God did not send, he sent not
[1:07:13] Speaker 2: his son into the world to condemn the world, but
[1:07:17] Speaker 2: that the world through him might be saved. For there's
[1:07:21] Speaker 2: none other name, the Bible says, under heaven given unto man.
[1:07:25] Speaker 2: The name of Joshua Selman cannot save you. The name
[1:07:30] Speaker 2: of any apostle or prophet or man of God or
[1:07:34] Speaker 2: government cannot bring salvation.
[1:07:36] Speaker 3: No.
[1:07:38] Speaker 2: There's only one God, one name that saves. And tonight
[1:07:43] Speaker 2: he wants to save you. What does it mean to
[1:07:46] Speaker 2: save you? That through Jesus, Atonement. The pain of a ransom.
[1:07:52] Speaker 2: That ransom being his life. He has the power now
[1:07:56] Speaker 2: to translate you from the kingdom of darkness into the
[1:07:59] Speaker 2: kingdom of his dear son. Do you know there are
[1:08:01] Speaker 2: many people in church who are not saved? They just
[1:08:04] Speaker 2: came around church and started listening to sermons till they
[1:08:07] Speaker 2: became leaders. They cannot tell you. Listen, growing up, you know,
[1:08:11] Speaker 2: some of our old ones that we say they are
[1:08:13] Speaker 2: old school. There was something, some of them used to
[1:08:16] Speaker 2: write the dates they gave their lives to Christ. Remember?
[1:08:18] Speaker 2: They can say on the 12th of January. But there
[1:08:22] Speaker 2: are many people today you ask them, are you saved?
[1:08:24] Speaker 2: They say yes. How do you know? Well, I just
[1:08:26] Speaker 2: know that I've been around this church thing and that's it.
[1:08:30] Speaker 2: I found myself till now I'm a pastor.
[1:08:34] Speaker 1: He will come and save you. He will come and
[1:08:41] Speaker 1: save you. Say to the weary ones, your God will
[1:08:49] Speaker 1: surely come. He will come and save you. My God
[1:08:56] Speaker 1: will come and save you. you He will come and
[1:09:02] Speaker 1: save you Lift up your eyes again You will arise
[1:09:11] Speaker 1: again He will come and save you.
[1:09:17] Speaker 2: Listen, do you know something I have discovered? By the
[1:09:21] Speaker 2: privilege of God's grace, I've been in this work for
[1:09:23] Speaker 2: a while. Most people are not saved because the gospel
[1:09:27] Speaker 2: was not really presented to them. Most people do not
[1:09:31] Speaker 2: even know what they should believe. And respectfully speaking, let
[1:09:34] Speaker 2: me charge preachers. They have to place their faith in
[1:09:38] Speaker 2: the message. It has to be articulately communicated. Don't just say,
[1:09:43] Speaker 2: come out if you want to be saved. From what
[1:09:46] Speaker 2: to what? So you see people come out and they
[1:09:50] Speaker 2: are smiling while they are saying the salvation prayer. Or
[1:09:52] Speaker 2: someone just walks up and says, Amen. No, sir. You
[1:09:55] Speaker 2: were not saved. Are we together? If you are a
[1:09:59] Speaker 2: missionary here or you are an evangelist, don't go to
[1:10:02] Speaker 2: a crusade ground and be teaching on finances. Don't go
[1:10:06] Speaker 2: on a crusade ground and be teaching on marriage. No, no.
[1:10:12] Speaker 2: purpose of a crusade is to directly bring the gospel
[1:10:16] Speaker 2: to save sinners there are conferences now i'm not i'm
[1:10:19] Speaker 2: not being sarcastic there are conferences and believer meetings that
[1:10:24] Speaker 2: can now zoom to various dimensions of kingdom living and
[1:10:28] Speaker 2: strengthen people but listen once you're on a crusade ground
[1:10:32] Speaker 2: the mission is that jesus will turn many to righteousness
[1:10:39] Speaker 2: I can't teach you. I can't just talk to you
[1:10:41] Speaker 2: for hours and hours on wealth and prosperity. And then
[1:10:46] Speaker 2: I mean, if I'm teaching, of course, I will make
[1:10:48] Speaker 2: the altar call regardless what I'm saying. But even if
[1:10:51] Speaker 2: it's in two minutes, I will say something. The message
[1:10:55] Speaker 2: is very simple. You don't need Rama or Greek or Hebrew.
[1:10:59] Speaker 2: Jesus wants the message to get to the ends of
[1:11:01] Speaker 2: the earth. So he took away the complication.
[1:11:11] Speaker 1: Nina Yesune, bazankoma, bazankoma bayama. Nina Yesune, bazankoma, bazankoma bayama.
[1:11:30] Speaker 1: Nasa halu na akan kekinoma, bazankoma bayama.
[1:11:50] Speaker 2: So you find many people who tell you they are saved.
[1:11:53] Speaker 2: You cannot see the evidence of salvation. They've not met Jesus.
[1:11:57] Speaker 2: Of course, I've taught you when you meet Jesus, it
[1:12:00] Speaker 2: doesn't mean you are automatically transformed. Are we together now?
[1:12:03] Speaker 2: But that you have received that life, the capacity to
[1:12:07] Speaker 2: now begin the process of transformation. Many people in our
[1:12:11] Speaker 2: churches are not saved. I don't say this from a
[1:12:14] Speaker 2: standpoint of sarcasm. That's the reason why you see many
[1:12:17] Speaker 2: people are given leadership positions who have not met Jesus.
[1:12:21] Speaker 2: And they keep making the work of the kingdom difficult
[1:12:23] Speaker 2: because they were never saved. You lay hands and lay
[1:12:26] Speaker 2: hands and lay hands and nothing happens because there is
[1:12:29] Speaker 2: an eternal access for spirits to remain. And return back again.
[1:12:34] Speaker 2: People fall down and stand up. Fall down and stand up.
[1:12:37] Speaker 2: There are others you can lay everything you have to
[1:12:39] Speaker 2: receive the Holy Ghost. They won't receive because they are
[1:12:42] Speaker 2: not saved. Listen, let me tell you this. And don't
[1:12:47] Speaker 2: just think this is a preacher's fanatism. Make sure everybody
[1:12:52] Speaker 2: around you is saved. Are your children saved? No, you
[1:13:01] Speaker 2: know how I am. I don't want any controversy.
[1:13:04] Speaker 7: No.
[1:13:06] Speaker 2: This issue, we have to return back with the passion
[1:13:11] Speaker 2: that brought us to the fold. This is not about
[1:13:14] Speaker 2: being an evangelist or a missionary. It's about being passionate
[1:13:17] Speaker 2: enough to love people. When you see a pole wire
[1:13:20] Speaker 2: wanting to fall down on someone, do you need to
[1:13:23] Speaker 2: be related to the person to save the person?
[1:13:24] Speaker 4: No.
[1:13:28] Speaker 2: I know we have downplayed the message of salvation in
[1:13:30] Speaker 2: church for instance. And we say, no, no, no. Don't
[1:13:33] Speaker 2: say anything that threatens people. Let them not feel condemned. Listen,
[1:13:35] Speaker 2: this is not about feeling condemned. There is a real hell.
[1:13:39] Speaker 2: There are people going there. And there are more people
[1:13:41] Speaker 2: who will go there. Are we together now? When he,
[1:13:44] Speaker 2: the spirit of truth, is come, he will convict the
[1:13:48] Speaker 2: world of three things. Sin, righteousness, and judgment. The purpose
[1:13:54] Speaker 2: of being saved is not just for a good life.
[1:13:56] Speaker 2: The purpose of being saved is not just for prosperity.
[1:13:59] Speaker 2: Those things are the after effects of working with God.
[1:14:05] Speaker 2: It's the reason why even those who are saved at
[1:14:07] Speaker 2: the slightest show of disappointment, like the Moses generation, they
[1:14:12] Speaker 2: will start building idols and say, you told me if
[1:14:15] Speaker 2: I'm saved, in two weeks I will have a car.
[1:14:18] Speaker 2: In two weeks I will have a house. Now I'm saved,
[1:14:20] Speaker 2: it's five years. No nothing, I'm going back. The Moses generation.
[1:14:25] Speaker 3: Hallelujah.
[1:14:32] Speaker 2: Apostle, what do I do now that I have children
[1:14:35] Speaker 2: that look like they will not be saved? Start with intercession.
[1:14:37] Speaker 2: I have taught you. We live in a world where
[1:14:40] Speaker 2: you can't go and stop someone and begin to waylay them.
[1:14:42] Speaker 2: People have rights. And even God respects their will. So
[1:14:46] Speaker 2: I'm not talking about isolating people and being fanatical and
[1:14:50] Speaker 2: bullying people and then being antagonistic to people of other
[1:14:53] Speaker 2: religions or other race. This is not what I'm teaching you.
[1:14:56] Speaker 2: The least you can do is to begin to intercede.
[1:14:59] Speaker 2: Write their names. Bring it for miracle service. Write their
[1:15:02] Speaker 2: names before you write a car. Write their names before
[1:15:05] Speaker 2: you write a husband. Write their names before you write promotion.
[1:15:09] Speaker 2: Father saved. Many of you follow the UK conference. I'm
[1:15:13] Speaker 2: sure you saw one of the women who was jumping
[1:15:15] Speaker 2: at the miracle of salvation. Most people it would take
[1:15:18] Speaker 2: going to heaven and seeing it from the realm of
[1:15:21] Speaker 2: the spirit to know the power of salvation. That Saul
[1:15:25] Speaker 2: can be turned to Paul. That Cephas can be turned
[1:15:28] Speaker 2: to Peter. Who told you God cannot save your husband?
[1:15:32] Speaker 2: Have you prayed? Do you know the power that raised
[1:15:34] Speaker 2: Christ from the dead? How were you when he saved you? Apostle,
[1:15:41] Speaker 2: you don't know what I've done with my life. It
[1:15:43] Speaker 2: does not matter. Apostle, you don't know the kind of
[1:15:46] Speaker 2: husband I married. When I married him, I was not saved.
[1:15:49] Speaker 2: This man drinks anything he finds. Oh, this man is
[1:15:54] Speaker 2: an occultic man. He does, he has, he's in a
[1:15:57] Speaker 2: fraternity that I know. Don't belittle the power of God.
[1:16:01] Speaker 2: You just begin to pray. Invest in intercession. Father, my
[1:16:05] Speaker 2: husband will not go to hell. Lord, this is my
[1:16:08] Speaker 2: child that has vowed that he will not love the Lord.
[1:16:11] Speaker 2: What it takes is one solid encounter. You see, this
[1:16:15] Speaker 2: God we serve, most people don't respect him. They just
[1:16:17] Speaker 2: believe in him. The day God chooses to answer mama's prayer,
[1:16:21] Speaker 2: what he will do to that son? Listen, before Jesus
[1:16:27] Speaker 2: Christ comes, there are many people who are in the
[1:16:29] Speaker 2: beer parlor today. Tomorrow you will see them on a
[1:16:32] Speaker 2: crusade ground and say, is this not the same person?
[1:16:36] Speaker 2: Someone's intercession has brought the person to Jesus. Are we together?
[1:16:42] Speaker 2: You are not a Christian, I'm telling you sincerely. If
[1:16:46] Speaker 2: the passion for souls die in your life, it's a
[1:16:50] Speaker 2: greater attack than an attack on your prayer life. We
[1:16:54] Speaker 2: have used other indices today. People who don't have a
[1:16:58] Speaker 2: passion for souls but have a passion for prayer, have
[1:17:01] Speaker 2: a passion for anointing, they call themselves matured Christians. Go
[1:17:04] Speaker 2: and read the Bible and see the indices that show
[1:17:07] Speaker 2: passion and love for God. Peter loves me more than this.
[1:17:11] Speaker 2: He said, feed my lamb. Let me see the level
[1:17:15] Speaker 2: of love you have for me. By your passion for souls.
[1:17:20] Speaker 2: Not just your passion for anointing. Not just your passion
[1:17:23] Speaker 2: for prayer or for revelation. Those things are wonderful. But
[1:17:26] Speaker 2: there are many people who want the anointing. They want
[1:17:29] Speaker 2: prayer just for flesh. So that they can rise to
[1:17:32] Speaker 2: be famous. When you win souls, it doesn't look like
[1:17:34] Speaker 2: it's very marketable. The souls will not give you anything.
[1:17:37] Speaker 2: They will not reward you. You will not be famous.
[1:17:40] Speaker 2: I'm praying that God will restore our passion. In the
[1:17:45] Speaker 2: name of Jesus Christ. What does it mean to be
[1:17:49] Speaker 2: on the Lord's side? I'm just on number one. I'm
[1:17:55] Speaker 2: describing the kind of people who are on the Lord's side.
[1:17:57] Speaker 2: This is number one. One who has received the free
[1:18:02] Speaker 2: gift of forgiveness. The high point of our crusade in
[1:18:06] Speaker 2: the UK was when we made the altar call and
[1:18:08] Speaker 2: we saw people running to Jesus. I'm telling you that
[1:18:12] Speaker 2: thing does something to me. Hallelujah. Should I make an
[1:18:22] Speaker 2: altar call now?
[1:18:24] Speaker 3: Yes.
[1:18:25] Speaker 2: It's a very good idea to make an altar call
[1:18:27] Speaker 2: right now. Because you strike when the iron is hot.
[1:18:30] Speaker 2: Many of you, as you are hearing me now, I just,
[1:18:34] Speaker 2: I proposed Jesus to you.
[1:18:36] Speaker 3: Listen. Listen.
[1:18:37] Speaker 2: Have you ever wondered why you hate Jesus? For some
[1:18:41] Speaker 2: of you, maybe. Have you ever wondered why it looks
[1:18:43] Speaker 2: like you are not serious about these things of God?
[1:18:46] Speaker 2: If it's football, yes. Other things, yes. but the moment
[1:18:50] Speaker 2: you mention Jesus because there is a spirit that knows
[1:18:54] Speaker 2: that when you come to the Lord's side He can
[1:18:57] Speaker 2: begin to rewrite your story. I hope you know, you
[1:19:00] Speaker 2: may be jumping now because you are 18 years, 19 years,
[1:19:03] Speaker 2: 25 years. You will not always be 25 years. And
[1:19:06] Speaker 2: whether you like it or not, as age comes, there
[1:19:09] Speaker 2: are things that will fade away. And at the end
[1:19:11] Speaker 2: of your life, certain things you were playing with, jumping around,
[1:19:15] Speaker 2: I'm telling you that immaturity will fade away. And most
[1:19:18] Speaker 2: of the people who are playing and wasting your destiny
[1:19:21] Speaker 2: with you, I'm not condemning you. Some of them will
[1:19:23] Speaker 2: be old. Some of them will die. Some of them
[1:19:25] Speaker 2: will waste your time and then quietly go and repent
[1:19:27] Speaker 2: later on. Listen to me. The Bible says... that whosoever
[1:19:36] Speaker 2: calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved.
[1:19:40] Speaker 2: What does it mean to be saved? It means, number one,
[1:19:42] Speaker 2: to believe that Jesus actually walked upon the earth. He
[1:19:46] Speaker 2: came from heaven as an incarnate of the Father. What
[1:19:50] Speaker 2: does it mean to receive Jesus? That you believe that
[1:19:52] Speaker 2: his purpose of coming was as a revelation of the
[1:19:56] Speaker 2: Father's love. That he came and died being the penalty
[1:20:00] Speaker 2: for death. Because it is written the soul that sinned
[1:20:03] Speaker 2: it shall die. And since we are all sinners based
[1:20:06] Speaker 2: on God's justice system. We all should die. But Jesus
[1:20:10] Speaker 2: now came as an expression of love. That instead of
[1:20:13] Speaker 2: us doing that death ourselves. He will put that death
[1:20:17] Speaker 2: on himself and die the death for us. That if
[1:20:21] Speaker 2: you believe in that substitutionary sacrifice, the first thing you
[1:20:26] Speaker 2: are granted is forgiveness of sins by atonement. The second
[1:20:29] Speaker 2: thing you have is access to his life, righteousness, the
[1:20:33] Speaker 2: ability to stand in the presence of the Father without
[1:20:37] Speaker 2: a sense of inferiority, a sense of guilt, a sense
[1:20:40] Speaker 2: of condemnation. You have access to the Holy Spirit. The
[1:20:44] Speaker 2: Bible says Christ has redeemed us from the curse of
[1:20:46] Speaker 2: the law. Being made a curse for us. For it
[1:20:49] Speaker 2: is written. Cursed is every man that hangeth upon the tree.
[1:20:53] Speaker 2: That the blessing of Abraham. Justification by faith. Might come
[1:20:57] Speaker 2: upon we the Gentiles. To the end that we might
[1:21:00] Speaker 2: receive the promise of the Spirit. Through faith. So apostle
[1:21:07] Speaker 2: now that I've heard you. Where do I start? That
[1:21:10] Speaker 2: right where you are seated in this auditorium and in
[1:21:13] Speaker 2: all the overflows outside and following across the globe, the
[1:21:17] Speaker 2: first thing you have to do is to believe that
[1:21:19] Speaker 2: I'm not lying to you. The first thing you have
[1:21:21] Speaker 2: to do is to believe that this preacher who is
[1:21:24] Speaker 2: speaking to you is speaking from a standpoint of love.
[1:21:27] Speaker 2: The second thing you need to do is to act
[1:21:30] Speaker 2: out your belief by faith. The Bible says in Romans
[1:21:33] Speaker 2: chapter 10 from verse 8 to 10. Are we together now?
[1:21:36] Speaker 2: It says that the word is nigh thee even in
[1:21:39] Speaker 2: your mouth and your heart. The word of faith that
[1:21:42] Speaker 2: we preach. The next verse says that if thou shalt
[1:21:44] Speaker 2: confess with your mouth. Your mouth has a role to
[1:21:47] Speaker 2: play in your being saved. And it says to believe
[1:21:51] Speaker 2: in your heart that God raised him from the dead.
[1:21:53] Speaker 2: Then he says thou shalt be saved. Verse 10. He
[1:21:56] Speaker 2: says for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness. And
[1:22:00] Speaker 2: with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. It's a
[1:22:03] Speaker 2: Greek word soteria. Salvation. All kinds of salvation. But in
[1:22:08] Speaker 2: this case the salvation of your soul. I want to
[1:22:15] Speaker 2: be sure that you are saved. Being on the Lord's
[1:22:18] Speaker 2: side primarily means that you have made this choice to say, Apostle,
[1:22:24] Speaker 2: I have an option to reject Jesus. I have an
[1:22:26] Speaker 2: option to choose whatever I want to do. It's my life.
[1:22:29] Speaker 2: This is the generation that likes that statement. It's true
[1:22:32] Speaker 2: that it's your life. But one day you will learn
[1:22:35] Speaker 2: that you were created. Are we together? So when you
[1:22:41] Speaker 2: come to stand here, In total surrender, what do you
[1:22:44] Speaker 2: stand to receive? You're standing before Jesus and you're giving
[1:22:48] Speaker 2: your life and your destiny. Look at me, please. Did
[1:22:51] Speaker 2: you know that for some of you in making your
[1:22:55] Speaker 2: confession of faith to Jesus, everybody who comes out of
[1:22:59] Speaker 2: you will almost naturally follow the God that you know.
[1:23:04] Speaker 2: When a man is not saved, he will become a
[1:23:07] Speaker 2: father that is not saved. He will become a husband
[1:23:10] Speaker 2: that is not saved. He will produce a family that
[1:23:12] Speaker 2: is not saved, which will contribute to making a society
[1:23:15] Speaker 2: that is not saved, and will make a nation that
[1:23:18] Speaker 2: is not saved. When a woman is not saved, she
[1:23:25] Speaker 2: will become a mother that does not care. Whatever her
[1:23:28] Speaker 2: daughters become, it does not matter. Tonight, throw away that
[1:23:32] Speaker 2: it does not matter. Let me make an altar call
[1:23:35] Speaker 2: before we continue. There's no need to co-ask anyone. Please,
[1:23:40] Speaker 2: everybody listen to me. This is a matter of life
[1:23:43] Speaker 2: and death. This is a matter of Jesus. You are
[1:23:47] Speaker 2: here and you've listened to me. And while you listen
[1:23:50] Speaker 2: to me, for some of you are saying, I've never
[1:23:51] Speaker 2: heard it this way. I didn't know this is the
[1:23:54] Speaker 2: good news is that you do not have to pay
[1:23:57] Speaker 2: the price of your sins by yourself again. The eternal
[1:24:01] Speaker 2: father sent his son. He's paid the price. Your assignment
[1:24:04] Speaker 2: is to believe. And that in believing, you receive eternal life.
[1:24:08] Speaker 2: The very life of God. I'm going to make an
[1:24:10] Speaker 2: altar call. Tonight, I want somebody who is bold. Tonight
[1:24:14] Speaker 2: I want somebody who is determined. Tonight I want somebody
[1:24:18] Speaker 2: who has cried in the secret but laughed in the
[1:24:21] Speaker 2: open as if everything is alright. Tonight I want somebody
[1:24:24] Speaker 2: who comes from a family where no one has risen.
[1:24:27] Speaker 2: You know that you may not be serious with God
[1:24:30] Speaker 2: but you know, you see the activity of demon spirits
[1:24:33] Speaker 2: around your life and your family. The way out is
[1:24:36] Speaker 2: not counseling. Counseling comes later. The way out is not
[1:24:40] Speaker 2: convincing yourself that there is no evil. The way of
[1:24:44] Speaker 2: escape is Jesus. Now you see, I don't have to
[1:24:48] Speaker 2: force you. You can make up your mind to listen
[1:24:50] Speaker 2: to me and say, wow, this preacher, I'm glad that
[1:24:52] Speaker 2: you know what you're saying. And yet not make that response.
[1:24:56] Speaker 2: Mine is to stand in partnership with the spirit of God,
[1:24:59] Speaker 2: who is the Lord of the harvest. and propose to
[1:25:01] Speaker 2: you Jesus again. Perhaps you have been here, you watch
[1:25:04] Speaker 2: other people come, you watch the conference, you saw people say,
[1:25:08] Speaker 2: but maybe you've not been convinced. Can you win that
[1:25:11] Speaker 2: war right now? Whether you are outside or inside, I'm
[1:25:14] Speaker 2: going to count one to five. And without looking and
[1:25:17] Speaker 2: waiting for anyone to be the first. I want somebody
[1:25:20] Speaker 2: tonight who is bold and serious. And saying for the
[1:25:23] Speaker 2: sake of my children I will make this decision. I
[1:25:26] Speaker 2: came from a family where no one made this decision.
[1:25:29] Speaker 2: They had their chance. Begin to run out and come
[1:25:32] Speaker 2: and stand here.
[1:25:33] Speaker 3: One.
[1:25:36] Speaker 2: Two.
[1:25:36] Speaker 3: Come.
[1:25:37] Speaker 2: Don't be ashamed. Don't mind who is looking at you.
[1:25:40] Speaker 2: Come to Jesus. Yes sir.
[1:25:42] Speaker 7: Come.
[1:25:43] Speaker 2: Come. Come. Apostle, I come from the east. Come. I
[1:25:51] Speaker 2: come from the west.
[1:25:52] Speaker 3: Come.
[1:25:53] Speaker 2: I don't even know who my father is. You're welcome.
[1:25:56] Speaker 3: Come.
[1:25:57] Speaker 2: He is truly able to give you a new beginning.
[1:26:07] Speaker 2: Your grace has found me just as I am.
[1:26:13] Speaker 1: Empty-handed but alive in your hands.
[1:26:17] Speaker 2: Come to Jesus.
[1:26:19] Speaker 3: Majesty. Majesty.
[1:26:31] Speaker 1: Forever I am changed by your love.
[1:26:37] Speaker 2: In the presence of your majesty. Don't be ashamed of
[1:26:42] Speaker 2: your tears. Come.
[1:26:44] Speaker 3: Majesty. Majesty. Listen. Years ago.
[1:27:10] Speaker 2: I went to preach in a particular campus many years ago.
[1:27:14] Speaker 2: And when I preached, I made an altar call like this.
[1:27:17] Speaker 2: It was, I think, during the admissions program. And then
[1:27:20] Speaker 2: among the many people who came was a gentleman in
[1:27:24] Speaker 2: that place. And just joining the crowd like many people here,
[1:27:27] Speaker 2: he lifted his hands. A few years later, he would
[1:27:31] Speaker 2: invite me. He had now become the campus fellowship president.
[1:27:37] Speaker 2: A vibrant gentleman who was now serving God, spearheading revival
[1:27:42] Speaker 2: within his campus. I was so blessed and elated when
[1:27:45] Speaker 2: I saw him. And last I heard from him, he
[1:27:49] Speaker 2: was still on fire loving the Lord. You never can
[1:27:54] Speaker 2: tell how far. Listen, please look at me, my dear people.
[1:27:57] Speaker 2: We're not acting here. Some of you, while you are
[1:28:00] Speaker 2: standing here, heaven is rejoicing. Because this is what God
[1:28:03] Speaker 2: told those who went before you. To say, the cure
[1:28:06] Speaker 2: to this curse, this backwardness in the family, the cure
[1:28:10] Speaker 2: is Jesus. No matter what kind of job you get,
[1:28:14] Speaker 2: minus Jesus, it will backfire eventually. I assure you. Apostle,
[1:28:24] Speaker 2: I always want to come, but church has condemned me.
[1:28:27] Speaker 2: They made it look like the way my life is,
[1:28:29] Speaker 2: I am so filthy. Don't worry. Don't feel bad. I
[1:28:32] Speaker 2: apologize on behalf of those who did it. Maybe they
[1:28:35] Speaker 2: did it sincerely based on how they were mentored. But
[1:28:38] Speaker 2: you see, let me tell you, the Bible says that
[1:28:40] Speaker 2: everyone who will come to him, he will in no
[1:28:43] Speaker 2: wise cast away. Rebels don't come to Jesus. Rebels run
[1:28:46] Speaker 2: away from Jesus. The fact that you made a bold
[1:28:49] Speaker 2: step to come here is a sign that the Holy
[1:28:52] Speaker 2: Spirit is already walking in your heart. And let me
[1:28:54] Speaker 2: tell you, no matter how far you have been, right
[1:28:57] Speaker 2: now he's ready to make it right with you. Are
[1:29:00] Speaker 2: we together? You are like that prodigal son, that prodigal daughter.
[1:29:03] Speaker 2: Let me lead you. Some of you are crying. Don't
[1:29:05] Speaker 2: be ashamed of your tears. Everybody who is sincerely saved
[1:29:10] Speaker 2: had a point in his life where they made this decision.
[1:29:13] Speaker 2: I'm talking of genuine salvation that transforms you truly. May
[1:29:18] Speaker 2: I please request that you lift your right hand, all
[1:29:21] Speaker 2: of you, as a sign of surrender to Jesus. And
[1:29:23] Speaker 2: perhaps someone is lifting his hands right there in your room.
[1:29:27] Speaker 2: You're watching by your electronic device. You're watching by television.
[1:29:31] Speaker 2: You're watching a rebroadcast. It does not matter. You can
[1:29:35] Speaker 2: start afresh. You can start right now. The business of
[1:29:39] Speaker 2: Jesus provided your life. It is never too late. The
[1:29:42] Speaker 2: Bible says today if you hear his voice to harden
[1:29:45] Speaker 2: not your heart like they did in the wilderness. Lift
[1:29:49] Speaker 2: your right hand. Don't be ashamed. The tears are a
[1:29:52] Speaker 2: sign of surrender. They mean you are giving up on
[1:29:55] Speaker 2: yourself to embrace a greater life. The tears mean I
[1:29:59] Speaker 2: have trusted other things. The meaning of.
[1:30:04] Speaker 1: Your cries, be magnified, oh Lord. You are highly exalted.
[1:30:17] Speaker 1: And there is nothing you can't do.
[1:30:24] Speaker 2: Oh Lord, my eyes are on you.
[1:30:29] Speaker 1: Be magnified.
[1:30:34] Speaker 4: Oh Lord, be magnified.
[1:30:40] Speaker 2: My dear brothers and sisters, I salute you. Please say
[1:30:43] Speaker 2: this prayer after me. Let it be from the depth
[1:30:45] Speaker 2: of your heart. Say Jesus. Let him hear you. He's here. Say, Jesus,
[1:30:50] Speaker 2: I have come to you tonight just as I am.
[1:30:56] Speaker 2: I believe that you died for me. I believe that
[1:31:03] Speaker 2: you rose again for my justification. Right now, I receive
[1:31:09] Speaker 2: you into my heart as my Lord, as my Savior,
[1:31:16] Speaker 2: and as my King. I declare that the power of sin, Satan, hell,
[1:31:26] Speaker 2: and the grave is broken over my life. From tonight
[1:31:32] Speaker 2: until forever, I am a child of God. I go
[1:31:37] Speaker 2: from glory to glory. Amen. Keep your hands lifted and
[1:31:43] Speaker 2: witness the power of salvation. I declare by the integrity
[1:31:47] Speaker 2: of scripture that your sins are forgiven. And in the
[1:31:50] Speaker 2: name of Jesus, I call you recipients of the life
[1:31:53] Speaker 2: of God. I decree and declare that every guilt, every hurt,
[1:31:58] Speaker 2: every shame of the past or whatever it is that
[1:32:01] Speaker 2: the devil is bringing, by the blood we erase it
[1:32:04] Speaker 2: right now. And I declare that from tonight you begin
[1:32:07] Speaker 2: to walk in righteousness in the name of Jesus. And
[1:32:12] Speaker 2: I just feel scared to pray one prayer. Every spirit
[1:32:15] Speaker 2: that followed you here. That might be responsible for any
[1:32:19] Speaker 2: addictions or anything keeping you back. I command now, let
[1:32:23] Speaker 2: them go. Out now. In the name of Jesus. Out
[1:32:27] Speaker 2: of their lives. For the gospel is the power of
[1:32:30] Speaker 2: God unto salvation. Release them now. In the name of Jesus.
[1:32:35] Speaker 2: Every generational curse. Every yoke that sat upon those who
[1:32:39] Speaker 2: went ahead of them. And wants to manipulate them into
[1:32:42] Speaker 2: a life of failure. Satan you heard their confession. Therefore
[1:32:46] Speaker 2: by the blood of the eternal covenant. Release them now.
[1:32:50] Speaker 2: In the name of Jesus. For the Bible says. He
[1:32:52] Speaker 2: who the son sets free. Is free indeed. I declare
[1:32:57] Speaker 2: your liberty. You are free indeed. In the name of
[1:33:00] Speaker 2: Jesus Christ. This life.
[1:33:07] Speaker 1: This life that I have is the life of Christ
[1:33:11] Speaker 1: in me.
[1:33:12] Speaker 8: This life that I have is the life of God.
[1:33:20] Speaker 8: This life that I have is the life of Christ
[1:33:26] Speaker 8: in me.
[1:33:27] Speaker 3: This life that I.
[1:33:30] Speaker 4: Have is the life of God.
[1:33:35] Speaker 2: So when That's what you just received. The indestructible life
[1:33:43] Speaker 2: of God. Thank you very much for making this bold decision.
[1:33:53] Speaker 2: Here's what I want you to do. The service is
[1:33:56] Speaker 2: still ongoing, but please lend me two or three minutes
[1:33:59] Speaker 2: of your time. I want you to please move to
[1:34:01] Speaker 2: my right. You see the counselors waving the placard. All
[1:34:04] Speaker 2: of you in concert as we clap and celebrate you.
[1:34:07] Speaker 2: Please be mindful of the.
[1:34:12] Speaker 2: They will have a word with you very quickly and
[1:34:15] Speaker 2: you'll be back. Let's celebrate them as they go. Is
[1:34:17] Speaker 2: this the best you can do?
[1:34:18] Speaker 3: Hallelujah.
[1:34:29] Speaker 2: Hallelujah. Ladies and gentlemen, you are witnessing the power of
[1:34:33] Speaker 2: the gospel when it is articulately communicated and backed up
[1:34:38] Speaker 2: by the power of God. It is not like people
[1:34:40] Speaker 2: are so rebellious. It is that most times we are
[1:34:43] Speaker 2: not taking time to preach the gospel because we ourselves
[1:34:46] Speaker 2: do not understand what Jesus did. Do you know a
[1:34:49] Speaker 2: preacher can be ministry for many years and yet not
[1:34:52] Speaker 2: study what redemption is all about? I submit to you
[1:34:56] Speaker 2: without sounding arrogant. There are many preachers, if we are
[1:34:59] Speaker 2: called to line up and say, give us a rundown
[1:35:02] Speaker 2: in points from point one, the whole discourse of salvation.
[1:35:06] Speaker 2: You will be surprised how many of us preach in
[1:35:09] Speaker 2: conferences and shout, I'm Apostle Joshua Selman, and yet cannot
[1:35:13] Speaker 2: articulate the gospel. It's like a doctor that does not
[1:35:17] Speaker 2: understand the human body. It's like a doctor who is
[1:35:19] Speaker 2: practicing and does not even know how to give an injection.
[1:35:23] Speaker 2: These are the basics. How did you get there in
[1:35:26] Speaker 2: the first place? So if you're a man of God here,
[1:35:29] Speaker 2: please listen to me. I submit to you and I'm
[1:35:31] Speaker 2: saying it because I love you. And it's time for
[1:35:34] Speaker 2: the body of Christ to mature. Leave the issue of
[1:35:37] Speaker 2: study of Greek and Hebrew, nine ways to do this.
[1:35:39] Speaker 2: Go and study salvation. What has Jesus done? Understand it first.
[1:35:45] Speaker 2: You only teach and mature people who are saved. Don't
[1:35:50] Speaker 2: waste your time trying to teach and getting into deeper
[1:35:54] Speaker 2: spiritual things over people who have not even encountered Jesus.
[1:36:03] Speaker 2: I'm still on number one. Don't forget. And we must
[1:36:06] Speaker 2: finish the six of them. Let's hurry up. Are we together?
[1:36:10] Speaker 2: So who is on the Lord's side? Number one. One
[1:36:14] Speaker 2: who has received the free gift of forgiveness and eternal
[1:36:18] Speaker 2: life through Jesus. Are you ready for number two? Who
[1:36:22] Speaker 2: is on the Lord's side? Number two. One who has
[1:36:25] Speaker 2: chosen to honor the leadership of the Holy Spirit in
[1:36:29] Speaker 2: his life. Please write it down. How do I know
[1:36:34] Speaker 2: that I am on the Lord's side? By your degree
[1:36:37] Speaker 2: of submission to the leadership of the Holy Spirit. Romans
[1:36:42] Speaker 2: chapter 8 and verse 9. Please listen to this message again.
[1:36:47] Speaker 2: Send it to someone that you know and you love.
[1:36:51] Speaker 2: It says, but ye are not in the flesh, but
[1:36:57] Speaker 2: in the spirit. If so be that the spirit of
[1:37:00] Speaker 2: God dwell in you. It says, now if any man
[1:37:03] Speaker 2: have not the spirit of Christ, help me, he is
[1:37:07] Speaker 2: none of his. That means if you do not have
[1:37:11] Speaker 2: the Spirit of Christ and if you are not submitting
[1:37:13] Speaker 2: to the leadership of the Holy Spirit. Jesus gave us
[1:37:17] Speaker 2: the Holy Spirit to guide us. Listen to my teachings
[1:37:21] Speaker 2: on the Holy Spirit. You can get them on Koinonia Global.
[1:37:24] Speaker 2: I teach essentially that the Holy Spirit has a three-fold ministry.
[1:37:28] Speaker 2: He has a ministry to creation. He has a ministry
[1:37:31] Speaker 2: to unbelievers. He has a ministry to believers. His ministry
[1:37:35] Speaker 2: to creation is that he's the life force. He is
[1:37:38] Speaker 2: the very factor that keeps everything alive, as we know.
[1:37:43] Speaker 2: Withdraw the Holy Spirit and still live the sun and
[1:37:45] Speaker 2: the air. Creation will die. Number two, his ministry to
[1:37:49] Speaker 2: unbelievers is the ministry of conviction and conversion. That he
[1:37:55] Speaker 2: convicts men of sin, of righteousness and judgment, and then...
[1:38:00] Speaker 2: He engenders the administration of salvation. His ministry to believers
[1:38:04] Speaker 2: is threefold. The ministry of activating your spiritual organs. We
[1:38:09] Speaker 2: call it being alive unto God. Then the ministry of revelation,
[1:38:15] Speaker 2: bringing you insight and illumination. Then the ministry of empowerment.
[1:38:20] Speaker 2: There are others like the ministry of guidance, you know,
[1:38:23] Speaker 2: and all of these things. Get it and listen to
[1:38:26] Speaker 2: it very carefully. Are we together? Who is on the
[1:38:31] Speaker 2: Lord's side? One who has chosen to honor the leadership
[1:38:35] Speaker 2: of the Holy Spirit. Romans chapter 8 from verse 14
[1:38:38] Speaker 2: to 17. Romans 8. Romans 8, 14 to 17. For
[1:38:45] Speaker 2: as many as are led by the Spirit of God,
[1:38:49] Speaker 2: they are what? The sons of God. Reading to 17.
[1:38:52] Speaker 2: For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again
[1:38:56] Speaker 2: to fear, but ye have received the spirit of adoption,
[1:38:59] Speaker 2: he's called, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16. The Spirit
[1:39:05] Speaker 2: itself beared witness with our spirits that we are the
[1:39:09] Speaker 2: children of God. In other words, that we are on
[1:39:11] Speaker 2: the Lord's side. And if children, then heirs, heirs of
[1:39:15] Speaker 2: God and joint heirs with Christ. If so be that
[1:39:19] Speaker 2: we suffer with him that we may also be glorified together.
[1:39:22] Speaker 2: The ministry of the Holy Spirit. Let's rush. Number three.
[1:39:26] Speaker 2: Who is on the Lord's side? One who has chosen
[1:39:30] Speaker 2: to submit, please write. One who has chosen to submit
[1:39:34] Speaker 2: to the supremacy of the word of God in all matters.
[1:39:39] Speaker 2: Who is on the Lord's side, especially in these end times?
[1:39:43] Speaker 2: One who has chosen to submit to the supremacy of
[1:39:51] Speaker 2: the word of God in all matters. The supremacy, that
[1:39:56] Speaker 2: means the word of God takes preeminence in all and
[1:40:01] Speaker 2: every matter of your life. It is one of the
[1:40:05] Speaker 2: characteristic definitions of a Christian. One who has submitted to
[1:40:10] Speaker 2: the authority, the supremacy of the word of God. That
[1:40:14] Speaker 2: what the direction of the word of God is where
[1:40:16] Speaker 2: you go. You live by the word. He said, man
[1:40:21] Speaker 2: shall not live by bread alone, but by every word
[1:40:24] Speaker 2: that proceeded from the mouth of God. submitting to the
[1:40:30] Speaker 2: supremacy of the word of God in all matters. It
[1:40:33] Speaker 2: is one of the biblical indices for even measuring spiritual maturity.
[1:40:38] Speaker 2: You are spiritually mature to the degree to which you
[1:40:40] Speaker 2: have allowed the word of God to govern your life.
[1:40:43] Speaker 2: That your life is totally under the influence of the
[1:40:47] Speaker 2: word of God. You have made up your mind to
[1:40:50] Speaker 2: walk and to live in keeping with the word of God.
[1:40:54] Speaker 2: Are we together? Number four. Are you ready for this?
[1:40:59] Speaker 2: Who is on the Lord's side? Number four, one who
[1:41:02] Speaker 2: has chosen to live a life of consecration and sacrifice.
[1:41:08] Speaker 2: Write that down. And don't assume, please, that you know
[1:41:12] Speaker 2: what I'm saying. Just write and listen. Number four, one
[1:41:15] Speaker 2: who has chosen to live a life of consecration and sacrifice.
[1:41:26] Speaker 2: second corinthians chapter 6 from verse 14 to 18. he
[1:41:33] Speaker 2: says be ye not on equally yoked together with unbelievers
[1:41:37] Speaker 2: for what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness and what communion
[1:41:42] Speaker 2: has light with darkness uh-huh we're reading to 18. And
[1:41:48] Speaker 2: what concord has Christ with Belial? And what part has
[1:41:51] Speaker 2: he that believeth with an infidel? Sixteen. And what agreement
[1:41:55] Speaker 2: hath the temple of God with idols? For ye are
[1:41:58] Speaker 2: the temple of the living God. And as God hath said,
[1:42:01] Speaker 2: I will dwell in them and walk in them. And
[1:42:04] Speaker 2: I will be their God and they shall be my people. Seventeen. Wherefore,
[1:42:09] Speaker 2: it says, come out from among them. This is the
[1:42:11] Speaker 2: definition of consecration. Come out from among them and be
[1:42:16] Speaker 2: ye separate. Not be ye critical. Not be ye sarcastic.
[1:42:21] Speaker 2: Come out from among them and be ye separate, saith
[1:42:24] Speaker 2: the Lord. And touch not the unclean thing and I
[1:42:26] Speaker 2: will receive you, verse 18. It says, and I will
[1:42:29] Speaker 2: be a father unto you and you shall be my
[1:42:32] Speaker 2: sons and my daughters, saith the Lord God Almighty. Please
[1:42:36] Speaker 2: look up. For many believers, the idea of consecration is
[1:42:42] Speaker 2: only to come out of a life of sin. And
[1:42:45] Speaker 2: that is very important. But I have taught you that
[1:42:48] Speaker 2: consecration is beyond the issue of sin. There are many
[1:42:53] Speaker 2: good things. Look up this. If you walk with God,
[1:42:56] Speaker 2: there are many things that are not sinful and evil
[1:42:59] Speaker 2: that you will still need to come out of. Are
[1:43:02] Speaker 2: we together now? Consecration is not just a matter of
[1:43:05] Speaker 2: what is bad or sinful. No. There are many things.
[1:43:10] Speaker 2: It is the constraining power to be able to honor
[1:43:15] Speaker 2: and keep your call, your mantle, your mandate. So there
[1:43:19] Speaker 2: are many people who are not sinful, but they are
[1:43:21] Speaker 2: not consecrated. Let me tell you the truth. One of
[1:43:25] Speaker 2: the characteristic features of consecration is that you cannot say
[1:43:29] Speaker 2: yes to everything. And including good things. This is what
[1:43:33] Speaker 2: many people don't like. Evil things, fine. That's fine. But
[1:43:37] Speaker 2: there are many things. It says all things are lawful.
[1:43:41] Speaker 2: But not all things are expedient. I hope you like
[1:43:43] Speaker 2: what I'm teaching. Let me show you two more scriptures.
[1:43:50] Speaker 2: Who is on the Lord's side? Consecration. 1 John chapter
[1:43:53] Speaker 2: 2 from verse 15 to 17. Apostle John now, love
[1:43:58] Speaker 2: not the world. I've taught it here. It's the Greek
[1:44:01] Speaker 2: word eros. An ungodly affinity. He's not saying don't have
[1:44:08] Speaker 2: money or don't have material possession. People have erroneously thought
[1:44:12] Speaker 2: that that's what he was saying. No, no, not at all.
[1:44:15] Speaker 2: Neither the things that are in the world. Look up please.
[1:44:18] Speaker 2: If any man loves the world, he says the love
[1:44:21] Speaker 2: of the father is not in him. What are the things?
[1:44:24] Speaker 2: He categorizes everything in the world into three. One, the
[1:44:29] Speaker 2: lust of the flesh. Two, the lust of the eyes. Three,
[1:44:32] Speaker 2: the pride of life. He says it's not of the father,
[1:44:35] Speaker 2: but it's of the world. 17. He says, give us
[1:44:39] Speaker 2: 17 please. And the world passed set away. And the
[1:44:46] Speaker 2: loss thereof, he says, but he that doeth the will
[1:44:49] Speaker 2: of God abided forever. Please look up. How do I
[1:44:53] Speaker 2: know that I am on the Lord's side? If it
[1:44:56] Speaker 2: is the God of the Bible you are walking with.
[1:44:59] Speaker 2: As you begin to walk with God and the more
[1:45:01] Speaker 2: you rise, there are certain constraints that God will start
[1:45:05] Speaker 2: putting in your life. Some of them may not be
[1:45:08] Speaker 2: general constraints. I'm explaining to you the full extent of
[1:45:13] Speaker 2: what it means to be consecrated. Can I tell you,
[1:45:15] Speaker 2: especially if you're a minister, I want you to listen here.
[1:45:19] Speaker 2: Every call and every anointing has a consecration that protects it.
[1:45:24] Speaker 2: If you are Samson, beware of your hair. If you
[1:45:28] Speaker 2: are Elijah, beware of your prayer life. Are we together now?
[1:45:32] Speaker 2: It's not just enough to say I want a double portion.
[1:45:36] Speaker 2: If you receive a man's anointing and do not study
[1:45:39] Speaker 2: the consecration to keep it, you will lose it. You
[1:45:42] Speaker 2: will lose it for sure. God can become so meticulous
[1:45:48] Speaker 2: about your life that he will even put certain constraints
[1:45:52] Speaker 2: in your life. It may not be a general rule
[1:45:54] Speaker 2: for everybody. For instance, do you know because of the
[1:45:58] Speaker 2: nature of your work, the nature of your call, and
[1:46:01] Speaker 2: the dealings of God with you, God can give you
[1:46:04] Speaker 2: an instruction and say for you and your wife, You
[1:46:07] Speaker 2: shouldn't have more than two children. Now, it was the
[1:46:09] Speaker 2: same God who said be fruitful. But he has weighed
[1:46:12] Speaker 2: you from the lens of destiny. And he has seen
[1:46:15] Speaker 2: that your best position for efficiency is with two children.
[1:46:20] Speaker 2: You can choose to disobey him and have, you know,
[1:46:22] Speaker 2: whatever number. And then you will find out that that
[1:46:26] Speaker 2: act of disobedience will become a weight. So the Bible says,
[1:46:32] Speaker 2: seeing then that we are surrounded by so great a
[1:46:35] Speaker 2: cloud of witnesses. It says, let us lay aside two things.
[1:46:38] Speaker 2: Number one, every weight. Then number two, the sin. Number one,
[1:46:43] Speaker 2: every weight. Number two, the sin. Most believers focus on
[1:46:47] Speaker 2: the sin part and they don't focus on the weight part.
[1:46:51] Speaker 2: That's why you see, if you are really working with God,
[1:46:54] Speaker 2: please let me have your attention. Do you know why
[1:46:57] Speaker 2: God will often ask you to make ridiculous sacrifices as
[1:47:01] Speaker 2: you walk with him? It's not that God wants the
[1:47:04] Speaker 2: money or the car. Why would God sit down and say,
[1:47:07] Speaker 2: empty your bank account? What does he want to do
[1:47:09] Speaker 2: with the money? There is something he is doing to you.
[1:47:12] Speaker 2: He is breaking that hold. He can bring back the money.
[1:47:17] Speaker 2: Why will he call Abraham and say, sacrifice Isaac? Why
[1:47:21] Speaker 2: didn't he just say, look Abraham, I want you to
[1:47:23] Speaker 2: be serious with me?
[1:47:24] Speaker 3: No.
[1:47:24] Speaker 7: No.
[1:47:26] Speaker 2: I do not know one man who is mightily used
[1:47:30] Speaker 2: by God, who did not go through the school of
[1:47:33] Speaker 2: consecration and sacrifice. I cannot begin to tell you the
[1:47:37] Speaker 2: things I have laid down for this God. There are
[1:47:41] Speaker 2: some of you, if it's the issue of sin, with speed,
[1:47:44] Speaker 2: oh I love you Lord Jesus. But the moment he
[1:47:46] Speaker 2: begins to make a demand, that salary as he just entered,
[1:47:50] Speaker 2: Give it to me. I rebuke that wicked spirit that
[1:47:53] Speaker 2: wants me to suffer in this month of May. And
[1:47:58] Speaker 2: God says, you see, sacrifice. A time will come in
[1:48:06] Speaker 2: the realm of the spirit where the only access code
[1:48:10] Speaker 2: to a new dimension is sacrifice. Blood dripping on your altar.
[1:48:15] Speaker 2: I know you may not like what you are hearing,
[1:48:17] Speaker 2: but I love you too much to not tell you
[1:48:19] Speaker 2: the truth. Since people admire power people admire all kinds
[1:48:25] Speaker 2: when they see God walking with people at certain dimensions
[1:48:29] Speaker 2: no you want a life of miracles signs and wonders
[1:48:35] Speaker 2: it's not just about reading scripture and saying I believe
[1:48:37] Speaker 2: no try it it won't work And he says, sacrifice.
[1:48:47] Speaker 7: Let the fire from your altar touch mine. Let the
[1:48:55] Speaker 7: fire from your altar touch mine. Let the fire from
[1:49:05] Speaker 7: your altar touch mine.
[1:49:09] Speaker 2: That's what it takes to be on the Lord's side.
[1:49:11] Speaker 6: Oh, speak from the heavens and the earth will hear. Oh,
[1:49:20] Speaker 6: speak from the heavens and I'll hear from the earth.
[1:49:27] Speaker 1: My sacrifice is calling you.
[1:49:34] Speaker 2: Oh, my sacrifice is calling you. Can I tell you
[1:49:44] Speaker 2: what it means to be consecrated? To get to a
[1:49:47] Speaker 2: point where there is nothing in your life you cannot
[1:49:51] Speaker 2: give up for God. And until you get to that realm,
[1:49:54] Speaker 2: I submit to you, there are certain levels of business
[1:49:57] Speaker 2: you cannot do with God. This is not about impartation
[1:50:03] Speaker 2: or just I believe.
[1:50:05] Speaker 3: No.
[1:50:05] Speaker 2: You've heard me. The prize for all of God is
[1:50:09] Speaker 2: all of you. All of you. Apostle, I'm a man
[1:50:15] Speaker 2: of God. I want the Lord to give me the
[1:50:17] Speaker 2: keys of nations. When Peter and James met, you know,
[1:50:23] Speaker 2: their mother met Jesus and said, Grant that when you
[1:50:28] Speaker 2: have restored all things, my sons will sit down at
[1:50:30] Speaker 2: your left and right. He said, the space is available,
[1:50:33] Speaker 2: but can you drink of my cup and be baptized
[1:50:38] Speaker 2: with my baptism? Who is on the Lord's side? The
[1:50:51] Speaker 2: person who makes up his mind that whatever it will take.
[1:50:56] Speaker 2: If I will lose myself and my ego and my
[1:50:58] Speaker 2: honor for him, so be it. If I will lose
[1:51:04] Speaker 2: my reputation for his majesty, so be it. If all
[1:51:08] Speaker 2: my crowns and my achievements fall like daggone before the
[1:51:12] Speaker 2: ark for his sake, so be it. I'm teaching you
[1:51:16] Speaker 2: authentic Bible consecration. Now, let me tell you one truth.
[1:51:21] Speaker 2: God is not interested in anything you own. He's interested
[1:51:25] Speaker 2: in his space and his position in your life. So
[1:51:28] Speaker 2: when he touches those things, it's because he has found
[1:51:32] Speaker 2: out that those things, you have allowed those things to grow.
[1:51:37] Speaker 2: The relationship. The money. You started becoming a celebrity. And
[1:51:44] Speaker 2: celebrity mindset exalted you. You pushed God and sat on
[1:51:48] Speaker 2: the throne. So when he begins. When God says sold
[1:51:52] Speaker 2: your finances. What will he do with the money? He
[1:51:56] Speaker 2: said if I need something. He said you will come
[1:51:59] Speaker 2: and ask to give me. Please hear me. I'm saying
[1:52:01] Speaker 2: this because some of you are in a season of
[1:52:04] Speaker 2: pruning and dealing. It looked like everything God is tripping
[1:52:09] Speaker 2: you naked. And you are saying, God, is it that
[1:52:11] Speaker 2: you want to disgrace me? I'm explaining to you what
[1:52:14] Speaker 2: he's doing. He's bringing you to the Lord's side. Who
[1:52:21] Speaker 2: is on the Lord's side? One who has died truly
[1:52:25] Speaker 2: to himself. That you can hold a billion naira. And
[1:52:29] Speaker 2: God says, give it for me. And you say, your majesty,
[1:52:33] Speaker 2: if it is for you, I lay it down. You'll
[1:52:36] Speaker 2: get to a point where absolutely nothing can take his place.
[1:52:41] Speaker 2: That is the realm you will see wealth that you
[1:52:43] Speaker 2: have never seen. You will see levels of the anointing
[1:52:46] Speaker 2: that you cannot be able to explain. Let me tell you,
[1:52:49] Speaker 2: for as long as you are still using God to
[1:52:52] Speaker 2: build an empire, for as long as you are still
[1:52:54] Speaker 2: using God to build church, as long as you are
[1:52:57] Speaker 2: still using the name of Jesus like a bride to
[1:53:00] Speaker 2: build a reputation for yourself, I submit to you, And
[1:53:04] Speaker 2: trust me, I know what I'm saying. You see what
[1:53:09] Speaker 2: the Lord did across in Manchester? I know that people
[1:53:12] Speaker 2: will see these things and say, wow, it's just the
[1:53:14] Speaker 2: grace of God. I agree. But from a standpoint of consecration,
[1:53:18] Speaker 2: don't downplay what consecration can do. You will use formulas
[1:53:23] Speaker 2: and it will not work. But when you die, he
[1:53:27] Speaker 2: comes to resurrect you by himself. So that anything he
[1:53:30] Speaker 2: gives you is his own. You've heard me teach you
[1:53:34] Speaker 2: that the reason why you put your money in the
[1:53:36] Speaker 2: bank is not because you know the bank manager. In fact,
[1:53:40] Speaker 2: it's not even because you like the bank. You put
[1:53:42] Speaker 2: your money in the bank because the day you need it,
[1:53:45] Speaker 2: they can give you. Am I right on that? The
[1:53:47] Speaker 2: day you go to the bank and say, give me
[1:53:50] Speaker 2: my one million and they tell you stories. You will
[1:53:53] Speaker 2: report them. This is what causes banks to go down.
[1:53:56] Speaker 2: That there are so many customers who want to withdraw
[1:53:59] Speaker 2: their monies and it looks like for whatever reason they
[1:54:01] Speaker 2: cannot give them. If you place one billion in the bank,
[1:54:05] Speaker 2: you are happy. If somebody transfers money, he did not
[1:54:08] Speaker 2: put it in your pocket, but he sent it to
[1:54:10] Speaker 2: an account that the bank gave you and you are happy.
[1:54:13] Speaker 2: You start rejoicing. I've gotten money. Is the bank your own?
[1:54:17] Speaker 2: But it's because you know the ease of withdrawal was
[1:54:21] Speaker 2: where your confidence came from. That's the same thing with God.
[1:54:24] Speaker 2: The moment everything he has that he gives you remains
[1:54:29] Speaker 2: his own inexperience. Ladies and gentlemen, you will lay up
[1:54:32] Speaker 2: gold as dust. Trust me. There are many of you
[1:54:41] Speaker 2: who have tried this prosperity thing and it's not working.
[1:54:44] Speaker 2: Sometimes you need to just close those books and lie
[1:54:47] Speaker 2: down on the ground. It's not just by, no. Wealth
[1:54:52] Speaker 2: in this kingdom is a trust. It's not an achievement.
[1:54:56] Speaker 2: Other people can say, I achieved this. But there are people,
[1:55:00] Speaker 2: he gave unto some, five. He gave unto some, two.
[1:55:08] Speaker 2: Is somebody listening to me? consecration who is on the
[1:55:14] Speaker 2: lord's side the one who can say my life is
[1:55:17] Speaker 2: not my own to you i belong.
[1:55:23] Speaker 1: I give myself i give myself to you.
[1:55:29] Speaker 2: And mean what you are saying my life is not
[1:55:32] Speaker 2: my own that means your ministry too That means the
[1:55:36] Speaker 2: children too. That means the house and cars. When you
[1:55:40] Speaker 2: say my life. You can't say my spirit is not
[1:55:44] Speaker 2: my own. But my bank account is my own. My
[1:55:47] Speaker 2: life means everything in my life.
[1:55:49] Speaker 4: This language of my thing.
[1:56:05] Speaker 2: My business. My money. If you mean that in terms
[1:56:09] Speaker 2: of administration and all of that, I understand. But in
[1:56:12] Speaker 2: terms of ownership, it's the mistake of the rich fool.
[1:56:15] Speaker 2: Get my teaching, the rich young ruler. A clarion call
[1:56:19] Speaker 2: for this generation. Who is on the Lord's side? One
[1:56:31] Speaker 2: who has decided... That everything I have. Belongs to him.
[1:56:41] Speaker 2: That what he wants. Is what I do. Have your
[1:56:47] Speaker 2: way Lord. Have your way. Have your way Lord. Don't
[1:56:54] Speaker 2: sing it if you don't believe it. Have your way Lord.
[1:57:02] Speaker 4: Have your way.
[1:57:11] Speaker 2: The people you admire today that we call fathers that
[1:57:14] Speaker 2: are being used, these were the songs that they sang
[1:57:16] Speaker 2: when they had nothing. They rolled on the floor shouting
[1:57:19] Speaker 2: that song and they meant it. Kumbaya, my Lord, kumbaya.
[1:57:27] Speaker 1: Kumbaya, my Lord, kumbaya. Kumbaya my Lord. Kumbaya.
[1:57:40] Speaker 3: Oh Lord.
[1:57:47] Speaker 2: What is the meaning of this point? That for every
[1:57:50] Speaker 2: time you walk with God. You have an assignment to search.
[1:57:54] Speaker 2: Whether there is an idol growing in your heart. You
[1:57:57] Speaker 2: don't have to be evil. You can give birth to children.
[1:58:03] Speaker 2: And all of a sudden that child can become an idol.
[1:58:06] Speaker 2: You can get married and that marriage becomes an idol.
[1:58:10] Speaker 2: You can win some kind of contract. Five billion. Ten billion.
[1:58:18] Speaker 2: And that's the end of it. You and God. God
[1:58:22] Speaker 2: I will come back to your side when I finish
[1:58:24] Speaker 2: the contract. And for us men of God. By the
[1:58:32] Speaker 2: time God begins to lift you, listen to my message
[1:58:35] Speaker 2: at the conference. I taught that there's something called the
[1:58:37] Speaker 2: human cycle. Every time there is abundance and increase and rest,
[1:58:43] Speaker 2: men usually become careless and complacent. Then they go down
[1:58:47] Speaker 2: to a state of slumber and decadence as a natural
[1:58:51] Speaker 2: result of comfort. And then in that point, they forget God.
[1:58:56] Speaker 2: And usually they are consequently given to the hands of
[1:58:59] Speaker 2: their enemies. And then in the midst of their pain,
[1:59:02] Speaker 2: their languishing, they now begin to call upon the God
[1:59:06] Speaker 2: of heaven. He will usually send a prophet to warn
[1:59:08] Speaker 2: them and say, you have left your way with me.
[1:59:12] Speaker 2: And they will repent with brokenness and genuine repentance. And
[1:59:16] Speaker 2: then he will bring them redemption. Then they get back
[1:59:20] Speaker 2: to abundance. Then the cycle continues. Every time God is
[1:59:25] Speaker 2: lifting you, be careful. Because you are already at the
[1:59:28] Speaker 2: corridors of falling. The higher you rise, the easier it
[1:59:32] Speaker 2: is to fall. Because at that point, what is there now?
[1:59:37] Speaker 2: I'm a big man. I'm a big woman. I have
[1:59:39] Speaker 2: my estates. Millionaire. My name is known all over. I
[1:59:46] Speaker 2: hope God is speaking to us. Number five. Who is
[1:59:54] Speaker 2: on the Lord's side? Can I continue? One who has
[2:00:07] Speaker 2: chosen to be an active part of God's kingdom advancement agenda.
[2:00:17] Speaker 2: One who has chosen To be an active part of
[2:00:22] Speaker 2: God's kingdom advancement slash end time agenda. You can write
[2:00:27] Speaker 2: it there. One who has chosen to be a part
[2:00:31] Speaker 2: of God's kingdom advancement slash end time agenda. Isaiah chapter
[2:00:39] Speaker 2: 6 and verse 8. One who has chosen to be
[2:00:42] Speaker 2: a part of God's end time agenda. This was.
[2:00:47] Speaker 2: Isaiah the prophet going through his dealings with God. And
[2:00:51] Speaker 2: he said, also I heard the voice of the Lord saying,
[2:00:55] Speaker 2: whom shall I send and who shall go for us?
[2:00:59] Speaker 2: Then Isaiah said, here am I, send me. We use
[2:01:04] Speaker 2: this for missionaries. When we are looking for people to
[2:01:06] Speaker 2: go to the mission field or to go to villages.
[2:01:09] Speaker 2: It's not about missionaries alone. He's saying, which vessel? Because
[2:01:15] Speaker 2: I am God, but I need human vessels who will
[2:01:18] Speaker 2: avail themselves for my purposes to come to pass. And
[2:01:22] Speaker 2: maybe I should just digress for a minute or two
[2:01:25] Speaker 2: and teach you that the agenda of God, I have
[2:01:27] Speaker 2: taught you this. When we talk about the project Kingdom
[2:01:31] Speaker 2: Come or what we call Kingdom Advancement, can I define
[2:01:34] Speaker 2: it for you? Kingdom Advancement is refers to listen before
[2:01:38] Speaker 2: you write kingdom advancement refers to every uh and any
[2:01:44] Speaker 2: scriptural mechanism that is deployed to enthrone christ and his
[2:01:51] Speaker 2: purposes first in the hearts of men then across every
[2:01:55] Speaker 2: strata of human activities this is what we call kingdom
[2:01:58] Speaker 2: advance so when you say you are advancing the kingdom
[2:02:01] Speaker 2: it doesn't just mean you are preaching or it doesn't
[2:02:03] Speaker 2: just mean you are giving money to church It is
[2:02:06] Speaker 2: that every scriptural mechanism that can be deployed that ultimately
[2:02:11] Speaker 2: leads to the enthroning of Christ in the hearts of men.
[2:02:14] Speaker 2: Are we together now? And then seeing that Christ is
[2:02:18] Speaker 2: enthroned across the strata of human activities. And to achieve that,
[2:02:23] Speaker 2: God decided to make kingdom advance, which is the same
[2:02:26] Speaker 2: thing with his end time agenda. The program is threefold.
[2:02:32] Speaker 2: Number one. The first dimension of that kingdom agenda that
[2:02:38] Speaker 2: you see is world evangelization. That means saving the lost.
[2:02:44] Speaker 2: That is the first dimension. It is in order of
[2:02:48] Speaker 2: priority the most important, but it's not the only program.
[2:02:52] Speaker 2: So world evangelization number two is the equipping of the saints.
[2:02:59] Speaker 2: This is the second program. Because the church is God's
[2:03:01] Speaker 2: battle act. The equipping of the saints. Then number three,
[2:03:06] Speaker 2: the transformation of society. Are you seeing it now? So,
[2:03:11] Speaker 2: world evangelization. The equipping of the saints. Then the saints
[2:03:16] Speaker 2: that are now equipped and empowered start transforming society. That's
[2:03:20] Speaker 2: where we talk of the seven mountains now. The mountain
[2:03:24] Speaker 2: of religion. The mountain of family. The mountain of education.
[2:03:28] Speaker 2: The mountain of arts and entertainment. The mountain of media.
[2:03:32] Speaker 2: The mountain of what else again? Finance. All those mountains.
[2:03:36] Speaker 2: People who are sent. As sheep among wolves. So you
[2:03:40] Speaker 2: talk of the professionals. The architects. You talk of the
[2:03:43] Speaker 2: doctors and lawyers. The politicians. All the witnesses generally. But
[2:03:50] Speaker 2: in order of priority. Society is at the mercy of
[2:03:53] Speaker 2: the transformation of the church. So the believer. World evangelization.
[2:03:59] Speaker 2: Unbelievers become believers. Discipleship. And equipping the saints now turn
[2:04:05] Speaker 2: new believers into matured believers. People who are of stature
[2:04:10] Speaker 2: and stamina who are empowered. They are now sent equipped
[2:04:14] Speaker 2: with understanding. And they penetrate systems and structures. And they
[2:04:20] Speaker 2: enthrone the purposes of Christ. Maybe I should say a
[2:04:24] Speaker 2: word or two about the concept of what we have
[2:04:27] Speaker 2: come to know in the body of Christ. And I'm
[2:04:29] Speaker 2: being respectful about this. But I think it's good that
[2:04:33] Speaker 2: since I'm speaking on this point of Kingdom Advance, I
[2:04:35] Speaker 2: understand a bit on this point. And I submit to
[2:04:38] Speaker 2: you that I think many preachers really do not understand
[2:04:41] Speaker 2: the full import of what we call God's end time agenda.
[2:04:45] Speaker 2: We have all kinds of ideas. And one of the
[2:04:47] Speaker 2: most popular ideas is the concept of takeover. Maybe I
[2:04:52] Speaker 2: should say a word about that. I've heard it being used,
[2:04:56] Speaker 2: sincerely so, and there are people who know what they're saying.
[2:05:00] Speaker 2: But listen to me, believers. When we talk about the
[2:05:04] Speaker 2: idea of taking over systems and structures, let me tell
[2:05:08] Speaker 2: you what we mean and let me tell you what
[2:05:10] Speaker 2: we do not mean. We do not mean magically that
[2:05:14] Speaker 2: from a physical standpoint that one day... You know, the West,
[2:05:19] Speaker 2: the developed first world nation will suddenly, you know, Africa
[2:05:23] Speaker 2: will magically just become like that. When we talk about takeover,
[2:05:27] Speaker 2: it's a spiritual language. Listen, as far as territorial transformation
[2:05:32] Speaker 2: is concerned, there are two things that God is interested in.
[2:05:36] Speaker 2: Number one, the spirits of men. Second, their minds. Are
[2:05:41] Speaker 2: we together now? The physical manifestation is a natural resultant
[2:05:45] Speaker 2: effect of that. So when we are talking about taking over,
[2:05:49] Speaker 2: we are not just talking about building industries alone and
[2:05:53] Speaker 2: building houses and, you know, making Nigeria a modern Dubai. No, no, no, no, no.
[2:05:58] Speaker 2: That is quite a mundane approach. The idea is the
[2:06:02] Speaker 2: health of the spirits of men, then causing them to
[2:06:06] Speaker 2: now sustain superior beliefs. Because the God of this world
[2:06:10] Speaker 2: has an assignment to blind the minds of the people.
[2:06:15] Speaker 2: Are we together now? I hope you know Jesus is
[2:06:17] Speaker 2: coming soon. I doubt that we are going to live perhaps,
[2:06:22] Speaker 2: but I doubt that we are going to live maybe
[2:06:25] Speaker 2: for the next 50 years or so. I really doubt
[2:06:27] Speaker 2: with the unfolding of events or I'm not prophesying. And
[2:06:32] Speaker 2: this is not a doctrine. It's just a discussion with
[2:06:34] Speaker 2: my people. Are we together now? If you are together,
[2:06:47] Speaker 2: say amen. I really doubt. Because following the prophetic signposts
[2:06:55] Speaker 2: that were given to us in scripture. We are already
[2:06:58] Speaker 2: at the last phase of everything. That is the truth.
[2:07:01] Speaker 2: This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached as a witness.
[2:07:06] Speaker 2: What happened in UK, what is happening across the globe
[2:07:09] Speaker 2: is a testament that we are nearing the end of
[2:07:12] Speaker 2: the end. Do you believe what you are hearing? And
[2:07:22] Speaker 2: there are many of us here The idea we have
[2:07:25] Speaker 2: is that God just brought you through your parents, and
[2:07:29] Speaker 2: now that you're an adult, probably married with children, we
[2:07:32] Speaker 2: have no definition as to what we're doing with our lives.
[2:07:35] Speaker 2: And we feel that the only way to just bribe
[2:07:37] Speaker 2: God to feel we still remember him is to come
[2:07:39] Speaker 2: to church. But there is nothing pro-kingdom in our lives.
[2:07:43] Speaker 2: The entire circumference of our lives is about the pursuit
[2:07:47] Speaker 2: of money and the pursuit of whatever it is. I
[2:07:50] Speaker 2: recommend for such people my teaching, What Seekest Thou? Please
[2:07:54] Speaker 2: write it and look for it. You'll find it on
[2:07:56] Speaker 2: Koinonia Global. And listen to it very carefully. There I
[2:07:59] Speaker 2: teach on the concept of true fulfillment. And we examine
[2:08:03] Speaker 2: a few things that in our wild quest, as we
[2:08:06] Speaker 2: wake up in the morning and sleep late in the night,
[2:08:09] Speaker 2: sadly for many only to eat the bread of sorrow,
[2:08:12] Speaker 2: that there are so many things we are looking for.
[2:08:14] Speaker 3: Listen. Listen.
[2:08:15] Speaker 2: There are exact activities on earth that an individual must
[2:08:21] Speaker 2: be engaged in to find fulfillment. Endless quest for financial
[2:08:28] Speaker 2: resources was never supposed to be God's design for man.
[2:08:32] Speaker 2: That is, and I say this respectfully speaking, it cannot
[2:08:37] Speaker 2: be God's idea that the moment you become an adult,
[2:08:40] Speaker 2: for the rest of your life, as long as you breathe,
[2:08:43] Speaker 2: you're looking for money. And then I look for money,
[2:08:46] Speaker 2: then build a house, then finally just find out to
[2:08:49] Speaker 2: my surprise that I am old. And then in regret
[2:08:55] Speaker 2: and anger, And now begin to do all kinds of
[2:08:58] Speaker 2: things and then you pass on. That does not look
[2:09:00] Speaker 2: like an intelligent God's idea. God's idea is that we
[2:09:11] Speaker 2: know him. Access through the keys of the kingdom. The
[2:09:14] Speaker 2: resources that make us to live excelling lives. Then they
[2:09:18] Speaker 2: now grant us the comfort to face the matter of
[2:09:21] Speaker 2: the kingdom. You do not have to be a preacher anymore.
[2:09:26] Speaker 2: This is not about preachers. Listen to my message, Redefining
[2:09:30] Speaker 2: the Coming Reviver. Every one of us has a role
[2:09:33] Speaker 2: to play. What you call your purpose is simply the
[2:09:37] Speaker 2: role you have to play in that big picture. And
[2:09:42] Speaker 2: you will never find true fulfillment until you find it. Lo,
[2:09:45] Speaker 2: I come in the volume of the book. It is
[2:09:49] Speaker 2: written concerning me. For some of you, your singular assignment
[2:09:53] Speaker 2: on earth is that God will lift you. You will
[2:09:55] Speaker 2: become so powerful financially and make significant contributions towards kingdom come.
[2:10:01] Speaker 2: Your first assignment, if that is your mandate, is to
[2:10:05] Speaker 2: understand the economic system of the kingdom. And then engage
[2:10:08] Speaker 2: it until you become truly wealthy. And then get to work.
[2:10:13] Speaker 2: For some of you... You are sent to the fivefold, apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers.
[2:10:20] Speaker 2: Your assignment is to know God, pass through a methodical mentorship,
[2:10:25] Speaker 2: go through your dealing with God, and then begin to
[2:10:28] Speaker 2: unfold your mandates as they come. For some of you,
[2:10:32] Speaker 2: you are empowered by God to penetrate the systems and structures.
[2:10:36] Speaker 2: Maybe through your career, God wants you to rise to
[2:10:39] Speaker 2: an executive position and there use your influence alongside the
[2:10:43] Speaker 2: results that has come from your life to promote the
[2:10:47] Speaker 2: cause of the kingdom. Your own assignment there will be
[2:10:50] Speaker 2: now to excel, to go for secular knowledge and press
[2:10:54] Speaker 2: to the highest level that now grants you capacity to
[2:10:58] Speaker 2: But by all means, you must find out the role
[2:11:01] Speaker 2: that you have to play. There is absolutely nobody here
[2:11:05] Speaker 2: who does not have a part to play. And like
[2:11:08] Speaker 2: I have taught you, if you do not play your part,
[2:11:10] Speaker 2: it's like a relay. You know how a relay is?
[2:11:13] Speaker 2: When you are running, someone is waiting to collect the
[2:11:16] Speaker 2: baton and you delay another person's destiny. Imagine if our
[2:11:22] Speaker 2: father in the Lord, Baba Deboe, did not discover his
[2:11:24] Speaker 2: place in life. Hallelujah. Is God speaking to someone? Who
[2:11:34] Speaker 2: is on the Lord's side? One who has chosen to
[2:11:37] Speaker 2: be an active part of God's kingdom advancement agenda. You
[2:11:43] Speaker 2: can pray. You can win souls. You can make active
[2:11:48] Speaker 2: contributions as a financial apostle. You can excel in your
[2:11:52] Speaker 2: career to attain onto a position of influence. And use
[2:11:55] Speaker 2: your influence like Daniel. Use your influence like Joseph. Use
[2:11:59] Speaker 2: your influence like Esther. Listen. I want you to open
[2:12:05] Speaker 2: this Bible and find where it is written concerning you.
[2:12:10] Speaker 2: You will look at your life and you will find
[2:12:12] Speaker 2: a parallel place. If God has called you to be Esther,
[2:12:15] Speaker 2: find Esther and study Esther. If God has called you
[2:12:19] Speaker 2: to be John, find John. There will be a parallel
[2:12:23] Speaker 2: of your assignment in scripture. When you find it, then
[2:12:27] Speaker 2: be serious. If your assignment is Esther, make sure your
[2:12:32] Speaker 2: first preparation is to be a good woman. So that
[2:12:35] Speaker 2: when you get there, you will be able to support
[2:12:38] Speaker 2: the program of God. If your assignment is Deborah, being
[2:12:44] Speaker 2: good is not enough. You must understand the art of
[2:12:47] Speaker 2: war because you are going to be a warrior. If
[2:12:52] Speaker 2: you are Elijah, then you must master the art of
[2:12:55] Speaker 2: prayer and the prophetic. If you are Daniel and you
[2:12:59] Speaker 2: are praying alone, you are going to fail. Because what
[2:13:02] Speaker 2: will exalt you is your excellence. Your prayer will be
[2:13:05] Speaker 2: a personal affair that secures you. But what the nation
[2:13:08] Speaker 2: will recognize you for is your intelligence and your excellence.
[2:13:12] Speaker 2: An excellent spirit is what branded Daniel. Are we together?
[2:13:18] Speaker 2: Let me give us the last one so we pray.
[2:13:21] Speaker 2: Who is on the Lord's side? One who has chosen
[2:13:33] Speaker 2: to walk in humility as a lifestyle. I like this.
[2:13:37] Speaker 2: James 4, 6. Who is on the Lord's side? One
[2:13:42] Speaker 2: who has chosen to walk in humility. Let's read it together. One, two, go.
[2:13:52] Speaker 2: But he gave it more grace. Wherefore he said, God
[2:13:57] Speaker 2: resisted the proud. Look at me, ladies and gentlemen. What
[2:14:04] Speaker 2: does it mean to resist? To resist means to push away.
[2:14:08] Speaker 2: To stop from coming close or to stop from making progress.
[2:14:12] Speaker 2: The Bible says that is what will happen to any
[2:14:15] Speaker 2: man who decides to be proud. Let me give you
[2:14:18] Speaker 2: a kind counsel. The moment God begins to lift you,
[2:14:22] Speaker 2: whether financially or in business or in ministry, I want
[2:14:27] Speaker 2: you to be intentional about being and remaining humble. One
[2:14:33] Speaker 2: of the greatest ways to be and to remain on
[2:14:36] Speaker 2: the Lord's side is humility. Let this mind be in you,
[2:14:40] Speaker 2: which was also in Christ Jesus. I know that the
[2:14:45] Speaker 2: world has celebrated us over the... historic feats that you
[2:14:49] Speaker 2: know happened in in in uk and we thank god
[2:14:52] Speaker 2: for that we do not downplay that but i pray
[2:14:55] Speaker 2: for you like i pray for myself that may success
[2:14:59] Speaker 2: never enter you to a point that you forget that
[2:15:02] Speaker 2: god is a doer of this amen shout a loud
[2:15:06] Speaker 2: amen I'm praying for myself and I'm praying for our
[2:15:11] Speaker 2: global family. It's good to celebrate Jesus and he will
[2:15:14] Speaker 2: keep lifting us and doing so many things. But ladies
[2:15:18] Speaker 2: and gentlemen, humility is powerful. Humility is a retainer of honor.
[2:15:25] Speaker 2: When you practice humility, you retain your honor. Pride is
[2:15:32] Speaker 2: one of the fastest ways of losing anything God gives you. Anything.
[2:15:37] Speaker 2: I don't care what it is. There are many people
[2:15:44] Speaker 2: today who cannot be trusted with anything from God. You
[2:15:47] Speaker 2: know why? Because of this arrogance. I am a millionaire.
[2:15:52] Speaker 2: I am a billionaire. Now you can see it. My
[2:15:55] Speaker 2: houses and my cars, we say. I am a man
[2:15:57] Speaker 2: of God. Having global influence across the globe. Especially when
[2:16:01] Speaker 2: you have results to show. If you are proud and
[2:16:04] Speaker 2: you don't have results, you are a fool. That one
[2:16:06] Speaker 2: is not even pride. That's foolishness. Are we together? But
[2:16:09] Speaker 2: there is something called the pride of life. The pride
[2:16:13] Speaker 2: of life is where you have obvious results. You know,
[2:16:16] Speaker 2: you can't contest against results. Once you have your results
[2:16:20] Speaker 2: like a report card, you now have the credence to
[2:16:23] Speaker 2: be proud. But I'm praying for you again. That as
[2:16:27] Speaker 2: he lifts you, as he blesses you, as he prospers you,
[2:16:31] Speaker 2: as he announces you, may you by humility remain on
[2:16:35] Speaker 2: the Lord's side. Watch this. The greatest miracle recorded in
[2:16:43] Speaker 2: the Bible was Jesus' own resurrection from the dead. Not
[2:16:47] Speaker 2: his raising others from the dead. His own rising from
[2:16:50] Speaker 2: the dead by himself. And when Jesus rose up from
[2:16:54] Speaker 2: the dead, I mean you would think that Jesus should
[2:16:57] Speaker 2: make news and blast it and drum it to everybody's head.
[2:17:01] Speaker 2: And go to the temple where he once flogged people
[2:17:04] Speaker 2: and go everywhere. But as soon as he got up,
[2:17:06] Speaker 2: you know where he went to? straight he went to
[2:17:08] Speaker 2: the disciples, greeted them, said, touch my hands, do this
[2:17:12] Speaker 2: and that, and they got to walk. 40 more days
[2:17:16] Speaker 2: he was teaching them because he was soon to leave finally.
[2:17:22] Speaker 2: The greatest enemy of great people is their current level
[2:17:25] Speaker 2: of achievement. Now, I'm not teaching you to downplay. You see,
[2:17:29] Speaker 2: Philemon 1 and verse 6 says that the communication of
[2:17:33] Speaker 2: your faith might be effectual Philemon 1 and 6. Philemon 1, 6.
[2:17:39] Speaker 2: That the communication of your faith might be effectual through
[2:17:44] Speaker 2: the acknowledging of every good thing that is in you
[2:17:48] Speaker 2: in Christ Jesus. So it is not humility to refuse
[2:17:52] Speaker 2: to acknowledge. If God has blessed you, he has blessed you.
[2:17:56] Speaker 2: If you are doing a good job, you are doing
[2:17:57] Speaker 2: a good job. There is nothing wrong in celebrating the
[2:18:00] Speaker 2: hand of God. But humility is where all the praises
[2:18:05] Speaker 2: come to you and you lift it up and take
[2:18:08] Speaker 2: it up. All the glory belongs to you. All the
[2:18:12] Speaker 2: glory belongs to you, oh God. That's the quality of
[2:18:17] Speaker 2: true humility. All the glory belongs to you. All the
[2:18:24] Speaker 2: glory belongs to you.
[2:18:26] Speaker 3: Oh God.
[2:18:28] Speaker 2: Beyond Joshua Selman. Beyond Koinonia. All the glory belongs to you.
[2:18:35] Speaker 4: All the glory belongs to you.
[2:18:39] Speaker 3: Hallelujah.
[2:18:43] Speaker 2: So, when you receive a prophetic word here and God
[2:18:48] Speaker 2: opens a door for you, you suddenly become a multi-millionaire,
[2:18:51] Speaker 2: you become a billionaire. Remember, humility is the wisdom of
[2:18:55] Speaker 2: great men. That's what keeps them. It's what brings longevity
[2:19:00] Speaker 2: to your impact. You see, there is a natural temptation
[2:19:06] Speaker 2: to want to rub it in. Where are all those
[2:19:09] Speaker 2: who did not believe in me? Now that I'm a
[2:19:11] Speaker 2: great man, let me slap it to your face. No, no, no, no, no.
[2:19:14] Speaker 2: It's unnecessary. When Joseph became great, there was no need
[2:19:17] Speaker 2: proving any point. If you are great, ba, you are great.
[2:19:21] Speaker 2: If God has given you this thing, he has given you.
[2:19:23] Speaker 2: It's as simple as that. If you are rich, you
[2:19:26] Speaker 2: are rich. If you are poor... You can be rich,
[2:19:29] Speaker 2: but at that point, of course, you are not, I'm
[2:19:32] Speaker 2: trying to not speak negative. I'm just saying, if God
[2:19:35] Speaker 2: has given you, he has given you, it's as simple
[2:19:38] Speaker 2: as that. All this bragging and shouting and trying to
[2:19:42] Speaker 2: raise dust and build a crown to yourself. My greatest
[2:19:46] Speaker 2: joy in all the announcement, and by the way, let
[2:19:48] Speaker 2: me say thank you to all those who acknowledge what
[2:19:51] Speaker 2: Jesus did through us, published it yonder, I mean, I'm
[2:19:55] Speaker 2: not on social media, but I heard the remarkable walk.
[2:19:59] Speaker 2: My greatest joy is that Jesus was glorified through that process. Unfortunately,
[2:20:06] Speaker 2: whether you like it or not, to lift up Jesus,
[2:20:10] Speaker 2: you are the one who is first lifted. Then if
[2:20:13] Speaker 2: you are wise enough, you now lift him above you.
[2:20:16] Speaker 2: And if he sees that you lift him above you,
[2:20:18] Speaker 2: if he wants to go higher, how will he go higher?
[2:20:20] Speaker 2: By lifting you more. You see how it works. So
[2:20:24] Speaker 2: don't be surprised when you are lifted. I'm saying we
[2:20:27] Speaker 2: because remember I taught you that everything that happens is
[2:20:30] Speaker 2: not Joshua Selman. I didn't go to UK. We went
[2:20:33] Speaker 2: to UK. I didn't heal the sick. God healed the
[2:20:36] Speaker 2: sick through us. And I mean what I'm saying. Your prayers,
[2:20:45] Speaker 2: your giving, your sacrifice added to all that who is
[2:20:52] Speaker 2: on the Lord's side. one who will choose in the
[2:20:54] Speaker 2: midst of plenty and great, in the midst of glitz
[2:20:57] Speaker 2: and glamour, in the midst of a celebrity life, in
[2:21:00] Speaker 2: the midst of global recognition, to still remember to let
[2:21:04] Speaker 2: your knees touch the ground, to acknowledge that he is good.
[2:21:10] Speaker 2: For me, I've made up my mind as a principle
[2:21:13] Speaker 2: and as a covenant that for the rest of my life,
[2:21:16] Speaker 2: no matter where he leads me, no matter what he
[2:21:19] Speaker 2: does through my life, it is an honor To serve
[2:21:23] Speaker 2: his purposes. For the many people my phone was full of.
[2:21:26] Speaker 2: Some you can imagine. And for the few that I
[2:21:30] Speaker 2: could respond to. I would just tell them. It's an
[2:21:32] Speaker 2: honor and a privilege. To be used by God. Hallelujah.
[2:21:38] Speaker 2: A life of humility. A possible. We are really proud
[2:21:42] Speaker 2: in our family. Repent.
[2:21:43] Speaker 3: Repent.
[2:21:44] Speaker 2: There's no such thing as that. Take the stage Lord.
[2:21:51] Speaker 2: Have your way.
[2:21:55] Speaker 1: I'm just a vessel and nothing more.
[2:22:03] Speaker 2: When you're done, done announcing us, please.
[2:22:09] Speaker 3: Take it low.
[2:22:11] Speaker 2: I'm satisfied just.
[2:22:16] Speaker 4: To see you glorified.
[2:22:20] Speaker 2: Lay your hands on your head and cry for the
[2:22:22] Speaker 2: grace for genuine humility. Please pray. Please pray.
[2:22:29] Speaker 3: Please pray.
[2:22:37] Speaker 2: Lord, work on my tendencies. For being arrogant. It is
[2:22:43] Speaker 2: resident within me. The Lord tested you with a little result.
[2:22:49] Speaker 2: A dimension of your anointing. And arrogance will not even
[2:22:53] Speaker 2: let you grow. I want you to pray. Please pray.
[2:23:02] Speaker 2: Cry from your heart. No matter how much you lift me.
[2:23:06] Speaker 2: It will be to your glory. No matter how much
[2:23:09] Speaker 2: you give me, it will be to your glory. No
[2:23:13] Speaker 2: matter how much you announce me. Oh, let the nations
[2:23:16] Speaker 2: know that I'm only an ambassador. Let the nations know
[2:23:21] Speaker 2: that we are only products of your mercy and grace.
[2:23:24] Speaker 2: Go ahead and make that declaration.
[2:23:36] Speaker 5: Be lifted high, be lifted high. Oh Lord, be lifted high.
[2:23:53] Speaker 5: For you are holy.
[2:23:58] Speaker 2: Righteous and worthy. There's a song in my spirit. I
[2:24:11] Speaker 2: just want to say.
[2:24:13] Speaker 3: Go ahead and bless him.
[2:24:14] Speaker 4: Thank you for everything you have.
[2:24:17] Speaker 3: Done in my life. In our life.
[2:24:48] Speaker 2: Learn it. Whenever he lifts you, he lifts you so
[2:24:53] Speaker 2: that he can be seen through you. Do not forget this.
[2:24:58] Speaker 2: Whenever he lifts you, hear me, he lifts you so
[2:25:02] Speaker 2: that he can be seen through you. And don't just
[2:25:04] Speaker 2: wear religious glory to God and your life is there
[2:25:07] Speaker 2: savoring through pride. When you are genuinely humble, it shows.
[2:25:16] Speaker 2: There are many people who just say glory to God
[2:25:18] Speaker 2: just to ease the guilt of looking proud. But all around,
[2:25:22] Speaker 2: litat is the stench of pride. When you learn to
[2:25:28] Speaker 2: decrease so that you will increase, the reward you get
[2:25:32] Speaker 2: is that you are lifted higher so that you will
[2:25:35] Speaker 2: lift him higher. I told you here, you've heard me
[2:25:39] Speaker 2: and I'm speaking to a global family. Years ago, the
[2:25:42] Speaker 2: Lord spoke to me and said, son, If you will
[2:25:45] Speaker 2: let men see me, there is nothing I will not
[2:25:48] Speaker 2: give you. For every one of the days after the conference,
[2:25:54] Speaker 2: when I returned back, I just went to my room
[2:25:57] Speaker 2: and knelt down and said, Lord, your boy is here.
[2:26:01] Speaker 2: No matter what they say, let the nations clap. Thank
[2:26:04] Speaker 2: you for the miracles. But this is the one you
[2:26:07] Speaker 2: took from nothing and you have brought here. For the
[2:26:13] Speaker 2: grace that you have given me.
[2:26:20] Speaker 1: I can never repay you but from my heart I'm
[2:26:25] Speaker 1: saying Lord that I thank you For the wisdom you
[2:26:37] Speaker 1: have given us We can never repay you.
[2:26:45] Speaker 7: But from our hearts.
[2:26:47] Speaker 2: We're saying Lord.
[2:26:49] Speaker 3: That I.
[2:26:50] Speaker 4: Love you.
[2:26:57] Speaker 2: Hold the hands of someone. Close to you. Who is
[2:27:02] Speaker 2: on the Lord's side. I've given you six keys. Number one.
[2:27:11] Speaker 2: One who has genuinely submitted to the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
[2:27:15] Speaker 2: Number two, one who has submitted to the leadership of
[2:27:20] Speaker 2: the Holy Spirit to guide you. You may look foolish,
[2:27:26] Speaker 2: but like we always sing that when he holds your hands,
[2:27:29] Speaker 2: we brought our tiny little hands full of ignorance and
[2:27:34] Speaker 2: placed it over the hand of this great God. And
[2:27:37] Speaker 2: he held that small hand and watch what he is
[2:27:40] Speaker 2: doing with it. Never downplay the Holy Spirit. He will
[2:27:44] Speaker 2: take you to nations and he will not just produce wonders.
[2:27:47] Speaker 2: He will make your life an unending epistle. It is true.
[2:27:52] Speaker 2: Number three, who is on the Lord's side? one who
[2:27:56] Speaker 2: has chosen as an act of your will and by
[2:27:59] Speaker 2: understanding to submit to the supremacy of the word, that
[2:28:03] Speaker 2: the word is exalted in your life above and beyond culture,
[2:28:07] Speaker 2: above and beyond status, above and beyond whatever it is,
[2:28:11] Speaker 2: your sociological context. The word of God has gained ascendance
[2:28:16] Speaker 2: and supremacy. Your mind has become renewed and transformed even
[2:28:21] Speaker 2: by the word. Who is on the Lord's side? Four.
[2:28:25] Speaker 2: One who has made up his mind to live a
[2:28:28] Speaker 2: consecrated life and a life of sacrifice. A life that
[2:28:33] Speaker 2: gives everything to him. Number six. Number five. Who is
[2:28:38] Speaker 2: on the Lord's side? The fifth person who is on
[2:28:42] Speaker 2: the Lord's side is one who has made up his mind.
[2:28:46] Speaker 2: What's number five again? One who has made up his
[2:28:50] Speaker 2: mind to be an active part of God's program. That
[2:28:54] Speaker 2: for as long as I live, the kingdom must find
[2:28:57] Speaker 2: expression through me. As God is looking for men, there
[2:29:00] Speaker 2: must be something that I do. If I can't preach,
[2:29:03] Speaker 2: I will pray. If I can't pray, I will give.
[2:29:06] Speaker 2: In fact, you should pray. But I will give. I
[2:29:09] Speaker 2: will use my profession. I will use my life. I
[2:29:12] Speaker 2: will use my influence. I will use my resources. I
[2:29:15] Speaker 2: will spend and be spent to see Jesus revealed to
[2:29:18] Speaker 2: the nations. And finally, who is on the Lord's side?
[2:29:24] Speaker 2: Number six, one who has chosen a choice to walk
[2:29:29] Speaker 2: in humility as a lifestyle. Humility meaning that Jesus will
[2:29:37] Speaker 2: always be seen intentionally so. As the reason behind your results.
[2:29:43] Speaker 2: That as men celebrate you. As men call you names.
[2:29:47] Speaker 2: They are free to do so. Because the glory goes
[2:29:51] Speaker 2: to the Lord. But the honor is to the saints.
[2:29:56] Speaker 2: So as he lifts you. as he empowers you, as
[2:30:00] Speaker 2: he blesses you, as he gives you visibility, please do
[2:30:04] Speaker 2: not forget this preacher's voice. You will hear it in
[2:30:07] Speaker 2: your dreams. You will hear it when you are far
[2:30:10] Speaker 2: away from me. You may be far from me, but
[2:30:12] Speaker 2: be on the Lord's side. Use the weapon of humility.
[2:30:16] Speaker 2: Don't be ashamed to get down on your knees and
[2:30:19] Speaker 2: let the world know that you have been lifted by him.
[2:30:23] Speaker 2: That you are sustained by him. They may say it's
[2:30:26] Speaker 2: out of fashion. It is fashionable to be the celebrity
[2:30:30] Speaker 2: and you tell them he has blessed me enough and
[2:30:33] Speaker 2: I'm grateful. He's kept the honor but let him take
[2:30:36] Speaker 2: the glory. Hallelujah. In one minute, I'd like you to
[2:30:40] Speaker 2: pray while holding hands. Pray these five into your life.
[2:30:45] Speaker 2: I don't know which of them you are and which
[2:30:47] Speaker 2: of them you are not. These six points I meant
[2:30:51] Speaker 2: to say, open your mouth and pray. I want to
[2:30:55] Speaker 2: be on the Lord's side. Perhaps when it has to
[2:31:00] Speaker 2: do with salvation, we can say you're on the Lord's side.
[2:31:03] Speaker 2: But when it has to do with consecration and sacrifice,
[2:31:06] Speaker 2: we may not say so for you. Perhaps when it
[2:31:09] Speaker 2: has to do with humility, we cannot say you're on
[2:31:11] Speaker 2: the Lord's side. I'd like you to use tonight's teaching
[2:31:17] Speaker 2: to close that gap. I truly desire to be on
[2:31:20] Speaker 2: the Lord's side. Now and forever. We have one minute.
[2:31:28] Speaker 2: Cry to God. On the Lord's side as a preacher.
[2:31:46] Speaker 2: On the Lord's side as a businessman. On the Lord's
[2:31:50] Speaker 2: side as a Nigerian. On the Lord's side as a
[2:31:55] Speaker 2: prestigious part of this global family.
[2:31:59] Speaker 3: Hallelujah.
[2:32:07] Speaker 2: Hallelujah. Keep your hands together. I want to pray a
[2:32:11] Speaker 2: prayer and then we're done.
[2:32:13] Speaker 1: Lord, if you're healing someone in this nation, don't do
[2:32:24] Speaker 1: it without me. Don't do it without me.
[2:32:31] Speaker 2: Lord, if you're lifting nations.
[2:32:36] Speaker 1: In this season, Don't do it without me.
[2:32:41] Speaker 4: Don't do it without me.
[2:32:45] Speaker 1: Oh Lord, give your blessing.
[2:32:52] Speaker 2: Nations in deceit.
[2:32:54] Speaker 4: Don't do it without me.
[2:33:07] Speaker 1: Wherever you want to go, Lord, you can go through me.
[2:33:19] Speaker 1: Whoever you want to lift, Lord, you can lift through me.
[2:33:31] Speaker 1: Whatever you want to say, Lord you can say through me.
[2:33:42] Speaker 10: Whoever you want to change Lord you can say through.
[2:33:53] Speaker 2: Me Father we hold our hands as a family of
[2:33:58] Speaker 2: faith and we declare that we remain ever available We
[2:34:06] Speaker 2: thank you for showing us profound mercy. You have singled
[2:34:10] Speaker 2: us out as a people and you have chosen to
[2:34:13] Speaker 2: honor us. Not just the week past, you have invested
[2:34:17] Speaker 2: your honor and your grace upon our lives. And Lord,
[2:34:21] Speaker 2: we declare, I declare on behalf of your people that
[2:34:26] Speaker 2: we have chosen to be on the Lord's side. In
[2:34:30] Speaker 2: the name of Jesus Christ. We declare that you grant
[2:34:34] Speaker 2: unto us as individuals and as a ministry longevity of impact.
[2:34:40] Speaker 2: In the name of Jesus Christ. And Lord, we pray
[2:34:44] Speaker 2: that everything that can become a distraction to our kingdom,
[2:34:48] Speaker 2: pursue it. Let it be far from us. Lord, I'm
[2:34:52] Speaker 2: praying for someone. I'm praying for a family that Maybe
[2:34:59] Speaker 2: discouraged right now. Looks like you have not seen a
[2:35:01] Speaker 2: performance of the word of God. You have celebrated as
[2:35:05] Speaker 2: a global family. But individually, you are yet to see
[2:35:11] Speaker 2: certain results. I agree with you. Because you are now
[2:35:14] Speaker 2: determined to be on the Lord's side. May the power
[2:35:17] Speaker 2: that is on the Lord's side work for you. May
[2:35:22] Speaker 2: the wisdom that is on the Lord's side work for you.
[2:35:26] Speaker 2: May the speed that is on the Lord's side work
[2:35:29] Speaker 2: for you. May the immunity that is on the Lord's
[2:35:33] Speaker 2: side work for you. May the restoration that is on
[2:35:37] Speaker 2: the Lord's side work for you. In the name of
[2:35:41] Speaker 2: Jesus Christ. This week I declare over your life. By
[2:35:46] Speaker 2: the power that raised Jesus from the dead. Return with results.
[2:35:52] Speaker 2: This will be a week of strange evidences in your life.
[2:35:57] Speaker 2: Whatever it takes to be fruitful. Whatever it takes to
[2:36:00] Speaker 2: be a worthy ambassador. I empower you with it right
[2:36:04] Speaker 2: now in Jesus name. And I rebuke the hand of
[2:36:08] Speaker 2: Satan over your life. In the name of Jesus Christ.
[2:36:15] Speaker 2: That by tomorrow even up until next week. You will
[2:36:18] Speaker 2: return with strange testimonies. I declare protection over you. I
[2:36:25] Speaker 2: declare preservation over you. I command favor upon your life.

[2:36:49] Speaker 2: yourself as a people that God has helped. In the
[2:36:52] Speaker 2: name of Jesus Christ. Wave your hands to Jesus and
[2:36:56] Speaker 2: give him praise. Give him praise. Give him praise. Give
