Glory be to the Lord. Lift your hands to heaven and give him all the praise. Give him all the praise, give him the honor. Father, will bless you. We bless you. We bless you for your presence, for your power in this place. We give you praise. We acknowledge, and we reverence you, the mighty God, to do all great things. To you be all the glory. Someone gave him quality thanks. Let him know how greatful you are. Let him know how thoughtful you are. Let him know how intentional you are. Father, we give you praise. Chaprantes si kapranto kaparadu Siata says, Let everything that has breath praised the Lord. Give him thanks online, on site, give him thanks, young old, give him things. Now. Ask him for an encounter tonight. My heart is opened like never before. Give me an encounter by your spirit. Let wisdom be poured into my destiny. Let direction comes speedily. Let tonight's word come as a word of hope, as a word of prophecy, as an importation of faith. Faith for the Johnny I had sharper. They gave a lot of bad oh. Oh oh, I see them arresting in. This lago, I see. Antaus of wisdom, mantos of power. I see them resting with lag. Antau of wisdom, mantous of power. To night, I. See them resting in this. I see I see in spirit of the Living God. You are the spirit that has come from the Father. You are the one who opens our eyes and shows us things to come. You are the one who makes the Word come alive. You are the Coustodian of wisdom. You are the Coustodian of power. Tonight we submit our minds, we submit our hearts to the influence of your person, and we pray that you will breathe upon us. We pray in the name of Jesus that this world will come to shift us to new dimensions in the spirit. Prepare our hearts tonight, and we avow us always that in this place Jesus will be and remain revealed. Jesus will be and remain glorified. But it's in Jesus name we pray. Give Jesus a big handclap and you may be seated. Alleh Luiah, God bless you good evening. Everyone is good to have us in church. The ssam Is said, I was glad when they said, unto me. Let us go to the House of God. Many things happen in the House of God. The House of God is the place of wisdom. The House of God is a place where we find help. He said, the Lord here you in the day of trouble. The God of Jacob defend you. Send you help from his sanctuary. You find help when you come to the House of God. It's a place of hope and healing. You find direction by the spirit, it says doub shall hear a voice from behind saying this is the way. Walk he in it and you will buy it. Find rest for your soul. It's a place of empowerment where you receive all kinds of spiritual investments upon your life that make you effective as a weakness. It's a place where you are sharpened like the arrows from a man's quiver, ready to do much for the kingdom. So when we come to the House of God, is beyond a male convergence of believers for a religious activity. Where here as proof that we love him, as proof that we trust his leadership, as proof that we know the power that is contained in his world with respect to its ability to make too more to refine to empower and on behalf of Jesus. I welcome you tonight as always will be an extra ordinary experience for you. If you believe in a receiver, would you shout a loud amen. Let's give our family online a big God bless you. Let them know that distance is no barrier in Jesus' name, A big welcome to all our international guests. We take the time to salute all those who come in from the. Aspora because we value and respect the sacrifice of this stance, the time waiting hours at various airport just to make it for an encounter and ware house of honor. And so I want to say thank you particularly to our international guest. The Lord bless you and lift you in the name of Jesus Christ. Many have come in already coming in for the convention. We do welcome you in the name of Jesus. Very especially. We have two important persons in our midst one. It's a dear friend, great man of God. I love him with all my heart, particularly for his humility of heart. Reverend Ike Wednesday. Please give him a good bless you. God, bless you, God, bless you. Thank you so much, Sir, San honor to have you in our midst. The second is his Royal Majesty all the way from Ghana, Nana Drollo Bosso. I hope I got that right. Blessing say you sir, thank you, Please be seated. And it's very interesting to know that he was quite a close friend to a daily revered mentor of mind, late Dr Miles Monroe. Such a joy to know that they shared very wonderful moments together. The Lord bless you well, honor to have you and your team. I understand he came with a team, a team of past and leaders. Do I have them around? Could you just indicate by wave of hand? God bless you, thank you, thank you so very very much. The Lord will honor you. In the name of. Jesus Christ, Alleluiah. It's three days to the General Assembly. We're happy, three days exactly to this wonderful moment of encounter, and it's something to be happy about. I'm excited myself for what God will do in my life. It will start from me, then it will reach you. Allelujah. Praise the name of the Lord. So this is one final announcement to a global community. We're happy and excited to be hosting this historic and generational move of God. By now you know that it's beyond a coin onial convention. It's only a privilege for us to be that boat, that donkey that will lead to the triumphant entry. I believe that this will define a very prophetic season for the church, not only in Nigeria, but the church in Africa. And this is one of the reasons for which we are excited. All things are set, almost set. We know that God will do us good. Is going to be an eventful week for us in the name of Jesus Christ. We've prayed, we've prepared, We've given us all and our best, and the horse is for sure prepared for battle. But I can tell you the God of safety, the God of wonders, is about to rest his hand and his glory upon us like never before. You believe that. Say amen. Now, just two or three quick announcements and then I'll get to the word for tonight. First is concerning the viewing centers. I promised us last week that we're put in a word concerning the viewing centers. There are many people across the globe who have requested to set up viewing centers for the convention. And we put up a team of people together to come up with a system so that we do it orderly and by God's grace, we have that. Set. So here's what you will do. Media, I think if you already just give us a link. So this is what will happen. All of those who are interested in certain of the viewing centers for the Convention across any and all nations of the Earth, please do well to scan the QR code. It will take you to a page where we just have you complete a few details and then we have penned down a few guidelines to help you so that we're orderly and we are efficient. It's a seamless process and in minutes you'd complete everything. And thereafter you have our blessings to be able to set up the viewing center so that it becomes an extension of what God is doing here to the nations of the earth. We bless it. We decree and decline the name of Jesus Christ, that many through the viewing. Centers will encounter the same grace, the same power as it is here one day or command stand and testify that I will watched and I followed from the viewing center and I contacted Grace. You believe that for them, say amen, Allelujah all right, So that's about the viewing center. Next is by the grace of God. Because it's a five day convention, we have decided to support particularly within our city with bosses and allelujah. So we have worked in partnership with the Security and Transport Department, and they are a number of routes as you see displayed. We want to ensure that we're as much as possible support as many people. There's a lot of bosses. I think it's over maybe three hundred, three hundred and fifty or there about buses of this sort as you see. So we're making sure that we make that available across all the routes. As you see the Yanya Mara Araba Massac axis, then we have the Lubei Airport road axis, we have the Kuboa Day Day axis, and then we have the Gago Lada axis and please take advantage of this. The shuttles will be daily all through the. Time of the convention. I hope that this becomes a well appreciated contribution to be able to help as many so that by doing that, it's also an expression of the love of Jesus reaching to those who might not find it as easy, you know, to transport themselves. Every day, we have a total of eight sessions beginning from Wednesday night and ending at Sunday night. And it's only responsible and thoughtful of us to be mindful of some of the people who might not yet have the wherewithout to stretch that far, and so as a communication of love and responsibility, we have done. This and we hope that it will be a great relief for many. If you're excited again, let's give Jesus a big hand clap, and then please do send the word for the sake of those who might not be able to know this. You know would announce it at the stadium, but at least because it's available right from day one, So please make sure you send word to us many God will bless and help us in Jesus' precious name. Ali Lujah, praise God. Now, every one of the. Sessions beginning from Wednesday to Sunday, a final session has been built tailor made for maximum spiritual impact, from the choice of the speakers to the structure of the service, where people who are very intentional about maximum spiritual impact and you can be sure that every session has been so designed to incrementally progressively push us towards the zenith of what God has preordained for this convention. And so let me encourage everyone. It's a moment of spiritual emphasis. Take it as a retreat. It will stretch aw ay bit, but then it is for our profiting. The Lord will bless us in Jesus' name, And I have good news for you. It is, it is, it is quite. It's quite a wonderful one to know that, by the grace of God, our Mother and the Lord Mommigio will also becoming allelujah. It's it's quite a profound, profound honor. I don't know, I don't know what we have done that God has shown us this favor. It's not only a blessing to have our Father and the Lord, but by the grace of God, our beloved Mother and the Lord, matriarch of matriarchs, will also be there, and by God's grace, she'll be speaking a motherly blessing and just speaking over a generation. I thought you'd be more excited than you are showing hallnlujah. So that's the first good news and the second good news is in a way that is usually not the norm. But the grace of God, our. Father, that the Jill will be starting the convention hallelujah. Now that's that's something that again I don't know, I don't know why God has decided to do this towards Usually he just comes in any session. Once you are inviting someone of that capacity, you just clear any day. That's usually how it works. Just keep any day open for when his schedule will be able to make it. But we're profoundly honored to have this so Wednesday night, it's literally going to be a time bomb. As we start. Our father and our mother and the Lord, Daddy and mommy Jill will be their life with us speaking and profess I'm releasing graces. Come on, Cononia. Are you excited? Now? You know why we sing Hosannah. You know why we shout Hosannah. God has shown us help where people marvelously helped by God. So send word around. Let it be an extra ordinary encounter in Jesus' name. Allelujah. Please you may be seated now very quickly. I want to set a foundation for the things that God is going to be doing. I owe you and our global family responsibility to prepare our hearts, and very quickly I just pen down a few things that I believe will help us maximize the experience of the convention as a charge, and you may want to take this down and listen attentively. Most times people attend very destiny defining prophetic programs of all sorts within a country like ours and across the globe, and at the end of it, all that they have is a memorial that they attended a great meeting where they had so and so attend, and there's no evidence of change, transformation, increase, advancement in their lives. They only have photos to show they were there, but there's nothing portent from a spiritual standpoint that attests to the fact that they really met with God. And I thought that in preparing we shouldn't just do billboards publicity materials. I think the greatest platform that needs preparation is a heart. Do you agree with that? And so very quickly I want to, by way of summary, just help you with a few keys to maximize your experience at the convention. This is not my sermon tonight, but I just wanted to do that to lay a foundation. Number one. The first way to maximize a prophetic destiny defining convention like God has granted us the privilege to host. The first skis to come early, come on time. Every moment that's been designed for that program was designed by God with you in mind. The first way to maximize conferences like this is to come early. In prophetic seasons, timing matters. Come early, don't come imagine you come in when we're sharing the grace or when we're deep into the teachings. You'll hardly be able to connect to the flow of what God is doing. Everything from the prayer, the worship, the testimony, is the announcement, the various ministrations culminating to the ministry of the world, the prophetic blessings, until the benediction. It was so designed by the wisdom of God for maximum spiritual impact. And so when you want to maximize a spiritual experience, the first thing you need is timing. Come early and come on time. Connect early, and connect on time. Number two, very quickly, participate in every aspect of the service. That's the second way to maximize prophetic meetings. Participate in every aspect of the service. Do not select the part of the service you want. You see it's pride, and in fact, quite honestly, is foolishness, because don't forget that the chief host of any prophetic program is God himself, and he's the one who has put various packages spread across the various activities that make up that meeting, And so it's unwise for you to cannally select. Sometimes your greatest point of profit in that meeting will not even come from the salmon. It may come from the worship. Sometimes it may come from the opening prayer. One scripture someone will share will rest upon your heart, and that becomes for you the compass to define a new season for someone. It may be the final word that the Man of God brings in passing as is closing the service. So you want to maximize prophetic meetings, you must be determined and be willing to not only be there but participate. Generally, believer us are careless when it has to do with designing the flow of spiritual things in a meeting. So until the Man of God, whoever he or she is, steps in, they do not really believe that the service is worth their rapt attention. So through the praise session, the worship, the testimonies, you find some just idling away, and you know that their minds are not They are not fixated on Jesus until the Great Man of God or the Great Woman of God, as respectful as that is, when they show up. Now they try to give the attention, but that's not how spiritual things work. He is the chief host, and every aspect of the service is deserving of your rapt attention. Number three, to maximize spiritual experiences, be open hearted and malleable towards the ministry of the world. Be open hearted and malleable towards the ministry of the world. In other words, you must take the posture of a learner. Be open hearted and malleable, pendable. Towards the ministry of the world. You'll never maximize prophetic meetings when you come with an arrival an mog a champion's mentality. If you understand what I mean. The Bible says to receive with meekness the word and grafted word. Most times, particularly for those of us who are in the ministry, when we come for prophetic programs like this, because of the nature the ambience, you know, and you know how historic such meetings sometimes we come with, you know, this air of pride. Let me see if I can learn one or two things. That's the way of mediocres. Those who are champions in the kingdom know that there's always room for more. Paul at the zenith of his Apostolic ministry said, this one thing I do forgetting the things that are behind me and reaching forth for the things that are performing. He says, I press, I press towards the mack of the high calling in Christ. Are well together. You know those who are. Champions, because there is an ever increasing appetite for more. Paul at the zenith of his Apostolic ministry said that I may know him. This is someone who had such level of spiritual understanding that even Peter had to command that. He's saying, since understanding was very hard and deep, be open hearted and be malleable towards the ministry of the world. This is more important if you have not yet obtained results in the areas where you desire results at. It's even understandable if you have achieved so much in the kingdom. At least we can give the benefit of doubt. But usually those who are stiff and very inflexible to the ministry of the world are those who do not yet have a testing results to show pray the name of the Lord. So it's important for you to be open hearted and to be malleable towards the ministry of the world. Take and maintain the posture of a learner, the posture of a student. Did you know. The number of pastors who I know generally as a principle, when they come for prophetic meetings like this, they make sure they hide away from any opportunity to either put them in front or put them anywhere. Not because there's anything wrong with honor. They just believe that sometimes that formality becomes an interruption. They want to hide somewhere where they can shout, they can scream, they can express themselves without the camera capturing their face. And there are people like that, champions in ministry, business politics. They are not interested in all the paraphernalia around ministry. They just want to hide somewhere and do business with. God in deep waters. And so you must be open hearted and malleable towards the ministry of the world. Next will be number four, ready teaching you how to maximize prophetic meetings. Temporarily, suspend the desire for excessive comfort, Temporarily suspend the desire for excessive comfort. In other words, be willing to make sacrifices with joy. Still is the same statement, Temporarily suspend the desire for excessive comfort and then be willing to make sacrifices with joy. No body steps into a prophetic meeting. Are we together desiring comfort? No? You are not going into a five star hotel. You are not. It's not some it's not some kind of global presentation somewhere. It's an encounter. Are we together now? A woman who is ready to give bed to a child would not sit and be asking you know what what and what do I want? I want a certain kind of ambience. No, her focus is on pushing to make sure that both mother and baby are fine. And that's the attitude you must have. Temporarily suspend the desire for excessive comfort. I remember many years ago, when we travel across the north, across the west, going for conferences and you know, conventions. We were not concerned about comfort. It was the least of the things. Sometimes we arrive there and quite honestly, because we are arrived so late, the cow would have had to park somewhere. We didn't. We will have time to take our bath or do whatever we just said. You know what, I'm not. I'm a neat person, but this one is a bargain with destiny. I would miss my timing. I can take my bath later on. I mean, we just rush and sit because we just arrived late and we have to connect. Receive first. After we receive and cry and shout, then we can go and now bath with joy, knowing that there's something on our head. Water cannot wash. They see that now prays the name of the Lord. So sometimes the obsession for excessive comfort can rob men of an opportunity. Reminds me of when I would attend rain hard bonkers crusades or blessed memory. In fact, those days there were no cheers, if you know anything about his crusades, no cheers. You would stand there and sorry for you you came, elie. You would stand there for hours, and by the time you turn back, there's a sea of people behind you. You can go left, you can't go right. The ord you will follow to go out is already blocked. So you just stand there. And many of you have heard me humorously saying that in one of the days, there was a pregnant woman who was standing close to me. I'm telling you, and this woman will get tired. I pitied her myself, and there was a time she even leaned on me, and I was stem there, said madam, I'm not this is not my responsibility. I mean, how I didn't play a role in this, in this arrival, I mean, I'm here for my destiny. And well, let me just assume the song is a prophet too, So I will play midwife like Eli. But that was the price that was paid. When a generation becomes a valley obsessed with comfort, they miss spiritual things. The cave of Adullam is not the place of excessive comfort. The wilderness is not the place of excessive comfort. The grace that is gotten in the willderness is what takes you to the palace. When you get there, then the palace is already designed for maximum comfort. It's someone learning now, so temporarily suspended desire for excessive comfort, be willing to make sacrifices with joy. The next key very quickly, are you ready deliberately refuse and reject offense? Oh this is a big one. You must deliberately refuse and deliberately reject offense as an act of your will. One of the ways I know that certain cheats people when they step into prophetic seasons, and I'm going to be speaking along that line is the spirit of offense. Haven't done all, haven't prayed, haven't fasted. Just because you came and someone sat on your seat. You now look at the person and say, let me tell you. I was a cultist before I got born again, and then I also did tekwando. I did all of that. And just because my mind is renewed does not mean my abilities are lost. If you don't start from my seat and you start creating a lot of problems, I will beat you. You start using all kinds of things. No, make up your mind as an act of your will. I reject offense. Say that after me. You're going to say that many times in the course of this service, so practice it early. Say I reject offense. Allelujah. Amazing how people can miss something that is transgenerational, something that is holy and powerful from heaven. And because sometimes of petty issues, very petty issues, your spouse spoke to you in a way that should not be And because of that, every importation from the day falls on a close head a way together. Someone called you broader man of God instead of a Poston man. Of God or profhet man of God. And simply because the title was not added, you lose out on everything God desired to do. Shouldn't be shouldn't be away together. So make up your mind to deliberately refuse and reject offense. The final key that I'll give you. Remain ever thankful and ever joyful, Ever thankful, and ever joyful. These are the keys I know from scripture and from the little experience I've heard being part of very prophetic programs. Again, I recap very quickly, come early, come on time for. All the sessions. To participate in every aspect of every service. Three, be open hearted and malleable towards the ministry of the world. You must take and maintain the posture of a learner. Number four, Temporarily suspend the desire for excessive comfort. You must be willing to make sacrifices and that with joy. Next, deliberately refuse and reject offense. And then finally, remain ever thankful. And ever grateful. If you receive these words, turning to prayer in one minute the name of Jesus, turn it to prayer in one minute, blessed be the name of the Lord. Turn it to pray in one minute. Thank you Jesus, that which has been a portion for me in prophecy I receive. I post show myself to receive MAXIMALI for this in Jesus' name, we pray. Now, let's go to the world for tonight. Tonight's word still connects to what God is doing, particularly in this season. Tonight we're looking at some one or two one verse thirteen. I title my exhortation for tonight descigning Chiros seasons. Discigning Chiros seasons. I want to show you what happens and what to do when your season comes. Designing Cairos seasons some one hundred and two please, And then verse thirteen, the Bible says, thou shall arise and have messy upon Zion, and have messy upon coin Onia, and have messy upon Joshua Selman. It says, for the time to favor her. Yea, the set time is come. You receive that shout amen. So it says thou shall arise and have mercy upon Zion for the time to favor her, even the set time as come. In Luke chapter nineteen, when you read from verse forty two to forty four. It's a popular scripture, particularly in this house. The second reason why Jesus wept. There are at least two reasons, according to scripture, why Jesus wept. The first reason, like I've taught you in this house, is found in John eleven thirty five. The Bible says Jesus wept at the tomb of Lazarus. And the reason why he wept, The Bible says, he wept as an expression of love. They said, ah, how he loved him, because his cousin Lazarus had died. And so Jesus wept. The second reason, according to scripture, is found in Luke chapter nineteen forty two to forty four. The Bible says Jesus stood over Jerusalem, and overlooking Jerusalem he began to weep. And the reason why he wept. He said, Ifdao hast known even now, at least in this dy day. The things which belong to your peace, but now. They are hid from your eyes verse forty three. For the days shall come upon you, that your enemies shall cast a trench about you, and compass you around and keep you in on every side. And here's the reason they shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee, and they shall not leave thee one stone upon another, because thou knowest not the time of thy visitation. Because you do not know the time of your visitation, there are consequences that will come. Upon your life, extending to your children. Allelujah. A few thoughts very quickly. Number one, God is a God of times and a God of seasons. The Bible is very clear, unmistakably clear, as to the fact that God is a god of times and seasons. Now, God does not dwell in time. But God is a God of times and a God of seasons. Simple but profound scripture. God is a god of times, and he gives a god of ceases. In Genesis chapter. One, when you read from verse fourteen, the creation story or recreation story as we call it. The Bible says, among the many. Aspects of creation, God said, let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide day and to divide nights. And let those lights be for signs. Let those lights before seasons, let those lights before days, and let those lights before years. So the concept of times and seasons was not a scientific concept. It was not just a geographic concept. It was a divine concept. God himself was the initiator of this fragmentation process of day and night, times and seasons. Remember in Genesis, chapter eight and verse twenty two, when Noah reared an altar and it rose up as a sweet smelling savo, and God began to speak blessing upon the earth. It says, while the earth remaineth see time and harvest, and we still Bible students cold and heat, summer and winter. Then he says, day and night shall not cease. There will be oscillations of these seasons. Jesus, when he walked upon the earth, said, I must walk the walks of Him that sent me whilst it is day. He connected timing even to his assignment. He said, for the night cometh when no man can walk again, allelujah. God is a god of times and seasons. He does not dwell in time. He lives in a realm. Above and beyond time, a ram above and beyond eternity. But he operates with. Man, particularly as far as the Earth is concerned. It is governed by the law of times and seasons. Number two. All human activities upon the earth happen within the frame of times and seasons. Make reference to my teaching the law of seasons. All human activities bar no on all human activities upon the earth happen within the frame of times and seasons. Please give us ecles yes, Sis. Chapter three and verse one. The teacher intelligently presented this, and he said, to everything, there is a season our Bible, students, and a time to every purpose once it is under the heaven. Look at that statement very carefully. To everything, there is a season and a time to every purpose under the earth. Every human activity happens within the frame of times and seasons. Now it's not new to us, but for the purpose of our discussion tonight, the word time is a very profound word, and sometimes in study of scripture you need to bend backwards and look into the Hebrew and the Greek connotations to be able to help your understanding. And that's what we're going to do. There are a number of words, particularly Hebrew words, that are translated time in the English translation. They're all used as time, but some of them do not use time. They don't mean time as in the passage of time. Some of the words that are translated time mean dispensations. Some of the words that are translated time mean ages, eons, some of them mean chronological passage of time, and then some of them just mean a lot of things. But for the purpose of our discussion, we're going to look at two main Hebrew words that have been translated as time to guide our understanding. The first of them, like you. Know, is the word chronos. Chronos is spelled c h r o nos chronos. The word chronos translated time means the sequential time that means hour, minutes, seconds, the passage of time. When you use time as the word chronos, it deals with the sequential passage of time every second, microsecond, minute, every hour, translating to days to months. That's called chronos. When you deal with time from its sequential dimension, you are dealing with chronos. Are we together? It's this simple enough for you to understand. Allelujah. So the Bible says in some one O two from verse thirteen, we find the two words who are going to be playing We've captured in the same scripture one O two thirteen, thou shall arise have messy upon Zion for the time that word time. There is the word chronos, the passage of time, the sequence of time from seconds to minutes, to hours, to days, to months to years, two decades, for the time to favor her. Then he now says the set time. If you don't understand this from the Hebrew connotation, you will think this was a vain repetition. Why would you say for the time to favor har, Yeah, the sad time is come. He'll have just said the time to favor ha is come, and that would have been enough, But he was saying something entirely different. He says the time to favor her. Then he says the sat time. That expression set time leads us to the second Hebrew expression is the word hiros kai rschiros. For many people in this house and in the body of Christ, these are not new terminologists at all, but it's important to structure it so that it falls in well as fast a discussion. Tonight is concern now. The word chiros doesn't just talk about the passage of time. It is rather concerned with very defining seasons. The word chiros means of portuned time. It also means a defining season or portuned time. It then means a defining season. So every time I teach on times, I like to give an illustration making reference to say a medical student or a student in college. When a student gets admission, you know, every lecture and every moving from one hundred level, two hundred level and so on and so forth, that's chronos for the students. Let's use someone in secondary school or high school as we call it now. In Nigeria and many parts of Africa, we have what we call the junior yex the West African you know examination and then senior examination, and those are principal determinants. They determine whether the student is able to make it to the high institution of learning or otherwise. So a student can complete the secondary school or high school as it is known, but because he's unable to pass his s SSEE or his Senior YX, he's unable to move to a higher institution. Now, every lecture and all the exams that he writes from say JS one, as we know JS two, JS three up until SS three, those ones are chronos because they add up to defining that special season away together. It doesn't matter if the student god a a a all through, provided he failed YX, all other scores will not suddenly supplement. He still will have to mark time. Are we together now? So when that student is writing that exam, it is not like every other exam he's written because. Of the season. It is a chiros moment because it's a defining season. It literally can define the next trajectory of his life. Our lives are broadly separated from a timing standpoint into chronos and chiros. Now what happens is that chronos is the building block for cairos. The way you take advantage of every day, every moment, is a preparation for maximizing those prophetic, defining seasons. And I tell you this but the privilege of the little experience and from the study of scripture, in a man's lifetime, there are not many chiroses. In fact, I can boldly say. I think arguably that in a man's lifetime you may not have more than ten of these chirosis may join life defining seasons. The meaning of that but is no matter. How you excel in every other aspect of your life and your days, if you do not know how to discern these defining moments. The best English expression I know is to call it a defining moment, because it sustained such power to literally define the next season of your life, the next season of your life. If you're following, say amen. So. Chronos talks about the sequential time, a passage of time, and then Cairos talks about an opportune time, a defining season. When Jesus was born, that was a very chiros moment away together. The reason was because it was not only an arrival of a savior. It was the manifestation of something that had been spoken about a long time away together. It was the reason why the angel Us had to come and play a role to get Joseph and Mary to depart with Jesus to take him to the place of hiding because he could die. I can't tell you if they did not take Jesus away, he would have died as a baby, like every other baby they killed. It was a chiros moment. When Jesus was about to start ministry at age thirty, it was a Chiros moment away together. Throughout the period of his passion until he died, it was a chiros moment. You can see that in the lifetime of Jesus. You literally can count that it was not more than three or four Chiros moments, and every one of those moments meant a lot as far as the plan of salvation were concerned. If Jesus died as a baby, it would have brought the plan of salvation. Please look up. If Jesus bowed down to Satan at the temptation when he was about to start ministry, he would have aborted the plan of salvation. If Jesus gave up at the semone, it would have aborted the plan of salvation. If Jesus died or refused to die, it would have aborted the plan of salvation, regardless what else happened. If Jesus aborted the plan of salvation, He's healing the woman with the issue of blood would not count in that equation. He's feeding the five thousand would not count in that equation. I say now that all of the miracles he did were part of the build up processes in the chronos. But you can piece out the activities that directly connected to salvation. There were not more than three or four. So it says thou shall arise and have messy upon Zion for the time to favor her. Yet the defining season has come. The defining season has come. Someone say my season has come, like you are truly professying saying my season has come. Now. The third thing I want to point out very quickly tonight is that every time we step into defining moments, chiros moments, there is a grace. There is an empowerment and an advantage that follows Chiros seasons. This is very important, very very profound. There is a dimension of grace that follows every season. In Nigeria, we operate the rainy and dry season. Like you have heard me say, and how many of you know that it is possible to farm during the dry season, but you will have to use what we call irrigation farming. That means you have to create an alternative route of outsourcing water. You do not have the advantage of having rainfall around that time. Doesn't mean your crops will not grow, but you will have to make the extra effort of routing water from maybe a boy whole or stream to what are your plans. But when it is the rainy season, the environment already brings that advantage. Under normal conditions are we together, Every Chiros season has with it a package that becomes for you a system of advantage. If you can discern it's someone following now this is very powerful. Most people do not have the capacity the fortitude to discern Cairo seasons, and so they do not design the advantage that comes with the seasons. The Bible makes a very profound statement in Ecclesias is three and verse eleven. He says he makes all things beautiful in its time. It's time, it's time. The rendition his time is not a very accurate rendition. The word there is it's time, not his time. He's not talking about a person. He makes all things beautiful in eats time. Are we together? Now? That means there is beauty and grace that comes with every season. Every season, there's ease that comes with every season. So the Bible says it this way. It says, as for rain, beautiful NLT and other modern translations put it well, he makes all things beautiful in its own time. Now, the Bible says, as for rain, at the time of the rain. That means you first have to discern that the time has come. Then you begin to engage appropriately in someone learning. Now, this is very important when you want to plug mango or orange from a mango three especially, did you know that if it's not the time for the harvest of mangoes. You may waste your time trying to throw down one mango. You will throw stones and injure people and break glasses just to bring down one mango. The reason is because you don't have the advantage of ease. But once it is time and the mango ripens, it softens from you know, it's connecting from the branch, and it can fall freely. Sometimes while you are asleep, you just hear it raining down and you literally have to wake up in the morning and just pick it. Because it is a blessing that comes with the season, every prophetic season, every defining moment, every chiros moment in the life of a people, the life of a nation, a territory, the life of a believer comes with certain spiritual provisions that can be a system of advantage if discerned and maximized. Allelujah, now I want to give you a few keys. That's really is my emphasis tonight there before us, right now, not just because of the convention coming. The convention coming just prophetically falls in line with something that God. Is already doing. Please listen to me. I began to see this as far back as the sound of Revival US Canada in fact one of the sessions, the Sunday Sessions. There I spoke particularly, I think the word of the Lord that should be the message, make reference to it, and I began to share with the Body of Christ some of the contemplations that I was receiving in my spirit as to the kinds of seasons that were stepping into. You see, the apostolic and the prophetic office is a dispensational office. And when God calls you by messy into a true apostolic ministry. One of the things that characterize through apostolic ministry is the ability to discern the things that God is doing past season and part time, and then to articulate it intelligently to a people so that they discern and connect to it by faith. Paul's apostolic ministry was dispensational. Efficients three, and these three he began to make defense of that grace. It says, how that by revelation he made known onto me the mystery, as I wrote a full time in few words, was four. It says that when ye read, ye may understand give us verse four. When you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ. Five, which was in other ages not made known to the sons of men, but it is now revealed to his Holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit, now revealed, now revealed, now revealed, was not revealed before, but it is now revealed onto his holy apostles and prophets. And that by the Spirit a major prophetic season. It's already been brewing across the body of Christ, and right now it's like the cloud that is thick and ready to rain a lot of things, and they are very easy in desease that we can use to discern, like the transition of Fathers of faith across our nation, across the African continent. Those ones are easy, they are discernable. You don't need to be overly spiritual. You just need to have common sense to know that buttons are changing, are together. But there are other parameters that you have to be spiritual, or you have to be properly mentored to be able to see, look or please. The day Jesus was born, if you were in Bedlehem of Judea, you would not know. You would just know that, wow, why at the start shining, it looks like it's an unusual night. Probably you will be taking fresh air outside, not knowing that the Savior is born, that something was happening somewhere across the globe, and only if people were already descierning. There was business in the spirit happening, And there were others who were dancing around the Bible says Wilsh. Shepherds watched their flocks by night, unknown to them that a miracle, the greatest miracle that happened to humanity, did not happen in such a loud way. It didn't happen at a crusade ground, a young controversial virgin who had her own issues there with her husband somewhere around a manger, and Jesus is born, nothing so spectacular. But the Bible says there were certain people called the magi. Isn't it amazing that out of the many people, only a handful of people discern that something was wrong. The magile they saw the star, and they used the knowledge of astrology, and they saw that dance tar would be a Bethlehem of Judea. They began their journey carrying with them gold, Frankenstes and Mr. They were excited when they got to Herold and it was announced that these guys were around. You know what happened. Herold said, go and take the archives. That means one of the ways with the sun seasons is to be students of history. You need to go and open the books what happened before? And he said, read it is. There something like this? And they said it's true, it's true. And they said a savior will be born by prophecy. It's been written in Bedlelyhem of Judea. And Herold said, oh, really, I've told you that. It was the spirit of the Antichrist that was at work in Herold. There was no reason for Herold to hate Jesus. He was by far older than Jesus, and he had two more years to leave. By the time Jesus became an adult, you will belong dead. What was the basis of the rivalry. But that's what happens when the spirit of the Antichrist moves, and old man will still kill children because he's afraid of his office. It's someone learning. Now. When Harold heard this, he said really, he said, so go and inquiet diligently, let us know where the star appeared. After you do that, come and tell me me too. I want to go and bow to the child. But the Bible says, he intended that you would kill him. Intended that he would kill him if someone learning very Cairo season. And when they went and they met Jesus, isn't it amazing? Ladies and gentlemen. The magi were not foolish people. But when they found a baby wrapped with swaddling clothes, the Bible says, they worshiped him. How do you worship a baby? They were seeing more than a baby. They knew that something supernatural had happened. They were worshiping a baby, and they presented They opened up their treasures, the Bible says, and they presented to him gifts of gold, of frankensays and of mar And intending to go back, an angel of the Lord appeared to them and warned them that they should depart through and not that way in the dream. And when Herod heard that they had departed another way, he was angry and he gave it someone that they should kill all children from two years and below. That was where the prophecy said. There was a cry in rama that Rachel will wait for her children, and she would not be comforted. It was a prophecy about the killing that would happen The meaning of this is that what is happening right now, if we are students of history and prophecy, it's being written before in types and shadows. I have a dear, wonderful friend who did his PhD thesis exploring the history of the church in Nigeria ex extending to Africa'm a student of revival, and I've increasingly become passionate about studying the history of the move of God, particularly not just short history broadly. I want to know the things that have happened before our arrival. And did you know he sent me a copy of his thesis and looking at it and doing a. Little study on it. Let me tell you this, I was amazed at the striking similarity between the things that happen yes to years, maybe about seventy two hundred years in Nigeria. That is happening again. Champions who are misunderstood and persecuted. It's happened before. People who defied ordinary backgrounds until they rose errant. It's happened before. I saw from the knowledge of history. That people naturally persecute their saviors and celebrate them when they die. It's a human thing. I saw from history that the move of God does not start with a crowd. It starts with a few people who have the discernment, and usually those two people go to intense persecution. Because the formative years of the move of God is very controversial, the fact that God is moving in a way he has not moved before does not mean he's not the one moving. Pioneers carry a heavy cross, a cross that sometimes can cost them their life and land. That from history and prophecy is someone learning. My announcement to you is that there is another move of God. You know, I've been telling you this upon the body of Christ, and I say this without sounding by us. Nigeria prophetically has been positioned by God's messy and grace as an arrowhead defining the spiritual tragictory of the things that happen across the African continent. Now, once upon a time the move of God was strongly along the European space. It's in the Bible history and it's in modern history. So these are not my opinions. Eventually it moved down to the West, and for many reasons I don't want to discuss within the context of our teaching, it began to fade and deplete Now that did not mean there was not a move of God in Africa and Nigeria. Unfortunately, we did not have a rich capture of the recordings of this move. Justice was not done to many silent voices that arose until they died because we did not have the intelligence to preserve history in such a detailed way. But then the spirit of God began to move very strongly across the African continent. Now it doesn't mean there are no moves of God. There's a mighty move of God. For instance, across the Ansian continent. I mean, so many beautiful things are happening there across India. There are people who are doing almost silent but remarkable things. Have been amazed myself as I am brought to the knowledge of certain individuals who may not necessarily be globally known. Goodness, you see the kinds of things they are doing for the Kingdom, within their domain, within their territory. Are we together? But back to the Nigerian context. Whenever we talk about the move of God in Nigeria, usually there are two names that stand out. We talk about the late apost bah Bahlahlah and then we talk about Archbishop Benson Idahosa and wonderful as what they did. But did you know for most of them, if they were alive, who would have hated them and persecuted them. We only celebrate them because we are largely not in their meetings. Are we together now? And we just want to show that we're good students of history. But there is another move. God's move never talks with one generation. It always continues progressively through. The chronos years. And those who are discerning and they are well mentored, use their Chronos days preparing like the magi. They keep looking at the signs, they keep looking at the writings on the wall. Every time they see that formation again, they know that He's coming again. Maranatha. It is a spirit and the bride saying come. And when they're able to trap and capture what God is saying, they become pioneers of a new move of God within their generation. And let me tell you this, at the risk of sounding controversial, I can tell you this by the messages of God and by apostolic authority. There is a blessing that comes when you align spiritually to receive the new that God is doing. He places grace on you such that no man will partake of that move ignorre. In the hand of God in. Your life because you went through the sacrifice of alignment and you stared with God. Any other person within that dispensation that wants to enjoy that level of grace, and we together will not only honor God, but will honor that spiritual investment. This is a level of spiritual intelligence that our arrogant world does not understand. Is the reason why most people cannot receive buttons. There are moves today that happen within the body of Christ, healing movements, apostolic reformations, that a few people were raised by God and they become They became the. Sign posts to those moves. Even when you say, Father, grant me fire, he will start with the Holy Ghost, but he will refer you to those people or their materials. When paul A Saul encountered the God of Heaven, after he felt he woke up blind, the Lord sent him to the House of Judah, and he stayed there for three days. He was blind, only praying. The Bible says the Lord spoke to ananaias watch this. He said to get up and go to the city called Straint, to the house of Judah that he will meet Saul. Therefore he prayeth. He says, when he meets him, he should pray for him that his eyes will be open and that he should be fully The Holy gooes question, please look at me. Why will Jesus Christ refer a man to another man when he has given the money direct encounter? When you encounter Jesus directly, should you need any money? Again? What encounter is greater than the encounter of Jesus Christ. But he was Jesus himself. After encountering Paul, he said, go and wait. I will send a man to continue your journey. When I asked, came he said, Brother Saul, Jesus whom you saw, has sent me. Jesus whom you saw, had sent me, not a bad Jesus, Jesus whom you saw. I don't doubt your encounter, but I have a role to play in your life. If you respect that Jesus whom you saw, and ignore me, whom he sent, you will still not become an apostle. Let me say that again. It takes respecting Jesus whom you saw, and me, who he sent. It takes respecting Jesus whom you saw and me who he sent. Paul did not become an apostle just because he encountered Jesus. There is Jesus whom you saw, but there is me who he sent. I'm speaking to a generation. There is Jesus whom you saw, but there is him. You reject Jesus and embrace an anaas you are doing human worship, but you embrace Jesus whom you saw. And if not an a nurs you will be saved, but you will remain blind. Your eyes will be closed, and the oil that should come on your head may never arrive there. Listen to me. So this is what is happening to a generation. There is Jesus whom you saw. I don't doubt your salvation. But the goal is not to be saved. The goal is to be a witness and the person man that to continue the journey, who has been sent in the name of the Lord. You must have the discernment. There are two roles, one to open your eyes, two that you may be filled with the holy ghost. Shama La brother saw Jesus whom you saw. The one who you saw, he appeared to you in the way, but he also sent me that in addition to your encounter. This is a message for a generation. We are a generation that have seen Jesus. I agree, I don't doubt you encounter, but don't fight Anonaias. The fathers are coming in the spirit of Ananaias, and they are saying Jesus whom you saw. We don't doubt you encounters. We know you saw him, but he has sent me to open your eyes and that you be filled with Holy Ghost. By wisdom Moga heaven skates opera. With understanding, you order the seasons, creating them light, turning darkness into nights, arranging the stars to your pleasing. Blessed are you, oh Lord dark eternities who Lincoln listen. I want you to pay attention to this thing. I just said. It's a secret God showed me. Paul. No matter your encounter, you will never become an apostle till you respect Jesus whom you saw, an Anias whom he sends to you. You saw Jesus, but your eyes are still blind. You saw Jesus, but the encounter did not bring you the Holy Ghost. Go and stay. Wait. There is an incubation room there. I will send someone to you. When you see that person coming. Even though you are blind, Saul, keep praying as you wait for the arrival of Annaias. Keep praying as you wait for the arrival of Annaias. And Anaias has seen your rebellion. And Anaias knows about your tantrums. He knows about the wrong history of your behavior. He will not come on his own. But I will talk to an Anaias. There is something I will tell him. I will say, although Paul once persecuted the church, don't be afraid, although this generation is rebellious, and an I ask, don't be afraid of coming. There is my hand upon that generation. My hand upon that generation brought us all Jesus whom you saw, the Lord Jesus that appeared to you by the way that you came. He's the one who sends me for two assignments. One that you might. Receive your sight. There are two people in the Bible who this miracle happen to. The first one is called blind Batimios. Blind Batamios did not say give me eyes. He didn't say that my eyes be opened. No, he said that I may receive my sight. A man can have eyes and not see. I told you sight It's not a function of a healthy eye alone. Sight is a function of a healthy eye in the presence of sufficient light. If I switched off the light in this room, even though your eyes are all right, you will not see. So when bland Batamios was saying that I may receive my sight, he didn't just say the miracle of an open eye. His eyes could be open and he would not see. Because you see Paul's eyes were closed, but you were still having visions. He said, I came to open your eyes. There are things you cannot see, even though you met Jesus. This is a message to a generation. There are things you cannot see, no matter your encounters. I know you saw angels, it is true, but there is an an anias prepared by God, and annaias may not. Carry the form. But you will come and knock your door and say, brother Saul, I rope. It will not be an insult to you when he calls you brother Saul, even though your destiny is appost to Saul. The man who is coming has what you are looking for. He will not call you a us who saw. He will knock your door and say, brother Saul. Calano surpran de the Jesus who you saw when you were on the mountain, the Jesus whom you saw as you waited upon him in fasting and prayer. In addition to that encounter, he has sent me that I may open your eyes and that you might be filled with the Holy Ghost. To open your eyes, ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to be giving you a few kids, and then will pray. I don't intend to keep us for long tonight. I'm setting the ground for what God is going to be doing. I needed to introduce this revelation tonight so that you can maximize it. This revelation immediately takes away from you the spirit of arrogance. I've seen Jesus, I know. But the same Jesus you saw sent me an annas to come to you that I may give you access to something that is beyond the horizon of your sight, and then that you might receive the Holy goos Ah, that you might receive the Holy goos to receive, that you might receive the Holy goos that you might receive the Holy Ghost, the Holy Ghost who will turn you into a wonder, the Holy Ghost who will make you a sign and a wonder. Allelujah. Let me give you a few kids. Let me give you a few kids. Salmon le Caparacos theater man those sabrantes kip ale Coparatto's theater. Every time you step into a chiros moment, you have to look two directions, one where you find Jesus, but two where you find an Anaias. If you step into a prophetic season, start with Jesus, but make sure you keep the flexibility to look forward to an Annias, because both Jesus and an Anias it's a god man partnership towards you're making. You can encounter. Jesus and ignore an Anias using the pride of your encounter, the pride of your experience, and Annaias will keep knocking your door. Unfortunately, and Annias does not have the patience to wait forever. He can knock, and if you are not ready to receive, you will go back and say you sent me, but soul rejected me. There are a few keys that helps us to maximize profetic seasons, defining moments like we're stepping into right now, Madge through this glorious convention. Let me least for you the keys very quickly and will pray. Please be sensitive in the spirit. Is sensitive in the spirit. Number one. The first key that you must deploy in maximizing chiros prophetic seasons is discernment, discernment, discernment. You cannot step into a prophetic season and maximize it if you do not even know that it is a prophetic season. I told you that the birth of Jesus did not come with anything spectacular. If you were born or you lived around Bethlehem of Judea, you would not know something spectacular and supernatural way happening. You would just know that, okay, there were transactions happening. In the spirit, and perhaps not partake of it. You need discernment, discernment, the spirit of discernment. That's one of the blessedness of consistency in prayer. Please look up. The Bible says, strong meat belongs to those who are of full age, who by reason of use, have exercised themselves to descergn to discern, to discern. In Genesis twenty eight, Jacob laid down at Loss to sleep, and the Bible says he had a prophetic dream. His father had consecrated that place, and he lay on his stone to sleep. The Bible says, and he saw edition a dream, and angels were ascending, and angels were descending. If you know anything about the ministry of angels, every time you see assssions and descendings, that means they are going in honor to the word of the Lord. They are ministering to the saints. They were ascending and descending, bringing messages, bringing all kinds of things. But Jacob himself was not part of those they were coming to. They were passing him and going somewhere. The Bible says, when he got up from that dream, he made a profound submission. He said, surely the Lord is in displace, and I knew not Verse seventeen janesis twenty eight. He says he was afraid, and he said, how dreadful is displaced? This is none of that than the house of God. This is the gate of heaven. But you see that encounter did not profit him because he did not have discernment. Read your Bible. The next twenty years of Jacob's life will be misery upon misery in the house of Laban. Only God knows what would have happened to Jacob if he had maximized that prophetic experience. Laban defrauded him many times, exchange Rachel for Leah for Rachel, and then you know all kinds of things. And he stayed again, kept turning his wages until he spent over twenty years. Eventually he found his way out of the house of Laban. When we get to Genesis chapter thirty two, the Bible says that night Jacob dismissed his wives. That night he dismissed his. Women's servants, his sons, and he passed over to a place called for Jabbok. And the Bible says that night he was left alone, and there restued a man with him to the breaking of the day Verse twenty five. And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his tie. He said, leave me for the day breaking. He said, I will not let you go unless you bless me. I have learned by experience that if I don't discern a god encounter, it can cost me many decades of regret. I will not let you go unless you bless me. And he said, what is your name? He said, I am Jacob. He said, Doubs shall no longer be called Jacob. But Israel for as a prince. You have had power with God, and you have prevailed. Verse twenty nine, the Bible says, and Jacob said, tell me, and he says, wherefore why do you ask my name? He blessed him there. Verse thirty the Bible says, Jacob called the name of the place penny L. He said, for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved. Verse thirty one, the Bible says, and as he passed, the son arose over him. He called the place penny L. I have seen God face to face. Listen, beloved people of God. In this prophetic season, we must have the grace to discern the capacity to interpret the writings on your word. Can I tell you the truth? Let me make a prophetic analogy. Every generation has an assignment to read the writings on their wall. There is a world for every generation, and eventually a hand will write on it. This time around is not a negative writing. But when the hand writes on it, there must be men and women after the order of Daniel who know how to read the writings on the wall and then to interpret for that generation what the spirit of God is saying to the churches, so that. It can bring alignment and so that we can walk into our prophetic destiny. The generation of our fathers, when God wrote on their war, thank God that they had men consecrated enough, humble enough, yielded enough, who saw the writings, They detected the burning bush, they saw the star, they saw the signs. They said, we see not our signs. And there is no man who can tell us how long there must be people who know how to interpret signs over a generation to say this is a chirost moment, and to awaken the body of Christ, to say, don't lose out on this. It is not just an ordinary moment. It is a prophetic defining moment. The generation of our fathers knew how to read their writings on the wall. Now God has granted us the privilege. It is now up to us to. Set ourselves in the order of Habacock. Habacock two and one says, I will stand upon the tower, and I will set myself upon the tower. I will stand upon my watch, and I will watch to see what he will say to me. I will watch to see what he will say to a generation. I will watch to see if someone learning tonight discernment. We need discernment. Very prophetic seasons have happened on earth, and they happened in a way that was so ordinary. Only the discerning picked the signal. I make reference again to the death of Jesus. Nothing spectacular happened upon the earth. If you are alive in that day, you would wake up like any other day, go and do your work any other day. I return back, not knowing. That the Savior was born. When Jesus hung upon the cross, the Bible says a lot of supernatural things happen. The cloud it became dark, the veil in the temple, tour, and all kinds of things. When he resurrected, angels came and did all of those things. When you assended to heaven, angels came received him. But when he was born, it was a silent night. When revivals are born, when moves of God happened, it's a silent night. There are only three groups of people who discern what God was doing. One the magi. Two the shepherds that were watching their flocks by night. It takes tamina to watch your flocks by night. There are shepherds that only watched your flocks by day. Those ones did not receive that visitation. He only came to those who were disciplined enough, and they were still watching their flocks by night. It takes tamina to watch your flocks by night, because nighttime is the time of weariness, when you should be sleeping. But they were watching their flocks by night. And the angels appear to them Who's in the highest and brought them glad tidings that onto you. A savior is born. Ladies and gentlemen. It looks like it is nighttime in the body of Christ. But I hope you don't just slumber, because in the midst of that night, I want you to know something prophetic is being born, and not everyone is having insights to it. The magi and those whose eyes are consistently on the starts, they know how to look at seasons. And then the shepherds are men who God or not. Because of your faithfulness, they made up your mind to watch your flock not only by day, but to watch your flock by night. It's not convenient, but I will watch them by night. And the Spirit of God says, no, you have to inform this man because of your faithfulness. If they can be faithful watching the shepherds by night. That means they can. Also be faithful doing the things the business of the kingdom. When it is revealed to them what God is doing. It is amazing, ladies and gentlemen, that there can be a mighty move of God like it happened on the Day of Pentecos, and nineteen chapters later, there are still some disciples who have not yet had it there be any holy ghosts. The Holy ghosts fell on the Day of Pentacles with such power three thousand people were saved. From there the church began to advance. But when we get to Ants chapter nineteen, from verse one to four, Paul haven't passed through the upper coast. The Bible says he came and found certain disciples. Someone was mentoring them, but their eyes were not open. They did not know that dispensations had changed. And it said to them, have you received the Holy ghosts since you believed? They said, what are you talking about? You mean there's the new movers come like that. That was officially the dispensation of the Holy ghosts. Yet those who were said, we're not even aware that a move. A sadded. Paul was surprised. He said, onto what were you then baptized, and they said onto John's baptism, and Paul said, no, John's baptism was not wrong. It was a baptism of repentance. That you should believe on him whoish to come. But I need to let you know dispensations have changed. I don't know who men told you that left you dull of hearing. But he said, dispensations have changed, and he introduced them to the Holy ghost Body of Christ. A new movie is upon us, whether you believe it or. Not, is the truth. It's usually a cliche to say new things are coming all of that. This one is beyond a revival. I'm not talking of a revival. A revival is different from the opening of a new face in the church. Are we together now? Yes? Discernment. When you step into a Cairos prophetic season number one, you need discernment. Let's hurry up number two. When God grants you the privilege like the Sons of Isaka in First Chronicles, First Chronicles twelve and verse thirty two. And of the Sons of Isaka, the Bible says, men who had understanding or discernment of the times, and they knew what Israel ought to do. Can I tell you this look or please one of the psyche effects of being a pioneer or a first fruit recipient. Listen to my descriptions. When you have the privilege to pioneer something new and prophetic, or to be a first fruit resc chances are excellent that if you are not careful, that awareness that not many people are aware of what you know is the reason why you start dying. Is the reason why. Once you are aware that God is doing something and others are not yet aware, He's granted your access to the chambers of the spirit, the next thing you do is gratitude. Write it down, gratitude, Father, thank you for the privilege. I'm showing you the steps to maximizing and discigning chiro seasons. After discernment comes gratitude. Thank you for the privilege you have given me. You know I tell you this as a man of God. Almost every day of my life, and more so these prophetic days, I've taken time to pray and thank God. Thank God deeply for the privilege that He's given me to frontier some of the things, things that have been done for a generation, a dispensation and for the body of Christ. It is a profound honor that I'm not ashamed to declare my gratitude to him. Gratitude, gratitude. Someone say, thank you Jesus. Did you ever read in the Bible? He say, blessed are your eyes for they see these things, and blessed are your ears for they hear. Because it is not everyone who's been given. Access to hear and to see. But blessed are your eyes, and blessed are your ears. Number three? What is the third key? In addition to discernment and then gratitude, faith and courage. You want to step into prophetic seasons to maximize chiros seasons, you need faith and courage. Joshua one nine Joshua one nine. Have I not commanded thee be strong and of good courage. Be not afraid, neither be doubt dismayed, For the Lord your God is with you withthersoever you go. Can I tell you this? New things always create fear? Do you know why?

I can't run through a troop, By my God, I can leap over a wall. Can I tell you this? Listen to me? Hear me? Please look up? Do you know why you need courage? Because God will be trusting you with something your father could not do, something your mother could not do. When he said who will go for us? Everyone said this assignment is too big. You mean to liberate this family? From suffering. No, I can't do this. You mean to carry this mantle to the nations. But someone is saying, send me here. I can't take the giants. I like Caleb, he said, let us go up as wells. You won't hear any evil reports from my mouth. I am well able. I am well able.

Move with power. The signs follow us. You move. Why you I can run through a troop? Why, my God, I can leap over a wall. Don't don't let any devil lie to you that you cannot do the ministry. Don't let any devil lie to you that you cannot rise. Don't let any devil use culture, use your background, use your gender. Say you're a female, you are a male. Let God be true and every devil a liar. Don't let anyone despise the hand of God upon your life. Don't let anyone despise the grace of God upon you. Yeah me, there's no reason to fear. I have seen Jesus, and I have met an Anaias. I met Jesus and I received the one he sent to me. You've heard me say, me alone can fail, for me and God can't fail together. No, sir, No sir. I was in one of Renaw Bonker's CRUs sage, if. I still remember, and he said not to look down himself, but he. Was just exalting the sufficiency of Christ in him. And he said, I am like a zero, and God is like one in front of me. He said, does zero plus one in front of it becomes what when you add one more zero? When you add one more zero, the longer the zeros, the more value of the one in front of it is. Said. The reason why I'm doing well is because I'm someone with plenty zeros. I came to Jesus with plenty zeros. When he put one on top of my plenty zeros. For you who has only one zero, when it comes. It is ten. But some of us who came with a par of zeros, when it drops one on top of it, it becomes a value that becomes a shockman a landa from Reynard Bonke. So for someone who came with five zeros, when it rests upon you, one of the zero came from you, One of the zero came from your father, one of the zero came from your mother, one of the zero came from your siblings. One of the zero came from your tribe. One of the zero came from the poor level of education. One of the zero came from poverty. You carry those zeros, put it in a alabasta box, bring it and break it before Jesus, he becomes that one, and in multiplancial impact. Allelujah, Faith, faith, please be seated. I believe in Jesus. I believe in Jesus. I believe in Jesus. Someone say that, whether your mind agrees or not, say so. I believe in Jesus. Let me tell you this, ladies and gentlemen. If it is a God of Heaven you want to use you, one day, he will give you an assignment that is clearly bigger than your ability. No God is talking to you because he speaks in a way that you can never bring that assignment to pass by your strength. Impossible, God, would one say, one build the nation, and it will speak as if there are no butt to necks. When he placed that grace on Nehemayah, he never was as told. There were sambalads and tobiases. They said, there are giants on the mountain. We are not able to, and calypse has shut up. Let's go up at once we. Are able to. Faith does not. Ignore obstacles, but it exhuts the world of God at both every challenge, and faith knows that winning is the only option. Challenges are not unusual, but winning is the only option. Ladies and gentlemen, please hear. A loser's mentality cannot produce a victor's destiny. A loser's mentality cannot produce a victor's destiny. You want to win. I told you fate is vision dependent. You have to paint a picture of victory before you. In my mind, I'm seeing a stadium full of hungry worshippers receiving the power of God encounters by the spirit. I'm seeing nations connected and rising. You see that now? In my mind, I've finished the general Assembly. I'm receiving the next mission. A winner's mentality. I tell you something very interesting. One day when we bought our property, I just went there and I was strolling, and I looked at everything, and then I had vision. When I went back home, I saw a bird just drop there and picked something and left. From that day I was grateful to God. But something in my heart told me this is not even the place I started looking at for somewhere else. My mind just left that place. Not that I ignored it. I said, no, this is not it. A loser's mentality cannot produce a victorious person. Do you know if God believes in you and you don't believe in yourself, you will shore change what He wants to do in your life. We live in a world where we allow social media the opinions of naysayers to make suggestions about your destiny. Someone sits down who has no knowledge of your work with God just conclude that this lady, you can be great, and you reduce yourself to a point where you become affected by your opinion of someone who is just using your influence with drive traffic, Jesus said, I am that I am. He was confident as for me and you, we are winners forever. They didn't hear what I said as for me and you, we are winners forever in the name of Jesus Christ. Your faith will weary your current challenges until it gives up. There's one thing I know about Satan. He says, strange revelation, But it is true. He gets tired. You would never believe that, but it is true. It is only the keeper of Israel who does not sleep nor slumber. A man can weary Satan. The Bible says he left Jesus for his season. He went away. It is written, it is written, it is written, and he left him. He went It's a resist the devil and he will flee. Key number one maximizing prophetic seasons discernment number two gratitude, a heart that is ever conscious of the messy and the faithfulness of God. Number three faith and courage to push through seemingly difficult challenges, overcoming very obvious bottlenecks. Number four. I mentioned that while giving you the charge, well, let me shout it again. The fourth key to maximizing chiros seasons. Are you ready fight offense? Fight offense Matthew eleven and verse six. Fight offense, give us five and six or four to six Matthew eleven four to six. In fact, let's start from verse three. So this is John. Angry because he felt that Jesus was during ministry and excelling, and he was in prison as the one who ordained him in ministry, and Jesus did not seem to say anything about his condition. And in anger and offense he sent the disciples. He said, when go to John and go and tell John, are you the one that should come or should we look for another. That was a sarcastic statement, because it was John who said, behold the lamb, the one who takes away the sins of the world. But now because of the tragic situation, he was offended. He was angry. Verse four Jesus answered and said, onto them, go and show John again those things which he do here. And seeing five the blind received their side, the lame walk. The lepers are claimsed the death. Here that dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached onto them. Verse six is said, blessed is he whosoever shall not be offend dead in me. Ladies and gentlemen, you see this offense thing here. It is one of the cancers that Satan introduces to the life of people. When seasons are about to change for good. Offense, you become angry, You become gaslighted at everything. Have you seen that happen to people? A man of God becomes angry at this congregation, shouting spouses, children, leaders. Once you begin to see Satan pushing offense, he has discerned a prophetic season coming. You have to make up your mind. You give yourself to consecration extended first, preparing for something powerful. Almost everybody will start looking for your trouble. Some relative somewhere worse not call you in five years, will now call you and said, the last family meeting, you are not there. There's some dus you are to pay, and you almost want to call them and say, if you call me. Again, I have names I will call you. Offense. Offense the ease with which you get irritated, the ease with which you get angry, the ease with which you get gaslighted, the ease with which you get annoyed. He is a demonic tramp. You notice that when you are bought that season, the factors that create the offense just evaporate and you are left again. So it was not about you, It was about fighting that prophetic season. Blessed is he who is not offended in me. Let me use your opportunity. Like I told us during the time of prayer, as you prepare for this convention extending to this prophetic season, make up your mind as a choice. I will not be offended. It's an act of my will. Someone insults you cause you be el zebo, no problem, God bless you. I am not. But as for me, I am stayed on receiving what God is giving me. Are we together? Now? Your child annoys you and you almost want to insult them, and you just remember that. Look, I'm on a mission. Saying Jesus' name, I am free from offense. Saying the name of Jesus. I make a conscious decision to not be offended. Number five. When Cairos seasons are before you, the fifth key, Are you ready? Stay focused. I'm giving you these keys as simplified as they are, but they walk wonders when you believe and engage them. Stay focused. Stay focused Matthew six and verse twenty two. Stay focused. It is at this point I must tell you that both success and failure can make you a failure because they can distract you. Success distracts equally as failure. The Bible says, the light of the body is the eye, and if your eye be seeing grel, your whole body shall be full of light. That you set your face like a flint. No wavering to the left, no waving to the right. When people celebrate you and call you king of kings, a lord of lords, you wave them in gratitude while your eyes is still on the mission. When people say you are stupid, you are bells above by the prince of demons who cast demons them while your eyes are focused. Let me tell you this. Visionary people are known for a non canny level of focus. This I learned from Dr Miles Monroe. Make note of his book The Power of Vision. You must learn to be visionary. This one thing I do forgetting the things that are behind it is a forget the evil things. It is a forget the disappointments. As a principle, I never celebrate the same level twice. Once I celebrate something enough to encourage me, that's it. I'm ready for the next step. After we returned from our conferences this year, you know, it was a great one, going around from Europe to the West. And once we're done, after I laid down before God to say thank you. Gave him the progress report was ready for the next mission. Once we're done by Sunday or Monday, I'll go back again and give him a progress reportesty, thank you for the or some things you did next assignment. Victors don't have the time to over celebrate. No, I'm not saying don't celebrate, but there is a way it can push you. It deflates your appetites to press forward. That's why you find out that people never do something beyond your last level of success. They keep reminiscing as if there is nothing more to do. Do you know a young man should not be talking about stories of the past too much. You have an advantage of time and energy. Why are you not forward going with results? An old man can say in nineteen seventy this, But where you fire a young man since saying in two thousand and five, In two thousand and six, we did this? What happened to your energy? What happened to your mind? Did you freeze your progress? Are we together? Be free from offense? And then stay focused? Stay focused. When men clap for you because of the mighty hand of God, you turn to them. Don't ignore them, celebrate. It is Wor's celebrating father. I give you all the praise, but then you turn you set your face like a fleet. When people persecute and criticize you, it's largely because they admire you. You are doing what they don't have the courage to do, and they are hoping to use your pain to comfort themselves. They hope that what they're saying will get to you so they can at least derive comfort. And you show them a justification of why they are whare they are to your focus? Your focus is an answer to them. That you're being distracted. Is the reason why you don't have strides, You don't have things that you can thank God for. Personally, the one thing I hate in my life is the wastage of time and the ministry of time wasters. Allelujah. Yes, it's good to encourage. Oh how are you? I just want to go straight to the point I'm not discouraged, Straight to the point you are praying for me. Go ahead, allelujah, and know on this side of the kingdom, sometimes we waste people's time. You come prime time where people are productive. You just knock shalom. How are you? I just came. No, no, you can't meet somebody by two pm in the afternoon, a very active period. I said, do you have some time so that we just just just want to share. No, no, no, no, no no. I must walk the walks of him while it is day, amant together. The day is not for sleep, it's for work. The night comes, then you sleep. Time wasters wait both day and night. They waste their own, then they waste your own. Where you should be resting, they want to disturb you, where you should be walking. They want to disturb you. I bind that spirit from your life in the name of Jesus Christ. Gossipping, wasting time discussing successful people without being inspired from them. Time wasters, Please keep your vision in the name of Jesus Christ. You're a man of God. Keep your vision. You're a business man. Keep your vision. You are a young man. Imagine, keep your vision set to your face like a flint when you get up in the morning. Thank you. Have you heard about this one? Have you heard that a three fell on? This person? Said? Really, it's here at the hospital. Let's interside for him. While we're interceding for him. I'm focused yet, No, No, I want to know just about how the three fail. That's not your business, since you could not stop the three from falling. Don't involve me in that mondane discussion. Don't plive yourself aple who are going nowhere? They just come and waste your time. Are you aware of the things husbands are doing these days? And you see down eight hours you are discussing things you cannot change. You become more foolish At the end of the discussion, same thing happens to men. You find men sitting there just staying away with your lives. At the end of it, the man who is existing does not have his children's whof is in place, does not have this house, rent in place, no vision, no nothing. Commentate us over successful people, and at the end they live frustrated. May you never be found in that company. Alleluja. When someone meets you and wants to waste your time, politely tell him no time. My time is engaged. If you are bringing wisdom, you're welcome. Bringing value, you're welcome. Bringing passion for God, you're welcome. Bringing law, you're welcome. If you are bringing seeds of discord bitterness, carry your trouble and go. Is someone learning now I pray for you the grace to be focused, the grace to be focused in the name of Jesus Christ. Always write out what you are doing. At this point every point of your life, and follow it up to the latter. Follow it up to the latter. Let's worry you clean. Number six. I've given you five keys discernment, gratitude, faith, and courage fighting offense. Then to stay focused. Number six related to stay in focus. How do you maximize chiro seasons? Stay humble, Stay humble. Ah, I can spend all night drumming the stare humble. A time comes in your life Probabs sixteen eighteen where you become aware of how exalted you are in God's prophetic scheme of things. At that point you must be mindful. You can be visionary and yet very proud. Here's what the Bible says. Pride go before destruction and a hearty spirit. Before a fall. Allelujah. And men can help to sing your praises. They can help to say a lot of things. You know, Man of God is not it's all that I don't want to say, but hope you know you're the only one doing this kind of thing. Say you mean it, You see, that's how folly begins. Nobody else is seeing this thing, and honestly speaking, sometimes they are right. And then you get back and you begin to say, in your heart, my power and the might of my hand has given me this and has brought me to this level. One of the things I fear is when God grants me grace and things are happening in my life. When people begin to commend, it's not their fault. They've been lavish, they have been sincere But I always lock myself and remind myself again. I don't even wait. Until maybe the conference or the convention or whatever is over, whatever they're celebrating. You see that. Now I begin to celebrate the Lord and say, Father, thank you, thank you for your grace, thank you for your grace. I try to hide the other doctorate that I received, and I thought people would not get to know. Eventually people found out and say, of course, why didn't you tell us that would have celebrated. I say, what for? Don't he remove it or keep it? I've got to be God has given it. Glory be to God I have walked in front of me. Is it not foolish if I'm celebrating a second honorary doctorate. Where there's walk here in front walk of souls, a serious business. Glory be to God. It's worths celebrating. But I thank God, but that's just not me. Let's get to work, Let's get to walk. I wait together now. Some of you even quarter up people and say you saw it, and you acted like you. Didn't see it a bit. You see that there are people who literally engineer, almost like what politicians do. Oh, y'all do something and say put it. Let everybody see what kind of life is that. It's usually people who are idle. When you are serious and busy and there is a goal before you that is bigger than yourself, you get too occupied to be distracted. I pray for you. Mundane things will not distract you in the name of Jesus. But let me talk about staying humble. Pride is a killer. Rest on that revelation. Pride at any level is a killer the moment you get to a point where you do not see the sufficiency of Christ walking through you. Don't get me wrong. I've taught you that being arrogant and being simple are two different things. Are we together? Being humble does not mean. Refusing to acknowledge the good things God is doing in your life. No, no, if God has lifted you. You are lifted. Is worth's celebrating if. God has blessed you. Remember, the human spirit is motivated on account of giant strides, accomplishments, achievements in righteousness. But humility is the conscious acknowledgement of God as the basis for every result you have. So once you celebrate sincerely, you let the nations know. That's why you see in all of our songs we always talk about the nation saying Jesus. Whether it is the song brief or this very one we're saying, is the nations that will sing His praise. The character of humility is that God lifts you. When their eyes are on you, you now point them from where you are and say, look higher than me. You will see that the. One who made me is above me, and he's the one who is deserving of our worship. Are we together now? Very very important? You must learn to acknowledge Jesus in the midst of all the great strikes. And let me tell you this. By the message of God, this ministry say, it's a behive of people who are greatly accomplished, whether in ministry, whether in Korea, whether in business, whether as whatever it is. But I thank God it is a gift that God has given me as a man of God. A collection of truly humble people, very honors human people. You will not even know who is. Who until someone tells you. This man you sees the chairman of this board, he is the head of this I said, you mean this man and. He's just acted like that, not that somebody comes and you're a chairman of one small board that was just does not even have tables in the in the office, and you are. Moving around and shouting. Do you know I'm chairman. One of the ways you know you're in trouble is when you are the one who announces yourself. You already know that you are dead on arrival. There is a here you hum annointing that announces people who are doing something that is really worth it. Stay humble, James four and verse six, please give it to us four six James, But you give that more grace. Wherefore he said, God resisted the proud Look at me, ladies and gentlemen. Time I read this statement, it really costs me. It causes me to tremble. For God to resist a man, are you going to use the annointing to fight him? Are you going to use angels to fight him? Are you going to use the blood of Jesus to fight him? For God to resist a man, it's a terrible thing. But God resisted the proud, but he giveth grace to the humble. Let me tell you the posture of humility. The posture of humility is not kneeling down or rolling on the ground. You can be rolling on the ground as a proud man, on repentant proud man. In fact you're rolling can even be so that they will see you for more opportunity for pride away together. There is an energy that truth humility carries. When you see a man who is ever determined to be humble, you know you don't reject what God has done, but you acknowledge hill as the basis for it are always prayer. And I tell God, whatever you will ever make out of my life or give to me that will make me try to push you out of the way and tell the people focus on me even as I'm speaking now, may never come into my life. I helpe your centamen for yourself too, because you need the prayer too, pride. There are people like that. If they're sit in a discussion, ninety percent of the conversation is about them, they become uncomfortable with if you're talking about someone else, they hijack the gist and say, just so, let you know that, in fact, I just returned from so, so, so and so. Are you aware? In fact the other day as I was going by the way, it was a private jet, it was not commercial. Who cares? And you find people there are people like that. I'm not trying to be sarcastic. I'm just saying, once you find an obsession to always want to be at the center stage, go for a retreat. It's not a personality issue. It's an attack on your continuity. Your success will not have longevity. Let people believe to you, that's their business. When God wants to announce you, you will do it in such a way that they will go back with repentance and say, ah, God, I'm sorry for looking down. Someone you have exalted is someone learning now the way of humility is a great one, very great one. When they was traveling somewhere and one notable person in this are nation, you know he was seated, just just sitated next to me, And honestly, one of the things that touched me was his disposition of humility. This is someone who has the power to do and undo. But he was very I mean very modest, very cautious, I mean, just anything nice. And I sat quietly. I was watching him. People would come and greet him, people would talk, return back, and you know, very cautious. Give a listening here. Genuinely, I said, no, wonder God has exalted this man that way. And yeah, there are others who start fighting from the aircraft. You hear it. They're fighting because everybody wants know they're there. He's my right. You have not given me this way. You are not bring everything range ering whatever. And you're saying behave just calm down. No, no, I paid for it. While I'm saying this. Don't just laugh. I'm telling you, pride will. Always disgrace you. Always disgrace you, because a full even when he's silent, is regarded wise by the time you make a lot of noise, and all those who answer you are greater than you. It's a message. Are we together now? The Bible puts it this way. It says, when you enter a house. Sit at the back. You know what that means. Sit at the back does not mean demean yourself. Sit at the back if truly you are deserving of no, they will reach out and fetch you and bring you to the front. It's it's a it's a it's a statement that shows. The lifting power of humility. Have you been at a program where you just so empty chairs you don't know for who they left it, and you just went and sat. There quarrel it everybody. Then when the real people who the chairs belong to, when they come, they just whisper to you and say can you stand up? Sorry, there's there's a chair outside and you have to stand up. You say which way? They say, sorry? All the doors have blogged followed this in front of everybody, and go out and go and sit outside. You had a chance to sit at the back quietly. There was this place for you. Anyway. I'm tempted to use the world. I don't know what that word is in English, so I will use it. Allelujah. When you get into a place, sit at the back. You were a champion. But sit at the back. I don't mean it literally, sit at the back, maintain a posture of humility. Did that ways you have nothing to lose when you are worthy of honor. That just look fourteen. I think media just give it to us. Look for intent or thereabout? Is it not for intent when you sit down and then they bid you to come and they say go higher? Ah, that's eleven. But if you now decide to sit on your own or thereabouts, they will. Now disgrace you. You see. That was talking with respect to pride. I dread pride in my life. I dread it. If there's any prayer you can pray for me, is God keep this man humble and let me tell you the truth. Anybody who has tasted greatness knows that humility is an intentional thing. Intentional thing if you have not achieved anything. But when there are trophies before you, there are praises on your left, commendations on your right, trophies before you, giants who are on their on the ground behind you, and you are standing in the middle of all of this, that's a champions picture. Or you still need to be humble. Can you pray in one minute and say, f I don't no matter how you lift me in this season, whether it's in ministry, whether it's in business. I cry on to you by the message of the. God of David, that you will touch my heart. That I do not become haughty, not in my conversations, not in my disposition, that I will not think more highly of myself than I ought to. Someone. Lift your voice and pray, because in this season God wants to prosper you like never before. But you need to obtain grace from God to not be haughty and high minded. God wants to promote you. God wants to honor you. It will be about you or God. Stay humble, Stay humble, Stay humble, Alle Luyer. As a personal principle, I'll tell you this, I have profound respect for people who have tasted greatness and are remarkably humble. When I find those men, they command my admiration, my love, and my honor in an unusual way. To find people who are truly great, and they maintain a disposition of humility. They are not even aware of how humble a disposition they have. There's nothing as ugly as same people who have much, and then their much is canceled out in pride. Worst off those who don't have anything. Then they now had pride on it. It's like selling a well that is not working and cementing it. There's no business of digging it against so that it even works. Cononia, I pray for you as we step into the week where God is going to be showing great glory through our lives. It's an honor for us to host his presence. And for the many things God is going to be doing, he will make a name for himself for sure. But when it is done, make sure we do not lift ourselves like footballers live trophies and we beat our chest when we said this is coin onia. What we mean is this is where Jesus is revealed, and this is where he is glorified. Every time you said this is coin onia, you're not just making a chance that tries to show the superiority of one man of God or one ministress against others. Know you are making a declaration that God has found himself a place where he will perpetually, eternally be revealed and he will be glorified. I recall again the statement God and told me years ago. He said, son, if you will let men see me, he said, there is nothing I will not give you, nothing, I will not give you. That's the condition. If you will let men see me in ministry as I lift you, If you can hide behind the cross and let them see me, you see it. Now. Let me tell you the side effect of humility. Many people will step on your toes. Many people will take advantage of you. Many people will deliberately take advantage of your soft nature and try to rob it in. Don't worry. There are times you will feel so stupid being humble. You will wish that you had a chance to just slap it on your face for once. Let them really know that just because you are lambed doesn't mean you are not lie on you. You are still lion. But don't worry. This honor no man takes to himself. It is God who is a defender of men. God knows how to lift the humble in a way that brings shame to those who despise them. So don't say, apostle, I'm a great person, I'm a wealthy person, but every time I humble myself, there are people around. Who just don't give me the honor that should be. Don't worry. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ. Jesus that although he was God, and did not consider robbery to be called God. But for your sake he humbled himself and became like a mere man and died. Even the death on the cross is some obedience onto death. Wherefore God had so highly exalted him and given a name that is above every other name. You never go wrong being humble. Men may despise you, They will take advantage of you. They may call your humility weakness. Don't worry. When all the dost settles, you will find out that you are still above. It is the blessings of humility. Say I received grace to be and remain humble. Shouted again and received grace to be and remain humble. Let me give you the seventh key. How do you maximize chiro seasons? When you step into your opportune time, God lifting you, God announcing you, you are ripping the blessings of discernment, the blessings of alignment. Use your seasons to glorify Jesus and then to be a blessing to your world. Use your seasons and the advantage that comes with it. Use your seasons and the advantage that comes. With it, to glorify Jesus and to be a blessing. To your world. Every time you allow seasons past and all that is exalted in that season itself, you have wasted the season. When God brings you to your season of visibility, season of announce season of greatness, always have this at the back of your mind, that it is Jesus glorified, and then that you are a blessing to your world. One of the ways you get me excited is to show me how my giftings, my abilities, and any privileges. God has given me. If you can show me how to glorify Jesus and you can show me how to be a blessing to my world, then I'm all in with you. If you cannot show me how Jesus will be revealed, and if you cannot show me how lives will be blessed, you can be sure I won't be part of it. Of course, if we do, this will be known. That's too small a reason. You won't motivate me that way. But if I can see how Jesus will be revealed, it's one of the reasons why I have deep honor for Father and the Lord that did you. One of the greatest motivations as I have known in his life is to use the the I don't, for want of words, to use the motivation of souls. Once who bring the motivation of souls? It is like he's almost able to bend over back. What if he's able to? For you, what level of great necessary looking for at this age? What amount of money? What level of lifting? There are few things men can desire that God has not given him. What is motivation souls? And it's a lesson that I've learned. Believe me, and I say this in the presence of Jesus and you all. There are very few things that motivate me in my life at this level, even though I'm a young man. But there are not many things that motivate me. My greatest motivation in this life is that all I do will directly glorify Jesus, and then it will end up being a blessing to men. Is someone learning when you step into your chiro season where you suddenly become a multi billionaire, those billions I waste if you cannot show how, in addition to improving your life, will glorify Jesus directly and bring or to the saints on not to your environment. If you rise up and you'll become a doctor, a professor. Doesn't matter how many PhDs you have, how many doctorates you have, you get to the zenith of your academic pursuit if you cannot show how it will glorify Jesus or Apostle. Just to let you know that I became accredited as a fellow here. That's wonderful, But I'm not show me how we to glorify Jesus. And show me how we do better people. Oh, I just end a profit of ten billion from my business, Apostle. Okay, I'm impressed. That's a of your diligence. But I'm still listening. I've not heard Jesus glorified yet. I've not heard lives blessed yet. So your statement is incomplete. You never come and just flaunt your crowns before me. No, you will not get You will not secure my admiration for one bit. I tell you. But when you show me how. You're lifting brought about the lifting of the name of Jesus in that territory, in your fear of influence, you are speaking God's language. You are speaking my language. If you let me know how lives can be blessed, you see that our precious people had a rally over the week, and it was such a humbling experience watching a lot of them. As God prompted it in my heart. We went for a rally and I told them, let's go to the place where you meet for want of word. You meet people who cannot give you anything. They can do whatever it is, and they spend their resources, spend whatever to go just heralding the name of Jesus. And when I remember, particularly when I saw the budget for transportation alone, you have no idea, but you just imagine to have about three hundred and something to four hundred loguzeious bosses across. Just think in your mind. One boss is a forty sitter and you are having over three hundred and something of. Them every day, every day. Until the convention is done. But when I saw it, I told my people defend it, and they said, some of these pippo will not be able to afford it. And I just remembered, this is why he brought us here. I said, it is worth the price. It's worth the price. It's what the price it's worth the price. I went together, it is for the name of Jesus. Now I'm not saying this to attract your sympathy. I'm just trying to help you understand. You know what it means to secure a stadium for five days. Think about it, a stadium for five this Some of you have worked with governments, some of you who worked around those places. You know what it means. You know the properties and the things you can buy with those moneys and other things you can do. Not to talk of all that it takes to put something like this. Certainly it can be about making a name. There are cheaper ways to make a name. But when you think about the glorification of Jesus and you think about the lives that will be saved. You know, as we organize school sits around the world, I'm the one who does the altar cause. And as I watch people come out, Caucasians, Africans, Americans, Europeans, I stand there and. The vision that comes before me is just the cross. I can imagine Jesus seated on his throne and saying, this is why I died. Thank you, my dear son, for leading these people to Jesus and for me the joy once I see that happen. And then, in addition to salvation, as the word of God comes and you watch someone nodding. Sometimes the word of God is coming and you see someone quiet. Only the tears are doing the speaking. You can see that a miracle of transformation is happening. I become so motivated. Doesn't matter the time, the energy, It just evaporates. This becomes worth it all. Ladies and gentlemen, hear me. Hear me. Birthing and maintaining the move of God will cost you your own It will cost you prayer. It will cost you studdying the world. It will cost you. Stretching your relationships. It will cost you heavy finances. It will cost you your time, your energy. Sometimes it may even cost you your health. But when you remember what Jesus did on the cross, when you remember the assignment that he is given, you're worthy. Of it all. You're worthy of it all. Far from you our old things. To you are old things. You deserve the globe for the time the energy is spent, your worthy of it all. We do this for Jesus and for his kingdom. Your worthy of your. Fall from you. And jim. Days us globe we're seeing one more time. Let it rise from your heart to the throne. You're You're. All from you hands. What's stepping this week. Into a Chiros moment for me as a person, for us as a global ministry, I believe for the body of Christ in Nigeria. I saw a video delegates coming in from. Kenya and other parts of the nation. Some of them are in their hundreds. I mean, I was almost in tears, and I said, look what hunger dose two people? Look what passion dose to people? I mean delegates of pastors. Literally some of them are already around. Some of them are locked up long wait times at the airport, but they consider it worth it to arrive because they want to particke of a fire that does not fall all the time. Sometimes it falls once twice in every generation. My assignment is to help sell the altars, and we have done so by the spirit. My assignment is to put the living sacrifice. We did the sacrifice ourselves. My assignment is to pour water. But when I'm done, then I step back and I say, God of Heaven, you are the one who answers the generation by fire. We have allowed bail enough time to call upon your God. It's time for the God that answers by fire. Let the fire fone let the wrive of the loon. Let it burn it inside, let it flow outside. Let the fire, let the rive flow, let. It burning outside, let it flow outside, let the fire, let. It turn inside. We're rapping on. Give me a minute to speak to the Body of Christ. There are men that God raises, not. For themselves, not for a church, not for. A ministry, not for a denomination. They are raised for a generation. They are raised for a dispensation. The General Assembly is not like every other conference. It's not like every other convention. Is beyond a ministry's global convergence. It may have started that way, but the momentum that has been built in the spirit has gone beyond a Coinonia issue. This is now the Body of Christ. This is not even a Nigerian thing. Again. God has found by messy, a people and a platform through which he wants to speak something that will literally be a shift to a generation. We are honored to be at the threshold of something prophetic. I remember, and I'm happy his Royal Highness is here. Dr Miles Monroe greatly revered meant so. I remember the morning he died. I was in worry. I went to preach, and that morning I woke up and I literally felt a physical sharp pain, sharp pain. I said, what's going on? God forbid you know? And he just left and I laid down, and it was I think it was very early in the morning. And reports just reached me and they said he was traveling for a conference and he died. Together with his wife, the vice president. The wife died, and I thought to myself, I said, God, why, But I thought again, I said, well, I count you faithful. And then I remembered a scripture. That came to me that Abel, though dead, yet speaking, he immortalized this impact in some of us, that apostolic dimension he brought to the body of Christ. Some saw it, some ignored it. But we thank God that some of us were able to see that star and we embraced it. And today, in addition to many of that graces we have received, we are running with. It is the reason why we don't just change men, we change nations. We don't just disciple men with disciple nations. I remember his passion that he had for the Third World. He set up a Third World Forum with a great desire to reach into Africa. He's long gone, but we're happy that we're alive. If Christ tirist after many. Years, indeed, some of us will join the cloud. Of witnesses too. We have the privilege of having at least two or three generations still alive in Nigeria, and these convergence will be imagining of generations. There are not many times that God brings us that honor. When I was told that our mother and the Lord had decided to come along, I said. This is it. When you have a father and a mother together from biology, you know that birthing is possible, you know that transparence is possible. I knew, and I'm saying this openly, and it's an honor. Will communicate my gratitude when they come by the message of God. I've been in the system. It is a profound privilege that is by revelation, not just to have that it's your come. This one is not just coming to us a generation called and the answer, the answer, the answer. It's a profound honor. Come Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. As we wrap up with sound of Reviver, my prayer, my personal prayer, is not just healing's miracles, signs and wonders. Not that I don't want to see. My prayer is, Oh God, whatever must drop for a generation, let it drop through the declarations, whatever most drop, the imagines of the next level. Daddy geos, the next level, mommy geos in business. And some of you are coming from Kenya, coming from Uganda. God has used you as that first foot to come and take something that is holy and important back. I'm telling you, I pray from my heart that this will bring a shift across the spiritual climate of Africa, that it will bring a shift across the spiritual climate of Europe. Now let me tell you this. We are not the only ones God is using this way, but in this season, respect what God is doing. There is a loud statement that He's making and we are honored. My encouragement to the Body of Christ. Past us watching membership across different denominations. Let's keep away. All the nuances and sentiments of denominationalism and together, let us convert under one umbrella. It's a clarion call. God has called for a solemn assembly. The fathers have heard. Generations have heard. Let us convert together and watch what God will say over this nation, over our lives, over the Body of Christ, and over the seasons that are coming. I want to thank everyone. Who's been involved in publicity, prayers. Invitation, fast things. There are people who begun fasting even before we started our fasting officially. It's amazing people who have been around. They have been interceding from the time we announced it. You cannot imagine the sacrifices that people have made. We're going to pray tonight. After tonight, the next place we meet would be at the stadium, glorifying Jesus. Please rise up on your feet. Oh come, oh, come in man, well, hand run some cap tiv's Rayah. Oh come, oh comeing man, well, hand run some cap. TV RAYA regions em. Well has come to us his eas Yeah, region regions in man. Well, you have come to us your ease. Yeah. We about your pray. When you step into a chiros moment, you meet with Jesus, but you also meet with the men He has sent to open your eyes and grant you access to investments of the spirit. By the grace of God as a ministry, by the grace of God, as a generation, we can say, by messy we have seen Jesus, we have tasted of his grace and his power. But God this week is sending us men in. The order of an anayas some of you have met them across several meetings. It is not the same. Jesus of Nazareth is different. From Jesus Christ. If you meet him on your way to Nazareth, it's a different thing when you meet him in his capacity as Jesus the Christ. He said, who do men say that I am? He said, I know who thou art. You are, Christ, the Son of the Living God. We're going to pray first for yourself, then we pray once for the meeting, and we're done for the night. I don't know what your expectations are before the Lord, but in this Chiros moment, a window, a portal is being open over the body of Christ. Whether you are going to be there on site, whether you are going to be there online. Please lift your voice in the next one minute and cry out your expectations. Holloah they hollah do do. They do? They? Hollo odday? Holladay day? They are you praying a lot of signs and ones? Save you're reading? Come and man it past your power? Do they? Oh? God, up signs, save your reading. Coment panic past your. Power, O God of sign time. Say waiting. Many last your father, follow up. Cry out to aspect. You should follow up. Gara, call father, visits me, give me an encounter. Someone is praying. Let you be a shift in my ministry. Let you be a shift in my business. Let there be a shift. Oh, let there be a deposits of divine things. Let me step into a new prophetic season as a businessman, as a man of God. Someone pray as a parent, as a politician. Pray for Nigeria that will step into a new season. Pray for the church in Africa. Let this bring such a powerful move of the spirit from Khana to South Africa, from Kanya to Uganda, to Kotifua to Congo, ther seed, from uk to China, the Middle East. Let it be a. Revaporation of light and power. Someone go ahead and pray shot back. Captain, pray ca at us. We cry for a divine visitation from that stadium beaming to the ends of the earth, across every state in Nigeria, across every few weeks centers. Let there be an awakening. Let mantles fall, Let crisis be released in Jesus' mighty name. We pray. In Jesus' most victorious name. We pray. Allelujah. I'm about to make the out call. Well, let me say this. Please make sure that you define your expectations with God by whose faith is vision dependent. I appreciate the crowd. Of people coming all over the world, but when you have people who just come to get excited with no vision, you might leave disappointed. Have clear expectations. Lord, this is what I desire that you do in my life. This is what I desire that you do in my nation. Don't just traveling with the flag of your nation and wave it. Let the waving be that Lord, we are. Crying for a visitation. There's the reason why God has granted us grace to hold that meeting at the stadium. I believe it is prophetic and will know why in the course of the convention. Glory to Jesus. Give Jesus a big hand, clerk. Alida. Now everyone please stand, let's honor the altar call. Tonight for someone you're defining season is that you encounter Jesus. You are in this place, and on hearing me speak, you know that you do not have. A functional relationship with Jesus. You're a good person, perhaps, but you cannot say of it, Shorty, that today I have a functional relationship with Jesus. I want you to give me the honor of leading you to this one. Who has changed my life, our lives, the rock behind this vision, and the one who's empowered us to do the things we're doing for the kingdom. Wherever you are, I'm going to count one to five, and I'm. Looking for a bold, sincere person who wants to win that war of destiny tonight. Two calls in one. On the one hand, someone who is, say an apostle, I love the things you have shared. The Holy Ghost has convicted me. I cannot say I've made it right with Jesus. I want to make it right with him right now. On the other hand, I'm calling on someone who is, say, an apostle. I remember making it right at one time, but as it stands right now, honestly, I cannot say I'm walking in a healthy, functional relationship with Jesus. I want to dedicate my life wherever you are. I count one to five up the balcony, across all the overflows spilling into outside. Please, wherever you are, begin to step forward as I count one to five, your bags, your Bibles everything you came. To church with. One. God bless you. Less, celebrate them as they come. God bless your Coinoni, are you celebrating salvation? Two? God bless you. Bless you, My dear sister. You don't have to kneel. Please come, keep clapping, celebrate them as they come. Thank you, Thank you. This is for your destiny, but this extends for your children, for those who will come out of your life. Three. Keep clapping. Don't stop clapping until the last person is here. If you're coming to make haste those who are coming from outside, Let's celebrate salvation as they come forward in the name of Jesus Christ. Alle Lujah. You're joining them, Join them quickly. Thank you, Thank you so much. Thank you. It gives the Father joy to see many come to Jesus. The Bible says, as many who will come to him Jesus, it will in no wise despise, it will be no wise cast away. I want to thank you, my dear brothers and sisters. And for those of you who are connected falling online, you can make that decision right where you are, whether you're following by television, you're falling from any of our viewing centers, or you are connected just on the internet, across our social media platforms. This is your chance, your knight, your opportunity to make it right with Jesus. Can I ask you to lift your hands high above your head for those of you who are here, as a sign of total surrender. Then you say this loud and say this is clear after me, Say Lord Jesus, tonight I have heard your word. I believe you are the son of God. I believe you died for my sins. I believe you rose again for my justification. Right now I receive Jesus into my heart as my savior, my Lord, and my King. I declare that the power of sain saytan hell and the grave is broken over my life. From tonight. I'm a child of God. I love the Lord, and I will walk in his ways all the days of my life. A man. Keep your hands lifted, Father, thank you for these precious ones. They have come declared your lordship over their lives, and the Bible says, as many who come to you, you will in no why it's cast away. I declare that your authority of scripture, your sins are forgiven. From tonight I call you bona fide recipients of the life of God, and upon your profession of faith, I declare that you are recipients of His life, his grace and is messy. You am powered from tonight to live. The victorious Christian life, and for you it is for whatever and backward never in the name of Jesus. Amen and amen. Please look to my right, that would be your left. From where you are, there are counselors who will have a word with you very quickly, and. Then you'll be back to your seat. Let's all know them as they go. Keep clapping, celebrate them, keep clapping, keep clapping. Alleluiah, praise the name of the Lord. Again. I want to say thank you to everyone. I'm about to speak over your life for the week before we begin. The conference the convention. Thank you so very much. I want to say thank you, and it's always an honor to have you. Thank you. You'll be with us all through the convention. Such a profound and humble man of God, Your Royal Highness, thank you so much honor to have you and your team. Thank you so much. The Lord bless you. In Jesus' name, I decree and declare over your life. Be blessed in Jesus' name. Be blessed in Jesus' name. This week your head is anointed with oil, and your cop runs over.

Let this be the week you will see the hand of God like you have never said. Let this be the week you will hear glad tidings like you have never heard. What your eyes seeing righteousness, your hands will handle it. This week I declared a week of pleasant and surprises. I declared a week of supernatural encounters in the name of Jesus. Every plot by hell to make this week a week of pain and tears and regret, we cancel it. Now. In Jesus name. We speak over those who are traveling from across the globe coming. We declare they are blessed. While in the air they are blessed, while on the road they are blessed. At sea, no one will die on their way to this convention in the name of Jesus Christ. And we decree and declare by the power of the Holy Spirit, that which God has purposed for us as a ministry, as the Body of Christ, as a nation, and as a continent, we will receive the package in fool. In the name of Jesus. Father, we give you all the praise for this.
