The time for an encounter, a time for radical change, change your story, lifting transformation, miracles, divine direction, empowerment into mescy where the Holy goes marriage with define instructions that guarantee highways in life, it shifts in destiny and carry out your relationships. Come on, I can hear your voice for down is the Kingdom, the power and glory for. And come on, da, come on, come on. Harvey, raise the Lord. And somebody shouts emmen like Donda.

I want you to holler the hemn like I'm the most bless smiling this world. I don't know about you. When I study, I started smiling, and I'm just looking at what is happening here, and I'm seeing. The beauty of following grace men. That a dummy can become successful if it connects to the right instructor, if you put your arrow, your destiny as an arrow in the hand of a hatcher that knows how to direct you. Gotta stop again, Nothing can stop you. I can't remember where my life was in twenty and sixteen before I counted him. And you see today twenty and twenty three, nam two more one even I can. Sorry, the holygo swinster preach what I'm saying. Oh see my father smile? Is this something in my body? Come on, my father is smiling. My father smiling, say my father smiling, profess at destiny changers. He was here in twenty twenty one, pointed his finger and said, because I told him that we hadn't ha been prostituted all over shop rights, that the level of prostitution is becoming too much. He just lifted his voice and he spoke. For three months, we did some prostituous shop rights and the return because we could not hold what he has given to us. I know by the time he speaks to our terretory region, when he goes to hold it back, is somebody shouting a man like thunder. And you see there are men that client that see that men are rimmakers. The man here is a rimmaker. He's a climate changer. God uses him to transform destinies. Ah Us can begore, can banger, say where I go, start, where I go Stop. My wife just helped me and said, Swedy, we are blessed. Have been my mis very emotional. I'm writing a book called Mentorship, the Short cad to Success. I finished it when I encountered him. I had to pack the book at the side and begin to redefine fatherhood because he has redefined fatherhood to me who I've been taught that we should always keep giving to fathers, giving to fathers. I am shocked to meet the father that changed the narrative. When I sit with him, he holds me and say, I love you, Oh God, if you have never encountered Jesus, when you encounter this man, you will. Know who Jesus is. A practical revelation of Jesus in Roman flesh. When he says I loved you, it comes from the depth of his heart. I feel the warmth and you see loss about it. He's hard plans for my greatness and for my increase. He told me three years ago, passed or I repackaged the name of the ministry. I didn't catch it immediately. I obeyed. The head was opened in his light. I see lights. He shows me the possibilities that exists. See what God is doing here? Because I socuted my destiny toy Man like this. I want to tell you, wherever you were before after to death, your. Dentistry is is? Oh God, where will I say it? It's exploding. It's exploding. He's exploding. It's exploding. Do know who is here? Testing it? On two legs? Wisdom on two legs. Cresh on two legs, Climate changer? Uncle, Oh God, what we are? Will I start from the apostle of our generation? Ever revive? Amanda lost the touch, Amanda lost the people of God and man paid their Christ for her destiny. Our supper, our supper, I supper, I supper. Are you ready? I'm not feeling your head at you. I'm not feeling your heir at you. You're not being happy at somebody that wants to say that change. I want you to jump. I want to to shout, well, change a sorrow and jump with a shot and selt it as my shot and loud voice and loud. That's what they show. Welcome my father, and I watched your shop sell man. I said, comest to me, is that. Hallelujah, Jesus big glorified, Jesus big glorified, Jesus be glorified. Let's celebrate what God is doing. Amazing, amazing, amazing, hallelujah. And I want you to please help me bless pastor and his dear wife, giving. A big, big, big big. If you were not in ministry, I would have recommended you to do politics. Allelujah. His man can speak, he will talk and talk and talk. And I was watching and I said, oh God, but we give Jesus the praise. Allelujah. Please help me honor every man and every woman of God here. Give them a big, big, God bless you. It takes a lot of humility and maturity for men of God to leave their business schedules and to come to be part of this apostolic encounter. And I particularly want to honor my dear friend, Bishop Jude. God bless you such an honor. Thank you, thank you so much. Amen. It is true that when God wants to lift men, he sends men. It is true that when God wants to redefine our possibilities. He will send men to our lives. Whether we are attentive to what the spirit is saying and doing or not is a different ballgame. But I'm praying in the name of Jesus. Hence you have come. That the grace to hear, the grace to listen, the grace to understand, may be released upon you in the name of Jesus. Do you believe in prayer? Can we pray for a few minutes. Let your prayer tonight be a simple cry, Father, do in me whatever it would take to position. Me for the next level in the spirit. Go ahead and pray, doing me everything, the pruning, the building, the transformation, illumination. Someone prays, have a lack of chap at us. Shuttepranda gambalato, suppress the ability from the front to the back, the left of the right, connecting online. Go ahead and pray. Go ahead and pray, the Bible says for everyone that asks and receive it. You're a man of God. Pray businessman. Pray annoyed my everything, use my everything. I release my everything.

Let only one person be exalted in this place, Jesus, even the son of the Living God. Lord. We stand that we hide behind the cross, and we cry, O God, that as your people set their gaze upon this preacher, may they see Jesus. May they see Jesus in his power, in his wisdom, in his grace. And to you be all the glory. For in Jesus' name, we pray, God bless you. Please be seated. God bless you, and you may be seated. Yesterday, I didn't have the opportunity to follow doctor Bailey's session. I wanted to just follow to hear what he was saying so that we just connect from there. But I was in Legos, so I was able to pick a few things. I think lay Town just tried to go through it. And I was very, very touched by the perspectives that he brought yesterday, and I just thought it was something that God had put in my heart. And so when he began to talk about these things yesterday, I was very touched and I thought to just build from there because it's important that we understand God's emphasis in these last days. Please lend me your attention. It is important, very very imp important, very important. Please bring to people that shout right now very loud under the anointing. I just saw a cloud of His glory and for someone the Lord is saying, He's bringing you into a new prophetic season. Just help them, Please, help them. Please. Whether you're an ash or not, you just held them. This is a ministry of the spirit. When God does these things, it is because He's responding to the hunger of his people. I want you to be sensitive as we teach. This is why you gave glory be the Girl. Hiyah, Glory be God, glory being God. Hi Ayah Yah. Glory be God. Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Glory be God. Hallelujah, hallelujah, Glory be God. Hi Ayah, Glory be God. Hi a Yah, Glory be Godluiah, Hallelujah, Glory be God. You see what happens when you are in the presence of God is that you are immersed in the cloud of His presence, and as you listen, it is more than an information that is coming to you. The Bible says, now the Lord is that spirit, he says, on weather spirit of the Lord is there is liberty. Then he said, we all. So it's an experience for everyone with faces unveiled beholding him as in a mirror. It says, we are changed changed. Cabala couciater, we are changed. This is what the Bible says, we are changed. It's the Keel. Chapter two and verse one, he says, son of man, stand upon your feet, and I will speak onto you. And he had no strength to arise. Verse two says, and the spirit and taed into me. When he speak onto me. Jesus was speaking, and he says, the words that I speak unto you. It is beyond a lecture, is beyond a man just speaking English. When you come from the presence, you also come with his presence. And when you speak, it says the words that I speak, they are spirit and their life. That means beyond the things that the preacher is saying, the essence of his communication from the depth of the spirit. There is a spirit to spirit communication. While you are listening to me, there are things you will hear beyond what I am saying, because it's not just your ears hearing it. There is a spirit communication. There is a spirit communication, and so I want you to be very, very attentive. Wherever we stop tonight, will pray. Don't be distracted. His word is powerful. It comes to build us. Now. God always has his emphasis in every season. Please listen. God is not doing the same thing in all seasons. And there are three levels of the anointing that is available in this side of God's kingdom. The first dimension of the anointing is that which comes in the life of a belief by reason of being grafted into Christ. The Bible calls it the anointing that is within Allelujah. That is the anointing that is responsible for conformity, the inner workings of the spirit that produces the character of the Christ in the believer. There is the second level of the anointing that comes upon a believer, strengthening you to be a witness. Allelujah. He says, tarry ye in Jerusalem until you be endoed with power from on high. But there is a third level of the anointing that does not come just because you're a believer. It does not just come just because you occupy an office. It comes by reason of your understanding and aligning with what God is doing now. So it is possible that you can be a man of God. It is possible you can. Be a businessman and carried the anointing that is upon a believer by reason of our union with Christ, carried the anointing that is upon you by reason of your office. And yet you will find out that you are very ineffective when you enter a certain season because of the inability. To discern and align with what God is doing. He says, And of the sons of Isaka, there were men who had understanding of the times to know what Israel ought to do. So in every season God has his emphasis, and there is a threefold emphasis. Please listen with all your respect. If you're a man of God, here I wanted to hear me. If you want to be relevant in the days that are coming, your ministry must be pecked around these three things. This is what God is doing now. Number one, The first emphasis of the spirit is world evangelization. This is what God is doing right now. Campaign to see. That as many as possible come into the experience of salvation. He desires that all men be saved. He desires that all men be saved. That means whoever becomes. Part of these global missions, this world evangelization. Campaign, you can be sure that you have the backing, the support of the Spirit. Number two, the second emphasis of the Spirit in this season is the maturity of the saints. The Bible says an air, for as long as that air is a child, he differed not from a slave, even though he be lord of all Before now there is a lot of recycling or very inferior levels of light in the church. So believers are not methodically mentor to attain stature and maturity in the spirit. The average believer is very ignorant as far as the business of spiritual understanding and maturity is concerned. So we're around church, we do a lot of church activities. What most believers are not sound in doctrine. They are not grounded. The average believer cannot stand in defense of his spiritual understanding. What do you know about God? What do you know about prayer? What do you know about Satan? What do you know about victory? What do you know about defeat? What do you know about the realm of the spirit? What do you know about God's program? What do you know about his economic system? What do you know about the cosmos. It is this understanding that gives you stature and standing in life. So most believers, the average believer, just as gaps of spiritual information, either learned from church or perhaps following a man of God or some teaching. So we have many disconnected truths that are not synergized to produce stability. One of the things that the Spirit of God is doing, He's rearranging our understanding. He's bringing us to a level of accuracy. There is a formula, and this is what I'm going to be teaching on. There is an apostolic model for the growth. Of the believer. The believer was never designed to grow by chance. The believer was not supposed to free lance your pathway to growth. There is a predefined pathway away. Together, we produce doctors today because we invented predictable pathways. So anybody who subscribes to that pathway at the end of six seven years, you can call that person a medical doctor, an engineer. You imagine some of the people we celebrate today, once upon a time, they were naive people with only a passion to become what they are now. And the ability to have evolved was because they submitted themselves through a methodical system. Are we together? Most believers learn just by will, by passion. If you are fortunate to find it in a conference, happy for you. If you're fortunate to find it with your pastor, happy for you. If you're fortunate to find it in a book, happy for you. If you're fortunate to find it online. You stumble across a message and it seems to shed more light and take you out of a level of ignorance, Happy for you. The Church cannot be powerful that way. There has to be a defined pathway, and this is one of the things that I'll be showing us. So number one world evangelization. Number two the maturity of the saints. And to achieve this purpose, God is not really concerned about the saints. His concern about the ministerial gifts because they are the ones equipped to prepare the saints. No body will be able to raise the people higher than his realm. Of spiritual understanding toge So, rather than God seeking to raise one thousand people, he would rather walk upon that one person who he has made a shepherd over the thousand people, because in his maturity will be their maturity. In his enlightenment will be their enlightenment. Everyone communicates truth from the lens of his ignorance or otherwise. Number three, what is the third emphasis of the spirit in this season? Territorial transformation. This is an aspect of the Great Commission that has been neglected for a very long time. It is a reason why society has frowned at our Christian experience, because we've not been able to capture God to a context that has become profitable to society. Are we together? The average Christians experience is laced with all kinds of fanatism, without an experience that reflects God to society. In Matthew chapter five, when you begin to read from verse thirteen. Jesus, you are the salt of the earth, he says, And if the salt has lost his saltiness or his several wherewhich shall it be salty again? It is good for nothing except to be thrown on the foot trampled on the foot of men. Then it says, you are the light of the world. He calls us a city that is set on a hill that cannot be hidden. It says, neither do men light a lamp and put it under a bushel, but that they put it on a candlestick, and it gives light to everyone in the room. He leaves us with a mandate. In verse sixteen, it says, permit your light to so shine before men, not before spirits. There is a dimension of your Christian experience that must reflect on society. So with all your respect, we have a lot of churches, a lot of conferences, a lot of conventions, a lot of crusades, and our society continues to plunge into a level of dicadence. You see, because most believers have not been mentor to understand the principles of territorial transformation. The average believer only knows prayer as a tool for territorial transformation. And while that is important and foundational, that is not the only key. There are many aspects. Are we together? Yes, there are people in scripture that the Bible calls they which turned the world upside down their territories felt the impact of their godliness. So these are the three emphasis of the Spirit world evangelization. The maturity of the saints. God is opening, redigging ancient wells again and bringing us to levels of superior understanding the things that we were once at a loss about the things that the fathers, the things that the patriarchs knew that granted them access to power. They manifested on usual possibilities. God, by his spirit, through the spirit of revelation, is bringing these experiences to the church again. You believe that, shout aloud, Amen, Allelujah. So let's go to our discussion tonight. There is an apostolic model for spiritual growth. There is an apostolic model for wholesome growth and stability. It's very important for us to understand. There is a way God designed men to know Him and there is a way God designed men to function. Let me repeat myself again. There is a way God designed that men would know Him. There are many ways, many routes in the spirit. As far as your determination to know God is concerned, but there is a pretty defined pathway. Please listen, the believer is not at liberty to invent his pathway to knowing God. The moment you attempt to invent your way of knowing God, you will dabble into witchcraft, spiritism, and all kinds of extra biblical practices. There are many people who sincerely began a pursuit to knowing God, but they did not know that there is a pretty defined pathway. The many extra biblical variations that we have in the Body of Christ today are a reflection is a report card that if you do not follow the path designed by God, as far as knowing Him. Is concerned, even if you are sincere, you will stumble across many, many, many things in the spirit that is not God. Are we together? The Bible says the spirit speak at expressly that in the later time some will depart from the faith and will give heat to set do sain spirits and the doctrine of demons. If you understand anything about seduction, seduction has no power over you until there is a desire in. You that it can connect with away together. That means, if I am not hungry, the temptation over food will have no power over me. So the character of seduction is that satance tod is your desire and builds a system of deception around your desire. So, if your desire is to know God, you can go to first, you can go to pray, but not understanding that there is a way God design meant to know him, you can sincerely begin that journey and find out that you are encountering familiar spirits, encountering all kinds of things. You will return back with all kinds. Of revelations that are not consistent with the character of Christ. And as you begin to practice those revelations, you will find out that you are becoming something. Else, not Christ. Are we learning now? So it is important for us to know that the believer is it's not at liberty to choose how to know God. There is already a path Jeremiah sixty sixteen. Give it to us, please, The Bible says Jeremiah, chapter six and verse sixteen. Thus sayer the Lord's tangy in the ways, and see and asked for the old path? Where is the good way? He says, And walk therein and ye shall find. Rest for your souls. There is a path already pre defined, pre defined by God. And tonight I want to show you that path in the name of Jesus Christ. When Jesus called the disciples who would later become apostles of the Lamb, he subjected them to a model, a template. There was a way he raised them, There was a way he made them to evolve from fisher men to apostles. They did not just become apostles just because they exhausted their time with Jesus. They were submitted methodically to a spiritual system. The early churche from Adds Chapter two began to evolve and grow until they had mighty men within the church community by following the same pathway. And I submit to you, by the integrity of scripture, that any person, any church, any environment, any territory that goes back to that apostolic template must become a people of power, must become a people of grace. If that is you, shout aloud amen. So Number one, there is a way God designed men to know him. There is a way God designed men to function. The second thought that I wanted to have tonight is that there is a model. There is a template that the early Church used in building believers. There is a model. There is a template that the early Church used in building believers. It would be such a risk for Jesus to leave them to their creativity choose how to raise the people. Know they were given an exact blueprint, and they used it to the latter and they raised mighty men out of sinners. If this model is followed, the truth is that it will turn anyone to an object of wonder. The idea that God just decided to select a few people and manifest His glory and power in their life. Is not scriptural. It is true that there are people by reason of the election of Grace. Away together, have been apportion certain superior dimensions in the spirit for the sake of God's program. But I want you to know, and this is the next point, that the believer has a destiny in Christ. Please follow my teaching carefully. Away together, If we're together, say amen, I need to know that everyone is following. There is a destiny that the believer has in Christ, and I want to reveal it to you, the believers destiny in Christ. Listen to me. The end product of all that God is doing in and to you is glory. The end products. I need to tell you this when you begin to work with God. The end product. What God has in mind by the time he begins to work with any man is that His glory. Be manifested through that person. Are we together? God's ultimate desire for every believer, as far as your prophetic destiny is concerned, is that eventually your life becomes a manifestation of the glory of God. Write that statement down. That's your life. This is your creed. This is the destination your faith adventure. Why the prayer, why the fasting, why the word study? Why going to church on Sunday. I'm revealing to you that behind every spiritual activity, this is what God has at the back of his mind, that my life and your life becomes in experience a manifestation of the glory of God. Save my life, please shout it. Save my life must become a manifestation of the glory of God. One more time. Save my life must become a manifestation of the glory of God. You know what the glory of God is. The word glory comes from the Hebrew word cupboard, the Greek is doc sir. It means the weightiness is an attempts to measure the value of a thing. So when you talk about the glory of a thing, you have to examine all the features that makes that thing expensive or makes that thing desirable. Are we together now? Yes? If I hold your phone right now, if you're using the latest phone and I say, what is the glory of this phone, you have to tell me all the features that make that phone expensive or makes it unique. So when the Bible says the believer should be the manifestation of the glory of God. It means the believer becomes a script and explanation to how. Mighty God is. Are we together? Now? Men do not know God because they do not have the spirit of God in them. So you become a living epistle. That when you work with God, eventually you begin to become a kind of believer that becomes the most visible expression of all the multifaceted dimensions that make God God, his favor, his wisdom, his power, his grace. All of these. Attributes of God begin to find expression through you, and it will cause the nations to acknowledge Him as Lord. This is the destiny of every believer. If you do not understand this, you cannot raise people. If you do not understand this, you will prove use a weak people man of God. Behind the pulpits that you standing every Sunday, every Wednesday, behind every conference such as this, it's important for us to know that we are in partnership with God of for this agenda to be able to bring the saints into their prophetic destiny, that no matter where you meet them from, you should never leave them. That way, God's desire is more than making you rich that's too small an agenda. God's desire is more than just giving you a job. Is important, but it's too small an agenda. These things are called His benefits. There are six of them, according to some one or two. Bless the Lord all my soul and all that is within me. Bless his holy name. It says, Bless the Lord all my soul, and forget not his benefits. But don't get so distracted with the benefits that you forget your destiny, the destiny. Of ever free believer. Listen to me, ladies and. Gentlemen, whether you're a man of God, whether you are in business. This revelation changed my life as an individual and as a man of God. Behind my raising people by the spirit, behind the things that I do, at the back of my mind is that I am in partnership with God to produce this agenda, that to birth the glory of God in the sains. Are we together very very important your prophetic destiny in Christ. The Bible says in Romance eighth and verse eighteen, it says, for I reckon that the sufferings of this present time is not worthy to be compared with the glory that shall be revealed in us. There is a glory to be revealed in us. There is a glory to be revealed in us. In fact, the Bible says, how does it put in now? It says, for our light afflictions, which is but for a moment, it worketh in us a far more exceeding weight of glory. There is a weight of glory, the manifestation of the power of God. John fifteen and verse eight. Here really is my Father glorified. When you bear much fruit, So shall you be my disciples John fifteen sixteen. You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, it says, and ordained you to go and bear fruit, and that your fruit will remain Gallatians one twenty four. Profound sentence. And they glorify God in me. God can be glorified in a man. God can be glorified through a man. Are we together now? Yes? When Jesus walked upon the earth, he worked as a revelation of who God was and who God is. The invisible God that we never saw, that we did not know now had a material. Frame, was revealed to us in the peason Jesus, so all our suspicions and fears and doubts about God were clarified when Jesus walked upon the earth. He was a manifestation of the invisible God. And just like Jesus, the saints have been given the manday to follow in his steps. That means we are to our world today a revelation of the invisible God, the God they cannot see. Hallelujah. Are we learning now say my destiny in Christ? Please shout to say, my destiny in Christ is to be a manifestation of the glory of. God on earth. This is profound. It will change your life immediately. You know that beyond being a doctor, beyond being an engineer, beyond being a preacher, beyond being whatever, career, whatever, it is a family person that ultimately bigger than all of those things, all those desires are so upset of this. My life must become a glory, a revelation of the glory of God. That means, one day someone should look at your life and say, God, I fear you, this is what you can make out of men. One day someone should look at your life and say, indeed, I know that there is a God in heaven. Do you believe this? The believer has a destiny in Christ, and the destiny is that your life becomes a manifestation of the glory of God. The second thing that I want to tell you is that there is a pathway that leads to this expectation. Inasmuch as it is God's desire that we become visible manifestations. Of His glory, there is a pathway that leads to that experience. There is a pathway that leads to that experience, My God, there is a pathway that leads to that experience. In John chapter fourteen and verse six, Jesus made a very profound statement. He now said, I am the way. Everyone said the way. I am the way, not I have the way, not I will show you the way. He says, I am the way and the truth and the life. When you really understand that statement, he was not talking about three different things. He was talking about a pathway. I am the way that leads you to truth, reality, and at the end of that journey you encounter life. Allelujah, Praise the name of the Lord. So there is a pathway that leads to that, and it's important that you understand this pathway. Let me have three gentlemen, please, any three gentlemen, just come up. Let me use you for one example. Anyones at all in front? Come? We have three. That's all right, my friend, you can go back this three gentlemen. Do we have one more? Okay? You stand here, you stand here, and you stand here. Just face yourselves watch this. Now, where is our third person? Come? You be the starting point. You can go up. Let him stand where you are. I like to teach giving an illustration. Now everybody watch Please don't just face this way. Yes, watch this. There are three levels you need to understand this. Three major levels to the believer's experience. Number one, this, for instance, is a sinner who does not. Even know God. He's never met God. He just came for a conference like this, or he came to your church as a man of God. But the destiny of that believer is. To become like this person. If you do not understand the three faces that produces the glory of God out of a believer, you will keep teaching and teaching and teaching, and people will never change. The first level is called salvation. Don't assume you understand what I'm saying. You just believe this. If you try to follow the path to the glory of God and you jump salvation, you will never get there. Hallelujah. As simple as this sounds, there are many many. Believers give us First John chapter five, place eleven and twelve salvation. So here is a gentleman who say, perhaps came to church, and then a great man of God, after preaching, made an altar call. This gentleman perhaps naive in the things of the spirit. Are we together now? But he made that call and he came, Jesus, be my Savior, be my Lord. Now he just began the Johnny. Jesus is called the key to the kingdom. There is only one key to the kingdom. It's not a metallic object, it's not a principle, it's not a law. It's a person, Jesus. But when you get into the kingdom, then there are the keys off the kingdom. Are we together? There is only one key to the kingdom. Jesus said, I am the dog. So this gentleman gets saved. Now watch what happens the moment this gentleman gets saved. For many believers say, think that is all. The average believer thinks his destiny is just to be saved. No, being saved is only entrance into the Kingdom experience. Are we together? It was never supposed to stop at the initial salvation experience because at this point there's a lot that is not yet at work in his life. So when this gentleman gets saved, watch this. He does not just stay in that state. A transition begins. The second phase after salvation is called transformation. Transformation. You need to know this for yourself and then to be able to produce a qualitative believer within your territory. It's unfortunate that many times we leave many believers barely saved. I hope you know that every sinner, according to scripture, is called a harvest. So in the mind of God, every sinner is already right for a harvest. What do you do when you have a st crops? Do you leave them in the firm? There? When you have seed, tomato, especially perishables. If you have as tomato and lives it in the firm, what begins to happen. This is what happens. So when you have a change full of. People that are just saved and are not changed, they will feel the change and eventually all kinds of troubles, manifestations of canality begins to happen. Because they are only saved, transformation does not happen. Transformation is the name given to the process that makes you become like Christ in experience. Transformation the name given to the process that makes you become like Christ in experience. Is someone following. This is very important. You may have heard me say the greatest need of a non believer is salvation. Every time you see a non believer around Asaba, every time you see a non believer around your area. No matter what you give the person, whether I spocket money, whether it's a job. From an eternal perspective, the greatest need of a non. Believer is salvation. Are we together? So if you give that person a job, if that person receives a healing miracle, if that person receives lifting, all of those things are just they're just consolations. But you have really helped a nonbeliever when you bring him to a point of accepting the lordship of Jesus. Now, the greatest need of a believer that is saved is transformation. Are we together now? Transformation? Transformation, Transformation the process that makes you to become like Christ's and experience. Galatians Chapter four and verse nineteen. Please give it to us. I need to walk you through this path, my little children, Paul says, of whom I traveil in birth again until Christ be formed in you. He's speaking to believer us, people who are already saved, but he's saying there is a formation of Christ that needs to happen. The inner workings of the spirit. This is what produces the fruit of the spirit. Like you heard Dr Whalley was saying yesterday, the fruit of the spirit is not something that is mechanical. You don't try to have it. A fruit is a natural byproduct of the maturity of it. Are we together? When a three grows well and it becomes mature, it does not struggle to produce fruit transformation and conformity. So this gentleman came to church, but he came from a background of idolatry, with all kinds of lusts and all kinds of anger, all kinds of jealousy, all kinds of things. What he is saved truly, he gave his life to Christ. And then through the ministry of the teaching priests according to Jeremiah three fifteen, and I will give you pastors or shepherds according to my heart, and they will feed you with says, with knowledge and with understanding. This is the raw material that turns this naive believer into a transformed believer. Knowledge and understanding. The bridge between immaturity and to become a person of stature is knowledge on. Standing, someone learning now. So with time, this is our brother who started as a naive unbeliever, full of all kinds of baggages. There is the work of the Spirit. Every Sunday, every Wednesday, every message, every prayer session, every fasting session, every discipleship session is transitting this gentleman. Gradually. Eventually he will become what we call a transformed believer, a transformed believer. What is the difference between this man and this man? There is a greater experience of the character of Christ. When you look at this gentleman, there is a striking difference. You will almost not know again whether he's evil or Euroba or Housa, or European or American. Do you know why? Because the limitations connected to his territory, by reason of natural different dissent, has been eroded. He's been brought into a new culture. The only person he looks like now is Christ. The limitations that came with where he is coming from the anger problems, whatever it is, has been caught away. The old man has been deadened, he's been alive onto Christ. Are we learning? But you see, when this gentleman gets here, now his land the rigiments of the things of God, then God lets him know that I have an assignment for you, and that this assignment is not just for you to be a church member. This assignment is for you to be a witness. Now that you have experienced me, you need to help the world know who I am, because your destiny is to be a manifestation of My glory. But for that to happen, if you only go with stories, they would drive you away. And so you move to the next level called empowerment. Are you seeing the order now? So salvation then transformation. If you're trying to do an empowerment for this man, you are only going to waste anointing and waste time. And this is a mistake that is made in charge people receiving gifts without the character of Christ. And you see all the kinds of trouble that keep coming out of this because we compromise on the pathway. Look at the ratio of importation to transformation. Three and a half years to one day of Pentecost. The disciples kept crying and said, Jesus won't be anointing. Come on, Nord, we want to work science and wonders. And he said, no, stay, I'm making you to become a certain kind of people. There were only anointing conscious. They wanted anointing when their surgeons are healing the sickness. What manner of man is this that the winds and the waves of baking give us this power too? And he said no, not that way. You continue. At a point they became angry. They said, listen, we've left everything. To follow you. This barcain is not we thought you just give us anointing. And that mistake still happens in church today. There are people who the moment they get they get saved, they run around with bottles of oil. They run around harassing men holding their trousers. You will not let you go. You need to understand that the value of empowerment is when it comes upon a transformed vessel, because the oil will always assume the shape of the vessel carrying it. When the vessel was small, it made the oil look small. What was multiplied was not really the oil. The moment the vessel expanded, the full potential of the oil was revealed. So there are some of you right now. God is doing the work. You are in this phase of your Christian experience. And while that is happening, the devil is deceiving you that your anointing will never come upon your you are. What kind of man of God are you? By now you should have opened a church. By now you would have becoming a great man of God. No, the level of stamina it takes to represent God will be gotten in this your face of transformation. But then when you are truly transformed, the next phase is empowerment. Empowerment. When Jesus walked with the disciples, they got to a point where he told them, now you've understood the message. You need empowerment. Tarry in Jerusalem. Don't just carry stories around. You need to be able to be validators, to be witnesses. Are we learning now? Any believer who follows these three faces will eventually become a mighty manifestation. Of the power of God. But the most important aspect, Notice this one. Salvation happens instantly. Are we learning how our men happens instantly? The one that is not instant is transformation, and that is the hardest of the process. Let me take it again. Salvation happens instantly. You declare the lordship of Jesus in that moment, whether you feel like it or not, you are saved. When the power of God came upon Elisha, in that moment, he began to work miracles. But ladies and gentlemen, the hardest journey of the believer is the journey from salvation to complete his. Process of transformation. In truth, we don't finish, but that you attain a threshold that can leave you empowered. Let me tell you what is happening in church. We are shifting this equation and changing it. There are some hold my hands, my friend, this is empowerment some of us. This is the equation we arranged so people who do not even know just because there is an importation, I want power, I want anointing. To what end? The men in Athens were bowing down and worshiping and unknown God. Is that in your Bible? And on known God? They were worshiping and on lon God. And when Paul came he saw them, he said, Ah, I perceive that you people have a lot of zeal but all this worship and this service and this devotion, do you know the God that you are saving? Jesus told the woman at the well, is said, ye worship what ye know not, But we worship what we know. For salvation is of the Jews tonight for someone. God is rearranging it. That just because the annointing has not come on your life does not mean you are following the wrong path. You don't start with transformation, No, you start with salvation. There are many people who have jumped that step. They started with transformation. They have never truly been saved, but they've been around a church listening to a man of God, and so they have a semblance of de chorum in their lives. And you will be mistaken that they are saved. They are not saved. The Bible says, for God so loved the world John three sixteen. He says that he gave his then one and only begotten son, that whosoever that blessing is for whosoever believes in him, not whosoever comes around him, whosoever believed on him should not perish, it says, but have life everlasting. Verse seventeen says, for God did not send this Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved. First John chapter five. Let's read eleven and twelve. First John chapter five. Please give it to us, and this is the record Asabah away together that God had given us eternal life. And this life is so structured that you must en don't that his son. Verse twelve, it says so that he that had the son is the only one who had life, and he that had not the son does not have his life. Remember what I'm teaching you that the believers destiny is to be a manifestation of the glory of God, and that to achieve that there are three major faces. Watch this. The first phase is when you acknowledge the lordship of Christ. The gift that you receive here is the righteousness of God. You do not earn it. It is something that comes as a gift, the life of God as a gift. Watch this. We are not saved by good walks. We are saved by chrace, but we are saved onto good walks. You see that now. There is nobody who can end salvation, for our righteousness is as filthy rights. It is important that as we help believe us. We do not just that telling them, Oh, you. Don't pray and fast to be saved, you don't study the Bible to be saved. No, you'll believe in Jesus. To be saved. When you are now saved. There are many things that happen to you when you are saved that were not in you when you are not safe. For instance, the anointing that is within, that comes by the spirit, That is the anointing that makes you alive, desiring you, desiring God, placing. The love of Jesus in your heart. Now that you have that measure of. Grace, are you saying that now the teaching priests in partnership with the Word of God now leads you to a point of salvation, of transformation. You now begin to submit yourself to transformation. And as you are transformed, eventually you will find out that you are becoming a certain kind of mysterious believer. And then a moment will come you will encounter the power of the Holy Ghost. At that point you are becoming a living epistle. God can show you your world, and you're become a sign and a wonder and men look at you and marvel and say, what kind of preacher, are you what kind of businessman are you? And if the person is interested, you can pass. The person through the same face. Are you seeing that it's not an exclusive reserve for some preachers. Everyone who passes through this face Salvation transformation empowerment. Salvation transformation empowerment. That is the Apostolic model that was used by Jesus to train the disciples, and that was a model that they used to raise mighty men from the early Church. Salvation transformation empowerment. The greatest need of an nonbeliever, Ladies and gentlemen, every own believer in a sabah, no matter what you do to them, if you do not bring them to the saving knowledge of Jesus, you really did not help them. The greatest need of a saved believer is not. To remain a baby, but by the ministry of the teaching priests, by the ministry of the world, by the ministry of the spirit, in partnership with all the spiritual exercises of fellowship and prayer. According to Ans chapter two and verse forty two. And they continued steadfastly in the apostles doctrine, and in fellowship, in breaking of bread, and in prayer, that was a model ants Chapter six and verse four. But we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the world. Now that person is so submits to this process of transformation, and then when you are transformed, you can now begin to experience measures of God's power. And even that empowerment does not just come. It is not all the anointing you need in your life that comes at once. It comes in measures. According to his Secil forty seven, it comes in measures, and that measure is controlled by number one, the predeterminate counsel of God. Number two your level of faithfulness in using that which He has given you. A number three your yield deadness to receive more. These are the factors that govern the multiplication of the anointing. I'm saying that because in the name of Jesus there is someone who came for this conference. You may have started just with salvation, but the spirit of God has taken you to transformation to a measure. And now you came for this conference because there is such an anointing. There is a mighty grace that is going to wrest upon you, and it will turn you to become a sign and a wonder there are pastors that are transformed. Sincerely, the missing, incretenting your ministries empowerment. Just because oil came on your head does not mean you are anointed. Oil does not annoint. The oil has to be anointed itself to annoy it. God does not hide this power in oil or mediums. His powise hidden in his world, his powise hidden in men. It is men that annoyed the mediums to be points of contact. Away together, let's celebrate this, gentlemen, God bless you. Please. If we're together, say amen, I want to whilest you are seated, to lay your hands on your head and now begin to cry onto God in one minute before we continue, Father, I desire you know what face you are in right now. For some you are not even saved. I'll be giving you an opportunity before the service is done. For some you are saved. But the truth is that there is there is bancropcy of grace, of growth. You have been around the things of church, but not around the things of God. There is a cry for transformation. Go ahead and pray, and there are others. In all fairness, you have tasted of the transforming power of the spirit. But your witness is not effective because you need to be empowered. You need to be empowered. You are parried in this conference because you are anointing for your destiny has been looking for you. Oh and may it find you tonight. May it find you tonight. May it find you that anointing that makes you a profit Indeed, that anointing that makes you an Apostlingdeed, that anointed that makes you a business man. Indeed, may it find you made find you in the name of Jesus Christ. Allelujah, allelujah. Now yesterday, I understand doctor Willy began to talk to you about the knowledge of God, and he shared a few things, and I just want to add a few things and then we'll pray. It is important to know. Listen carefully. I wrote, Yeah, The riches and the full potential of the life of God is released only when we know God. The riches and the full potential of the life of God is only released when we know God. That means this away life, when the believer receives this life. Watch this now. The life of God is a compendium of limitless possibilities, but that the potentials in that life that you have. Received is only released to your world to the degree to which you know God. Daniel, Chapter eleven and verse thirty two. The bee Pad says, but the people that do know their God, two things will happen to them. Number one, they shall be strong. Number two, they shall do exploits, not talk exploits, not wish exploits, not explain exploits, not just write books about exploits. They shall do exploits. Allelujah. John seventeen numbers three. Jesus is praying now. And it says, and this is life eternal, that they may know THEE, the Only True God. Are you saying that now that the administration of eternal life is beyond just confessing Jesus Christ. That opens you up to the potential of that life. But the experience of eternal life is a product of knowledge. That the deeper your knowledge of God, the more the reality of this life you have received is made manifest through you. You believe that, say, amen, this is life eternal, that they may know THEE the only True God. And Jesus whom thou was sent. In fact, the Bible says, according as his divine power. It says, grace and peace be multiplied onto you through the knowledge, not of it, the knowledge of Him. So grace and peace is multiplied to the degree to which you know him. You know him. The more you know him, the more you see grace, the more you see peace. The more you know Him, the more you see grace. That means the difference between any two believers, it's not the love of God, is the depth of their knowledge of God. That has translated to the power that they command in their world. Did you get that? Now someone can tell the sick be healed, You can speak over someone's destiny, let those be open, and you find out that nothing happens. It's not that you are fake. It's just that you do not know God enough to have drawn the kind of strength required to produce that. Are we together? There is a reward for every encounter with God. Is like money. If I have ten thousand, can I buy a house? No? But do I have money? Yes, but not enough for that kind of possibility. So if I stand to buy a house and I bring out ten thousand, the owner of the house or whoever is selling it to say this is too small. There are many of us. Is not like you are not annointed, but. The capacity of God you need to make you reveal Him to your world. You don't have it yet. So you stand before cases. That are higher than your knowledge of God, and you're say, in the name of Jesus, let your destiny be open. And destiny is not open, because every time you know God, there is a weight you carry in the spirit, and the realm of the spirit acknowledges it is that Jesus. I know, Paul, I know. This is what differentiates men in the spirit, the depth of your knowledge of God. But I know whom I believed, and. I am persuaded. He says, is someone learning now? This is the difference between any two preachers, believe me. This is the difference between any two kingdom business men the depth of their knowledge of God. There is someone who can find something about God. The Petriars found something about God and it brought them. They were not even prayed for power when Moses watched this. When Moses had an encounter with the glory of God, he never prayed that his face would shine. He never prayed for certain levels of wisdom. It was the byproduct. It is impossible to meet and not the God of the Bible and then. Remain the same. The people that do know their God. The preachers that do know their God, their pursuits that do know their God. Are we together? The realm of the spirit has a very clear or ambiguous understanding of everyone's level of the knowledge of God. Because you see, the Bible tells us God is many things, like you'll be learning shortly. I hope we're working together. It says God is light. That means every time you encounter God, how they know in the spirit is that your illumination increases. When Jesus transfigured, he showed us his spirit man, the brightness of light. So every time I encounter God, you grow in the spirit, not just by measuring chronological age. Your growth in the spirit is measured by the depth of lights that is emitted from your spirit man, which is a product of the depth of your encounter with God. This is even how you can know the ranking of angels by the lights that they emit, which is a product of how many times they have the privilege of encountering God themselves. Someone learning. So when I encounter God as a man of God, there is a level of light weight and stature that I command in the spirit that translates to the level of empowerment that rests upon my life. Let's talk a bit about knowing God. This is where our rapper for tonight. Are you learning now? The truth is that, according to Isaiah forty and verse twenty eight, the Bible lets us know that God is limited and God is in finite. When we talk about the subject of knowing God, he said, hast thou not known, hast thou not heard the everlasting God, the Lord, the creator of the ends of the earth. Watch this he fainted, not neither is he weary. Then he says, there is no such of his understanding. You know what that means in our quest to know God, even through eternity, we will never exhaust him. So He's already given you an information from the start that as you seek to know God, prepare to make it an eternal Johnny, there is no arrival that you will never get to a point where you can quantize all of God. And said, this is God. That was the mistake of Lucifer. He thought that all of God that he saw was all that there was to God. And he said, if this is all that God has, then I can be God. I can exalt myself like the most high only for him to find out that there are many dimensions in God that he did not know. Away together. Now, the songwriter says, the more I know you, the more I want to know you. How true, when you encounter God, you will see that there are many layers to God. Now, so have this at the back of your mind. The second thing I want you to know, which is very important, is one of the main reasons why God is unfathomable, is because of three attributes of God that he did not share with man. When the Bible calls us partake us of his divine nature, it is not every part of his divine nature we got. There are aspects of his divine nature that he did not share with man. Number one his omnipresence. He did not share it with man. Man does not have omnipresence. Number two his omni potales, the ability to be all powerful. Man is not all powerful. We are not almighty. Our power is derived from our union with Him. Outside of our union with him, we do not have power. Are we together? And then Man is omnipresent, not only present, not only portent, not only shared all knowing. Paul already educated us that we see im part and we prophesy in part that means the best of us is still limited in on the standing. It is because of these three attributes. These are that attributes that brands God in a class all by himself. This one he did not share with man, omnipresence, omnipotence, and omniscients is someone learning now. So as we explore God, we are limited because we are not omnipresent. We're not omnipotent, We're not omnicient. But then the Lord gives us an opportunity to be able to discover layers layers. Of the knowledge of Him. So as far as our walk on earth is concerned, there are three dimensions to knowing God, and this is what I want to give you tonight. I believe that this is one of the things that Dr David Wiley was attempting to bring yesterday. If you understand these three dimensions, you will know God rich enough to be a sign and a wonder on earth. Not rich enough to exhaust your passion for God, but rich enough to be a believer with the command of power and statue. Indeed, are we together I received, I manifest your power. And yoursdom Till the nations cgsus lifted up. You are exhausted. I received, I manifest. Your power, and you alwaysdom till the nations. Cigsus lifted up, glorify, I receive. I'm mad manifast your power any alwaysdom to my nation. Siegesus lift teed up and soult And I received my manifest. Your power. Alwaysdom till the nations Siegesus lift teed up. This song for someone will be your testimony. It will become the anthem of your life. That when men see you, they will truly see the manifestation of the glory of God. They will marvel and say, can God make this kind of a man? Can God make this kind of a pastor? Can God make this kind of a prophet? From what breed? Have you come? This a man who have been flaunched out of the fondness of affliction, man of power and men of mind. That man will look at you, and you look like you are God upon the head. You will damn life like an animal because you have so stained power in the spirit. He said, leave me for the day break it. And he said, I will not let you go. I will not let you go unless you bless me and say, what is your name, he said, I am Jacob. He said, doubt shall no longer be called Jacob or Israel, for as a prince you have had power with God, and you have prevailed. He touched the whole of his tie and blessed him. The Bible says the sun arose, and he called the place penny l for I have seen God face to face. There are people who will rise from this conference tonight. This night. You are seated, but you don't know what is already happening in your spirit. Man, my goodness, Rakato sata. There are prophets that will rise. There are the boros that who rise. They are racketting coolmns that rise. It is time to not just talk about history bracket, I can talk racket evasiata. That you're all tasin a sabah will be bondying fire, flames of fire, flames of fire. You go to church on Sunday, and no devil can't stands. Not just by acting and playing games. You have the con cost Podians of the things of the spirit. God can't trust you with the destinies of men. You have access on posing the spirits received, manifest this farm, this wisdom, see manifest his fab. His weisdom. Listen, can I tell you many people talk about wealth and prosperity, and this is one of the things that has distracted people from loving Jesus. You have not experienced prosperity yet. Until you walk this part with the spirit, you will lay up gold as dust and it will be as if you went to meet it. Have a list, you believe me, most of the people who move around is because they do not know God. When God walks with you, when he is done with you, look at what he did with Solomon. Sit down. Let me give you this. We have to wrap up. I want you to write, like your destiny depends on it. Is it possible to know God? Yes, God again in the question to make us know him? Because knowing Him is connected to our accessing power, is connected to our faith. Working is connected to our doing exploits in our world. There are three dimensions knowing God, and this will wrap up my teaching tonight. Are you ready? The first dimension in your quest to know God is that you must understand and know his nature and his character. This is the first dimension. Whilst God is in finite, there is no such of the vastness of his person. He has fragmented himself into three principal dimensions for our learning that every believer in this side of God's kingdom who desires to know God, he is taken away the vagueness. You can methodically it says, let him that glory a glory in peace. That he understand that and knowed me. Man can know God. The first dimension to the knowledge of God is the knowledge of his nature and his character. Please write. The Bible is filled with experiences where God revealed his character. In Exodor chapter that three eighteen and nineteen, we have to be fast about this. Exodus started three eighteen and nineteen. Allelujah. It was Moses who prayed a very sincere prayer in. The previous chapters before eighteen he said, show me your way. Then when we get to verse eighteen, he says, I beseech this, show me your glory. How did God answer that prayer? Verse nineteen he says, I will make my goodness. Everybody say goodness. The goodness of God is an aspect of his glory. Do you know that this was the formula that was given to the nation of Israel, that every time their enemies came, and it was sure that defeat was imminent. There was a chance that they made in the spirit. You are good, and your messy end yours forever. They invoked his goodness, and it's messy, and it's like two ingredients that when it lands upon the earth, victory must come even too, the un deserving. The goodness of God. In Isaiah chapter forty twenty eight to thirty. Isaiah forty twenty eight to thirty, hast thou not known? Hast thou not heard? The Everlasting God watched this. Now, the creator of the ends of the earth, he fainted not. This is giving you an understanding of the character of God. He is not weary. These things that are common with men do not happen with God. There is no such of his understanding. Twenty nine. He giveth power to the faint, and to them that have no mighty increased strength. Thirty Even the youth shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall that one. Let's try the next verse. But they that wait upon the Lord, they shall renew their strength. Now God gives strength to people who are weary, because He himself does not get weary. These are the things you need to know about God. The nature of God, the attributes of God. I think one of the most concise descriptions of God's nature was as revealed by the Psalmist. When you read the entire text of Some one or three, it is a profound. Revelation, the most concise capture of the various attributes of God. Bless the Lord all my soul and all that is within me. Bless his holy name. Bless the Lord all my soul. Vers two. Let's run and forget not. His benefits, And he lists six of those benefits number one. Verse three, Who forgiveth your iniquity, who he led all your diseases, was four, who redeemed your life from destruction, Who crowned thee with loving kindness and tender mercies. Who satisfied your mouth with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the Egos. Then, when you read verse three, says the Lord executed righteousness and judgment for all. That are oppressed. So you can learn God by his character. You can learn God by the attributes, the things that he's doing. He made known his ways to Moses, his answers to the children of Israel. A huh. The Lord is merciful, say merciful. The Lord is gracious. Say gracious, the Lord is slow to anger. So if you come and meet me and say apostle, God is mad at you, and he says you will die tomorrow. I respect your prophecy, but then my understanding of the character of God, that God is slow to anger. There is enough time for me and God to do a discussion. There is enough time for me to repent for find that I am alive. The understanding of the nature of God takes away here. I judge prophecy by the knowledge of the nature of God. Is someone learning now. This is what gives you stability and maturity in the speed. If you do not know God, men who aren't in his stead can mislead you. When the prophet came, I met has a Caiah. He said, has a Caiah, I brought you a word from the Lord. Put your house together. You will not recover from this sickness. He said, I respect you. I know you are a great prophet, but leave me on God. There is something I know about him. He turned his face and said, God, Remember I know that you are messy for God, and you tied your messy to time, so that every morning it is renewed like time. Where did you keep the messy? And God said, suddenly, oh, that was what bland Batam, You're new, he said, that son of David. If it is true, you are the son of David. If it's true, you are God. That messy is connected to you. Have mercy on me? Is someone learning now when you know God fere leaves. Truly it does the character of God. God is not just a judge mental God waiting to destroy everybody. The Bible says, He knows our frame. He understands that we are weak. There is a hell, this system of accommodation for a weakness in the economy of God with men. He knows. That's why the psalmist can go back to God and saying, insane and iniquity. Did my mother conceive me, creating me a clean heart, he says, and renew a right spirit from within me. Do you know God that much? Do you know God that much? It is inconsistent with God's ways to judge you for the mistakes of others, the mistakes of your father and your father's father. You see that there is a law that transgenerational iniquity can have an effect on people. But you see when Jesus came here revealed that that is not God's best. It is based on that knowledge. You can cast that thing and say, whatever happened with my father, I don't have to be a victim. There is something about the nature of God that can bring me out of that. Who's seeing that this man was born? Was it him or his father? Jesus said neither, But this has happened. That the glory of God would be revealed. When you say you are matured Christian, it's not just because of the time you have spent in church. These are the things that frame your spiritual stamina. You see that. So when you say God does not like you, you'll become a prayer request for me. I pray for you that God will bring you to a higher level of understanding. If God says he's going to bless one hundred people here, I begin to pray for the remaining ninety nine. Because one position is taken already. It says I have loved you with a never lasting love, ever lasting love, and with my loving Except you're not a Christian. You have to believe this. The world will bully you out of your confidence if you do not know God. We'll live in a world today where based on where you come from, who your father is or is not. The social media has their own system of pulling you out of your confidence. Complex will destroy you as a man of God. You will travel across the globe and people will. Look at you, and they will they will call you by your kinds of names. But not when you know Him. Not when you know Him. The greatest tatles any man can have on earth is to be the son of God. It is a very superior status. I may never have a chance to be called barrista. I may never have a chance to be called president of a nation. I may never have a chance to be called the ambassador of a nation. I may not have any chance to be called His Royal Highness. But there is a status that is greater and higher than any sons of God. It says, now are we the sons of God? And it does not yet appear what we shall be like. But the greatest revelation of the nature of God is found in one John four seven to twelve. Let's read together, beloved, It says, let us love one another for the love for love is of God. Watch this, and everyone that loveth is born of God, and knowd God and does what? So the ultimate measure of your knowledge of God is your love life, not enlightenment. The zenith of your transformation is the health of your love life, not the level of your spiritual illumination. There are many people who have access to mysteries, but their love life is deads eight. He that loveth not know it not God? Read it? He that love it not know it not God? Why? For God is love. It's as simple as that. So you love God, but you hate the brethren. Something is wrong with that orientation. The Bible says that the knowledge of God at its senith connects you to His love. That means the more I know God, the more I grow in the things of God, the more I find myself loving Him and loving his creation. There are men of God who only use their members. They do not love them. There are politicians who only use their people, they do not love them. Do not tell me you know God. I will test your love life. There are people who wish the downfall of others, wish the destruction of churches, wish the destruction of other people within the body. No, if you love Jesus Christ, it is not in the Greek and the Hebrew and the Rahma, and whatever the Bible says. He that does not love God does not know God. Your love life must be affected. This is true. How do I know you are growing in the spirit. I don't just look at his power, the highest index for measuring love, greater than every other thing. The Bible begins to describe. The qualities of love in First Corinthians, stating, and he talks about all of those things. Love is pasient, love is kind, love is humble. Are you saying now, so when the Bible leads the nine gifts of the Spirit is actually one manifestation love expressed in those dimensions, because he gives us perspective. In First Corinthians thirteen, he says love is kind. So when he says the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, No, he's sayings from love comes all these expressions. More love, more power. Move when mine life mare love, more power. Morve you when my life. I want you to live with this revelation. God is love. That means the more of God I am becoming, the more of love. This is why I love my name. Do you know that's the meaning of my name? Selman means a way to love. What a good name? What a good name? How do you carry such a name and hates people? No, I love Jesus with all my heart, and believe me, I love His people with all my heart. That is why I would not manipulate them. That is why I would not use them for gain. I love them too much. I would not come and lie and deceive them and play games with them. Instead of telling people stop stealing, stop doing all of these things, just bring people to the revelation of the love of God. And there are things that when the love of God is at work in you, it becomes evil to do to men. Are we together? Yes, So I would not come and manipulate you and just Proveessiah and say, bring out all your money and give me. There's nothing wrong in giving. Don't get me wrong. But from a standpoint of manipulation, you do not love God. I don't care what tongues you are speaking. You do not love God. Allelujah. In all your prayer, you must pray that the love of God in a higher dimension be shared a brought your heart by the Holy Ghost. Because when you love the Lord, do you know I can stay all night if this were all night, I would have taught you something about the nature of love. There are certain that only lovers get to. Even prayer warriors cannot get there. Even fasting giants cannot get there. If you actually touch that rem in the spirit is a love affair. The Bible says no eye has seen. Is that in your Bible no ear has heard, neither has it come into the heart of man what God has in store, Not for everybody, for damn that love him. There is a level that you love the Lord to a point where you earn and not that status in the spirit called the friend of God. Not everyone is a friend of God. And when you attaind that status in the spirit, part of the privileges that you enjoy is God will never do anything in a territory and a dispensation and not tell you shall I hide this from my friend Abraham. Are we learning the nature and the character God? The result of this is confidence and freedom from fear. Not freedom to live carelessly, not freedom to be licentious, but freedom that He loves me. And I am aware that He loves me. I am aware that God loves me. My goodness, if you're looking for a man who is loved by God, jealously loved. This is one man standing before you. I don't know about you, but I know he loves me. Listen. In marriage, the confidence of every bride, among other factors, is principally derived from the awareness. Of the love of her husband towards her women. Am I right on that? Yes, that when a woman is aware. That a husband loves her so jealously, there is a level of whether she's good enough for or not, whether she speaks well enough or not, whether she's educated or not. The greatest person whose love matters to her in the earth is a husband. So if you, as the bride of Christ, when you come into that knowledge of the depth of the love of that your husband, because every body is a bride in the spirit, male or female, you are called the pride of Christ. And the Bible says jealousy is the rage of a man. You want to see how powerful a man is. Touch the wife he loves, not the wife he married, the wife he loves. So it is this awareness of God's love that gives me the confidence to know that, Ye do I walk through the value of the shadow of death For me. It's not a Bible recitation it's being motivated by an awareness of God's love for me. I shall hear no evil, for thou art with me, it says, And your staff they comfort me. There are times that as I travel around the world, God granted me that grace. Sometimes truly speaking people can send me text messages and say, Apostle, please, I just had a vision. I saw you in a ghastly mode to accident. I saw something happening to you. Sometimes people reach you and say a personal I want you to pray. I just saw that your name was taken to a short And these are genuine people. They are not just people talking nonsense. These are people who have a track record with God. I know they are not lying. But every time I want to fear, love does not give me a chance to fear the confidence. That I have. Is it not in your Bible that He suffered no man to do them wrong? He reproved kings for their sake, saying, touch not my annointed, and do my prophits know how the consciousness of his character, his nature, It's been so engraved in my heart. It says, all that you have given me I have kept, and none is lost when you give Jesus anything, including your life. He's a keeper. He keeps faithfully. But I know whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to keep that which is committed. He only keeps that which is committed. I've handed over my life to him already. I don't intend to take it back. What then, is the basis of my fear? In fact, for me to. Leave his Christ, And even if I died, is still gain I have cheated life already from both ends. When I pray for longevity is not out of fear. My eternity is secured already. It's only that I need time because of the program of God as an expression of my love for Him for giving his all. When I pray for longevities, not from a standpoint of fear. I have been secured in His. Love already, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the coin onia, the sharing together, the participation, the fellowship of the spirit. Paul said, let it remain with you. Let the consciousness of the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Let the consciousness of the love of God and the sharing, the participation. You have come into oneness with the spirit, It says, let it dwell with you. Can I give you number two? What time do I have? We have to wrap up so that will come back. Allelujah. I think as you just stop here, I'll give you the remaining two. You are not afraid of going home later again? What suddenly happened to you? Take it down from me. Oh God, you are my God, and I will ever praise you. Oh God, you are my God, and I will never love you. Oh God, you aren't my God, and I will never follow. I have sought you in the morning, and I have learnt to walk in your ways. Step by step, you leave me, and I will follow you all of my days. Step bite step, you leave me, and I will follow you all of my days. Step bite step, you leave you, and you will follow you all of your days. Listen, he can lead you out of these generational causes. He can lead you out of the things that kept your father down. You watch your father sincere, but you went down. Your mother went down. You watch preachers around your community go down. If you can follow this good shepherd, he can lead you. He can lead you. Believe me, Step by step he leaves me, and now will follow you all of my days. I refuse to be confused about life and destiny. The one I gave my life to be a good shepherd. He does not abandon his sheep, even if it is in the night. The Bible says, while shepherds watch their flocks even by night. He does not just take care of you in the day when times are good. Even by night when you are confused, the good shepherd is still there, watch his flock by night. Prichard, hear me, there is a way out of this ministerial calamity. There is a way out of this financial crisis. Business man, hear me. You are in debt, but there is something about God you need to know. Going around just to keep collecting loan will compound your problems. Believe me, there is a way out. There is a way out. Jesus said, I am the way. I am the door. The door is the authorized access to any realm. The doi is the authorized access to any dimension. To the dimension of wealthy is the doll, dimension of ministerial exploit. He is the doll. Oh God, you are my God, and I will have praise you. Oh God, you are my God, and I will level love you. I will seek you with the morning I have learnt to walk in your way. Step by step. You leave me, and now follow you. All of my tail listen. Jesus said, come on to me, all ye that are weary, unheavy laden. He says, I will give you rest. That is his nature. He gives men rest. You cannot come to him, and he lives your life in trouble, even if your boat is as boisterous. When he comes, he brings shalom peace, Come to your life. I will be still and know you are God my soul. Be steve and know you worre God. I will be still and know you God my soul, besting, and know I just sank by life for you. When I found the nature of God, it gave me rest. God is mighty. If he speaks, it is final. It is not just final because he is God. It is final because he is the only God. Allelujah. I was teaching last week in Portacot I think it was and one of the things I taught the. People is that God does not have authority. God only gives authority. God cannot have authority because the nature of authority is that someone higher. Than you must give you, and there is no one higher than him. He has all power, but not authority. If God has authority, there are three things that happen the moment authority comes to you. One, you must acknowledge an authority higher than you, a person higher than you. Two, there is jurisdiction because with authority comes limitation. So when you say God has authority, then you need to tell us the jurisdiction. Of his power and who owns the rest? Are we together? Jesus only had authority when he became a man and submitted to God. But as God, he has all power and no authority. It is men that have both power and authority because authority is the legitimacy. To use power. If you have power alone, your use of it is illegal. You must have authority to be allowed to use power. So if an unbrother has gone, he has power, but no authority. If a military man holds a gun, he has power and authority. That's why he does not go to jail for shooting. Demons have power, but they do not have authority. Only the believer was given both power and authority. Allelujah. So every time you stand to question, say it and don't question power, question authority, question authority, question authority. I have to stop him. Tomorrow will take the two other attributes of God and then will connect it to your team, because you see, you cannot desire that does be open if you do not even know the one who holds the key of David. There is a mystery called the key of David. That is the key that opens the door that men cannot shut. He says, I am he that was dead and now he is alive, and I hold the keys. You know what that keys are? That when he opens the door. There are doors that when men open, men can shut. But when the holder of the Key of David opens the door, he says, no man can shut it. When he opened the prison door, no man. Could shut it. Allelujah. Yes, there are doors that men open, and men can choose to shut it. But there are doors that when he opens, it remains right upon your feet. We're going to pray. I want to encourage you do not miss any part of the sessions that are left. Because this is a pulled up of a spiritual understanding. It will cost you to be a person of Tatcho. We have examined the Apostolic model for growth from Statio in the spirit to have power with God and have revealed to you through that just one of the dimensions to knowing God, his character and his nature. I want you to turn it into prayer before I speak over your life and save Father. Take away here from my life, take away uncertainty from my life. Reveal yourself to me. Reveal your character afresh to me. Go ahead and pray. Someone is praying, someone is praying. Go ahead and pray. Pray, Lord, pray, pray, Lord, pray, pray upon my life. Will you bring Lord, pray, pray Lord, pray break. Upon my life your break now, bring low, bring bre lo pree, breathe. Upon my life. I receive, I'm mad at fast. Your pap. And alwaysdom till the nations cgesus lifted up Exalted. I receive, I'm mad at fats. Your pop. Alwaysdom till the nations cigesus. Lift at up. Glory five. So bring load, bring, bring lord, pray, bring upon my life. Pray Lord, pray, pray, Lord, bring pry from part my life. Till the nations sigesus lifted up. Take saut. Till the nations siegesus lifted up. Glorify the result of knowing God's nature and character is confidence and security. Confidence when you stand before the sick, when you stand as a prophet and say things that have not happened, and your life is at stick, it is because you know who sent you. If you do not know him, don't stand before Pharaoh. You will make it fool of yourself. Moses said, who shall I tell him has sent me? And he said, I am that I am. We stand bold before the nations to declare his counsel. We stand before the powers of darkness, and we announce the exdors of. God's people upon the understanding of his nature. It is not because we are extraordinary in ourselves, but we have found his. Integrity and better in his character. That God is not a man, that you should lie, not the son of man, that he should repent. That he is all powerful, and he is full of love. And by disunderstanding everything that has kept you in fear, hear me everything that has kept you limited, everything and that has refused to allow the God life, the reality of the life, and the power of the Christ to be made manifest in your life. I commanded to give way now in the name of Jesus Christ. There are many of us. Listen these kinds of apostolic conferences should happen more frequently around the southeast. Do you know why, because there will be men and women who can believe God to know that He has given them a mandate. And the fear of money, the fear of whether people will come dies when you know God. None of you signed a paper to tell us to act that you will come here. It took his knowledge of God that built faith in Him to be able to put this. There are no guarantees in life. Your guarantees God, not men. Men are very emotional, They vacillate. They can promise you today and disappoint you tomorrow. But those who trust in the Lord, the Bible says, they are black mount Zion that can never be shaken, but that in a bye that forever can I speak over your life further, in the name of Jesus, the grace that brings men. Into prophetic encounters, I came to release. That grace is one of the graces that I came to release upon someone. Because you need to have a very deep encounter with God. There are two more dimensions, and I will show you tomorrow. But in the name of Jesus, I pray for you from the depth of my heart. Let that annoyance, and let that increasing that draws men into the Holy of Holies, into the secret place. It saf blesses the man whom God causes to approach it. Like he did Moses. He prohibited the nation of Israel, but here he asks Moses to come. And now by the blood He's open to us that new one living way. Therefore, I think we are declared have supernatural encounters of the gold pie. Some of you, you go to bed tonight, you will have angelic visitations, visitations of the spirit. The blue prints of your destiny will be revealed to you, and the haziness around your Christian experience. Help those under the annointing in the name of Jesus, the haziness around your Christian experience, and commanded to furnish tonight for some of you to be on to you as it was help this woman. In Isaiah chapter six, verse one, it says, in the year that King Mosiah died, Aye Isaiah saw the Lord, the grace to see may be released on you. The grace to see shap katos kiatatospatah. Let me be released upon you. Help them, least let me be released upon you. Let me be released upon you that grace to see, that grace to encounter all. In the name of Jesus Christ. One more prayer. I see a dark shadow like a curtain resting on people's lives. Tomorrow, will have the time to pray and minister what I need to do this since God revealed it to me just like a veil. But it is shadow, not a material veil, and it's cast on people. And because of this, your mind has been blinded to spiritual things. You are not able to understand. You open the Bible, and yet you cannot see anything. Some of you are preachers, and you've been crying and said, Lord, open the eyes. Of my understanding. I want to pray mark Paru's see gebel la paraiata lacosiata ah. The assignment of the spirit of revelation is that your understanding becomes fruitful. I pray for you have that man in the name of Jesus, that fail that has shut upon your mind in the spirit, not allowing you to comprehend spiritual things. I fear of that fail. Now please help them, Please help them. Whether you're in chat or not, I fear of that fail Now in the name of Jesus. You know what I mean. There are many of you who will start understanding things you did not study from tonight. You will wake up and ophen the Bible and see that illumination superior life from heaven. Because there is an urgency for the sins to become mature. There is an urgency to attainst thatch in the spirit. We cannot take the nation sping weak in the spirit. We need to be people of capacity and power. Therefore, I pray for you all that it takes for your spirit man to be built. May it rest upon you now. May that increasing rest upon you. Now, The Bible says, seeing then that we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin that dot easily beset us, and to run with perseverance the race that is set before us. The Lord is asking me to pray one last prayer, my apologists, for stretching you what I must pray it. Watch this. You love the Lord with all your hearts. But the Lord is showing me that there are people, There are all kinds of things that have held you bound, addictions, habits. You want to serve the Lord acceptably. But there are things tying you down, and it has kept you in fear. Will like go to hell? Can I leave a victorious life? I want to minister to you in the name of Jesus, wherever you are everything that God gives man, he gives man control and dominion over the moment he cannot control it that a spirit has come to manipulate you. Therefore, I declare every influence that gives you bound, keeps your flesh bound. I decline, be released. Now, be released now the spirit of slumber, clottony losts of every kind, and take shots of a task theata be released from it. Now, be released from it now, in the name of Jesus, that you step into an authentic Apostolic order of Christian experience. In the name of Jesus, chrime amen. So let me make the request this night. Please, tomorrow our teaching will also double as a miracle service. And understand there's a morning session and a night session. I'm shoppers, so I could come to speak on that, but particularly for tomorrow nights as I would usually do. Please, I want you to invite everyone is going to be a miracle service and impartition service. There will be a release of grace. Is as much as possible to invite the servants of God to come. God grants us this grace so that there can be sharing in the spirit. Are we together? It's not about who is bigger than who. It is a privilege for us to be distributors of these possibilities. Businessmen. Invite them captains of industry. And then may I request that you come with your requests, and you can also take that of your loved ones who may not be here anywhere across the world. You can write it down and come. We'll wait to be praying over it here and to trust God for grace. But there are some of you you have carried these presence tonight. It will not leave you the work of the spirit in you till tomorrow. Some of you may not even be able to sleep this night. You will wake up and pray in the way that you have never prayed, because there is an inner working of the spirit. May the Lord bless you in Jesus's mighty name, with pray
