Welcome to Track. #4 of who is he that overcomes the world? Kappa Baba. Rada, GABA, Samaya, baby come my young baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby. Thank you Lord, in Jesus name we pray. Amen. You may be seated. Who is he that overcomes the world? Who who is going to overcome the world, right? I believe that we've had a very powerful session this morning and I want us to take our notes and go through the notes. And I believe that as we prepare our hearts for the second session is going to be even more powerful. Amen. But it is very important to to know that as you are here, there is something to overcome, Amen. Something to overcome. And that is the world. And one of the very powerful statements Bishop made was that the, the, the, the enemy, that is the world whose our enemy is not clear to see, Amen. That is why being at a camp like this is a great blessing, because you will be helped to see Amen. Even the analysis of the three dimensions of this enemy is powerful. Amen. Because many of you want to talk of the world, you think of smoking, you know, abortion, fornication, drinking and so on. But the turn has now entered into Wilder dimensions. And I believe that you see it is good to to have a very broad understanding of the enemy you are dealing with. So that's statement you made that know your enemy and know yourself and in what 100 battles you know what you what you will not be in what I can't hear you well, danger say say danger. So let's say it again. Know your know yourself, know your enemy and know yourself. And in the 100 you will not be in danger. Amen. So the, the, the, the most important thing to do is to know the enemy. Of course, some of us don't even know ourselves, but I'm I'm sure that you are going to know yourself at this camp. Otherwise you will walk into danger with with your headlights on. How your blood is boiling, how your mind is working, your former behavior that is repeating itself. You will just walk into danger with your headlights on. Amen. But this first session was to help us to know the enemy. Amen. And the enemy is the world, and it's not easy to see. And the world Bishop is using nebulous, which means what? Vague. And you must accept it. It is important to accept it that the, the, the enemy you are dealing with may not be as clearly defined as you may think. Some people, some places, some behaviours. Is this coming from me here? Sorry, I doubt it. I don't have any, you know, work on all these sounds because they, they, they, they really distract the meeting. I don't know where it's coming from. Is it from here? You are speaking English to me, so we should expect it, right? Right. So. So the enemy is not clearly defined. And the three aspects of the world we learned this morning was what? Where the first is what? Not even before the wild place. It's a place, yeah. The world is a place. You must overcome a place. And then we, we, we see that, oh, it's even a wild place because sometimes what you think is wild may not appear as wild. It may be very nice. Some of you the, the, the, the room you must overcome doesn't look wild. It's an air conditioning room with nice curtains. But it's a place you must overcome. Amen. Certain things don't happen everywhere. Certain behaviors, attitudes will not happen everywhere. And every one of us here must identify the place that you must overcome. Like what? Ladies first what what? What type of place must you overcome personally? Not your uncle, not your cousin, yourself. Certain cars and when you drive them they are very fast. Or what speak I need? I need insight certain class. Entering into certain people's cars. Why? Why certain people's cars? Is it because of the speed? The atmosphere. In. Certain peoples cars. Not not your friends car, but some of them certain peoples cars what what type of atmospheres are in the car? And for example, you know that when you enter a certain air conditioned car with a certain kind of music, certain things can happen. Certain certain air conditioning car with certain people will lead to certain things. How many of you can identify with what she's saying? Yeah, it's a place. Some of you have done very bad things in cars, on a moving vehicle and somewhere there are movements in the car. We all know a car or something that moves, not knowing that there are movements within the movement. Yeah, because some guys, they share their room with their brothers. So the only the only venue is a car. May God deliver you from a car. And practically, I mean if you are a lady must not end. You shouldn't easily jump into cars or take me to where left left before you know you are being lifted high. But the only thing we must lift up is the name of Jesus. The only thing you are allowed to lift is the name of Jesus. So be careful of a guy who will lift you to a place before you know he's lifting your buttocks. Say Lord have mercy, so overcome it. I will prefer, my darling, that you walk. And some of you, you feel too big to take torture. The way I see you, you, I feel that you are not the type who must take a go for bars. You know, you are begging me. So it's very important. It's very important. So God bless you. What's your name? Mina. Mina, Yeah. So Mina has brought us a very powerful revelation of a place we must overcome. Wow, another place you must overcome, say. Personally I I think I need to overcome my room because. Your room. Yes, because my. Room is so. Comfortable that I can't often pray enough in a lot in my room. Clap your hand for the Crusade brother. He's the Crusade brother. He's the Crusade brother, so yours is. The room is very comfortable. Yes, please. Your room in the hostel or in the house or your room is at home. So you must overcome that comfortable environment by what? Stepping out to go and pray? Wow, may you go to heaven early. The world, the world is a disturbance to you. Yes, you. So he is overcoming a room but should not help him to pray. Hey. Personally, I feel atmospheres like gathering of unbelievers. She'll. Overcome gathering of unbelievers. A place. Wow, I remember recently I was working with a friend and there were music. People had stopped. In the middle of the road and they were playing music and the women were dancing half naked. And I told my friend that I mean, it is really difficult to. They to they. Concentrate in certain kind of. Athos, you have looked at them now you have forgotten your name. So after looking, he said we should move away. I mean, he's he's given a certain understanding that I'm I've even been blessed by. And that is a place where unbelievers gather. You see that place, It's a place, it's a type of place you must overcome. And sometimes the the the default behaviour is to appear sociable and also, you know, not being some way and to Kolo and they so that that sit around, enjoy the music with them. But you must have the ability to move away from such a place. And it's not easy. It's not easy, you know, And that is why the word is to overcome. It's not easy to overcome. That word suggests the use of energy, strength, determination, force. But you can't overcome. You can't overcome so. So someone talks about the seat of the scornful, the way of sinners, places where unbelievers gather. Do we have such places on campus? We have them UST. Do we have them in UST? Do we have them in Lagos where they gather? UPSU. PS: On oh, the, the university UPS. Yeah, don't be there. Amen. Don't be there. Don't, don't think that you are very strong and very anointed and very powerful. You can mingle with them and come out safe. You'll be amazed at what happened. And the Bible actually does not allow us to be in such places. You, you, let us even say that you are Tarzan or Samsung. You, you can call yourself by any name. What we are saying is that don't be there. Don't be there. Why? Because evil communication corrupts good manners. So. So I mean, I would have thought that it is good manners that will overcome or change evil communication. But the Bible says that people communication would rather do what corrupt your good money. So you be in your room with your Bible knowledge and with your scriptures and with with your tongues. If you yeah, if you think you are strong and you are an elder, you are into, I mean, go into nightclubs to do evangelism. There is a, there is a bikini pool party and that's where you want to go and share tracks and so on You go before you know you are also wearing bikini as a man, you know. So, so it is a place listen, listen, come out what God has for you, the ministry ahead of you. It's a it's a great life and you cannot meddle with such things. Don't go there. You see that they are, they have guarded, they are playing unbelievable music. Don't go there. Don't seek their acceptance. Do you see? Move away, find yourself in your room, visit your friend, go and pray somewhere and you can visit him. Who's the one who was praying? He's into prayers. So. So that is powerful. Yes. Two more. The lady. Yes. You give me a wave. Give me a the one in front of you. An example of a place. Because the world overcoming the world is a place. Yeah, apart from the fact that the whole world is a place to overcome, there are places also that represent the world like another place that. I think that I need. To. Personally overcome. That's a good way of answering the question. Yes, answer please. Is the the? Gathering of. Friends that do not. Add any I. Mean value. To my life. Let's stop speaking English and what value you yes answer give us a place. What? What value? Want to add value? What value? Yes, a place. A place like being a student, a place like a hostel, maybe a hostel you are going to accumulate yourself. Maybe, let's say a hostel are. You hungry? Did you eat? Get a microphone for him. Yeah. You. Yes, you. Yes. You answer So so listen. Keep quiet. So a place you must overcome. It's a hostel because it's a hostel where you are going to get accommodation. It's a hostel and when you go to the hostel, it's a hostel. OK, OK. I think not. You. Yes, the lady. So, well, I think a place I have to overcome a hotel. Hotel. Very good. It's a practical sister. Clap your hands on the practical. So what about a hotel? So his is hostel and yours is hotel. So what is it about the hotel? OK, where are you going? To a hotel, the atmosphere, what kind of men you see there come. On what kind of men you see there? Keep quiet. Where's the water? All right. Like businessmen, politicians, they come there a lot. Expatriates, they come there. Businessmen, politicians, expatriates. You have a list. You have a very good list. Businessmen, politicians. Who who gave you this list? Clap your answer. She has a very powerful list. This could be a great list. You want to add some more businessmen, politicians or there should be some more expatriates. What? Musicians? Musicians. Football. Actors who? Actors. Not really actors. Actors. Actors, yes. Home stars. Not, not, not our home stars and footballers. So if you go there, what will happen? What? Why is it a bad place? When you go there, say, young lady, you might be tempted. I see. Maybe you just start to go there and just sit down and have a drink. Anybody can walk up to you and tell you something. Or you might be tempted to walk up to. Them baby. So sometimes they will not walk up to you, but you may walk up to them. When you walk up to them, what do you say? Just just one line. Just one line. Just. Say hello. Keep quiet, we are having a meeting, yes. Just say hello. Hello. My name is. You say your name. I'm here. I like your tie. I like your. Give the Lord a shout, I think. I think we are going to that Bishop. We are looking at the world as a place. So hello, my name is Belinda. I like your tie. I remove such words from your mouth in Jesus name. Clap your hands for Jesus. Yeah, right. One more. Yeah. So a hotel. And. And you see, you see, what she's saying may be strange to some of you. I mean, some of you haven't been to a hotel before, but some of you know exactly what she's saying because it has been your playground before. As you are sitting here like a holy shepherd, holy elder, you know where you have been before. Do you see? Yeah. So it's important. So based on your experiences, because the thing she's saying, honestly, at my age, I've never even thought of such words. First of all, that a lady will go to a man. Then you go there and you introduce yourself. Hello. I'm Belinda. I like your tie. Come on, baby, I like your tie. Any sister. Who says I like your tie to any brother. If we find you. Wow. So that's very powerful. What's your name? Dorothy. That's a very practical example. It's a place you must overcome. Clap your hands for her. It's a place, a hotel. You must overcome. Amen. One more. Yes. Give us a microphone. Hurry up. Microphone. Please, the movie house. Or like a cinema or no? The cinema movie house. A movie house? What is a movie house? A movie house is upgraded form of cinema. That's what obviously upgraded. It's an upgrade of a cinema. That one they. Show movies. They show Movies OK, but this time it's a house so there are rooms in it. So you and a girl alone. It's not like all of us are here and there's a screen and you alone and a girl. Yeah, you alone and a girl. How many times have you been to a movie house? So for you, it's a place to overcome. Yeah, so. So what type of girl is this? And she will also go with you to a movie house. Mostly, mostly you go, you talk to the girl on phone and you'll be like, Oh, let's go and watch a movie. Then she'll be like silver bed. I'm like, Oh, that side the the movies are not nice or the ones that they watch it already you. Have watched the movie there already. All the movies you have watched. Yeah, so with the movie house, it's just you and her in the room and you can't even have time to talk. Then there will be no disturbance. But we know disturbance. So what? What movie do you watch in the movie house? Oh, mostly they're the right ones. The right, the right ones sit down. The right ones. Those are the right ones. The ones that you understand what what you are. Doing sit down, bring a microphone, bring it, bring it, bring a microphone, the one that you understand your mouth. Is it so? If you are, if you are going to do ministry, a pastor, an elder, a missionary, such places you must overcome. So once again, some of you don't. I mean, I've not been to a movie house before. It doesn't. I don't even think about it. But for him, it is something he must try not to go to, you see. So all these are places that you must overcome. If you don't overcome them, they will overcome you and your ministry will be aborted. May God help us to stay serving him. Let's welcome Curtis. 12. I've got a message from the Lord Jesus sent me to you. Are you ready to listen? Do you want to hear it? I said. I've got a message from the Lord Jesus sent me to you. Yeah. Are you ready to listen? Do you want to hear it? If I give my life for you, will you give your life to me? And if I die for you, will you die for me too? If I shed my blood for you, what will you do with it? Will you despise my blood, or will you treasure me? Did I make a mistake when I called you? Should I have chosen another person or anointed another one? And how many times will I give you visions and powerful convictions? But still you don't obey. She's the reason why I'm asking this question. Yeah. You take it so lightly. Yeah. And you take me so lightly. Yes. So if I give my life for you? Yes. Will you give your life for me? And if I die for you, will you die for me too? If I shed my blood bad for you, what will you do with it here? Will you just find my blood or will you treasure in said? What is the point of showing so much love when I get so little feedback from the person I love so dearly? Said How many times? I am asking this question. Yeah. It's that you take it so lightly and you take me so lightly. If I give my life for you, Yeah. Will you give your life to me? And if I time for you, will you time for me too? If I shed my blood for you, what will you do with it? Will you despise my blood? And will you treasure me? Yeah. Oh yeah. Said God to love the world, that he is only begotten, that whoever believes in Jesus should not perish but have new life here. And God commended his love toward us. And while we're yet still sin US, Jesus died on the cross for sinners here. So the reason why I'm quoting the Scripture, It's not. It seems you've forgotten all about them. Yeah. Jesus gave his life for you. And what did you do with it? Yeah. Will you give him your heart or will you hold it back? Jesus shed his blood for you. You will you do with it, man? Will you treasure his blood, or will you try his it? Yeah. No, no. Shall I turn my attention from you to an appreciative person who will not take my love for granted? Yeah. And do you know how long I've been waiting? Have I waited in vain for nothing? It seems like you. Never. Really love me? Yeah. The reason why I I'm singing this song. It seems that I suffer a broken heart for you. If I give my life for you. Yes. Will you give your life to me? Time for you? Will you try for me too? If I shed my blood for you, what will you do with it? Will you despise my blood or will you treasure me if I give my life for you? Will you give your life to me if I give you my? I don't want your treasure in or will you treasure in or will you treasure in or will you treasure in or will you treasure in. So if I get my life for you.
