[2:23] Speaker 1: visiting us. You are blessing us. You are lifting us.
[2:27] Speaker 1: Empowering us by your spirit. Lord, we pray that you
[2:31] Speaker 1: have your way unrestrained access this morning. Bless our hearts.
[2:37] Speaker 1: Lift our spirits. Let the sick be healed. Let the
[2:41] Speaker 1: oppressed be delivered. Let the downcast find hope. Let the
[2:48] Speaker 1: weary be refreshed in your presence. And we vow to
[2:51] Speaker 1: give you all the glory. For in Jesus' matchless name
[2:56] Speaker 1: we pray. Let's give Jesus a big hand clap. Hallelujah. Amen.
[3:08] Speaker 1: I welcome everyone, lovely people. Thank you so much for
[3:12] Speaker 1: the sacrifice to be here this morning. We have a
[3:16] Speaker 1: final session tonight. The Bible says they go from strength
[3:21] Speaker 1: to strength. Strength to strength. That means victory to victory.
[3:27] Speaker 1: That means grace to grace. That means power to power.
[3:32] Speaker 1: He says, as many who appear before the Lord in Zion. Hallelujah.
[3:38] Speaker 1: Before we sit, I'd like to remind you that we
[3:40] Speaker 1: are in the presence of God. The meaning of that
[3:43] Speaker 1: is that anything can happen. The meaning of that is
[3:47] Speaker 1: that your life should never be the same. Hallelujah. As humans,
[3:53] Speaker 1: there are certain individuals, if you ever find yourself in
[3:57] Speaker 1: their presence, even from a human standpoint, you know your
[4:00] Speaker 1: life will never be the same. For instance, the president
[4:03] Speaker 1: of a nation. For instance, some ambassador somewhere. And so
[4:07] Speaker 1: if men can have that kind of destiny-defining effect, how
[4:12] Speaker 1: much more the king of glory. Take a time. How
[4:17] Speaker 1: much more? Yes, the world Will bow down and say
[4:25] Speaker 1: you are king. Every man.
[4:31] Speaker 5: Will bow down and say you are king.
[4:40] Speaker 2: So let's start right now. Why would we wait?
[4:49] Speaker 3: You're the king of kings. Glory fill this place.
[4:59] Speaker 1: Just want to.
[5:00] Speaker 2: Be with you. Just want to be with you.
[5:06] Speaker 6: In the glory fill this place.
[5:18] Speaker 2: Just want to be with you.
[5:22] Speaker 3: Just wanna be with you.
[5:26] Speaker 1: May the lord bless our hearts this morning and do
[5:29] Speaker 1: us good in jesus name please be seated may god
[5:34] Speaker 1: bless you apostle tommy may god bless you thank you
[5:40] Speaker 1: thank you for your presence and reverend achilla thank you
[5:44] Speaker 1: so much an honor to have you around i bless
[5:47] Speaker 1: everyone um may the lord bless you in the name
[5:51] Speaker 1: of jesus christ We're going to be praying for a
[5:55] Speaker 1: few minutes before I get into the morning charge. Hallelujah.
[6:00] Speaker 1: I believe that this prophetic convergence was so designed by
[6:04] Speaker 1: the Spirit of God to lift us, to help us,
[6:08] Speaker 1: so that we ascend realms and dimensions for our profiting,
[6:14] Speaker 1: and that by the Spirit of God. Hallelujah. Two scriptures,
[6:20] Speaker 1: very quickly. Luke chapter 9 from verse 28 to 32.
[6:25] Speaker 1: I want us to pray. I want us to pray.
[6:29] Speaker 1: Luke chapter 9, 28 to 32. The Bible says, And
[6:36] Speaker 1: it came to pass, about an eight days after these things,
[6:41] Speaker 1: that he took Peter and John and James and went
[6:46] Speaker 1: up into the mountain to pray. And as he prayed,
[6:51] Speaker 1: the Bible says, the fashion of his countenance was altered,
[6:55] Speaker 1: and his raiment was white and glittery. And behold, they
[7:01] Speaker 1: talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias,
[7:05] Speaker 1: verse 31, who appeared in glory and spake of his decease,
[7:11] Speaker 1: which he should accomplish at Jerusalem. 32 is my verse
[7:14] Speaker 1: of emphasis. The Bible says, while all of those mighty
[7:18] Speaker 1: encounters were happening, Peter and they that were with him
[7:23] Speaker 1: were heavy with sleep. Mighty things were happening. Prophetic revelations
[7:31] Speaker 1: about Jesus' own destiny. And the Bible says they were
[7:34] Speaker 1: heavy with sleep. But a miracle happened and that's our
[7:37] Speaker 1: first prayer point this morning. And when they awake, they
[7:42] Speaker 1: saw his glory. Not while they were sleeping. The Bible
[7:47] Speaker 1: says when they awake, they saw his glory. You never
[7:52] Speaker 1: can see His glory in its fullness while you are asleep. Hallelujah.
[7:57] Speaker 1: Are we together now? The Bible says, Awake thou that sleepest,
[8:02] Speaker 1: and Christ will give you light. There are many people
[8:05] Speaker 1: who are asleep spiritually, asleep in terms of consciousness. The difference,
[8:11] Speaker 1: the man who is sleeping and the man who is
[8:14] Speaker 1: awake are both alive. The difference is their level of consciousness.
[8:19] Speaker 1: The man sleeping is not dead. Are we together now? Yes.
[8:23] Speaker 1: So the man who is asleep and the man who
[8:25] Speaker 1: is awake, they are both alive. But they do not
[8:28] Speaker 1: have the same experience. One has lost consciousness in the
[8:32] Speaker 1: place of sleep. While the other is fully aware and
[8:35] Speaker 1: has capacity to receive. Is someone ready to pray? Father,
[8:39] Speaker 1: every slumber. In the name of Jesus Christ. Every slumber.
[8:44] Speaker 1: I awake spiritually by your spirit. I awake spiritually by
[8:48] Speaker 1: your grace. I desire to behold your glory. Someone pray.
[8:54] Speaker 1: The Bible says. When they awake. They saw his glory.
[9:06] Speaker 1: When they were fully awake. They saw his glory. When
[9:15] Speaker 1: they awake, they saw his glory. When they awake, they
[9:26] Speaker 1: saw his glory. Hallelujah. Second prayer point. Second Corinthians chapter 3,
[9:35] Speaker 1: 17 and 18. There are times you can be awake,
[9:40] Speaker 1: but one of the side effects of waking up is
[9:43] Speaker 1: that you usually don't see well. You are drowsy, you
[9:46] Speaker 1: are weak, your visions are blurred, you see two things,
[9:49] Speaker 1: you're not even sure what direction they are. It's one
[9:52] Speaker 1: thing to be awake, but it's another thing to be
[9:54] Speaker 1: able to see. 2 Corinthians chapter 3, please, from verse 17.
[9:59] Speaker 1: Can you help us media? 2 Corinthians 3. From verse 17.
[10:05] Speaker 1: The Bible says. Now the Lord is that spirit. The
[10:09] Speaker 1: glory of the Lord. Are changed. Not into a different image.
[10:15] Speaker 1: Into the same image. From glory to glory. Listen. You
[10:20] Speaker 1: are not changed into the glory that is available. You
[10:23] Speaker 1: are changed into the glory that you behold. There are
[10:29] Speaker 1: endless possibilities in the spirit that are available for the believer.
[10:33] Speaker 1: But the dimension of God's glory you behold is the
[10:36] Speaker 1: dimension you are changed into. Are we together now? Yes.
[10:41] Speaker 1: And like you have heard me teach back home that
[10:44] Speaker 1: the word glory is the word kabod. It's also the
[10:46] Speaker 1: word doxa. It means glory. An examination of anything that
[10:52] Speaker 1: makes an individual, the features that make an individual desirable, valuable, expensive,
[10:58] Speaker 1: or worthy of your admiration. So when we talk about
[11:02] Speaker 1: the glory of God, it's a holistic capture of every
[11:05] Speaker 1: dimension of God. His grace, His wisdom, His power, His favor.
[11:10] Speaker 1: But the Bible says as we behold Him, we are
[11:13] Speaker 1: given the liberty to explore any dimension that is available.
[11:17] Speaker 1: But it is the path you behold that you become.
[11:22] Speaker 1: So it is possible that he can appear here in
[11:25] Speaker 1: his glory. And some people will only behold his wisdom.
[11:29] Speaker 1: Some people will only behold his power. Some people will
[11:33] Speaker 1: only behold his ability to restore. But there are many
[11:36] Speaker 1: who will say, Lord, I've seen you this way. But
[11:39] Speaker 1: what else is in you? I want to behold you
[11:42] Speaker 1: in a higher dimension. As we behold him as in
[11:46] Speaker 1: a mirror, we are changed. Not into the glory that
[11:51] Speaker 1: is available. The glory that you see. Are we together now?
[11:57] Speaker 1: He told Abraham, he says, lift up your eyes northwards
[12:00] Speaker 1: and southwards and eastwards and westwards. He says, everywhere your
[12:05] Speaker 1: eyes can see, that is the one I will give you.
[12:08] Speaker 1: Not the land available, the one your eyes can see.
[12:12] Speaker 1: And you may have heard me teach that sight is
[12:15] Speaker 1: a product of two factors. One, light. And number two,
[12:20] Speaker 1: an eye that can see. Just because your eye is
[12:24] Speaker 1: open does not mean you can see. If the light
[12:27] Speaker 1: here were shut, your eyes would still be functional but
[12:30] Speaker 1: you would not be able to see. You need light
[12:33] Speaker 1: and an eye that works well. Are we together now?
[12:39] Speaker 1: So the Bible says, as we behold, we are changed.
[12:43] Speaker 1: It then means that whilst the word is coming, the assignment,
[12:47] Speaker 1: you see, of the teaching priest is to guide your perceptions,
[12:51] Speaker 1: to help you like a driver leading you, driving that vehicle.
[12:56] Speaker 1: Something happens, the veil is torn, the scale falls from
[13:00] Speaker 1: your eyes, and you are able to see like you'll
[13:03] Speaker 1: be learning. The business of revelation is the business of sight.
[13:08] Speaker 1: Beyond sound. Habakkuk said, I will stand upon my watch.
[13:12] Speaker 1: So that I will see. Not just hear. I will see.
[13:17] Speaker 1: You are going to pray. Lord, grant me the gift
[13:21] Speaker 1: of perception. The gift of the seeing eyes. Go ahead
[13:25] Speaker 1: and pray. Go ahead and pray. The gift of sight.
[13:48] Speaker 1: Access to illumination in the spirit and by the spirit.
[14:11] Speaker 1: Amen and amen. God bless you. Please be seated.
[14:13] Speaker 2: Hallelujah.
[14:14] Speaker 1: Please bless Pastor Pete Rock. He walked in. It's good
[14:17] Speaker 1: to see you, Pastor. Thank you. Pastor Pete Rock said it. Hallelujah.
[14:23] Speaker 1: Are you ready? The assignment of Revelation is to bring
[14:29] Speaker 1: forth transitions. Revelations stop you from remaining at a certain
[14:36] Speaker 1: level and at a certain realm. Your transition in life
[14:40] Speaker 1: and in the spirit is at the mercy of revelation.
[14:45] Speaker 1: Revelations are like vehicles. They move you from prophecy to manifestation. Hallelujah.
[14:54] Speaker 1: That means if you are bankrupt of revelation, and I
[14:57] Speaker 1: want you to listen carefully, if you are bankrupt of light,
[15:00] Speaker 1: It will be impossible for you to move and to
[15:04] Speaker 1: transit realms in the spirit. It says, but the people
[15:08] Speaker 1: that sat in darkness have seen a great light. The
[15:13] Speaker 1: assignment of the teaching priest by the spirit of grace
[15:17] Speaker 1: is to unravel the mysteries of the kingdom. Please listen.
[15:24] Speaker 1: Paul was speaking in Ephesians. Ephesians chapter 3 verse 9.
[15:31] Speaker 1: That grace and apostleship was given to him. And that
[15:35] Speaker 1: the character of that mandate was that everywhere he went to.
[15:39] Speaker 1: He granted the people the ability to see. The ability
[15:45] Speaker 1: to see. Media can you help us? Ephesians 3 and
[15:49] Speaker 1: verse 9. We're reading 9 and then 10. It says
[15:55] Speaker 1: and to make all men see. How many men? There
[15:59] Speaker 1: is a grace that can make men see. It does
[16:03] Speaker 1: not just tell you what to look at. It can
[16:06] Speaker 1: do something, alter your perception, alter your understanding until you see.
[16:13] Speaker 1: This is beyond secular enlightenment. It's a grace. That when
[16:18] Speaker 1: you are under that grace, it can cause you to
[16:21] Speaker 1: comprehend what God is saying. To make all men see.
[16:27] Speaker 1: To make all men see. If God is saying he
[16:31] Speaker 1: intends to lift you, there is a grace that makes
[16:34] Speaker 1: you to see what it takes to align with that
[16:38] Speaker 1: prophetic word. And so my encouragement for you is, do
[16:43] Speaker 1: not see revelation just as an intelligent discussion from the Bible. No.
[16:49] Speaker 1: Imagine yourself entering a vehicle, a chariot, that is about
[16:53] Speaker 1: to transit you from your current version to another version.
[16:58] Speaker 1: A more superior one. A more glorious one. You know
[17:02] Speaker 1: how a snake, a reptile, molds? Leaving its former self behind.
[17:08] Speaker 1: The new self that comes is bigger, larger, greater, more agile.
[17:13] Speaker 1: That's what happens to you under the influence of the Spirit.
[17:16] Speaker 1: This is beyond a lecture, you see. A lecture just
[17:19] Speaker 1: stops at the realm of your mind and your thinking.
[17:22] Speaker 1: But there is a grace component to everything you are hearing.
[17:26] Speaker 1: It is that grace component that makes you become. Without
[17:30] Speaker 1: the grace component, you will stop at the realm where
[17:33] Speaker 1: the Bible says they are ever learning but never coming into.
[17:38] Speaker 1: You can learn but the experience of it It's not
[17:43] Speaker 1: just a product of intelligence. There is a transition in
[17:48] Speaker 1: the spirit. Hallelujah. And so I have a few thoughts
[17:54] Speaker 1: that I'll be sharing with us. And I'm trusting and
[17:57] Speaker 1: praying that God will open our eyes to see. In
[18:00] Speaker 1: Jesus name. Are you ready? Revelations chapter 4. I love
[18:08] Speaker 1: the word of God. My God. Revelations chapter 4. This
[18:11] Speaker 1: morning we'll be considering verse 1. Revelation chapter 4 and
[18:18] Speaker 1: verse 1. After this I looked and behold a door
[18:23] Speaker 1: was opened in heaven. And the first voice which I
[18:28] Speaker 1: heard was as it were the voice of a trumpet
[18:31] Speaker 1: talking with me. Which said, come up either and I
[18:35] Speaker 1: will show you the things that must be hereafter. Hallelujah.
[18:44] Speaker 1: I'd like us to read the first two words that
[18:46] Speaker 1: you can see. Ready? First two words. One, two, go.
[18:53] Speaker 1: First two words. One, two, go. One more time. My
[18:59] Speaker 1: question is after what? Because the Bible begins by saying.
[19:03] Speaker 1: After this. And if you are an intelligent person studying scripture.
[19:07] Speaker 1: You don't just begin to study the story. What happened?
[19:10] Speaker 1: He said after this. That means you need the understanding
[19:13] Speaker 1: of the this. For what he is about to say.
[19:16] Speaker 1: To make sense of you. He says after this. I looked.
[19:21] Speaker 1: Very profound revelation. After this. When you study the book
[19:26] Speaker 1: of revelations. It was at a time in church history.
[19:30] Speaker 1: Where John. John was banished into an island called Patmos
[19:35] Speaker 1: on account of his faith, as chapter 1 tells us,
[19:39] Speaker 1: and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. Are we together?
[19:41] Speaker 1: So whilst he was there, and by the way, I
[19:46] Speaker 1: should do this. it's my auntie in this place I
[19:50] Speaker 1: need to give her that honor is she here please
[19:59] Speaker 1: ah I love you auntie God bless you is she
[20:04] Speaker 1: alone are you alone who else came Ah, please. Can
[20:13] Speaker 1: they rise? Let's just give them one big God bless you.
[20:17] Speaker 1: Thank you. Thank you. Amen. I just remembered and I
[20:23] Speaker 1: thought to do that. We're House of Honor. Amen. So
[20:27] Speaker 1: it says after this, after chapter 1, after chapter 2,
[20:34] Speaker 1: After chapter 3 and after chapter 4. So the Bible
[20:37] Speaker 1: says that whilst he was in the Isle of Patmos.
[20:40] Speaker 1: Can you hear me? Are we still together? The Bible
[20:43] Speaker 1: says something happened to him. He said, I was in
[20:47] Speaker 1: the Spirit on the Lord's day. And the moment he
[20:52] Speaker 1: got in the Spirit, he began to have several encounters.
[20:58] Speaker 1: Mighty encounters. And he was instructed to write. Because those
[21:03] Speaker 1: words were faithful and true. Are we together now? Now,
[21:06] Speaker 1: did you know that the encounter in chapter 1 alone,
[21:10] Speaker 1: if all you have in your Christian experience is chapter
[21:13] Speaker 1: 1's encounter, that is enough to embolden and empower you.
[21:17] Speaker 1: Because the book starts with the revelation of Jesus himself.
[21:22] Speaker 1: So he sees... Seven lampstands. And he says. In the
[21:26] Speaker 1: midst of the lampstand. I saw one. Like the son
[21:30] Speaker 1: of man. And he begins to describe him. Profound description.
[21:35] Speaker 1: And out of that revelation came what we call the
[21:39] Speaker 1: letter to the seven churches. Beginning from Ephesus and he
[21:44] Speaker 1: ends with the seven churches being Laodicea. Are we together now?
[21:47] Speaker 1: The church in Laodicea. So he gave them profound commendations
[21:52] Speaker 1: and rebukes as it were. Now you would think... That John,
[21:56] Speaker 1: that was a heightened experience. None of the apostles had
[22:00] Speaker 1: the privilege of that kind of experience. Even though they
[22:03] Speaker 1: walked with Jesus in the flesh. No one was granted
[22:06] Speaker 1: that opportunity to see him in glory in that form
[22:10] Speaker 1: and that fashion. And to begin to document profound mysteries.
[22:15] Speaker 1: Warnings to the church that were in the then Asia Minor.
[22:20] Speaker 1: And then after such a spectacular encounter. Series of encounters.
[22:26] Speaker 1: The Bible now says after this. So there was something left.
[22:33] Speaker 1: Beyond seeing the lamb stand. There was something left. Beyond
[22:38] Speaker 1: seeing the son of man. There was something left. I
[22:43] Speaker 1: would think that if I saw Jesus. I saw the
[22:47] Speaker 1: glory of God and I received the commendations and warnings.
[22:51] Speaker 1: What else will be left? The Bible says, after this.
[22:56] Speaker 1: After this. After the mighty things that God has done
[23:01] Speaker 1: and is doing through your life. After the expansion in ministry.
[23:07] Speaker 1: It says, after this, I still looked. It takes stamina
[23:11] Speaker 1: to look when there are good things behind you. Are
[23:15] Speaker 1: we together now? It is easier for someone who has
[23:18] Speaker 1: failed or is a nobody to look. That should be
[23:21] Speaker 1: the obvious thing. But not after great strides like this.
[23:26] Speaker 1: John was in the middle of a phenomenal time in
[23:30] Speaker 1: his life as an apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ.
[23:33] Speaker 1: And the Bible says, after these spectacular experiences, he said,
[23:38] Speaker 1: I still looked. I hope you know, his invitation only
[23:44] Speaker 1: came because he looked. So it was as though God
[23:50] Speaker 1: was waiting to see if the experiences he had had
[23:53] Speaker 1: so far would cause him to plateau, would cause him
[23:56] Speaker 1: to be contented, would cause him to not want to
[24:00] Speaker 1: press for more. He says, when I looked and I beheld,
[24:04] Speaker 1: there was a voice already waiting and said, since you
[24:06] Speaker 1: have now looked, come. Are we together? It takes focus.
[24:14] Speaker 1: It takes hunger. It takes meekness to still look After this,
[24:22] Speaker 1: after you are called a man of God already, accredited
[24:25] Speaker 1: by science and wonders, after you are called a businessman already,
[24:30] Speaker 1: multi-millionaire businessman with your evidences, after you are called a
[24:35] Speaker 1: successful career person, you see, let me tell you, the
[24:39] Speaker 1: passion to become when you are not is almost natural.
[24:44] Speaker 1: Because the awareness of your failure and limitations are enough
[24:48] Speaker 1: motivation to want to get out of that place. But
[24:51] Speaker 1: by the time you have achieved a certain level of results,
[24:56] Speaker 1: the passion to continue dies. This is the deception of success.
[25:02] Speaker 1: We are not talking here about a man who is
[25:04] Speaker 1: an unbeliever, who just became a believer. First that he
[25:08] Speaker 1: was an apostle, then called John the Beloved. A name
[25:12] Speaker 1: that was not used for any other apostle, including Paul.
[25:16] Speaker 1: John the Beloved. Are we together now? Yes. Jesus was
[25:22] Speaker 1: so endeared to him, he was one of the disciples
[25:25] Speaker 1: that finished strong. All other disciples ran away, they never
[25:29] Speaker 1: made it to the cross. John was the one person
[25:32] Speaker 1: who saw the crucified Christ, even before he died. You
[25:37] Speaker 1: would think with all those kinds of ministerial credentials, what
[25:41] Speaker 1: else would John be looking for? Then the Bible says,
[25:44] Speaker 1: after this, after healing all the sick, after raising people
[25:50] Speaker 1: from the wheelchairs, after having such a name, what is
[25:54] Speaker 1: there to seek God for? The Bible says, after this,
[25:58] Speaker 1: I looked. After this, I looked. When the Spirit of
[26:05] Speaker 1: God opened my eyes to see this, this message was
[26:07] Speaker 1: first for me, even before preparing it for you. This
[26:11] Speaker 1: is not a message for weak people. This is a
[26:14] Speaker 1: message for those who God has honored to a measure.
[26:16] Speaker 1: Those who have tasted of great things already. That's what
[26:19] Speaker 1: is a believer's meeting. After this, if you are not
[26:24] Speaker 1: a champion, the message is not for you. It's a
[26:26] Speaker 1: message for those who have triumphed to a measure. It
[26:29] Speaker 1: is a secret for continuity. After this, I looked. Hmm.
[26:40] Speaker 1: I looked and behold. Do you know the kind of
[26:45] Speaker 1: focus it takes to look? Because when you have already
[26:48] Speaker 1: arrived and attained a measure of results, usually there will
[26:52] Speaker 1: be uploads loud enough to distract you from going forward.
[26:56] Speaker 1: That's why I said it takes hunger, it takes focus,
[27:00] Speaker 1: it takes meekness to still look. What about the uploads
[27:04] Speaker 1: of yesterday? You want me to ignore that? How about
[27:08] Speaker 1: the obvious results. That follow my life like a shadow.
[27:12] Speaker 1: He says after this. This is a prophetic message for someone.
[27:16] Speaker 1: After your first prophecy. Let's see what happens. After the
[27:20] Speaker 1: first church was built. After the first million. After the
[27:25] Speaker 1: first billion. He says after this. Is a clarion call
[27:31] Speaker 1: for champions. Men who have done much for the kingdom.
[27:35] Speaker 1: And yet God is saying. There is still another dimension.
[27:38] Speaker 1: But he says after this. So this morning we are
[27:41] Speaker 1: discussing this. After this has kept many people down. They
[27:45] Speaker 1: stopped looking. They started looking to even get to that point.
[27:51] Speaker 1: But they now made their past and their present become
[27:54] Speaker 1: their future. There was nothing new again in their experience.
[27:57] Speaker 1: So the Bible says after this. I have seen the
[28:02] Speaker 1: fruits of prayer. I have seen the excellence that comes
[28:07] Speaker 1: with obeying God, but after this. Is someone learning now?
[28:13] Speaker 1: He says, after this... I, as an act of my will,
[28:18] Speaker 1: conscious of the fact that a man can never plateau
[28:21] Speaker 1: in God. If you are interested, there are always higher
[28:24] Speaker 1: realms and dimensions. He says, after this, I looked. The
[28:28] Speaker 1: question is, he never said, I looked towards. Because in looking,
[28:34] Speaker 1: you first have to look away from before you look towards.
[28:39] Speaker 1: Are we together? At every given point in time, your
[28:43] Speaker 1: eye is focused on something. So if I have to
[28:45] Speaker 1: look at you, my first assignment is to look away
[28:48] Speaker 1: from here. Then I now look at what is now
[28:51] Speaker 1: my current gaze. Moses was looking, but not at the
[28:56] Speaker 1: burning bush. Help those under the anointing. Are we together now?
[29:00] Speaker 1: So Moses, listen to me. When God wanted to get
[29:04] Speaker 1: his attention for a new experience, I hope you know
[29:08] Speaker 1: that even though he was called to be a deliverer
[29:12] Speaker 1: and a prophet, when he ran away from Egypt, watch
[29:16] Speaker 1: this now, something remarkable happened to him. For 40 years,
[29:22] Speaker 1: he was now a successful shepherd. He was not a failure.
[29:27] Speaker 1: With respect to that shepherd, this guy was a businessman.
[29:32] Speaker 1: He was doing well. Yet he was even about to start.
[29:36] Speaker 1: With respect to destiny, he had not started. It's amazing.
[29:39] Speaker 1: the things we keep celebrating, yet in heaven, the first
[29:42] Speaker 1: page has not even opened. So, if you had seen
[29:52] Speaker 1: Moses 40 years after leaving Egypt, heaven is still saying,
[29:56] Speaker 1: when will you start? Deliverer. You are still a shepherd.
[30:01] Speaker 1: But he's saying I'm a successful shepherd. I'm a successful shepherd.
[30:06] Speaker 1: I mean I have my evidences. My sheep is there.
[30:09] Speaker 1: My ability to lead sheep is there. And one day.
[30:13] Speaker 1: Watch this. When God wanted him to rise to a
[30:16] Speaker 1: new level. The Bible says there was a bush. That
[30:22] Speaker 1: bush began to burn. The first thing God had to
[30:25] Speaker 1: get was his sight. I want to explain to you
[30:28] Speaker 1: what happened to John. After this, my eyes and my
[30:31] Speaker 1: attention were somewhere focused on my success and my results
[30:35] Speaker 1: of yesterday. And for as long as I kept looking
[30:38] Speaker 1: at it, God was saying there is more. I know
[30:41] Speaker 1: that you are an intercessor, but there is a prophetic dimension.
[30:46] Speaker 1: I know you are doing well as a pastor, but
[30:49] Speaker 1: that ministry will not just end pastoral. There is an
[30:53] Speaker 1: apostolic dimension. After this, I looked. Everything God gives you
[31:06] Speaker 1: is not all he intends to give. God is always progressive.
[31:14] Speaker 1: After this. So Moses is tending the sheep of Jethro.
[31:22] Speaker 1: And the Bible says when it was time for God
[31:24] Speaker 1: to get his attention, he created a scenario that was
[31:29] Speaker 1: greater than what he had seen. And then Moses said,
[31:35] Speaker 1: that that scenario kept distracting him for a while he
[31:39] Speaker 1: was still looking at yesterday and today still trying to
[31:42] Speaker 1: go into the future but he didn't want to live
[31:45] Speaker 1: yesterday but one point the bible says and moses turned
[31:49] Speaker 1: aside and when god saw that he had turned aside
[31:54] Speaker 1: the voice just like in revelation came again and he
[31:57] Speaker 1: says moses now we can talk i've gotten your attention
[32:00] Speaker 1: It seems to me like God does not talk to
[32:02] Speaker 1: men till he finds out that their attention is focused
[32:06] Speaker 1: on him. He will desire to speak, but he's patient
[32:10] Speaker 1: enough to allow you until your current level stops distracting
[32:15] Speaker 1: you and you can look beyond the success of today.
[32:19] Speaker 1: After this, I looked. Moses was a great shepherd, but
[32:25] Speaker 1: that prophetic dimension was not yet there. And the Bible says,
[32:28] Speaker 1: when he saw the bush, we don't know how long
[32:31] Speaker 1: that bush was burning. But this morning, there is a
[32:34] Speaker 1: bush that is burning. And God is telling you, in
[32:37] Speaker 1: as much as there are great things I've done with you,
[32:40] Speaker 1: the page is not even opened. I know you have
[32:46] Speaker 1: seen Jesus. I know you have received messages to the
[32:50] Speaker 1: seven churches. But this is only the beginning. After this,
[32:55] Speaker 1: I looked. I know you have tasted of the power
[33:04] Speaker 1: of God. You have seen the anointing of the Spirit.
[33:07] Speaker 1: I know that you have seen success in life, in business,
[33:10] Speaker 1: in career, perhaps in ministry. But the first message tonight
[33:15] Speaker 1: is do you have the hunger enough? Do you have
[33:18] Speaker 1: the courage enough? Do you have the discernment enough to
[33:23] Speaker 1: love your tomorrow more than your today? Can you look
[33:26] Speaker 1: away from great things? Can you look away from the
[33:30] Speaker 1: uploads and the successes and focus on what God intends
[33:34] Speaker 1: to do now? After this, I looked. You've been at
[33:39] Speaker 1: the United Kingdom for years. And in all fairness to you,
[33:43] Speaker 1: God has been faithful. Good house, good children, great news.
[33:47] Speaker 1: This message is for you. After this, can you look?
[33:51] Speaker 1: Can you still look that there is a purpose beyond
[33:54] Speaker 1: having a house and having an MSc or a PhD?
[33:58] Speaker 1: What did God tell you before he sent you? It
[34:01] Speaker 1: was not an academic issue. Academic was just a vehicle.
[34:05] Speaker 1: Now you are done, you are successful, you are working.
[34:07] Speaker 1: But after this, he says, I looked. Please give me
[34:22] Speaker 1: a voice. Hallelujah. In Philippians chapter 3 from verse 13
[34:30] Speaker 1: and 14. Help me again, media. Philippians 3, let's work together.
[34:33] Speaker 1: 13 and 14. Philippians chapter 3, 13 and 14. Paul
[34:40] Speaker 1: made a very profound statement that I want us to
[34:42] Speaker 1: pay attention to. Let me show you a man who
[34:45] Speaker 1: has mastered the art of defeating the successes of the
[34:49] Speaker 1: current level and striving for higher realms. He says, brethren,
[34:55] Speaker 1: I count myself to not have apprehended but this one
[35:00] Speaker 1: thing I do. Forgetting the things that are behind. He
[35:06] Speaker 1: never said forgetting the failures. No, no. failures are not
[35:11] Speaker 1: the only thing you are supposed to forget there are
[35:14] Speaker 1: many good things that can keep you in your yesterday
[35:16] Speaker 1: and you may never experience the other sides of god
[35:20] Speaker 1: it says forgetting those things which are behind and reaching
[35:24] Speaker 1: forth to the things which are before verse 14 i
[35:27] Speaker 1: like the first two words it says i press it's
[35:31] Speaker 1: an act of my will i press motivated or otherwise
[35:36] Speaker 1: i press it says i press towards the mark No,
[35:41] Speaker 1: this cannot be the greatest of the prophetic. This cannot
[35:44] Speaker 1: be the greatest of the apostolic. Thank God for yesterday.
[35:47] Speaker 1: This cannot be the greatest of koinonia. This cannot be
[35:50] Speaker 1: the greatest of my finances, my business. I press. Brethren,
[35:56] Speaker 1: I count myself. You may count me a great man
[36:00] Speaker 1: of God. You may count me a great businessman. But
[36:03] Speaker 1: I count myself. It's not condemnation. It's the passion to continue.
[36:08] Speaker 1: The passion to remain. Grateful for what you count me as.
[36:13] Speaker 1: But I count myself to not have apprehended. But this
[36:17] Speaker 1: one thing. I may not know how to do other things.
[36:20] Speaker 1: But there is one thing I've mastered. The art of
[36:23] Speaker 1: defeating my successes of yesterday. Failure can kill as much
[36:27] Speaker 1: as success. Failure can limit as much as success. This
[36:33] Speaker 1: one thing I do. Forgetting the things that are behind.
[36:41] Speaker 1: This one thing I do. Forgetting the things that are behind.
[36:47] Speaker 1: I want to show you what kills champions. I want
[36:50] Speaker 1: to show you why people do not remain. I want
[36:53] Speaker 1: to show you why people are warriors and giants and
[36:56] Speaker 1: champions today. And they fall like a pack of cards.
[36:59] Speaker 1: They have not mastered this thing Paul mastered. I do
[37:02] Speaker 1: not count myself to have apprehended. But this one thing
[37:06] Speaker 1: I do. I press. I press. I press. I press.
[37:12] Speaker 1: I press towards. Successful yesterday. But I still press. Successful today.
[37:19] Speaker 1: But I still press. Please sit down. Please sit down.
[37:29] Speaker 1: We are still discussing verse 1. Come up either. So
[37:36] Speaker 1: the Bible tells us. Do you know, every major version, Amplified,
[37:42] Speaker 1: New International Version, New King James, they did not change
[37:48] Speaker 1: this statement. All of them start by saying, after this.
[37:53] Speaker 1: Regardless the translations, the Spirit of God saw the need
[37:56] Speaker 1: to preserve those two words. When I began to study this,
[38:01] Speaker 1: I stayed in these two words for more than one week.
[38:04] Speaker 1: After this. The more successful you are. The longer you
[38:10] Speaker 1: will stay on that scripture. Because your these are many.
[38:13] Speaker 1: They represent crowns. They represent accomplishments. They represent achievements. After this.
[38:21] Speaker 1: That means. The preceding expressions will not profit you. Till
[38:26] Speaker 1: you meditate on this after this. More love. More power.
[38:38] Speaker 1: more of you in my life. Listen, there is a
[38:45] Speaker 1: reason why many people never do so much with God.
[38:50] Speaker 1: There is a reason why many people rise to a level,
[38:54] Speaker 1: whether in ministry or in business or in career, and
[38:58] Speaker 1: then they plateau. Only to speak about the miracles and
[39:04] Speaker 1: the mighty things of yesterday I want to hand to
[39:08] Speaker 1: you this morning a secret. A powerful secret. Are we
[39:15] Speaker 1: together now? It takes focus. It takes hunger. It takes
[39:22] Speaker 1: passion to still be doing well. To still be making progress.
[39:27] Speaker 1: To still be receiving the applause. And the louder the
[39:31] Speaker 1: applause comes, the more you do not let it distract you.
[39:35] Speaker 1: He says, after this, I looked. Some of you were
[39:40] Speaker 1: looking well. Your gaze was intact until men began to clap.
[39:45] Speaker 1: Their applause became louder than his voice. It so distracted you.
[39:49] Speaker 1: Right now you do not even know your true north.
[39:51] Speaker 1: Where that bearing is again. After this. After the 1
[39:56] Speaker 1: million came. After I moved to UK. For some I
[40:01] Speaker 1: stopped looking. I looked before getting the visa. Because that
[40:06] Speaker 1: it made me fast. It made me pray. I mean
[40:09] Speaker 1: I had something driving me. But after this. I looked.
[40:20] Speaker 1: The Bible tells us that the door was opened and
[40:24] Speaker 1: the voice came. It did not come just as a gift.
[40:30] Speaker 1: It came as a reward because God was watching. Chapter 1,
[40:35] Speaker 1: watch it. Chapter 2, watch it. Chapter 3, watch it.
[40:42] Speaker 1: You mean in spite of the fact that you have
[40:44] Speaker 1: been given the privilege to document this, your focus is
[40:48] Speaker 1: not distracted. In spite of the fact that even if
[40:52] Speaker 1: we were to stop here, you would still be a
[40:54] Speaker 1: champion as an apostle. He says, after this, I looked.
[40:59] Speaker 1: And because he looked and beheld, a door was opened
[41:04] Speaker 1: in heaven. Where was he before? So even in heaven,
[41:08] Speaker 1: there is still room for more. You would think because
[41:12] Speaker 1: he was already there, that meant all he saw was
[41:15] Speaker 1: all there was to be seen. He says, I looked
[41:19] Speaker 1: and the first voice which I heard was as a
[41:22] Speaker 1: voice of the trumpet talking with me. And he said this,
[41:26] Speaker 1: in honor to my passion, in honor to my hunger,
[41:31] Speaker 1: in honor to my press. He says, I see a
[41:35] Speaker 1: desire in you to last. I see a desire in
[41:39] Speaker 1: you to remain. I have studied the way you do ministry.
[41:42] Speaker 1: And I see that you intend to remain. Even after
[41:44] Speaker 1: 30 years. You intend to remain in business. You intend
[41:48] Speaker 1: to be a leader in your field. Therefore, come up here.
[41:52] Speaker 1: It's a call. Come up here. There are things I
[41:55] Speaker 1: will show you. But the requirement is that I must
[41:59] Speaker 1: probe your hunger. I must probe your thirst. I must
[42:02] Speaker 1: probe your passion. Can I tell you? God is glorious.
[42:06] Speaker 1: God is loving. But he is not foolish. He draws
[42:10] Speaker 1: men according to his perception of their hunger, their passion
[42:15] Speaker 1: for him. You would think just because he loved you
[42:17] Speaker 1: and died for you, he will give you everything, grant
[42:20] Speaker 1: you access to any realm. No, not everything in the
[42:23] Speaker 1: kingdom is a gift. There are dimensions that are rewards.
[42:27] Speaker 1: And for you to qualify there, God studies hunger. Hunger
[42:34] Speaker 1: is a powerful component In the believers work Hunger is
[42:38] Speaker 1: proof of health When people become sick The first thing
[42:42] Speaker 1: they lose is appetite Medical practitioners are here And they
[42:48] Speaker 1: use appetite The lack of it sometimes to confirm That
[42:52] Speaker 1: this man is sick truly Because all men who are
[42:55] Speaker 1: well Should be hungry And should be thirsty Hallelujah Are
[43:02] Speaker 1: we together? So come up hither is a journey into
[43:10] Speaker 1: higher realms of authority and power. Come up hither is
[43:15] Speaker 1: not just a statement. It's an initiation. God is calling
[43:19] Speaker 1: you to tell you there are higher realms of power.
[43:24] Speaker 1: There are higher realms of authority. And that he wants
[43:27] Speaker 1: to bring you into. But you have to see there
[43:30] Speaker 1: must be that desire. My God, Moses never knew that
[43:33] Speaker 1: the rod he was holding could become the rod of
[43:36] Speaker 1: God one day. That that rod could part the Red Sea.
[43:39] Speaker 1: Had he tried it at that point, that version of
[43:41] Speaker 1: him could not perform that miracle. Only God knows what
[43:44] Speaker 1: else your hands can do. Only God knows what else
[43:47] Speaker 1: your mind can do. Only God knows what else your
[43:50] Speaker 1: organization can do. But that version of you, that version
[43:54] Speaker 1: of consciousness and understanding cannot go that far. So he said,
[43:59] Speaker 1: come up hither. Come up hither. Come up hither. Why
[44:06] Speaker 1: is he asking you to come up hither? Because there
[44:09] Speaker 1: are things that need to be altered as far as
[44:12] Speaker 1: your perception is concerned. Come up hither is a journey
[44:17] Speaker 1: into higher realms of revelation. It's altering your sight. It's
[44:21] Speaker 1: the business of sight. Come up hither and I will
[44:25] Speaker 1: show you. Not I will tell you. There are things
[44:28] Speaker 1: you need to see. You can doubt what you hear,
[44:31] Speaker 1: but you cannot doubt what you see. There are times
[44:33] Speaker 1: you pick a call and maybe because of some network challenge,
[44:37] Speaker 1: you need to verify who is speaking. And the person
[44:40] Speaker 1: almost gets angry and say, you've forgotten my voice, but
[44:42] Speaker 1: not when you are seeing it. You cannot look at
[44:45] Speaker 1: someone and say, are you the one? You see that now.
[44:48] Speaker 1: Sight is more powerful than sound. Because it creates greater conviction.
[44:55] Speaker 1: Come up hither and I will show you. It's God
[44:58] Speaker 1: speaking to someone. So it is a journey to higher
[45:01] Speaker 1: levels of authority and power. And that happens by higher
[45:05] Speaker 1: levels of illumination and revelation. Let me tell you the truth.
[45:11] Speaker 1: The whole journey of come up hither. Is a business
[45:15] Speaker 1: of consciousness. And revelation. Come up here. Is because God
[45:21] Speaker 1: wants to do something. To your consciousness. Your understanding. The
[45:25] Speaker 1: revelation of the spirit at work in your life. Because
[45:28] Speaker 1: you see. Authority in this kingdom. Is a measure of
[45:32] Speaker 1: the light that you have. And that you have received.
[45:36] Speaker 1: I don't want to go ahead of myself. But when
[45:38] Speaker 1: you go to chapter 5, the worship of the lamb
[45:42] Speaker 1: by the 24 elders, the Bible says, I wept for
[45:46] Speaker 1: no man was worthy to open the book and unlock
[45:49] Speaker 1: the scroll. Is that right? Then the Bible says, the
[45:52] Speaker 1: elder tapped me and he said, weep not for the
[45:55] Speaker 1: lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David,
[45:58] Speaker 1: is worthy to open the book. He now said, I saw,
[46:03] Speaker 1: I looked on the throne and I saw a lamb
[46:07] Speaker 1: as though had been slain, having seven eyes and seven horns.
[46:14] Speaker 1: Take note of that statement. Seven eyes and seven horns.
[46:19] Speaker 1: The eye represents light and revelation. The horns represent authority.
[46:25] Speaker 1: So for every dimension of authority, there is a light
[46:28] Speaker 1: component that connects to it. Seven eyes and seven horns.
[46:33] Speaker 1: Seven eyes and seven horns. You don't step into that
[46:37] Speaker 1: zone of authority until you have the light component. I
[46:40] Speaker 1: have seen this in my visions many times. And so
[46:43] Speaker 1: I know, not just by scripture, it has become my experience.
[46:47] Speaker 1: You are empowered by light. You cannot demonstrate authority beyond
[46:52] Speaker 1: your level of light. Your authority is at the mercy
[46:57] Speaker 1: of your spiritual understanding. When God wants to expand... Your
[47:02] Speaker 1: reach in terms of exercising authority. What happens is that
[47:06] Speaker 1: he opens your consciousness. By revelation. To higher truths. Deeper dimensions.
[47:13] Speaker 1: And this is what God has called us to experience.
[47:15] Speaker 1: Even this morning. Is someone changing? So the whole journey.
[47:24] Speaker 1: Of come up here. Is a journey of revelation. An alter.
[47:29] Speaker 1: An alteration to your consciousness. Revelations 4 verse 1. It says,
[47:34] Speaker 1: come up hither and I will show you. Revelations chapter
[47:40] Speaker 1: 5 verse 1. I want to show you a few scriptures.
[47:42] Speaker 1: 5 verse 1 media. Let's walk together. We'll look at
[47:45] Speaker 1: verse 1 and then verse 6. It says, and I saw.
[47:49] Speaker 1: Somebody say, and I saw. Are you seeing that? It's
[47:52] Speaker 1: a whole business of sight. See. Go to verse 6 please.
[47:56] Speaker 1: Revelations 5 and verse 6. And I beheld and lo,
[48:02] Speaker 1: in the midst of this, I saw. I beheld, I saw.
[48:06] Speaker 1: I beheld, I saw. I beheld, I saw. In fact,
[48:09] Speaker 1: let me give you one more scripture. Revelations chapter 6.
[48:15] Speaker 1: Let's look at verse 1, verse 3, and verse 5.
[48:18] Speaker 1: All of them will say, come and see. Come. If
[48:23] Speaker 1: you come of either, it is so that you can see.
[48:27] Speaker 1: One of the four elders said, verse 1, come and see.
[48:31] Speaker 1: Verse 3, come and see. Verse 5, come and see.
[48:39] Speaker 1: So when he calls you, it's not just come and watch.
[48:44] Speaker 1: It's not just come and roam around. He's calling you
[48:47] Speaker 1: so that you can come and see. Call unto me
[48:51] Speaker 1: and he says, I will answer. Is that in your Bible?
[48:54] Speaker 1: I will show you great and mighty things which thou
[48:58] Speaker 1: knowest not. So the way to knowledge is to show you.
[49:02] Speaker 1: When you see it, you can have that knowledge. Come
[49:05] Speaker 1: unto me and I will answer. I will show you.
[49:09] Speaker 1: My cure to your ignorance is your sight. Show you
[49:13] Speaker 1: great and mighty things which thou knowest not. Your knowledge
[49:17] Speaker 1: is at the mercy of what you see. When god
[49:20] Speaker 1: wants to correct a man's ignorance and take away spiritual
[49:24] Speaker 1: limitation from your life he gives you a higher perception
[49:27] Speaker 1: of spiritual things let me tell you the truth there
[49:30] Speaker 1: is something god can show you about finances That will
[49:33] Speaker 1: make it look like you are holding a charm. You
[49:36] Speaker 1: will conquer finances in this realm. In a way that
[49:39] Speaker 1: surprises you. There is something God can show you about
[49:42] Speaker 1: the healing ministry. And you will command tremendous power. It's
[49:47] Speaker 1: not just an impartation. It's a product of light. Most
[49:53] Speaker 1: times we just seek impartations. You see. Impartation is like
[49:58] Speaker 1: fuel in a car. The fuel does not drive the car.
[50:02] Speaker 1: Are we together now? You still need a driver. Revelation
[50:05] Speaker 1: is that driver. The driver without the foil will not
[50:09] Speaker 1: be able to move. But you just carry gas, a
[50:12] Speaker 1: jerry can say of gas, and just put it in
[50:15] Speaker 1: the car. You're not going anywhere without a good driver.
[50:19] Speaker 1: It doesn't matter even if it's a new car. Revelation
[50:22] Speaker 1: is that driver. It creates transitions. The value of the
[50:26] Speaker 1: anointing is that it comes upon an individual who is
[50:29] Speaker 1: transformed by light. You see the potential of impartation when
[50:34] Speaker 1: transformation by light has happened. Are we together now? When
[50:39] Speaker 1: the vessel is small, it makes the oil small. You
[50:43] Speaker 1: will blame the oil, but the oil has potential to
[50:47] Speaker 1: assume the shape of any vessel given to it. The
[50:50] Speaker 1: prophet said the problem is that the vessel is small.
[50:54] Speaker 1: He says go and borrow vessels. Borrow not a few. Hallelujah.
[51:02] Speaker 1: When I began my walk with the Lord, the Lord
[51:05] Speaker 1: insisted upon my life. That I focus on revelation. You
[51:10] Speaker 1: will be surprised that those who really work in power
[51:14] Speaker 1: do not focus so much about power. Because power is
[51:18] Speaker 1: the end product of something. It's an equation. Something plus
[51:23] Speaker 1: something plus something equals power. Are we together now? There
[51:29] Speaker 1: is a light component you must have. Look at me.
[51:33] Speaker 1: Every area of darkness in your life today, I'm telling you,
[51:37] Speaker 1: not just by prophecy, is at the mercy of higher
[51:40] Speaker 1: levels of revelation. And you may have held certain truth.
[51:45] Speaker 1: Do you know, sometimes I laugh at myself because I'm
[51:48] Speaker 1: one person who has seen the power of God in
[51:51] Speaker 1: my life in a very humbling way. But I look
[51:53] Speaker 1: at my former self now, and sometimes I'm tempted to laugh.
[51:57] Speaker 1: Amazing how many things I did not know about the anointing.
[52:01] Speaker 1: If you saw me then, you would think that, because
[52:04] Speaker 1: of what you were seeing i knew everything about the
[52:06] Speaker 1: anointing i'm looking at my former self now even as
[52:09] Speaker 1: i'm talking and i'm laughing at my former self my
[52:11] Speaker 1: god look the gap in knowledge are we learning it
[52:21] Speaker 1: is amazing how many things we do not know enough
[52:24] Speaker 1: of and you see When it has to do with
[52:27] Speaker 1: results in the kingdom. You are not at liberty to
[52:30] Speaker 1: choose the level of knowledge you want. There is a
[52:32] Speaker 1: requisite level of knowledge. Enough to command certain results. I
[52:39] Speaker 1: think it's 1 Corinthians 8 and verse 2. Please give
[52:41] Speaker 1: it to us. Let's try it. Is God helping someone?
[52:44] Speaker 1: 1 Corinthians chapter 8 and verse 2. Let's read it
[52:49] Speaker 1: together if you see it projected. I want you to
[52:51] Speaker 1: read it as loud and as clear as you can. Ready? One, two, read.
[53:03] Speaker 1: One more time please. And if any man think that
[53:06] Speaker 1: he knoweth anything, he says he knoweth nothing yet as
[53:11] Speaker 1: he ought to. As he ought to. I think I've
[53:16] Speaker 1: given this illustration here where you find a student who's
[53:21] Speaker 1: course F. Students who have the grade F. F does
[53:26] Speaker 1: not necessarily mean zero. Zero. F means anything less than 40.
[53:32] Speaker 1: Am I right on that? So the student who did
[53:34] Speaker 1: not sit for the examination, the one who got 10%, 20%,
[53:39] Speaker 1: even 39%, they all failed. And yet, the one who
[53:44] Speaker 1: scored 39% performed better than the one who scored 10%.
[53:48] Speaker 1: But they still failed. This is the deception of limited knowledge.
[53:54] Speaker 1: You will look and compare yourself and say at least
[53:57] Speaker 1: I know better than this. But based on that grade level,
[54:00] Speaker 1: you are all at the same experience. So if you
[54:03] Speaker 1: say all those who scored above 30%, someone will stand
[54:09] Speaker 1: proudly and say at least sorry for you who scored 1, 2,
[54:14] Speaker 1: or you who did not sit for the exam. But
[54:16] Speaker 1: when we say those who scored F, all of you
[54:19] Speaker 1: stand up to be surprised. They will all be in
[54:21] Speaker 1: the same group. It is amazing how many things we
[54:24] Speaker 1: brag about, but the realm of the Spirit groups us
[54:26] Speaker 1: in one place. See that? I've been in ministry for 10,
[54:32] Speaker 1: 15 years, and the realm of the Spirit says, that's good.
[54:34] Speaker 1: But here is the realm of those who do not
[54:36] Speaker 1: know enough. This is where they stay. So the experience
[54:40] Speaker 1: of the one who does not know God and the
[54:42] Speaker 1: one who is so limited, he becomes the same. Because
[54:45] Speaker 1: an heir for as long as he is a child,
[54:47] Speaker 1: he differeth not, no distinguishing factor from a slave, even
[54:52] Speaker 1: though he be Lord of all. It is amazing how
[54:56] Speaker 1: many things, ladies and gentlemen, God wants to bring us into.
[55:00] Speaker 1: But because of limited spiritual knowledge, what do you not
[55:04] Speaker 1: know yet about Satan? What do you not know yet
[55:07] Speaker 1: about God's power? What do you not know yet about favor?
[55:10] Speaker 1: Did you know that once upon a time in my life,
[55:12] Speaker 1: I would only talk about favor like a discussion somewhere?
[55:16] Speaker 1: But I saw people who embodied this thing. And I said, no,
[55:20] Speaker 1: the Lord, the same Lord is rich unto all. You see,
[55:23] Speaker 1: I had to take responsibility to say there is something
[55:26] Speaker 1: I have not seen. I tell you the truth. Everything
[55:29] Speaker 1: that works for anyone can work for you. But not
[55:32] Speaker 1: under every condition. There is a light requirement. Come up, Gida.
[55:48] Speaker 1: Rise from your current level. Spiritually. man of god rise
[55:54] Speaker 1: woman of god rise are we together yes oh apostle
[56:02] Speaker 1: but i'm a great prophet to what accuracy two over
[56:05] Speaker 1: ten are we together now you're a wonderful lady you
[56:10] Speaker 1: prophesied to ten people eight were wrong congratulations for the
[56:13] Speaker 1: two you got right but that is not you will
[56:16] Speaker 1: not take the nations that way not with that margin
[56:18] Speaker 1: of error there is need to rise Oh, I'm working
[56:22] Speaker 1: in the healing anointing. What are the testimonies? Honestly. Not
[56:26] Speaker 1: stage money. Genuine healings. Two people. Out of how many
[56:30] Speaker 1: in that place? If you heal two out of every ten,
[56:35] Speaker 1: is that enough to call it a healing ministry? You
[56:37] Speaker 1: should be grateful but not contented. Not like, no, no, no.
[56:41] Speaker 1: You should be angry. A holy dissatisfaction. The Bible says
[56:48] Speaker 1: handkerchiefs and aprons were taken from the body of an apostle.
[56:52] Speaker 1: Same Lord, same grace, same blood that you receive. What
[56:56] Speaker 1: has changed now? Why can we not enter their experience?
[57:00] Speaker 1: You know, most times we talk about so many things
[57:03] Speaker 1: in the Bible. Sometimes I feel, not condemnation, but sincerely,
[57:07] Speaker 1: I feel guilty as a preacher when I'm reading certain things.
[57:10] Speaker 1: I'm almost tempted to close it and say, God, what
[57:12] Speaker 1: is wrong with us? What is wrong with us? How
[57:15] Speaker 1: do you feel comfortable reading this? My God, there were
[57:21] Speaker 1: men who were like gods in the Bible. If you
[57:23] Speaker 1: saw Samuel, your life would have to change. He was
[57:27] Speaker 1: called a seer. Just by seeing him, what is missing
[57:31] Speaker 1: returns back home. He has not prayed, oh, you just
[57:33] Speaker 1: encountered him. How about Moses, the nation of Israel? As
[57:38] Speaker 1: soon as they saw him, the light, they said, no, no, no, no, no.
[57:42] Speaker 1: He did not even know his face was shining. That's
[57:44] Speaker 1: what the glory of God can do. These were not parables.
[57:48] Speaker 1: It's in your Bible. Jesus will heal people and beg
[57:51] Speaker 1: them not to announce it. They were too grateful to
[57:54] Speaker 1: keep quiet. How about women who encountered him once, left
[57:58] Speaker 1: their water pots, left everything and ran to a city.
[58:02] Speaker 1: When was the last time that happened? You encountered many people,
[58:05] Speaker 1: they argued with you, they almost injured you. You had
[58:08] Speaker 1: to leave. Yet it's the same God you were trying
[58:11] Speaker 1: to talk about. How about prophets who said by this
[58:15] Speaker 1: time tomorrow, How many times have we said, by this
[58:18] Speaker 1: time tomorrow, by this time next week, by this time
[58:21] Speaker 1: one month, and nothing happened? Come up here, that is
[58:31] Speaker 1: a journey to perfection. It's a journey to maturity. It's
[58:35] Speaker 1: a journey to command of authentic power and grace that
[58:39] Speaker 1: you can demonstrate God to a generation. My God, I
[58:44] Speaker 1: read about these ones we call God's generals. And you know,
[58:47] Speaker 1: we talk a lot about them, but let me tell
[58:49] Speaker 1: you sincerely, without any condemnation, we do not come close
[58:54] Speaker 1: to even those who cleaned those churches those days. I've
[59:01] Speaker 1: had the honor of watching some of their videos. I've
[59:03] Speaker 1: had the honor of listening to a few people who
[59:05] Speaker 1: were at their meetings. History and media did not do
[59:10] Speaker 1: justice in capturing the extent of the God life that
[59:14] Speaker 1: flowed through them. Email. Email. Help me. Email. Listen. We've
[59:42] Speaker 1: been shouting forever that the wealth of the wicked is
[59:45] Speaker 1: laid for the righteous. There are few people. The testimonies
[59:49] Speaker 1: are so scanty, it looks like a lie. We have
[59:52] Speaker 1: said this thing for a long time. I'm part of
[59:55] Speaker 1: those who have said it. That there are men who
[59:57] Speaker 1: will handle the wealth of nations. And yet the unbelievers,
[1:00:01] Speaker 1: we keep saying money will flow to them. They look
[1:00:04] Speaker 1: at us with pity. Then later we beg them, say,
[1:00:06] Speaker 1: help me while I'm trying to get this thing. Something
[1:00:09] Speaker 1: is wrong with our understanding. I'm not being sarcastic. It's
[1:00:13] Speaker 1: a prophetic convergence. The goal is to plant a holy
[1:00:17] Speaker 1: hunger and anger within you. Something is wrong. We're not
[1:00:21] Speaker 1: getting something right. Are we together? There's something we're not
[1:00:26] Speaker 1: getting right. And let me tell you, if you continue
[1:00:29] Speaker 1: doing church that way, very soon our fields will be empty.
[1:00:33] Speaker 1: Because people are looking for God. They want to see
[1:00:35] Speaker 1: the grace, the power of God. Are we together? They
[1:00:40] Speaker 1: want to see a God that answers prayer. They want
[1:00:43] Speaker 1: to see a God whose love can be proven in
[1:00:45] Speaker 1: the world of men. They want to see a God
[1:00:48] Speaker 1: whose mercy, when you say he's a lifter, show he's
[1:00:51] Speaker 1: a lifter. When you say he can turn lives around,
[1:00:55] Speaker 1: show he can turn lives around. When you say he heals,
[1:00:58] Speaker 1: let the sick be the one to testify that he
[1:01:01] Speaker 1: healed me. There are results that are too notable to
[1:01:07] Speaker 1: be manipulated. Too notable to be faked. Are we together?
[1:01:11] Speaker 1: Now thank God for all these small healings. Not to
[1:01:15] Speaker 1: demean them. It's all the power of God. But it's
[1:01:17] Speaker 1: not notable enough. How many believers have prospered in the
[1:01:30] Speaker 1: UK the way the Bible says should happen? We keep
[1:01:34] Speaker 1: saying we have the power to get wealth. We keep
[1:01:36] Speaker 1: saying the favor of God is on us. And the
[1:01:39] Speaker 1: Bible has left us exceeding great and precious promises. Now
[1:01:43] Speaker 1: there are unbelievers who are looking. Okay, let me study
[1:01:46] Speaker 1: from afar. Let me see a demonstration of God's faithfulness
[1:01:49] Speaker 1: in the life of this person. Yes, you can serve
[1:01:51] Speaker 1: God in spite of. But how about serving God in
[1:01:54] Speaker 1: the midst of? You can serve God in the midst
[1:02:00] Speaker 1: of blessings. Are we together now? Away with that mentality
[1:02:06] Speaker 1: that your increase and prosperity is dangerous. It's ignorance. The
[1:02:11] Speaker 1: holiest person on earth, the holiest person in our God
[1:02:15] Speaker 1: himself is still the wealthiest person. It did not affect
[1:02:17] Speaker 1: his holiness. The cattle on a thousand fields belongs to him.
[1:02:21] Speaker 1: The very earth is there. All this argument about land.
[1:02:24] Speaker 1: The real owner is the epitome of holiness. Many of
[1:02:34] Speaker 1: you here right now, if I ask you to write
[1:02:36] Speaker 1: your request like I'll be asking you in the evening,
[1:02:38] Speaker 1: most of it will be housing issues. Am I right
[1:02:42] Speaker 1: on that? Or some kind of bills. Some of you,
[1:02:45] Speaker 1: whilst you are seated here, you love Jesus with all
[1:02:47] Speaker 1: your heart. For you would be a better believer if
[1:02:50] Speaker 1: certain things were sorted. You would be a better witness
[1:02:53] Speaker 1: of his faithfulness if certain things were sorted. It's the
[1:02:56] Speaker 1: reason why we celebrate testimonies when we hear them. First,
[1:03:00] Speaker 1: because we glorify God, but it also connects to what
[1:03:03] Speaker 1: we truly desire. God, this is what I want to do.
[1:03:06] Speaker 1: This is what I'm trusting you to do. Hallelujah. T.L. Osborne,
[1:03:15] Speaker 1: when he began his ministry, He just began by talking
[1:03:19] Speaker 1: about a God he did not know. He went to
[1:03:22] Speaker 1: India and he was disappointed. Nobody listened to him. A
[1:03:25] Speaker 1: few tragedies happened in his life that caused him to
[1:03:28] Speaker 1: go back and seek God. To get authentic power. To
[1:03:33] Speaker 1: be a witness. He returned back to you. To India.
[1:03:36] Speaker 1: And the same deafness they gave to his word. He
[1:03:40] Speaker 1: got angry. And he called I was told. Several sick people.
[1:03:44] Speaker 1: Right in the presence of everyone. When miracles began to erupt.
[1:03:48] Speaker 1: Let me tell you this. When you see a genuine
[1:03:52] Speaker 1: manifestation of the hand of God, no matter how hardened
[1:03:55] Speaker 1: you are, something will happen to you. Even if you
[1:03:58] Speaker 1: choose to live in denial, you will never be the same.
[1:04:01] Speaker 1: If you actually see God display his power in the
[1:04:04] Speaker 1: midst of men, it becomes too notable. You may argue
[1:04:08] Speaker 1: it and pretend it like the scribes and the Pharisees,
[1:04:12] Speaker 1: but you will go back home with conviction. I saw it.
[1:04:15] Speaker 1: It is truly God. This kind of testimony, men cannot
[1:04:19] Speaker 1: produce it. This kind of change of story, man cannot
[1:04:23] Speaker 1: do this. That a sister came here and by evening
[1:04:26] Speaker 1: someone called you and said, God told me to give
[1:04:28] Speaker 1: you a house. How do you say that is coincidence?
[1:04:32] Speaker 1: Are we together now? I'll take care of your children
[1:04:35] Speaker 1: all through to college. Diagnosed of stage 4 cancer with
[1:04:41] Speaker 1: the medical reports and both you and the doctor who
[1:04:44] Speaker 1: treated you are in the service. And he's watching your
[1:04:47] Speaker 1: other reports. Come on now. We rob God from being
[1:04:52] Speaker 1: glorified when we do not grow, when we do not rise,
[1:04:56] Speaker 1: when we do not contend, when we keep talking, proposing
[1:04:59] Speaker 1: a God to the nations whose power and ability and
[1:05:03] Speaker 1: wisdom we cannot defend. Let me tell you this. This
[1:05:06] Speaker 1: generation that God has placed us now is not a
[1:05:08] Speaker 1: generation of blind loyalty. You are going to have to
[1:05:11] Speaker 1: give an evidence. There is a generation that has been
[1:05:14] Speaker 1: distracted away from God through technology, through the reality of
[1:05:19] Speaker 1: the times that we live in. You want to call
[1:05:21] Speaker 1: your attention? It's not going to be by blind loyalty.
[1:05:24] Speaker 1: You will waste your time for nothing. It is the
[1:05:26] Speaker 1: reason why our churches continue to get emptier and emptier.
[1:05:30] Speaker 1: Do you know why? There are enough people to fill them,
[1:05:32] Speaker 1: but the evidence to bring them there is not there.
[1:05:35] Speaker 1: And if you do not have the evidence, you are
[1:05:37] Speaker 1: not a witness. What makes a witness a witness is
[1:05:40] Speaker 1: that he has a token of truthfulness called evidence. I
[1:05:49] Speaker 1: was blessed listening to the testimonies. The dear lady who
[1:05:52] Speaker 1: came sharing her testimony. And while I sat there I said, God,
[1:05:55] Speaker 1: these are the kinds of things we want to see.
[1:05:58] Speaker 1: Spectacular manifestations of his grace. Beyond falling down and standing up.
[1:06:03] Speaker 1: Beyond shouting in church. When we shout in church, we
[1:06:06] Speaker 1: are the only ones who know what we are doing. Now,
[1:06:11] Speaker 1: I'm not downplaying it, but I mean, who cares? Translate
[1:06:14] Speaker 1: the God life to a context that will silence the
[1:06:17] Speaker 1: arguments of men. Silence the arguments of men. That you
[1:06:22] Speaker 1: stood before all men and said, the God I serve lived.
[1:06:26] Speaker 1: They will laugh at you and mock at you. Let
[1:06:28] Speaker 1: them find a reason to say, I'm sorry. Because God
[1:06:30] Speaker 1: will sign something upon your life. And someone will come
[1:06:36] Speaker 1: to you to say, listen, this is the kind of
[1:06:38] Speaker 1: God I want to find. We are selling a Jesus
[1:06:40] Speaker 1: to our nations They are not interested in Because our
[1:06:44] Speaker 1: testimony about him Makes him look fake Our testimony about
[1:06:48] Speaker 1: him makes Social media look better than him If I
[1:06:54] Speaker 1: can Create an app. Or I can send something about
[1:06:57] Speaker 1: my product. And with one click it goes around the world.
[1:07:00] Speaker 1: And you are telling me. Love him. Serve him. Because
[1:07:03] Speaker 1: you love him. But then that he can lift you.
[1:07:05] Speaker 1: And you claim to have placed favor on my head.
[1:07:08] Speaker 1: And I do not see any. No. When a herbalist
[1:07:12] Speaker 1: does something to you. You will see the results. This
[1:07:15] Speaker 1: is somebody you believe is not of God. You believe
[1:07:17] Speaker 1: he's of the devil. And yet he gives you all
[1:07:20] Speaker 1: kinds of rubbish. Tie this, do this, drink this, do that.
[1:07:23] Speaker 1: And then in the midst of it, as ugly as
[1:07:25] Speaker 1: it looks, you will be surprised that the destiny helper
[1:07:28] Speaker 1: just shows up from somewhere and says, I don't even
[1:07:30] Speaker 1: know what I'm doing here. But you know what brought him.
[1:07:35] Speaker 1: Come up here. Come up here. Preachers, come up here. Businessmen,
[1:07:41] Speaker 1: come up here. That in one year, you start a
[1:07:45] Speaker 1: business and in that one year. Listen, I believe in process.
[1:07:50] Speaker 1: I don't believe in get rich quick. But I also
[1:07:53] Speaker 1: don't believe in get rich slow. No, I don't. I don't.
[1:07:58] Speaker 1: Unapologetically slow. Don't think I'm going to say I'm sorry.
[1:08:02] Speaker 1: Not at all. Do you know why? Because the purpose
[1:08:05] Speaker 1: of wealth is to serve the program of God. And
[1:08:08] Speaker 1: you need time to serve the program of God. And
[1:08:11] Speaker 1: if that whole time is spent trying to get your
[1:08:13] Speaker 1: needs met, it's an attack. That's not how it was
[1:08:16] Speaker 1: supposed to work. You believe me on this. It's an attack. Hallelujah.
[1:08:25] Speaker 1: So the call, come up here. It's a proposal from
[1:08:29] Speaker 1: God to begin a journey with you. A journey that
[1:08:32] Speaker 1: makes your Christian experience all the way effective. An experience
[1:08:38] Speaker 1: with God that turns you like we shared the last
[1:08:40] Speaker 1: time during our retreat for the walkers, a sign and
[1:08:43] Speaker 1: a wonder. Listen, ladies and gentlemen, no matter how we
[1:08:46] Speaker 1: shout reviver, we brag reviver, we discuss reviver, the world
[1:08:50] Speaker 1: will keep looking at us making a jest of ourselves
[1:08:53] Speaker 1: in church until we can import the God life to
[1:08:56] Speaker 1: a context that rattles our civilization as we know it.
[1:09:03] Speaker 1: Three Hebrew boys. They didn't talk revival or they caused revival.
[1:09:08] Speaker 1: They entered the fire and in 24 hours. Or less
[1:09:13] Speaker 1: than that. They brought great glory to the name of
[1:09:15] Speaker 1: the Lord. Today we shout revival. We write books about it.
[1:09:18] Speaker 1: But nothing happens that looks like it. Because it was
[1:09:21] Speaker 1: not supposed to be a discussion. It was a demonstration.
[1:09:25] Speaker 1: A demonstration of men who have found God. Found God genuinely.
[1:09:29] Speaker 1: Enough to use the power that has come from that encounter.
[1:09:33] Speaker 1: To influence their world. But let me tell you in
[1:09:36] Speaker 1: the name of Jesus. The body of Christ is rising.
[1:09:39] Speaker 1: Even the body of Christ in Europe is rising. I
[1:09:42] Speaker 1: was reading a few statistics about the church in Europe.
[1:09:45] Speaker 1: And with all due respect, it broke my heart. It
[1:09:48] Speaker 1: really broke my heart. It broke my heart. The decline
[1:09:53] Speaker 1: in terms of passion for God. The decline in terms
[1:09:57] Speaker 1: of church attendance. The decline in the interest of people
[1:10:01] Speaker 1: even to get into ministry. Because they have so failed
[1:10:04] Speaker 1: in ministry. They failed carrying the name of Jesus on
[1:10:08] Speaker 1: their heads and the world told them go back. Go
[1:10:10] Speaker 1: and know the Jesus. Unbelievers recommended that they needed encounters.
[1:10:17] Speaker 1: They said we don't believe in Jesus but this one
[1:10:19] Speaker 1: is not the one you are talking about. Hallelujah. This
[1:10:27] Speaker 1: morning I want to give you three keys. Keep these
[1:10:31] Speaker 1: keys and you will find yourself walking in profound dimensions
[1:10:37] Speaker 1: of the God life. These keys have come from my
[1:10:41] Speaker 1: study of scripture, my study of men and women by
[1:10:44] Speaker 1: the grace of God who have done much and are
[1:10:46] Speaker 1: doing much for the kingdom. And they have also come
[1:10:50] Speaker 1: by the privilege of Of the bits that God has
[1:10:54] Speaker 1: helped us to see. In this spiritual journey. Is someone
[1:10:58] Speaker 1: ready to learn? I want to show you by the spirit.
[1:11:05] Speaker 1: Three hindrances. That can stop you. From coming up here.
[1:11:11] Speaker 1: The hindrances. Three of them. That can stop you from
[1:11:15] Speaker 1: attaining the reality. Of the life and the power of God.
[1:11:20] Speaker 1: If you avoid these three keys, I tell you, regardless
[1:11:24] Speaker 1: what level you are in now, spiritually and otherwise, you
[1:11:27] Speaker 1: will transit in the Spirit faster than you ever imagined.
[1:11:32] Speaker 1: You will step into realms of the anointing. You will
[1:11:35] Speaker 1: step into realms of power, realms of wisdom, realms of grace.
[1:11:38] Speaker 1: You believe that, shout aloud, Amen. Pray in the Spirit
[1:11:43] Speaker 1: for one minute, and then we'll discuss this very briefly.
[1:11:55] Speaker 1: Come up here A journey to higher levels Deeper dimensions
[1:12:01] Speaker 1: in the spirit I.
[1:12:09] Speaker 5: Believe I manifest Your power And your wisdom Till the
[1:12:20] Speaker 5: nations see Jesus.
[1:12:25] Speaker 4: Lifted up, exalted.
[1:12:31] Speaker 1: I receive, I manifest your power and your wisdom.
[1:12:41] Speaker 4: Till the nations see Jesus lifted up, Number one, the
[1:12:54] Speaker 4: first hindrance to rising to a higher dimension in.
[1:12:59] Speaker 1: The spirit is The first hindrance that will stop you
[1:13:25] Speaker 1: from coming up either by the Spirit of God is
[1:13:29] Speaker 1: called disinterest towards God and spiritual things. Disinterest towards God.
[1:13:39] Speaker 1: Disinterest towards God and spiritual things. There are men and
[1:13:45] Speaker 1: women who will never rise to superior dimensions in the Spirit.
[1:13:49] Speaker 1: Not because of an attack from Satan. There is a
[1:13:53] Speaker 1: determination from them. As an act of their will. That
[1:13:57] Speaker 1: I'm not interested in God. And I'm not interested in
[1:14:00] Speaker 1: the things of the spirit. I have met people that way.
[1:14:03] Speaker 1: They have met me. They have listened to my messages.
[1:14:05] Speaker 1: And you would think they would be so transformed. I
[1:14:08] Speaker 1: have met people who as an act of their will.
[1:14:11] Speaker 1: They have made up their mind. As a commitment. That
[1:14:14] Speaker 1: they would not be serious with God. Disinterest completely. Towards God.
[1:14:20] Speaker 1: And towards spiritual things. disinterest towards prayer, disinterest towards the
[1:14:25] Speaker 1: ministry of the word, disinterest towards church. Have you met
[1:14:30] Speaker 1: people like that? No matter how spectacular you share your testimony,
[1:14:34] Speaker 1: they will watch this way. It's not an attack. They
[1:14:37] Speaker 1: just as an act of their will, they have not
[1:14:40] Speaker 1: seen the relevance of God nor spiritual things in their lives.
[1:14:46] Speaker 1: There is no coming up higher for such a person.
[1:14:49] Speaker 1: As much as God is wonderful and merciful and compassionate,
[1:14:52] Speaker 1: He allows men to show their interest. Then he brings you.
[1:14:59] Speaker 1: I looked and then he said, come up here. This
[1:15:03] Speaker 1: interest towards God. When you really want to help a
[1:15:06] Speaker 1: man to do business with God, you have to pray
[1:15:09] Speaker 1: for grace for that person to as an act of
[1:15:12] Speaker 1: his or her will, find interest in the things of God.
[1:15:16] Speaker 1: Are we together now? There are people who are not
[1:15:19] Speaker 1: interested in anything prayer. They are not interested in anything
[1:15:24] Speaker 1: word study. They are not interested in anything spiritual development.
[1:15:29] Speaker 1: They would argue and argue and say to what end.
[1:15:32] Speaker 1: They would listen to a message like this and all
[1:15:34] Speaker 1: they can find, oh, well, he's a nice man. I
[1:15:37] Speaker 1: like the way he speaks. Wow. See the people saying amen.
[1:15:39] Speaker 1: What nice people. I think if people are like this,
[1:15:42] Speaker 1: our society will be better. That's all you got from this?
[1:15:45] Speaker 1: This interest. As funny as that sounds, there are people
[1:15:50] Speaker 1: even in your region like that. Their issue is not ignorance.
[1:15:54] Speaker 1: They have access to anybody who can help them. They
[1:15:58] Speaker 1: are just not interested. There are children like that. There
[1:16:02] Speaker 1: are parents like that. Their children are prayer warriors, fasting giants,
[1:16:07] Speaker 1: apostles and prophets. And yet the father or the mother,
[1:16:11] Speaker 1: they can say, wow, I hear that you are doing well.
[1:16:14] Speaker 1: In fact, I hear right now that you bought a
[1:16:16] Speaker 1: church building. Tom Soap, you are my son. And yet
[1:16:18] Speaker 1: the man will never be changed by his son, Salmon.
[1:16:22] Speaker 1: It's not an attack. He will even advise you and say,
[1:16:24] Speaker 1: let me advise you. Do ministry well. Make sure you
[1:16:27] Speaker 1: love God. You have one building now. Make sure you
[1:16:30] Speaker 1: consider expansion. I think that's a good idea. This is
[1:16:32] Speaker 1: a man advising you. You say, can I pray that
[1:16:36] Speaker 1: prayer thing? Don't worry. I'm okay. I'm fine all by myself.
[1:16:39] Speaker 1: And you see, because God gave men a will, he
[1:16:43] Speaker 1: will respect you. Even at the detriment of your efficiency
[1:16:47] Speaker 1: in the spirit. Are we together? God cannot help a
[1:16:54] Speaker 1: man beyond his level of interest for spiritual things. The
[1:16:58] Speaker 1: Bible says to be spiritually minded is life. But to
[1:17:02] Speaker 1: be carnally minded is death. Even if you do not
[1:17:07] Speaker 1: have the power to sponsor that transition. Your willingness to
[1:17:11] Speaker 1: want God, your willingness to love God, your willingness to
[1:17:15] Speaker 1: love His house, His word, prayer, your willingness to love
[1:17:20] Speaker 1: the realm where you stand in the anointing, being a
[1:17:22] Speaker 1: blessing to people, that's enough. But if God does not
[1:17:26] Speaker 1: find that willingness, believe me, you will not go far
[1:17:29] Speaker 1: with Him. This interest in spiritual things. Some of you,
[1:17:33] Speaker 1: when you came to UK here, you worked as an
[1:17:36] Speaker 1: act of your will. You began to prioritize a lot
[1:17:39] Speaker 1: of things and God was not part of it. And
[1:17:42] Speaker 1: for some, sadly, God is still not part of it.
[1:17:45] Speaker 1: You like the idea of God. In fact, one of
[1:17:48] Speaker 1: your plans is to build an auditorium like this so
[1:17:51] Speaker 1: that you can help churches. But your passion for God,
[1:17:54] Speaker 1: you're not interested. It's time for a rethink. Come up
[1:17:58] Speaker 1: here now. It's a call to use the gift of
[1:18:01] Speaker 1: your will to say, I need you. I need you.
[1:18:06] Speaker 1: I need you. I don't know my way around this spiritual,
[1:18:10] Speaker 1: this jungle of the realm of the spirit, but Lord,
[1:18:14] Speaker 1: I need you. The Bible says the Lord is nigh
[1:18:16] Speaker 1: them that call upon him, not them who assume he's there.
[1:18:22] Speaker 1: Them that call upon him. You must declare your interest.
[1:18:25] Speaker 1: For someone you came for service this morning. And the
[1:18:28] Speaker 1: Lord is saying. I am ready to help you. If
[1:18:30] Speaker 1: you are willing. Willing. Willing. Complete disinterest. It is true
[1:18:41] Speaker 1: that the prophetic is in your destiny. The apostolic. The pastoral.
[1:18:45] Speaker 1: The healing ministry. Kingdom financing. All of this is true.
[1:18:50] Speaker 1: But are you interested in God enough? Are we together now?
[1:18:54] Speaker 1: Are you interested in him enough? Is prayer a distraction
[1:18:59] Speaker 1: to you or you perceive it to be a distraction?
[1:19:02] Speaker 1: The study of the word? How about the house of God?
[1:19:05] Speaker 1: There are many people who have not learned the value
[1:19:07] Speaker 1: of the house of God. When the psalmist said, I'd
[1:19:10] Speaker 1: rather be a doorkeeper. How can a man who is
[1:19:12] Speaker 1: a king, what is in the house of God that
[1:19:14] Speaker 1: is not in his palace? That man's palace was made
[1:19:17] Speaker 1: of gold. And yet he said, I will give that
[1:19:20] Speaker 1: up to be in his presence. That means there must
[1:19:22] Speaker 1: be something in his presence that gold cannot give. There
[1:19:25] Speaker 1: must be something in his presence silver cannot give. There
[1:19:28] Speaker 1: must be something in his presence employment cannot give. Don't
[1:19:31] Speaker 1: reduce God to an employment letter. Don't reduce God to
[1:19:34] Speaker 1: just a coin, silver. He gives all this, but he's
[1:19:38] Speaker 1: more than that. Is someone learning? The value of his presence.
[1:19:44] Speaker 1: To a point that Moses, now a prophet and a deliverer,
[1:19:47] Speaker 1: would say, if your presence would not go with us,
[1:19:51] Speaker 1: do not send us from here. The man was willing
[1:19:54] Speaker 1: to assume the position of delay, provided God's presence would
[1:19:58] Speaker 1: not go. How can a man prefer delay? I'd rather
[1:20:02] Speaker 1: be here in the UK and not have a house,
[1:20:05] Speaker 1: not have a car, if your presence would not go
[1:20:07] Speaker 1: with me. A man can choose that. That means there's
[1:20:10] Speaker 1: something about his presence you must learn. Hallelujah. This interest
[1:20:20] Speaker 1: for the things of God. In 2 Timothy chapter 3,
[1:20:26] Speaker 1: 1 to 4. Let's hurry up so we can wrap
[1:20:28] Speaker 1: up this morning. 2 Timothy chapter 3, 1 to 4.
[1:20:34] Speaker 1: I'm showing you the first hindrance. He said, this know also...
[1:20:39] Speaker 1: That in the last days perilous times shall come. Verse 2.
[1:20:43] Speaker 1: It says for men shall be lovers of their own self.
[1:20:47] Speaker 1: Does that look like today? Covetous. Boasters.
[1:20:52] Speaker 2: Proud.
[1:20:53] Speaker 1: Blasphemous. Disobedient to parents. Unthankful. Unholy. Without natural affection, truth breakers,
[1:21:02] Speaker 1: false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good.
[1:21:09] Speaker 1: Final verse. Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasure more than
[1:21:16] Speaker 1: lovers of God. They would give up God a thousand
[1:21:23] Speaker 1: times to embrace pleasure. Is someone learning? As you are
[1:21:28] Speaker 1: listening to me. Allow the spirit of God. That there
[1:21:31] Speaker 1: is a circumcision that is happening within your heart. And
[1:21:35] Speaker 1: don't fight it. That circumcision. That caught in a way.
[1:21:40] Speaker 1: Is bringing you to a higher level in the spirit.
[1:21:43] Speaker 1: There are things God cannot do with you. With your
[1:21:45] Speaker 1: current version. disinterest for someone you came this morning and
[1:21:50] Speaker 1: your cry should be work on my heart my passion
[1:21:54] Speaker 1: has died walk on my heart oh god i don't
[1:21:57] Speaker 1: know what happened it didn't used to be like this
[1:21:59] Speaker 1: before i came to the united kingdom or it didn't
[1:22:01] Speaker 1: used to be like this before i got a job
[1:22:03] Speaker 1: it didn't used to be like this before i got
[1:22:05] Speaker 1: married before i got children now the vicissitudes of life
[1:22:08] Speaker 1: have eroded away my passion for the things of god
[1:22:11] Speaker 1: there needs to be a restoration it's an emergency case
[1:22:18] Speaker 1: Are we together? Because I can tell you, everything you
[1:22:22] Speaker 1: hold on to that God is not the one holding
[1:22:24] Speaker 1: on to, you will lose it. And you believe me,
[1:22:29] Speaker 1: I don't know everything, but I've sojourned this life a
[1:22:32] Speaker 1: bit to know that it is vanity to hold anything
[1:22:35] Speaker 1: God is not holding. Eventually, you will find out that
[1:22:40] Speaker 1: it will evaporate like a vapor in one moment. I
[1:22:44] Speaker 1: have seen the influence of many diminish overnight. I've seen
[1:22:48] Speaker 1: the wealth of many diminish overnight. I've seen governments change
[1:22:52] Speaker 1: and with one policy, millionaires became paupers overnight. It is
[1:22:56] Speaker 1: only what God keeps that is really kept. Nobody can
[1:23:01] Speaker 1: keep anything God has not kept. Listen, my dear people,
[1:23:05] Speaker 1: listen to me. I want you to cultivate a hunger
[1:23:09] Speaker 1: and a passion for God that as an act of
[1:23:12] Speaker 1: your will, you will make up your mind that from
[1:23:15] Speaker 1: this session, I'm ready to come up here.
[1:23:18] Speaker 7: Ready.
[1:23:20] Speaker 1: I'm ready. Ready with my life. That everything you have
[1:23:25] Speaker 1: designed for me, I'm ready to become it. But that
[1:23:28] Speaker 1: would be at the mercy of your interest. That Lord,
[1:23:32] Speaker 1: whatever it takes to find my prayer life back to life.
[1:23:36] Speaker 1: My word study life. My passion for the house of God.
[1:23:40] Speaker 1: Tired of giving excuses that it's because I'm a mother.
[1:23:43] Speaker 1: Tired of giving excuses that it's because now I have children.
[1:23:47] Speaker 1: Tired of saying I'm living far away. It's a lie.
[1:23:51] Speaker 1: Everybody has time for what you place value on. Did
[1:23:54] Speaker 1: you hear what I said? There are many people who
[1:23:58] Speaker 1: will not go to the house of God. But you
[1:24:00] Speaker 1: call them and say, I have a check of 10,000 pounds.
[1:24:02] Speaker 1: Where are you? I'm at the other end of London.
[1:24:05] Speaker 1: Can you come? I'm coming right away. I've searched my life.
[1:24:18] Speaker 1: And I pray to God every time. Even while I'm
[1:24:20] Speaker 1: standing here. That if there is anything that can take
[1:24:24] Speaker 1: his place in my life. May he never give me. No, no, no, no.
[1:24:30] Speaker 1: You know I've said amen many times. Amen with tears
[1:24:32] Speaker 1: in my eyes.
[1:24:34] Speaker 2: Believe me.
[1:24:37] Speaker 1: You see, when you see God using people in spectacular ways,
[1:24:41] Speaker 1: it's more than an impartation. It's more than good preaching.
[1:24:45] Speaker 1: It's more than Greek and Hebrew. You can shout all
[1:24:48] Speaker 1: you can. There is a presence factor that only your hunger,
[1:24:53] Speaker 1: you see, The nations will not listen to you just
[1:24:59] Speaker 1: because you have something to say. Our world is full
[1:25:03] Speaker 1: of eloquent men. Our world is full of wise men.
[1:25:07] Speaker 1: Our world is full of technocrats, intelligent men who have
[1:25:11] Speaker 1: stretched their mental faculty border to border. When I had
[1:25:16] Speaker 1: an invitation to come to Harvard and deliver a lecture,
[1:25:19] Speaker 1: I went to God in prayer and I said, Lord,
[1:25:21] Speaker 1: I'm not a lecturer. I'm not an academician. Why did
[1:25:26] Speaker 1: you do this? Because I know that everything God does,
[1:25:30] Speaker 1: there is purpose behind it. And God said, I'm fulfilling
[1:25:34] Speaker 1: something that I told you, that if you will let
[1:25:37] Speaker 1: men see me, there is nothing I will not give you.
[1:25:41] Speaker 1: And if that is done in the religious world alone,
[1:25:44] Speaker 1: it will look like the bias of spirituality. But if
[1:25:49] Speaker 1: that happens within a secular institution, now those professors are
[1:25:53] Speaker 1: not fools. This is Harvard. Harvard. And when God brought
[1:25:58] Speaker 1: glory to his name, I returned back. And I remember this.
[1:26:03] Speaker 1: After this, I looked. After this. No, I don't look
[1:26:11] Speaker 1: behind for too long. Thank you. Well done. After this,
[1:26:17] Speaker 1: I looked. After the sound of revival, great things that
[1:26:23] Speaker 1: God did. My goodness, my phone was full of Text
[1:26:26] Speaker 1: messages and, you know, all kinds of things. I remember
[1:26:32] Speaker 1: preparing to go back. The night I would leave UK,
[1:26:36] Speaker 1: I got down on my knees. And I said, oh God,
[1:26:38] Speaker 1: show me mercy. Let the foolishness that has destroyed great
[1:26:42] Speaker 1: men not catch up with me. After this, I looked.
[1:26:49] Speaker 1: Now we are preparing for Sound of Revival, US, UK,
[1:26:53] Speaker 1: and in the midst of the wonderful things happening, Canada,
[1:26:56] Speaker 1: all of these places. And sometimes, you know, people sincerely
[1:27:00] Speaker 1: send wonderful commendations. But after this, I look. After this.
[1:27:09] Speaker 1: Anything that happens in time is not worth your distraction.
[1:27:14] Speaker 1: Rejoice over it. I remember a gentleman who flew all
[1:27:21] Speaker 1: the way from the U.S., had been mightily impacted. And
[1:27:26] Speaker 1: this gentleman came in to come and sow his seed. Met,
[1:27:30] Speaker 1: I think we met in Ghana. And then I prayed
[1:27:33] Speaker 1: for him. He returned back and God opened up his,
[1:27:38] Speaker 1: you know, his financial destiny. This gentleman was making five
[1:27:42] Speaker 1: figures every month, doing very well. And he decided, was
[1:27:46] Speaker 1: it $ 100, 000 or something of that sort, just to come
[1:27:49] Speaker 1: and sow into my life. And when he came down
[1:27:52] Speaker 1: to Nigeria, I met him. And when he was saying
[1:27:55] Speaker 1: all those things, he first did a video and gave
[1:27:57] Speaker 1: up people to show me. And then when he came,
[1:27:59] Speaker 1: I looked at him. It was such a spectacular testimony.
[1:28:03] Speaker 1: And as I looked at him, the Lord told me,
[1:28:04] Speaker 1: he said, that money is not your own. Tell him
[1:28:07] Speaker 1: to go back to U.S. with it and sow it
[1:28:10] Speaker 1: into the Koinonia account there in U.S. for the conference. Yes, sir.
[1:28:16] Speaker 1: What do I have that did not come from you?
[1:28:18] Speaker 1: And then when I was done, it was such a
[1:28:21] Speaker 1: great testimony. It's a good thing as a leader to
[1:28:24] Speaker 1: teach people and see them become. That is your pride.
[1:28:27] Speaker 1: But after this, I looked. After tonight, we wrap up
[1:28:34] Speaker 1: this session. We have a session with the walkers. But
[1:28:37] Speaker 1: after that, even after God does the great things that
[1:28:42] Speaker 1: he will be doing here in the UK months to come,
[1:28:44] Speaker 1: believe me, you've not seen anything like it. If you
[1:28:47] Speaker 1: think you saw his hand last year, watch what he's
[1:28:50] Speaker 1: going to do this year. Yeah. Because the Bible says
[1:28:54] Speaker 1: they go from strength to strength. You will see his
[1:28:57] Speaker 1: hand in spectacular ways. Look forward to the sound of revival. Hallelujah.
[1:29:04] Speaker 1: But even after this. We will still look. Away from this.
[1:29:11] Speaker 1: But toward him. Because before this came. He was. He
[1:29:16] Speaker 1: still is. So when we look at this for a while.
[1:29:20] Speaker 1: And once it is done. We take our gaze immediately.
[1:29:23] Speaker 1: Let the world keep doing the clapping. But we set
[1:29:26] Speaker 1: our gaze. It's a big secret. I'm showing you hindrances. Disinterest.
[1:29:33] Speaker 1: Perhaps you were in this place and you were just
[1:29:35] Speaker 1: invited because you were told, you know, sincerely, it was
[1:29:37] Speaker 1: just supposed to be a session with the workers. But
[1:29:40] Speaker 1: I decided that, look, let's just open it up. And
[1:29:44] Speaker 1: that's why we decided to limit all of this. Hallelujah.
[1:29:53] Speaker 1: It's the reason why you see that we restricted a
[1:29:56] Speaker 1: lot of things, you know, because we didn't want people
[1:29:59] Speaker 1: beyond the space and then to have any chaos here.
[1:30:03] Speaker 1: After this, I looked. If you can look beyond everything
[1:30:11] Speaker 1: around your life, good or bad, then you are ready
[1:30:14] Speaker 1: to continue with God. When bad things happen, you learn
[1:30:18] Speaker 1: from them and you keep looking. When great things happen,
[1:30:23] Speaker 1: you use them to be encouraged, but you keep looking.
[1:30:27] Speaker 1: That way you have mastered continuity. Continuity. That after 10 years,
[1:30:33] Speaker 1: you will still be standing. And when people say, what
[1:30:35] Speaker 1: is your secret? You say, it's because I've learned how
[1:30:38] Speaker 1: to look. When I cry, I still look. When I laugh,
[1:30:42] Speaker 1: I still look. My feelings, my victories, my crowns, all
[1:30:46] Speaker 1: my scars do not stop me from looking. Are we
[1:30:50] Speaker 1: together now? Let me wrap up. So number one, this
[1:30:55] Speaker 1: interest for the things of God. Can I give you
[1:30:57] Speaker 1: number two and three? Number two, someone is learning. I
[1:31:02] Speaker 1: wish I had all night to discuss this. The state
[1:31:06] Speaker 1: of your heart. The second hindrance. In fact you can
[1:31:11] Speaker 1: call it the corruption of the heart. The second hindrance.
[1:31:17] Speaker 1: To men experiencing God at a higher level. Is the
[1:31:21] Speaker 1: state of your heart. The corruption of the state of
[1:31:25] Speaker 1: a man's heart. Jeremiah chapter 9. From verse 14. Okay,
[1:31:31] Speaker 1: Jeremiah 17, 9 and 10 says, the heart of man
[1:31:35] Speaker 1: is deceptive and it is desperately wicked. It says, who
[1:31:39] Speaker 1: above all, who can know it? Then verse 10 says,
[1:31:43] Speaker 1: I the Lord, I search the heart. Watch this. I
[1:31:47] Speaker 1: try the reins to give every man according to his
[1:31:52] Speaker 1: ways and according to the fruit of his findings. Can
[1:31:56] Speaker 1: you imagine this? Psalm 24, 3 and 4. Psalm 24.
[1:32:06] Speaker 1: Spirit have your way. In us today. Spirit take your place.
[1:32:17] Speaker 1: As we are changed.
[1:32:20] Speaker 3: Spirit have your way.
[1:32:25] Speaker 1: In us today.
[1:32:28] Speaker 3: Spirit take your place.
[1:32:32] Speaker 1: As we are changed forevermore. Psalm 24. Who shall ascend
[1:32:43] Speaker 1: to the hill of the Lord? Is a hill in
[1:32:46] Speaker 1: the spirit. These are the requirements. Or who shall stand
[1:32:51] Speaker 1: in his holy place? Verse 4. He that hath. clean hands.
[1:32:57] Speaker 1: He that hath a pure heart, who has not lifted
[1:33:02] Speaker 1: up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. Let me
[1:33:07] Speaker 1: tell you the truth. In my walk with God, and
[1:33:11] Speaker 1: believe me, I'm a student of revival. I have studied
[1:33:14] Speaker 1: the moves of God. The greatest requirement to being used
[1:33:18] Speaker 1: by God is the purity of your heart. Beyond your
[1:33:22] Speaker 1: prayer life, beyond your fasting, Beyond your word study, as
[1:33:27] Speaker 1: important as they are, the state of your heart vetoes
[1:33:31] Speaker 1: every other spiritual activity. You can fast all you can
[1:33:36] Speaker 1: with a corrupted heart. You only wasted your time. You
[1:33:39] Speaker 1: can pray all you can. That cry of the psalmist,
[1:33:44] Speaker 1: purify my heart. I've done a teaching on that. You
[1:33:47] Speaker 1: can go to Koinonia Global and get it. Purify my heart. Hallelujah.
[1:33:56] Speaker 1: You can do many correct things. But not with a
[1:33:59] Speaker 1: perfect heart. Like Amaziah. He did what was right in
[1:34:04] Speaker 1: the sight of God. But not with a perfect heart.
[1:34:09] Speaker 1: A pure heart. The state of your heart. Write this
[1:34:15] Speaker 1: for reference. In 2 Kings chapter 4. The full text
[1:34:20] Speaker 1: is from verse 8 to 31. But for sake of time,
[1:34:24] Speaker 1: I would just let you have the rendition so that
[1:34:28] Speaker 1: you learn. So the Bible talks about the woman in Shunem,
[1:34:32] Speaker 1: the Shunemite woman. That she had a child by the
[1:34:36] Speaker 1: word of the prophet Elisha. And then in the course
[1:34:39] Speaker 1: of time, the child became sick. And the father sent
[1:34:43] Speaker 1: that the mother would come and nurse the child. And
[1:34:45] Speaker 1: while he was on her lap, the child died. The
[1:34:48] Speaker 1: Bible says the woman got her donkeys and was on
[1:34:51] Speaker 1: her way to meet Elisha. And when she met Elisha,
[1:34:55] Speaker 1: Gehazi met, Elisha sent Gehazi to meet her on the way.
[1:34:59] Speaker 1: And he asked, are you fine? Is everything well? And
[1:35:01] Speaker 1: she said, I'm fine. When she met the prophet, she said,
[1:35:04] Speaker 1: I didn't ask you for a child. It was of
[1:35:06] Speaker 1: your making. You said you would pray for me to
[1:35:08] Speaker 1: have a child. Now the child is dead. I've come
[1:35:10] Speaker 1: to you. And do you know what happened? Elisha gave
[1:35:15] Speaker 1: Gehazi his rod. And said go with it at once.
[1:35:21] Speaker 1: Don't be so distracted to greet anybody. If anyone greets you.
[1:35:24] Speaker 1: Don't even respond. And go and lay that rod on
[1:35:28] Speaker 1: the child. And the child will come back to life.
[1:35:31] Speaker 1: And so Gehazi went ahead. And the woman said I'm
[1:35:33] Speaker 1: not leaving you. I don't trust this young man. And
[1:35:37] Speaker 1: so he prevailed. She prevailed upon him. And he was
[1:35:40] Speaker 1: going with her. But Gehazi had gone ahead of them.
[1:35:42] Speaker 1: The Bible says. When Gehazi went. He met the child dead.
[1:35:47] Speaker 1: And he placed the rod. What happened? The correct rod,
[1:35:54] Speaker 1: by the correct prophet, and yet it did not come
[1:35:57] Speaker 1: back to life. Because what powers the rod is the
[1:36:00] Speaker 1: state of your heart. The state of your heart is
[1:36:03] Speaker 1: that battery. Like you have a clock and there is
[1:36:06] Speaker 1: a battery behind it. You can buy a new clock,
[1:36:10] Speaker 1: if that battery is not there, it will not work.
[1:36:13] Speaker 1: The state of your heart. There are many people who
[1:36:16] Speaker 1: have received impartations, oil upon oil, mantle upon mantle, but
[1:36:21] Speaker 1: it fell dead upon a corrupted heart. Are we together?
[1:36:27] Speaker 1: It is not just about receiving. It is about the
[1:36:31] Speaker 1: purity of your heart. What makes your heart pure? I
[1:36:34] Speaker 1: will tell you. The desire in your heart to see
[1:36:37] Speaker 1: God glorified beyond making a name for yourself. That's what
[1:36:41] Speaker 1: makes your heart pure. The moment you get to a
[1:36:45] Speaker 1: point in your life where your entire life is all
[1:36:48] Speaker 1: about giving God glory. Like we say in Koinonia, Jesus revealed,
[1:36:51] Speaker 1: Jesus glorified. Everything about your life is one of the
[1:36:56] Speaker 1: biggest secrets of the life of this man standing before you.
[1:37:02] Speaker 1: It is not necessarily because I prayed the most, fasted
[1:37:05] Speaker 1: the most, studied the most. No. There is something about
[1:37:10] Speaker 1: God finding a heart that is sincere towards him. That
[1:37:14] Speaker 1: you sincerely desire to see him glorified. That was a
[1:37:18] Speaker 1: prayer I prayed before I left coming here. I said
[1:37:20] Speaker 1: Lord I'm on my way going again. The mission remains
[1:37:23] Speaker 1: the same. To see Jesus glorified. People will clap. They
[1:37:27] Speaker 1: will say apostle and this. But he glorified. I will
[1:37:35] Speaker 1: tell you this. Once you do not walk on your heart.
[1:37:40] Speaker 1: There are things God cannot trust you with. He cannot
[1:37:42] Speaker 1: trust you with people. He cannot trust you with resources.
[1:37:46] Speaker 1: He cannot trust you with opportunities. You know why? The
[1:37:50] Speaker 1: answer is found in Deuteronomy chapter 8. When you read
[1:37:53] Speaker 1: from this 11 to 17. Let your heart be lifted up.
[1:37:58] Speaker 1: In the presence of abundance, achievements, accomplishments. You tell yourself.
[1:38:03] Speaker 1: My power and the might of my hand has given
[1:38:07] Speaker 1: me this. There are many preachers who are great but
[1:38:11] Speaker 1: cannot be used by God beyond certain realms. Do you
[1:38:14] Speaker 1: know why? Because somewhere locked up in our hearts, that
[1:38:18] Speaker 1: desire for a name, that desire for fame. And it's
[1:38:23] Speaker 1: a temptation that befalls all men. You must resist it.
[1:38:28] Speaker 1: Resist it. Are we together now? There are business people
[1:38:32] Speaker 1: who cannot be used by God. Because the day you
[1:38:35] Speaker 1: make your first million dollars. Ten million dollars. Hundred million dollars.
[1:38:40] Speaker 1: My goodness. God will have to queue to listen to
[1:38:42] Speaker 1: you too. I mean God. He will come and join
[1:38:45] Speaker 1: the queue. And you say I'm busy. Who are you?
[1:38:47] Speaker 1: King of kings. It doesn't matter. You just join the queue.
[1:38:53] Speaker 1: Till the nations. Now you understand the song. Till the
[1:38:59] Speaker 1: nations see Jesus.
[1:39:03] Speaker 5: Till the nations see Jesus.
[1:39:08] Speaker 1: Lifted up. Glorified. I receive. I manifest. Your power and
[1:39:22] Speaker 1: your wisdom.
[1:39:24] Speaker 5: Till the nations see Jesus lifted up, glorified.
[1:39:35] Speaker 1: When your desire for power becomes as a tool to
[1:39:40] Speaker 1: help the nation see Jesus, then you are ready for authentic,
[1:39:44] Speaker 1: genuine power. When your desire for wealth is not just
[1:39:48] Speaker 1: to flash designers and say, I am this and that
[1:39:51] Speaker 1: and that. No, that's too small a reason. God's program
[1:39:55] Speaker 1: is bigger than just having a good dress. Nothing wrong
[1:39:57] Speaker 1: with that. But if that is the circumference of your pursuit,
[1:40:01] Speaker 1: you're wasting your time. As far as doing business with
[1:40:04] Speaker 1: God is concerned, Forever, Koinonia will live to sing his
[1:40:09] Speaker 1: praises and to let the nation see him. I tell you,
[1:40:13] Speaker 1: it's an intentional project to discourage anything that would just
[1:40:18] Speaker 1: lead to the promotion of self. Thank God for Joshua Selman.
[1:40:22] Speaker 1: But with or without me, God's program can happen. It's
[1:40:25] Speaker 1: an honor to be part of his program. Listen very carefully.
[1:40:30] Speaker 1: As God leads you, you must be careful. People can
[1:40:32] Speaker 1: clap you to your downfall. And when you fall they
[1:40:37] Speaker 1: will say come and see him. We said it. The
[1:40:45] Speaker 1: state of your heart. A broken and a contrite heart.
[1:40:51] Speaker 1: A broken and a contrite heart. A heart that is
[1:40:55] Speaker 1: ready to tremble before God. Lord you have given me
[1:40:59] Speaker 1: this grace. You have given me this glory. But it
[1:41:02] Speaker 1: is all yours. My life belongs to you. My resources
[1:41:07] Speaker 1: belong to you. The influence belongs to you. The songs,
[1:41:10] Speaker 1: the preachings, everything. And you let the nations know. The
[1:41:17] Speaker 1: safest position for a believer is to hide behind the cross.
[1:41:23] Speaker 1: The safest position, hide behind the cross. The world will
[1:41:28] Speaker 1: call you a fool, but you will last. Our obsession
[1:41:32] Speaker 1: for celebrity living And don't get me wrong. God is
[1:41:37] Speaker 1: all about increasing men and giving him visibility. But the
[1:41:41] Speaker 1: purpose is for his glory. You see that now. When
[1:41:44] Speaker 1: it becomes about self. The marketing of self. Making a
[1:41:49] Speaker 1: name for self. Now you are behaving like Nimrod. In
[1:41:52] Speaker 1: Genesis 11. Go to let us build a city. Whose
[1:41:56] Speaker 1: tower will reach the heavens. And let us make a
[1:41:59] Speaker 1: name for ourselves. Let me tell you my dear people.
[1:42:03] Speaker 1: you never spend your life exalting jesus and then becoming
[1:42:07] Speaker 1: an entity it's not true in lifting him you will
[1:42:11] Speaker 1: find out that you are lifted to for his sake
[1:42:15] Speaker 1: i've given this example remember during our retreat my focus
[1:42:19] Speaker 1: is the top of this pulpit but it's impossible to
[1:42:23] Speaker 1: focus here and not see here my bible is not
[1:42:26] Speaker 1: resting here however Because this is what is supporting this.
[1:42:31] Speaker 1: As I lift this, everything connected to it is lifted too.
[1:42:35] Speaker 1: You see how it happens? Glorify now thy son, that
[1:42:41] Speaker 1: thy son may glorify thee. So if God finds out
[1:42:44] Speaker 1: that he's deriving great glory from your life, what happens
[1:42:47] Speaker 1: is that he keeps lifting you for his namesake. Empowering
[1:42:52] Speaker 1: you for his namesake. Honoring you for his namesake. This
[1:42:56] Speaker 1: is what God does. So when you see the results
[1:43:01] Speaker 1: behind this ministry and what God is doing, I'm teaching
[1:43:04] Speaker 1: you this. For those who just came, for those who
[1:43:06] Speaker 1: are family here, let me tell you the truth. Learn
[1:43:09] Speaker 1: this as a principle. This is not about being humble.
[1:43:14] Speaker 1: It's about being wise. When you try to take God's
[1:43:18] Speaker 1: glory and let men see you, they will clap for you.
[1:43:22] Speaker 1: But that will be the last time. But when you
[1:43:26] Speaker 1: let men see him, they will clap for him And
[1:43:30] Speaker 1: it will be your joy to be the one lifting
[1:43:32] Speaker 1: him like a trophy. And that applause will continue and
[1:43:35] Speaker 1: remain for as long as you are there. It's a
[1:43:37] Speaker 1: wise up again. The state of your heart. Place your
[1:43:43] Speaker 1: hand on your chest. And say, purify my heart. Go ahead.
[1:43:48] Speaker 1: Pray in one minute. Purify my heart. Purify my conscience.
[1:43:55] Speaker 1: someone pray in one minute and for those who are
[1:43:58] Speaker 1: following across the globe falling on koinonia global go ahead
[1:44:02] Speaker 1: pray purify my heart the first hindrance to coming up
[1:44:10] Speaker 1: either is a disinterest towards god and spiritual things second
[1:44:16] Speaker 1: the state of your heart Hallelujah. See, many other things,
[1:44:21] Speaker 1: I'm not going into them, but things like pride and
[1:44:24] Speaker 1: so on and so forth, they are byproducts of a
[1:44:27] Speaker 1: corrupted heart. An arrival mentality. You see that? Our generation
[1:44:33] Speaker 1: is a proud generation. We have to trust God for grace.
[1:44:37] Speaker 1: To repent from pride is a cancer. It kills. Literally.
[1:44:43] Speaker 1: The moment you find yourself beating your chest, Or asking
[1:44:47] Speaker 1: other people to help you beat your chest. And say, wall,
[1:44:49] Speaker 1: you see it. It's still the same thing. Can a
[1:44:55] Speaker 1: man receive anything that God did not give? Can a
[1:44:59] Speaker 1: man heal any sick body without the power of God?
[1:45:03] Speaker 2: No.
[1:45:05] Speaker 1: The doctors tell you to swallow the tablets. And even
[1:45:08] Speaker 1: they cannot explain fully what happens after you swallow it.
[1:45:12] Speaker 1: That one is between your body and the Creator. No.
[1:45:16] Speaker 1: Because there are times the tablet can decide to fight you.
[1:45:20] Speaker 1: The tablet, you say, is not a living thing. It
[1:45:22] Speaker 1: can fight you. And it knows where to go in
[1:45:24] Speaker 1: your body and fight you till it kills you. So
[1:45:27] Speaker 1: at that point, it's not medicine and surgery. It's the
[1:45:31] Speaker 1: creator's help. Is someone listening? That prayer, purify my heart,
[1:45:36] Speaker 1: must remain your prayer even up until the evening. Let
[1:45:39] Speaker 1: me give you the last key and we're done. What
[1:45:42] Speaker 1: is the final hindrance? That stops men from rising higher.
[1:45:47] Speaker 1: Being used by God. Mighty in their generations. Lack of
[1:45:51] Speaker 1: proper mentorship. And guidance. Lack of proper mentorship. And guidance.
[1:45:59] Speaker 1: You want to listen to this before we pray. Lack
[1:46:02] Speaker 1: of proper mentorship. And guidance. Jeremiah chapter 6. Verse 16 says.
[1:46:09] Speaker 1: To stand in the old path. He says. He says.
[1:46:13] Speaker 1: The ancient part, it calls it 616 Jeremiah. It says,
[1:46:18] Speaker 1: stand ye in the ways and see and ask for
[1:46:21] Speaker 1: the old path. Where is the good way? And walk
[1:46:24] Speaker 1: therein and ye shall find rest for your souls. Please
[1:46:29] Speaker 1: look at me, believers. There is a path in the
[1:46:33] Speaker 1: spirit that leads to glory and leads to victory. There
[1:46:38] Speaker 1: is a path in the spirit that leads to mediocrity
[1:46:41] Speaker 1: and failure. Are we together now? No matter how desirous
[1:46:45] Speaker 1: you have a good heart, agreed. You have a passion
[1:46:50] Speaker 1: for the things of God, agreed. You will need to
[1:46:53] Speaker 1: be guided. There are many paths in the spirit that
[1:46:57] Speaker 1: lead men to glory. But until you are guided and helped,
[1:47:02] Speaker 1: if you are not helped, you may not get there.
[1:47:05] Speaker 1: There are many sincere people. I wrote something down here
[1:47:08] Speaker 1: and I want you to listen. You will reflect the
[1:47:11] Speaker 1: accuracy or the limitations of those you choose to follow.
[1:47:16] Speaker 1: You will reflect the accuracy or the limitations of those
[1:47:22] Speaker 1: you choose to follow. The implication of followership is that
[1:47:29] Speaker 1: you will eventually be a reflection. Of the accuracy or
[1:47:33] Speaker 1: the limitations. Is the reason why God is going to
[1:47:36] Speaker 1: judge teachers. Because when people place their trust on you.
[1:47:41] Speaker 1: And follow you believing you are following Christ. By the
[1:47:45] Speaker 1: time you manipulate, destroy, deceive them. The Bible, except you've
[1:47:49] Speaker 1: torn it from your Bible. The Bible tells us that
[1:47:52] Speaker 1: teachers will have a greater weight of judgment. Because influence
[1:47:56] Speaker 1: is a trust. When people trust you to alter their minds,
[1:48:01] Speaker 1: to shape their understanding, many of you will get up
[1:48:04] Speaker 1: and make destiny-defining decisions based on the truths you have
[1:48:08] Speaker 1: received now. And if I come here and lie to
[1:48:10] Speaker 1: you and manipulate you and deceive you, you see that now?
[1:48:14] Speaker 1: Look at the multiplier effect. You will teach what you
[1:48:17] Speaker 1: have learned now to someone, maybe your group. maybe some
[1:48:20] Speaker 1: children somewhere. That is the reason why as ministers of God,
[1:48:24] Speaker 1: we must stay with God and cry for his mercy
[1:48:27] Speaker 1: so that you don't bring things that destroy people. You
[1:48:30] Speaker 1: can learn the truth and quietly correct yourself, but you
[1:48:33] Speaker 1: would have led to a wide error. One truth that
[1:48:42] Speaker 1: is not communicated properly can bring a mass disaster. I mean,
[1:48:48] Speaker 1: it can impede your progress in the spirit. Hallelujah. In
[1:48:57] Speaker 1: Acts chapter 8 from verse 26, the Bible talks to
[1:49:00] Speaker 1: us about a eunuch, a utopian eunuch. He was on
[1:49:06] Speaker 1: his way And the Lord spoke to Philip, let's just
[1:49:10] Speaker 1: read it. Arise and go down to the south, unto
[1:49:13] Speaker 1: the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which
[1:49:16] Speaker 1: is desert. He says, and he arose and went and behold,
[1:49:21] Speaker 1: a man of utopia and eunuch of great authority under Candace,
[1:49:26] Speaker 1: queen of utopians, who had the charge of all her treasure.
[1:49:30] Speaker 1: This was a very serious man. And had come to
[1:49:32] Speaker 1: Jerusalem for to worship. Next verse. He was returning and
[1:49:37] Speaker 1: sitting in his chariot. He read the book of Isaiah.
[1:49:42] Speaker 1: Next verse. Then the spirit said unto him. Feel it now.
[1:49:46] Speaker 1: Go near. And joined that chariot. And Philip ran teeth
[1:49:52] Speaker 1: unto him. And heard him read the prophet Isaiah. And said.
[1:49:56] Speaker 1: Understandest what thou readest. That man was reading. What he
[1:50:00] Speaker 1: was reading was true. But he had no understanding. He said.
[1:50:06] Speaker 1: How can I, except some man, my goodness, how can I,
[1:50:11] Speaker 1: except some preacher, except some teacher, should guide me? The
[1:50:16] Speaker 1: Bible says, and he desired that he would come up
[1:50:20] Speaker 1: and sit with him. There are many people whose undoing
[1:50:25] Speaker 1: spiritually today was not a product of rebellion. They only
[1:50:29] Speaker 1: followed the wrong people. Their principles and practices they adopted
[1:50:33] Speaker 1: to their spiritual life And adopted a ministry. Their hearts
[1:50:38] Speaker 1: are sincere. But they only followed wrongly. They were wrongly mentored.
[1:50:43] Speaker 1: Into trivializing prayer. They were wrongly mentored. Into trivializing the word.
[1:50:48] Speaker 1: They were wrongly mentored. Into trivializing character. And integrity. And
[1:50:54] Speaker 1: moral excellence. They were wrongly mentored into trivializing relationships. Look
[1:50:59] Speaker 1: at me. They were wrongly mentored into trivializing growth and transformation.
[1:51:04] Speaker 1: They were wrongly mentored into trivializing wealth and abundance. They
[1:51:09] Speaker 1: were wrongly mentored into trivializing attacks from Satan. They were
[1:51:14] Speaker 1: wrongly mentored into trivializing the value of transformation. you will
[1:51:21] Speaker 1: become a reflection of the accuracy or the limitations of
[1:51:26] Speaker 1: who you choose to follow. In ministry, I've met many people,
[1:51:31] Speaker 1: great people, good people. I remember the earliest memories of
[1:51:35] Speaker 1: this was when we were in the northern parts now
[1:51:39] Speaker 1: in Zaria, Kaduna State, Nigeria. I remember a gentleman who came.
[1:51:42] Speaker 1: I was counseling. And he walked up to me, very
[1:51:44] Speaker 1: arrogant and confident. And I looked at him. I said, wow,
[1:51:48] Speaker 1: this is interesting. And I saw a spirit in a
[1:51:51] Speaker 1: vision now behind him, just standing. And then I'm looking
[1:51:54] Speaker 1: at this gentleman and he was explaining a few things.
[1:51:58] Speaker 1: He just said he came so that we would agree
[1:52:00] Speaker 1: and pray. And I looked at him. I was seeing
[1:52:03] Speaker 1: what was wrong with him. I was seeing a spirit
[1:52:05] Speaker 1: behind him. And then I politely tried to tell him,
[1:52:08] Speaker 1: my friend, look, I'm seeing something behind you. And he
[1:52:12] Speaker 1: shut me down immediately. No, no. Don't believe in those things.
[1:52:15] Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with you. I just came. I said,
[1:52:17] Speaker 1: how do I help this man now? This is me
[1:52:21] Speaker 1: watching this person like I'm watching a television. I'm seeing
[1:52:24] Speaker 1: what is wrong with him. I'm trying to help him.
[1:52:26] Speaker 1: And he's telling me, no, he just came so that
[1:52:28] Speaker 1: we'll agree. Anyway, I prayed for him. That gentleman woke
[1:52:33] Speaker 1: up like after 15 minutes. And for the next one week,
[1:52:37] Speaker 1: true story, he kept sending me text messages. I said,
[1:52:40] Speaker 1: what is wrong? You've rattled my theology, everything I've been taught.
[1:52:44] Speaker 1: I didn't believe this. Where do I start from now?
[1:52:48] Speaker 1: Because that is like canceling everything I believe. I said, no,
[1:52:50] Speaker 1: you don't have to cancel. Edit what you believe. Not
[1:52:53] Speaker 1: everything is wrong. But there are some things that are
[1:52:55] Speaker 1: nonsense in the world of the spirit. You see that?
[1:53:02] Speaker 1: What do you believe about God? What do you not
[1:53:05] Speaker 1: believe about God? What do you believe about Satan? What
[1:53:09] Speaker 1: do you believe about failure? What do you believe about growth?
[1:53:13] Speaker 1: What do you believe about prosperity? What do you believe
[1:53:15] Speaker 1: about poverty? What do you believe about success? Victory? What
[1:53:21] Speaker 1: do you believe about defeat? Listen carefully. What do you
[1:53:24] Speaker 1: believe about fasting? What do you believe about prayer? What
[1:53:28] Speaker 1: do you believe about consecration? What do you believe about increase?
[1:53:31] Speaker 1: It matters how you are mentored. When God wants to
[1:53:35] Speaker 1: help a man, after you encounter Jesus, he grants you
[1:53:39] Speaker 1: the opportunity to sit under the grace of a teaching
[1:53:43] Speaker 1: priest who loves Jesus, has accurate understanding of the word,
[1:53:47] Speaker 1: and loves you. Three things. He must love Jesus, he
[1:53:51] Speaker 1: must have accurate understanding of the word, and he must
[1:53:54] Speaker 1: love you. Because any of these three that goes wrong,
[1:53:57] Speaker 1: you are in trouble. If he does not love God,
[1:54:00] Speaker 1: even if he loves you, you are still in trouble.
[1:54:03] Speaker 1: You see that? Because he would download errors sincerely. The
[1:54:07] Speaker 1: source is wanting. If he loves God and he does
[1:54:11] Speaker 1: not love you, he will have, he will be cold-feated
[1:54:15] Speaker 1: towards getting the truth across to you. If he loves
[1:54:19] Speaker 1: God and he loves you, but does not have access
[1:54:21] Speaker 1: to the truth, he will be like a sincere driver
[1:54:24] Speaker 1: who says, enter the car, but I'm a learner. That's
[1:54:31] Speaker 1: not wickedness. That's ignorance. He just wants to help you.
[1:54:35] Speaker 1: Especially when you are carrying all your children. Say, you
[1:54:37] Speaker 1: and all your children come into the car. Your big
[1:54:42] Speaker 1: luxurious buses. He says, you just come in and be
[1:54:45] Speaker 1: very comfortable. You can even go to bed while I drive.
[1:54:47] Speaker 1: I'm learning, but I think I'm smart enough to navigate
[1:54:50] Speaker 1: through the roads. You see that? It takes more than
[1:54:53] Speaker 1: a good heart. It takes understanding. I have watched with humility.
[1:54:59] Speaker 1: sincere people being destroyed because of the demon of their
[1:55:02] Speaker 1: ignorance your ignorance is always higher than you you will
[1:55:09] Speaker 1: be a slave to ignorance until the day you cry
[1:55:12] Speaker 1: like the nation of israel i am tired and you
[1:55:15] Speaker 1: declare an exodus out of that pharaoh of ignorance you
[1:55:22] Speaker 1: are learning the things you are learning now Some of
[1:55:24] Speaker 1: you never knew that success can destroy as much as failure.
[1:55:28] Speaker 1: When Satan wants to bring failure to destroy you and
[1:55:31] Speaker 1: you reject it, he will bring success. The most important
[1:55:34] Speaker 1: thing is that he wants you destroyed. How is not
[1:55:36] Speaker 1: his business? There are many breakthroughs that did not come
[1:55:39] Speaker 1: from God. They were trapped by Satan because he knows
[1:55:43] Speaker 1: that you have not been trained to manage success. So
[1:55:45] Speaker 1: he will rush it to you and you will receive
[1:55:48] Speaker 1: it thinking it is breakthrough. And that becomes the reason
[1:55:50] Speaker 1: for your death. It is not only the cross that
[1:55:54] Speaker 1: can kill, a crown can kill too. There are many
[1:55:57] Speaker 1: kings that died from their throne. They didn't die on
[1:56:00] Speaker 1: the cross. Satan wants you to die, whether on the
[1:56:03] Speaker 1: cross or on the throne. The difference is purpose. The
[1:56:07] Speaker 1: one who dies on the cross dies towards getting to
[1:56:11] Speaker 1: the throne. The one who dies on the throne dies
[1:56:13] Speaker 1: because he's a fool. Herod died and immediately warms at him.
[1:56:18] Speaker 1: Nebuchadnezzar lifted up himself in pride and he became an
[1:56:21] Speaker 1: animal for years. But Jesus died on the cross. But
[1:56:24] Speaker 1: that became the passage. The new and living way. You
[1:56:28] Speaker 1: see that now? So as we wrap up this morning.
[1:56:31] Speaker 1: We have an evening session. And I must let you
[1:56:33] Speaker 1: rest now and prepare. This is a very. It's called
[1:56:37] Speaker 1: a prophetic convergence. All our discussion was verse 1. After this.
[1:56:46] Speaker 1: I look. That's all I've been saying. These four words.
[1:56:50] Speaker 1: After this. I looked. It is your responsibility to go
[1:56:54] Speaker 1: and find the these that has distracted you. Use this
[1:56:58] Speaker 1: opportunity before evening. For someone is after the business success.
[1:57:03] Speaker 1: I stopped looking. You have to repent. It's time to look.
[1:57:08] Speaker 1: After the ministerial strides. God is calling you. If you
[1:57:13] Speaker 1: want to get to this second realm. Chapter 1 has
[1:57:17] Speaker 1: happened to you. Chapter 2 has happened to you. Reminded
[1:57:21] Speaker 1: of Isaiah chapter 6 verse 1. Isaiah starts with a
[1:57:24] Speaker 1: powerful prophecy by a true prophet himself. But by the
[1:57:27] Speaker 1: time we get to chapter 6 and verse 1, he says,
[1:57:30] Speaker 1: In the year that King Uzziah died, what must die
[1:57:35] Speaker 1: for you to see? Because you see, this whole scripture
[1:57:38] Speaker 1: is about seeing again. After this, I looked for someone.
[1:57:44] Speaker 1: This will be your version. After it died, I saw.
[1:57:49] Speaker 1: After pride died. After lust died. After carelessness died. And
[1:57:54] Speaker 1: don't say it does not matter. If you want to last,
[1:57:59] Speaker 1: you have to pay attention to this. Are we together? This,
[1:58:03] Speaker 1: it does not matter, is a spirit of carelessness. It
[1:58:06] Speaker 1: destroys people. I don't pray, but it doesn't matter. I
[1:58:11] Speaker 1: don't fast but it doesn't matter. I don't love God.
[1:58:13] Speaker 1: I don't give. There are some of you who don't give.
[1:58:18] Speaker 1: You see. Giving is not the only key that makes
[1:58:22] Speaker 1: you prosperous. Your value, your understanding. But giving connects you
[1:58:26] Speaker 1: to the spiritual forces of That bring you the assistance.
[1:58:30] Speaker 1: I wish I had time. Is one thing. The power
[1:58:35] Speaker 1: to prosper. Has nothing to do with money. It is
[1:58:40] Speaker 1: the power that advances men. You cannot go forward if
[1:58:43] Speaker 1: you don't have it. You can have money. Without the
[1:58:46] Speaker 1: power to prosper. But it will never bless you. Because
[1:58:49] Speaker 1: wisdom brings wealth. But strength retains wealth. When it has
[1:58:55] Speaker 1: to do with retainership, it's not wisdom again. It's strength.
[1:58:59] Speaker 1: He says, strong men retain. That is why you can
[1:59:02] Speaker 1: get and you can leave. Hallelujah. Praise the name of
[1:59:08] Speaker 1: the Lord. Mentorship. This is what you are receiving right now.
[1:59:13] Speaker 1: For someone, you sacrificed the time you would have used
[1:59:16] Speaker 1: doing certain things. And you are sitting under disgrace. From
[1:59:20] Speaker 1: morning and even up until evening. You will be surprised
[1:59:23] Speaker 1: how many years you have redeemed. Just sitting here right now.
[1:59:28] Speaker 1: And I mean what I'm saying. How many years that
[1:59:34] Speaker 1: heaven is rejoicing. Because perhaps for someone you are the
[1:59:37] Speaker 1: only one in your family who has had an opportunity
[1:59:40] Speaker 1: to come this far with God. Now you are redeeming it.
[1:59:47] Speaker 1: Did the Bible not say walk circumspectly as wise and
[1:59:51] Speaker 1: not as unwise? It says redeeming the time. How do
[1:59:55] Speaker 1: you redeem the time? By knowing early what the will
[1:59:57] Speaker 1: of God is. Because when you know what the will
[2:00:00] Speaker 1: of God is, you will act in keeping with that will.
[2:00:03] Speaker 1: And you will redeem time. Confusion is one of the
[2:00:06] Speaker 1: ways that Satan... aborts the value of time in your life.
[2:00:11] Speaker 1: It keeps you moving left and right while time goes.
[2:00:14] Speaker 1: That's why when God shows up, he brings both restoration
[2:00:17] Speaker 1: and speed. These are the two ways God corrects issues
[2:00:21] Speaker 1: of time. Because if you lose money, you can get
[2:00:24] Speaker 1: it back if you have time. But if you don't
[2:00:29] Speaker 1: have time, even if you have wisdom, you cannot use it.
[2:00:33] Speaker 1: The value of everything you receive is that you have
[2:00:36] Speaker 1: enough time to execute it. A dying man does not
[2:00:39] Speaker 1: pray for wisdom. A dying man does not pray for favor.
[2:00:43] Speaker 1: A dying man does not pray for connections. He prays
[2:00:46] Speaker 1: for time. As Hezekiah. Because every other thing finds its
[2:00:50] Speaker 1: value when there is time. So God brought this prophetic
[2:00:55] Speaker 1: convergence because for some of you, you have wasted 30
[2:00:57] Speaker 1: years already. 40 years already. 50 years already. And if
[2:01:03] Speaker 1: you keep going the way you are going, you are
[2:01:05] Speaker 1: about to add another 10 years. And God has come
[2:01:08] Speaker 1: by his mercy. That something needs to be done. Need
[2:01:11] Speaker 1: to retain time. Some of you, by God's prophetic blueprint,
[2:01:15] Speaker 1: you would have been a prophet by now. But because
[2:01:19] Speaker 1: from the time you got born again, you did not
[2:01:21] Speaker 1: have the privilege of quality mentorship. And you kept listening
[2:01:25] Speaker 1: to a lot of nonsense. You've been going around. Now
[2:01:28] Speaker 1: you found out that you thought you were moving forward.
[2:01:30] Speaker 1: But in the presence of higher light, you found out
[2:01:33] Speaker 1: you've just been roaming around the same room. You've not
[2:01:35] Speaker 1: even gone out of the room for 10 years. But
[2:01:38] Speaker 1: not to worry. This is why he gives speed. This
[2:01:41] Speaker 1: is why he restores. In your name I come alive To.
[2:01:52] Speaker 5: Declare your victory The resurrected king Is resurrecting me In
[2:02:00] Speaker 5: your name I come alive To declare your victory The
[2:02:07] Speaker 5: resurrected king Is resurrecting.
[2:02:11] Speaker 1: Me By your spirit I will rise From the ashes
[2:02:17] Speaker 1: of defeat.
[2:02:18] Speaker 7: The resurrected king is resurrecting me.
[2:02:24] Speaker 1: Did you hear what I was singing now? It may
[2:02:27] Speaker 1: be a special number for you, but I'm not a musician.
[2:02:32] Speaker 1: I'm pounding something into your spirit, man. By your spirit,
[2:02:38] Speaker 1: I will rise from the ashes of defeat.
[2:02:43] Speaker 2: The resurrected king.
[2:02:53] Speaker 8: Ah, rejoice not over me, my enemy.
[2:03:04] Speaker 2: Time may have.
[2:03:05] Speaker 1: Gone, but I'm in the presence of the resurrection and
[2:03:08] Speaker 1: the life. Is someone ready to pray? Please rise up
[2:03:12] Speaker 1: on your feet.
[2:03:14] Speaker 3: By your spirit i will rise from.
[2:03:17] Speaker 2: The ashes of this peace.
[2:03:20] Speaker 7: The resurrected king is resurrecting me in your name i
[2:03:27] Speaker 7: come alive to declare your victory the resurrected one more
[2:03:36] Speaker 7: time by.
[2:03:37] Speaker 4: Your spirit i will rise from the ashes.
[2:03:43] Speaker 7: The resurrected King is resurrecting me.
[2:03:49] Speaker 1: In your name I come alive.
[2:03:52] Speaker 2: To declare your name to me.
[2:03:55] Speaker 7: The resurrected King is resurrecting me.
[2:04:01] Speaker 1: We're about to pray. Seeing then that we are surrounded
[2:04:05] Speaker 1: by so great a cloud of witnesses, the Bible says,
[2:04:08] Speaker 1: let us lay aside every weight and the sin that
[2:04:12] Speaker 1: doth easily beset us, and to run with perseverance the
[2:04:16] Speaker 1: race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus. The
[2:04:19] Speaker 1: Bible calls him the author and the finisher of our faith.
[2:04:23] Speaker 1: Who for the joy, here it is, for the joy
[2:04:26] Speaker 1: that was set before him, he endured the cross and
[2:04:30] Speaker 1: despised the shame. Someone open your mouth and begin to pray.
[2:04:34] Speaker 1: The grace to look and to keep looking. Looking beyond success.
[2:04:39] Speaker 1: Looking beyond failures. You may be a champion but still look.
[2:04:44] Speaker 1: It is only those who look that live. It is
[2:04:47] Speaker 1: only those who look that live. I'd like you to pray.
[2:04:50] Speaker 1: Let it be from the depth of your heart.
[2:04:53] Speaker 9: Every distraction, every impediment to my rising in the spirit.
[2:04:59] Speaker 9: I come against it in the name of Jesus. complacency
[2:05:05] Speaker 9: that has come as a result of my achievements— ministerial achievements.
[2:05:10] Speaker 1: Financial achievements, career.
[2:05:13] Speaker 9: Achievements, family achievements— in.
[2:05:16] Speaker 2: The name of Jesus.
[2:05:17] Speaker 1: After this, I still look. After this, I still look.
[2:05:23] Speaker 1: After this, I still look. I look in prayer. I
[2:05:28] Speaker 1: look in fasting. I look in the Word. I look
[2:05:32] Speaker 1: through consecration. After this, I look. Someone pray. In spite
[2:05:45] Speaker 1: of the healing anointing, I still pray. I still fast
[2:05:51] Speaker 1: in spite of the commendations. I will still strive to
[2:05:55] Speaker 1: know Him more, to love Him more, to live for Him. Hallelujah.
[2:06:10] Speaker 1: We're wrapping up. After these things, I looked. After these crowns,
[2:06:22] Speaker 1: after these challenges for someone, it doesn't matter what the
[2:06:26] Speaker 1: this is, good or bad. If you have looked at
[2:06:31] Speaker 1: it for a while, take your eyes away from it.
[2:06:34] Speaker 1: Come up hither starts with looking hither. There is a
[2:06:39] Speaker 1: higher realm. I've operated the prophetic, but there is a
[2:06:42] Speaker 1: higher realm. I've operated the apostolic office, but there is
[2:06:45] Speaker 1: a higher realm. God has blessed me financially, but there
[2:06:49] Speaker 1: is a higher realm. God has helped my children, but
[2:06:51] Speaker 1: there is a higher realm. Someone who desires more. Cry
[2:06:55] Speaker 1: the last prayer for this morning. More. More. More. More. More.
[2:07:03] Speaker 1: more fire more grace someone pray greater appetite for spiritual
[2:07:10] Speaker 1: things loving him more than my necessary food go ahead
[2:07:17] Speaker 1: and pray.
[2:07:19] Speaker 2: The more i know you.
[2:07:23] Speaker 1: The more i want to know you jesus.
[2:07:32] Speaker 5: The more I know you, the more I want to
[2:07:37] Speaker 5: know you.
[2:07:38] Speaker 3: Jesus, more of you.
[2:07:45] Speaker 2: The more I see you, the more I.
[2:07:49] Speaker 1: Want to see you. Jesus, more of you.
[2:07:57] Speaker 2: Jesus, more of you.
[2:08:00] Speaker 1: More of you. Help her.
[2:08:05] Speaker 2: More of you. Redeemer.
[2:08:10] Speaker 1: More of you. Savior.
[2:08:17] Speaker 2: More of you.
[2:08:22] Speaker 1: The more I know you. The more I want to
[2:08:26] Speaker 1: know you. Jesus.
[2:08:30] Speaker 3: More of you.
[2:08:36] Speaker 1: In Jesus name we pray. In Jesus mighty name we pray.
[2:08:46] Speaker 1: While standing let me just do two things. I just
[2:08:48] Speaker 1: want to give a word about Jesus. Tonight. And then.
[2:08:53] Speaker 1: Just one more instruction. And then we'll have. The altar call.
[2:08:57] Speaker 1: And then we're done. Hallelujah. Tonight. Will be. Our final.
[2:09:04] Speaker 1: General session. I'll be taking. The other parts. And. We're
[2:09:09] Speaker 1: trusting God. To be. A time. Where we experience. The
[2:09:13] Speaker 1: move of the spirit. Tonight. Be praying for the sick.
[2:09:16] Speaker 1: Will be ministering. To us. Let me request. Everyone. Get
[2:09:21] Speaker 1: the prayer requests. Of everyone you know. And then yours too.
[2:09:27] Speaker 1: Come by faith. Horses please take note. So that when
[2:09:31] Speaker 1: we come. We'll be able to receive this at a
[2:09:33] Speaker 1: point in the service. I believe in the ministry of intercession.
[2:09:37] Speaker 1: We're going to be praying over our request. You've heard
[2:09:39] Speaker 1: the testimonies that have come. And for those who are
[2:09:42] Speaker 1: connecting across the globe. Um. We'll start five. Let's make
[2:09:47] Speaker 1: it five UK time. On the dot. Um. So that
[2:09:51] Speaker 1: we'll be able to cover much. Praise the name of
[2:09:54] Speaker 1: the Lord. We'll just have, once we come in, we'll
[2:09:56] Speaker 1: go straight to the point. Cut a lot of things
[2:09:59] Speaker 1: so that we can have time. We'll just minister. And
[2:10:03] Speaker 1: then we'll have Sinach come bless us. And then afterwards. Hallelujah.
[2:10:09] Speaker 1: Once that happens, we'll get straight to the word. And
[2:10:14] Speaker 1: we're trusting God to have a glorious time. This evening
[2:10:19] Speaker 1: by the grace of God. Make sure you come with
[2:10:22] Speaker 1: your heart opened. Hallelujah. Now. I know that there are
[2:10:27] Speaker 1: so many people. Please, PR, let's find out. I don't
[2:10:30] Speaker 1: want any space whatsoever. No chair should be empty while
[2:10:35] Speaker 1: there are so many people who had to stop. Literally
[2:10:37] Speaker 1: so many people. So if there are still more spaces,
[2:10:40] Speaker 1: I'm sure that most people maybe were at work or so.
[2:10:43] Speaker 1: If there's any room, then we'll open more. If there
[2:10:46] Speaker 1: are people who we left outside, please don't feel offended.
[2:10:49] Speaker 1: We had to limit everything because if we open and
[2:10:52] Speaker 1: announce everything, Even if we use a stadium, it will
[2:10:55] Speaker 1: not be enough. But the point is, I want you
[2:10:58] Speaker 1: to come with your heart hungry, ready to receive. Hallelujah.
[2:11:03] Speaker 1: We've introduced this come up here. There's something else I
[2:11:06] Speaker 1: want to show you tonight. And we trust God for
[2:11:08] Speaker 1: a mighty move of the Spirit. And for all your
[2:11:12] Speaker 1: loved ones who are trusting God for any kind of miracle,
[2:11:15] Speaker 1: I want you to release your faith with them in
[2:11:18] Speaker 1: the name of Jesus Christ. For all our precious walkers,
[2:11:22] Speaker 1: thank you so much. um hallelujah praise the name of
[2:11:28] Speaker 1: the lord now because most most of our workers i'm
[2:11:32] Speaker 1: sure that um you would be communicated because most of
[2:11:36] Speaker 1: the workers have been walking around some right from yesterday
[2:11:40] Speaker 1: and whilst others are going to take a break most
[2:11:42] Speaker 1: of the workers are still around up until evening is
[2:11:45] Speaker 1: usually a stretch for them um we've we've made um
[2:11:51] Speaker 1: arrangement for food for the workers so please make sure
[2:11:55] Speaker 1: that I'm sure that the leaders will direct perhaps when
[2:12:01] Speaker 1: I'm done if they need any direction please workers listen
[2:12:04] Speaker 1: carefully so that you have it we love everybody don't
[2:12:07] Speaker 1: worry if you're not a worker just know that I
[2:12:10] Speaker 1: Joshua Selman on behalf of Jesus the son of the
[2:12:13] Speaker 1: living God that I love you with all my heart
[2:12:17] Speaker 1: hallelujah We'll also take some time. There are a few
[2:12:23] Speaker 1: people we're expecting in the evening. We'll take the time
[2:12:25] Speaker 1: to just acknowledge people more intentionally. I didn't want us
[2:12:29] Speaker 1: to stretch beyond this morning. Then hopefully by evening, I
[2:12:36] Speaker 1: would say another word over the sound of revival. I
[2:12:39] Speaker 1: know that the hall can only take so much people.
[2:12:43] Speaker 1: The first direct arena can only take 12,000 and it's
[2:12:47] Speaker 1: exhausted completely. So we've been trying to work around. I
[2:12:52] Speaker 1: know some of you, the workers, you don't even have,
[2:12:54] Speaker 1: you've not got any place. Please just be patient. We're
[2:12:57] Speaker 1: seeing what we can do. If it means getting another hall,
[2:13:01] Speaker 1: that's what we did in Canada. All the halls for U.S., Canada, U.K.,
[2:13:08] Speaker 1: it's all filled up. In fact, we filled up days.
[2:13:12] Speaker 1: So right now, for Canada, we're fortunate enough to have And,
[2:13:16] Speaker 1: you know, there's an overflow attached to it. So we've
[2:13:18] Speaker 1: been able to get an overflow for 5,000 more people.
[2:13:22] Speaker 1: But for this other place, we're trusting God. So just
[2:13:25] Speaker 1: pray with us and please be patient. It's not intentional.
[2:13:29] Speaker 1: You know that once you hold meetings like this, it
[2:13:32] Speaker 1: just goes to tell you how hungry people are for God.
[2:13:35] Speaker 1: Are we together? So we'll do our best, particularly for
[2:13:39] Speaker 1: some of you who are here and, you know, you've
[2:13:42] Speaker 1: been wanting to register to become part of the workforce
[2:13:45] Speaker 1: or part of those who attend on site, please just
[2:13:50] Speaker 1: give us some time. We're really working, trying to put
[2:13:53] Speaker 1: all the factors we can put together. And we're having
[2:13:57] Speaker 1: many options on the table, including visiting multiple cities if
[2:14:01] Speaker 1: need be. I hope, who knows, maybe God will answer
[2:14:04] Speaker 1: your prayer and we'll come to a city. Amen. Praise
[2:14:09] Speaker 1: the name of the Lord. Have you been blessed? You
[2:14:13] Speaker 1: need Jesus. Let me make an altar call. I don't
[2:14:16] Speaker 1: take for granted any opportunity that makes for the gathering
[2:14:20] Speaker 1: of God's people. I believe with all my heart that
[2:14:23] Speaker 1: someone who came here this morning, you are in this
[2:14:26] Speaker 1: place right now. And whilst you heard me speak, particularly
[2:14:30] Speaker 1: when I began to speak about the disinterest for spiritual things,
[2:14:35] Speaker 1: the Holy Ghost began to convict you. If that is you,
[2:14:39] Speaker 1: you are saying, Apostle, do not end this session here.
[2:14:41] Speaker 1: The morning without giving me a chance. To know Jesus.
[2:14:45] Speaker 1: To love him. And then to serve him. Or perhaps
[2:14:48] Speaker 1: you are born again. But you have not been serious
[2:14:50] Speaker 1: with God. And you are saying I want to rededicate
[2:14:53] Speaker 1: my life to Jesus. I am going to make five counts.
[2:14:56] Speaker 1: One to five. Wherever you are. Very boldly. Unashamedly so.
[2:15:01] Speaker 1: I want you to leave your seat. And come and
[2:15:03] Speaker 1: stand right before me here. When I count five. I
[2:15:07] Speaker 1: will begin the prayer. Don't wait for anyone to be
[2:15:10] Speaker 1: the first. Very boldly come and stand. I begin my
[2:15:15] Speaker 1: counting now. One. Is there someone coming? Two. Come. Koinonia
[2:15:27] Speaker 1: give them a big God bless you. Three. Win that
[2:15:34] Speaker 1: war finally once and for all. I want to make
[2:15:38] Speaker 1: it right with Jesus. The Bible says, as many who
[2:15:45] Speaker 1: will come to him, he will not twice cast away. No,
[2:15:48] Speaker 1: we do not condemn you. It doesn't matter what you
[2:15:50] Speaker 1: have done or what you have not done. Please come.
[2:15:53] Speaker 1: Jesus is willing to give you a new beginning. Young, old, male, female, come.
[2:15:58] Speaker 1: And for those who are watching by television, those who
[2:16:00] Speaker 1: are connecting from across the globe, here's your chance to
[2:16:04] Speaker 1: make Jesus Lord of your life. As I pray over
[2:16:07] Speaker 1: these ones, I want you to connect by faith. And
[2:16:10] Speaker 1: this can be a new day for you. This can
[2:16:13] Speaker 1: be the beginning of your best days. All of you
[2:16:16] Speaker 1: in front, thank you very much. You'll be given a
[2:16:18] Speaker 1: card by the counselors. Please, I want you to hold
[2:16:21] Speaker 1: that card. And after the prayer, you'll be requested to
[2:16:24] Speaker 1: fill it. Legitimately, you will have a few people. The
[2:16:27] Speaker 1: counselors will be having a word with you shortly. I
[2:16:29] Speaker 1: want to thank you for this bold decision. Thank you.
[2:16:33] Speaker 1: I see so many people, parents coming even with their children.
[2:16:37] Speaker 1: Thank you very, very much. I'd like you to say
[2:16:39] Speaker 1: this after me as loud and as clear as you can. Say,
[2:16:42] Speaker 1: Lord Jesus. One more time, say, Lord Jesus. I have
[2:16:47] Speaker 1: heard your word. I love you with all my heart.
[2:16:53] Speaker 1: I believe that you died for my sin. I believe
[2:16:58] Speaker 1: that you rose again for my justification. Right now, I
[2:17:04] Speaker 1: receive Jesus into my heart. As my Lord, my Savior,
[2:17:11] Speaker 1: and my King, I declare that the power of sin, Satan, hell,
[2:17:20] Speaker 1: and the grave is destroyed. I am a child of God.
[2:17:26] Speaker 1: I go forward ever and backward never. Amen. Amen. Let
[2:17:31] Speaker 1: me pray for you. Father, I speak over your precious people.
[2:17:34] Speaker 1: I love them with all my heart. And I decree
[2:17:36] Speaker 1: and declare based on the authority of scripture, your sins
[2:17:39] Speaker 1: are forgiven. I call you bona fide recipients of the
[2:17:43] Speaker 1: life of God. And I declare that from tonight you
[2:17:46] Speaker 1: go forward ever and backward never. name. Amen. Now all
[2:17:53] Speaker 1: of you please I want you to look at me.
[2:17:55] Speaker 1: May I please request that you move this way. You
[2:17:57] Speaker 1: see the counselors waving the placard. All of you in
[2:17:59] Speaker 1: concerts they will have a word with you just for
[2:18:01] Speaker 1: a minute or two and then you're back. Let's honor
[2:18:04] Speaker 1: them as they go. Keep clapping. Let's honor them as
[2:18:15] Speaker 1: they go. Hallelujah. Praise the Lord. So for one last time.
[2:18:28] Speaker 1: It starts by, let me advise you, from 4.30 you
[2:18:31] Speaker 1: should be here. Let's do our best to start 5
[2:18:33] Speaker 1: on the dot. Koinonia Global, 5 on the dot. We're here,
[2:18:37] Speaker 1: so by 4.45 I think the media will be ready.
[2:18:40] Speaker 1: And then 5 on the dot, we get straight to
[2:18:43] Speaker 1: the point so that we'll have enough time to do much.
[2:18:45] Speaker 1: This is the last and final session. And then the workers,
[2:18:49] Speaker 1: remember that we have workers only meeting on to life.
[2:18:53] Speaker 1: You are able to sort that, and then you step
[2:18:56] Speaker 1: into your rest. You believe that? So that's my encouragement.
[2:19:00] Speaker 1: And that also includes our global family. Our global family
[2:19:03] Speaker 1: is following. All the other account details are there, even
[2:19:06] Speaker 1: if you're not able to pay to our UK account.
[2:19:09] Speaker 1: You know, the other account expression, U.S., your account is there. U.K.,
[2:19:14] Speaker 1: your account is there. And then, of course, back home, everything,
[2:19:18] Speaker 1: the details are there. You already have it. I don't
[2:19:20] Speaker 1: like to talk about money. People overpound about money. Once
[2:19:24] Speaker 1: you train believers well, if they are well trained, They
[2:19:28] Speaker 1: know that giving is part and parcel of the believer's life.
[2:19:32] Speaker 1: Give us individuals. Give us your cooperation. But make sure
[2:19:36] Speaker 1: you do it in love. One of my dear sons
[2:19:39] Speaker 1: will say, The size of your seed matters, but the motivation,
[2:19:43] Speaker 1: the motif behind it is of greater essence. And so
[2:19:48] Speaker 1: please make sure you don't frown. No, no, no, no, no.
[2:19:52] Speaker 1: If you don't have a revelation, no problem. You will
[2:19:54] Speaker 1: not go to hell. You sit down. The day you learn,
[2:19:57] Speaker 1: you can give. Praise the name of the Lord. But
[2:20:00] Speaker 1: I want you to know that God is in the
[2:20:02] Speaker 1: business of lifting people. It's a prophetic convergence. And for
[2:20:06] Speaker 1: all who have come, Apostle Ryo, me, Reverend Akilah, Pastor Petrock,
[2:20:13] Speaker 1: and every other man of God who are here. We
[2:20:15] Speaker 1: did not recognize you. Please, my apologies. I'm sure that
[2:20:18] Speaker 1: we'll have a concise list by evening and we'll give
[2:20:23] Speaker 1: honor where a house of honor and we'll not trivialize
[2:20:26] Speaker 1: any grace that is found and represented here. Thank you
[2:20:29] Speaker 1: very much. Please rise. Any announcements? Okay. Oh, I should
[2:20:37] Speaker 1: just step back. I think I'll just step back and
[2:20:39] Speaker 1: allow you Okay. All right. Thank you so much, Daddy.
[2:20:53] Speaker 1: Thank you. So just two announcements.
[2:20:56] Speaker 10: Number one is representatives from each department will be required
[2:21:00] Speaker 10: to collect the foods that the house have for hosts.
[2:21:03] Speaker 10: So it will be given through a specific facilitator.
[2:21:07] Speaker 1: And then number two is....
[2:21:11] Speaker 10: We will be required to all go out at some
[2:21:14] Speaker 10: point to check out so that we can check in
[2:21:17] Speaker 10: again properly for the second session.
[2:21:20] Speaker 1: It's going to be an overflow, so we want.
[2:21:22] Speaker 10: To ensure that everybody legitimately registered is issued their seats
[2:21:27] Speaker 10: first before other persons.
[2:21:30] Speaker 1: Yes, thank you so much. Thank you. Let me add, please,
[2:21:35] Speaker 1: no eating in the hall. Let me plead that when
[2:21:38] Speaker 1: you collect your meals, just sit once you have your
[2:21:41] Speaker 1: meals for the workers. Those who are not workers, I'm
[2:21:44] Speaker 1: sure most people already would just sit, pray, just hang around,
[2:21:48] Speaker 1: grab a meal, and then be around. Please cooperate with
[2:21:51] Speaker 1: our PR people. They'll be as loving, as excellent as possible. Please,
[2:21:55] Speaker 1: let's work early enough so that we're checking people early
[2:21:58] Speaker 1: so that they don't have to... Be waiting outside. They
[2:22:02] Speaker 1: can come in and pray. You can give them worship.
[2:22:04] Speaker 1: The media can give them worship. You can play a message.
[2:22:07] Speaker 1: Something that edifies their spirits. So that we don't waste
[2:22:12] Speaker 1: their time. So make sure that. Once you collect your meal.
[2:22:16] Speaker 1: Please let me request. No throwing of papers. no throwing
[2:22:20] Speaker 1: of bottles of water, bottles of drinks. We're irresponsible people,
[2:22:25] Speaker 1: and we shouldn't do that to litter the church. You
[2:22:27] Speaker 1: may do well. I'm sure that there are authorized places
[2:22:30] Speaker 1: outside where you'll be allowed to go and eat. Let
[2:22:34] Speaker 1: me plead with you to please cooperate with us on
[2:22:35] Speaker 1: this wise so that we do not litter the church
[2:22:38] Speaker 1: and then make the work difficult for ushers again and
[2:22:41] Speaker 1: our aesthetics people. Have you been blessed? Father, thank you.
[2:22:45] Speaker 1: We bless you and we honor you. We pray that...
[2:22:50] Speaker 1: That which we have heard this morning, this afternoon, will
[2:22:54] Speaker 1: remain in our spirits. It will swell us for higher
[2:22:57] Speaker 1: levels in the spirit. And Lord, as we converge in
[2:23:00] Speaker 1: a few hours, we pray by the power of the
[2:23:03] Speaker 1: Holy Spirit that you will be glorified in our lives.
[2:23:06] Speaker 1: Let your glory rest upon us in higher levels. And
[2:23:10] Speaker 1: to Jesus we owe the praise. Let's share the grace together.
[2:23:14] Speaker 1: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. The sweet fellowship
[2:23:18] Speaker 1: of the Holy Spirit. Rest and abide with us now
[2:23:21] Speaker 1: and forevermore. Amen. Surely. All the days of our lives.
