## Transcript

[0:01] Speaker 1: Hallelujah. Go ahead and begin to pray in the spirit.
[0:07] Speaker 1: Pray in the spirit, everyone. Go ahead and pray in
[0:12] Speaker 1: the spirit. Let that which you have received rest in
[0:16] Speaker 1: your spirit, man.
[0:19] Speaker 2: This is koinonia.
[0:30] Speaker 1: Someone is praying. Blessed be the God. Now Father. The
[0:34] Speaker 1: Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. We worship him in
[0:38] Speaker 1: spirit and in truth. In Jesus' mighty name, we worship.
[1:01] Speaker 1: In Jesus' mighty name, we worship. The Bible says, now
[1:05] Speaker 1: the Lord is that spirit. He's not the only spirit,
[1:29] Speaker 1: but he's that spirit. That spirit that brings translations.
[1:35] Speaker 2: In the spirit.
[1:37] Speaker 1: That lifts people. You see, without the presence factor, there
[1:42] Speaker 1: is no church. It is beyond the paraphernalia. It is
[1:48] Speaker 1: beyond the activities. What brings power to the things that
[1:54] Speaker 1: we do? Is the presence factor. You can fake power.
[2:01] Speaker 1: But you cannot fake presence.
[2:10] Speaker 2: For your name is holy. Holy. Lord.
[2:24] Speaker 1: For your name.
[2:26] Speaker 3: Is one more time.
[2:34] Speaker 1: Let it be from the depth of your.
[2:41] Speaker 3: Spirit For your name is holy, holy, Lord.
[3:09] Speaker 1: Spirit of the living God, we pray that.
[3:13] Speaker 2: You will breathe upon us tonight.
[3:17] Speaker 1: We're gathered to be fanned to flames yet again. We're
[3:23] Speaker 1: gathered to receive insight and illumination. And we pray that
[3:28] Speaker 1: you will help us. The Bible says you are our helper,
[3:32] Speaker 1: helping our infirmities, our limitations. We submit ourselves to your wisdom.
[3:38] Speaker 1: And we pray that you will do mighty things in
[3:41] Speaker 1: our midst. For in Jesus' name we pray. Amen and amen.
[3:48] Speaker 1: God bless you. Please be seated if you can. And
[3:52] Speaker 1: I want you to be very, very sensitive. This is
[3:55] Speaker 1: the house of God. This is not a viewing center.
[4:00] Speaker 1: This is not a cinema hall. This is not a
[4:03] Speaker 1: place for acting some movie. God has decided to invest
[4:08] Speaker 1: his presence in this house. He has decided to tabernacle
[4:12] Speaker 1: among us. And we are honored to host his presence.
[4:16] Speaker 1: The meaning of that is that you will never return
[4:19] Speaker 1: the way you came. In the name of Jesus Christ.
[4:23] Speaker 1: That his light and his grace will be so rested
[4:27] Speaker 1: upon you that when you step out of this place,
[4:29] Speaker 1: it will be clear tonight that.
[4:31] Speaker 2: You met the King of Kings. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
[4:38] Speaker 1: So we'll go straight to the business of tonight. But
[4:43] Speaker 1: like I promised us last week, let me just make
[4:47] Speaker 1: the announcement for the Sound of Revival UK.
[4:49] Speaker 2: Okay. And then once we're done, we'll just pray on
[4:53] Speaker 2: the bills.
[4:54] Speaker 1: And then we'll get to discuss that which God has
[4:59] Speaker 1: in store for us tonight.
[5:03] Speaker 2: In the name of Jesus.
[5:05] Speaker 1: There's someone who came here with a very strong pain
[5:10] Speaker 1: by the side. Looked like a strong abdominal pain. The
[5:14] Speaker 1: power of God is touching that person right now.
[5:19] Speaker 2: Right now.
[5:21] Speaker 1: That pain is a demonic thing. It's not a medical condition.
[5:25] Speaker 1: It's a satanic oppression. In the name of Jesus, it
[5:29] Speaker 1: leaves this moment. By the power of the Holy Spirit.
[5:36] Speaker 1: By the power of the Holy Spirit. There's someone you've
[5:40] Speaker 1: been having difficulty moving your neck. You are able to
[5:42] Speaker 1: move your neck, but it looks like there's something wrong.
[5:46] Speaker 1: There is something that creates excruciating pain. You will feel
[5:50] Speaker 1: like fire as I'm speaking right now. And that demonic
[5:54] Speaker 1: thing will leave you once and for all. In the
[5:58] Speaker 1: name of Jesus, the son of the living God. We
[6:06] Speaker 1: believe in Jesus. We believe in his power. When we
[6:11] Speaker 1: read this Bible, it is for us beyond a history book.
[6:16] Speaker 1: It is beyond a storybook. This is a capture of
[6:21] Speaker 1: not what God has done, but what he is.
[6:23] Speaker 2: Able to do when men believe him. Hallelujah.
[6:29] Speaker 1: Perhaps this is a message already for someone. Don't play
[6:32] Speaker 1: games with God. Mean business with God. And it will
[6:37] Speaker 1: cost your life to be.
[6:38] Speaker 2: A sign and a wonder. Hallelujah. Praise the name of
[6:42] Speaker 2: the Lord. I'm hearing restoration. This is what I'm hearing.
[6:51] Speaker 2: I'm hearing restoration. Restoration.
[6:56] Speaker 1: You see, these words are not just empty words. There
[6:59] Speaker 1: is a power behind them. And it is that power
[7:03] Speaker 1: that brings them to pass.
[7:05] Speaker 2: Restoration.
[7:06] Speaker 1: I'm saying it again. By the spirit of the living God.
[7:10] Speaker 1: That everything that has left your life. That is inconsistent
[7:15] Speaker 1: with God's will. In the name that is above all names.
[7:19] Speaker 1: Prophesy upon your life. This day and this moment. May
[7:23] Speaker 1: my God restore. This day and this moment. May my
[7:29] Speaker 1: God restore. And every power that tries to fight this prophecy.
[7:36] Speaker 1: May the hand of God clear it out of the way.
[7:45] Speaker 1: You will marvel and wonder at what happens to you
[7:48] Speaker 1: at the instance of this word.
[7:52] Speaker 2: I'm not just speaking to you.
[7:53] Speaker 1: I'm placing something by this word on your head.
[7:58] Speaker 2: I say it one last time.
[7:59] Speaker 3: Restore.
[8:01] Speaker 2: Restore. Restore. Restore. Restore.
[8:08] Speaker 1: In every area you have lost. In every area there
[8:11] Speaker 1: has been depletion. Let there be restoration. By the spirit
[8:16] Speaker 1: of grace. Please be seated. In the name of Jesus.
[8:31] Speaker 1: Just help those under the anointing. No power in existence.
[8:40] Speaker 2: Listen to me.
[8:41] Speaker 1: Most people have not taken time to know God. Lay
[8:45] Speaker 1: your hands on your head and declare that no force
[8:48] Speaker 1: of darkness will interrupt God's program in your life in
[8:52] Speaker 1: this season. Go ahead and begin to pray. No power
[8:56] Speaker 1: in existence. We serve a living God. No power in existence.
[9:06] Speaker 1: Not by ancestry. Not by enchantment. Not by demonic patterns.
[9:12] Speaker 1: No power in existence sustains what it takes to abort
[9:18] Speaker 1: the program of God in your life, my life, our lives.
[9:23] Speaker 2: Pray. Turn it to power in one minute. No power.
[9:31] Speaker 2: No power.
[9:34] Speaker 1: Manifesting as sickness. No power manifesting as failure. Manifesting as patterns.
[9:53] Speaker 1: We come against it. In the name of Jesus the
[9:57] Speaker 1: Christ of God.
[10:12] Speaker 2: In Jesus' mighty name we pray. He said, who sinned.
[10:41] Speaker 1: That this man was born blind? Was it him or
[10:46] Speaker 1: his father? And Jesus said, neither. But that the glory
[10:50] Speaker 1: of the Lord will be revealed. Let me speak over someone.
[10:53] Speaker 1: You will not suffer the sins of your parents. You
[10:59] Speaker 1: are delivered from the consequences of the sins of those
[11:04] Speaker 1: who went ahead of you.
[11:06] Speaker 2: I say it again.
[11:08] Speaker 1: You will not be a victim. Of the consequences. From
[11:12] Speaker 1: the sins of those who have gone ahead of you.
[11:15] Speaker 2: Or those who have before you.
[11:17] Speaker 3: Hallelujah.
[11:25] Speaker 2: You believe what you are receiving? Please be seated. When
[11:34] Speaker 2: you come to the house of God. Be full of faith.
[11:39] Speaker 1: One moment of encounter in his presence can literally rewrite
[11:45] Speaker 1: your destiny.
[11:46] Speaker 2: Hallelujah.
[11:48] Speaker 1: The Bible says in Hebrews chapter 11 and verse 6.
[11:50] Speaker 2: It says for without faith it is impossible to please him.
[11:54] Speaker 1: The him being God. For he that cometh to God
[11:59] Speaker 1: must believe.
[12:01] Speaker 2: Number one that he exists.
[12:03] Speaker 1: And then number two, that he's the rewarder or a
[12:06] Speaker 1: rewarder of them that diligently seek him. May the Lord
[12:11] Speaker 1: do us good tonight. In the name of Jesus. Alright,
[12:15] Speaker 1: so let's have the bill for the Sound of Revival
[12:21] Speaker 1: United Kingdom.
[12:23] Speaker 2: We're going to pray. Hallelujah. Praise the name of the Lord.
[12:30] Speaker 1: So this is to our global family and then our
[12:32] Speaker 1: family in the United Kingdom and indeed all over Europe.
[12:37] Speaker 1: By the grace of God, the sound of revival for
[12:40] Speaker 1: this year will be in Leeds. We're using the first
[12:45] Speaker 1: direct arena in Leeds. It will be on the 19th
[12:51] Speaker 1: and the 20th of September.
[12:53] Speaker 2: So it's still a long time. But then....
[12:59] Speaker 1: So that we're able to manage and improve on that
[13:04] Speaker 1: which we did last year. We're opening up the doors
[13:08] Speaker 1: so that people can be aware and then they can plan.
[13:11] Speaker 1: So this will be long after we're done with U.S.
[13:15] Speaker 2: And done with Canada. Do not forget again that U.S.
[13:17] Speaker 2: is 18th and 19th.
[13:19] Speaker 1: Canada is 24th and 25th. Sound of revival. Please stretch
[13:24] Speaker 1: your hands and I want us to speak together. That
[13:27] Speaker 1: in the name of Jesus Christ. We are taking this fire.
[13:32] Speaker 1: Of the spirit. Across the globe. To the nations and
[13:37] Speaker 1: the continent of the earth. Stretch your hands.
[13:42] Speaker 2: We are declaring by the spirit of the living God.
[13:45] Speaker 2: There will be a reign of salvation. Reawakenings.
[13:50] Speaker 1: Mighty, mighty manifestations of the spirit. The angel that signifies revelations.
[14:02] Speaker 1: We release them by the power of the Holy Spirit.
[14:06] Speaker 1: To take these.
[14:06] Speaker 2: Glad tidings across Europe. Across the nations.
[14:11] Speaker 1: That multitudes will come to encounter the God of the Bible.
[14:17] Speaker 1: Some of them your loved ones. Some of them those
[14:20] Speaker 1: who have gone before you. Some of them distant relatives.
[14:31] Speaker 1: In the mighty name of Jesus. And so to our
[14:35] Speaker 1: Koinonia UK family, please go ahead and take the glad
[14:40] Speaker 1: tidings all across Europe. This is what the Lord is doing.
[14:44] Speaker 1: We're using Fest Direct Arena. It's a beautiful arena and
[14:47] Speaker 1: we trust God to have awesome sessions in his presence.
[14:53] Speaker 1: In the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Are we ready
[14:58] Speaker 1: for registration for UK?

[15:10] Speaker 1: that's your link. Please go ahead and register. Do you know,
[15:14] Speaker 1: we're trusting God for grace. I'm told that they've almost
[15:18] Speaker 1: exhausted the links even for USA.
[15:21] Speaker 2: And we're still.
[15:22] Speaker 1: Wondering how we're going to walk around it because this
[15:25] Speaker 1: is just February. Within 48 hours, it was almost, we're
[15:32] Speaker 1: praying that we don't have to still get two different
[15:35] Speaker 1: auditoriums to use. But we have to make do with
[15:40] Speaker 1: whatever it is that God is granting grace. It just
[15:42] Speaker 1: tells you that people are hungry. They are desperately looking
[15:47] Speaker 1: for the living God. People are tired of games, tired
[15:50] Speaker 1: of nonsense. They are looking for God. God whose power
[15:55] Speaker 1: can be demonstrated here and now.
[15:58] Speaker 2: Hallelujah. So for all who.
[16:01] Speaker 1: Are in UK, please follow the link. Scan the barcode
[16:04] Speaker 1: and use it for your registration. Please make that as
[16:11] Speaker 1: fast as you can for you and for your loved ones.
[16:14] Speaker 1: This will help us plan and we'll do our best to....
[16:20] Speaker 2: Manage as many people.
[16:21] Speaker 1: Who will be coming all across Europe. And let's trust
[16:26] Speaker 1: God that the venue we have will be able to
[16:28] Speaker 1: contain the people. If otherwise, God will grant us wisdom
[16:31] Speaker 1: on what to do. But please take advantage of it
[16:34] Speaker 1: now so the doors are open. You can begin to register.
[16:37] Speaker 1: It's free, but you need to register so that it
[16:40] Speaker 1: helps us to manage the people.
[16:42] Speaker 2: And as always, let's.
[16:43] Speaker 1: Display the account details so that would allow those who
[16:48] Speaker 1: want to give so for all of you our koinonia
[16:51] Speaker 1: uk family that is our account details you have there
[16:55] Speaker 1: please take advantage.
[16:56] Speaker 2: Of it for all your givings all your.
[17:00] Speaker 1: Givings take advantage of it give give generously give because
[17:05] Speaker 1: you love jesus and give us part of your kingdom
[17:08] Speaker 1: responsibility our orientation in this house and in this ministry
[17:14] Speaker 1: and God is bringing the body of Christ to that
[17:16] Speaker 1: state of maturity, is that this matter of money should
[17:20] Speaker 1: not be about manipulation or telling lies.
[17:24] Speaker 2: There is nothing to hide.
[17:25] Speaker 1: The program of God always runs on the shoulders of
[17:30] Speaker 1: yielded vessels.
[17:32] Speaker 2: It's as simple as that. Are we together?
[17:34] Speaker 1: And that giving in the kingdom is motivated, number one,
[17:37] Speaker 1: by our love for Jesus and our desire to be
[17:41] Speaker 1: part of his program. That if because of my one pound,
[17:46] Speaker 1: one dollar, one naira or one whatever currency, someone comes
[17:51] Speaker 1: to know Jesus, someone is saved, someone is healed, that
[17:55] Speaker 1: is also credited unto me in heaven. And part of
[17:58] Speaker 1: the responsible Christianity we're building is for every believer to
[18:03] Speaker 1: know that you have a role, even a financial role
[18:07] Speaker 1: to play in God's program. Void of coercion, void of manipulation.
[18:13] Speaker 1: giving willingly, giving joyfully, motivated by love, that when we
[18:18] Speaker 1: stand on that crusade ground and you see the multitudes
[18:21] Speaker 1: coming to Jesus, the multitudes getting healed, you smile knowing
[18:26] Speaker 1: that your.
[18:26] Speaker 2: Seed played a role to make that happen. Are we together?
[18:31] Speaker 1: And the Bible tells us that the ones who give
[18:35] Speaker 1: will always be rewarded, even in this life. So you
[18:40] Speaker 1: can give, For all other expressions, we've made the account
[18:43] Speaker 1: details available. I understand that a few people have had issues.
[18:49] Speaker 1: We're trying to work on one or two issues with
[18:51] Speaker 1: our account in U.S. So if for any reason you've
[18:56] Speaker 1: tried to give and there's been a limitation, please just
[18:59] Speaker 1: be patient, especially for those outside the U.S.
[19:02] Speaker 2: Who are giving.
[19:02] Speaker 1: I think those within there may not have any problem.
[19:06] Speaker 1: Particularly for U.S., we've had to add a few more
[19:10] Speaker 1: accounts so that we're able to meet up not only
[19:14] Speaker 1: the volume, but to give people diversity of expression. So
[19:19] Speaker 1: more on that will come in subsequent services. But just
[19:22] Speaker 1: for you to know that God is doing great and
[19:25] Speaker 1: mighty things, and it is an honor for us to
[19:28] Speaker 1: be part of what he's doing. That is First Direct Arena.
[19:32] Speaker 1: That's what we'll be using for the conference in the
[19:38] Speaker 1: United Kingdom. We thank God for his grace and we
[19:42] Speaker 1: trust that God will be glorified in.
[19:44] Speaker 2: Jesus' name. Amen and amen. I think we're ready for
[19:48] Speaker 2: the business of the night. Hallelujah.
[19:57] Speaker 1: Let me start by prophesying over your life. I think
[19:59] Speaker 1: when I was praying, the Lord gave me a scripture,
[20:02] Speaker 1: Deuteronomy chapter 8, 7 to 9. I have to obey
[20:06] Speaker 1: God and speak it over your life. Then I'll charge
[20:10] Speaker 1: our hearts tonight. Just allow me to read. And then
[20:13] Speaker 1: I'll speak it over your life. For the Lord thy
[20:15] Speaker 1: God bringeth thee. This is the scripture that came to
[20:18] Speaker 1: me while I was praying.
[20:20] Speaker 2: Into a good land.
[20:22] Speaker 1: A land of brooks of water. Of fountains and depths
[20:27] Speaker 1: that spring out of valleys and hills. A land of wheat.
[20:32] Speaker 1: And barley and vines and fig trees and pomegranates. A
[20:37] Speaker 1: land of oil, of olive and honey.
[20:40] Speaker 2: Verse 9.
[20:41] Speaker 1: A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness. Thou
[20:47] Speaker 1: shalt not lack anything in it. A land whose stones
[20:51] Speaker 1: are iron. And out of whose hills.
[20:55] Speaker 2: Thou mayest dig out brass.
[20:57] Speaker 1: This is provision even in the times of scarcity. Even
[21:01] Speaker 1: though I'm not teaching on finances tonight, but I have
[21:03] Speaker 1: to obey the Lord. In the name of Jesus, by
[21:06] Speaker 1: the power of prophecy, I'm praying for you. That beginning
[21:09] Speaker 1: from this week, may you step into a strange level
[21:13] Speaker 1: of financial testimonies. We call upon God who has graciously
[21:22] Speaker 1: shown us mercy. That in the name of Jesus Christ.
[21:26] Speaker 1: Everyone connected to this grace. I'm prophesying to you by
[21:29] Speaker 1: the spirit of the living God. Not in two weeks.
[21:33] Speaker 1: Not in three weeks. Not next year. Not in March.
[21:36] Speaker 1: You have the faith to believe. I speak over your life.
[21:39] Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus. Step into a realm of
[21:43] Speaker 1: extraordinary abundance. abundance by the wisdom of god abundance by
[21:53] Speaker 1: the favor of god abundance by strategic relationships abundance by
[22:01] Speaker 1: inheritance in the name of jesus so don't be surprised
[22:11] Speaker 1: If someone who has not called you in a long
[22:13] Speaker 1: time calls you. And says God just put it in
[22:16] Speaker 1: my heart. That for the remaining part of this year.
[22:19] Speaker 2: Every month. Not once. Not twice. Every month.
[22:23] Speaker 1: That I should be blessing you and blessing your children.
[22:26] Speaker 1: You have the faith to believe it. I speak it
[22:28] Speaker 1: over your life.
[22:33] Speaker 2: Hallelujah.
[22:35] Speaker 1: I remember very humorously. I was speaking here. I think
[22:39] Speaker 1: it was last year or so. I used to have
[22:43] Speaker 1: a dog. The dog is now dead.
[22:45] Speaker 2: And I just.
[22:46] Speaker 1: Mentioned the dog and someone called from US and said
[22:49] Speaker 1: I'll be taking care of the dog every week and
[22:52] Speaker 1: every month. I'll be sending money from UK. And I said,
[22:57] Speaker 1: what is all this?
[23:00] Speaker 2: For a dog? What is it eating?
[23:06] Speaker 1: Let your power Holy Ghost power Rest on me, rest
[23:13] Speaker 1: on me. Let your power, Holy Ghost power, rest on me,
[23:21] Speaker 1: rest on me.
[23:23] Speaker 2: Oh, rest on me. Oh, rest on me.
[23:34] Speaker 1: I've taught you that it is what is upon you
[23:45] Speaker 1: that controls everything around you.
[23:48] Speaker 2: Believe me when I tell you that.
[23:51] Speaker 1: It is what comes on your head that controls what
[23:55] Speaker 1: is around you. It says, thou anointest my head with oil.
[24:00] Speaker 1: But I see the effect of what is on my
[24:02] Speaker 1: head on my cup. He doesn't anoint the cup. Thou
[24:05] Speaker 1: anointest my head with oil. And my cup runneth over.
[24:12] Speaker 2: In the name of Jesus. Please be seated.
[24:19] Speaker 1: God is doing something across the globe that is phenomenal.
[24:25] Speaker 1: God is doing something in Africa that is phenomenal. As
[24:29] Speaker 1: a man of God, I was sharing with a few
[24:31] Speaker 1: people back in Lagos. I'm seeing the formation of a
[24:35] Speaker 1: cloud that once happened before.
[24:38] Speaker 2: We came to the scene. There is a cloud that
[24:41] Speaker 2: is gathering again.
[24:43] Speaker 1: God is moving in a way, perhaps not exact, but
[24:49] Speaker 1: a way similar to what he has done before.
[24:52] Speaker 2: Maybe before some of us were born. But he's coming again.
[24:57] Speaker 1: And we are seeing the formation of that prophetic cloud.
[25:01] Speaker 1: Gathering from region to region. Gathering from nation to nation.
[25:07] Speaker 1: Gathering from continent to continent. Perhaps, could it be the
[25:12] Speaker 1: formation for the last move of God before Jesus returns?
[25:18] Speaker 1: I doubt that there will be many, many other moves.
[25:23] Speaker 1: The signs are already showing.
[25:25] Speaker 2: That we are wrapping up. It is true.
[25:28] Speaker 1: But we are seeing a heavy cloud that is forming.
[25:33] Speaker 1: And this cloud is going to pour out rain. That
[25:37] Speaker 1: rain is not going to be little. That rain will last.
[25:42] Speaker 2: Hallelujah. It is true. This is not a cloud that
[25:46] Speaker 2: is just forming. No, no, no, no.
[25:48] Speaker 1: This one is beyond the fist of a man's hand.
[25:53] Speaker 1: It is a very mighty thick cloud. The spirit of
[25:56] Speaker 1: God himself is gathering that cloud. It's a mighty rain
[26:01] Speaker 1: of revival. It's a mighty rain of outpouring. It's a
[26:05] Speaker 1: mighty rain of awakenings. It is the reenacting of Ezekiel
[26:10] Speaker 1: 37 again. And I have seen this many times in
[26:16] Speaker 1: my visions. In 2005... The Lord opened my eyes. And
[26:24] Speaker 1: I saw the continent of Asia. I saw fire. Just
[26:31] Speaker 1: like a single candlestick. And I saw many Chinese young people.
[26:37] Speaker 1: And it came upon one, just one person. And it
[26:40] Speaker 1: began to spread. Began to spread. Began to spread.
[26:45] Speaker 2: You see, I have seen the same formation in Africa.
[26:49] Speaker 1: Because this is the continent that will present Christ to
[26:52] Speaker 1: the world.
[26:53] Speaker 2: Before Jesus returns. It is in prophecy. It is true.
[26:59] Speaker 1: And if you are here gathered tonight, let me tell you,
[27:01] Speaker 1: it is because there is something within your spirit. Tonight,
[27:05] Speaker 1: deep is about to call unto deep. Deep is about
[27:09] Speaker 1: to call unto deep. Deep is about to call unto deep.
[27:15] Speaker 1: Doesn't matter whether you are male or female. Doesn't matter
[27:18] Speaker 1: whether you are young or old. It is a prophetic
[27:23] Speaker 1: formation over something mighty that God is doing. And we're
[27:29] Speaker 1: glad that we'll be witnessing this in our lifetime. The fathers,
[27:36] Speaker 1: in the next 10 to 20 years, the truth is
[27:39] Speaker 1: that for the fathers, the cloud is already shifting. They
[27:44] Speaker 1: are already seeing the signs. There are chariots ready to
[27:48] Speaker 1: come and pick them. It will not be immediate, but
[27:52] Speaker 1: it will not be very long. There is a baton
[27:56] Speaker 1: in the Spirit, a transference, genuine, authentic graces and mantles
[28:04] Speaker 1: over the next decade. Hear me, I'm saying this by
[28:07] Speaker 1: the spirit of prophecy, that over the next 10 years,
[28:12] Speaker 1: there will be a prophetic transition within the body of Christ.
[28:17] Speaker 1: There are many. Others have gone. Still within the decade.
[28:23] Speaker 1: Men like Reinhard Bonnke. Men like T.L.
[28:28] Speaker 2: Osborne.
[28:29] Speaker 1: Pat Robinson left this year. Maurice Sorulo. They have gone.
[28:37] Speaker 1: Our fathers in Nigeria are still here. Because of their
[28:39] Speaker 1: covenant of long life. They will still be here for
[28:42] Speaker 1: a while. But it will not be for too long.
[28:46] Speaker 2: They know it. We know it. So there is a
[28:51] Speaker 2: transition in the spirit.
[28:54] Speaker 1: And Elijah told Elisha if you can see me. If
[28:58] Speaker 1: you can see me. If you will not lose focus
[29:02] Speaker 1: and see me.
[29:06] Speaker 2: But you see.
[29:09] Speaker 1: It is not only a handing over of mantles that.
[29:12] Speaker 2: Will be happening.
[29:14] Speaker 1: There are other mantles that could not be handed over.
[29:18] Speaker 1: Because there were no faithful vessels to carry it.
[29:21] Speaker 2: And when the carriers were old.
[29:24] Speaker 1: All those who were in front of them were in
[29:26] Speaker 1: the order of Gehazi and Judas. So they could not
[29:30] Speaker 1: hand over the mantle. And many of them died with
[29:33] Speaker 1: the mantles. But you see mantles don't go back to heaven.
[29:37] Speaker 2: No.
[29:38] Speaker 1: That means they are somewhere being preserved. by the spirit
[29:41] Speaker 1: of grace waiting for vessels that will become feet and
[29:47] Speaker 1: dexterous listen you will see mantles that we have not
[29:53] Speaker 1: seen in the body of christ maybe for the.
[29:55] Speaker 2: Last hundred years I pray we.
[29:59] Speaker 1: Have the grace to receive them. You will see people
[30:03] Speaker 1: walk in mantles that the last person who walked in
[30:06] Speaker 1: it was written in the Bible. And you are wondering
[30:09] Speaker 1: where did this grace come from? This blend of spiritual formation.
[30:14] Speaker 1: Where is this one coming from? I have seen this
[30:19] Speaker 1: and it will happen.
[30:29] Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
[30:46] Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
[30:53] Speaker 4: Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
[31:08] Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
[31:42] Speaker 1: I'd like you to pray one prayer while you are
[31:53] Speaker 1: seated Father I am available available to be the Esther
[31:59] Speaker 1: of my generation available to be the Gideon.
[32:09] Speaker 2: Available To be the Ruth. The Naomi.
[32:13] Speaker 1: Available to be the Elijah. Go ahead and pray. You're
[32:24] Speaker 1: not wasting your time. This is a prophetic and an
[32:27] Speaker 1: apostolic ministry. respond to the staring in the spirit respond
[32:41] Speaker 1: to the staring in the spirit.
[33:21] Speaker 2: Please don't be distracted. We are becoming a people spiritual.
[33:28] Speaker 2: A people yielding. Vessels that he can use. Mighty vessels
[33:34] Speaker 2: that he can use.
[33:36] Speaker 1: Take a few minutes. I just sense a scaring.
[33:45] Speaker 2: In the spirit. Don't waste it. Take a few minutes
[33:48] Speaker 2: to pray in the spirit. We see the cloud. We
[33:52] Speaker 2: see the cloud. We see the cloud. We see the cloud.
[33:57] Speaker 2: A mighty formation in the spirit. This is koinonia. The
[34:38] Speaker 2: spirit man is getting enlarged.
[35:07] Speaker 1: In Jesus name we pray in Jesus.
[35:14] Speaker 2: Name we pray be seated if you can.
[35:28] Speaker 1: And so all across the globe there is a mighty formation.
[35:35] Speaker 2: If you are not aware of this It is because
[35:39] Speaker 2: you are not spiritual.
[35:42] Speaker 1: The Bible says these days will be like the days
[35:44] Speaker 1: of Noah. In the days of Noah there were two
[35:48] Speaker 1: groups of people. There were those who understood what God
[35:51] Speaker 1: was doing. And they were participating in the building of
[35:55] Speaker 1: the ark. And there were the mockers and the naysayers.
[35:59] Speaker 2: Completely disinterested.
[36:02] Speaker 1: But the Bible says it was God himself that came
[36:04] Speaker 1: to shut the door.
[36:07] Speaker 2: And when he shut the door, the flood came.
[36:10] Speaker 1: And everyone who was not in that act of safety died.
[36:15] Speaker 2: Everyone. Hallelujah.
[36:23] Speaker 1: One of the graces that the apostolic ministry enjoys is
[36:31] Speaker 1: access to the dealings of God Per season. Per dispensation.
[36:41] Speaker 1: So that you understand what God is doing. And then
[36:45] Speaker 1: you can interpret what God is doing. And help his
[36:49] Speaker 1: people prepare. So that when he comes in that regard.
[36:54] Speaker 1: There are vessels that are prepared. To be mightily used
[36:57] Speaker 1: by him. I have a brief charge tonight. And the
[37:01] Speaker 1: title of my message. Is this is the generation. This
[37:09] Speaker 1: is the generation. I'm teaching tonight on the making of
[37:14] Speaker 1: mighty men. I want to show you from scripture how
[37:19] Speaker 1: men become mighty in the spirit. I want to show
[37:24] Speaker 1: you how people become of weight.
[37:26] Speaker 2: And stature in the spirit.
[37:29] Speaker 1: And if you pay attention to what you are learning tonight,
[37:33] Speaker 1: you will become such.
[37:34] Speaker 2: A mighty vessel. This It's the generation. I wonder how
[37:44] Speaker 2: we're going to go today. Hey, Shabarus Kadia.
[37:49] Speaker 1: Krataka Tabalakos Sabrenda Gebalashi. Rapa tus hebre kadi bala tus hebris.
[38:10] Speaker 1: Embre gebere kusha pras kada balaish kiyam bara sobhi atas igedesh.
[38:16] Speaker 1: Krata vareza develen tas kiba lagus yata. Rais kanina maha
[38:22] Speaker 1: shenemen de gebaratos koto vras kiyah.
[38:26] Speaker 2: Imbra kata ati.
[38:27] Speaker 1: Bala sanana shabaratus kabi atah. Praige develedus hebarantos sobras kiba legapah.
[38:35] Speaker 2: Help us, Spirit of the Living God.
[38:36] Speaker 1: Okay.
[38:37] Speaker 2: Please be seated. There are.
[39:04] Speaker 1: There are three emphases of the Spirit.
[39:06] Speaker 2: Let me start from there.
[39:09] Speaker 1: There are three prophetic emphases of the Spirit in these
[39:12] Speaker 1: last days.
[39:14] Speaker 2: I have taught you, but let me recap. Let me
[39:15] Speaker 2: start from there. Number one is the world evangelization.
[39:20] Speaker 1: This is the first emphasis of the Spirit in this
[39:24] Speaker 1: prophetic season that we are in.
[39:29] Speaker 2: World evangelization.
[39:31] Speaker 1: The spirit of God like never before is raising men
[39:35] Speaker 1: and he's moving across the length and the breadth of
[39:38] Speaker 1: this earth for that one final wave that will bring
[39:43] Speaker 1: in the harvest are we together in order of divine
[39:48] Speaker 1: priority God's.
[39:50] Speaker 2: Emphasis right now.
[39:54] Speaker 1: Is a greater determination by the Spirit to find laborers
[39:59] Speaker 1: that can make world evangelization a.
[40:04] Speaker 2: Success.
[40:06] Speaker 1: Number two, what is the second emphasis of the Spirit.
[40:09] Speaker 2: In this season? The maturity of the saints.
[40:14] Speaker 1: To do with territorial transformation is beyond just healings and
[40:17] Speaker 1: supernatural manifestations, witty inventions, creativity, superior ideas by the spirit
[40:26] Speaker 1: that will be revealed through the saints. It's important for
[40:30] Speaker 1: you to know this. This is what God is doing
[40:34] Speaker 1: in this season. World evangelization. What we are doing in
[40:40] Speaker 1: the crusades and the conferences across the is in honor
[40:44] Speaker 1: to this call and this mandate that he desires that
[40:49] Speaker 1: all people be saved and then to come unto the
[40:53] Speaker 1: knowledge of the truth. World evangelization, the maturity of the saints,
[40:59] Speaker 1: territorial transformation. Now, I want you to listen very carefully.
[41:08] Speaker 1: The major challenge, in my opinion, And I submit to
[41:14] Speaker 1: you that particularly in Africa, there's been a growing dissatisfaction
[41:21] Speaker 1: as far as nominal Christianity is concerned. People are beginning
[41:25] Speaker 1: to be tired. Tired of the ritual of religion. Tired
[41:29] Speaker 1: of church as usual.
[41:31] Speaker 2: Are we together?
[41:32] Speaker 1: Tired of communications of spiritual things without the power and
[41:36] Speaker 1: the authority component. People across the horizon, Christians and non-Christians.
[41:44] Speaker 2: Alike, are beginning to get fed up.
[41:47] Speaker 1: Never has it been in history where God is collapsing
[41:51] Speaker 1: the walls of denominationalism. People are opening their hearts right now.
[41:56] Speaker 1: People who ordinarily would not open their hearts to certain
[42:00] Speaker 1: dimensions of the kingdom are now being prepared to at
[42:04] Speaker 1: least give these thoughts a chance. Perhaps I can find
[42:10] Speaker 1: out about this. I have closed my heart to it.
[42:13] Speaker 1: But let me be open. Perhaps to the ministry of
[42:15] Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit. Perhaps to discipleship. Perhaps to transformation. So
[42:21] Speaker 1: there is a lot that is happening. Even unbelievers. Men
[42:25] Speaker 1: in the order of the Utopian Enoch. Are beginning to
[42:29] Speaker 1: be interested in this God thing. This kingdom thing. It
[42:33] Speaker 1: is amazing how many non-Christians are connected right now.
[42:37] Speaker 2: In this nation and across the globe. Following this.
[42:41] Speaker 1: They are not Christian. But they are interested.
[42:44] Speaker 2: They are learning.
[42:46] Speaker 1: They want to know. They are very open hearted. People
[42:50] Speaker 1: are no longer afraid. And closing themselves to say. This
[42:54] Speaker 1: is what I know. This is what I believe. The
[42:57] Speaker 1: same way many Christians are opening up their hearts too.
[43:00] Speaker 1: They are saying, you know what? I'm tired of closing
[43:03] Speaker 1: myself in fear, lying to myself. Let me open myself
[43:07] Speaker 1: to occultism also.
[43:09] Speaker 2: Let me open.
[43:10] Speaker 1: Myself to some Eastern African religion also. So we live
[43:15] Speaker 1: in a world and we live in a prophetic season
[43:17] Speaker 1: where there is a greater sense of openness. And everybody
[43:22] Speaker 1: I tell you, They are looking for God.
[43:25] Speaker 2: They are looking for his power.
[43:27] Speaker 1: They are looking for meaning to their lives.
[43:30] Speaker 2: Are we together now?
[43:31] Speaker 1: People are getting tired of lying, getting tired of faking
[43:34] Speaker 1: their living, acting as if things are working, whereas they
[43:38] Speaker 1: have not truly experienced God. Like the Bible said, men
[43:42] Speaker 1: can experience him. So there's been a growing hunger. There's
[43:45] Speaker 1: been a growing dissatisfaction. Even among men and women of God,
[43:50] Speaker 1: particularly Nigeria and Africa, there's been a sudden reawakening. People
[43:55] Speaker 1: are getting really serious with God to say, listen, if
[43:58] Speaker 1: I do not know this, let me open up my
[44:00] Speaker 1: heart to find out what else can there be in God.
[44:04] Speaker 1: And this is a very good news for us all. However,
[44:09] Speaker 1: I found out that the major reason why it looks
[44:15] Speaker 1: like the Holy Spirit is limited In terms of manifesting
[44:20] Speaker 1: the reality of the God life. The reality of the
[44:23] Speaker 1: supernatural power of God here on earth. The major reason
[44:29] Speaker 1: has been the kind and the quality of vessels that
[44:33] Speaker 1: are available.
[44:34] Speaker 2: I want you to please listen.
[44:37] Speaker 1: The major limitation I can tell you to the operation
[44:41] Speaker 1: of the spirit on earth today. Beyond the protocol of prophecy.
[44:48] Speaker 1: Is that the kind and the vessels that are available
[44:53] Speaker 1: are not aligned to the degree that can host that
[44:57] Speaker 1: much that God wants to do. Now in truth there
[45:01] Speaker 1: are vessels. But the Bible tells us very clearly. It
[45:04] Speaker 1: says nevertheless the foundation of the Lord standeth sure. Having
[45:08] Speaker 1: this seal. That the Lord knoweth them that are his.
[45:11] Speaker 1: And let every man that name the name of Christ
[45:13] Speaker 1: depart from iniquity. Then it says in a great house.
[45:16] Speaker 1: Listen carefully. It says there are all kinds of vessels.
[45:20] Speaker 1: Some vessels are gold. Some vessels are silver. Some vessels
[45:26] Speaker 1: are wood. Some vessels are earth or clay and he
[45:32] Speaker 1: told us immediately that some of these vessels already they
[45:36] Speaker 1: are unto honor and some vessels are not unto honor.
[45:41] Speaker 2: They are unto dishonor.
[45:43] Speaker 1: Verse 21 says if a man will purge himself so
[45:47] Speaker 1: you see that god wants to use The vessels... The
[45:52] Speaker 1: master wants to use the vessels... Unto good works... But
[45:57] Speaker 1: the kind... And the quality of vessels that we have...
[46:01] Speaker 1: That are sincerely available.
[46:05] Speaker 1: You see that now... They may not be able to...
[46:08] Speaker 1: Best the purposes of God... To God's satisfaction... And it
[46:13] Speaker 1: seems to me as though... In every generation... God seems
[46:18] Speaker 1: to bring a proposition to people within that generation. I
[46:22] Speaker 1: want to move. I desire for this generation. Or any
[46:27] Speaker 1: generation for that matter. To see my power. To see
[46:30] Speaker 1: my glory. I desire for this generation to see scripture fulfilled.
[46:36] Speaker 2: Sometimes. In a whole generation.
[46:39] Speaker 1: He may find just a handful of people. And he
[46:42] Speaker 1: will have to make do with what is available. And
[46:46] Speaker 1: the danger is that the moment there are few people,
[46:50] Speaker 1: that move of.
[46:51] Speaker 2: God will not last.
[46:52] Speaker 1: Because the few people are also human.
[46:55] Speaker 2: And the burden on.
[46:56] Speaker 1: Them, either the burden of fatigue, or the burden of temptations,
[47:01] Speaker 1: or the, you know, just the humanity of men, or
[47:05] Speaker 1: attacks from the kingdom of darkness. And then they are
[47:08] Speaker 1: cut out of the way. And God's program is lost.
[47:12] Speaker 1: Now God is coming to our generation again. Like he
[47:15] Speaker 1: has done fairly so to every generation. And the clarion
[47:21] Speaker 1: call is not just Maranatha God come. He wants to come.
[47:26] Speaker 1: But the quality of the vessels. And here's what the
[47:30] Speaker 1: Lord revealed to me. There are essentially two defects with
[47:40] Speaker 1: the vessels that God desires to use.
[47:45] Speaker 2: Two defects. Number one is on one side we.
[47:52] Speaker 1: Have vessels that are completely disinterested in spirituality, spiritual growth
[48:00] Speaker 1: and kingdom come. So this is the first problem that
[48:04] Speaker 1: we have to deal with.
[48:06] Speaker 2: Are we following now?
[48:07] Speaker 1: So we have vessels. They do not even know.
[48:10] Speaker 2: They are vessels.
[48:12] Speaker 1: Either they are not born again or Or they are
[48:15] Speaker 1: born again. But completely disinterested in God's program. When we
[48:21] Speaker 1: talk about this. There are some of you. Watching people
[48:23] Speaker 1: shout under the anointing. Watching people worship. Watching people roll.
[48:27] Speaker 1: And you are wondering with shock. What is this madness?
[48:30] Speaker 1: There is a complete disinterest. About anything God. Anything kingdom.
[48:38] Speaker 1: For others it's even degenerated to sheer godlessness.
[48:43] Speaker 2: They do not want to hear anything.
[48:45] Speaker 1: That has the name of Jesus on it.
[48:51] Speaker 2: This is the first problem that God wants to solve.
[48:55] Speaker 1: There are many people today who are not yet saved,
[48:59] Speaker 1: but are enlisted as part of the prophetic army.
[49:03] Speaker 2: In this move of God. That is a very serious thing.
[49:06] Speaker 1: Did you know that when Jesus was talking to the
[49:09] Speaker 1: 12 disciples and telling them they would still learn other things,
[49:13] Speaker 1: the man who he would use was not saved?
[49:16] Speaker 5: Paul.
[49:17] Speaker 1: As at the time Jesus was telling the disciples, I
[49:21] Speaker 1: have many other things to tell you. The man that
[49:24] Speaker 1: the spirit of God will use. Who would play an
[49:27] Speaker 1: active role. In writing to thirds of the new testament.
[49:31] Speaker 2: Was not even saved.
[49:32] Speaker 1: A Pharisee.
[49:34] Speaker 2: But hated everything Jesus.
[49:37] Speaker 1: To the point that when they were stoning Stephen, the
[49:41] Speaker 1: Bible tells us that as they were stoning Stephen, it
[49:44] Speaker 1: was under the supervision of Paul as Saul. They kept
[49:50] Speaker 1: their garments near him while they were destroying all of
[49:53] Speaker 1: these people. And he saw it with joy and gladness.
[49:59] Speaker 1: But one day the Bible tells us that on his
[50:02] Speaker 1: way to Damascus.
[50:03] Speaker 2: Can you imagine that level of zeal?
[50:05] Speaker 1: He obtained letter from the high priest to go and
[50:08] Speaker 1: capture the people who were advocating this Jesus. And a
[50:12] Speaker 1: light came. The Bible tells us. He fell down and
[50:16] Speaker 1: he heard a voice saying, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
[50:21] Speaker 2: And he says, who are you Lord?
[50:22] Speaker 1: Verse 5.
[50:23] Speaker 2: He says, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. That was
[50:29] Speaker 2: his conversion.
[50:31] Speaker 1: Do you know how many other souls are in beer
[50:33] Speaker 1: parlors right now? Do you know how many souls right
[50:37] Speaker 1: now are in homes? Do you know how many souls
[50:41] Speaker 1: right now are in some other places? They are not
[50:44] Speaker 1: even aware that there is such a heavy mandate upon
[50:47] Speaker 1: their lives. Imagine the world without a Reinhard Bonnke. Just
[50:52] Speaker 1: remove 10 people. Let me give you 10 names. Remove
[50:56] Speaker 1: them from the history of the program of God. And
[50:58] Speaker 1: tell me what we have left. Remove Reinhard Bonnke. Remove T.L.
[51:02] Speaker 2: Osborne. Remove Maurice Cerullo. Are we together?
[51:06] Speaker 1: Remove Billy Graham. Remove, say, Pat Robinson. Just remove these
[51:12] Speaker 1: 10 people alone.
[51:13] Speaker 2: What do we have left?
[51:15] Speaker 1: There is nobody who is walking in the cutting edge
[51:18] Speaker 1: of God's program today that was not a product of
[51:21] Speaker 1: that generation. In Nigeria today, remove all of these prophetic voices.
[51:28] Speaker 2: It was T.L.
[51:29] Speaker 1: Osborne who mentored Archbishop Benson Idahosa. That thing you see
[51:33] Speaker 1: came from T.L. Osborne.
[51:36] Speaker 2: You see, history.
[51:37] Speaker 1: Underreported so many things. And unfortunately in Africa, we don't
[51:41] Speaker 1: preserve history. So there is so much to know to
[51:45] Speaker 1: strengthen our work that we do not know. The average
[51:48] Speaker 1: young man that God is using now is not connected
[51:51] Speaker 1: to history.
[51:52] Speaker 2: We hardly know what happened before our arrival.
[51:55] Speaker 1: So we cannot know what mistakes to cross, what mistakes
[51:58] Speaker 1: to jump. And because our generation is largely an arrogant generation,
[52:02] Speaker 1: we are repeating the same mistakes again. The things that
[52:09] Speaker 1: are written aforetime, the Bible says, they are for our learning.
[52:13] Speaker 1: So that we through patience and the comfort of scripture
[52:17] Speaker 1: might find hope.
[52:19] Speaker 2: Are we together?
[52:20] Speaker 1: So the first problem that the Spirit of God wants
[52:24] Speaker 1: to correct is the disinterest, complete disinterest.
[52:29] Speaker 2: In the things of God. Let me tell you the truth.
[52:31] Speaker 1: You would think being a man of God, my life
[52:33] Speaker 1: has just been full of meeting zealous people who love
[52:36] Speaker 1: the Lord. I have seen people with such almost annoying
[52:40] Speaker 1: disinterest for the things of God. And they have a
[52:43] Speaker 1: right to reject God. It is their right. God will
[52:47] Speaker 1: respect it. Except that in their disinterest, God will have
[52:51] Speaker 1: to take their bishopric and give another person.
[52:54] Speaker 2: Can I tell you? There are many people you see today.
[52:58] Speaker 1: The burden on them is because their assignment they are
[53:01] Speaker 1: carrying out was not the original script.
[53:04] Speaker 2: Other people who were.
[53:05] Speaker 1: Supposed to have risen have refused to rise. And so
[53:09] Speaker 1: God has to make do with the available vessels. And
[53:12] Speaker 1: you will see men start as maybe evangelists and keep
[53:15] Speaker 1: evolving into other things. Because they have to midwife many
[53:20] Speaker 1: assignments and prophetic programs until.
[53:23] Speaker 2: The people assigned are trained enough. to take it. The
[53:30] Speaker 2: danger to that kind of living is that.
[53:32] Speaker 1: There are the people who now become what you call
[53:35] Speaker 1: the Joshua Selmans or the celebrities. The danger is that
[53:39] Speaker 1: because you are carrying many people's assignments on your head,
[53:42] Speaker 1: your own plus the assignment of a careless person who has.
[53:46] Speaker 2: Refused to know God and rise.
[53:48] Speaker 1: Any attack that comes on you can destroy the body.
[53:52] Speaker 1: The army was never supposed to be few. In any battle,
[53:57] Speaker 1: number is an advantage. Are you getting what I'm saying now?
[54:03] Speaker 1: And so we have people. And some of these people
[54:06] Speaker 1: I'm talking about are here listening to me. Following by television.
[54:10] Speaker 1: Following across the globe. The Spirit of God is calling you.
[54:14] Speaker 1: We are not just saved to sit down and be
[54:17] Speaker 1: disinterested in the program of God.
[54:19] Speaker 2: No.
[54:19] Speaker 1: No. No.
[54:23] Speaker 2: God wants to move in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, South.
[54:28] Speaker 1: Africa, Europe, America, everywhere, including Asia. The ends of the earth.
[54:36] Speaker 1: But the vessels that he has to make do with,
[54:39] Speaker 1: number one, are completely godless or disinterested. There are people
[54:46] Speaker 1: who will stand alone. From a distance and watch a
[54:49] Speaker 1: crusade happening. And while the man is shouting in the
[54:52] Speaker 1: name of Jesus. Is it time for you to be saved?
[54:55] Speaker 2: They will be.
[54:55] Speaker 1: Laughing and perhaps maybe drinking and telling others go for it.
[54:59] Speaker 2: And they are completely disinterested. Yet you see. The thing
[55:04] Speaker 2: with God.
[55:05] Speaker 1: Is that he has put eternity in the heart of
[55:07] Speaker 1: every man. After all of those misbehavior you see them
[55:11] Speaker 1: still go back. And say there is something in my heart.
[55:15] Speaker 1: I can't explain why I can't leave God. They will
[55:18] Speaker 1: vow that they will never come to church. Later you
[55:20] Speaker 1: still find them roaming around crusade grounds.
[55:22] Speaker 2: They don't even know what is bringing them there.
[55:24] Speaker 1: I tell you it's because they are part of that army.
[55:26] Speaker 1: I'm saying this so that when you see such people,
[55:29] Speaker 1: you begin to pray and intercede. The scribes and the
[55:35] Speaker 1: Pharisees would never open up their heart to receive of
[55:39] Speaker 1: what Jesus was saying. Yet you will always find them
[55:42] Speaker 1: in his crusade. If you don't like him, go away.
[55:46] Speaker 1: But what was still keeping them there? Because there is
[55:49] Speaker 1: a cry. Some of you vowed that you would never
[55:52] Speaker 1: come for Koinonia.
[55:53] Speaker 2: You are here now. You vowed that you would never
[55:55] Speaker 2: come to church. In fact, you are here now. You
[55:58] Speaker 2: insulted pastors and said, everybody is a crook. You are
[56:00] Speaker 2: still here. You know why?
[56:01] Speaker 1: Because there is destiny and prophecy upon you. And let
[56:05] Speaker 1: me tell you, provided you are alive, except you use
[56:09] Speaker 1: your mouth to say, Lord, I reject you consciously and willingly.
[56:13] Speaker 2: Leave me alone. I'm exercising my will. He will respect you.
[56:18] Speaker 1: And for some, do you know, maybe based on God's
[56:21] Speaker 1: prophetic blueprint, you are supposed to.
[56:24] Speaker 2: Start your kingdom.
[56:25] Speaker 1: Assignment actively, maybe at 20, 30. You are now 40, 45, 50.
[56:30] Speaker 1: And God is saying, I'm still waiting. I know time
[56:33] Speaker 1: is gone, but we'll find out what we can do
[56:35] Speaker 1: with you. Do you believe what you're hearing?
[56:41] Speaker 2: Disinterest. Disinterest.
[56:44] Speaker 1: Especially for young people. Because the glory of young people
[56:48] Speaker 1: is their strength. And there are many young people who...
[56:51] Speaker 1: I'm not talking of blind fanatism. I'll talk about that.
[56:56] Speaker 1: An altar call is made. They are not interested. The
[56:58] Speaker 1: Spirit of God is speaking to them. You would be
[57:01] Speaker 1: the first person to get born again in your lineage.
[57:04] Speaker 1: Why do you think he brought you to church? Just
[57:06] Speaker 1: to watch a man?
[57:08] Speaker 2: No. Too small a reason. It's because.
[57:12] Speaker 1: He vowed to even your idol worshiper father. One day
[57:16] Speaker 1: your idol worshiper grandfather or great grandfather. Had a voice
[57:21] Speaker 1: from this lineage. A prophet will rise.
[57:23] Speaker 2: He checked. Who is speaking?
[57:26] Speaker 1: It is not my idols. It was God placing a witness.
[57:30] Speaker 1: And even if it's after 40 years. You see ba.
[57:33] Speaker 1: This God is truly a covenant keeping God. Even if
[57:39] Speaker 1: it's after 40 years. He will come back again. I
[57:43] Speaker 1: said something to this family. Let me come and find
[57:45] Speaker 1: out if there is one vessel who has been born.
[57:48] Speaker 1: And the spirit of God starts moving around. And then
[57:51] Speaker 1: he will find out that all the men are not serious.
[57:55] Speaker 1: And say let me try the women. It doesn't matter
[57:57] Speaker 1: male or female. I just need someone as a witness.
[58:01] Speaker 1: That I need to best my purposes in this family.
[58:06] Speaker 1: There are other families. They didn't know God. But when
[58:09] Speaker 1: missionaries came.
[58:10] Speaker 2: To that village. They said you know what.
[58:12] Speaker 1: There is one one bedroom there.
[58:14] Speaker 2: I am an idol worshipper. I won't go for your crusade.
[58:17] Speaker 1: But stay in that room. And while the man prayed there.
[58:20] Speaker 1: There was a witness in heaven. And God said, because
[58:23] Speaker 1: this man did this, we will insist that one seed
[58:26] Speaker 1: from his loins must serve the Lord. And that's what
[58:29] Speaker 1: has brought many of you to church right now. Because
[58:31] Speaker 1: you are wondering, how did I get to Abuja?
[58:34] Speaker 2: Look at the effort. God had to relocate you.
[58:36] Speaker 1: Maybe NYSE brought you here and God refused to allow
[58:40] Speaker 1: you to go back. Listen, I'm not just preaching. Listen
[58:43] Speaker 1: to what I'm saying. God is a covenant keeping God.
[58:51] Speaker 1: He's looking for vessels. And for some of you, because
[58:56] Speaker 1: Satan has discerned the prophetic destiny that you have, he
[59:00] Speaker 1: started scheduling men to distract you early. Maybe they started
[59:04] Speaker 1: distracting you on campus. Maybe they started distracting you everywhere.
[59:09] Speaker 2: And right now.
[59:09] Speaker 1: the way you are having dreams of mighty things but
[59:13] Speaker 1: as it is right now there is nothing close to
[59:16] Speaker 1: kingdom come.
[59:17] Speaker 2: In your life king of kings lord of.
[59:21] Speaker 1: Lords faithful and true lamb of god.
[59:27] Speaker 2: We worship you.
[59:32] Speaker 1: King of kings lord of lords faithful and true.
[59:40] Speaker 2: Lamb of god we.
[59:42] Speaker 3: Worship you.
[59:46] Speaker 1: Let me tell you the truth If it is the
[59:48] Speaker 1: God of the Bible, those dreams will not stop. You
[59:51] Speaker 1: will keep seeing yourself healing. Many people have not seen
[59:55] Speaker 1: God when he's looking for a man. God is not
[59:57] Speaker 1: ashamed though. God pursues men with the vulnerability that a
[1:00:02] Speaker 1: young man looks to look for a wife. You know
[1:00:05] Speaker 1: how a man is looking for a wife and he
[1:00:06] Speaker 1: will stand in the rain.
[1:00:07] Speaker 2: He doesn't care.
[1:00:08] Speaker 1: That is how vulnerable God is. He will wait for you.
[1:00:12] Speaker 1: If it's 10 years, he will wait for you. Emmanuel,
[1:00:22] Speaker 1: all the world is calling your name. Emmanuel, when you
[1:00:30] Speaker 1: come again. Emmanuel, and the church will see your holy face. Emmanuel,
[1:00:43] Speaker 1: when you come again.
[1:00:49] Speaker 2: Hear me.
[1:00:50] Speaker 1: I'm speaking to someone. Maybe you are in this auditorium.
[1:00:55] Speaker 1: Maybe you are in any of the overflows outside. Maybe
[1:00:58] Speaker 1: following from every nation. I'm interpreting to you the reason
[1:01:01] Speaker 1: why you cry without understanding. The reason why you run
[1:01:05] Speaker 1: away from God and find yourself coming back. It is
[1:01:08] Speaker 1: not just because you are running and coming. There is
[1:01:11] Speaker 1: a beckoning of the spirit. It's a language in the spirit.
[1:01:14] Speaker 1: He's saying remember you are a vessel. I will not
[1:01:17] Speaker 1: force you but I want to use you. I will
[1:01:20] Speaker 1: not force you but I want to use you. You
[1:01:22] Speaker 1: may have destroyed your life but he can still use you.
[1:01:26] Speaker 1: Desperately finding vessels. Can I tell you the truth? Every
[1:01:33] Speaker 1: generation has been tried. And I said this in Lagos.
[1:01:37] Speaker 1: Every generation will not fail. I can tell you this
[1:01:40] Speaker 1: is a generation. There is a generation that by mercy
[1:01:43] Speaker 1: and by grace will get it right. So number one,
[1:01:51] Speaker 1: please sit down. We have vessels... That are completely disinterested
[1:01:58] Speaker 1: in the things of God. Even though there is prophecy
[1:02:02] Speaker 1: upon their lives.
[1:02:06] Speaker 2: They tremble at the word of God.
[1:02:08] Speaker 1: But something within them has refused to respond to their maker.
[1:02:13] Speaker 1: This is the reason why for every service we make
[1:02:16] Speaker 1: altar calls. Not just because we have a mandate. It
[1:02:20] Speaker 1: is the last opportunity for someone in every service. God
[1:02:25] Speaker 1: has been trailing that person for 10 years. Finally, God
[1:02:30] Speaker 1: brought him to Koinonia. You see, let me tell you this.
[1:02:34] Speaker 1: When you see the way we prepare for service in
[1:02:36] Speaker 1: this ministry, this is also part of the motivation. When
[1:02:40] Speaker 1: we pray, when we build up our spirits, when the
[1:02:43] Speaker 1: worship team prepare to set the atmosphere, it's because God.
[1:02:47] Speaker 2: Knows he's finally finding one vessel.
[1:02:50] Speaker 1: Finally.
[1:02:51] Speaker 2: Finally.
[1:02:55] Speaker 1: And I can tell you for someone watching me, the
[1:02:58] Speaker 1: Spirit of God is rejoicing at what I'm saying. Heaven
[1:03:01] Speaker 1: is rejoicing because it's saying, finally, now I can fulfill
[1:03:05] Speaker 1: what I promised this lineage. I finally found the vessel.
[1:03:09] Speaker 1: But whether you will say yes to God or not
[1:03:12] Speaker 1: is now up to you. Do you know it is
[1:03:14] Speaker 1: within your power to look God at the face and say,
[1:03:17] Speaker 1: I reject you. I reject the mantle you want to
[1:03:20] Speaker 1: put upon my life. I'm not interested in your program.
[1:03:24] Speaker 1: Get out of my life. He will respect you. But
[1:03:27] Speaker 1: the consequence is that you and all those who were
[1:03:32] Speaker 1: designed to be saved and blessed through your life will
[1:03:35] Speaker 1: have to perish. Number two, the second defect with the
[1:03:44] Speaker 1: vessels that God is looking for or the vessels that
[1:03:49] Speaker 1: are available is that there is a lot of zeal,
[1:03:54] Speaker 1: listen carefully, and spirituality or a semblance of it, but
[1:03:59] Speaker 1: without true revelation and without compliance with divine patterns. Don't worry,
[1:04:05] Speaker 1: I'll dictate it for you. You just listen to me.
[1:04:09] Speaker 1: So on one hand, we have vessels who are not
[1:04:13] Speaker 1: interested in God's program at all.
[1:04:16] Speaker 2: Number two, we have vessels who have the zeal for God,
[1:04:23] Speaker 2: but it is not according to knowledge.
[1:04:26] Speaker 1: Their zeal has led them into various shades of legalism,
[1:04:32] Speaker 1: self-righteousness and effort in the flesh and even in futility
[1:04:37] Speaker 1: to host God and host His program. This is something
[1:04:43] Speaker 1: that the Spirit of God wants to balance.
[1:04:46] Speaker 2: I have seen many people. Young people. Young ladies.
[1:04:50] Speaker 1: When you look at them you see zeal. They love
[1:04:53] Speaker 1: Jesus sincerely. But either because they were poorly mentored. Or
[1:04:59] Speaker 1: either because they were bankrupt of an understanding of the
[1:05:02] Speaker 1: patterns to follow. You see zealous people. If it's prayer
[1:05:06] Speaker 1: they will pray. If it's fasting they will fast. If
[1:05:10] Speaker 1: it's Bible study they will study. But they do not
[1:05:12] Speaker 1: know the way to the city.
[1:05:17] Speaker 2: Hallelujah. This is even more frustrating.
[1:05:21] Speaker 1: Because if you do not love God, and that is
[1:05:24] Speaker 1: why you are not being used, that's fine.
[1:05:27] Speaker 2: But where you now seem.
[1:05:28] Speaker 1: To love God, and after dissipating energy in spiritual activities,
[1:05:33] Speaker 1: you get lost and frustrated. Many in this generation are
[1:05:38] Speaker 1: in that category. They are already following a path that
[1:05:41] Speaker 1: looks like a path to power, but it is a
[1:05:43] Speaker 1: path to doom. Because when it has to do with
[1:05:48] Speaker 1: the business of the kingdom, you are not at liberty
[1:05:50] Speaker 1: to create your formula. There is a pattern that is ancient,
[1:05:55] Speaker 1: older than us all. We are mandated to ask for
[1:05:59] Speaker 1: the ancient path and to follow it. Are you not surprised,
[1:06:04] Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, and I say this with a great
[1:06:06] Speaker 1: burden for the body.
[1:06:07] Speaker 2: Of Christ, are you not surprised that with the level of.
[1:06:11] Speaker 1: Energy that is dissipated in spiritual activities in Nigeria, in Africa,
[1:06:17] Speaker 1: on one hand we thank God for what we have seen,
[1:06:20] Speaker 1: but ladies and gentlemen, the kind of spiritual investment we
[1:06:25] Speaker 1: seem to make versus the authority component doesn't match. No. No, no, no.
[1:06:35] Speaker 2: With all due respect, and I'm.
[1:06:37] Speaker 1: Saying this with no sense of sarcasm whatsoever.
[1:06:41] Speaker 2: I am part of the body of Christ.
[1:06:43] Speaker 1: But the amounts of fastings that go on in this
[1:06:47] Speaker 1: nation and around the world.
[1:06:50] Speaker 2: The amounts of prayer, prayer projects. Are we together?
[1:06:54] Speaker 1: The amounts of consecration exercises. The amount of givings. The
[1:07:02] Speaker 1: amount of church attendance, with all due respect, the average
[1:07:07] Speaker 1: believer in this country and across Africa is very, very zealous.
[1:07:13] Speaker 1: But why is it that the power component, it looks
[1:07:16] Speaker 1: like we are not able to do much. To strike
[1:07:20] Speaker 1: a chord in the spirit. In spite of all that
[1:07:22] Speaker 1: is happening. Have you seen people who fasted and prayed.
[1:07:26] Speaker 1: Because they were honestly trying to get courses out of
[1:07:29] Speaker 1: their life sincerely. And after the end of the seven
[1:07:33] Speaker 1: days even dry. They have the same dream. That led
[1:07:36] Speaker 1: them to that experience. And they just get up and
[1:07:40] Speaker 1: say well. God be praised.
[1:07:42] Speaker 2: How about many who have given. Sincerely.
[1:07:46] Speaker 1: And yet they did not receive anything. How about those
[1:07:49] Speaker 1: who love the Lord, serving the Lord? Later they diagnosed
[1:07:53] Speaker 1: that there's some sickness somewhere. And they kept praying. They
[1:07:56] Speaker 1: gathered prayer warriors, fasting. And the more they were fasting
[1:08:00] Speaker 1: and praying, that person's body was degenerating in their presence
[1:08:05] Speaker 1: till they died. Something is wrong. Something is wrong. Something
[1:08:11] Speaker 1: is wrong. The zeal is important. But if zeal is
[1:08:15] Speaker 1: not guided, it will produce error. If you are on
[1:08:19] Speaker 1: your way to Lagos. And you follow the road to Kano.
[1:08:24] Speaker 1: And you start speeding. Even with tears in your eyes.
[1:08:27] Speaker 1: Will you get to Lagos? The problem is not the vehicle. No.
[1:08:32] Speaker 1: The problem is not your driving skill. The problem is
[1:08:35] Speaker 1: maybe something is wrong with your GPS system.
[1:08:38] Speaker 2: And it now comes to you sincerely.
[1:08:40] Speaker 1: So many people think because they are sincere.
[1:08:44] Speaker 2: They are right. Listen.
[1:08:46] Speaker 1: Listen. By the privilege of God's grace. This man you
[1:08:50] Speaker 1: see is talking to you is a student of revivals
[1:08:52] Speaker 1: and awakening. I have humbled myself, taking responsibility myself. Why
[1:08:58] Speaker 1: have we not seen the power that the fathers who
[1:09:02] Speaker 1: have joined the cloud of witnesses commanded? I was sharing
[1:09:05] Speaker 1: with them in Lagos. A great father of faith in
[1:09:08] Speaker 1: this nation. Do you know how he got saved? He
[1:09:11] Speaker 1: got saved because one of the old Yoruba preachers was
[1:09:15] Speaker 1: on a crusade ground preaching. True story. And he carried
[1:09:21] Speaker 1: his brother who was born crippled. Carried the brother and
[1:09:25] Speaker 1: was passing the crusade ground.
[1:09:27] Speaker 2: Not attending.
[1:09:29] Speaker 1: And the man shouted in Yeruba. He said in the
[1:09:32] Speaker 1: name of Jesus the son of the living God. That
[1:09:35] Speaker 1: was how his brother dropped and stood on his two feet.
[1:09:38] Speaker 1: Till today the brother is alive. When he saw that
[1:09:41] Speaker 1: he said who is this? No instrument to charge the atmosphere.
[1:09:46] Speaker 1: No clashing any symbol. This man knew God and shouted.
[1:09:50] Speaker 2: By that authority.
[1:09:53] Speaker 1: It was Archbishop Benson Idahosa who would go from street
[1:09:56] Speaker 1: to street and say, is there any dead man? Is
[1:09:59] Speaker 1: there anyone here who is dead? Because he saw that
[1:10:02] Speaker 1: they shall raise the dead and he took it literally.
[1:10:10] Speaker 2: I've visited many campgrounds in this nation.
[1:10:13] Speaker 1: And sometimes I ask them to share with me the
[1:10:15] Speaker 1: histories around it.
[1:10:16] Speaker 2: My God, this man knew God. This man knew God.
[1:10:20] Speaker 1: One time I was in Bonny Island and they showed
[1:10:23] Speaker 1: me the pulpit of one great general of God. The
[1:10:27] Speaker 1: pulpit that was purported to have produced fire.
[1:10:31] Speaker 2: I saw it.
[1:10:32] Speaker 1: It's not that they told me. There is something we
[1:10:37] Speaker 1: are doing wrong. And the first thing is for us
[1:10:40] Speaker 1: to admit that we have done well. But we need
[1:10:44] Speaker 1: to cry on the spirit of grace. Let me tell
[1:10:46] Speaker 1: you the first problem with this second group of people.
[1:10:50] Speaker 1: It's called the danger and the deception of self-sufficiency. The
[1:10:58] Speaker 1: group of many who are zealous, sincere people, but are
[1:11:02] Speaker 1: not able to see God. It is a trap, it's
[1:11:06] Speaker 1: a weakness in all men. That based on the abundance
[1:11:11] Speaker 1: of Joshua Selman's fasting. The abundance of Joshua Selman's prayer.
[1:11:16] Speaker 1: The abundance of Joshua Selman's word study. The abundance of
[1:11:19] Speaker 1: Joshua Selman's attending conferences.
[1:11:22] Speaker 2: God must use me. He doesn't have an option. No.
[1:11:26] Speaker 1: The Bible warns men. That our sufficiency is of Christ.
[1:11:31] Speaker 1: This is the difference between our generation. And the generation
[1:11:35] Speaker 1: of the fathers. That in spite of the activities they did.
[1:11:39] Speaker 1: Their confidence was entirely on the cross.
[1:11:45] Speaker 2: Not on self. Are we together? Are we together?
[1:11:48] Speaker 1: If I stand here right now, I expect the power
[1:11:51] Speaker 1: of God to move. I expect people to be healed.
[1:11:54] Speaker 2: And I put.
[1:11:55] Speaker 1: Together my spiritual credentials as the basis for why it
[1:11:59] Speaker 1: must happen. And I seem to manipulate God and say, God,
[1:12:03] Speaker 1: you are joking.
[1:12:04] Speaker 2: I have fasted. I have prayed. I have done this.
[1:12:07] Speaker 2: You must move. No, sir. It doesn't work that way.
[1:12:10] Speaker 1: If it works that way, the sons of Sceva were
[1:12:14] Speaker 1: a very consecrated people. Yet the demons did not respect them.
[1:12:18] Speaker 1: I hope you know their father was a priest. Skiva
[1:12:22] Speaker 1: was a priest. How about the disciples who were walking
[1:12:25] Speaker 1: with Jesus? And in spite of that proximity, the epileptic
[1:12:31] Speaker 1: patient was not healed by them. And they met him
[1:12:34] Speaker 1: in frustration and said, why couldn't this go out? Listen,
[1:12:38] Speaker 1: we stand a risk as a generation to eventually become frustrated.
[1:12:43] Speaker 2: Like it is already happening to many.
[1:12:46] Speaker 1: The profitability of spiritual activities is that it translates to power.
[1:12:52] Speaker 1: Power that we can see. When God demands that we pray.
[1:12:59] Speaker 1: When God demands that we fast. When God demands that
[1:13:02] Speaker 1: we give into the study of the word.
[1:13:05] Speaker 2: Listen to me.
[1:13:06] Speaker 1: None of those activities were supposed to replace his strength
[1:13:10] Speaker 1: and sufficiency in our lives. I had the honor and
[1:13:15] Speaker 1: the privilege of being at a Red Heart Bunker Crusade.
[1:13:19] Speaker 1: I was telling one of the families that I preach
[1:13:22] Speaker 1: for in Lagos. It is not something they told me.
[1:13:27] Speaker 1: By the privilege of God's grace, I had the opportunity.
[1:13:30] Speaker 2: To wheel a few people in front. Myself. I saw
[1:13:35] Speaker 2: them on wheelchairs.
[1:13:36] Speaker 1: And when you looked at the size of their legs,
[1:13:38] Speaker 1: you'll be wondering if they will ever stand.
[1:13:41] Speaker 2: And that man came and stood there.
[1:13:43] Speaker 1: Some of us who are masters of revelation, hearing Reinhard
[1:13:47] Speaker 1: Bonnke will frustrate you because you look like there's nothing
[1:13:49] Speaker 1: to say. A simple parable and he's laughing and just shouting,
[1:13:54] Speaker 1: making gestures. And here you are boiling and saying, I
[1:13:56] Speaker 1: want power. As soon as that man was done, watch this.
[1:14:02] Speaker 1: He took a glass of water and then I can't
[1:14:04] Speaker 1: remember what else happened.
[1:14:06] Speaker 2: He was going to pray.
[1:14:08] Speaker 1: And he just shouted in the name of Jesus.
[1:14:12] Speaker 2: With almost losing his voice. Blind eyes.
[1:14:15] Speaker 1: Be healed.
[1:14:16] Speaker 2: Deaf ears.
[1:14:18] Speaker 1: Nobody felt anything. Nobody fell down that I know that
[1:14:22] Speaker 1: I saw. Nobody shouted Jesus like nothing.
[1:14:26] Speaker 2: But in my presence. I saw some.
[1:14:29] Speaker 1: I think I remember at least one of the person
[1:14:31] Speaker 1: I wheeled. I saw him get up. I saw people
[1:14:35] Speaker 1: throwing their crutches. Now some of those people did not
[1:14:39] Speaker 1: speak English.
[1:14:41] Speaker 2: So they did not even hear what he was saying.
[1:14:43] Speaker 2: But the anointing did not care. Come on now.
[1:14:46] Speaker 4: Power.
[1:14:47] Speaker 1: Authentic power. They didn't hear what he was saying. Because
[1:14:53] Speaker 1: there was, I mean, of course in his crusades they
[1:14:55] Speaker 1: would interpret sometimes.
[1:14:57] Speaker 2: But they didn't hear the English.
[1:14:59] Speaker 1: That man shouted there, frail in himself, but full of
[1:15:03] Speaker 1: the sufficiency of Christ. You think he didn't pray? Read
[1:15:07] Speaker 1: his books.
[1:15:08] Speaker 2: You think he didn't fast? Read his books.
[1:15:11] Speaker 1: But they leaned entirely on the cross. And this was
[1:15:15] Speaker 1: a secret. And this is what our generation is missing.
[1:15:18] Speaker 1: There is too much marketing of personal credentials. It's why
[1:15:24] Speaker 1: we are not seeing the power of God. So right now,
[1:15:27] Speaker 1: the average man of God is under.
[1:15:29] Speaker 2: So much pressure.
[1:15:30] Speaker 1: Do you have rhema? Do you have revelation? How many
[1:15:33] Speaker 1: hours have you prayed? How many hours have you fasted?
[1:15:36] Speaker 1: I'm not saying those things are wrong. Don't get me wrong.
[1:15:38] Speaker 1: But we are delving a generation gradually into self-sufficiency. God
[1:15:44] Speaker 1: does not work like that. Go and read the Bible.
[1:15:52] Speaker 1: If God were to use people who were sufficient in themselves,
[1:15:55] Speaker 1: it would be the scribes and Pharisees that would be
[1:15:58] Speaker 1: his disciples. Not ordinary fishermen.
[1:16:01] Speaker 2: Are we together now? Yes.
[1:16:03] Speaker 1: And I really feel sad for my generation in all fairness.
[1:16:07] Speaker 1: Because the pressure that is on the average young man,
[1:16:10] Speaker 1: average young preacher. A pressure to demonstrate a semblance of spirituality.
[1:16:19] Speaker 1: The younger generation coming are even the ones that I
[1:16:21] Speaker 1: really feel sad for. Because it's like people, it has
[1:16:26] Speaker 1: become competition now. How many hours do you pray? Just
[1:16:29] Speaker 1: one hour, you are joking. You think God will use you?
[1:16:32] Speaker 2: Eight hours.
[1:16:33] Speaker 1: How many other hours do you study the Bible? Oh,
[1:16:36] Speaker 1: I study my own for, well, God is helping me.
[1:16:38] Speaker 1: There's one devotional by FCS or SU. That's what you
[1:16:44] Speaker 1: are using. At this level, you are joking. You see,
[1:16:49] Speaker 1: don't get me wrong. When I preach like this, you
[1:16:51] Speaker 1: know I'm not being sarcastic. The idea is that we
[1:16:56] Speaker 1: are on the path to disappointment. I guarantee you by
[1:16:59] Speaker 1: the integrity of the word. So people get disappointed today
[1:17:05] Speaker 1: because they believe it is based on my prayer, my
[1:17:08] Speaker 1: fasting Joshua Selman. I have Greek and Hebrew lexicon, Matthew
[1:17:12] Speaker 1: Henry's commentary. I have all of them. I'm based on that.
[1:17:16] Speaker 1: You watch and see what God will do. And yet
[1:17:19] Speaker 1: one mama will be in her room and say, God,
[1:17:22] Speaker 1: I didn't go to school. I didn't have the privilege
[1:17:25] Speaker 1: to do anything. But I want you to use me.
[1:17:29] Speaker 1: And God will say, I will place a grace on you.
[1:17:32] Speaker 1: Anybody you pray for, that person must rise. Because this
[1:17:38] Speaker 1: revival we are calling for, in truth, there.
[1:17:41] Speaker 2: Is a price to pay. But instead of us to.
[1:17:44] Speaker 1: Calm down and let God teach us how to pay
[1:17:47] Speaker 1: the price, we are guessing the price by ourselves and
[1:17:50] Speaker 1: we are paying it and hoping.
[1:17:52] Speaker 2: He's seen it.
[1:17:53] Speaker 1: It doesn't work that way. I have seen the power
[1:17:57] Speaker 1: of God in my life. If it's the business of power,
[1:18:00] Speaker 1: God has shown me mercy. But we count all of
[1:18:04] Speaker 1: these things but dung.
[1:18:05] Speaker 2: Because there are still higher heights.
[1:18:07] Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, do you know the amount of sick
[1:18:11] Speaker 1: people who are in the body of Christ?
[1:18:14] Speaker 2: This is Jesus' own body.
[1:18:19] Speaker 1: It is alarming. If I ask everyone now, we pass
[1:18:22] Speaker 1: a paper and say, be honest.
[1:18:25] Speaker 2: Don't tell church lies. Be honest.
[1:18:27] Speaker 1: Write what is really wrong with you. There are people
[1:18:30] Speaker 1: who say, another paper please. Because when I finish describing
[1:18:34] Speaker 1: what is wrong with my head alone. Hello. And in
[1:18:42] Speaker 1: the midst of that. With that tired head. We pray
[1:18:46] Speaker 1: for five hours and nothing happens.
[1:18:48] Speaker 2: Come on.
[1:18:49] Speaker 1: Which Holy Spirit are we talking about? A demon spirit?
[1:18:53] Speaker 1: Go and read what happened to man when the Holy Spirit,
[1:18:57] Speaker 1: genuine power.
[1:18:58] Speaker 2: From on high came.
[1:19:00] Speaker 1: Sometimes I wonder if we are ready for the revival
[1:19:03] Speaker 1: we are praying for.
[1:19:04] Speaker 2: If it comes, will we really receive it? Hallelujah.
[1:19:15] Speaker 1: There are few people, and I say this sincerely, there
[1:19:19] Speaker 1: are few people I have seen in my life as
[1:19:22] Speaker 1: a man of God that were suffering terminal diseases and
[1:19:27] Speaker 1: believers came and prayed on them and they were healed
[1:19:29] Speaker 1: immediately and got up. If you have seen how many,
[1:19:33] Speaker 1: let me know. I will be glad to learn from you.
[1:19:36] Speaker 1: I'm not talking of someone who is sick. That while
[1:19:38] Speaker 1: you were praying. Both you and the doctor were walking together.
[1:19:41] Speaker 1: Eventually glory be to God he was healed. I'm talking
[1:19:44] Speaker 1: about people who it was an entire display. Of the
[1:19:47] Speaker 1: power of God. That someone who could not walk. Clearly
[1:19:51] Speaker 1: diagnosed with cancer stage 4. And you came to that hospital.
[1:19:55] Speaker 1: And left with that patient. Our pride is too much.
[1:20:03] Speaker 1: We have done well, but we need to settle down.
[1:20:05] Speaker 1: We are still in kindergarten in the school of the spirit.
[1:20:08] Speaker 1: I tell you sincerely, it's an uncomfortable truth. But ladies
[1:20:12] Speaker 1: and gentlemen, if this is truly the generation, then it
[1:20:15] Speaker 1: must be a generation of humility and recognition that we
[1:20:20] Speaker 1: must go down on our knees and say, Lord, we
[1:20:22] Speaker 1: have tried, but show us the keys we are missing.
[1:20:26] Speaker 2: There is certainly something wrong. Certainly. Certainly. Certainly.
[1:20:33] Speaker 1: I have watched a few of T.L. Osborne's crusades. Do
[1:20:36] Speaker 1: you know what challenged T.L. Osborne to walk in power?
[1:20:39] Speaker 1: He went to India and preached like many of.
[1:20:43] Speaker 2: Us are preaching.
[1:20:44] Speaker 1: Oh, Jesus saves. After fasting, after.
[1:20:47] Speaker 2: Praying, he went there and nothing happened. The people were.
[1:20:52] Speaker 1: Not interested because there was no proof. He went back
[1:20:56] Speaker 1: and made up his mind that he would contend for power.
[1:20:59] Speaker 1: And when that happened, he returned back there. When he
[1:21:02] Speaker 1: was speaking, they did not pay attention. Based on what
[1:21:05] Speaker 1: we are told, he called on a blind person out.
[1:21:09] Speaker 1: He called on a crippled person and one other person.
[1:21:11] Speaker 1: When they were healed, the people began to shout. My God,
[1:21:14] Speaker 1: I have seen photos of his crusade and I've seen
[1:21:17] Speaker 1: some of the videos. Honestly, if you don't see it,
[1:21:21] Speaker 1: you will think they were lying. This issue of legs
[1:21:26] Speaker 1: growing that cannot be verified in our generation many times.
[1:21:30] Speaker 1: You go and see his crusade. You will see the
[1:21:32] Speaker 1: metal that the person was wearing. Significant inches shorter than
[1:21:38] Speaker 1: the other. And it came out in the presence of everyone.
[1:21:43] Speaker 1: I watched the videos of Charles and Francis Hunter. I
[1:21:46] Speaker 1: used to have their entire healing series. My God. I
[1:21:51] Speaker 1: saw spectacular miracles by these people. I was told of
[1:21:56] Speaker 1: one of our fathers of faith. He's gone to be
[1:21:58] Speaker 1: with the Lord now.
[1:22:00] Speaker 2: That man.
[1:22:02] Speaker 1: That if he prophesied upon you. If you enter his
[1:22:06] Speaker 1: wherever it is that he's praying. And if he speaks
[1:22:09] Speaker 1: concerning you.
[1:22:10] Speaker 2: Believe me. Except you don't believe it. It will come
[1:22:13] Speaker 2: to pass.
[1:22:14] Speaker 1: They said his word did not fall to the ground.
[1:22:17] Speaker 2: Till he died.
[1:22:18] Speaker 1: There was nothing recorded. That he told anybody in prophecy.
[1:22:23] Speaker 1: That didn't come to pass. The problem with the vessel.
[1:22:31] Speaker 1: I repeat and I want you to please listen to me.
[1:22:34] Speaker 1: It's not that what we are doing is wrong. But
[1:22:37] Speaker 1: we are beginning to replace Christ. It is on the
[1:22:44] Speaker 1: abundance of Rehazal.
[1:22:47] Speaker 2: There is a place for that.
[1:22:49] Speaker 1: But everybody will listen to me because I studied my Bible.
[1:22:54] Speaker 2: Because I prayed. Because I fasted.
[1:22:58] Speaker 1: Now what happens when you fast and pray and study?
[1:23:01] Speaker 2: Then it does not happen. Do you know why I'm
[1:23:05] Speaker 2: saying this?
[1:23:06] Speaker 1: This generation we are living now will not tolerate a
[1:23:10] Speaker 1: lie for a long time. Very soon people will start coming.
[1:23:13] Speaker 2: Out to say, Mr.
[1:23:14] Speaker 1: Man, you said you healed me. He said, lie, I'm
[1:23:16] Speaker 1: not healed. My medical report is still here. I'm still sick.
[1:23:20] Speaker 1: I pray it doesn't get to that point. Are we
[1:23:24] Speaker 1: together now? Genuine manifestations of the.
[1:23:30] Speaker 2: Power of God.
[1:23:32] Speaker 1: Brothers and sisters, If the number of times we shout
[1:23:36] Speaker 1: amen in church, that grace literally rested on people. Can
[1:23:40] Speaker 1: I tell you the truth? Nobody will reject shouting amen.
[1:23:43] Speaker 1: I hope you know nobody leaves what works. I'm not
[1:23:47] Speaker 1: saying we are not seeing miracles. Here and there we
[1:23:49] Speaker 1: are seeing trickles of it. But I'm saying it's too
[1:23:52] Speaker 1: small for the pride that we keep communicating. Paul, at
[1:23:57] Speaker 1: the apex of his apostolic ministry, said, I am the
[1:24:00] Speaker 1: least of all the apostles.
[1:24:02] Speaker 2: He said that I may know him.
[1:24:04] Speaker 1: This is the true character of any vessel that wants
[1:24:08] Speaker 1: to be used by God. You must maintain a perpetual
[1:24:12] Speaker 1: state of insufficiency. I have been crucified with Christ, the
[1:24:16] Speaker 1: Bible says. Nevertheless, I live. But not I, but Christ
[1:24:21] Speaker 1: that lives in me. And the life that I now
[1:24:24] Speaker 1: live in the flesh, I live by the faith of
[1:24:27] Speaker 1: the Son of God who loved me and gave himself
[1:24:31] Speaker 1: for me. Every time I'm done with any service, every
[1:24:37] Speaker 1: time I'm done with any meeting, I return back and
[1:24:40] Speaker 1: I kneel before my God. I say, Lord, your boy
[1:24:43] Speaker 1: is here to say thank you. Thank you for the
[1:24:45] Speaker 1: much that you have done. But I know for the
[1:24:48] Speaker 1: sake of one more person who was not healed, the
[1:24:50] Speaker 1: sake of one more person whose eyes did not open,
[1:24:53] Speaker 1: the sake of one more person who has not returned
[1:24:56] Speaker 1: with a testimony, I.
[1:24:57] Speaker 2: Am willing to submit to the school of the Spirit.
[1:25:00] Speaker 2: I will learn.
[1:25:00] Speaker 1: I'm not ashamed to admit where I do not know.
[1:25:05] Speaker 1: That is, listen, if you're a man of God here,
[1:25:07] Speaker 1: listen to me twice. The days of pride and arrogance
[1:25:11] Speaker 1: and the know-it-all mentality must die permanently.
[1:25:16] Speaker 2: Are we together now?
[1:25:18] Speaker 1: That's why I salute many of you who are vessels
[1:25:20] Speaker 1: unto God. Men of God in your own capacities. Some
[1:25:24] Speaker 1: are following online and some are humbling themselves to listen.
[1:25:27] Speaker 1: You are not listening to a man who is better
[1:25:29] Speaker 1: than you. This is an election of grace. It is
[1:25:34] Speaker 1: a reason why there is no reason to brag. If
[1:25:37] Speaker 1: I sit down and one of my dear people are preaching.
[1:25:40] Speaker 1: I will sit and listen. At that point that they
[1:25:43] Speaker 1: are preaching. This is not father or son. Or man
[1:25:46] Speaker 1: of God and prodigy. This is God speaking through a vessel.
[1:25:49] Speaker 1: And I will listen. I'm not listening to learn one
[1:25:53] Speaker 1: or two things. What can God communicate through them? When
[1:25:58] Speaker 1: the worship team are ministering, I don't look at them
[1:26:01] Speaker 1: and say, my people entertaining them. This is God using
[1:26:05] Speaker 1: yielded vessels to speak to all of us. There is
[1:26:12] Speaker 1: a character disposition that must be restored to the body
[1:26:15] Speaker 1: of Christ. A perpetual recognition that outside of the cross,
[1:26:23] Speaker 1: The best of our effort, even though spiritual, will end
[1:26:27] Speaker 1: up in futility. Did you hear what I said? The
[1:26:30] Speaker 1: best of our efforts. It is the reason why you
[1:26:33] Speaker 1: see God raise some of us with no sense of comeliness. Yes,
[1:26:37] Speaker 1: he continues to glorify God in our lives.
[1:26:39] Speaker 2: It is a message.
[1:26:41] Speaker 1: God told me this and I've announced it to you
[1:26:43] Speaker 1: many times. That he said, if you will let men
[1:26:47] Speaker 1: see me, there is nothing I will not give you.
[1:26:52] Speaker 1: Now let me tell you the truth and I admit
[1:26:53] Speaker 1: to you, and with all due respect to the body
[1:26:56] Speaker 1: of Christ, it is very difficult for a man of
[1:26:59] Speaker 1: God to say what I'm saying to you like this.
[1:27:01] Speaker 1: That you don't know some things? Will people respect you
[1:27:05] Speaker 1: after that one? Will they come back again to hear you?
[1:27:08] Speaker 1: Now what you need to understand is that members are
[1:27:11] Speaker 1: not stupid people. Whether you tell them or not, they
[1:27:13] Speaker 1: know the truth. Are we together now? But they respect
[1:27:19] Speaker 1: those who admit that they are learning. And they can
[1:27:22] Speaker 1: see your sincere press. But when you stand and carry
[1:27:26] Speaker 1: a know-it-all mentality, and yet there is no result to show.
[1:27:30] Speaker 1: There are many other heights I need to step into.
[1:27:33] Speaker 1: Every time I read my Bible, do you know sincerely,
[1:27:36] Speaker 1: I don't feel discouraged. But my God, sometimes I just
[1:27:39] Speaker 1: sit down and I say, God, when will we catch up?
[1:27:41] Speaker 2: This distance is so far.
[1:27:47] Speaker 1: In Bible days, I would not qualify to be in
[1:27:49] Speaker 1: welfare departmental. Based on the qualifications they put there.
[1:27:54] Speaker 2: No.
[1:27:56] Speaker 1: I will still come for interview again. Me, Joshua Selman.
[1:27:59] Speaker 1: The one you are clapping, man of God. King of
[1:28:02] Speaker 1: kings for some. Lord of lords for others. I take
[1:28:11] Speaker 1: away from your life by the spirit.
[1:28:13] Speaker 2: The spirit of pride. Pride.
[1:28:17] Speaker 1: Every arrival mentality that will not allow you to settle
[1:28:21] Speaker 1: down and be sincere with yourself. To learn the ways
[1:28:25] Speaker 1: of God. To learn the precepts of God. I curse
[1:28:29] Speaker 1: it right now in Jesus name. Let me speak in love.
[1:28:35] Speaker 1: Particularly to younger ministers.
[1:28:39] Speaker 2: Never give up.
[1:28:40] Speaker 1: Get yourself believing that you are better or greater than
[1:28:43] Speaker 1: the fathers.
[1:28:44] Speaker 2: You are wasting your time.
[1:28:46] Speaker 1: These fathers, you see, there are things they have seen.
[1:28:50] Speaker 1: There are many of us, particularly younger ministers, who have
[1:28:53] Speaker 1: not even started.
[1:28:54] Speaker 2: But our pride will not allow us to be used
[1:28:57] Speaker 2: by God.
[1:28:58] Speaker 1: It is true that there is a mandate upon our lives.
[1:29:01] Speaker 1: But can I tell you, these fathers have lasted decades
[1:29:05] Speaker 1: serving the Lord.
[1:29:06] Speaker 2: We need to be careful. Our works are even yet
[1:29:09] Speaker 2: to be vetted.
[1:29:10] Speaker 1: But these are men who God has granted them grace.
[1:29:13] Speaker 2: They have stood through storms. They have stood through rains.
[1:29:17] Speaker 1: Things that some of us will not even be able
[1:29:19] Speaker 1: to pass the test of half of it. The generation
[1:29:25] Speaker 1: that dishonors their fathers is the generation that will never
[1:29:28] Speaker 1: receive any mantle. Let me say it again. The generation
[1:29:32] Speaker 1: that dishonors fathers, even if your father is Noah and
[1:29:38] Speaker 1: you saw him drink and was naked, You still deserve
[1:29:41] Speaker 1: that honor.
[1:29:42] Speaker 2: On to death.
[1:29:43] Speaker 1: The generation that becomes self-sufficient and believes that the fathers
[1:29:49] Speaker 1: have nothing to show. Oh, I have seen it all.
[1:29:52] Speaker 1: Is it not the prayer of our fathers? Is it
[1:29:54] Speaker 1: not God bless you? Is it not receive?
[1:29:57] Speaker 2: Be careful.
[1:29:59] Speaker 1: What makes the stature of a man is beyond his sermons.
[1:30:03] Speaker 1: What makes the stature of a man is his experience
[1:30:06] Speaker 1: with God and God's covenant with that man.
[1:30:14] Speaker 2: If you judge people by what.
[1:30:16] Speaker 1: You perceive to be quality of sermons or quality of charismatism,
[1:30:21] Speaker 1: you will make many mistakes. For instance, a man like
[1:30:25] Speaker 1: our father in the Lord, Baba Deboe, if he comes
[1:30:28] Speaker 1: here right now to come and preach, some of you maybe, maybe, maybe,
[1:30:36] Speaker 1: with all due respect, you may be sleeping and nodding
[1:30:39] Speaker 1: your head.
[1:30:40] Speaker 2: And saying, well, he's a father, we respect him. But, ah,
[1:30:43] Speaker 2: I didn't sleep yesterday.
[1:30:46] Speaker 1: John chapter 3 verse 16. John chapter 3 verse 16.
[1:30:50] Speaker 1: You turn there. And the arrogant person has finished quoting
[1:30:53] Speaker 1: it for him. For God so loved the world that
[1:30:55] Speaker 1: he gave his word. Okay, what is there now? What
[1:30:57] Speaker 1: is the Greek and Hebrew? And he says, well, because
[1:30:59] Speaker 1: of this. God wants to save you. He wants to
[1:31:03] Speaker 1: heal you. But let me speak a word of blessing
[1:31:05] Speaker 1: to someone. And you see someone who has not made it,
[1:31:08] Speaker 1: not raised anybody, is broke, is poor, doesn't have any discernment,
[1:31:12] Speaker 1: pocketing his hand and wondering. I'm not being sarcastic. I'm
[1:31:16] Speaker 1: just being passionate. And at the end of it, those
[1:31:19] Speaker 1: who have even made it are shouting amen sincerely. And
[1:31:24] Speaker 1: that person gets up and after two weeks, you vanish
[1:31:28] Speaker 1: out of relevance. I repeat to you, dear generation, what
[1:31:36] Speaker 1: makes the stature of a man in the.
[1:31:38] Speaker 2: Spirit is beyond the sermons. There is a.
[1:31:41] Speaker 1: Track record men have with God that God honors them
[1:31:45] Speaker 1: all through their lifetime.
[1:31:48] Speaker 2: And we must learn this.
[1:31:49] Speaker 1: There is a lot we must learn from the fathers.
[1:31:52] Speaker 1: Number two, there is a lot we must learn from
[1:31:55] Speaker 1: one another.
[1:31:57] Speaker 2: One another. One another. One another.
[1:32:00] Speaker 1: By this teaching, we must cast away the know-it-all mentality. Now,
[1:32:08] Speaker 1: Joshua Selman, is there any other thing you do not know?
[1:32:12] Speaker 1: Who would lie to you like that? Do you know
[1:32:15] Speaker 1: how many things I do not know? Do you know
[1:32:18] Speaker 1: how many other heights we need to cross in the spirit?
[1:32:22] Speaker 1: Never allow what you know to destroy your passion to
[1:32:26] Speaker 1: learn what you do not know. even if every sick
[1:32:37] Speaker 1: person that comes around me gets healed, even if every
[1:32:40] Speaker 1: oppressed person around me comes and is delivered, I still
[1:32:44] Speaker 1: have something to learn. You see, when I go for
[1:32:47] Speaker 1: meetings to teach, I go to be a blessing to
[1:32:50] Speaker 1: the people. But as I sit there, I'm like a sponge,
[1:32:53] Speaker 1: learning all I can learn. If I can learn spirituality,
[1:32:57] Speaker 1: I can learn excellence and administration. It's not an advantage
[1:33:01] Speaker 1: we had in the north by default, with all due respect.
[1:33:04] Speaker 1: Most of the things I learned in terms of administration
[1:33:07] Speaker 1: and leadership did.
[1:33:08] Speaker 2: Not come from my background.
[1:33:10] Speaker 1: Because I did not see that level of dexterity. Maybe
[1:33:14] Speaker 1: moral excellence, maybe sincerity. But I had to outsource from people.
[1:33:19] Speaker 1: For some of them, they received our spiritual understanding. In exchange,
[1:33:24] Speaker 1: we received their understanding of administration and dexterity. That sharing
[1:33:29] Speaker 1: is one of the things that God wants to restore
[1:33:31] Speaker 1: in the body of Christ. That we can sit down
[1:33:34] Speaker 1: and learn sincerely.
[1:33:35] Speaker 2: From one another.
[1:33:36] Speaker 1: The dimensions. There is no need trying to dig a
[1:33:40] Speaker 1: well that has been dug. If God has anointed and
[1:33:43] Speaker 1: graced a person in an area. It is important that
[1:33:46] Speaker 1: that grace is respected. And the riches from that grace
[1:33:50] Speaker 1: is received. This is how we will accelerate our becoming
[1:33:54] Speaker 1: a mighty vessel.
[1:33:55] Speaker 3: Hallelujah.
[1:34:00] Speaker 1: No matter how many things you know about prayer, my God,
[1:34:03] Speaker 1: there are people who have been praying before we were born.
[1:34:08] Speaker 1: There are campgrounds in this nation where prayer is 24 hours.
[1:34:12] Speaker 2: Even if you have been.
[1:34:13] Speaker 1: Making mistakes in prayer for 30 years, I think you
[1:34:15] Speaker 1: should have learned something there.
[1:34:19] Speaker 2: There is always something we can learn. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
[1:34:25] Speaker 1: I can tell you graces that I've met and the
[1:34:28] Speaker 1: things that I've learned. I remember one time, years ago,
[1:34:34] Speaker 1: I was just getting to know, with all due respect,
[1:34:36] Speaker 1: I was just getting to know Living Faith. Do you
[1:34:38] Speaker 1: know how I got to know about God's servant? It
[1:34:40] Speaker 1: was the kind of testimonies I was hearing. That someone
[1:34:44] Speaker 1: will tell you that he was a cleaner and by
[1:34:48] Speaker 1: the next week he's a manager. What kind of testimony
[1:34:52] Speaker 1: is this? A cleaner then becomes a manager. No interview.
[1:34:58] Speaker 1: And I decided, I said, what kind of grace is this?
[1:35:00] Speaker 1: We were not born to see that kind of grace.
[1:35:03] Speaker 1: So we opened up our hearts. There must be something here. Lord,
[1:35:07] Speaker 1: with humility, this grace is for our taking and they
[1:35:11] Speaker 1: give it freely. What honor component must come in to receive?
[1:35:16] Speaker 1: And some of the things we have gotten today has
[1:35:19] Speaker 1: come from these streams. Every time I've had the honor
[1:35:26] Speaker 1: to meet our father in the Lord.
[1:35:29] Speaker 2: That is you.
[1:35:30] Speaker 1: I don't go there as a man of God bragging.
[1:35:33] Speaker 1: I'm in a hurry to go on my knees. Lord,
[1:35:35] Speaker 1: what else is it upon this man's life that can
[1:35:38] Speaker 1: be useful for the sake of the generation we're representing?
[1:35:42] Speaker 1: This is not human worship. I remember one time I've shared.
[1:35:46] Speaker 2: With you the story. I went to preach for a.
[1:35:48] Speaker 1: Particular ministry and they kept me at the prayer city,
[1:35:52] Speaker 1: MFM prayer city. I slept quietly when it was night
[1:35:57] Speaker 1: and all the protocol that came had gone back. I
[1:35:59] Speaker 1: came out by myself and strolled around that place and prayed.
[1:36:03] Speaker 1: I said, Lord, whatever you deposited here, Koinonia does not
[1:36:08] Speaker 1: have a campground yet. Do you know the grace that
[1:36:11] Speaker 1: made this people go to the bush and turned it
[1:36:13] Speaker 1: into cities?
[1:36:14] Speaker 2: Come on now. Don't tell me that is intelligence. You
[1:36:18] Speaker 2: try it.
[1:36:22] Speaker 1: Do you notice there was a grace that was released
[1:36:25] Speaker 1: upon that generation? They all caught it. Bushes to cities.
[1:36:29] Speaker 1: You are still struggling to get a duplex, a bungalow,
[1:36:33] Speaker 1: and yet there are graces. Listen, every challenge in the
[1:36:38] Speaker 1: body of Christ has somebody in the body of Christ
[1:36:42] Speaker 1: who carries the.
[1:36:42] Speaker 2: Anointing to solve it.
[1:36:44] Speaker 1: It is lack of discernment and sheer dishonor to one another.
[1:36:50] Speaker 1: vertically and horizontally that is responsible for our stuntedness there
[1:36:55] Speaker 1: are people who were born from families full of poverty
[1:36:59] Speaker 1: they cried unto god they fasted they covenanted with god
[1:37:04] Speaker 1: and jehovah jireh showed up for them and told them
[1:37:07] Speaker 1: i want to give you the keys that can bring
[1:37:10] Speaker 1: people into blessings when they found it they said body
[1:37:13] Speaker 1: of christ there is something i found and those who
[1:37:15] Speaker 1: don't even have it insulted it looks like every generation
[1:37:20] Speaker 1: seems to master the art.
[1:37:21] Speaker 2: Of persecuting their saviors.
[1:37:25] Speaker 1: So if someone comes up now and says god said
[1:37:29] Speaker 1: i should prosper you the next thing you find out
[1:37:32] Speaker 1: what what do i need the prosperity for Listen, I
[1:37:36] Speaker 1: don't want to tell you the bills, the things that
[1:37:39] Speaker 1: have been paid and will be paid for for this conference.
[1:37:43] Speaker 1: If I tell some of you, you will not sleep
[1:37:44] Speaker 1: this night. You saw that venue we are clapping about?
[1:37:48] Speaker 1: Use your intelligence. That kind of beautiful venue, if it's
[1:37:51] Speaker 1: your own, how much will you give it out? The
[1:37:59] Speaker 1: venue you are sitting in right now, down to all
[1:38:02] Speaker 1: the overflows, the basement, outside, if it is your property,
[1:38:06] Speaker 1: how much do you think it is to run Koinonia
[1:38:08] Speaker 1: every service? And you are not raising any extra offering.
[1:38:11] Speaker 1: You are enjoying now, everything is working, you are fine.
[1:38:16] Speaker 1: The security architecture in this ministry alone, let me leave.
[1:38:21] Speaker 2: That to glory be to God.
[1:38:37] Speaker 1: The revival that is coming and the vessels that God desire,
[1:38:42] Speaker 1: please hear me, they must be vessels that are yielded
[1:38:46] Speaker 1: enough First, loving Jesus with all your heart. But number two,
[1:38:52] Speaker 1: respecting the investment of the Spirit that has been scattered
[1:38:57] Speaker 1: across the body of Christ. No matter how you walk
[1:39:00] Speaker 1: with God personally, you will not get every grace you
[1:39:03] Speaker 1: need directly from Him. Did you hear what I said?
[1:39:06] Speaker 1: No matter how close you walk with God personally, The
[1:39:10] Speaker 1: graces that you will need have been carefully distributed across
[1:39:15] Speaker 1: the body. It will take humility and submission to God,
[1:39:20] Speaker 1: to one another, to his system. There are many churches today.
[1:39:26] Speaker 1: who have some of the most brilliant minds in the
[1:39:29] Speaker 1: nation as the members.
[1:39:31] Speaker 2: And most of the problems.
[1:39:33] Speaker 1: That plague those churches, there are consultants.
[1:39:36] Speaker 2: In those churches.
[1:39:37] Speaker 1: In five minutes, they can create a financial model, a
[1:39:41] Speaker 1: leadership model that will take that church out of suffering
[1:39:44] Speaker 1: and mediocrity and numerical decline forever. And yet we men
[1:39:49] Speaker 1: of God come with our pride. Just because intelligent people
[1:39:52] Speaker 1: submit to listen to us, we think that we are
[1:39:55] Speaker 1: talking to a band of dummies. Koinonia for a case study.
[1:39:58] Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, you have no idea the kind of
[1:40:02] Speaker 1: intelligent professionals. Some of them sit only in the overflow.
[1:40:07] Speaker 1: They don't even come inside. These are people of pedigree.
[1:40:11] Speaker 1: And they just come to learn and listen quietly. This
[1:40:15] Speaker 1: is the generation that must adopt humility. So we do
[1:40:19] Speaker 1: not make a mess of ourselves in pride. And then
[1:40:22] Speaker 1: we do not mislead a generation to follow through. The
[1:40:27] Speaker 1: basis of the power of God revealed in our generation,
[1:40:31] Speaker 1: I repeat, is not our self-sufficiency. I began to see
[1:40:35] Speaker 1: the power of God in my life when he helped
[1:40:38] Speaker 1: me die to self, self-sufficiency.
[1:40:41] Speaker 2: I fasted.
[1:40:42] Speaker 1: I pray, oh, I study God's word. But let me
[1:40:45] Speaker 1: tell you the truth. I have never credited my growth
[1:40:49] Speaker 1: to any of these things. I am what I am
[1:40:52] Speaker 1: by the grace of God. It is true that this
[1:40:55] Speaker 1: grace was not showered on me. In that I labored
[1:40:58] Speaker 1: more than ye all. But every time I pray. I
[1:41:01] Speaker 1: pray standing behind the cross.
[1:41:03] Speaker 2: I fast.
[1:41:04] Speaker 1: I fast standing behind the cross. I study the word.
[1:41:08] Speaker 1: I study the word standing behind the cross. When I'm
[1:41:10] Speaker 1: coming for any service.
[1:41:12] Speaker 2: Any other service. The miracle services. I stand behind the cross.
[1:41:18] Speaker 1: The sound of revival conferences is not just a great
[1:41:21] Speaker 1: man of God going to meet a bunch of sinners
[1:41:24] Speaker 1: in America, a bunch of sinners around the world. No,
[1:41:27] Speaker 1: that self-righteousness will always produce embarrassment. God sees my heart
[1:41:33] Speaker 1: that what we are doing as a vision is making
[1:41:35] Speaker 1: our own contribution to this kingdom come agenda. It is
[1:41:39] Speaker 1: the reason why God keeps glorifying himself the way he does.
[1:41:44] Speaker 1: Within 48 hours, A significant portion of the space that
[1:41:49] Speaker 1: was allotted for the conference has been filled up. Nicodemus
[1:41:53] Speaker 1: came and told Jesus, no man can do this except
[1:41:57] Speaker 1: God be with him. You try to use another formula
[1:42:01] Speaker 1: out of Jesus Christ. See, idolatry is not only worshipping idols.
[1:42:06] Speaker 1: Idolatry is also worshipping yourself.
[1:42:11] Speaker 2: You may not build an idol.
[1:42:13] Speaker 1: You may not go and get some ugly thing and
[1:42:16] Speaker 1: tie a red band around it. But worshipping yourself in
[1:42:19] Speaker 1: self-sufficiency is idolatry. He said, thou shalt have no gods
[1:42:25] Speaker 1: including yourself.
[1:42:30] Speaker 2: Are we learning now? I want you to try this.
[1:42:35] Speaker 1: Let Jesus be the central focus.
[1:42:37] Speaker 2: You are a man of God.
[1:42:38] Speaker 1: Don't go and say in this ministry, we cannot fail. Everything,
[1:42:42] Speaker 1: I'm not downplaying, pay your price. But behind that price,
[1:42:48] Speaker 1: hide behind the real price that was paid.
[1:42:54] Speaker 2: Are we together?
[1:42:58] Speaker 1: We do a lot of dispatch riding here in Abuja.
[1:43:01] Speaker 1: There are times that you can order a meal. Someone
[1:43:04] Speaker 1: can pay for the meal for you. And then he
[1:43:06] Speaker 1: tells you just coordinate the delivery to your house. Maybe
[1:43:11] Speaker 1: what you ordered for, maybe say 500,000. And then what
[1:43:16] Speaker 1: you are transporting to your house, maybe 1 or 2,000.
[1:43:20] Speaker 2: By the time you become.
[1:43:21] Speaker 1: So conscious of your transport fare, that you forget the
[1:43:25] Speaker 1: price of what you are even transporting to yourself, you
[1:43:27] Speaker 1: are in trouble.
[1:43:28] Speaker 2: This is how it is.
[1:43:31] Speaker 1: The price that we pay is not the price for creation.
[1:43:35] Speaker 1: It's the price for delivery. Did you hear what I said?
[1:43:41] Speaker 1: There is a price to pay. Don't get me wrong.
[1:43:45] Speaker 1: But the price to pay is not the price for miracles.
[1:43:49] Speaker 1: You cannot pay the price for miracles. You cannot pay
[1:43:52] Speaker 1: the price for prosperity. You cannot pay the price for
[1:43:55] Speaker 1: signs and wonders. We only pay the price of faith
[1:43:59] Speaker 1: and obedience that coordinates the delivery of what Jesus himself
[1:44:04] Speaker 1: paid for.
[1:44:05] Speaker 2: This is what I'm trying to correct.
[1:44:08] Speaker 1: In our minds, we believe that we went to the
[1:44:12] Speaker 1: mall in the spirit ourselves and carried healing by our
[1:44:15] Speaker 1: own might. And we are walking into a crusade ground
[1:44:18] Speaker 1: through our fasting, through our prayer, through our Bible study.
[1:44:23] Speaker 2: No, sir.
[1:44:24] Speaker 1: The price that the believer prays is not the price
[1:44:27] Speaker 1: to create miracles. It's not the price to create results.
[1:44:31] Speaker 1: Is the price in righteousness. As our participation with God.
[1:44:35] Speaker 1: To bring that which has been delivered. It was until
[1:44:39] Speaker 1: I studied T.L. Osborne's material. That I saw this. I
[1:44:43] Speaker 1: said this is the key. This is what I've been missing.
[1:44:46] Speaker 1: This is what my generation is missing.
[1:44:48] Speaker 2: In our minds.
[1:44:49] Speaker 1: We think we are paying the price Jesus paid. No
[1:44:52] Speaker 1: man can pay that price. But we pay the price
[1:44:55] Speaker 1: of delivery. When I fasted. When I pray, I am
[1:45:00] Speaker 1: not fasting and praying because that is the reason why
[1:45:04] Speaker 1: the sick will be healed.
[1:45:05] Speaker 2: That would be a lie.
[1:45:07] Speaker 1: I cannot fast enough to raise anybody from a wheelchair.
[1:45:11] Speaker 1: I cannot pray enough to shift any climate by myself.
[1:45:15] Speaker 1: What we pray and fast and study to do is
[1:45:19] Speaker 1: to grant us illumination.
[1:45:21] Speaker 2: Watch this now. To be able to.
[1:45:23] Speaker 1: Safely receive that which has come from him and to
[1:45:27] Speaker 1: deliver it safely to the people.
[1:45:29] Speaker 2: You get that?
[1:45:31] Speaker 1: If you understand what I just told you, you have
[1:45:33] Speaker 1: understood my message tonight.
[1:45:36] Speaker 2: It is not a call to hate fasting. No.
[1:45:39] Speaker 1: It is not a call to hate prayer. No. It
[1:45:42] Speaker 1: is not a call to reject dissipating energy for your growth.
[1:45:47] Speaker 2: But have it at the back of your mind.
[1:45:49] Speaker 1: If you ever see one person shout under the anointing
[1:45:52] Speaker 1: in Koinonia, you ever see anybody rise up Throw a crutch,
[1:45:57] Speaker 1: a wheelchair, blind eyes open. Don't just think Joshua Selman.
[1:46:02] Speaker 1: Think Joshua Selman later, but think Jesus now. If I
[1:46:07] Speaker 1: ever make any altar call and people come, chances are
[1:46:11] Speaker 1: excellent you will say this is an anointed man of God.
[1:46:14] Speaker 2: Say that later on. You are not wrong.
[1:46:16] Speaker 1: But what you should say is Jesus. People fasted before
[1:46:22] Speaker 1: Jesus died. He didn't produce power. The scribes As much
[1:46:27] Speaker 1: as I know a bit of scripture, I don't know
[1:46:29] Speaker 1: the five books of Moses in my head. I don't
[1:46:32] Speaker 1: even have a space for it. Are we together now?
[1:46:35] Speaker 1: The one in my phone is enough. I will not
[1:46:37] Speaker 1: put that kind of luggage in my head. Yet there
[1:46:41] Speaker 1: were people who knew it. I hope you know many
[1:46:44] Speaker 1: of the blessings we quote was in their head and
[1:46:46] Speaker 1: yet it did not speak. Listen, if you buy a
[1:46:50] Speaker 1: new fridge and you don't power it to electricity, it
[1:46:54] Speaker 1: will still not work. If you buy a television and
[1:46:57] Speaker 1: you don't power it to electricity, it will not work.
[1:47:00] Speaker 1: Tonight's message is a clarion call on my generation. We
[1:47:04] Speaker 1: need to understand and define what we call the price
[1:47:08] Speaker 1: for revival. The price for power. The ultimate price has
[1:47:13] Speaker 1: been paid. If we are trying to pay.
[1:47:16] Speaker 2: It, it's deception. The price that we pay.
[1:47:21] Speaker 1: In righteousness is the price of alignment so that we
[1:47:26] Speaker 1: can safely deliver by capacity and all be it is
[1:47:32] Speaker 1: still by grace. It is not of him that willeth
[1:47:36] Speaker 1: nor of him that runneth but it is of the
[1:47:38] Speaker 1: Lord that showeth mercy. I remember when I stepped into
[1:47:41] Speaker 1: Manchester for the crusade. When I stepped in and I
[1:47:44] Speaker 1: sat down and I saw the crowds of people. And
[1:47:48] Speaker 1: in a few minutes I was going to walk up
[1:47:50] Speaker 1: and preach. I knew they were sick people. These were
[1:47:54] Speaker 1: not people who were my people. That if they are
[1:47:56] Speaker 1: not healed. They will say let's pity him and come out.
[1:47:58] Speaker 1: I knew I had to pray for the sick. That's
[1:48:01] Speaker 1: why people would not lie. And I was standing there
[1:48:05] Speaker 1: before the whole world. You think it was the consciousness
[1:48:07] Speaker 1: of my fasting?
[1:48:09] Speaker 2: No.
[1:48:13] Speaker 1: When God began to do the things that he did.
[1:48:16] Speaker 1: tears almost came down my eyes and all I saw
[1:48:20] Speaker 1: was the cross.
[1:48:22] Speaker 2: The cross. The cross.
[1:48:26] Speaker 1: I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ. I
[1:48:29] Speaker 1: can be ashamed of my fasting. I can be ashamed
[1:48:32] Speaker 1: of my prayer.
[1:48:33] Speaker 2: But not the gospel.
[1:48:34] Speaker 1: So my dear people. Continue your fasting and finish it well.
[1:48:39] Speaker 1: Continue your prayer and finish it well. But remember, never
[1:48:44] Speaker 1: try to elevate yourself through pride and self-righteousness. That now
[1:48:49] Speaker 1: that I am done with my fasting, now that I
[1:48:52] Speaker 1: gave one million to God, now that I just finished Revelations.
[1:48:56] Speaker 2: 22, my life must change. No.
[1:49:00] Speaker 1: We pay our price hiding behind the cross. Let me
[1:49:05] Speaker 1: say this again. This is the generation. These are the
[1:49:10] Speaker 1: mighty men that will become mighty in the spirit.
[1:49:13] Speaker 2: But our concept of.
[1:49:14] Speaker 1: Being mighty is mighty through God. Not mighty in ourselves.
[1:49:21] Speaker 1: If you think there will be a sudden emergence of
[1:49:24] Speaker 1: macho men who can shout more than we are shouting,
[1:49:27] Speaker 1: you will be disappointed. That is not the description of
[1:49:29] Speaker 1: the army. Let me tell you the kind of army
[1:49:32] Speaker 1: you are going to see. Ordinary men. More ordinary than
[1:49:35] Speaker 1: you see. Did you hear what I'm telling you? You
[1:49:38] Speaker 1: are going to see ordinary men that do not look
[1:49:40] Speaker 1: like it. You will look at the lady and size
[1:49:43] Speaker 1: her and say, you, it is you God is going
[1:49:46] Speaker 1: to use to change this place in Kogi state. And
[1:49:48] Speaker 1: she'll say, he told me.
[1:49:52] Speaker 2: And you say, God, you must be joking. This weak lady?
[1:49:57] Speaker 1: Surely Eliab is the Lord's anointed.
[1:49:59] Speaker 2: And he says, no. No.
[1:50:02] Speaker 1: Eliab is well built. But this is not how I
[1:50:04] Speaker 1: see things. Go to the bush.
[1:50:06] Speaker 2: There is a young boy there.
[1:50:09] Speaker 1: Now that young boy practiced how to throw his sling.
[1:50:14] Speaker 1: But it was not the sling. It was the power
[1:50:16] Speaker 1: of God. When he said I come to you. In
[1:50:20] Speaker 1: the name of the Lord God. Of the armies of Israel.
[1:50:23] Speaker 1: He was still holding a sling. That sling is your fasting.
[1:50:27] Speaker 1: That sling is your prayer. That sling is your bible study.
[1:50:31] Speaker 1: That sling is your consecration.
[1:50:33] Speaker 2: Are we together now?
[1:50:34] Speaker 1: That sling is your giving. But as you use your fasting.
[1:50:38] Speaker 1: As you use your prayer. As you use your bible study.
[1:50:42] Speaker 1: The moment you throw it. Know that in itself. It
[1:50:45] Speaker 1: cannot bring Goliath down. But there is a force that
[1:50:49] Speaker 1: rides upon your fasting. There is a force that rides
[1:50:53] Speaker 1: upon your prayer. There is a force that rides upon
[1:50:56] Speaker 1: your giving. That force is not an it.
[1:51:00] Speaker 2: It's a him. It's called Jesus. Jesus.
[1:51:11] Speaker 1: I suddenly found a missing link. I prayed and I said, Lord,
[1:51:15] Speaker 1: open my eyes.
[1:51:17] Speaker 2: Where is this here?
[1:51:18] Speaker 1: So the balance here is, there are people who when
[1:51:21] Speaker 1: they find out that the ultimate price has been paid, Jesus,
[1:51:26] Speaker 1: let me use this to balance up and then we'll
[1:51:28] Speaker 1: wrap up.
[1:51:29] Speaker 2: There is an error.
[1:51:31] Speaker 1: That can come out of what I've just said, if
[1:51:33] Speaker 1: not balanced. It is the error of complacency that will
[1:51:39] Speaker 1: make us say, okay, Jesus has paid the price.
[1:51:42] Speaker 2: Why fast? Why pray? Why give?
[1:51:46] Speaker 1: Remember the story of David and Goliath. Remember the story
[1:51:53] Speaker 1: of my dispatch rider. These are stories to help you
[1:51:56] Speaker 1: connect between your price.
[1:51:58] Speaker 2: And his price. His price bought the product.
[1:52:02] Speaker 1: Your price helps to guarantee his delivery to you. David
[1:52:09] Speaker 1: went to the battle... By his own effort... He went there...
[1:52:13] Speaker 1: The sling... And the training of it... Was his personal practice...
[1:52:18] Speaker 1: But when it had to do with bringing Goliath down.
[1:52:21] Speaker 2: He threw that sling.
[1:52:23] Speaker 1: A combination of fasting... A combination of prayer... A combination
[1:52:27] Speaker 1: of reading.
[1:52:28] Speaker 2: All the books.
[1:52:29] Speaker 1: When he threw it... There was effort on his part...
[1:52:33] Speaker 1: But he would have missed Goliath anyway... But when that
[1:52:37] Speaker 1: divine power... Push that sling. It hit Goliath once.
[1:52:43] Speaker 2: This is how to.
[1:52:44] Speaker 1: Make fasting profitable. When fasting hides behind the cross. It
[1:52:49] Speaker 1: becomes powerful. When giving hides behind the cross. it becomes powerful.
[1:52:55] Speaker 1: Are we together now? When praying hides behind the cross,
[1:52:59] Speaker 1: it becomes powerful. When Bible study hides behind the cross,
[1:53:04] Speaker 1: it becomes powerful. When Greek and Hebrew and Latin and
[1:53:08] Speaker 1: Aramaic words hide behind the cross, they become powerful. The
[1:53:14] Speaker 1: moment you replace the cross, all you carry.
[1:53:17] Speaker 2: Is a sling.
[1:53:18] Speaker 1: All you carry is a dispatch rider with no product.
[1:53:22] Speaker 1: So we come to people and say, you know what?
[1:53:24] Speaker 1: You will be healed now. If you are not healed,
[1:53:27] Speaker 1: I'm not Joshua Selman. And at the end of it,
[1:53:29] Speaker 1: we don't change our names because the.
[1:53:31] Speaker 2: People were not healed. Because we came with a sling.
[1:53:36] Speaker 1: And even though we say in Jesus' name, the truth
[1:53:39] Speaker 1: is that it's not with the consciousness to decrease so
[1:53:43] Speaker 1: that he will increase. Ladies and gentlemen, all those auditoriums
[1:53:47] Speaker 1: you saw for US, for UK, For Canada will be
[1:53:53] Speaker 1: packed full with hungry people. And this frail man you
[1:53:56] Speaker 1: see standing before you, as frail as you still see me,
[1:54:00] Speaker 1: will be standing there before those people. The only difference
[1:54:04] Speaker 1: is that I will be hiding behind the cross. And
[1:54:17] Speaker 1: it is because of Jesus. That is what will give
[1:54:21] Speaker 1: value to our fasting. All I'm carrying there is the sling.
[1:54:25] Speaker 2: I will fast. I will pray. I will study.
[1:54:29] Speaker 1: There will be a sermon I will preach that day.
[1:54:31] Speaker 1: There will be people worshipping. Everything you heard the worship
[1:54:35] Speaker 1: team sing was a sling. What you are hearing me
[1:54:38] Speaker 1: say now is still the sling. When you see people
[1:54:42] Speaker 1: come here to give their lives to Christ. That penetrating
[1:54:45] Speaker 1: power that is getting into your spirit.
[1:54:48] Speaker 2: That one is not my salmon again. It is a cross.
[1:54:51] Speaker 2: Amplifying what I'm doing.
[1:54:53] Speaker 1: That is why sometimes you will hear us communicate in
[1:54:55] Speaker 1: the most basic way.
[1:54:57] Speaker 2: As childish as Reinhard Bonnke.
[1:54:59] Speaker 1: Do you know the kind of big cross that was
[1:55:01] Speaker 1: behind Reinhard Bonnke? Now you know why the sick were healed.
[1:55:04] Speaker 1: Man of God, I give you a formula. Go and
[1:55:07] Speaker 1: try it and come back rejoicing. Listen, they returned to
[1:55:13] Speaker 1: Jesus rejoicing and said, even the demons were subject to us.
[1:55:18] Speaker 1: Not because of anything we did in your name. Africa
[1:55:23] Speaker 1: is a praying continent.
[1:55:27] Speaker 2: Commendable.
[1:55:28] Speaker 1: We must retain that template.
[1:55:31] Speaker 2: Africa is a fasting continent.
[1:55:34] Speaker 1: Commendable. We must retain that template. Africa is a giving continent. Commendable.
[1:55:42] Speaker 1: We must retain that template. Africa is a watch, study,
[1:55:47] Speaker 1: church going, conference holding continent.
[1:55:52] Speaker 2: We must maintain that template.
[1:55:54] Speaker 1: But what we need to reintroduce to Africa is that
[1:55:58] Speaker 1: all things must step back.
[1:56:00] Speaker 2: And allow the cross.
[1:56:02] Speaker 1: Which is the ultimate price. And allow Jesus. Who truly
[1:56:07] Speaker 1: paid the ultimate price. He must take the stage in
[1:56:10] Speaker 1: our churches. That while we are fasting. We must let
[1:56:14] Speaker 1: people know. That the assignment of my fasting. Is not
[1:56:18] Speaker 1: to create healing. Not to create salvation. is to help
[1:56:22] Speaker 1: my alignment. My fasting does not help God. My prayer
[1:56:26] Speaker 1: does not help God. My prayer does not make Jesus strong.
[1:56:30] Speaker 1: My word study does not make Jesus strong. Every spiritual
[1:56:34] Speaker 1: activity affects me, not God. From His end, all things
[1:56:40] Speaker 1: are finished. My assignment is to keep aligning.
[1:56:46] Speaker 2: Take it lower for me. It's time to sing and
[1:56:49] Speaker 2: wrap up.
[1:56:50] Speaker 1: He won't stop He won't stop till.
[1:56:54] Speaker 2: I look just like him.
[1:56:57] Speaker 5: He won't stop, no he won't stop Till my life.
[1:57:02] Speaker 2: Looks like him.
[1:57:05] Speaker 5: God is raising mighty men in this place God is
[1:57:12] Speaker 5: raising people of power.
[1:57:14] Speaker 2: In this place He won't stop, he.
[1:57:18] Speaker 5: Won't stop Till I look just like him.
[1:57:22] Speaker 2: He won't stop. He won't stop. Till my life builds right.
[1:57:29] Speaker 2: Hear me. If I tell you today. Koinonia Global. If
[1:57:34] Speaker 2: I tell you today. That I am where I am.
[1:57:38] Speaker 1: Having the kind of grace that God has given me.
[1:57:41] Speaker 1: Enjoying the privileged influence that God has given me. Entirely
[1:57:46] Speaker 1: as a product. Of the correctness. Of my Bible study.
[1:57:51] Speaker 1: My prayer life. My fasting.
[1:57:54] Speaker 2: I am a liar.
[1:57:55] Speaker 1: Did you hear what I said? Let me repeat it again.
[1:57:59] Speaker 1: If I tell you God is doing what he's doing
[1:58:02] Speaker 1: through me. Simply because I fasted more than everybody. I
[1:58:06] Speaker 1: prayed more than everybody. I confessed God's word more than everybody.
[1:58:10] Speaker 2: Everybody. It's a lie.
[1:58:11] Speaker 1: I know people we are raising who have not come
[1:58:14] Speaker 1: close to their hours and days of fasting. I told
[1:58:17] Speaker 1: you about the gentleman who fasted for 400 days.
[1:58:21] Speaker 2: I wrapped up the meeting with him.
[1:58:24] Speaker 1: And that gentleman has not raised one person from a wheelchair.
[1:58:28] Speaker 2: That the excellency of power may be of God.
[1:58:34] Speaker 1: It is the reason why I do not count anything
[1:58:37] Speaker 1: in my life worthy of bragging about. Because the price
[1:58:42] Speaker 1: that I'm mandated to pay. I repeat, is the price
[1:58:46] Speaker 1: for delivery, not price for creation. Price for delivery, not
[1:58:51] Speaker 1: price for creation. So if I say in the name
[1:58:54] Speaker 1: of Jesus, Lord heal the people, bless the people. I
[1:58:58] Speaker 1: am not making the miracles happen necessarily. The miracles are
[1:59:04] Speaker 1: there in the spirit. I am aligning myself and fulfilling
[1:59:08] Speaker 1: the ordinances that have been connected to.
[1:59:11] Speaker 2: Their safe delivery. It's enough to make.
[1:59:13] Speaker 1: You qualified enough to host the revival coming.
[1:59:25] Speaker 2: In the name of Jesus, the son of the living God. Alleluia.
[1:59:33] Speaker 1: I want you to listen to this message before Sunday. Please,
[1:59:37] Speaker 1: take it as a prophetic instruction. I'm saying this to
[1:59:40] Speaker 1: Koinonia Global. Go to Koinonia Global. Listen to this message
[1:59:45] Speaker 1: at least two times. Please, just take this as a
[1:59:49] Speaker 1: prophetic instruction. Go and listen to it again. Some this night,
[1:59:55] Speaker 1: some by tomorrow.
[1:59:56] Speaker 2: This time around, listen to it prayerfully. Find yourself in
[2:00:00] Speaker 2: this sermon and pray.
[2:00:03] Speaker 1: For some of you, while you are praying, you can
[2:00:05] Speaker 1: even add fasting. Now you know your fasting will work.
[2:00:10] Speaker 1: Because the fasting does not change God. It aligns you
[2:00:13] Speaker 1: so that you will hear something then that you did
[2:00:15] Speaker 1: not hear now. Paul said that all he desired to
[2:00:24] Speaker 1: know was Christ crucified.
[2:00:27] Speaker 2: No wonder he was powerful.
[2:00:30] Speaker 1: You think it was because of Paul's fasting and prayer?
[2:00:32] Speaker 1: You think it was because of Peter's fasting and prayer?
[2:00:35] Speaker 1: How many times did Jesus himself fast and pray in
[2:00:38] Speaker 1: the Bible? 40 days, once. How many 40 days have
[2:00:41] Speaker 1: you done? Now, I'm not downplaying it. How many times
[2:00:46] Speaker 1: did you see him reading the Bible? He went to
[2:00:48] Speaker 1: the temple as his custom was. How many other times
[2:00:51] Speaker 1: did he go when he started? I'm not downplaying these things.
[2:00:54] Speaker 1: But I'm saying the master went to make this happen.
[2:00:59] Speaker 1: I will never believe my fasting is the reason why
[2:01:03] Speaker 1: God is doing what he's doing.
[2:01:04] Speaker 2: Nor my prayer.
[2:01:05] Speaker 1: I will keep paying the price. But for me, and
[2:01:09] Speaker 1: for this global family, if anybody asks you, what is
[2:01:14] Speaker 1: the true secret behind the mighty hand of God in
[2:01:19] Speaker 1: this ministry and in the life of this man? If
[2:01:22] Speaker 1: you say Bible study, you didn't answer accurately. If you
[2:01:27] Speaker 1: say fasting, You didn't answer accurately. If you say word study. Consecration.
[2:01:33] Speaker 1: You didn't answer accurately. The real answer is the consciousness.
[2:01:38] Speaker 1: Of Christ crucified. And the reality of this resurrected power.
[2:01:43] Speaker 1: At work in mortal vessels.
[2:01:45] Speaker 2: Then.
[2:01:46] Speaker 1: When you say that. You can say those riches in glory.
[2:01:50] Speaker 1: Were enhanced and made manifest.
[2:01:53] Speaker 2: Through fasting. You are right. Through Bible study. You are right.
[2:01:58] Speaker 1: Through prayer, you are right. Through consecration, you are right.
[2:02:02] Speaker 1: This is the real secret of revival. Lift your hands. Father,
[2:02:07] Speaker 1: in the name of Jesus, I pray over your precious people.
[2:02:12] Speaker 1: I have brought your truth as you have shared to me.
[2:02:15] Speaker 1: The real secret that made generals. The secret we've been
[2:02:19] Speaker 1: trying to find.
[2:02:20] Speaker 2: For a long time.
[2:02:23] Speaker 1: You have granted us access to it by mercy. That
[2:02:26] Speaker 1: the secret is the cross. The secret is Jesus. The
[2:02:30] Speaker 1: consciousness of the ultimate price that has been paid.
[2:02:34] Speaker 2: Alongside the price.
[2:02:36] Speaker 1: Of alignment we need to pay to bring full delivery.
[2:02:40] Speaker 2: This is the real secret of the move of God.
[2:02:44] Speaker 1: Help us, oh God, to be major participants in this
[2:02:49] Speaker 1: wave of awakening and revival sweeping across this nation, Africa,
[2:02:54] Speaker 1: and even the globe. In the name of Jesus Christ.
[2:02:59] Speaker 1: Please keep your hands down. The starting point for the
[2:03:02] Speaker 1: move of God is acknowledging the Lordship of Jesus over
[2:03:06] Speaker 1: your life.
[2:03:07] Speaker 2: You've heard me teach. Please keep standing. I know we've
[2:03:09] Speaker 2: been standing. My apologies.
[2:03:11] Speaker 1: But I want to make a call now. No coercion.
[2:03:14] Speaker 1: You are here and you are saying, Apostle, hearing this
[2:03:17] Speaker 1: message tonight, I cannot truly say I am.
[2:03:20] Speaker 2: Part of this army.
[2:03:22] Speaker 1: Because only those who are in Christ, by new birth,
[2:03:26] Speaker 1: acknowledging Jesus Christ, can be part of that army. It
[2:03:30] Speaker 1: is true that you are part of this generation. But
[2:03:33] Speaker 1: that only happens in experience. If you willingly make Jesus
[2:03:37] Speaker 1: Lord of your life. I want to make an altar
[2:03:39] Speaker 1: call right now. Calling two people in one. Number one,
[2:03:43] Speaker 1: those who are saying, I truly need Jesus.
[2:03:46] Speaker 2: In a hurry and right now.
[2:03:49] Speaker 1: And then those who are saying, Apostle, I want to
[2:03:51] Speaker 1: rededicate my life to Christ.
[2:03:53] Speaker 2: I'm counting one to five.
[2:03:55] Speaker 1: Leave your seat, take your bags, your Bible, everything.
[2:03:58] Speaker 2: You came with.
[2:03:59] Speaker 1: And run to the front here. By the count of five,
[2:04:02] Speaker 1: you should be standing here. You are doing this for
[2:04:04] Speaker 1: the sake of Jesus. And for the sake of your destiny.
[2:04:08] Speaker 1: I begin my counting now. One.
[2:04:10] Speaker 2: Koinonia, let's celebrate them.
[2:04:18] Speaker 1: Two.
[2:04:21] Speaker 2: Are you happy for a new recruit in this army?
[2:04:26] Speaker 2: Mighty men and women.
[2:04:29] Speaker 1: Coming to declare the Lordship of Jesus over their lives.
[2:04:36] Speaker 2: Three. All the overflows.
[2:04:39] Speaker 1: Zaria.
[2:04:41] Speaker 2: UK. Canada.
[2:04:42] Speaker 1: US. Anywhere across the globe. Make sure you indicate. Your
[2:04:47] Speaker 1: desire to surrender everything to Jesus. Let him make beauty
[2:04:53] Speaker 1: and glory out of your life.
[2:04:59] Speaker 2: Hallelujah.
[2:05:03] Speaker 1: Now do you think I can ever fast enough? Ever
[2:05:06] Speaker 1: pray enough? Ever preach enough?
[2:05:09] Speaker 2: To make people leave their seats and come and stand here.
[2:05:13] Speaker 1: You are intelligent. Behind the frailty of my words. Behind
[2:05:19] Speaker 1: the limitations of my fasting. Behind the sincerity of my prayers.
[2:05:24] Speaker 2: Is the cross. This is what has brought these people here.
[2:05:28] Speaker 2: This is what Peter preached. Listen to me. I have
[2:05:33] Speaker 2: read Peter's sermon.
[2:05:35] Speaker 1: I will not preach that kind of sermon on a
[2:05:37] Speaker 1: crusade ground.
[2:05:39] Speaker 2: But Peter preached it.
[2:05:41] Speaker 1: And 3,000 people came.
[2:05:43] Speaker 2: Because he did not speak in the flesh.
[2:05:46] Speaker 1: Man of God, keep on with your diligence, but have
[2:05:49] Speaker 1: it that at the back of your mind, the real
[2:05:52] Speaker 1: secret is Jesus revealed and Jesus glorified. Those in front here,
[2:05:58] Speaker 1: I salute you in the name of Jesus, the son
[2:06:01] Speaker 1: of the living God. And I welcome every one of
[2:06:04] Speaker 1: you to this place. You are making the wisest decision
[2:06:08] Speaker 1: that any man can make. It doesn't matter what is
[2:06:11] Speaker 1: right or wrong in your life. When you come to him,
[2:06:15] Speaker 1: He will in no wise cast away. Please lift your
[2:06:17] Speaker 1: right hand with me.
[2:06:18] Speaker 2: As a sign of.
[2:06:19] Speaker 1: Surrender to this Jesus. And say after me as loud
[2:06:24] Speaker 1: and as clear as you can.
[2:06:25] Speaker 2: Say Lord Jesus. Tonight. I have heard your word. I believe.
[2:06:33] Speaker 1: That you are the son of God.
[2:06:36] Speaker 2: I believe. That you died for my sin. I believe.
[2:06:42] Speaker 1: That you rose again. For my justification.
[2:06:47] Speaker 2: Right now. I receive Jesus. Into my heart.
[2:06:52] Speaker 1: As my savior. As my lord. And as my king.
[2:06:58] Speaker 2: I declare. That the power. Of sin. Satan. Hell. And
[2:07:05] Speaker 2: the grave. Is broken over my life. From tonight. And forever.
[2:07:12] Speaker 1: I'm a child of God. Washed by the blood of
[2:07:15] Speaker 1: the lamb. I go forward ever. And backward never.
[2:07:20] Speaker 2: Amen.
[2:07:21] Speaker 1: Keep your lovely hands. Father we thank you. Please keep
[2:07:25] Speaker 1: lifting them as I pray for you. Your word declares
[2:07:28] Speaker 1: that as many who will come to you. You will
[2:07:30] Speaker 1: in no wise cast away. These precious ones have come.
[2:07:33] Speaker 1: Declaring your lordship over their lives.
[2:07:36] Speaker 2: And in the name of Jesus I pray.
[2:07:38] Speaker 1: That based on the authority of God's word. I declare
[2:07:41] Speaker 1: your sins forgiven. I call you bona fide recipients of
[2:07:46] Speaker 1: the life of God. I declare that you will go
[2:07:49] Speaker 1: from glory to glory and grace to grace. That everything
[2:07:55] Speaker 1: that is not of God, it must give way.
