15

Welcome to track #15 was give thyself holy, not be carnal. I want to be spiritual. I tell you, you are spiritual. Your understanding of things will be different, your attitude will be different. If even the direction of your life, when others are going this way, you are going this way with joy and pleasure. If you are spiritual, giving up something for the Kingdom of God will not be a struggle, will not be like a dental extraction. If you are spiritual, you even see it a privilege to give up anything for God. But if you are canal, you don't want to give up anything. That boyfriend, those friends, unbelievable music, the places you go, parties, this type, all this type of nonsense. We have to use diagrams to explain to you why it is not so, why you have to change, why this is not a good thing. You you can't understand why you are actually studying law. You are so intelligent, but you can't understand why you shouldn't attend parties. You have medical students. You have to use diagrams and all kinds of colour charts to explain to you why you must not work with that foolish boy. Everybody can see that this guy is a fool. You are the only person who can see because you are Canon. You are Canon. Look, a lot of the ease with which people do things is that spirituality. When Bishop tells us a story, how this church started, the decisions he made, the choices he made, I mean very wild choices, he made them because he was a spiritual person. He's a spirituality. If you are spirituality, nobody would tell you to to to attend the camp or not to attend. Some of you were waiting to be the one to be sent back home when people were being sent home. You know the Blazers floor, there's nothing and you are looking at help you lose face. What you send me, can't you see my face? Because really you are here on that dress. Dress. We are praying. Look, it will affect the woman you will marry, the man you will marry, where you go, whether you will live in London or Ghana or America or Morocco. Spirituality will affect the ease with which you obey the the the exaltation and the admonitions of your pastor. Yeah, some people you must say a lot before they understand. Some do just before you begin to speak. It's OK. I understand. I'm not going. It's so easy. Mean your spiritual life take take form May it may it day for as I made your spirituality day for say it again one go may my spirituality day for say Lord if Lord if for day for yeah, you'll be a wild pastor, you'll be anointed you'll be great. You will you will minister with the difference begin you lift up your hands and cry to God and say Lord, I want to be spiritual. Spiritual. Yes, we are asking for the spirit. This one is not exams. It's not that God should help us to get that the visa. We are not asking for admission to Lago admission to US. All those prayers God has answered them, but he said how much more is willing to answer this prayer. So pray from the bottom of your heart. The Lord, I want to be spiritual. Yeah. I want to pay for spiritual power. Everybody will become my life. Because this is a challenge that God is paid for. Is paid for. That's what started day for it. Don't be so confessed. I can't wait in town. Pray Shapata, you will save yourself. None. The. Pray, pray, pray. Now you will be spiritual. The. That degree to which you can give yourself wholly. Yesterday Bishop taught us what it means to give yourself holy, to give yourself totally, entirely, all together, full extent. Listen, please listen without any controversy. The degree to which you will give yourself to God will be directly dependent on your spirituality. Anything you will give up will be determined by your spirituality. Yes, and some of us here, some of you, you have even managed to become an elder. But it is not because of who you are. It is the momentum. Momentum, if you study places, momentum is a product of mass and something else. It's a function of mass that when something is big, it carries a greater momentum. So some of you, there are big things you have been able to do. It is because you are in a large crowd, but alone you don't carry enough Mass, Mass of wisdom, Mass of knowledge, Mass of the word of God, enough Mass of prayer. So, so there's very little in your life. I mean you alone and you say tomorrow morning, afternoon, you'll be alone. When we all finish, here we go, you'll be alone. Your spirituality should not depend on a corporate spirituality. It is great for us to meet and pray and dance and sing and shout, but when you are alone, what type of person you are, It's a very important question you have to ask yourself. It's nice, these instrumentalists about how many of you are playing the strengths. It's not. When I watch you, it's not. I'm sure you are friends, you rehearse and all, but when you are alone, alone in Brazil, what will you become? What, what, what mass? Somebody is 1 personal, but what is carrying is bigger than 5000 people. It was said of David that it was worth more than 10,000 people. So it can be one that would be very, very big. You are big. Yes, and we are trained right now that God will give us the appetite to acquire whatever will make a man spiritual, a woman spiritual. Yeah. If you read Isaiah 11, verse 2, the seven spirits that are parked there, the spirit of wisdom, the spirit of understanding, the spirit of counsel, the spirit of knowledge, the spirit of mind or strength, the spirit of the fear of the Lord. And all these spirits, they, they, they are actually. When the spirit of knowledge is on the person, it is not seen by what the person knows. The spirit of knowledge, it does not. I mean, it's not seen that what the person knows. The spirit of knowledge, when it's on the person, you can tell not by what the person knows, but what the person wants to know. It makes you look for wisdom. It makes you want to read, want to listen to the makhanai. It makes you want to study, it makes you want to know scriptures. That's what you see. The spirit of knowledge is on this person, yes. We are going to pray in the same way when the spirit of counsel is on her brother. How do we know? Because of how he counsels people, by how much he receives counsel. Yeah, there is with which she will take advice from her pastor. So I'm telling that's sister. The spirit of counsel is on her. If you're the type who just deflects advice, the spirit of council is not on you. And when you say somebody is spiritual, it's not that one would touch their personal the person is spiritual. It means these spirits are resting on her. Yeah. The spirit that makes a sick wisdom, makes her want to understand, makes a sick counsel. The spirit of strength, she does things that make her strong spiritually. If the spirit of strength is on her sister, she would readily get rid of any brother in her life who sucks her spirituality away. Yeah, because there's some people when you are around them, your strength is, is, is. I mean your, your, your. Your strength helps your strength, it ebbs away slowly. Because of that, Brother Foster, in your life, Foster must go. So we are praying a lot. Make me spiritual. How will you make me spiritual? Give me the appetite for wisdom, for understanding, for strength, for knowledge. Heaven, as you pray this prayer, I tell you the Holy Spirit, the Spirit that makes you want to read a book will come upon you. You see that from today you will never go to toilet with your 10 fingers. Anytime you are at the toilet, you are with your iPad, not looking at foolish process, but you are reading a book. Wherever you are alone, you are reading, you are searching. It makes you strong, it makes you great. We are going to be spiritual because to be spiritually minded is life. Begin to pray and ask the Lord for the appetite for these seven spirits. Yes, pray Makala Baba ramala Baba ankele baby ram baby mandala ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba. May the spirit of counsel be on you. May the spirit of wisdom be on you so that you seek wisdom. You are you are getting a beloved somebody has proposed. How do I should I respond? What wisdom guides your life? What wisdom do you to make choices? The spirit of wisdom this when they are on you, you will give yourself holy you will constipate the privilege to giving gift to God pray. Lift your hands and ask for the spirit of wisdom, the spirit of knowledge, knowledge, the spirit of counsel, minds, the fear of God, the spirit of the law. Mandala Baba SATA, let me live, lift your hands and pray. The. Bishop shared with us a very important scripture when he taught us to give ourselves wholly to spirituality and that scripture is romance. Chapter 8 it says, verse one says there is therefore now no condemnation. You know, please sit down and let the air circulate. We are going to pray season so that there can be free flow of air. Take your Bible, everybody, take your Bible. Get your Bible. Even if you've underlines the scripture, let's read it. Have you turned to romance? 8 have you? Turned to romance 8 there is I'm reading from the King James Bible. There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. And Bishop said when we are spiritual, it means we are being influenced more by the Spirit of God than by the flesh. Everybody is under 2 influences, every Christian. How many believers are here? How many of us are in Christ Jesus? 17 How many of you all right, so we are all in Christ Jesus, but we are not the same. You know, God never masses at people. He is always distinguishing God is all. If you if you read the Bible, God is always creating groups, selecting individuals, picking people from cities, picking one person from a town, selecting one man from a nation, selecting 12. Jesus was always selecting 12 out of 73 out of 12, one out of three. Because the truth is that there can never be a situation where we are all the same. All of us are in Christ Jesus. Let me say again, how many of you are in Christ? Let me look at the hands. How many are in Christ Jesus? Everybody. But we are not the same. What is used to distinguish us? Romans 81 the difference. Any time we ask you what type of Christian are you, you must use Romans 81 to answer the question because there are types of Christians. What are the two types? What do we use? Elders versus non elders? Men versus women. We can distinguish between two types of people by their responses to the Spirit of God or the flesh. I tell you, I wish I could say this shouting because it is. At the end of the day, this Romans 81 will determine the outcome of your life. I'm telling you, if ever one day you will regret not having done something or you will regret having done, you can think of yourself now as young as you are, the things you regret, they are traceable to Romans 81. Yes. What influenced you to do what you did that has made you no condemnation? This is beautiful. Anyone who is in Christ Jesus has no condemnation. That's not true. Don't, don't put a full stop where there is no full stop. There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus who walk. As soon as you change the dots, you will deceive yourself to hell. Hey, I'm in Christ, you can be in Christ Jesus and be condemned. You are talking about spirituality. Life will condemn you. You know what to be condemn cells. Your case is hopeless. Some of you, you must thank God for first love because your life would have been one of the most hopeless, useless lives after your engineering. No hope for you. Yes, I know other classmates. We're only going together. She did law. She's a lawyer now. She said that her aim is to marry a man with a wife to be a second wife. And she is, you will become what he confessed. She told us when we were all in labour going to the gardens to pray. And so she'll be laughing at us. She'll go to Golden Chile and come. And this one day she just told us. You know something, Edwin? I want to be a second wife. I want to marry a man who was a wife. And today it has happened. I've been told the story was as simple as that. So last year I heard the real story that the old wife is looking for her. I mean, what type of life is this? Is it? And I'm listen, no, she used to go to church with us. I think she spoke in tongues. Yes, she spoke in tongues. You can be in crisis and be condemned. If you are here, you are in crisis. Prepare for some condemnation. Prepare because of how you live your life, how you walk. There are two types of walks, walking after the flesh and walking after the Spirit. It is those who walk after the Spirit who are not condemned and condemn. It's not just when you go to heaven, you are condemned. People on earth are condemned already. You look at their lives. This, this case, it's useless. Yes, I've seen people like that. I told that this case, it's a useless case. And it is true. Nothing, no prayer meeting has revived this pattern. No oil. You can make one choice, just one choice in life. One choice. It will smiazzo your life. One choice beware. You've made 17 good choices, but one bizarre choice. Bizarre will totally torpedo your life in the direction that will shock you. You should be moving this way. You can see where you are going, but you can't help yourself. And it is a life lived by the type of Christian who is fleshly. So she's in Christ, she's in first love, but she's not walking after the Spirit, she's walking after the flesh. You can tell by the friends she has, the friends, the places she goes to. Her mind even about tithe. Her mind about sex? Yes, her mind about relationships. You can tell by how he's excited when he sees certain types of people. Yeah, the guys who are on campus who come with their with their, with their parents car. I mean, the car is not even for him, but, and you know, it's not for this guy if it's for his father. But still your brain can't process what you are seeing because you are totally bewildered by stupidity. We are, we are seated. We are going to pray that Lord sana asumwa. It's not enough to be in crisis as I didn't know that. I thought once I was in crisis as it is. OK, that's not true. Read the Bible who walk not after the flesh. Some of you here you are walking after the Spirit and after the flesh. And as I say, when it comes to spiritual things, you day for when it comes to freshly things also you day for the condemnation you are about to receive. You don't see, don't be the Bible I tell you it is. The English there is beautiful. There is therefore now no condemnation to the muta in crisis who work not. Not when it comes to Freshly behavior. You don't find this girl in that list. When it comes to freshly choices, Freshly decisions. We have to beg you before you come to church. Yeah, some of you think you are too pretty to be spiritual. Oh, I've made them. Like I've seen them. Oh, sorry. I'm a pastor. I pastor a church. I've seen them, I've got to introduce myself to you. Sorry. I've seen them, I've seen them. They are too rich to be spiritual. Yes, I saw one like that. And one day, 21st December, asked his wife had gone mad. Totally bonkers. Said now she's looking for the pasta. Do something. Pasta. You know I blasted him and did something. Oh yes, I did something. You will pay. Let me tell you, any carnality in you that you don't extract from your life will be a source of pain in your future. You will pay. Especially carnality and things that your pastor speaks about. You listen. You sit in text Sunday after Sunday. It's almost like there's no other message to preach. Yeah, it's almost like the message is only one message. No, it's not true. But you say that you are looking like I will mind you. You watch it. You will pay because to be carnally minded is death not that I would do made that though you'll be alive as things are dying in your life. Yeah, marriage is dying, business is dying. Church is dying. Your life is dying. Your dignity is dying because you you you chose the path of analogy. You chose the path. If you see someone who is spiritual, the person has deliberately forcing to work on that path. Sometimes I tell some guys who think that they are smart, they know how to know this rap, these girls and things. I say, look, you are what you are doing. I can tell you that I am more. I am I'm I'm a greater professional than you. Rapping girls, this type of smooching songs and this type of behavior. Going to nightclubs. I said when I began to go to nightclubs. How are you? What type of person do you think you are? I see the life, the life I'm living, I have, I have decided to live this life. That's why I'm here. Don't think about those, Those of us who don't do it, we don't know how to do it. That's why we don't do it. You're not smart. The certificates we have got in those areas. But we decide, yes, like some of you, you have decided. In spite of the life you have lived in the past, in spite of the cigarettes you have smoked, the Indian hems you have smoked, in spite of the fornication to the abort, you have decided talent. You know something, We have all made mistakes. Right now I'm chosen the part of the work of we walk with God. I'm going this way. This is the way. This. Way not that the sister, she, she doesn't know how to be smart and how to look, you know, trendy. And everybody has a response to foolishness. You have chosen a faster response to foolishness. So I'm saying to you that giving yourself wholly to spirituality means that you have chosen not to be influenced by the flesh. And the flesh is nice, yes, freshly things, fleshly society, freshly people have friends being this type of people, high society, this type of socialites. We are in Laguna, we are going out to this party and this guy has a car. Why be that car? You are driving into a model who gave you that car. That's why you can have a little convenient, say, on campus. It has entered your brain like there are smoke in their hand. No choices. You go to some sisters room that's they are playing the Macane a message something. You go to some sisters room and the room is well done. Everything is nice and there's a tape in the corner CD player and Céline Dion is wafting from the corner toward the center. It's wafting, wafting cheese, cool cheese. Cool. That's what we sing. But you, you know, selling them because you were in Canada last year. You wait, you will pay for the carnality being carnality will pay for it. So we are going to walk around here and pray, not inside. We are stepping down around the trees. No, you are not going beyond the second tree. We are going to pray outside. The Lord make me choose. Help me to choose spirituality. Let me not walk after the flesh. Give me the strength to take decisions, deliberate decisions to be spiritual. Are you prepared to pray that prayer? Make me spiritual, Make me spiritual. Give me the strength to take decisions to be spiritual. Let me not follow people who think that being canal is trendy, being worldly like you are here you have got some, some some Nigerian boyfriend with two wells of oils in the Delta State and he's the one who who sends you money and stands your feet and let's go outside. We are praying outside. Everybody, everybody steps out. Come down this way, Walk here, pray. No chatting, praying. Everybody comes out. Mandala Baba, Kabaya Andala. Lord, make me spiritual. Help me to choose not to walk by the flesh. Deliver me from condemnation. Deliver me from Makala Baba, Rahman, Alaba, Salman, Deke de de Lebe Lebe.
