[0:42] Speaker 1: Good evening everybody. How was your day?
[0:46] Speaker 3: So I understand the 30th of September will be Bishop's birthday.
[0:51] Speaker 3: And since I'm not going to be around, we're going
[0:54] Speaker 3: to sing a happy birthday song for Bishop now.
[0:59] Speaker 1: Are you ready? Take it.
[1:02] Speaker 3: Is ready to sing that song happy birthday to him
[1:05] Speaker 3: so let me do my own version of the birthday
[1:08] Speaker 3: right now happy birthday to you let's go.
[1:13] Speaker 1: One more time may the good lord bless you.
[1:49] Speaker 4: Bishop thank you thank you for the blessing that you
[1:53] Speaker 4: have been not just to oji river but to the
[1:55] Speaker 4: body of christ you know he said his own part
[1:58] Speaker 4: about me I hope that soon I will say my
[2:01] Speaker 4: own part too.
[2:02] Speaker 1: Praise God. Hallelujah. Thank you for your humility.
[2:05] Speaker 3: He's been to my house and there are not many
[2:08] Speaker 3: ministers that have been to my house, but he's been
[2:10] Speaker 3: to my house. We've spent time together just speaking. He's
[2:14] Speaker 3: a very good man. During our conference, General Assembly just came,
[2:19] Speaker 3: showed up, not to preach, just to support and to
[2:23] Speaker 3: be blessed.
[2:24] Speaker 1: He truly is a very good man. I honor you.
[2:26] Speaker 1: Thank you to you and your wife. I'm truly grateful
[2:29] Speaker 1: for this opportunity. Hallelujah.
[2:32] Speaker 3: Make sure, let me encourage all of you here. Make sure,
[2:39] Speaker 3: I hope I don't embarrass Bishop, but make sure you
[2:42] Speaker 3: sow into his life and do whatever. The Bible says,
[2:46] Speaker 3: they that rule well should be counted for double honor.
[2:50] Speaker 1: Hallelujah. Good people are not everywhere. I know this.
[2:55] Speaker 3: Good people are not everywhere. So make sure you do
[2:59] Speaker 3: something in his life that just not because he's in
[3:02] Speaker 3: need of it. It's a principle of honor.
[3:05] Speaker 1: You have now, the birthday is 30th or whenever it is.
[3:09] Speaker 3: You know, 30th, yes it is. You can start your own.
[3:12] Speaker 3: You can start celebrating.
[3:13] Speaker 1: Him from today. I've started my own. Your own can
[3:15] Speaker 1: be tomorrow. Somebody can be Friday.
[3:19] Speaker 3: In fact, someone can decide to start celebrating him from
[3:22] Speaker 3: now till 2026 is over.
[3:23] Speaker 1: You are still right. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
[3:28] Speaker 3: In church you know sometimes we just celebrate people and
[3:30] Speaker 3: say God bless you. And then when it is time
[3:34] Speaker 3: for political rallies and the rest, we carry.
[3:37] Speaker 1: All kinds of seeds and rush there and go and
[3:39] Speaker 1: drop it.
[3:40] Speaker 3: And no, let the man of God be blessed because
[3:43] Speaker 3: he has served in the house of God.
[3:46] Speaker 1: Are we in agreement? Praise the name of the Lord.
[3:48] Speaker 3: So make sure that you let him know how much
[3:51] Speaker 3: you love him and how much you are grateful for
[3:55] Speaker 3: that gift of investedness.
[3:57] Speaker 1: To see that you grow spiritually.
[3:59] Speaker 3: There are many things that have happened here this week
[4:01] Speaker 3: that happen purely based on relationship.
[4:05] Speaker 1: Praise the name of the Lord. So make sure, let's
[4:08] Speaker 1: agree on that.
[4:09] Speaker 3: The next time God grants me the privilege to come back,
[4:12] Speaker 3: I will ask you what you did. Or I will
[4:14] Speaker 3: ask Madam what they did, at least how she will know.
[4:17] Speaker 3: So I will say, what did the venerables and the
[4:23] Speaker 3: pastors and all the people and the young people, what
[4:26] Speaker 3: did they do for their father in the Lord here?
[4:29] Speaker 1: Sir, the Lord honor you.
[4:30] Speaker 3: You are a man deserving of honor one more time
[4:32] Speaker 3: let's celebrate him thank.
[4:33] Speaker 1: You hallelujah.
[4:41] Speaker 3: Let me stand on the existing protocol please be seated
[4:44] Speaker 3: to celebrate truly all our fathers of faith here the
[4:48] Speaker 3: bishops the venerables and all the priests from the anglican
[4:54] Speaker 3: communion and then by extension all who labor in the
[4:57] Speaker 3: gospel across several denominations, across different Christian groups. The Lord
[5:03] Speaker 3: honor you and do you good in Jesus' name. In fact,
[5:06] Speaker 3: let me say this before I get to the word.
[5:08] Speaker 3: Can we, well-seated, clap for all the walkers, all those
[5:13] Speaker 3: who labored to get this work. Please, let's give them
[5:17] Speaker 3: a resounding round of applause. The choir, the protocol, ushers,
[5:22] Speaker 3: can we celebrate that?
[5:24] Speaker 1: Hallelujah. Thank you. You know, sometimes.
[5:28] Speaker 3: We celebrate the men of God, but we forget the
[5:31] Speaker 3: people who made it easy for the men of God
[5:34] Speaker 3: to preach. To all the workers in this ministry, in
[5:37] Speaker 3: this vision, and those who were part of the organizing team,
[5:40] Speaker 3: thank you.
[5:41] Speaker 1: The Lord bless you in Jesus' name.
[5:45] Speaker 3: It's been an interesting journey with us since yesterday. I
[5:51] Speaker 3: believe that all of the sessions that have come have
[5:54] Speaker 3: been most edifying. In fact, when I came in, I
[5:57] Speaker 3: heard his Lordship just sharing a few things, very instructive,
[6:01] Speaker 3: very powerful principles. And for the few minutes that I
[6:05] Speaker 3: listened to him, it was most edifying to me. So
[6:07] Speaker 3: I can imagine already what you have received tonight. But
[6:11] Speaker 3: let's see how God will help us for the time
[6:12] Speaker 3: that we have. I would summarize and finish the remaining
[6:17] Speaker 3: part and then hopefully we'll have some little time to
[6:20] Speaker 3: rise and then to pray and then for God to
[6:23] Speaker 3: just meet our needs within the time That we have
[6:27] Speaker 3: the Lord who grant us grace in Jesus name.
[6:29] Speaker 1: A quick recap. Yesterday we began talking on the ecclesia,
[6:33] Speaker 1: the church. And I said a few things that God
[6:37] Speaker 1: had sent me to this year's edition of this conference.
[6:40] Speaker 1: To answer four questions.
[6:42] Speaker 3: Number one, the first question was to really help answer
[6:47] Speaker 3: the question.
[6:48] Speaker 1: Of the church. To bring a redefinition about the concept
[6:51] Speaker 1: of church.
[6:52] Speaker 3: That was my first assignment. To help us understand church.
[6:56] Speaker 3: what the church is number two to help understand the
[7:00] Speaker 3: assignment of the church we touched a bit on that
[7:03] Speaker 3: yesterday night and then this morning particularly at the pastor
[7:07] Speaker 3: session we took the third area an x-ray on the
[7:11] Speaker 3: current state of the church with a view to showing
[7:15] Speaker 3: us the areas that need improvement in order for the
[7:18] Speaker 3: church to rise to become that bride of christ in
[7:21] Speaker 3: experience and for tonight i'll be showing you The principles
[7:26] Speaker 3: that can cause a church to become.
[7:28] Speaker 1: Impactful and truly apostolic by that definition. We'll be looking
[7:34] Speaker 1: at the elements that must be present in.
[7:36] Speaker 3: Every church, every assembly, and every believer in order to
[7:41] Speaker 3: be impactful. But by way of recap, I did tell
[7:45] Speaker 3: us yesterday that there are three major definitions to the church.
[7:49] Speaker 3: Number one, we looked at the church as a spiritual strategy.
[7:54] Speaker 3: We said the church is God's strategy for extending his
[7:57] Speaker 3: salvation program to the nations. We said it is God's strategy,
[8:02] Speaker 3: the church, for building and refining men. We said the
[8:06] Speaker 3: church is God's strategy for preserving truth and moral excellence.
[8:11] Speaker 3: We said the church is God's strategy for demonstrating and
[8:15] Speaker 3: revealing the love of Jesus to a dying world. The
[8:19] Speaker 3: second definition, we said the church refers to a collection
[8:23] Speaker 3: of believers.
[8:24] Speaker 1: Bound in one faith a common destiny in.
[8:28] Speaker 3: Christ it represents believers who are joined to christ by
[8:33] Speaker 3: one spirit and i did tell us that an individual
[8:36] Speaker 3: cannot be called a church an individual can be a
[8:39] Speaker 3: member of the church an effective one at that but
[8:42] Speaker 3: that the church is a collection a unified collection of
[8:47] Speaker 3: believers it's called the body of christ the third definition
[8:50] Speaker 3: i gave us yesterday is that the church is also
[8:53] Speaker 3: an institution. So beyond a strategy, beyond the people, the
[8:58] Speaker 3: church also represents an institution. Paul in 1 Timothy 3.15
[9:03] Speaker 3: calls it the pillar and the ground of truth. It's
[9:07] Speaker 3: the institution that preserves the program of God and allows
[9:11] Speaker 3: for all kinds of kingdom activities to happen within that
[9:15] Speaker 3: assembly of God's people.
[9:17] Speaker 1: Hallelujah.
[9:19] Speaker 3: We went straight to look at the assignment of the church.
[9:22] Speaker 3: And I did tell us that if we were to
[9:24] Speaker 3: truly comprehend the assignment of the church, we must consider
[9:27] Speaker 3: the concept of kingdoms. We agreed yesterday that there are
[9:31] Speaker 3: two principal kingdoms, the kingdom of darkness or the kingdom
[9:34] Speaker 3: of heaven or the kingdom of God's dear son. you know,
[9:38] Speaker 3: or the kingdom of light now versus the kingdom of darkness.
[9:42] Speaker 3: And we said both of them are spiritual kingdoms but
[9:45] Speaker 3: depend on physical infrastructures to exert their dominion upon the earth.
[9:52] Speaker 3: And that these infrastructures are threefold. Men, ideologies or belief
[9:57] Speaker 3: systems and institutions. That is the only way the program
[10:01] Speaker 3: of god is extended within the earth and that is
[10:03] Speaker 3: the only way the program of satan is extended within
[10:06] Speaker 3: the earth he uses men he uses ideologies or belief
[10:10] Speaker 3: systems and then he uses institutions hallelujah and we said
[10:16] Speaker 3: the kingdom of god god himself Has a program for
[10:20] Speaker 3: all men.
[10:21] Speaker 1: The Bible says he desires that all men be saved.
[10:24] Speaker 1: And that we come on to the knowledge of the truth.
[10:26] Speaker 3: So his program for the nations. Is that Christ the
[10:29] Speaker 3: Lordship of Christ. Is instituted first in the heart of men.
[10:34] Speaker 3: We call that salvation. And then his value system and
[10:38] Speaker 3: his influence. His governing influence. That it finds expression across
[10:43] Speaker 3: every strata of human activities.
[10:46] Speaker 1: Satan also has an agenda.
[10:48] Speaker 3: I didn't take the time to tell us about the
[10:51] Speaker 3: program of Satan, but he does have a counterfeit program.
[10:57] Speaker 1: For an example, Satan has a fourfold agenda.
[11:01] Speaker 3: Number one is to stop men from having a real
[11:04] Speaker 3: encounter with Jesus Christ and accessing the life that comes
[11:08] Speaker 3: through the gospel. His second agenda is to incite rebellion
[11:13] Speaker 3: against the lordship, the government, and the.
[11:16] Speaker 1: Value system of Christ.
[11:19] Speaker 3: He seeks to replace the value system of Christ with
[11:22] Speaker 3: perverted systems.
[11:24] Speaker 1: Number three, Satan's third program across the.
[11:28] Speaker 3: Nations is to institutionalize global hostility against everything God and
[11:35] Speaker 3: everything kingdom come. The hatred, the widespread global hatred for
[11:40] Speaker 3: the church is not a human engineering. There is an
[11:45] Speaker 3: intentional program So number one, to stop men from accessing
[11:50] Speaker 3: the glorious gospel and the saving power that comes with it.
[11:54] Speaker 3: Number two, to incite rebellion against the government of Christ
[11:59] Speaker 3: by attempting to replace the value system of the kingdom
[12:03] Speaker 3: with perverted values. Number three, institutionalizing global hostility against all
[12:09] Speaker 3: those who love Jesus and any program at all that
[12:13] Speaker 3: reveals him to the nations.
[12:14] Speaker 1: Hallelujah. And then of course the fourth program of Satan
[12:18] Speaker 1: is to stop men from accessing light. The light that
[12:21] Speaker 1: brings liberty. Hallelujah. And he does that by weakening their
[12:26] Speaker 1: passion for the word and for the things of God.
[12:29] Speaker 3: And then creating a distance between them and those who
[12:32] Speaker 3: bear this light. So this and more are generally the
[12:37] Speaker 3: programs of the kingdom of darkness.
[12:39] Speaker 1: So that you know that when.
[12:40] Speaker 3: satan as the head of a demonic kingdom has a
[12:43] Speaker 3: very organized program the same way god has his program
[12:47] Speaker 3: and we say there are at least six assignments of
[12:52] Speaker 3: the church please listen to this one that the church
[12:54] Speaker 3: has a mandate and the mandate is sixfold generally speaking
[12:58] Speaker 3: number one the first assignment of the church is priesthood
[13:02] Speaker 3: and prophetic intercession that we have the mandate to enforce
[13:07] Speaker 3: the will of God in prayer and to restrain.
[13:10] Speaker 1: The program of darkness in the place of prayer.
[13:12] Speaker 3: Number two, our second mandate is soul winning and world
[13:17] Speaker 3: evangelization or global missions to see that everybody is saved,
[13:22] Speaker 3: that this gospel is taken to the ends of the earth.
[13:26] Speaker 1: The third assignment of the church.
[13:28] Speaker 3: Is within itself the maturity and the transformation of the saints.
[13:33] Speaker 3: is the third assignment of the church and we achieve
[13:35] Speaker 3: that through the sound communication of doctrine and the principles
[13:39] Speaker 3: of the kingdom that when doctrine is taught comes from
[13:43] Speaker 3: the latin word doctrine at the greek is didascalia it
[13:46] Speaker 3: means a body of knowledge the fundamental truths of the
[13:49] Speaker 3: kingdom hallelujah truths that build an individual from an infant
[13:55] Speaker 3: to become a person of stature doctrine the fifth assignment
[14:00] Speaker 3: or the fourth assignment of the church Is to be
[14:02] Speaker 3: a revelation and a representation of the invisible God.
[14:07] Speaker 1: To be living epistles.
[14:09] Speaker 3: That means we are officially authorized to be the face
[14:12] Speaker 3: of Jesus upon the earth. That the invisible God who
[14:16] Speaker 3: men do not see and cannot see. They understand him
[14:19] Speaker 3: by looking at the church. The Bible calls us living epistles.
[14:23] Speaker 3: So as we manifest the character of the spirit, as
[14:26] Speaker 3: we manifest the life and the wisdom of the spirit,
[14:29] Speaker 3: men can learn God as they look at our lives.
[14:32] Speaker 1: We are not just called.
[14:33] Speaker 3: To be doers. We are also called to be revealers.
[14:36] Speaker 3: Please listen to that. We are not just called to
[14:39] Speaker 3: be doers. We are called to be revealers. A witness
[14:43] Speaker 3: is not just a validator by doing. He's also a
[14:46] Speaker 3: validator by being. hallelujah the fifth assignment of the church
[14:54] Speaker 3: is that god has mandated us to be revealers and
[14:58] Speaker 3: dispensers of his supernatural power the kingdom that we are
[15:02] Speaker 3: part of is a kingdom of power and there are
[15:05] Speaker 3: problems that have plagued mankind from time immemorial and the
[15:09] Speaker 3: church has been vested with that supernatural power to provide
[15:13] Speaker 3: solutions solutions that defy science Solutions that defy the scope
[15:18] Speaker 3: of human reasoning. Maybe let me just digress for a
[15:21] Speaker 3: moment to say this. Please look at me. Supernatural power
[15:26] Speaker 3: can also find its expression through science, through arts, through technology.
[15:33] Speaker 3: So when I talk about the church dispensing the power
[15:35] Speaker 3: of God, ultimately the supernatural there should not be limited
[15:40] Speaker 3: to science and wonders alone. Because the church has a
[15:43] Speaker 3: mandate to display the manifold wisdom of God.
[15:46] Speaker 1: Are we together?
[15:47] Speaker 3: Science is an expression of the supernatural. In fact, Science
[15:51] Speaker 3: is one of the bodies that the supernatural wears to
[15:54] Speaker 3: reveal itself upon the earth.
[15:56] Speaker 1: Art is one of the bodies the supernatural wears to
[15:59] Speaker 1: reveal itself on earth. Technology, are we together?
[16:03] Speaker 3: So that when we talk about power, we don't just
[16:05] Speaker 3: limit it to raising the dead, killing the sick.
[16:08] Speaker 1: Now that's the one science cannot do.
[16:10] Speaker 3: But in addition to that, we need believers who can
[16:13] Speaker 3: demonstrate the power and the wisdom of God. witty inventions
[16:18] Speaker 3: technology advancement affecting the social economy of a territory are
[16:23] Speaker 3: we learning now so the church has a mandate to
[16:26] Speaker 3: be revealers of the power and the wisdom of god
[16:30] Speaker 3: i did not give us six so let me give
[16:32] Speaker 3: us six now very quickly the sixth assignment of the
[16:35] Speaker 3: church is to be the agents of change bringing about
[16:40] Speaker 3: territorial transformation and preservation Agents of change. Influencing every strata
[16:48] Speaker 3: of human activity with the values of the kingdom. The
[16:51] Speaker 3: Bible calls us salt. The Bible calls us light. Matthew 5,
[16:55] Speaker 3: 13 to 16. The assignment of salt is to add
[16:57] Speaker 3: taste and to preserve. The assignment of light is to
[17:01] Speaker 3: expose darkness and to bring illumination.
[17:04] Speaker 1: Hallelujah.
[17:05] Speaker 3: The church has an assignment to our territory. So the
[17:08] Speaker 3: church in Oji River has an assignment to Oji River.
[17:12] Speaker 1: Praise the name of the Lord. That there must be transformation.
[17:16] Speaker 1: And the transformative work of the church in society is threefold.
[17:21] Speaker 1: Number one is moral transformation. That's the first area of
[17:25] Speaker 1: transformation that the church should bring to a territory.
[17:28] Speaker 3: That means we should increase the moral standard of any territory.
[17:34] Speaker 3: Because of the presence of the church and the values
[17:37] Speaker 3: and the teachings, crime should reduce. vices should reduce to
[17:41] Speaker 3: the barest minimum it attests to the presence of the
[17:44] Speaker 3: church just crowding ourselves and gathering ourselves every day is
[17:50] Speaker 3: wonderful but the real proof of the presence of the
[17:53] Speaker 3: church is that the moral decadence within any territory is
[17:57] Speaker 3: reduced to the barest minimum and then number two The
[18:02] Speaker 3: second transformative area of the church is in terms of
[18:06] Speaker 3: the belief systems of the people. Bringing about values like responsibility.
[18:12] Speaker 3: So if the church is planted within a territory, all
[18:15] Speaker 3: the young men should be serious because of the presence
[18:17] Speaker 3: of the church.
[18:18] Speaker 1: They should not be idle away. Are we together?
[18:20] Speaker 3: The church has a responsibility to set up community building
[18:24] Speaker 3: and transformative programs.
[18:26] Speaker 1: Not just preaching.
[18:28] Speaker 3: Not just crusades crusades are wonderful they bring in souls
[18:32] Speaker 3: but transformative programs that attend to people regardless faith it's
[18:38] Speaker 3: important the church has an assignment to help make the
[18:42] Speaker 3: people within a territory valuable hallelujah praise the name of
[18:46] Speaker 3: the lord i'm summarizing so let me not take all
[18:48] Speaker 3: my time so that's the assignment of the church now
[18:51] Speaker 3: this morning We did an x-ray on the current state
[18:54] Speaker 3: of the church.
[18:55] Speaker 1: I'm doing this.
[18:56] Speaker 3: Recap because it's important to connect it so that it
[18:58] Speaker 3: will be one long string so you understand my thoughts
[19:01] Speaker 3: so far. I started my discussion this morning by saying
[19:04] Speaker 3: there are three errors that can proceed from the pulpit.
[19:08] Speaker 3: This was particularly to ministers. Number one is the error
[19:11] Speaker 3: of falsehood or apostasy. That the first error that proceeds
[19:16] Speaker 3: from the pulpit is the error of apostasy and falsehood.
[19:21] Speaker 3: a deviation from the known patterns of God. The Spirit
[19:24] Speaker 3: speaketh expressly that in the latter times some shall depart
[19:28] Speaker 3: from the faith and they shall give heed to seducing
[19:30] Speaker 3: spirits and the doctrine of devils. The second error that
[19:34] Speaker 3: proceeds from the pulpit is a misappropriation of kingdom principles.
[19:38] Speaker 3: That means using correct kingdom principles and applying them wrongly,
[19:43] Speaker 3: like giving, like honor, like prayer, like fasting.
[19:47] Speaker 1: Are we together?
[19:48] Speaker 3: These are powerful kingdom principles but we also need to
[19:52] Speaker 3: know how to apply them in a way that does
[19:55] Speaker 3: not become destructive or manipulative giving is a potent kingdom
[19:59] Speaker 3: principle but it can be taught in a way that
[20:02] Speaker 3: becomes an instrument of manipulation Honor is a correct kingdom principle,
[20:07] Speaker 3: but it can be taught in a way that becomes
[20:09] Speaker 3: human worship.
[20:10] Speaker 1: So that's the second.
[20:11] Speaker 3: Error that can proceed from the pulpit. A misappropriation of
[20:16] Speaker 3: truthful principles. Number three is the error of imbalance or
[20:21] Speaker 3: incomplete communication of truth. Imbalance or incomplete communication of truth.
[20:29] Speaker 3: I gave an example in the morning that if you
[20:31] Speaker 3: want to dial my number and you have 8 out
[20:35] Speaker 3: of the 10 digits of my number, will it call
[20:37] Speaker 3: my phone?
[20:38] Speaker 1: No.
[20:39] Speaker 3: Not because the digits are wrong, but they are incomplete.
[20:42] Speaker 3: It is dangerous to give people incomplete truth. It can
[20:45] Speaker 3: still become a weapon of destruction. Truth must be balanced
[20:49] Speaker 3: and it must be wholesome to provide the kind of
[20:53] Speaker 3: power that is contained within it.
[20:55] Speaker 1: Hallelujah. In balance.
[20:57] Speaker 3: I did give us another example That if I want
[20:59] Speaker 3: to make say. Garam soup. And in making the soup.
[21:03] Speaker 3: I add all the leaves. And then I carry one
[21:07] Speaker 3: mudu of salt. And put it in that pot.
[21:11] Speaker 1: What have I done?
[21:12] Speaker 3: I've exaggerated the relevance of salt within that food.
[21:15] Speaker 1: So that's how truth is. It's not enough to communicate truth.
[21:19] Speaker 1: It must be served with the intelligence of a chef.
[21:22] Speaker 1: Because every man of God is a spiritual chef. Jeremiah 3.15
[21:26] Speaker 1: And I will give you pastors or shepherds according to
[21:30] Speaker 1: my heart and they shall feed you.
[21:33] Speaker 3: John 21, Jesus speaking to Simon. Do you love me
[21:36] Speaker 3: more than this?
[21:37] Speaker 1: Feed my lamb.
[21:38] Speaker 3: So pastors are feeders. They nourish people. hallelujah and there
[21:43] Speaker 3: is such a thing as malnourishment a man can be
[21:46] Speaker 3: malnourished and you can remain stunted in the spirit even
[21:50] Speaker 3: from a sincere pastor so the third error that can
[21:53] Speaker 3: proceed from the pulpit is the error of incomplete truth
[21:58] Speaker 3: or imbalance we now went forward to list five or
[22:02] Speaker 3: six areas i think we did five In the morning
[22:05] Speaker 3: where the church needs to rise. And the goal is
[22:09] Speaker 3: not to condemn and tear down the church. The church
[22:11] Speaker 3: has done many great things that are commendable.
[22:14] Speaker 1: Crusades.
[22:15] Speaker 3: Soul winning campaigns. Empowerment programs. And all of these are
[22:19] Speaker 3: deserving of commendation. Now let me tell you this.
[22:22] Speaker 1: It's a principle that I've learned from many of you
[22:24] Speaker 1: who follow the programs. A sound of revival series. My
[22:28] Speaker 1: teaching in US was around this area. And one of
[22:31] Speaker 1: the things that I've learned is that.
[22:34] Speaker 3: The way God builds people is to use the dual
[22:38] Speaker 3: principle of commendation and correction.
[22:41] Speaker 1: Everybody say commendation. Say correction. Say commendation. Say correction. When
[22:47] Speaker 1: you over commend.
[22:49] Speaker 3: People, you lead them into a state of pacifism and
[22:54] Speaker 3: the press to continue is no longer there. But when
[22:57] Speaker 3: you over correct people, you get them to a point
[23:00] Speaker 3: of condemnation where they become discouraged. When you find that,
[23:05] Speaker 3: you see that model used by Paul the apostle, he
[23:08] Speaker 3: would commend the church, then he would point the areas
[23:11] Speaker 3: that needs to be adjusted. We see the same thing
[23:13] Speaker 3: in Revelation chapter 2. Revelation chapter 3.
[23:16] Speaker 1: To the seven churches that were then in Asia Minor.
[23:20] Speaker 1: You see the way.
[23:21] Speaker 3: That God corrects the church. He commends them. You have
[23:24] Speaker 3: stood for me. You have done this. However, I have
[23:27] Speaker 3: this against you. Then he tells them.
[23:29] Speaker 1: What to do. And the consequences that follow.
[23:32] Speaker 3: Every time you over commend people, it leads to a
[23:37] Speaker 3: sense of pacifism and relaxation and slumber. So there is
[23:42] Speaker 3: a limit to commending people. Commend people, but don't over
[23:45] Speaker 3: commend people. And correct people, but don't over flog issues,
[23:50] Speaker 3: particularly when the willingness to change is already there. The
[23:55] Speaker 3: prodigal son already repented enough. The father did not need
[23:59] Speaker 3: to talk to him about his fall again.
[24:01] Speaker 1: Read your Bible. You will never hear the father of
[24:03] Speaker 1: the prodigal son.
[24:04] Speaker 3: How do you lose a son for so long and
[24:06] Speaker 3: then he comes back and you never discuss what happened?
[24:09] Speaker 1: Because the boy had already repented. Sometimes when we overflog issues,
[24:14] Speaker 1: it goes beyond the scope of correction and it becomes
[24:18] Speaker 1: a communication of self-righteousness.
[24:21] Speaker 3: And the Bible says, let he that thinketh he stand.
[24:24] Speaker 3: Take heed, lest he falls.
[24:25] Speaker 1: Are we learning?
[24:26] Speaker 3: It was upon that backdrop that we brought about six areas.
[24:33] Speaker 3: that need to be adjusted and corrected with the church.
[24:36] Speaker 3: Number one, we said the area of consecration, character, and
[24:40] Speaker 3: the sincerity of our love for God.
[24:42] Speaker 1: That there's still much work to be done. In as
[24:45] Speaker 1: much as God has helped us, there's still a lot
[24:47] Speaker 1: to be done in terms of deepening our consecration, character,
[24:51] Speaker 1: and our love for God.
[24:52] Speaker 3: And I said many of the things that have proceeded,
[24:55] Speaker 3: either from the pulpit or from the church, that are
[24:58] Speaker 3: not so good testimonies about priesthood, they have their roots.
[25:03] Speaker 1: Are we together now?
[25:04] Speaker 3: They have their root in the having not a deep
[25:08] Speaker 3: enough love for God. That loving God and having the
[25:11] Speaker 3: fear of God is the background for doing so many things,
[25:15] Speaker 3: for avoiding.
[25:16] Speaker 1: So many things that bring reproach to the name of
[25:18] Speaker 1: the Lord. Number two, we said the second area where
[25:21] Speaker 1: the church needs to look closely into for the sake
[25:24] Speaker 1: of purifying and growth is the area of doctrine and knowledge.
[25:30] Speaker 1: In addition to character and consecration issues, we said there's
[25:34] Speaker 1: still a lot of work that needs to be done
[25:36] Speaker 1: along the area of doctrine and knowledge. What is the scope,
[25:41] Speaker 1: the boundary of information that a believer should learn? What
[25:44] Speaker 1: should we learn and what should we not learn? What
[25:47] Speaker 1: do we believe and what do we stand upon?
[25:49] Speaker 3: Number three, we spoke about the third area where the
[25:53] Speaker 3: church needs correction, adjustment is in the area of principles
[25:57] Speaker 3: and practices. Our strategies and methods, how we obtain the
[26:03] Speaker 3: results that we obtain matters, not just that we obtain results.
[26:06] Speaker 1: So things like prophetic action, the use of mediums, sacraments,
[26:11] Speaker 1: you know, and all of that. We said that there's
[26:13] Speaker 1: need for an examination.
[26:15] Speaker 3: As to our principles and our methods to make sure
[26:18] Speaker 3: we do not adopt Babylonian methods, Antichrist methods, and occultic methods.
[26:24] Speaker 3: to achieve spiritual things while it is true that the
[26:28] Speaker 3: holy spirit is very dynamic in its operation we find
[26:31] Speaker 3: that in the bible he uses different ways of achieving
[26:34] Speaker 3: the program of god there is a way god does
[26:37] Speaker 3: not function and when you know god in spite of
[26:41] Speaker 3: all the diverse ways he functions you can know that
[26:44] Speaker 3: this strategy is babylonian in origin this strategy is occultic
[26:49] Speaker 3: in origin If there is no examination of our strategies,
[26:53] Speaker 3: we'll be celebrating results whose.
[26:55] Speaker 1: Strategies came from hell.
[26:57] Speaker 3: Because if Moses throws his rod and it becomes a serpent,
[27:01] Speaker 3: Janus and Jambus can also use occultic power and throw
[27:05] Speaker 3: their rods. It will become a serpent. So the idea
[27:07] Speaker 3: is not about whose rod became a serpent. What power
[27:11] Speaker 3: sponsored it in becoming that serpent? Principles and practices. There
[27:17] Speaker 3: are very unchristian principles, regardless how dynamic the Holy Ghost is.
[27:23] Speaker 3: When you see any practice that violates human dignity, listen
[27:27] Speaker 3: to this, any practice that violates the ethics of consecration,
[27:32] Speaker 3: any practice that violates human.
[27:34] Speaker 1: Dignity, the ethics of consecration is questionable. Are we together?
[27:39] Speaker 3: When you begin to engage in practices that are erotic practices,
[27:43] Speaker 3: And very, very, very demeaning to human beings.
[27:48] Speaker 1: You understand what I'm saying? Now, you can't say it's
[27:51] Speaker 1: the Holy Ghost doing that. No.
[27:54] Speaker 3: There are any practice, any strategy that must make you
[27:59] Speaker 3: reduce human dignity. When Nebuchadnezzar became an animal, it was
[28:03] Speaker 3: not a strategy.
[28:04] Speaker 1: It was a course on him.
[28:05] Speaker 3: So when you make human beings to become animals to
[28:08] Speaker 3: achieve spiritual goals, something is wrong. Anything that demeans human
[28:14] Speaker 3: dignity as the highest of God's creation deserves to be probed.
[28:18] Speaker 3: Anything that sells an idea of lust and flesh and
[28:23] Speaker 3: gratifies the flesh is not a spiritual strategy.
[28:26] Speaker 1: Are we learning now?
[28:28] Speaker 3: And anything that does not directly reveal the glory of
[28:31] Speaker 3: God and reveal self is not a strategy. So you
[28:35] Speaker 3: can use this indices to say, no, I love this man.
[28:38] Speaker 3: This man is prophesying, not to judge. This church is
[28:42] Speaker 3: acting this way. As much as the Holy Ghost is
[28:44] Speaker 3: very dynamic, you can know that this principle, one gratifies flesh,
[28:49] Speaker 3: not Jesus.
[28:50] Speaker 1: This one reduces human dignity. You see that?
[28:54] Speaker 3: And immediately you can use it as a litmus test
[28:56] Speaker 3: to know that this is not correct.
[29:01] Speaker 1: If I ask for, God forbid, but I ask a
[29:06] Speaker 1: gentleman to come out and stand here or a lady.
[29:09] Speaker 3: And I ask them to pull up their clothes as
[29:11] Speaker 3: a prophetic act. You see, in front of everybody, the
[29:14] Speaker 3: Holy Spirit is not that stupid. The first revelation of
[29:17] Speaker 3: the Holy Spirit is as the God of intelligence.
[29:20] Speaker 1: Are we together?
[29:21] Speaker 3: No matter what kind of prophetic act it is, based
[29:24] Speaker 3: on the lens of scripture, we have to probe into
[29:26] Speaker 3: that thing.
[29:27] Speaker 1: Something is wrong. Are we together?
[29:31] Speaker 3: If I look at someone and I ask the person
[29:33] Speaker 3: to transfer all his money to my account.
[29:35] Speaker 1: For my benefit. Ignoring his will. Ignoring his will.
[29:40] Speaker 3: The holy ghost will never do that even at the
[29:42] Speaker 3: expense of your eternal destiny he leads you to choose
[29:46] Speaker 3: so by the time you have to force me anything
[29:48] Speaker 3: that comes with manipulation Are we learning now? So in
[29:53] Speaker 3: as much as the path of the spirit is very dynamic,
[29:56] Speaker 3: you can use.
[29:57] Speaker 1: The lens of the word and the character of doctrine
[30:00] Speaker 1: and the character of God himself to judge spirits, to
[30:04] Speaker 1: test spirits, to test operations. Are we learning? This is
[30:08] Speaker 1: very important. Number what now? That's number four.
[30:16] Speaker 3: The fourth assignment of the church, or the fourth area
[30:21] Speaker 3: that the church needs to correct, we said defining our
[30:24] Speaker 3: role and our level of involvement as far as matters
[30:29] Speaker 3: of state is concerned. It's important we do that. On
[30:33] Speaker 3: one hand, there is a clamor to not associate with unbelievers.
[30:37] Speaker 3: But on another hand... There is a mandate to go
[30:39] Speaker 3: to the unbelievers. So the church has to define the
[30:42] Speaker 3: rules of engagement as far as interacting with people is concerned.
[30:46] Speaker 3: And I did give us a balance in the morning.
[30:48] Speaker 3: I said the church is a reaching entity. So we cannot.
[30:52] Speaker 1: Alienate ourselves from matters of church and state. and souls
[30:56] Speaker 1: the unbelievers are the reason why.
[30:58] Speaker 3: We are here we were sent to win them however
[31:01] Speaker 3: that reaching unbelievers must be done with caution so that
[31:05] Speaker 3: we don't model ourselves in the same mode we are
[31:07] Speaker 3: trying to bring them out of are we together so
[31:10] Speaker 3: the believer must reach but he must reach with intelligence
[31:14] Speaker 3: Such that you preserve your consecration. An example of a
[31:18] Speaker 3: man who made that mistake was Lot in the Bible.
[31:22] Speaker 3: Lot was a righteous man in as much as the
[31:24] Speaker 3: standard of righteousness there was there.
[31:26] Speaker 1: But he made a mistake.
[31:28] Speaker 3: The way he engaged with Sodom and Gomorrah, he found
[31:31] Speaker 3: himself in the middle of Sodom and Gomorrah. The first
[31:34] Speaker 3: time he settled, he settled near Sodom. He did not
[31:37] Speaker 3: settle in the middle of Sodom. The Bible says he
[31:40] Speaker 3: settled near Sodom. But by the time the angel came
[31:43] Speaker 3: to save him, he had already gone in the middle
[31:45] Speaker 3: of Sodom. So be careful when you settle near Sodom.
[31:49] Speaker 3: As you are going to preach, you are not supposed
[31:51] Speaker 3: to tabernacle there. You go to win souls and then
[31:54] Speaker 3: you leave. You take the souls to a place of safety.
[31:58] Speaker 3: Even if the souls don't come with you, you plant
[32:00] Speaker 3: the seed and you return back to the place of safety.
[32:03] Speaker 1: There is danger in.
[32:04] Speaker 3: Settling near Sodom because Sodom is very alluring.
[32:09] Speaker 1: You will start moving in and not even know when
[32:11] Speaker 1: you have moved in.
[32:12] Speaker 3: You who started as an evangelist can become the chief
[32:15] Speaker 3: practitioner of what you were.
[32:16] Speaker 1: Sent to deliver men from. Are we learning now?
[32:19] Speaker 3: So the idea is not to run away from unbelievers.
[32:24] Speaker 3: When we run away from unbelievers, who saves them? But
[32:27] Speaker 3: we must engage believers knowing that Babylon is also looking
[32:31] Speaker 3: for us.
[32:32] Speaker 1: And you must engage with wisdom.
[32:34] Speaker 3: We sow the seeds and then we step back to
[32:37] Speaker 3: make sure that our consecration is still there.
[32:40] Speaker 1: That's the reason why... It starts from the altar before
[32:44] Speaker 1: it gets to the mission field. It doesn't start from
[32:46] Speaker 1: the mission field. It starts from the altar.
[32:49] Speaker 3: Ensuring that your consecration, your walk with God is fine
[32:53] Speaker 3: and intact.
[32:54] Speaker 1: Then you go and minister to them.
[32:55] Speaker 3: Then you return back to the place of safety.
[32:58] Speaker 1: Are we learning? Number five.
[33:00] Speaker 3: We said the fifth area that needs to be corrected
[33:04] Speaker 3: is the area of leadership and governance. The fifth area
[33:08] Speaker 3: that needs to be corrected is Leadership and governance, encapsulating
[33:13] Speaker 3: everything from spiritual fatherhood, the concept, mentorship, church leadership, governance,
[33:22] Speaker 3: succession principles, all of these.
[33:25] Speaker 1: Are matters that need to be discussed.
[33:28] Speaker 3: I gave an instance that we need to be careful
[33:31] Speaker 3: and we need to correctly redefine fatherhood, spiritual fatherhood. and
[33:36] Speaker 3: spiritual authority i said that there's been a mix of
[33:40] Speaker 3: all kinds of things in the body of christ in
[33:42] Speaker 3: the name of fatherhood there are a lot of concepts
[33:46] Speaker 3: of fatherhood in the body of christ that upon closer
[33:49] Speaker 3: examination is occultism and witchcraft it's not fatherhood the practice
[33:54] Speaker 3: there is an antichrist practice even by sincere and well-meaning
[33:58] Speaker 3: people hallelujah So we must approach the issue of fatherhood
[34:03] Speaker 3: with intelligence and look at the blueprints that the Bible gave.
[34:08] Speaker 3: There are many people today who cannot know God because
[34:11] Speaker 3: they have to honor their fathers. They cannot grow in
[34:13] Speaker 3: grace because they have to honor their fathers. Even when
[34:16] Speaker 3: they see the principles and the practices are wrong, they
[34:19] Speaker 3: have to honor the fathers. There are young people fighting
[34:21] Speaker 3: battles they know nothing about because there is a creed
[34:25] Speaker 3: that they must join and fight with their fathers.
[34:28] Speaker 1: It's unintelligent. Are we together now?
[34:31] Speaker 3: Fatherhood must be approached with a lot of respect, sacredness,
[34:35] Speaker 3: and balance.
[34:36] Speaker 1: Same thing with mentorship. Same thing with the issue of
[34:39] Speaker 1: church governance.
[34:41] Speaker 3: I did tell us particularly among the Pentecostal charismatic circles,
[34:45] Speaker 3: because the entire work is built around one person with
[34:48] Speaker 3: all due respect, And nothing is intrinsically wrong. Except that
[34:52] Speaker 3: that model has been proven through the years. That except
[34:56] Speaker 3: you walk within the model and add a few things,
[34:59] Speaker 3: it does not sustain. There's no longevity to it. Jesus
[35:04] Speaker 3: started a program. And he was secure enough to hand
[35:08] Speaker 3: it over to 120 people.
[35:09] Speaker 1: And he left. He left the Holy Ghost. And he left.
[35:13] Speaker 3: And he has never been insecure about the program. He
[35:15] Speaker 3: knew that the program would not fail. Imagine if Jesus
[35:19] Speaker 3: has to come back in the flesh every week to
[35:21] Speaker 3: supervise what we are doing. He was secure enough to
[35:25] Speaker 3: train people and handed the program to them. Left the
[35:28] Speaker 3: Holy Ghost with them and left. Regardless the character inefficiencies.
[35:33] Speaker 3: More than how many thousand years ago the program is
[35:36] Speaker 3: still alive today. But many of our visions don't survive
[35:39] Speaker 3: 10 years. Because sometimes we are too insecure to trust others.
[35:44] Speaker 3: Yet God trusted us. There is a level of preparedness
[35:47] Speaker 3: to start, but nobody can ever be prepared enough for
[35:50] Speaker 3: the work of the kingdom. There are many times a
[35:52] Speaker 3: preparation happens as we grow. So if God can take
[35:56] Speaker 3: a risk with you, you must also take a risk
[35:58] Speaker 3: with others. Becoming overprotective and emotional over the work has
[36:03] Speaker 3: damaged the program of God. People can be children, but
[36:07] Speaker 3: they cannot remain children forever.
[36:10] Speaker 1: Hallelujah.
[36:12] Speaker 3: One day allow the young people to take the prayer.
[36:15] Speaker 3: One day allow the young people to organize the crusade.
[36:18] Speaker 1: They will make mistakes.
[36:19] Speaker 3: You see, one of the blessings of fatherhood is that
[36:22] Speaker 3: it is better for your sons to make mistakes in
[36:24] Speaker 3: your presence. You are alive to correct it than the
[36:28] Speaker 3: one you watch from heaven and see that they scatter
[36:30] Speaker 3: everything you are able to build. I prefer my sons
[36:34] Speaker 3: to make the mistake in my presence. At least I'm
[36:37] Speaker 3: alive to correct it. What if the prodigal son's father
[36:40] Speaker 3: was dead?
[36:41] Speaker 1: Who would restore the boy? The presence of the father
[36:44] Speaker 1: was the hope for the boy.
[36:46] Speaker 3: That even though he left, at least the father was
[36:49] Speaker 3: alive to receive him back.
[36:56] Speaker 1: Hallelujah. And then number six. Number six.
[37:04] Speaker 3: We said the sixth area that the church needs correction
[37:07] Speaker 3: and growth is the area of emotional maturity. And the
[37:12] Speaker 3: management of differences. Among pastors. Among denominations.
[37:16] Speaker 1: Hallelujah. There are many things that come from the pulpit.
[37:21] Speaker 1: That we think is God. It's not God.
[37:24] Speaker 3: Let me tell you this. Ministry, like we know, is
[37:27] Speaker 3: a composite of many things. Spirituality is a major part,
[37:32] Speaker 3: but not the only part.
[37:33] Speaker 1: There is leadership and organization. Are we together?
[37:36] Speaker 3: There is excellence and productivity. There is also emotional maturity.
[37:42] Speaker 3: There are many anointed but emotionally immature leaders. There are
[37:48] Speaker 3: many anointed but emotionally immature platforms and denominations with all
[37:54] Speaker 3: due respect.
[37:56] Speaker 1: Jesus taught us how to coexist with one another. Conflict.
[38:00] Speaker 1: And all kinds of differences. It's a human thing. It
[38:04] Speaker 1: did not start with us. It's been there from time immemorial.
[38:07] Speaker 3: And the Bible provides a template for peaceful coexistence.
[38:11] Speaker 1: Among brethren and then within the cosmos. There is a template.
[38:16] Speaker 1: Are we together?
[38:17] Speaker 3: I told you that the campaign of hate will never
[38:21] Speaker 3: birth the program of God.
[38:22] Speaker 1: We must learn to respect ourselves. Even if we don't
[38:26] Speaker 1: believe ourselves.
[38:29] Speaker 3: Respecting people's differences has nothing to do with necessarily believing them.
[38:35] Speaker 1: Are we together?
[38:36] Speaker 3: Even God in heaven respects the sinner's view if he
[38:40] Speaker 3: makes up his mind that he will not accept Jesus.
[38:43] Speaker 1: Jesus will not say, I wasted my time. I died
[38:45] Speaker 1: for you. You must be stupid. You must be born again.
[38:48] Speaker 1: You think I died for nothing? I spent time on
[38:50] Speaker 1: Calvary's tree and you are here saying you will not,
[38:52] Speaker 1: if you don't receive me, you will die. No, no, no, no, no, no.
[38:54] Speaker 1: As many as received him. That means not everybody will
[38:58] Speaker 1: receive him. As many.
[39:01] Speaker 3: If God respects men, men must respect men. God, as
[39:06] Speaker 3: mighty as he is, respects men. And it's men that
[39:10] Speaker 3: disrespect themselves. That I don't agree with Bishop Ike does
[39:15] Speaker 3: not mean I have to hate him. Does not mean
[39:18] Speaker 3: I have to hate the Anglican communion. Does not mean
[39:21] Speaker 3: I have to hate a church or hate a man
[39:23] Speaker 3: of God. Are we together now?
[39:24] Speaker 1: Emotional maturity.
[39:27] Speaker 3: And sometimes we spiritualize insecurity. we spiritualize fears we spiritualize
[39:34] Speaker 3: our concerns and turn them into sermons and make it
[39:38] Speaker 3: look like it's the holy ghost inspiring us it's not
[39:40] Speaker 3: true The Holy Ghost is the spirit of truth.
[39:43] Speaker 1: The Holy Ghost beds the character of love.
[39:46] Speaker 3: Listen, the zenith of spiritual transformation is not knowledge, it's love.
[39:51] Speaker 3: If you are growing spiritually, the real proof you are
[39:54] Speaker 3: growing spiritually is not just enlightenment, but love.
[39:58] Speaker 1: Any level of enlightenment that diminishes your love for God
[40:02] Speaker 1: and people is fake.
[40:04] Speaker 3: The Bible says the proof that you love God is
[40:07] Speaker 3: how you love those around you.
[40:08] Speaker 1: Is that true?
[40:11] Speaker 3: I come from the north. I've interacted with Muslims. I've
[40:14] Speaker 3: interacted with other people who are non-Christians. And in as
[40:18] Speaker 3: much as we continue to advocate for their salvation, I
[40:21] Speaker 3: am a practitioner of responsible Christianity. By the privilege of
[40:26] Speaker 3: what I do, God has granted me access to governments
[40:30] Speaker 3: and people, to presidents and kings, and I engage them
[40:34] Speaker 3: preserving my values, but also respecting people. I don't tear
[40:38] Speaker 3: people down just because they don't believe what I believe.
[40:42] Speaker 1: Listen, I am passionate about God, but I hate fanatism.
[40:47] Speaker 3: Fanatism and extremism go and study it it's been the
[40:51] Speaker 3: bane of the tearing down of many many civilizations you
[40:55] Speaker 3: know what fanatism is hatred based on differences and extremism
[41:01] Speaker 3: and sometimes we sell this in church in the name
[41:04] Speaker 3: of passion for God any love for God that demands
[41:08] Speaker 3: that you hate the brethren to love him that revelation
[41:11] Speaker 3: did not come from God are we together.
[41:15] Speaker 1: The more you grow in Christ, the more.
[41:18] Speaker 3: You understand the value of one human being. You will
[41:21] Speaker 3: not hate men cheaply and go to bed and sleep
[41:25] Speaker 3: and wake up with hatred burning in your heart.
[41:27] Speaker 1: It's not the spirit of the Christ. Not so.
[41:30] Speaker 3: So we took our time to appreciate ourselves. I told
[41:34] Speaker 3: the pastors in the east, don't hate yourselves. I know
[41:37] Speaker 3: that there are people who are acting in a way
[41:39] Speaker 3: that should not be.
[41:40] Speaker 1: I know that. I'm not blind.
[41:42] Speaker 3: I know that there are people merchandising.
[41:44] Speaker 1: The gospel for gain. I know that.
[41:46] Speaker 3: We hate evil, not men. Separate the practice from the persons.
[41:53] Speaker 1: Are we together?
[41:55] Speaker 3: And then, mentor the people under you. To not sell
[41:59] Speaker 3: hatred as a strategy. That's a devilish thing. I am
[42:03] Speaker 3: a passionate lover of Jesus. But fanatism has not built
[42:07] Speaker 3: any society. I'm a student of history. By the privilege
[42:11] Speaker 3: of the help of God upon my life, I can
[42:13] Speaker 3: look at life and nation from a bird's view. There
[42:16] Speaker 3: are things I can see from that altitude. Fanatism has
[42:19] Speaker 3: never moved Africa anywhere. Fanatism has never moved any region
[42:24] Speaker 3: in Nigeria anywhere. Those who spearheaded the campaign that today
[42:28] Speaker 3: we talk about, they were people who were wrapped with love.
[42:32] Speaker 3: They loved people. And there are many dimensions to love.
[42:36] Speaker 3: There is tolerance as a dimension of love. There is
[42:39] Speaker 3: forgiveness as a dimension of love. There is mercy as
[42:43] Speaker 3: a dimension of love. There is grace as a dimension
[42:46] Speaker 3: of love. You can't say you love God and yet
[42:48] Speaker 3: not allow these things happen in your life. Is somebody learning?
[42:53] Speaker 3: Don't go around and see a church holding a crusade
[42:55] Speaker 3: and say, look at these crazy people.
[42:57] Speaker 1: Look at what they are doing. See how they are clapping.
[42:59] Speaker 1: See how they are dancing. No, no, no, no, no, no.
[43:01] Speaker 1: Once you begin to do.
[43:02] Speaker 3: That, and then you know sometimes the young people we
[43:05] Speaker 3: are raising, the only way to please us is to
[43:08] Speaker 3: let us know that they hate what we hate.
[43:10] Speaker 1: So even though they know it's not right, they are
[43:13] Speaker 1: under duress to keep doing the same thing.
[43:15] Speaker 3: We are going to destroy the program of God that way.
[43:17] Speaker 1: I never go to a region attempting to help that
[43:21] Speaker 1: region by hating the region. God knows I love the East.
[43:25] Speaker 1: It's not because I'm here. I've been very vocal about
[43:28] Speaker 1: my love for the East.
[43:29] Speaker 3: Very vocal about my love for the West. Very vocal
[43:33] Speaker 3: about my love. God so loved the world. God cannot
[43:36] Speaker 3: trust you with the grace to change the territory and
[43:38] Speaker 3: the people you hate.
[43:44] Speaker 1: Hallelujah.
[43:52] Speaker 3: I've had the honor of preaching across almost every denomination,
[43:54] Speaker 3: major denomination. Now I have my personal convictions. I have
[43:58] Speaker 3: my reservations. However, it's not enough.
[44:01] Speaker 1: Reason to hate people.
[44:04] Speaker 3: I've seen people say things that I know this is
[44:06] Speaker 3: not doctrinally accurate. I've seen people behave in a way
[44:10] Speaker 3: that I know a man of God should not behave
[44:12] Speaker 3: this way or a denomination that understands God should not
[44:15] Speaker 3: behave this way.
[44:16] Speaker 1: My response to them is intercession.
[44:19] Speaker 3: And where God provides a platform to show them, I
[44:22] Speaker 3: show them in love, not from a standpoint of superiority.
[44:27] Speaker 3: You cannot help people by making yourself look like you
[44:30] Speaker 3: are better than them. Jesus did not save us by
[44:33] Speaker 3: making it look like he was.
[44:34] Speaker 1: He came to our level.
[44:37] Speaker 3: See that now he came to his own that's how
[44:40] Speaker 3: you bless people you reduce yourself to their level not
[44:43] Speaker 3: by compromise but by humility the bible said let this
[44:46] Speaker 3: mind be in.
[44:47] Speaker 1: You i'm showing you how to win people.
[44:52] Speaker 3: By the time you come with a sense of self-righteousness
[44:55] Speaker 3: and say everybody in ojiva you are not serious You
[44:59] Speaker 3: people are not serious. Where are the men of God here?
[45:02] Speaker 3: Why are there no hospitals? Why is there no revival?
[45:04] Speaker 3: I mean, shame on all the pastors.
[45:05] Speaker 1: You imagine that this is how I came. An array
[45:08] Speaker 1: of people who fear God, who pray, who do what
[45:11] Speaker 1: they are doing.
[45:12] Speaker 3: There's always room to rise. But you must come with
[45:14] Speaker 3: the spirit of meekness. Knowing that we are all instruments
[45:18] Speaker 3: of God's mercy. Is somebody learning now? Praise the name
[45:22] Speaker 3: of the Lord. Now let's go to tonight's teaching.
[45:25] Speaker 5: You are the one that we praise. You are the
[45:31] Speaker 5: one we adore.
[45:35] Speaker 1: You give the.
[45:37] Speaker 6: Healing and grace that our hearts always hunger for.
[45:46] Speaker 7: Oh, our hearts always wonderful, merciful Savior. Precious Redeemer and friend.
[46:02] Speaker 5: Who would have thought that a.
[46:05] Speaker 8: Lamb could Rescue the souls of men Oh, you rescue.
[46:15] Speaker 1: The souls of.
[46:19] Speaker 5: Men You are the one that we praise you are
[46:27] Speaker 5: the one we adore you give.
[46:33] Speaker 6: The healing and grace that our hearts always you.
[46:48] Speaker 3: Know when the Spirit of God is revealed in a
[46:51] Speaker 3: place there are four things that characterize his presence Number
[46:56] Speaker 3: one is life.
[46:59] Speaker 1: Number two is liberty. Number three is healing. Number four
[47:05] Speaker 1: is hope. If you don't find these four things, it
[47:08] Speaker 1: was not the Holy Ghost there. Life flowing like a river.
[47:13] Speaker 1: Number two, liberty. Setting you free from the shackles of ignorance.
[47:18] Speaker 1: Opening your eyes.
[47:19] Speaker 3: To see the way of the kingdom more perfectly. And
[47:22] Speaker 3: then number three, healing. I just sense in my spirit
[47:26] Speaker 3: that this session has brought a lot of healing to
[47:29] Speaker 3: wounded pastors. I don't know why, but I sense that
[47:32] Speaker 3: in my spirit. Pastors who have been doing their best,
[47:35] Speaker 3: but have been disregarded by those who have gone ahead
[47:39] Speaker 3: of them.
[47:39] Speaker 1: Making it look like they are wasting their time and
[47:41] Speaker 1: not doing ministry. Please find comfort, my dear brothers. Step
[47:46] Speaker 1: by step. Step by step.
[47:48] Speaker 3: If God has granted grace for some of us by
[47:51] Speaker 3: privilege to be ahead, it's not because we are better.
[47:54] Speaker 1: He says, when you are converted, don't forget your brethren.
[47:57] Speaker 1: That's why we have come.
[47:59] Speaker 3: To strengthen our brethren. We are united team together. The
[48:04] Speaker 3: days of celebrity Christianity is over. We have come to
[48:07] Speaker 3: hold the hands of a brother. To say, God has
[48:09] Speaker 3: shown me a way. I can help you too.
[48:12] Speaker 1: Let's go. Let's go. God has shown me the way
[48:15] Speaker 1: of power. Let me lead you by the Spirit.
[48:18] Speaker 3: God has shown me a more excellent way of ministry.
[48:20] Speaker 1: Let me lead you.
[48:22] Speaker 3: Not go down, go to hell, you will go.
[48:23] Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no, no. That's not the way
[48:25] Speaker 1: of the Christ. That's not the way of the Christ.
[48:42] Speaker 1: To the one who is not doing.
[48:43] Speaker 3: Ministry well, there is always room to change. Don't be
[48:47] Speaker 3: ashamed of change. The principles and the practices, you can
[48:50] Speaker 3: go back again and.
[48:52] Speaker 1: Trust God to study the word of God. Edit your sermons.
[48:56] Speaker 3: To one whose Christian experience is not a true representation
[49:00] Speaker 3: of what Jesus died for, there is always room for change.
[49:03] Speaker 3: That's the power of the gospel. Let's go to tonight's teaching.
[49:06] Speaker 3: Micah chapter 4. I want to show you the keys.
[49:11] Speaker 3: to an impactful and an apostolic church. That will be
[49:16] Speaker 3: my final assignment for this edition of our gathering. Micah
[49:21] Speaker 3: chapter 4. We'll read the first two verses.
[49:24] Speaker 1: Micah. Not Malachi my dear people. Micah. Media is giving
[49:31] Speaker 1: me Malachi. Can we do Micah? Thank you. But in
[49:38] Speaker 1: the last days These are the last days.
[49:42] Speaker 3: It shall come to pass here in Oji River that
[49:46] Speaker 3: the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be
[49:49] Speaker 3: exalted or established.
[49:52] Speaker 1: In the top of the mountains.
[49:54] Speaker 3: And it shall be exalted above the hills and people
[49:58] Speaker 3: shall flow to it.
[50:00] Speaker 1: Verse 2. Receive it as a prophetic word.
[50:03] Speaker 3: And many nations shall come and say, let us go
[50:07] Speaker 3: up to the mountain of the Lord. And to the
[50:10] Speaker 3: house of the God of Jacob. And he will teach
[50:14] Speaker 3: us his ways. And we will walk in his paths.
[50:18] Speaker 1: And he will teach us his ways. And we will
[50:21] Speaker 1: walk in his paths. Matthew chapter 5. Beginning from verse 13.
[50:27] Speaker 3: Jesus began a conversation that we call the Beatitudes. He
[50:30] Speaker 3: started contrasting the kingdoms of this world. And the modus
[50:34] Speaker 3: operandi of the unbelieving world. Versus the way the kingdom functions.
[50:39] Speaker 3: And he began a.
[50:40] Speaker 1: Series of discussions.
[50:42] Speaker 3: He would contrast the way men looked at things versus
[50:44] Speaker 3: the way things should be done in the kingdom. By
[50:47] Speaker 3: the time we arrive at chapter 5 verse 13.
[50:52] Speaker 1: He now says ye are the salt of the earth. Salt.
[50:57] Speaker 3: And if the salt has lost its several, wherewith shall
[51:00] Speaker 3: it be salted? It says, it is thanks for good
[51:03] Speaker 3: for nothing, but to be thrown and trampled under the
[51:06] Speaker 3: foot of men. Verse 14 now says, ye are the
[51:10] Speaker 3: light of the world. He calls us a city that
[51:13] Speaker 3: is set on an hill. that cannot be hidden then
[51:17] Speaker 3: he says neither that means this is not the way
[51:19] Speaker 3: it should be neither do men light a lamp and
[51:23] Speaker 3: put that lamp under a bushel but that they pick
[51:26] Speaker 3: that lamp that is lit and put it on a
[51:28] Speaker 3: candlestick so that it will give light to everyone in
[51:32] Speaker 3: the room that means there are always people in the
[51:35] Speaker 3: room waiting for light lights to everyone in the room
[51:40] Speaker 3: are we together then he says in that similitude he
[51:44] Speaker 3: says let your light the word let means permit do
[51:48] Speaker 3: not restrain let your light so shine before men that
[51:53] Speaker 3: they may see your good deeds and glorify your father
[51:58] Speaker 3: which is in heaven hallelujah The church of the Lord
[52:03] Speaker 3: Jesus Christ is ordained to be an impactful entity. Jesus
[52:09] Speaker 3: was speaking in Matthew 16 and verse 18. He says,
[52:13] Speaker 3: I will build my church and the gates of hell
[52:16] Speaker 3: will not prevail against it.
[52:18] Speaker 1: The church of the Lord Jesus is a winning church.
[52:21] Speaker 1: The church of the.
[52:21] Speaker 3: Lord Jesus Christ is an advancing entity. It's an entity
[52:25] Speaker 3: that is valuable to civilization. I told you it is
[52:28] Speaker 3: God's strategy. It says, thou art my battle axe and
[52:32] Speaker 3: my weapon of war. That should be Jeremiah 51 there about.
[52:36] Speaker 3: Thou art my battle axe. The church, it didn't say
[52:39] Speaker 3: you have it, you are it yourself. With you I
[52:42] Speaker 3: will beat down this, I will beat down that. With
[52:44] Speaker 3: you I will do this, with you I will do this.
[52:47] Speaker 3: You are my battle axe.
[52:49] Speaker 1: Hallelujah.
[52:51] Speaker 3: But there are a number of pillars and i will
[52:55] Speaker 3: give you 10 of.
[52:56] Speaker 1: Them very quickly there are 10.
[52:59] Speaker 3: Pillars that make for an impactful and a truly apostolic
[53:04] Speaker 3: church any church any body of believers the church across
[53:10] Speaker 3: any region if they violate any of these 10 pillars
[53:15] Speaker 3: please everybody look at this beautiful structure how many of
[53:18] Speaker 3: you see that there are pillars that hold these structures
[53:22] Speaker 3: am i right from.
[53:24] Speaker 1: The top here there are.
[53:25] Speaker 3: Pillars by the time you find a way of cutting
[53:28] Speaker 3: away all of these pillars the entire building will collapse
[53:32] Speaker 3: and kill people the way samson destroyed the temple of
[53:38] Speaker 3: the hedonistic gods was to find the pillars and he
[53:42] Speaker 3: pushed just two of the pillars not ten not five
[53:45] Speaker 3: there were not only two pillars but he laid his
[53:48] Speaker 3: hands on two pillars as soon as he pushed the
[53:51] Speaker 3: two pillars the bible says the building collapsed and from
[53:55] Speaker 3: that building he killed more people at his.
[53:59] Speaker 1: Death than at his lifetime.
[54:01] Speaker 3: That means there were at least more than 3,000. Because
[54:04] Speaker 3: in one incident, he slew about 3,000 Philistines with the
[54:09] Speaker 3: jawbone of a donkey.
[54:10] Speaker 1: Are we learning now? So pillars are very important. When
[54:14] Speaker 1: you push the pillar away, the entire building collapses.
[54:18] Speaker 3: There are 10 pillars of a living, vibrant, impactful and
[54:24] Speaker 3: apostolic church. That means your church as a local assembly,
[54:28] Speaker 3: your church as a congregation of believers within a region
[54:33] Speaker 3: must be built across these 10 pillars.
[54:35] Speaker 1: Can I give them to you? Please pray in the
[54:37] Speaker 1: spirit for one minute.
[54:39] Speaker 3: Let's pray in the Spirit for one minute and then
[54:42] Speaker 3: I'll show you the 10 pillars. Every true church that
[54:47] Speaker 3: is making impact for Jesus is built across a number
[54:53] Speaker 3: of these pillars. But for a church to fully bring
[54:57] Speaker 3: satisfaction to the heart of God, fulfilling its mandate, it
[55:02] Speaker 3: must push to keep these 10 pillars. In Jesus name
[55:11] Speaker 3: we pray. Pillar number one. Every true apostolic church. Every
[55:17] Speaker 3: impactful church. Must be built on the prayer pillar. Prayer
[55:22] Speaker 3: pillar number one. The prayer pillar. Luke 18 and verse 1.
[55:30] Speaker 3: He speak a parable to the end. That men ought
[55:32] Speaker 3: always to pray. And not to faint. Prayer pillar number one.
[55:37] Speaker 3: What things so ever ye desire. When you pray.
[55:41] Speaker 1: Any church that must become vibrant. Apostolic. Reaching. Evangelical. And impactful.
[55:49] Speaker 1: And even have longevity of impact. Must be a praying church.
[55:53] Speaker 3: The prayer pillar must be guarded and defended by all
[55:57] Speaker 3: godly means. An attack on the prayer system of any
[56:02] Speaker 3: church is an attack on the future of that church
[56:05] Speaker 3: and the relevance of that church. Mark chapter 1, 35
[56:09] Speaker 3: to 37, Jesus himself, when he came and walked upon
[56:12] Speaker 3: the earth, the Bible says, while it was yet early
[56:15] Speaker 3: in the morning, he got up, departed to a solitary
[56:19] Speaker 3: place and there he prayed. Departed to a solitary place.
[56:24] Speaker 3: Believers must be trained and mentored that prayer is part
[56:28] Speaker 3: of the believer's growth process. Prayer is not for prayer warriors.
[56:32] Speaker 3: Prayer is not for preachers. Prayer is not for ordained ministers.
[56:37] Speaker 3: Prayer is for all men. Say, I will pray. Shout
[56:40] Speaker 3: like you're serious. Say, I will pray. Pastors, we must
[56:45] Speaker 3: teach our people to pray.
[56:47] Speaker 1: And the church must be founded on a systemic prayer program.
[56:52] Speaker 9: Systemic.
[56:55] Speaker 1: Hallelujah. In the place of prayer, we enforce the will
[57:00] Speaker 1: of God. In the place of prayer, we restrain the
[57:03] Speaker 1: program of darkness. In the place of prayer, we obtain
[57:07] Speaker 1: our positions. In the place of prayer, we build intimacy
[57:11] Speaker 1: with God. The prayer platform. When the devil wants to
[57:15] Speaker 1: fight the program of God across a territory, he brings
[57:18] Speaker 1: the spirit of slumber.
[57:20] Speaker 3: The apostolic model that was left to us, Acts chapter
[57:24] Speaker 3: 2 from verse 42.
[57:25] Speaker 1: You'll find four elements, major elements. Prayer was one of them.
[57:29] Speaker 3: The Bible says, and they continued in the apostles doctrine
[57:33] Speaker 3: and in breaking of bread and in fellowship and in prayer.
[57:38] Speaker 3: Acts chapter 6 and verse 4. But we will give
[57:40] Speaker 3: ourselves continually to prayer. and to the ministry of the word.
[57:46] Speaker 3: Not prayer or the ministry of the word.
[57:49] Speaker 1: Prayer.
[57:50] Speaker 3: So a vibrant apostolic church must be a praying church.
[57:55] Speaker 3: We must train our people to value prayer and we
[57:58] Speaker 3: must train our people to pray accurately. There is such
[58:02] Speaker 3: a thing as praying amiss. You can dissipate energy and
[58:08] Speaker 3: yet not create.
[58:08] Speaker 1: An effect in the spirit.
[58:10] Speaker 3: The Bible says the fervent and effectual prayer of the righteous.
[58:15] Speaker 3: There is a kind of prayer that prevails. That is
[58:17] Speaker 3: dynamic in its working. The fervent and effectual prayer. Fervent
[58:22] Speaker 3: means heartfelt. Effectual means consistent with the will of God.
[58:27] Speaker 3: If your prayer is outside of the scope of the
[58:30] Speaker 3: will of God, it cannot be answered. Because this is
[58:32] Speaker 3: the confidence we have in Him that when we ask anything,
[58:36] Speaker 3: not as we desire, according to His will, we know
[58:39] Speaker 3: that He hears us.
[58:40] Speaker 1: There are rules to prayer. Someone say, I will pray.
[58:44] Speaker 3: The second pillar upon which any vibrant apostolic, evangelical and
[58:52] Speaker 3: impactful church is built on is the evangelism pillar. evangelism pillar.
[58:58] Speaker 3: Every church must be a going church. Every church must
[59:02] Speaker 3: be a reaching church. Every church must be must raise
[59:07] Speaker 3: fishes of men mark 16 15 he gave us an
[59:13] Speaker 3: instruction he says go ye into all the world And
[59:19] Speaker 3: preach the gospel to every creature. Go ye into all
[59:22] Speaker 3: the world. The Bible says, how shall they be saved?
[59:25] Speaker 3: Until there is a preacher. How beautiful is the feet
[59:29] Speaker 3: of them that serve good news.
[59:32] Speaker 1: Listen to me. Evangelism must not die in our time.
[59:36] Speaker 1: Say amen.
[59:38] Speaker 3: And evangelism must go beyond crusades and evangelical campaigns. It
[59:43] Speaker 3: takes millions to organize one crusade. How many crusades can
[59:47] Speaker 3: you organize in a year? But everybody can be a
[59:50] Speaker 3: soul winner. Everybody cannot do the work of an apostle.
[59:54] Speaker 3: Everybody cannot do the work of a prophet. Everybody cannot
[59:57] Speaker 3: do the work of.
[59:58] Speaker 1: A pastor, a teacher. But everybody can do the work
[1:00:02] Speaker 1: of an evangelist. Are we together? If we don't save people.
[1:00:09] Speaker 3: Then the devil will continue to have human bodies that
[1:00:12] Speaker 3: he can use to wreak havoc and to fight God's program.
[1:00:15] Speaker 3: We must become fishers of men. He says, come, follow
[1:00:20] Speaker 3: me and I will make you. God is a maker.
[1:00:23] Speaker 3: He makes men fishers of men. You must be passionate
[1:00:27] Speaker 3: about souls. Genuinely so. Passionate about souls. I've been in
[1:00:31] Speaker 3: this business of soul winning for all my life serving God.
[1:00:35] Speaker 3: I have seen the value of serving God. And soul
[1:00:38] Speaker 3: winning does not have to be a transactional thing. I'm
[1:00:41] Speaker 3: saving souls so that God will give me this.
[1:00:43] Speaker 5: No.
[1:00:44] Speaker 1: It's a privilege and an honor. Hallelujah.
[1:00:49] Speaker 3: Let's ensure that we are invested in the business of
[1:00:52] Speaker 3: soul winning.
[1:00:54] Speaker 1: Soul winning.
[1:00:55] Speaker 3: Every church that must be a winning church must place
[1:00:59] Speaker 3: priority on discipleship. Discipleship is the reformative process and the
[1:01:06] Speaker 3: transformative process that builds the culture of the kingdom in men.
[1:01:11] Speaker 3: Discipleship is an ongoing process that beds the character and
[1:01:16] Speaker 3: the excellence of the Christ in men experientially. Discipleship goes
[1:01:21] Speaker 3: beyond learning the tenets of a A denomination. It is
[1:01:27] Speaker 3: a lifelong process of culturing men to become like Christ.
[1:01:33] Speaker 1: Producing responsible kingdom citizens. Let me tell you this.
[1:01:37] Speaker 3: The maturity of the saints depend on discipleship. And there
[1:01:42] Speaker 3: are many things that make up the curriculum of discipleship.
[1:01:46] Speaker 3: You must teach people for an example how to walk
[1:01:49] Speaker 3: in love. You must teach them how to live by faith.
[1:01:52] Speaker 3: You must teach them victory over the flesh and mammon.
[1:01:56] Speaker 3: You must teach them how to die and live for Jesus.
[1:02:00] Speaker 3: You must teach them.
[1:02:01] Speaker 1: How to prioritize the things of the kingdom. You must
[1:02:04] Speaker 1: teach them prayer.
[1:02:07] Speaker 3: This is how people become matured in the spirit. A
[1:02:13] Speaker 3: believer who is saved but not transformed through discipleship, is
[1:02:17] Speaker 3: still a danger to himself and the program of God.
[1:02:20] Speaker 1: Now please listen.
[1:02:21] Speaker 3: I made a statement a number of places, but let
[1:02:25] Speaker 3: me make it here. The real value of a Christian
[1:02:29] Speaker 3: is not just in your being born again. It's in
[1:02:31] Speaker 3: your being matured enough to drive the program of God.
[1:02:35] Speaker 3: Your real value to the kingdom is not your salvation.
[1:02:38] Speaker 3: Your salvation benefits you. Your real value to the kingdom
[1:02:42] Speaker 3: is your growth and your maturity. When you grow and
[1:02:46] Speaker 3: become mature, then God can trust you.
[1:02:49] Speaker 1: With his program. You now become an advantage to God's program.
[1:02:53] Speaker 3: There are many babes and many children in church. As
[1:03:00] Speaker 3: little born babes, we must desire the sincere milk of
[1:03:03] Speaker 3: the word.
[1:03:04] Speaker 1: That it will make grow. Hallelujah.
[1:03:06] Speaker 3: So the discipleship platform, we must be very intentional about
[1:03:10] Speaker 3: the teaching ministry miracles are powerful but you cannot raise
[1:03:14] Speaker 3: men using miracles miracles were designed to attract men and
[1:03:18] Speaker 3: to bring men then you submit to sound doctrine and
[1:03:23] Speaker 3: you are taught and let me tell you this until
[1:03:27] Speaker 3: you teach people to respect the word of god they
[1:03:30] Speaker 3: will always run away from the teaching ministry did you
[1:03:32] Speaker 3: hear what i said It takes grace for people to
[1:03:36] Speaker 3: endure sound doctrine.
[1:03:38] Speaker 1: And they must be mentored into it.
[1:03:40] Speaker 3: Once you teach people to just receive miracles and run away.
[1:03:44] Speaker 3: Once you want to teach them the word of God.
[1:03:46] Speaker 3: They say this thing is too much. I need answers now.
[1:03:50] Speaker 3: There are many things we are praying for. Whose answer
[1:03:53] Speaker 3: is in our growth. One of the greatest ways God
[1:03:56] Speaker 3: answer prayer is to leave the answer and cause the
[1:03:59] Speaker 3: person praying to grow. Because that prayer request is a
[1:04:03] Speaker 3: symptom of lack of growth.
[1:04:05] Speaker 1: There are some things you don't pray for if you grow.
[1:04:09] Speaker 1: Are we learning?
[1:04:12] Speaker 3: It's like a young child praying to have bed on
[1:04:15] Speaker 3: his face. And says daddy let's pray.
[1:04:18] Speaker 1: Ask God. You say listen my son just grow. does
[1:04:22] Speaker 1: grow and as the.
[1:04:24] Speaker 3: Child eats as he grows spiritually intellectually one day he
[1:04:28] Speaker 3: will get into the reality of teenage one day he
[1:04:31] Speaker 3: will become an adult and the thing he was rushing
[1:04:34] Speaker 3: to enter he becomes tired of it now are we
[1:04:37] Speaker 3: together now praise the name of the lord have you
[1:04:41] Speaker 3: seen someone in a hurry to drive because he wants
[1:04:44] Speaker 3: to attain 18 years by force He's 13, but he says,
[1:04:47] Speaker 3: I can drive.
[1:04:48] Speaker 1: He said, be patient. It's just five more years. Ah,
[1:04:49] Speaker 1: it's too far.
[1:04:51] Speaker 3: Then one day he's now 25 and they say, are
[1:04:53] Speaker 3: you ready to drive? I said, I'm busy. The same
[1:04:55] Speaker 3: person who was itching to drive. Growth is very powerful.
[1:05:00] Speaker 1: Hallelujah. Praise the name of the Lord. Can I tell you,
[1:05:04] Speaker 1: God gives speed, but don't hurry seasons.
[1:05:08] Speaker 3: The season you are in a hurry to enter now,
[1:05:09] Speaker 3: you will miss the one you just left because seasons
[1:05:12] Speaker 3: come with burdens.
[1:05:14] Speaker 1: Seasons come with.
[1:05:15] Speaker 3: Responsibility now that you are not traveling everywhere don't be
[1:05:18] Speaker 3: itching around calling and says there a program for me
[1:05:20] Speaker 3: be patient keep bearing root downward a day will come
[1:05:24] Speaker 3: you will be so stretched in your administration the capacity
[1:05:27] Speaker 3: you built.
[1:05:27] Speaker 1: Yesterday is what will help you survive today.
[1:05:30] Speaker 3: Hallelujah three pillars Number one, prayer pillar. Two, evangelism pillar. Three,
[1:05:40] Speaker 3: discipleship pillar. Number four, the faith pillar. The fourth pillar,
[1:05:45] Speaker 3: the faith pillar. Romans 1.17, the judge shall live by
[1:05:49] Speaker 3: his faith. Hebrews 10.38, the judge shall live by faith.
[1:05:53] Speaker 3: Give us Ephesians 6.16, please. Media, everybody say the faith pillar.
[1:05:59] Speaker 3: Shout it again, say the faith pillar. Very important.
[1:06:04] Speaker 1: The Bible says, above all, Taking the shield of faith,
[1:06:08] Speaker 1: wherein ye shall be able to quench all the fiery
[1:06:11] Speaker 1: darts of the devil.
[1:06:13] Speaker 3: Believers, you must understand the value, the irreplaceable value of
[1:06:19] Speaker 3: faith in the believer's adventure. In fact, the entire walk
[1:06:23] Speaker 3: of the believer is called the faith. Believers need to
[1:06:27] Speaker 3: be trained to trust God. They need to be trained
[1:06:31] Speaker 3: to engage the world. So that it provides profit for them.
[1:06:34] Speaker 3: Everybody say the faith pillar.
[1:06:37] Speaker 1: Hallelujah.
[1:06:38] Speaker 3: If you don't know how to walk by faith. You
[1:06:40] Speaker 3: will not be able to walk in the possibilities of
[1:06:42] Speaker 3: the kingdom.
[1:06:43] Speaker 1: Because everything in this kingdom runs on the economy of faith. Everything.
[1:06:51] Speaker 3: I'm sure that when God gave his lordship this vision.
[1:06:56] Speaker 3: Maybe one day we'll hear him tell us the story
[1:06:58] Speaker 3: of this place. But I know that this was less
[1:07:02] Speaker 3: than a month, the initial structure and.
[1:07:05] Speaker 1: All of that. That's faith.
[1:07:06] Speaker 3: The Bible says, time will fail me to talk of
[1:07:08] Speaker 3: Jephthah and Barak, men who through faith subdued kingdoms. Shut
[1:07:14] Speaker 3: the mouth of lions, wrought righteousness and so on and
[1:07:17] Speaker 3: so forth.
[1:07:17] Speaker 1: It takes faith.
[1:07:18] Speaker 3: There are no guarantees in life. Your guarantee is faith.
[1:07:23] Speaker 3: This is the victory that overcomes the world. Apostle Mayonis,
[1:07:26] Speaker 3: I'm just praying. I know that I've been speaking to
[1:07:29] Speaker 3: my uncle about sponsoring me. My brother, let me save
[1:07:31] Speaker 3: you heart attack. Take your eyes away from your uncle
[1:07:35] Speaker 3: and look unto him. Faith demands absolute trust in God.
[1:07:41] Speaker 3: Faith demands engaging the word of God. Believing that God
[1:07:45] Speaker 3: is able. There are things I've done in my own
[1:07:49] Speaker 3: little walk with God. I know what faith is and
[1:07:52] Speaker 3: I know what it can do. Bible faith delivers.
[1:07:55] Speaker 1: You must learn to walk by faith. Man shall not
[1:07:58] Speaker 1: live by bread alone. Matthew 4.4 But by.
[1:08:01] Speaker 3: Every word that proceeded out of the mouth of God.
[1:08:05] Speaker 3: The Bible says there remained a rest for the people
[1:08:08] Speaker 3: of God. They heard the word just like we did.
[1:08:11] Speaker 3: But the word did not profit them. The real profit
[1:08:14] Speaker 3: of the word comes when you mix it with faith.
[1:08:17] Speaker 3: The real profit of the word of healing. The real
[1:08:19] Speaker 3: profit of the word of advancement comes when you mix
[1:08:22] Speaker 3: it with faith.
[1:08:23] Speaker 1: Now that you know these things, it's a happier you
[1:08:26] Speaker 1: if you do them. The faith pillar. Let's hurry up.
[1:08:34] Speaker 1: Pillar number five. Are you ready? Somebody shout power. The
[1:08:39] Speaker 1: power pillar. Oh the power pillar. Yes sir. Yes sir.
[1:08:44] Speaker 1: A living vibrant apostolic and impactful church must be built
[1:08:51] Speaker 1: on the power pillar.
[1:08:52] Speaker 3: Acts 1 verse 8. You shall receive power and then
[1:08:55] Speaker 3: you will be witnesses. Acts 4 verse 33. With great power.
[1:09:00] Speaker 3: gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord
[1:09:03] Speaker 3: Jesus Christ. Acts 10 verse 38. How God anointed Jesus
[1:09:07] Speaker 3: of Nazareth not just with faith but with power.
[1:09:10] Speaker 1: Someone shout power. Shout it again. Say power. You need
[1:09:15] Speaker 1: power to drive the program of God to fruition. You
[1:09:19] Speaker 1: need power to birth revivals. You need power. Are we together?
[1:09:25] Speaker 3: To keep the powers, the forces of darkness at bay.
[1:09:29] Speaker 3: Being a sincere man of God.
[1:09:31] Speaker 1: Is not enough. Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
[1:09:33] Speaker 3: It takes more than sincerity to drive the program of God.
[1:09:37] Speaker 1: We are sincere.
[1:09:38] Speaker 3: It's not a language hell understands. We are genuine. It's
[1:09:42] Speaker 3: not a language hell understands. Hell only understands the language
[1:09:46] Speaker 3: of power.
[1:09:47] Speaker 1: Say power.
[1:09:47] Speaker 10: Power.
[1:09:49] Speaker 1: The Bible says, Our Lord God, thou hast made the
[1:09:51] Speaker 1: heavens and the earth by thy great power. Psalm 66
[1:09:54] Speaker 1: verse 3.
[1:09:55] Speaker 3: Say unto God, how terrible art thou in all your works.
[1:09:58] Speaker 3: It is through the greatness of your power that your
[1:10:00] Speaker 3: enemies will submit themselves to you.
[1:10:04] Speaker 1: The mountain will not move, sir, until you know how
[1:10:07] Speaker 1: to lift it.
[1:10:08] Speaker 3: And it takes power. I pray for you in the
[1:10:10] Speaker 3: name of Jesus. That before tonight is ended. And before
[1:10:13] Speaker 3: this conference is ended. For someone from heaven.
[1:10:16] Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus.
[1:10:17] Speaker 3: The power required to function. The power required for the hour.
[1:10:22] Speaker 3: May it truly rest on your life.
[1:10:24] Speaker 1: Hallelujah. Power.
[1:10:30] Speaker 3: Supernatural signs and wonders power healings and deliverances power i
[1:10:36] Speaker 3: define power as the force that compels compliance i define
[1:10:41] Speaker 3: power as the capacity to influence outcomes the capacity to influence.
[1:10:49] Speaker 1: Outcomes the force that compels compliance.
[1:10:56] Speaker 3: You need power you need power There is a devil
[1:11:00] Speaker 3: out there on rampage. Wanting to tear your church down.
[1:11:04] Speaker 3: Wanting to tear your reputation down. Wanting to tear your
[1:11:07] Speaker 3: children down. To tear your business down. Beloved brothers and sisters,
[1:11:12] Speaker 3: it takes power. Not just to preach. It takes power
[1:11:15] Speaker 3: to live. Do you know it takes power to not
[1:11:19] Speaker 3: die before your time? It takes power to shut them
[1:11:24] Speaker 3: out of the grave.
[1:11:25] Speaker 1: And say, not now. Not now.
[1:11:30] Speaker 3: Oh, death, where is your sting? Oh, grave, where is
[1:11:33] Speaker 3: your victory? That is the language of power.
[1:11:35] Speaker 1: It's not a suggestion. Hallelujah. Ah, it takes power to
[1:11:41] Speaker 1: define your portion.
[1:11:42] Speaker 3: From the days of John the Baptist and until now,
[1:11:45] Speaker 3: the kingdom suffered violence. I remember one time I was
[1:11:50] Speaker 3: on a journey and someone, great man of God, he called.
[1:11:53] Speaker 1: Me and said, Apostle, please don't travel. I see an accident.
[1:11:58] Speaker 1: An accident, a ghastly motor accident and I saw a crash.
[1:12:02] Speaker 1: Nobody survived it. He said, you're about to travel. I said,
[1:12:04] Speaker 1: you are right. I said, but I must travel. I
[1:12:06] Speaker 1: need to go and pray. He said, please don't go.
[1:12:08] Speaker 1: I said, what then is the value of dominion?
[1:12:11] Speaker 3: Dominion is the ability to use it is written to
[1:12:14] Speaker 3: change what I saw.
[1:12:17] Speaker 1: It is written.
[1:12:17] Speaker 3: It's more powerful than I saw. While we don't despise prophecy,
[1:12:23] Speaker 3: the real value of dominion is seeing it and bringing
[1:12:27] Speaker 3: it to the obedience of Christ. I said, I'm on
[1:12:29] Speaker 3: my way, go ahead please. I have business to do
[1:12:31] Speaker 3: for the kingdom. You know how many times, only God
[1:12:36] Speaker 3: will tell how many times some of our names have
[1:12:38] Speaker 3: been taken everywhere.
[1:12:40] Speaker 1: My goodness, my God.
[1:12:42] Speaker 3: It's only when we get to heaven, we'll know some
[1:12:43] Speaker 3: of the things we have eaten in this life. We
[1:12:45] Speaker 3: ate death in the pot and it nourished our bodies
[1:12:48] Speaker 3: because they shall take up deadly things. let me tell
[1:12:54] Speaker 3: you when we get to the realm of power verify
[1:13:00] Speaker 3: that you are in touch with God so that you
[1:13:02] Speaker 3: don't stand before Pharaoh and die power is not something
[1:13:06] Speaker 3: that you just play around with the people that do
[1:13:09] Speaker 3: know their God for someone in the name of Jesus
[1:13:15] Speaker 3: after this conference you will stand at the gate of
[1:13:19] Speaker 3: your home and you will open your mouth and speak
[1:13:23] Speaker 3: and shift the climate you will speak and shift things in.
[1:13:27] Speaker 1: The name of jesus power send the wind.
[1:13:37] Speaker 3: Apostolic power for signs and wonders demonstrating that there's power
[1:13:42] Speaker 3: in the blood.
[1:13:44] Speaker 1: Time will fail me, my beloved brothers and sisters. Listen.
[1:13:49] Speaker 1: And I say this with all humility.
[1:13:50] Speaker 3: A lot of times people say, ah, people love apostles
[1:13:54] Speaker 3: and they have received apostles across regions. It's not just
[1:13:58] Speaker 3: because of favor. Get that very clear. People have needs.
[1:14:03] Speaker 3: Whoever can solve their problems, they will make you king,
[1:14:07] Speaker 3: even if it's for that moment.
[1:14:09] Speaker 1: Power. When Jesus made bread... Five loaves and two fish
[1:14:14] Speaker 1: to feed 5,000 people. They said, let's make you king now. Now,
[1:14:17] Speaker 1: right now. Right now.
[1:14:19] Speaker 3: We can change our mind tomorrow. But for the sake
[1:14:21] Speaker 3: of that bread now. It takes power to advance. You
[1:14:28] Speaker 3: live a life as if Satan does not exist.
[1:14:31] Speaker 5: Power.
[1:14:33] Speaker 3: He becomes a factor inconsequential. And I'm not just shouting gibberish.
[1:14:38] Speaker 1: Believe me. Oh, come on. I've seen power. I've seen power. Oh,
[1:14:43] Speaker 1: I have seen power. I told you.
[1:14:46] Speaker 3: Yesterday, there needs to be a restoration of power and
[1:14:50] Speaker 3: fire upon the altar. I'm telling you. Signs and wonders.
[1:14:56] Speaker 3: On Monday, you hear that a dead person was raised.
[1:14:58] Speaker 3: On Tuesday, you hear that a cripple was raised. On Wednesday,
[1:15:02] Speaker 3: you hear that a woman who could not feed her children,
[1:15:06] Speaker 3: a stranger just came and gave her.
[1:15:09] Speaker 1: $ 100, 000.
[1:15:09] Speaker 3: Because a prophetic word came. Demonstrations of power. This is
[1:15:17] Speaker 3: how our fathers invited men. Beyond printing poster, let people
[1:15:22] Speaker 3: see that God is alive.
[1:15:25] Speaker 1: Where the carcasses are, the eagles will gather.
[1:15:27] Speaker 3: I can tell you, the reason why we are talking
[1:15:30] Speaker 3: too much is because the power to validate the little
[1:15:34] Speaker 3: is not there. So we have to keep talking to
[1:15:37] Speaker 3: cover up. There is no amount of intellectual presentation that
[1:15:42] Speaker 3: will replace the absence of genuine power.
[1:15:46] Speaker 1: There is a point in your conversation where your rod
[1:15:48] Speaker 1: must continue speaking. After you speak to Pharaoh, let the
[1:15:53] Speaker 1: rod continue the talking. Hallelujah. I made up my mind
[1:15:57] Speaker 1: that I would not just be a man of God
[1:15:59] Speaker 1: sounding doctrine.
[1:16:00] Speaker 3: No, you are delving into terrains. Those days in Zaria,
[1:16:04] Speaker 3: you can imagine Zaria being.
[1:16:06] Speaker 1: A northern place.
[1:16:08] Speaker 3: With all humility, people were coming from across the globe.
[1:16:12] Speaker 3: Define the security situation. The roads were covered for more
[1:16:17] Speaker 3: than a decade. The week of the miracle service, you
[1:16:21] Speaker 3: hardly find a hotel that was available. The hotels that
[1:16:24] Speaker 3: were about closing, they were resuscitated because people who come.
[1:16:28] Speaker 1: To stay there. Power driving the economy of every territory.
[1:16:35] Speaker 1: Let your power, Holy Ghost power, rest on me, rest
[1:16:42] Speaker 1: on me. Let your power, Holy Ghost power, Rest on me. Listen. Oh.
[1:16:59] Speaker 1: Power has come. Oh. Genuine power.
[1:17:13] Speaker 3: Let's not watch the sick go back and then we
[1:17:17] Speaker 3: say God heals and the sick person is listening. Let's
[1:17:20] Speaker 3: not watch oppressed people go. It doesn't have to be
[1:17:24] Speaker 3: a special healing service. You are an embodiment of power.
[1:17:29] Speaker 3: That on Sunday. This Sunday.
[1:17:31] Speaker 1: Not the next one. This one that is coming.
[1:17:34] Speaker 3: By the time you hold the mic. You don't have
[1:17:36] Speaker 3: to say I'm praying for the sick.
[1:17:38] Speaker 1: You are speaking on fire. From heaven falls upon the altar. Hallelujah.
[1:17:49] Speaker 1: I've seen what the power of God can do.
[1:17:52] Speaker 3: I've seen the shock on the faces of people as
[1:17:55] Speaker 3: they watch the cripples rise. You know that these are
[1:17:58] Speaker 3: people who ordinarily, they are very intelligent, very calculated. How
[1:18:04] Speaker 3: does a man who came to church on a stretcher
[1:18:07] Speaker 3: or carry or came on chains, they bound that person,
[1:18:11] Speaker 3: a madman.
[1:18:12] Speaker 1: In one moment, the chain is loose and he's running around.
[1:18:16] Speaker 1: Come on now.
[1:18:17] Speaker 3: There are some things you cannot argue when you see
[1:18:20] Speaker 3: the power of God made visible in the world of men.
[1:18:24] Speaker 3: Someone pray in one minute and say, Lord, greater power,
[1:18:28] Speaker 3: greater power.
[1:18:32] Speaker 1: Please pray that prayer. Power for signs and wonders. Power
[1:18:45] Speaker 1: to host and drive the move of the Spirit. power
[1:18:54] Speaker 1: yes sir we cry for power power among the youth.
[1:18:59] Speaker 3: Power among pastors power for businessmen power for mothers for students.
[1:19:09] Speaker 1: In Jesus name we pray Please be seated. Shortly we'll
[1:19:13] Speaker 1: arise again.
[1:19:15] Speaker 3: This time around when we rise to pray, please enlarge
[1:19:18] Speaker 3: your capacity to receive. Some of you, this is why
[1:19:21] Speaker 3: God sent you here. Because the next five years, your
[1:19:25] Speaker 3: next apostolic journey... Hold him so he doesn't injure himself.
[1:19:28] Speaker 1: Hold him. Genuine apostolic power.
[1:19:42] Speaker 3: It's time to be on fire.
[1:19:50] Speaker 1: That your words will be like the word of God.
[1:19:56] Speaker 3: Young people, it's time to carry power. Genuine power. Power
[1:20:01] Speaker 3: for signs and wonders. To shake your campus. To shake
[1:20:05] Speaker 3: your campus. Mantles of power. Mantles of grace. I see
[1:20:15] Speaker 3: them resting in this place. The mantles of wisdom. The
[1:20:23] Speaker 3: mantles of favor.
[1:20:26] Speaker 1: I see them resting in this place. Sing oh. I
[1:20:38] Speaker 1: see them resting in this place.
[1:20:45] Speaker 3: I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh. And
[1:20:48] Speaker 3: your sons and daughters. Your young men. Even upon your maid,
[1:20:53] Speaker 3: the maid servant. Gentlemen, lift your hands. I'm seeing light
[1:20:57] Speaker 3: come upon you.
[1:20:58] Speaker 1: That boy. This one. Yes, you. I just saw fire
[1:21:03] Speaker 1: resting on that gentleman. In the name of Jesus, I
[1:21:06] Speaker 1: pray for you. May God use you mightily. Mightily.
[1:21:10] Speaker 9: Take that fire.
[1:21:11] Speaker 1: Mightily. Please be seated. Please be seated. Please be seated.
[1:21:22] Speaker 1: We have to rush. The cloud is stirred. Stirred. Stirred.
[1:21:30] Speaker 1: number six i have to rush the sixth pillar is
[1:21:37] Speaker 1: the pillar of value and productivity.
[1:21:41] Speaker 3: The church must be built on the pillar of value
[1:21:45] Speaker 3: and productivity power is important.
[1:21:48] Speaker 1: But there needs to be a display.
[1:21:50] Speaker 3: Of value and usefulness let me define value for you
[1:21:54] Speaker 3: your capacity.
[1:21:58] Speaker 1: To use the giftings, the skill and the ability.
[1:22:01] Speaker 3: That God has given you to provide solutions, to answer questions,
[1:22:07] Speaker 3: to meet needs.
[1:22:08] Speaker 1: Are we together? To provide solutions, to answer questions, to
[1:22:14] Speaker 1: meet needs. A church that is not valuable to society.
[1:22:22] Speaker 1: Will remain a beggarly church. And a church that cannot advance.
[1:22:27] Speaker 1: Let me tell you the truth. Men will come. Because
[1:22:30] Speaker 1: of the solutions we carry. He says Gentiles shall come.
[1:22:34] Speaker 1: Not to you. To your light. And their kings to
[1:22:37] Speaker 1: the brightness of your rising.
[1:22:40] Speaker 3: Hallelujah we must raise men and women who are not
[1:22:43] Speaker 3: just anointed but they are valuable that will be the
[1:22:47] Speaker 3: key to them becoming do you know the economic emancipation
[1:22:51] Speaker 3: of the church depends on productivity not just godliness godliness
[1:22:57] Speaker 3: is wonderful but you must add productivity to godliness There
[1:23:05] Speaker 3: are many consecrated people in church who are beggarly. There
[1:23:09] Speaker 3: are many consecrated people in church who cannot take care
[1:23:11] Speaker 3: of their children. They are a burden to society. Nobody
[1:23:15] Speaker 3: will come to.
[1:23:16] Speaker 1: A church where they are not being trained.
[1:23:19] Speaker 3: I heard the bishop, his lordship, talk about a few
[1:23:23] Speaker 3: things that attend to the area of economy.
[1:23:26] Speaker 1: God builds people holistically. Are we together? I believe in
[1:23:32] Speaker 1: being valuable.
[1:23:33] Speaker 3: Not just spiritually valuable, intellectually valuable.
[1:23:38] Speaker 1: The church is not a place of dummies. The church
[1:23:41] Speaker 1: is not a place.
[1:23:42] Speaker 3: Of losers that converge themselves to console themselves using the.
[1:23:46] Speaker 1: Guise of spirituality. Excellence should come from the church. Wisdom
[1:23:51] Speaker 1: should proceed from the church. Are we together? A culture
[1:23:55] Speaker 1: of value should come from the church.
[1:23:58] Speaker 3: The best and the finest minds in business, in governance
[1:24:02] Speaker 3: should come from the church.
[1:24:06] Speaker 1: When we teach people to disrespect knowledge, when we teach
[1:24:09] Speaker 1: people to disrespect skill, when we teach people to disrespect
[1:24:13] Speaker 1: competence because of factors.
[1:24:15] Speaker 3: Like favor, we are deceiving them. Favor is not all unmerited.
[1:24:20] Speaker 3: There is a dimension of favor that is merited. The
[1:24:23] Speaker 3: Bible says in Proverbs 13, 15, it says, good understanding
[1:24:27] Speaker 3: procured favor, but the way of the transgressor is hard.
[1:24:32] Speaker 3: there are many young people in church today bishop if
[1:24:35] Speaker 3: you ask them how do you plan to take care
[1:24:37] Speaker 3: of your children they say god will do it that
[1:24:40] Speaker 3: sounds like a spiritual statement that's a marketing of irresponsibility
[1:24:45] Speaker 3: the church is a place where you turn lazy people
[1:24:48] Speaker 3: to become responsible people i will never raise a congregation
[1:24:52] Speaker 3: of people who are just godly alone you have to
[1:24:55] Speaker 3: be productive productive And the more pastors, the more we
[1:25:01] Speaker 3: inculcate the culture of productivity, the more people stop giving
[1:25:05] Speaker 3: us headache. You can't pay everybody's rent for them, no
[1:25:09] Speaker 3: matter how kind you are, but they can be empowered.
[1:25:12] Speaker 1: Let me tell you something for an example.
[1:25:14] Speaker 3: Did you know that being valuable is the official pathway
[1:25:18] Speaker 3: to economic emancipation? There are other factors, but being valuable.
[1:25:23] Speaker 3: Away with all this superstition around the idea of money.
[1:25:27] Speaker 3: There is a grace that brings wealth, but there is.
[1:25:29] Speaker 1: A science to wealth. It's a learned skill. Productivity. I
[1:25:38] Speaker 1: detest irresponsibility.
[1:25:39] Speaker 3: Nobody around me remains as an irresponsible person.
[1:25:43] Speaker 1: No. That one everybody knows.
[1:25:45] Speaker 3: Once you are around me, you must justify the investment
[1:25:49] Speaker 3: of wisdom, trust, knowledge by being productive.
[1:25:52] Speaker 1: Productivity.
[1:25:53] Speaker 3: Are we Bible students? Matthew 25, he gave unto one
[1:25:56] Speaker 3: five talents. He gave unto one two talents. He gave
[1:26:00] Speaker 3: unto one one talent. They were not just preying on
[1:26:03] Speaker 3: their talent. The one who foolishly kept his talent was
[1:26:07] Speaker 3: rebuked as a wicked and an unprofitable servant. When God
[1:26:12] Speaker 3: gives you the skills, the talents, he expects profit. The
[1:26:16] Speaker 3: one who is the epitome of consecration and godliness expects profit.
[1:26:22] Speaker 1: He came back and said, what have you done with
[1:26:23] Speaker 1: the five? Five more. Excellent. You, two. Two more. Excellent. You, one.
[1:26:31] Speaker 3: I know you are a hard man. You like reaping
[1:26:33] Speaker 3: where you don't sow. You didn't sow.
[1:26:35] Speaker 1: So I just taught. Do you know the average believer's
[1:26:40] Speaker 1: understanding about how he will meet his needs?
[1:26:43] Speaker 3: It's God who do it or God who raise somebody
[1:26:46] Speaker 3: and stop the person from sleeping. Do you know there
[1:26:49] Speaker 3: is a dimension of that prayer that is positive? But
[1:26:52] Speaker 3: when that kind of prayer meets an irresponsible heart, it
[1:26:55] Speaker 3: becomes witchcraft.
[1:26:57] Speaker 1: That somebody labored, are we together? Yes. Somebody labored, built
[1:27:04] Speaker 1: his business and is sleeping.
[1:27:06] Speaker 3: And then you say, just because you think you're a
[1:27:08] Speaker 3: child of God, the person should not sleep and wake
[1:27:11] Speaker 3: up till he finds you to bless you. Now there
[1:27:13] Speaker 3: is a dimension of that prayer where you are provoking
[1:27:16] Speaker 3: destiny helpers. But there is a dimension of that prayer
[1:27:19] Speaker 3: that meets laziness and becomes equal to witchcraft. You pray
[1:27:25] Speaker 3: that kind of prayer on me, it will backfire on
[1:27:26] Speaker 3: you for sure.
[1:27:28] Speaker 1: A man cannot labor diligently. You are too proud to
[1:27:31] Speaker 1: go and learn work under him.
[1:27:33] Speaker 3: You are too proud to build capacity. You are too
[1:27:36] Speaker 3: proud to go for trainings. All kinds of capacity building
[1:27:40] Speaker 3: programs are happening around the east. You don't attend.
[1:27:43] Speaker 1: And you just sit and say, God, I know you
[1:27:45] Speaker 1: are the God who loves me. No, sir.
[1:27:48] Speaker 3: Godliness is not a license to irresponsibility. God is a
[1:27:51] Speaker 3: miracle worker, not a magician. The difference between miracles and
[1:27:58] Speaker 3: magic is that magic is based on superstition and sorcery.
[1:28:03] Speaker 3: Miracles are based on diligence and the working.
[1:28:05] Speaker 1: Of the word. Please let me challenge all the men here.
[1:28:10] Speaker 3: There is no godly man who should sit down, cross
[1:28:13] Speaker 3: his leg, get up in the morning, in addition to prayer,
[1:28:16] Speaker 3: go and be valuable. There's a difference between work and productivity.
[1:28:21] Speaker 3: Work talks about a dissipation of energy.
[1:28:24] Speaker 1: Productivity talks about a systemic dissipation of energy.
[1:28:28] Speaker 3: So that it brings you profit. Beyond a worker, be productive.
[1:28:32] Speaker 3: There are many people working.
[1:28:34] Speaker 1: Ambrobers work. Are we together? Beggars work.
[1:28:40] Speaker 3: Is what brings profit it's not money learning i made
[1:28:43] Speaker 3: up my mind as a man of god that by
[1:28:45] Speaker 3: the message of god i will be valuable to my
[1:28:48] Speaker 3: world beyond the scope of the pulpit so my relevance
[1:28:51] Speaker 3: does not just stop at The pulpit.
[1:28:55] Speaker 1: By the message of God, I speak to kings.
[1:28:58] Speaker 3: I advise leaders at a governmental level.
[1:29:01] Speaker 1: It's not just ministry. It's not just tossing at the Lord.
[1:29:04] Speaker 1: This is the way of wisdom. Don't just be the
[1:29:10] Speaker 1: person who opens prayers and ends prayer. Be valuable.
[1:29:14] Speaker 3: Let businessmen need you. Let captains of industry need you.
[1:29:18] Speaker 3: He says all men seek for you.
[1:29:21] Speaker 1: Hallelujah. Productivity. Some of you, by reason of this teaching,
[1:29:25] Speaker 1: go and buy books. Get materials.
[1:29:28] Speaker 3: The next time a capacity building session is happening around
[1:29:31] Speaker 3: the East.
[1:29:32] Speaker 1: Pay the price to attend it. Don't be too proud.
[1:29:35] Speaker 1: Are we together? Growth is not a gift. It is engineered. Capacity.
[1:29:42] Speaker 3: Build leadership capacity. Build financial intelligence. build organization a man
[1:29:49] Speaker 3: of 50 still called a child and he believes he's
[1:29:52] Speaker 3: a child nine-year-olds who don't know god 10-year-olds they are
[1:30:00] Speaker 3: building apps they are building companies eateries owned by teenagers
[1:30:07] Speaker 3: that are running to the millions of dollars per annum
[1:30:10] Speaker 3: in revenue And they are the ones who are praying
[1:30:14] Speaker 3: that they should not sleep and should send money to us.
[1:30:17] Speaker 1: You see our understanding? Let's not waste the ministry of
[1:30:24] Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit.
[1:30:25] Speaker 3: I made up my mind as a man of God
[1:30:27] Speaker 3: that I will never depend on any church member to
[1:30:30] Speaker 3: take care of my needs.
[1:30:32] Speaker 1: God can use them, but I have a mind that
[1:30:34] Speaker 1: is alive. I'm not prospering because I'm a man of God.
[1:30:38] Speaker 1: I'm prospering because I'm valuable to my world.
[1:30:47] Speaker 3: You see all this, where are all this my content people,
[1:30:50] Speaker 3: social media, all this my people, where are you? Do
[1:30:53] Speaker 3: you know there are people today who are being hired by.
[1:30:57] Speaker 1: Companies and paid six figures to be able.
[1:31:00] Speaker 3: To help their branding and their image management? Because there
[1:31:03] Speaker 3: are four aspects to leadership. There is self or image management.
[1:31:08] Speaker 1: Are we together? There is people management. There is vision
[1:31:13] Speaker 1: or project management. And then there is resource management. And
[1:31:18] Speaker 1: there are people who are being raised to do all
[1:31:21] Speaker 1: of this.
[1:31:22] Speaker 3: There are people who are working remotely and are earning
[1:31:26] Speaker 3: tens of thousands of dollars because of their capacity.
[1:31:30] Speaker 1: Don't say I studied this, nobody's employing me. Re-engineer yourself.
[1:31:34] Speaker 3: God, the value of praying in the secret place is
[1:31:38] Speaker 3: that you download intelligence that you can use in the marketplace.
[1:31:42] Speaker 1: Say secret place. Say marketplace. Say secret place. Say marketplace.
[1:31:48] Speaker 1: Say priest. Say king. Say priest. Say king.
[1:31:54] Speaker 3: Melchizedek priest of the most high king of Salem priest
[1:31:59] Speaker 3: of the most high king of Salem priest of the
[1:32:03] Speaker 3: most high king of the text place a prayer warrior
[1:32:07] Speaker 3: but a giant in business a prayer warrior but an
[1:32:11] Speaker 3: authority in.
[1:32:11] Speaker 1: The academia that's the model of apostolic Christianity if you
[1:32:17] Speaker 1: are a priest alone you will be a slave when
[1:32:20] Speaker 1: there is famine Jacob was a priest.
[1:32:24] Speaker 3: But when there was hunger, they went to Egypt to
[1:32:27] Speaker 3: eat and became slaves there. So do not just be
[1:32:30] Speaker 3: a priest unto God. You must gain dominion within a territory.
[1:32:35] Speaker 3: Is somebody learning?
[1:32:43] Speaker 1: And I mean what I'm saying. Pastors, go back. After
[1:32:46] Speaker 1: you are done organizing revival programs, organize capacity building programs.
[1:32:52] Speaker 1: Bring all the young men in the church for three days.
[1:32:55] Speaker 1: Get professionals to come and camp with them. Some people
[1:32:59] Speaker 1: can create welfare snacks or whatever and sit with them.
[1:33:02] Speaker 1: Get the finest of minds from the east. Put them together.
[1:33:07] Speaker 1: And begin to train them. Show them the way of profit.
[1:33:10] Speaker 1: Show them the way to build businesses that last. Show
[1:33:14] Speaker 1: them the way to scale your value. These are learned abilities.
[1:33:18] Speaker 1: Then when you are done, impart the grace upon them.
[1:33:21] Speaker 1: And now send them.
[1:33:22] Speaker 3: You have produced a productive congregation. We have to hurry up.
[1:33:37] Speaker 3: Number seven. The seventh pillar.
[1:33:41] Speaker 1: I'm giving you ten. We're almost there.
[1:33:43] Speaker 3: The seventh pillar for an impactful church, an apostolic church,
[1:33:50] Speaker 3: is the influence pillar. Rise into positions of influence and leadership.
[1:33:56] Speaker 3: So that you become part of the stakeholders and the
[1:34:00] Speaker 3: power brokers within a territory. For far too long, the
[1:34:04] Speaker 3: church has not been taught the relevance of influence. And
[1:34:07] Speaker 3: we have become slaves in our own territory. Can I
[1:34:10] Speaker 3: tell you, whoever makes the rules controls the territory. Believers
[1:34:15] Speaker 3: must have representations across strategic, socio-economic and governmental quotas. The
[1:34:22] Speaker 3: kingdom does not just advance by evangelism alone. The kingdom
[1:34:26] Speaker 3: advances by influence.
[1:34:28] Speaker 1: Influence.
[1:34:29] Speaker 3: It took a man of influence to bring the body
[1:34:32] Speaker 3: of Jesus down from the cross. Not just a prayer warrior.
[1:34:37] Speaker 3: When the body of Jesus was hanging on the cross.
[1:34:40] Speaker 1: It took a man of influence called Joseph of Arimathea
[1:34:44] Speaker 1: to negotiate with the government and say, this man is
[1:34:46] Speaker 1: already dead.
[1:34:47] Speaker 3: Give me his body. I have the tomb to keep there.
[1:34:51] Speaker 3: It was because of that man's influence today we can say,
[1:34:53] Speaker 3: oh grave, where is your sting? Else they would have
[1:34:56] Speaker 3: left Jesus on the tree there. Influence played a role.
[1:35:01] Speaker 1: In your salvation. Don't ignore it. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. I believe
[1:35:06] Speaker 1: in influence, so don't reject it. I believe in kingdom influence.
[1:35:12] Speaker 1: Kingdom influence.
[1:35:13] Speaker 3: I have seen what the correct use of influence can
[1:35:16] Speaker 3: do to the kingdom.
[1:35:17] Speaker 1: By the grace of God.
[1:35:19] Speaker 3: God has granted us an elevated platform.
[1:35:22] Speaker 1: He's given us a global platform.
[1:35:24] Speaker 3: And through that platform, we have mentored kings and nations.
[1:35:29] Speaker 1: Literally.
[1:35:30] Speaker 3: Every week I have the honor and the profound privilege...
[1:35:35] Speaker 3: To speak the life, the wisdom and the counsel of
[1:35:38] Speaker 3: the spirit to a heterogeneous distribution of people across the globe.
[1:35:44] Speaker 3: Don't downplay influence. Don't allow small minded people who don't
[1:35:48] Speaker 3: understand the kingdom throw away the power of influence. Blessed
[1:35:53] Speaker 3: is the nation whose God is the Lord. It's one
[1:35:59] Speaker 3: of the reasons why God continues to help you, the
[1:36:02] Speaker 3: east of the Niger, that many of your people, the
[1:36:06] Speaker 3: power brokers, even if it's religiously, at least they associate
[1:36:10] Speaker 3: with God and associate with the Christian faith. Pray that
[1:36:13] Speaker 3: there will not be a generation of wealthy and vibrant
[1:36:16] Speaker 3: people who hate God because the youth will start following
[1:36:19] Speaker 3: after them. By the time a millionaire is rolling on
[1:36:23] Speaker 3: the ground and worshipping God, the one who is trying
[1:36:26] Speaker 3: to look for a job in his office, what do
[1:36:28] Speaker 3: you think he will do? He will also roll on
[1:36:30] Speaker 3: the ground and say, ah, if I'm trying to look
[1:36:31] Speaker 3: for a job here, and the person who is the
[1:36:34] Speaker 3: power broker, the stakeholder, is bowing.
[1:36:37] Speaker 1: Before the Lord, I better bow too.
[1:36:41] Speaker 3: It's easy to change a generation when you can influence them.
[1:36:46] Speaker 1: And the first key to influence is to get the
[1:36:49] Speaker 1: attention of that generation. You cannot influence a people whose
[1:36:52] Speaker 1: attention you don't get. Hmm. Someone is going to be
[1:36:57] Speaker 1: receiving the hear ye him anointing tonight. Oh yes, there
[1:37:01] Speaker 1: is such an anointing as the hear ye him anointing.
[1:37:04] Speaker 1: It's the grace that helps you to command the attention of.
[1:37:08] Speaker 3: A generation so that they listen to you and become
[1:37:11] Speaker 3: obedient to the faith.
[1:37:14] Speaker 1: Everybody say the influence pillar.
[1:37:22] Speaker 3: So that when we are calling on the great people
[1:37:25] Speaker 3: who come from Anambra, who come from Enugu, you will
[1:37:29] Speaker 3: find a lot of believers that they can gather in
[1:37:32] Speaker 3: a business meeting and say, let us pray.
[1:37:36] Speaker 1: And nobody will say, let us pray. We are not
[1:37:38] Speaker 1: in church. We will say, if you don't, please go out. We,
[1:37:41] Speaker 1: it was God that brought us here. Let us pray.
[1:37:48] Speaker 3: There are certain Middle Eastern nations, bishops, During their fasting period,
[1:37:53] Speaker 3: because of their spiritual conviction, even those who travel to
[1:37:57] Speaker 3: those nations for business, the restaurants are shut. You must
[1:38:00] Speaker 3: fast too. They don't care who you are or what
[1:38:03] Speaker 3: you believe. You came to get value from them. They
[1:38:07] Speaker 3: are the custodians of that value. You must obey what
[1:38:10] Speaker 3: they believe about their God. Believers are too apologetic for
[1:38:15] Speaker 3: being in Christ. And the reason is because we don't
[1:38:18] Speaker 3: have too much. So we are afraid. If I add
[1:38:21] Speaker 3: Jesus to this one, they will now drive me. So
[1:38:24] Speaker 3: you must become a power broker. By power broker, I
[1:38:27] Speaker 3: don't mean it in a lossful way you must become
[1:38:29] Speaker 3: a stakeholder in matters of governance matters of economy let
[1:38:34] Speaker 3: me pray for you from my heart that out of
[1:38:36] Speaker 3: this gathering that next year by this time multi-billionaires i'm
[1:38:41] Speaker 3: telling you multi-billionaires will arise for the kingdom. I'm saying
[1:38:47] Speaker 3: it unapologetically.
[1:38:49] Speaker 1: Multi-billionaires for the kingdom. Hallelujah. For the kingdom.
[1:39:00] Speaker 3: That you will be so wealthy and yet it will
[1:39:03] Speaker 3: not change you. You will show believers how to manage
[1:39:06] Speaker 3: the resources of the kingdom without being compromised by it.
[1:39:10] Speaker 3: That the next time we are preparing. You will meet Bishop.
[1:39:13] Speaker 3: And say what does it take for refinance fire conference.
[1:39:16] Speaker 3: Please write the entire budget for me. And just give
[1:39:19] Speaker 3: me the account. Just pray and prepare. I know that
[1:39:23] Speaker 3: some of you. And I'm speaking prophetically. It won't be
[1:39:26] Speaker 3: long from now. God will help you. In the name
[1:39:29] Speaker 3: of Jesus Christ.
[1:39:35] Speaker 1: Some of you here will be so empowered. You will
[1:39:37] Speaker 1: buy hectares of land and build a low-cost housing estate
[1:39:42] Speaker 1: and tell believers it's an advantage. Come, I reduce the
[1:39:45] Speaker 1: price to 50% because I want to empower believers. I'll
[1:39:52] Speaker 1: tell you something before we pray. I will mention the business.
[1:39:57] Speaker 1: Your Lordship, there's a particular business in this nation. This
[1:40:01] Speaker 1: happened not too long. That company packed up. Because they
[1:40:05] Speaker 1: were losing.
[1:40:07] Speaker 3: And they sold it to the Chinese. Not too long.
[1:40:11] Speaker 3: In two months, they had a profit of 46 billion.
[1:40:17] Speaker 3: From that same company that was backing up.
[1:40:20] Speaker 1: You know what?
[1:40:21] Speaker 3: As soon as they bought it. They announced to their
[1:40:24] Speaker 3: entire network.
[1:40:25] Speaker 1: Of business people. They said we need to get this
[1:40:28] Speaker 1: company back up. So all of you.
[1:40:30] Speaker 3: You must buy this product. And they brought the idea
[1:40:33] Speaker 3: of commonwealth. And in two months the company came back.
[1:40:38] Speaker 1: But believers.
[1:40:39] Speaker 3: Who say kill this one. Be the one to bring
[1:40:43] Speaker 3: him down. And then we stand alone. And every arrow
[1:40:46] Speaker 3: hits you. because we do not know the power of nationhood.
[1:40:51] Speaker 3: The devil has deceived us into thinking if someone is
[1:40:54] Speaker 3: also rising just like you, he's a threat to you.
[1:40:57] Speaker 3: So we sponsor the killing of ourselves, the killing of
[1:41:00] Speaker 3: our businesses.
[1:41:01] Speaker 1: The killing of our ministries.
[1:41:03] Speaker 3: We keep kissing ourselves with the Judas kiss while we
[1:41:06] Speaker 3: think it is brotherhood.
[1:41:08] Speaker 1: It's a sign to the enemy. This is the one
[1:41:09] Speaker 1: to bring down.
[1:41:10] Speaker 9: Hallelujah.
[1:41:14] Speaker 1: Are we learning?
[1:41:16] Speaker 3: Productivity lay your hand on your head and say the
[1:41:19] Speaker 3: grace to be productive i receive right now turn it
[1:41:22] Speaker 3: into prayer in one minute the grace to be productive.
[1:41:27] Speaker 1: Solution driven value driven.
[1:41:31] Speaker 3: And then influence say father lift me higher lift me
[1:41:36] Speaker 3: higher lift me higher for the sake of your kingdom
[1:41:39] Speaker 3: give me visibility access within the strata of human activities.
[1:41:47] Speaker 1: In Jesus name we pray. Hallelujah.
[1:41:53] Speaker 3: Believers must get into politics. But they must be believers indeed.
[1:41:56] Speaker 3: Not people who come and lie to us. And then
[1:41:59] Speaker 3: have us vote them. Then turn and become like the devil.
[1:42:03] Speaker 3: Genuine people who love Jesus. Who desire change. Believers must
[1:42:09] Speaker 3: be involved in business. Policy formulation.
[1:42:13] Speaker 1: Hallelujah. Not everybody needs to be on the pulpit to
[1:42:16] Speaker 1: be a witness. That idea of saying, ah, you are
[1:42:20] Speaker 1: so prayerful, it looks like you are a pastor. No.
[1:42:22] Speaker 3: You can be so prayerful, but your destiny is Daniel,
[1:42:25] Speaker 3: the politician. Don't always think zeal and prayer must end
[1:42:29] Speaker 3: up in pulpit. There are many politicians, listen to me,
[1:42:33] Speaker 3: help those under the anointing. There are many politicians who
[1:42:37] Speaker 3: are on the pulpit struggling to preach. When they stand,
[1:42:40] Speaker 3: they preach as if they are in national.
[1:42:42] Speaker 1: Assembly because they are supposed to be there. The grace
[1:42:45] Speaker 1: they are using on the pulpit is for the National Assembly.
[1:42:48] Speaker 1: You hear them talking as if they are talking to
[1:42:50] Speaker 1: a parliament. Eyes. And people say you are in church.
[1:42:53] Speaker 1: And they forget.
[1:42:54] Speaker 3: Because their destiny is calling for politics. But someone told
[1:42:57] Speaker 3: them their zeal must end up on the pulpit. God
[1:43:00] Speaker 3: is raising witnesses. Not just pastors. Pastors are a class
[1:43:04] Speaker 3: of witnesses.
[1:43:05] Speaker 1: But not the only one. Number eight. The eighth pillar.
[1:43:13] Speaker 1: Havala tuskia. The eighth pillar. Are you ready?
[1:43:21] Speaker 3: That makes a vibrant church. An apostolic church. And an
[1:43:26] Speaker 3: impactful church. Is the pillar of corporate social responsibility. The
[1:43:34] Speaker 3: pillar of corporate social responsibility.
[1:43:39] Speaker 1: Any church. That does not reach out to its community.
[1:43:43] Speaker 1: To make them better. Cannot affect them. Galatians 6.10. Please
[1:43:47] Speaker 1: give it to us media. Let's hurry up. So that
[1:43:49] Speaker 1: we can wrap up.
[1:43:50] Speaker 3: Galatians 6 and verse 10. Someone behind the desk.
[1:43:56] Speaker 1: The Bible says. As we therefore have an opportunity. Read
[1:44:00] Speaker 1: with me. It says. Let us do good to how
[1:44:03] Speaker 1: many men? Only Christians. Only Christians.
[1:44:06] Speaker 3: All men, especially them who are of the household of faith.
[1:44:13] Speaker 3: Community development programs.
[1:44:16] Speaker 1: Very important. 1 Timothy chapter 6, 17 to 19. 1
[1:44:20] Speaker 1: Timothy 6, 17 to 19. By the message of God,
[1:44:26] Speaker 1: we have programs for the prisons and the inmates.
[1:44:29] Speaker 3: We've been doing this for years. By the grace of God,
[1:44:32] Speaker 3: we have programs, medical outreaches. We work in partnership with
[1:44:37] Speaker 3: our consultants, get them together, our medical team, by the
[1:44:41] Speaker 3: grace of God.
[1:44:42] Speaker 1: We have not just crusades for signs and wonders.
[1:44:46] Speaker 3: There are programs that communicate the love of Jesus to people.
[1:44:51] Speaker 3: Let me tell you, those days in Zaria, when we
[1:44:54] Speaker 3: are doing programs, there are families that because they are non-Christians,
[1:44:57] Speaker 3: their husbands cannot allow them to come to church.
[1:45:00] Speaker 1: They may just stand from afar.
[1:45:02] Speaker 3: But once it is a feeding program, They will wear
[1:45:05] Speaker 3: their hijab and come and sit down.
[1:45:06] Speaker 1: Praise the Lord. Hallelujah. Because there's food on the table.
[1:45:10] Speaker 3: The way you preach to a hungry man is to
[1:45:13] Speaker 3: put the gospel in between a loaf of bread and
[1:45:15] Speaker 3: then give it to him. corporate social responsibility there are
[1:45:22] Speaker 3: churches that are large within a territory there's no borehole
[1:45:27] Speaker 3: within that territory they don't build it but they say
[1:45:30] Speaker 3: come Jesus will change your life they say Jesus did
[1:45:32] Speaker 3: not change our community and you want him to change
[1:45:35] Speaker 3: our lives there are five widows none of those widows
[1:45:39] Speaker 3: have received a one bag of rice for the 10
[1:45:42] Speaker 3: years of the church there The Bible said, charge them
[1:45:46] Speaker 3: that are rich in this world, that they should not
[1:45:49] Speaker 3: be high-minded, nor trusting on certain riches, but in the
[1:45:52] Speaker 3: living God, who giveth richly all things to enjoy.
[1:45:55] Speaker 1: Verse 18, that they may do good, that they may
[1:45:59] Speaker 1: be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate.
[1:46:05] Speaker 1: You see that?
[1:46:06] Speaker 3: Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against
[1:46:10] Speaker 3: the time to come, that they may lay hold on
[1:46:13] Speaker 3: eternal life. As much as God gives me grace, it's
[1:46:17] Speaker 3: been now close to, I hope I'm not exaggerating, maybe
[1:46:22] Speaker 3: getting not less than 15 years, getting to two decades now.
[1:46:26] Speaker 1: I've actively been involved. And I'm not just saying this
[1:46:28] Speaker 1: to brag.
[1:46:30] Speaker 3: There are people we have raised from primary school till
[1:46:33] Speaker 3: postgraduate by the message of God. By the message of God. Listen,
[1:46:40] Speaker 3: you can't do everything, but you can start from somewhere.
[1:46:45] Speaker 3: Gather the young people, listen, gather the young people in
[1:46:49] Speaker 3: a church and tell them on Saturday, go to the
[1:46:52] Speaker 3: house of the chief of that community, weed the grass
[1:46:55] Speaker 3: in his compound.
[1:46:56] Speaker 1: Just weed the grass. Are we together?
[1:46:59] Speaker 3: And buy a pack of water and say, chief, we
[1:47:02] Speaker 3: just came, we are from this church.
[1:47:04] Speaker 1: We have been taught to be responsible. We came to
[1:47:07] Speaker 1: honor you. Impact is not.
[1:47:09] Speaker 3: About doing too many things. It's about doing something. You
[1:47:13] Speaker 3: may not have all the money, young people. There are
[1:47:16] Speaker 3: many clothes in our houses we will never use.
[1:47:19] Speaker 1: Why don't you gather them? During one weekend, take it
[1:47:22] Speaker 1: to the widows, take it to young people around. Empowerment programs.
[1:47:27] Speaker 1: I am a firm believer in corporate social responsibility.
[1:47:32] Speaker 3: You don't have to be a billionaire. You just have
[1:47:35] Speaker 3: to be passionate about your society.
[1:47:36] Speaker 1: Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Don't have a church within a place and
[1:47:43] Speaker 1: the police station there. They've never seen anything from you.
[1:47:47] Speaker 1: Even during Christmas.
[1:47:49] Speaker 3: Where till today, back in Zaria, once it's Easter or
[1:47:54] Speaker 3: Salah or whatever, the people rejoice. Because they know a
[1:47:58] Speaker 3: car will come or rice will come or whatever it is.
[1:48:02] Speaker 3: Many years ago in the prison in Zaria there, they
[1:48:05] Speaker 3: didn't have a borehole.
[1:48:07] Speaker 1: The prisoners will have to go out. And I said no.
[1:48:09] Speaker 3: Today by the message of God. That is a thing
[1:48:12] Speaker 3: of the past. In my own locality where I come from.
[1:48:16] Speaker 3: By the message of God. We're on a project.
[1:48:18] Speaker 1: I don't know how many we've done now. We're halfway. gone.
[1:48:20] Speaker 3: But we're building a number of portals across all the chiefdoms.
[1:48:24] Speaker 3: There are people we have carried and they're on all
[1:48:28] Speaker 3: kinds of scholarships and educational programs. So it's not just
[1:48:32] Speaker 3: that you're a man of God, it's that you are
[1:48:34] Speaker 3: making a difference with your life. When I was invited
[1:48:41] Speaker 3: to speak at Harvard University, I taught them the power
[1:48:45] Speaker 3: of one.
[1:48:45] Speaker 1: I said great.
[1:48:47] Speaker 3: Impact is one person at a time. If you remove
[1:48:52] Speaker 3: one from one million, it cannot be called one million again.
[1:48:55] Speaker 3: It is called 999. So that one matters. You are
[1:48:59] Speaker 3: that one. Don't wait until you see one million. You
[1:49:02] Speaker 3: can start as one. The real value of being lifted
[1:49:08] Speaker 3: is that you can use your lifting to wipe the
[1:49:10] Speaker 3: tears of others.
[1:49:11] Speaker 1: Not to endorse laziness, but to help people. Are we together?
[1:49:16] Speaker 1: And sometimes it costs next to nothing. Some of you
[1:49:21] Speaker 1: are here seated right now.
[1:49:23] Speaker 3: If you are trained to be productive, you will already
[1:49:25] Speaker 3: be looking in this church, what can I do? What
[1:49:28] Speaker 3: can I change? What can I add? That's the mind
[1:49:31] Speaker 3: of an apostolic Christian, not what will they give me.
[1:49:36] Speaker 3: What can I do? After the morning session. I heard
[1:49:41] Speaker 3: this Lordship say, listen, this thing we cannot.
[1:49:43] Speaker 1: Let it end here. That's the heart of a shepherd.
[1:49:46] Speaker 1: Wanting it to get across to as many people.
[1:49:49] Speaker 3: Let's not train people to come to church and everything
[1:49:52] Speaker 3: is about me and myself. You have a restaurant. There
[1:49:56] Speaker 3: are young children. One day you can just cook just
[1:49:59] Speaker 3: one small bowl of rice or soup, swallow and gather
[1:50:04] Speaker 3: all of them.
[1:50:05] Speaker 1: Talk to them about Jesus. Even if it's once a year.
[1:50:10] Speaker 3: With 20,000, you can send a young child to school.
[1:50:13] Speaker 3: And that young child you send may be the Jesus
[1:50:16] Speaker 3: of your generation. Or the Daniel of your generation. Or
[1:50:19] Speaker 3: the Esther of your generation. We are not called to
[1:50:23] Speaker 3: do everything. But we must do something. Let me speak
[1:50:27] Speaker 3: therefore first to pastors and all who have attained a
[1:50:31] Speaker 3: level of success. Success becomes useless to you at a
[1:50:34] Speaker 3: certain level until it is shared to lift another life.
[1:50:37] Speaker 3: I can tell you that there is only so much
[1:50:39] Speaker 3: you can do with money. There is only so much
[1:50:42] Speaker 3: food you can eat. Start with the clothes in your house.
[1:50:47] Speaker 3: That's the value of conferences like this. You got a job.
[1:50:52] Speaker 3: You who was an orphan. And God used somebody to
[1:50:54] Speaker 3: train you through school. Now you are receiving six figures
[1:50:57] Speaker 3: per month.
[1:50:58] Speaker 1: You don't have to set up an official foundation if
[1:51:01] Speaker 1: you don't have the strength yet. But you can gather somebody.
[1:51:04] Speaker 1: Start with OG River. On my way going to the hotel,
[1:51:07] Speaker 1: I saw some young people standing across the road. You
[1:51:10] Speaker 1: can start from there.
[1:51:12] Speaker 3: Some of you live in that locality. The church needs
[1:51:15] Speaker 3: to be lighted. needs to be solved. One day there's
[1:51:19] Speaker 3: a bear pallor not too far from you. Rather than
[1:51:21] Speaker 3: insulting them and saying, you all will go to hell.
[1:51:25] Speaker 3: That should be an embarrassing statement coming from a Christian.
[1:51:28] Speaker 3: One day you get there and visit the person and say, listen,
[1:51:30] Speaker 3: I know that you are a woman who probably if
[1:51:33] Speaker 3: you had a better way you would do another business.
[1:51:35] Speaker 1: We just brought you a bag of rice. This is
[1:51:37] Speaker 1: our church. You are invited.
[1:51:39] Speaker 3: That woman can come there and start learning the ways
[1:51:42] Speaker 3: of God. And before you know it, she will get
[1:51:45] Speaker 3: into something else that is nobler and better. Can I
[1:51:48] Speaker 3: tell you, don't condemn people in any area you have
[1:51:51] Speaker 3: not given them an alternative solution. The church is very
[1:52:02] Speaker 3: good at pointing what is wrong, but we don't provide
[1:52:06] Speaker 3: superior alternatives.
[1:52:08] Speaker 1: Shame on you, young lady, you are prostituting yourself around.
[1:52:11] Speaker 3: But that lady got into that thing because there are
[1:52:13] Speaker 3: five siblings and.
[1:52:15] Speaker 1: One sick mother. So you who has condemned, show me
[1:52:18] Speaker 1: the solution you are bringing.
[1:52:19] Speaker 3: Can you pay her school fees so that she stops
[1:52:22] Speaker 3: sleeping with that man? Can you help her siblings? Can
[1:52:26] Speaker 3: they become part of your scholarship program? We wouldn't say that. Oh,
[1:52:30] Speaker 3: this young man, I hear you are part of all
[1:52:32] Speaker 3: these guys who are doing ritual for money.
[1:52:35] Speaker 1: Shame on you, you are going to hell.
[1:52:37] Speaker 3: After you are done saying that, can you organize a
[1:52:40] Speaker 3: free capacity building entrepreneur program, a training, bringing hands from
[1:52:46] Speaker 3: across the nation to build those people. If you have
[1:52:50] Speaker 3: not shown us the superior way, shut your mouth.
[1:52:53] Speaker 1: Applause Corporate social responsibility. Are we learning? We're almost there.
[1:53:08] Speaker 1: Pillar number nine.
[1:53:09] Speaker 3: The unity pillar. The unity pillar. The unity pillar. We
[1:53:19] Speaker 3: are better together. We are stronger together. We will do
[1:53:23] Speaker 3: more together. Joshua Selman on his own. can do so
[1:53:27] Speaker 3: much and go so far. Bishop Ike on his own
[1:53:31] Speaker 3: can do so much and go so far. But Joshua
[1:53:34] Speaker 3: Selman and Bishop Ike coming together can do by far more.
[1:53:38] Speaker 1: Than we do together. Am I right on that? Unity.
[1:53:43] Speaker 3: This obsession to want to be the face behind certain
[1:53:47] Speaker 3: things is what is killing us. No matter how powerful
[1:53:51] Speaker 3: and yielded we are, we have come to a time
[1:53:54] Speaker 3: in the church age where we must understand the power
[1:53:57] Speaker 3: of synergy, the power of networking, and the power of
[1:54:01] Speaker 3: prophetic collaborations. That one will chase a thousand, but two
[1:54:06] Speaker 3: will put ten thousand to flight.
[1:54:08] Speaker 1: Are we together?
[1:54:09] Speaker 3: That's why I respect and honor the bishops, the pastors
[1:54:12] Speaker 3: who have come to support this work.
[1:54:16] Speaker 1: Support this work. Unity.
[1:54:19] Speaker 3: Once it is leading to the revelation of Jesus and
[1:54:22] Speaker 3: the betterment of lives, as much as God grants us grace,
[1:54:26] Speaker 3: you can be part of it. It doesn't mean you
[1:54:27] Speaker 3: join yourself with everybody, but you can create a system
[1:54:32] Speaker 3: of trusted people who love and fear God, who are
[1:54:35] Speaker 3: bound in purpose.
[1:54:39] Speaker 1: I'm at a point in my life in ministry where.
[1:54:43] Speaker 3: I'm building strategic relationships across regions. The reason is because
[1:54:49] Speaker 3: it makes kingdom impact more efficient within that place. So
[1:54:53] Speaker 3: if I'm coming to Oji River, I know that there
[1:54:56] Speaker 3: is a man of God with grace and integrity who
[1:54:59] Speaker 3: you can stand to support to build the walk there.
[1:55:02] Speaker 3: The same thing should be in Asaba. The same thing
[1:55:05] Speaker 3: should be in Enugu. The same thing should be in Yola.
[1:55:08] Speaker 3: The same thing should be in Adamawa. The same thing
[1:55:10] Speaker 3: should be in Ghana. That across every region, there are
[1:55:13] Speaker 3: prophetic emissaries. There are men and women who can stand
[1:55:18] Speaker 3: as lampstands within the territory. That when you light your
[1:55:21] Speaker 3: lamp here, they can light it there, light it there,
[1:55:24] Speaker 3: light it there.
[1:55:25] Speaker 1: And soon all the lights are lit together. Hallelujah. Unity. Unity.
[1:55:32] Speaker 3: I pray that the spirit of division across the east
[1:55:37] Speaker 3: it must be by my name it must be me
[1:55:40] Speaker 3: alone i'm praying in the name of jesus let that
[1:55:43] Speaker 3: divisive spirit be buried forever hallelujah.
[1:55:48] Speaker 1: And can i tell you one of the greatest keys i.
[1:55:51] Speaker 3: Know to unity is mutual respect there cannot be unity
[1:55:56] Speaker 3: until there is mutual respect. I said that already in
[1:55:59] Speaker 3: the morning. I will not talk much on that. Mutual respect.
[1:56:04] Speaker 3: The tenth and final pillar is the love pillar. There
[1:56:09] Speaker 3: is no church, no church in any territory that can
[1:56:13] Speaker 3: truly be light and salt.
[1:56:15] Speaker 1: Unless and until they uphold the love pillar. Love expressed
[1:56:19] Speaker 1: in giving, love expressed in compassion, love expressed in care
[1:56:27] Speaker 1: for one another.
[1:56:29] Speaker 3: Don't just use people be there for them be there
[1:56:33] Speaker 3: for them be there for them when i came and
[1:56:36] Speaker 3: i sat down um the man of god seated close
[1:56:40] Speaker 3: to me he whispered something to me he said apostle
[1:56:43] Speaker 3: i hope you've been able to rest And I hope
[1:56:46] Speaker 3: you are refreshed for the night. I was very touched
[1:56:49] Speaker 3: listening to him. Because I came to preach. Most people
[1:56:52] Speaker 3: just want to receive from men of God. They don't
[1:56:55] Speaker 3: care whether they are sick or well. They don't care
[1:56:57] Speaker 3: whether they have needs or not. They don't care whether
[1:57:00] Speaker 3: they are dying. It's not their business. You just keep
[1:57:03] Speaker 3: serving till you die. If you die, we bury you.
[1:57:06] Speaker 1: Who is next?
[1:57:10] Speaker 3: The church must be a place of love.
[1:57:12] Speaker 1: Can I tell you?
[1:57:13] Speaker 3: People do not care how much you know.
[1:57:15] Speaker 1: Until they know how much you care. Love.
[1:57:21] Speaker 3: Sometimes you just pick up your phone and say, man
[1:57:23] Speaker 3: of God, how is everything?
[1:57:25] Speaker 1: Are you fine? No, no, it's not an invitation. How
[1:57:28] Speaker 1: is your wife?
[1:57:29] Speaker 3: How are your children? How is the work doing? Do
[1:57:34] Speaker 3: you know it's almost a taboo right now to visit
[1:57:36] Speaker 3: a church not for preaching, no seminar, no nothing. You
[1:57:40] Speaker 3: just want to share fellowship and just sit down.
[1:57:43] Speaker 1: How is the work? We need to pray that the
[1:57:48] Speaker 1: love of God grows in us.
[1:57:50] Speaker 3: And I'm telling you, love is expressed in compassion and care.
[1:57:56] Speaker 1: When you love, you give. When you love, you become thoughtful.
[1:58:01] Speaker 1: Very thoughtful.
[1:58:04] Speaker 3: Some of you have been attending this conference for years.
[1:58:09] Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that to manipulate you.
[1:58:11] Speaker 3: But one naira of your money has not come out
[1:58:15] Speaker 3: to say, ah, how.
[1:58:16] Speaker 1: Is Bishop funding this?
[1:58:18] Speaker 3: He's bringing men of God from everywhere, paying their tickets,
[1:58:22] Speaker 3: accommodating them. No, I'm a businessman and God has done
[1:58:26] Speaker 3: me well. I think I should call him and say,
[1:58:28] Speaker 3: your lordship, how can.
[1:58:29] Speaker 1: We participate in this? That's love.
[1:58:32] Speaker 3: I'm telling you, while it can be an instrument of manipulation,
[1:58:35] Speaker 3: I must tell you the truth. Don't say I love you.
[1:58:39] Speaker 3: Show that you love. Jesus, imagine if Jesus kept telling
[1:58:43] Speaker 3: us from heaven I love you. Would have been throwing
[1:58:44] Speaker 3: stones to heaven right now in anger. But he left
[1:58:47] Speaker 3: heaven and came and died. Greater love had no man
[1:58:51] Speaker 3: than this. Than a man laid down his resources. Laid
[1:58:55] Speaker 3: down his time. Laid down his energy. Even laid down
[1:58:59] Speaker 3: his life for his friend. We're about to pray. This
[1:59:04] Speaker 3: is my assignment tonight. So that the next time you
[1:59:07] Speaker 3: see a believer or a group of people being marvelously
[1:59:11] Speaker 3: impactful for the kingdom. Please know that God gave them grace.
[1:59:15] Speaker 3: But that that grace is resting upon these ten pillars.
[1:59:19] Speaker 3: A final recap and we'll rise to pray. Pillar number one,
[1:59:23] Speaker 3: the prayer pillar for an impactful church. Pillar number two,
[1:59:27] Speaker 3: the evangelism pillar. Pillar number three, the discipleship pillar. Pillar
[1:59:33] Speaker 3: number four, the faith pillar. Pillar number five, the power
[1:59:38] Speaker 3: pillar or the supernatural. Pillar number six, the value productivity pillar.
[1:59:44] Speaker 1: Pillar number seven, the influence pillar.
[1:59:47] Speaker 3: Pillar number eight, the corporate social responsibility pillar. Pillar number nine,
[1:59:53] Speaker 3: the unity pillar. And pillar number 10, the love pillar.

[2:02:35] Speaker 1: why God impressed it upon the heart of his servant.
[2:02:41] Speaker 1: To help us paint the portrait of the church that
[2:02:44] Speaker 1: represents the dream that is in the heart of God.
[2:02:47] Speaker 3: While we have done well. You see from this session
[2:02:50] Speaker 3: among others. That there is need for a lot to
[2:02:54] Speaker 3: be done. For many of us we must go back
[2:02:57] Speaker 3: and check our churches and our lives. and find out
[2:03:00] Speaker 3: which pillar is broken or missing. For some, the prayer
[2:03:04] Speaker 3: pillar is missing, restore it. For some, the discipleship pillar
[2:03:09] Speaker 3: is missing.
[2:03:10] Speaker 1: Restore it.
[2:03:11] Speaker 3: For some, the corporate social responsibility pillar is missing, restore it.
[2:03:15] Speaker 3: For others, it's the value productivity pillar. Others, it's the
[2:03:19] Speaker 3: unity pillar. Others, it's the love pillar. I'm about to
[2:03:23] Speaker 3: pray for you.

[2:32:08] Speaker 1: your face will not shine. Some of you from Oji
[2:32:11] Speaker 1: river here.

[2:32:52] Speaker 1: hallelujah final prayer final prayer.
[2:33:02] Speaker 3: Many of you, and let me tell you, long after
[2:33:05] Speaker 3: this conference is done, God.
[2:33:07] Speaker 1: Will be doing a work in you. The work does
[2:33:10] Speaker 1: not end here. In the name of Jesus. But my
[2:33:14] Speaker 1: final prayer for you is that God will send you help.
[2:33:20] Speaker 1: I want to pray that prayer for you. Listen. Listen.
[2:33:23] Speaker 3: There are three things about help you must learn. Number one,
[2:33:26] Speaker 3: help can come too late. Help must come on time
[2:33:30] Speaker 3: to benefit you. Number two, help must come in the
[2:33:34] Speaker 3: quantity that becomes significant in your life. If you are
[2:33:38] Speaker 3: looking for one million and I give you one thousand,
[2:33:41] Speaker 3: I helped you but I did not help you seriously.
[2:33:44] Speaker 1: Are we together?
[2:33:45] Speaker 3: The Bible says to come before the throne of grace
[2:33:47] Speaker 3: to find help, grace to time of need not after
[2:33:53] Speaker 3: the time of need there are two assignments of help
[2:33:56] Speaker 3: to make things possible and to make it easy if
[2:34:00] Speaker 3: I'm to lift this by myself with one hand it
[2:34:03] Speaker 3: may be very difficult but when you come to help
[2:34:07] Speaker 3: me you make it possible and you make it easy
[2:34:11] Speaker 3: the Lord hear you in the day of trouble.
[2:34:14] Speaker 1: The God of Jacob defend you send you help from
[2:34:19] Speaker 1: a sanctuary and comfort you out of Zion.
[2:34:25] Speaker 3: May he remember your givings and your burnt offering and
[2:34:29] Speaker 3: pray it for you again the Lord hear you in
[2:34:31] Speaker 3: the day of trouble may the God of Jacob defend
[2:34:35] Speaker 3: you may he send you help from a sanctuary and
[2:34:39] Speaker 3: may he strengthen you from out of Zion may he
[2:34:43] Speaker 3: remember your burnt offerings in the name of Jesus Christ
[2:34:49] Speaker 3: From today you will be like a well watered garden.
[2:34:52] Speaker 1: You will go from glory to glory. Hear me.
[2:34:55] Speaker 3: I place favor upon your head. Let it begin to
[2:35:00] Speaker 3: speak in your life right now. You are blessed of
[2:35:03] Speaker 3: the Lord. I call you Beulah and Hepzibah. The hand
[2:35:08] Speaker 3: of the Lord is strong upon you. I pray for
[2:35:11] Speaker 3: this walk. It will only grow from glory to glory.
[2:35:15] Speaker 3: It will only grow from grace to grace. I pray
[2:35:18] Speaker 3: for the Anglican communion in Ochi River.
[2:35:21] Speaker 1: You will be.
[2:35:22] Speaker 3: Known as the place for revival. The place for empowerment.
[2:35:27] Speaker 3: In the name of Jesus Christ. And as you return
[2:35:30] Speaker 3: back to your homes when this conference is over. You
[2:35:33] Speaker 3: carry that revival fire back to your stations.
[2:35:38] Speaker 1: In Jesus name we pray. Keep standing everybody. Greater love
[2:35:43] Speaker 1: has no man than this. That a man laid down
[2:35:46] Speaker 1: his life for his friend.
[2:35:48] Speaker 3: Jesus laid down his life for you. I look at
[2:35:52] Speaker 3: you and my eyes can hardly see the end. Of
[2:35:55] Speaker 3: all the people who are gathered here tonight. Thousands of us.
[2:35:59] Speaker 3: But I want to make as a final function tonight.
[2:36:03] Speaker 1: This call. It's a noble call. It's a call for
[2:36:06] Speaker 1: those who love Jesus. It's a call for those who
[2:36:10] Speaker 1: truly need him in their lives. Wherever you are. I
[2:36:14] Speaker 1: want to give you an opportunity. Even if it's for
[2:36:17] Speaker 1: just one sincere person. We had a harvest yesterday. I
[2:36:21] Speaker 1: hope we have the same today. What shall it profit
[2:36:24] Speaker 1: a man, the Bible says, if he gains the whole
[2:36:26] Speaker 1: world and then he loses his soul. At the back
[2:36:29] Speaker 1: of this prophetic campaign is first the redemption of souls.
[2:36:35] Speaker 3: Then we can talk about the maturity of the saints.
[2:36:38] Speaker 3: The Bible says that the knowledge of the glory of
[2:36:40] Speaker 3: the Lord will cover the earth as water has covered
[2:36:43] Speaker 3: the sea. Wherever you are, you are saying, Apostle, Bishop,
[2:36:48] Speaker 3: let me use this one opportunity to make it right
[2:36:50] Speaker 3: with Jesus. I know we are stretched for time, but
[2:36:53] Speaker 3: these prophetic conferences do not happen every day. And it's
[2:36:57] Speaker 3: a good baguette with destiny. If you win with Jesus,
[2:37:02] Speaker 3: then you have won with every other thing. Wherever you are,
[2:37:06] Speaker 3: I'm going to count one to five. There's no need
[2:37:09] Speaker 3: playing games with God. You know that you need Jesus.
[2:37:14] Speaker 3: You know that you need to make it right with Jesus.
[2:37:17] Speaker 1: You know that you need to go past religiosity into
[2:37:21] Speaker 1: a functional relationship.
[2:37:23] Speaker 3: You are saying, Apostle, the Holy Spirit is speaking to
[2:37:26] Speaker 3: me that I need to make it right. with him
[2:37:30] Speaker 3: please wherever you are run i begin to count five
[2:37:34] Speaker 3: and come here run and come cry before your maker hallelujah.
[2:37:42] Speaker 1: Praise the name of the lord i begin by counting
[2:37:50] Speaker 1: Did we take it high? Let's take it low again
[2:37:52] Speaker 1: for me. I want to sing this song. It is
[2:37:57] Speaker 1: enough that Jesus died. And that he died for me.
[2:38:04] Speaker 1: That's the song I hear in my spirit. I need
[2:38:07] Speaker 1: no other argument. I need no other grief. it is
[2:38:16] Speaker 1: enough to come to jesus three if you are coming
[2:38:40] Speaker 1: come there's no there's no you are coming to be
[2:38:42] Speaker 1: born again that's why you are coming Not just for show.

[2:39:13] Speaker 1: dear brothers and sisters. Young and old. Male, female.
[2:39:18] Speaker 3: You have responded to this divine call. Many of you
[2:39:21] Speaker 3: are still on your way coming. And there are others
[2:39:24] Speaker 3: who are falling online. This issue of salvation we must
[2:39:27] Speaker 3: take seriously. The Bible says whose soul's name is not
[2:39:31] Speaker 3: found in the book of life. Is cast into the
[2:39:34] Speaker 3: lake of fire. This is the second death. But Jesus
[2:39:38] Speaker 3: came to give us life. And life more abundantly.
[2:39:46] Speaker 1: I'm going to ask you to raise your hand high
[2:39:48] Speaker 1: above your head and I'm going to ask you to
[2:39:50] Speaker 1: pray this prayer after me. Please mean it from your heart.
