I really counted an honor to serve Jesus. I love him with all my heart, and this is why we do the things that we do, including that which He will do through us tonight, and so I'm really honored to be here. Thank you so much. I'm going to ask us to pray for a few minutes and then we'll get straight to the world. I believe that there is a lot the Lord will want us to have tonight, so we're ready to pray in a few minutes. I just like us to stretch in the spirit, asking him for grace, grace, to understand, grace, to be transformed. Go ahead and pray in the spirit. Shalibaka sapran deheb lac sabs. We love you and we are expected shakataballaka. Praying the spirit for a few minutes. That includes those who are following online. Those are the overflows. Her batter called chapradabada, but doesn't speak to us of God. For in Jesus mighty name we pray. In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. One of the things that we must crave for in the presence of God is not just to hear a preacher speak intelligently, not just to admire the moments, but it's important for us to understand. According to Hebrews eleven un verse six, the Bible says he that onto God must believe first that he exists, and then number two, that He is the rewarder, not of those who are around where He is those that diligently seek him. Allelujah. And so as much as the church is a place of excitement, we must be careful so that we do not drift into destruction and waste prophetic moments. Allelujah. I truly believe that this is a night for an encounter for someone. And if that is you, shout a loud amen. In the name of Jesus, Father, help us again. We submit to you, and we thank you for grace. By the power of the Holy Spirit, lift us, help us, build us, transform us, grant us superior understanding of your ways. And in the name of Jesus, let our lives command results to the glory of the name of Jesus. Amen and Amen, please be seated, Please be seated, allelujah. Every time God wants to help a man, he helps his understanding. Every time God wants to help a man, sustainably. He helps his understanding. He may birth a miracle to manage the situation at the moment, but the way God really helps people is to help you understanding. That is why the Holy Spirit is called the helper, and his primary assignment is to bring to us understanding. Is called the Spirit of truth. He says, when he the Spirit of Truth is come, he will guide you into all truth. Allelujah. Prays the name of the Lord. The number of things I want us to discuss tonight, And wherever we stop tonight, we pray, and then we continue tomorrow. I'm teaching on the laws of exploits. The laws of exploits, What does it take to not just produce signs and wonders, but do become a sign and a wonder yourself. The Bible is a compendium of limitless possibilities, and God has spoken great things concerning the sains. But whether or not we step into the experience of God's desire is left to us. He's given us his word, he's given us his love, He's given us the Holy Spirit. He's made available onto us everything that pertains onto life and godliness. Allelujah. And so it's up to us now. To yield to the spirit of God and to yield to his word, so that our understanding be quickened, and then we obtain grace to work in the experience of that which turns us into science and wonders. The first thing I want to talk about is the necessity for extraordinary results. Results are not everything in the kingdom, but it is unwise and childish to downplay results. Let me start from that point. Are we together? Results are very important as far as the excelling of the believer is concerned, as far as the glorification of the Christ is concerned. So my first I want to start from this point. It is important for you and I to understand that there is a major role that results have to play in our lives, in the advancement of God's program, in the conversion of seiners. Are we together? It is very important. You may have heard me say that results are evangelists. There is a kind of salmon only results can preach, and there is an audience that has been designed to only listen to results. Allelujah. It is important that believers produce extraordinary results. John chapter fifteen and verse eight, hearing is our Father glorified? The Bible says, when ye bear much fruit, so shall you be my disciples John fifteen sixteen. You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you and ordained you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain Efficients to ten. We are His workmanship recreated in Christ Jesus. The Bible says, onto good walks, which God had before ordained that we should work in them, we sell together efficients three ten to the intent that now onto principalities and powers might be made manifest by the Church, the manifold, multifaceted wisdom of God John chapter four and verse forty eight. Jesus was speaking to the woman at the well and said, except ye see miraculous signs and wonders, it says, you will not believe. Listen, ladies and gentlemen, you most settle it for a fact that the only way God's program makes tangible progress in this world that seeks for a sign is when your life commands ever increasing consistent results. No body leaves what works. Allelujah. You can argue about what works. You can work in denial, but no body. Technology has not invented a mechanism to ignore results. No, everywhere you see results. Even if it is the burning bush, you cannot ignore it. Allelujah. So it's important for us to appreciate God's intent in conferences like this, that he wants to show us his ways. He desires that our lives command results. Matthew, Chapter five, from verse thirteen, Jesus was speaking, and he said, he are the salt of the earth. The salt of the earth, profound description, he says, But if the salt has lost its lever or saltiness, where we shall it be made? Salt is good for nothing but to be thrown under foot and trampled by men. Then it says you are the light of the world. You are a city that is set on a heel that cannot be hidden. It says, neither do men light a lamp and put it under a bushel, but that they put it on a lambstand a candlestick, so that it gives lights to all who are in the room. Then verse sixteen says your light. Now that you know you are the light, it says, let your light. It's another way of saying, let your life so shine before men, not before spirits, not before angels. He wants your lights to so shine, so shine shine to the extent that you cannot ignore it. It says that men may see your good works and glorify your father, and glorify your father. This is how they glorify your father. When your life becomes a living epistle, a capture of the multifastceted dimensions of God's power, God's wisdom, God's grace, and praying for someone already whatever keeps you ordinary, that your life has not become a testament of God's faithfulness, provoking people to love Jesus, provoking people to serve him. In the name of Jesus, I pray from tonight that you step into the supernatural. You step into super a natural living by the spirit. Jesus met a woman at the well Allelujah, and then they began a discussion. She perceived that he was a prophet, and she began to ask him several questions. The Bible says that woman was so impacted by that encounter she left her fetcher, left her part, and the Bible says she ran immediately to the city. Her limitations left immediately. She forgot that she was once a woman who nobody would even listen to. That encounter brought confidence to her. She could there people. She once ran away from her, said, come see a man. Forget about me. I have become an advocate of a man. Come see a man that told me everything I've done. How witness was so compelling, The Bible says, they came not because they believed Jesus how witness They knew the woman how witness was too compelling to be ignored. The Bible says, they came now when they met Jesus, they said about this that we now believe, not because of what she has said. We have seen for ourselves. Acts chapter four and verse thirty three, the Bible says, and with great power gave witness of the resurrection. The apostles gave witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, and he says, great grace was upon them all with great power gave the apostles weakness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Allelujah. It's important that we command science and wonders. It is important that our lives become an effulgence of the supernatural. Do you believe this? In Acts Chapter eight, from verse five, the Bible says Philip went down to Samaria, and there he preached Christ onto the people. The next verse says, the people listen with one accord to the things that Philip speak. Hearing, notice hearing, and in the miracles that he did hearing. If it is God's business, people must hear and see. The world is tired of hearing. They need to see. That's why I was blessed by that song. Manifest your power, let us see it. It says all that man will praise the Lord for his goodness and for his wonderful walks to the children of men. Are we together now? Yes? I made up my mind as a covenant with my destiny that I will never live an ordinary life now, and this is not just about some human ambition. I found out that if you truly love the Lord, you will hate an ordinary life. The reason is because your whole life's mission is to project Jesus, and your passion, if you truly love him, must be to give the best presentation. Are we together now? Nothing beats the supernatural, Nothing beats genuine results in representing Jesus. When John came and sent the disciples in offense and anger and said, come and ask Jesus, are you the Messiah? Or should we expect another. Jesus did not answer. He told the people who watch me. He began to lay hands on the sick, he began to heal. He began to do all of these things, and said, go back and tell John what you have seen. What sign was given to him when the Messiah shows up. The Messiah was not supposed to be a noisemaker. He was supposed to be a miracle worker, a witness, a testament of God's love. The Bible never said, for God so love that you speak. For God so loved that he gave. The greatest way to show love is in the demonstration, more than speaking. When I came to you, he said, I did not come with the excellency of speech, but in the demonstration of power, that your faith will not be founded upon sophia the wisdom of men, but upon the power of God. Again, I pray for some one in the name of Jesus Christ, the grace that causes men to evolve until they walk in the supernatural inexperience. May it rest upon you tonight in the name of Jesus Christ. And so it's important for you to know that God desires and he is glorified when you produce results when you bear fruit. Jesus frowned that fruitlessness and demonstrated it in Mark chapter eleven when he cost a fig tree. The Bible tells us that he came to a fig tree, and he saw the fig tree. I thought Jesus would be motivated that at least it had green leaves. There was no sparing. The Bible says, immediately he cost it and said, no fruit will come out of you again. And by the next day it had withered. The messy for God didn't show messy for lack of results. Do you know why? Because the tree was connected to the earth. All the resources to produce results were within its rich and he said, you are taken from the earth. There is no excuse for not producing results. He costed by disconnecting it to the earth and it with that. I want to see the Lord glorified in my life. I want to see the nations love Jesus because of my life. I want to see someone safe because they look at my life. Yes, and whatever it would take as far as been the best representation of God's possibilities that my life can capture, that becomes my project. Do you believe this? Yes? All I want is for you, for you to be love, for you to believed. All lie want. It is for you, for you, you to big Love, for you to be believe. Hallaiwa. It is for you you to big Lord, for you to be believed. They saw the apostles the early Church. This way ordinary men, ladies and gentlemen. But they encounter the power of the Holy Spirit. They encountered the wisdom of God, and their lives were strange. They became living epistles inexperience. They would enter cities as single individuals and shut down the cities without going to a radio station. Shut down the cities for Jesus, not for the intent of making a name my God. These were men that lived like gods upon the earth. If it is true that you love the Lord, it's important to begin to re examine the reason why your life is not producing results. This is beyond making progress. No, this is passion for God demonstrated in the dexterity of your life. That it becomes impossible for anybody to look at your life and forget God. Your life becomes it compels men to remember God. If they try to ignore him, God sends you to their face, and the moment they see you. Because you have become a mirror. You compel them to remember that there is a God in heaven. Allelujah? Do you believe this? Let me make one more statement. It has become an anthem in my life. It's a revelation that God gave me. Reverend Sam that the end of the believer's journey with God is that your life becomes, in experience, the manifestation of the glory of God. This is God's goal for every one of us. When God begins the journey with the believer, listen to me. God's goal for the believer is not just heaven. No. God's goal for the believer is not just healing. No. Everybody Jesus healed still died. God's goal for the believer. Everybody who eats the bread still perished. They still were hungry. Away together God's goal. It's important for you to know when you begin business with God, to what end? Why is he intentional? Like Moses Plassan, What is behind his passion and his obsession? What is behind his vulnerability for man? To the point that the Psalm is, who say what is man? Could there be something you have hidden in man that man himself does not understand what is man? That you are mindful of him? Have you lost your creativity? Can't you fade away this species and build another one. Why if the man would reject God and say we reject you, and God would give them over to their enemies. Later he will come by himself. What is man? Are we learning already? So it's important for you to know that God's goal for my life and for your life is that you evolve in experience until you become a manifestation of the glory of God, the glory of God. Don't forget that word glory. The glory of anything is a description of why that thing is admirable, why that thing is valuable. So when you talk about the glory of a thing, you have to break it to the various compositions. Describing the glory of a thing is just define why it is expensive, or just define why it is desirable. The glory of an expensive phone is in describing its features. You have to tell us why that phone is one million, why it is two million, Why is it not one hundred thousand. So you begin to talk about the features like speed, you know, portability and other things. So when you talk about the glory of God. You are talking about all the compositions in God that makes him that glorious, that majestic, that wise. The glory of God is a companion of his favor, his wisdom, his power. To really understand the glory of God, you have to break all of those facets of God and examine them as much as you can. And this is God's God for the believer, that my life becomes a capture of the glory of God, manifested in his wisdom, manifested in his power, all of those dimensions. But there are three. There are three components that if they are missing in your life, we cannot say your life is carrying glory. Glory is a capture of many dimensions of God. But there are three of them that represent the pillers of glory. The Bible says, let not the wise man glory in his way. Wisdom that is the first pillar of glory, wisdom. Everywhere you find glory, you first find wisdom. Number two. Neither the mighty man or the powerful man glory in his mind, so we see power. And then the third is wealth riches both from a secular standpoint and in the spirit. Every time you describe glory regardless what parameters you use, these three must be represented. They were found in Solomon's life, they were found in David's life. They are all found in heaven. Are we together? Now? It is impossible to talk about the glory of God ignoring his wisdom, ignoring his power, ignoring his wealth. And I hope you know when I talk about wealth, I'm not talking of money. You never heard me say money, because God does not use money. Are we together? So? God desires that our lives become a manifestation of His glory and experience. Now, the second thing I want to talk about is exploits in the kingdom is governed by laws. Laws. Exploits in the Kingdom. The ability to command results, the ability to produce extra ordinary results in and through your life is governed by spiritual laws. I'm broadly speaking, Please let me have your attention. Broadly speaking, there are two kinds of knowledge that every believer must interact with if you want your life to produce. Broadly speaking, number one, the Bible calls it the knowledge of Him. You need to know God. Number two, you need to understand the principles of the Kingdom. So broad speaking, these are the two kinds of knowledge that you must have in experience Number one, the knowledge of Him God himself. When you begin your journey to exploit, and you start by learning principles, you will live a defeated life. The believers journey starts with God. Before his ways are we together? God is greater than his ways. Your passion must be driven to his person first before his ways. Are we together? Now? Yes, so, the Bible says in Daniel chapter eleven and verse thirty two. Be it says, but the people that do know their God. It never said the people that do know his ways. It never said the people that do know his principles. Because in order of divine priority, the journey to way believers exploit starts with his knowledge of God. The people that do know their God, they shall be strong, and the Bible says they shall do Who exploits? Everybody says do exploit. I like that scripture. There are people who talk exploits, There are people who wish exploits. There are people who witness exploits. But there are those who do exploits, the people who do know their God. Second pe Tou Chapter one, from verse two and three. Second pe Tou Chapter one, are we still together Second Peter one, two and three. The Bible says, grace and peace be multiplied to you, how through the knowledge, not of it, not through the knowledge of things. It is not every kind of knowledge that imparts grace. It is the knowledge of a person that imparts grace. There are many believers who know many spiritual things and wonder why they are not getting grace as they know the things, because grace was connected to the knowledge of a person, not the knowledge of things. Are we together grace and peace being multiplied to you through the knowledge of God and of our Lord Jesus Christ. The next verse Fleece verse three. According us his divine power have given us all things that pertain onto life and godliness again through the knowledge of Him, say the knowledge of Him John seventeen and verse three, this is life eternal, that they may know thee the One True God and Jesus, whom thou hast sent. Jesus is praying and he says, this is life eternal. That means the administration of eternal life, tamping into the riches that come with eternal life. Is predicated upon the knowledge of the Only True God and Jesus, him son, his son whom He has sent, so most believers have not paid the price to know God. Listen, Please, your confidence, the audacity that you receive in this kingdom is a product of your knowledge of God. You cannot stand before mountains and just speak, ladies and gentlem me. No, your encounter must be bigger than your obstacles, otherwise you cannot prevail. Hallelujah. Exploits does not start with the pursuit of things. No, you try to learn faith without God. You try to learn principles without God, you will be frustrated. Eventually. The correct protocol to accessing grace for exploits starts with your passion and your hunger for God. Look at it in the life of the disciples. When He called them, he said, follow me, not follow it. Follow me. I am the one who will make you eat. Cannot make you no. Follow me, and I will make you follow me. And he began to make them, teaching them about himself and teaching them about the kingdom. Eventually they translated from ordinary men and they become fearful apons. These are they that turned the world upside down. Allelujah. Yes, the knowledge of God, the God that you know is the God that you present to your generation? Did you hear what I said? The God that you have encountered? Moses, you cannot talk to Pharaoh about a god who you have not met. And Moses said, who shall I tell? Pharaoh has sent me? Pharaoh had encountered other gods. But you claim to be different? What makes you different? What do I need to know about you? Can I tell you? The labor that many people go through trying to learn With all due respect, the labor that many people go through trying to learn faith is because most people do not have an encounter with God. Most of those who walked in faith learned about faith as a teaching minimally. It was their encounter that brought such confidence. Who taught David about faith? He encountered God, and he said, please, Soul, allow me take this man. And they said, whosna you? What kind of boldness is this? The veterans of war in Israel they stood afraid of this beast, and here comes a teenager saying, I can't take him. Come on, and the king said, all right, take my amory. He said, no, I was not trained with this. And he stood before Goliath with his sling, and Goliath said, am I a dog you've not had about what I do. And he said, you come to me with your fairs and your boes. But I come to you in a name. I met someone in the wilderness. My confidence is based on what he told me. What has God told you that makes you to not run away from challenges? The God that you know, man of God, business man in this cruel, be devil, selfish and wicked world. You need an encounter bigger than challenges, otherwise you cannot stand. But I know whom I have believed. I didn't just believe him. I know whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he's able to keep that which is committed onto him against that day? Are we learning now to know him? To know him? When I found this secret? No matter how long it takes to know God, it's not a wasteful investment, m because out of that knowledge will come wonders. You will command wonders that are not given to ordninary men. I'm telling you this. Are we together in our world today? There are people who are respected not because of their status, because of who they know. Even if they're lying, the confidence connected to their lives can convince you and he said, no, no, no, no. This guy, the way he's talking, I'm sure he knows the President. I said, don't joke with me, especially if they can show you a picture, an evidence. Even when you don't believe, you are forced to respect if this man knows this man, then I need to be careful. But the people that do know their God life will ask you who sent you? Are we together? You believe what I'm saying, Yes, you see, when you know the God of the Bible, then you will know what he can do. I'm just opening you up to see this first dimension of knowledge. Now, for many the average believer, the moment you talk about the knowledge of God, they shut down immediately. But when you tell them receive breakthrough. I'm not against that. I'm not being sarcastic. Receive breakthrough or look, let things change in your life. They say, amen, you are going to live a weak and defeated life, perpetually chasing after people. Real strength in the Kingdom is the from an encounter real strength. The people that do know their God, they shall be strong strong. You can look at twenty twenty four and say, you will become as I have called you, and it will ask you based on what Why should I obey you? Jesus, I know t all, I know who are you? Allelujah? He had died in my life honestly when I had an encounter with God. Don't mistaking this for pride is the truth. One of the ways that you conquer fear is to truly have an encounter with God. When you know who God is. There are certain most of us the fear that is in our life is not a demonic attack. It's a state of ignorance that was taken advantage of by demon spirits. Are we together now? The knowledge of God is threefold. Let me just say this. If you want to know God, I hope you know you can know God. As mysterious as God looks, he wants to be known. And there are three ways according to Scripture, we study God. Number one his nature and character. The first way to know God is to study his nature and his character. Are we learning now? I'm not going to talk much about that. I just want to give you this as a revelation. When you know the nature and the character of God, there are some things you will believe about God, and there are other things you will stop believing immediately. Are we together. If you get a text now in your phone and some scammer says, I am Reverend Sam, come and meet me somewhere. Because you know his nature and his care, you know what he can do. That becomes the basis of what you believe and what you do not believe, you will hardly become a victim of foolishness in the presence of knowledge. Are we together now? Yes? So you started the character of God to know God. For instance, if let me use a gentleman. Can I have any gentleman? Just come, anyone? Come, come, come now, watch this. Let me use this gentleman. Everyone look at this. Assuming I want to send you to give him something, and you do not know him, you have never met him, I can use his nature and character to describe him for you. I will tell you when you enter that office, look at a gentleman. He is generally came. He usually likes to wear black. When you see a gentleman, most likely he will greet you. You see, you can use that description to start scouting for people and with precision. Sometimes as soon as you enter, you say you must be the one. Are you come with confidence like you're a prophet, and say you are so, so, he says, yes, he said, here's your message. I use his nature to help you identify him. If God are scattered around and you are asked to choose the true God, can you point that this is God and not an idol. Most believers don't know God. They don't even know how to identify him. Are we together? There are things God will not do, and there are things God always does. For instance, the Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, and rich in love. This is a description of God's character. Are we together now? Yes, Righteousness and justice, the Bible says, At the foundations of his strown. The Bible says, watch this now, that His messes are new every morning. Now put all this description your work with God immediately. The fear of doom lives your life. That it is true that God is just, but his messy trialms over his judgment. It doesn't put you in a state of carelessness, but it becomes a consolation that you are working with a God that loves you. Number Two, When God demands that you love him and serve him, he also lets you know that the character of love is that he gives, and no one outgives. God so you don't feel cheated giving you all to God, because there is a consolation in your work with God. He is not a cruel king who is just asking you to give offering, give money, worship him, come to chruch, and there is nothing in place for you. Know that is against the very nature of love. You are my God. Now it's not a special num by say revelation. You are my God. For you my God, Ah, you are my God. Do you believe this? Al forever be chang enoughter you. Since I've found that you are my God, I'll be change enoughter you. That al forever be chang enoughter you, I'll be changing enoughter you. So when men ask you, why do you look like a fool serving God? What is the need for you? You tell him Number one, I save him because I love him. But number two, there is such a plan in his dealings with me. Are we together? Now? He gave his son, and you have no idea of the exceeding, great and precious promises he has for me. I serve him because I love him, But I do not serve in vain. There are consolations. The disciples came to ask him a question. We have given all to follow you. It is not in his nature to rob men. No, you do not serve God and go down. This becomes your motivation to serve, even in church, supervised or not. You spend your life like a fool and allow them naysay us, laugh and say sorry for the remaining part of their lifetime as they see God begin to showcase through your life what it means to be loved by God. If someone learning. Many believers are in church, but they do not know God. They cannot identify God, and so the devil plays with their minds and he gives them all kinds of vain descriptions of God. And they attempted to believe until they believe that God is cruel, until they believe that God is a fraud star, and then they extend that pain to everyone who represents him. Are we together? Yes? The Lord is loving, his gracious Go and read your Bible and see what he did with ordinary men who dared to trust him. Whoever told you that this God that you serve is said here to scam you to what end? To what profit? He was God before your arrival? What glory does he get leaving you cheated that you gave him your life, you gave him your finances, you gave him your all. Oh ladies and gentlemen, please hear me. The Bible says, but our light afflictions, which is but for a moment that it work at him, not a far exceeding weight of glory. I will worship him forever, Love him forever, because this God is too Hud. I will worship you forever, Love you forever. Because the nation of Israel, where taughts this, the very nature of God became their formula for victory. Reverend Sam, every time your enemies encompass them, and it was clear that defeats were imminent, they would drop their weapons and begin to invoke him. You are good and your messes and Joe forever. We cannot fight this fight the enemies. It is clear that defeat is imminent. We need your nature introduced into this equation. You cannot command results until you know God. So when God tells you twenty twenty four, I say, bless Yeah. You don't art you around saying God, can you prove it? No? We are men with our frailties. But if Reverence Sam tells you meet me at the office tomorrow and take one million you will start I testifying even though you've not collected it. That is faith. Nobody educated you. His integrity, his character became your instructor. It taught you how faith works. There are many salmons, respectfully speaking, that I just a replacement for the bankruptcy of knowing God. They will not be necessary if we press to know God. Thank you. There are three dimensions. Let me just talk about one. Are you ready? How do I know God by the study of His nature and his character. When you study the nature of God, you will understand what God can do. Read the entire Psalm one or three. I have read my Bible by the privilege of God's grace. There is no chapter in the Bible that captures a display of God's nature like Some one O three. Some one O three is the richest capture of God's nature and character in my study. It says, just give us Verse one, bless the Lord, oh my soul, and all that is within me. Bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, oh my soul, and forget not his benefits. Then the Bible leasts five of them. There are five of those benefits. Number one who forgives your sins, Number two who heals your diseases, Number three, who delivers your soul from destruction. Number four, who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies. Honor Number five, who satisfies your mouth with good things, so that your youth is renewed like an eagle. Now when you begin to read from verse three, the Lord executed righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed, and right to the end it describes for you the nature of God. Let me give everybody assignmenting righteous Go and study some one or three devoid. Start this year knowing the God you are serving, not the one who is leading you. So you are not confused, are we together? So let me give you the second aspect, the knowledge of God. Just for the sake of this discussion. One of the ways we know God again is by the study of his power efficient Chapter one, from verse eighteen to twenty one. Efficients watch this now, the Bible says, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what is the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints. Please, let's shout verse nineteen together. Ready, one to go, and what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us world who believe according to the working of his mighty power. In fact, you can't stop there. One of the ways we know God is to study his power. Come and manifest your power. Detail. Hey, oh God of signs and wonders, save your reading. Come and manifest your power. Detail, Oh, God of signs and wonders, save your reading. Come and manifest your power. Come and manifest your power. Come and show for your power. Elijah said, let the God that answers by fire, let him be the God, even if you do not know his name. Wait for his power. Harm and manifest your power. Did they listen? In construction, we have very major construction companies, and there are times you can know a block that was made by you know, just some well meaning person, and one that was made by a serious construction company. And sometimes when you see certain blocks, they are almost casted like concrete. They pour them down and yet they don't break before you see. To verify work company, you just know that whatever this company is, it has to be a solid company to have produced this. You can use the works of God to verify that he's there. So when Moses went to Pharaoh. Pharaoh said, he said, Toss said the Lord God of the Hebrews, that is not a name. Let my people go. And Pharaoh laughed, and he said, I'm done talking. He threw his rod, and the rod became a serpent. And then the pharaoh also called his magicians and they repeated the same thing. But there are things only God can do. Did you hear what I said? Ah, there are things only God can do. Only God can do. Do you know in all of the recordings in scripture there were evil spirits who mimic many things that God could do. One of the things that I never saw Satan do was a resurrection. No, no, no. They healed Belzhebob did certain things. But there are certain things say to cannot do when you look the extent. This is pose prayer that you understand the extent of His power. So every time you say God, like Lazarros, if you were here, our brother would not have died. But she said, even now someone prophes high, even now, Ah, God, you didn't do it last year, Because in his economy there is no such thing as delay. He can come. He can have comm and manifest your power to the com and manifest your power. Come and manifesty your power, Oh God of signs and wonders, Save you reading man, comment, manifest your power to the one more time old God of science and wonders. Save your. Manifest your power. I truly believe that there are people here that what God will begin to do in your life. There are people who had no names in the Bible, but they were described by the spectacular manifestations of the hand of God upon their life. Are we together? Who was born blind? I mean, why was this man who's saying that this man was born blind? Him or his father? Jesus said, that's not the issue. Now with an opportunity for the glory of God to be made manifest. The first miracle recorded in scripture, according to John's synoptic account, is found in John chapter two, Allelujah, the wedding in Kenna of Galilee. By the time we get to first five, the Bible says, Mary, call the people and said, whatsoever he tells you to do, do, then we get to first ten, give us first, And the Bible says this beginning of miracles verse okay eleven. Now this beginning of miracles did Jesus in galile canet of Galilee and manifested his glory, and the disciples believed on him. This beginning he did stop there. Then by the time we go to John chapter twenty and verse thirty, give it to us please, John chapter two begins the miracles John chapter twenty and verse thirty, and many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book. Thirty one, it says, but these are written that he might believe. You can believe in Jesus by seeing it demonstration of his power. Anytime people say where is your God? Don't answer them. Let your results answer. Your results are better speakers. Oh man, man manifest your power. Detail, manifest your power. You manifest your power. Can I tell you a cry to see the power of God in your life? Is a valid crime? Asks the sammis, Oh God, you are my God? Early? Will I seek you my soul lungs after you, as in a dry and a werry Land is said, to see your power and your glory as I have seen in the sanctuary. I shouldn't just see your power in church alone. I need to import that reality to my home, to my business, to my health, acts chapter four and verse thirty three, Please give it to us and with great power. The Bible says the apostles witness as forth that the three of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus and great grace was upon. How many, all not preachers, all not just businessmen. Oh, it takes great power. As chapter ten and verse thirty eight, Peter was speaking in the house of Cornelios. He said, how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth. He was the Word incarnate, but he still needed power with the Holy Ghost and with power, and he went about, don't go about with just compassion. You'll be disappointed. You need to have beyond compassion, power, ministry. Without power, you will be offended, exhausted, frustrated until you give up. I assure you it's not an insult. It's a description. Is the name given to the decline that happens until you lose strength. It says, if you turn aside in the day of Bottle. It never talked about your heart condition. It is simply because your strength is small. We need power, power in all its ramifications, supernatural power. Take it hard for me. Please let me professigh upon someone. Let your power Holy goos power rest on me, rest on me. Let's your power, Holy goost power, rest on me. Rest on me, oh, rest on me, ooh, rest on me, oh, rest on. Me, the Holy Egos power. Rest on me. Let your power foresights and wonders rest on me. Stu on me. Let your power for signs and. One rest on me. Rest on me, oh, rest on me, oh, rest on me, oh, rest on me, Holy Goo's power, rest on me. Thou shalt remember the Lord like God, for it is he that giveth the power, power, power. Carry in Jerusalem until you be endued with power. And the hand of the Lord came upon Elijah and he ran. He ran. We don't wrong just by intention of It is based on what comes upon us. That's what drives you to wrong. A lapata satar. Power from on high, power, from on high, power, from on high. Say onto God, how terrible are thou in all your ways? It is true the greatness of thy power, that thy enemies will submit themselves to you. It says our Lord God, thou hast made the heavens and the earth by thy great power. Please listen to me when you call God hell Shaddai. It is a revelation that many people do not understand. The literal translation is the multi breasted one. It's not a very accurate translation, but it's an attempt to describe the extent of sufficiency. Allelujah, the multi pressted one. That means there is no limitation to his ability to supply. Are we together now? When a woman gives bad to triplets or quadruplets, to have to be patient if she's breastfeeding them, not because she's wicked, she's limited. So when the Bible calls him el Shadai, that means within his economy, one person does not have to suffer because another person is experiencing shad die. That means God can lift everyone at the same time. One person's rising does not affect another because it is el Shadai. Are you listening now, plase I wanted to hear this. If you press to know God, his character and then you get to understand his power, just these two dimensions alone will turn your life around. Reverend Sam is able to do what he's doing today because he has encountered these dimensions. When I sat down when I was seeing the testimonies yesterday. You know, people, not everybody is faking this thing. Or listen carefully to me. There are people who really love God and don't get used to I just feel that every time you see people with miracles and all of that. No, not at all. I want you to believe this. There are people who fear God. There are people who have seen His face. Among the many things that they received is his power. Allelujah. Yes, there are preachers here listening online across the nations. Can I tell you our generation is not in ignorance of simons We have done well. We need to import authentic, genuine holy ghost power that is put on display tom founding critics, principalities and powers. I trade that in my lifetime there will be an imagence of a generation that will be demonstrators of genuine superior spiritual power very fiable by science. Allelujah. There are certain miracles in the Bible that we're called no table miracles. No table miracles that you speak over someone and programmic climate or favor over him and tell him go, and he returns wondering, rejoicing, and then you can tell science there is a dimension beyond the yd X, there is a dimension beyond mathematics. They are all an attempt to describe a realm beyond the third dimensional realm? Are we together? Now? Do you believe that will happen through you? That I may know him? This was a prayer of the Apostle, that I may know him, My Goodness, that I may know him, that I may know him. I just saw light on a gentleman, just one gentleman. This is what I saw. I'm in the spirit. We'll find a place to wrap up today. By tomorrow I will show you the other angle. I'm still seeing this light again. There is a gentleman. Help him. Please Hira sip. I'm manifest your path and he always stam till then nachance CGSUS lifted up ex so ten I received. I'm manifest your power and youowy sdom till the nationance CGSUS lifted up glory fare. Bring Lord, bring pray, Lord, bring break upon my life. Breath Lord, break prey, Lord, break bring upon my life. Listen, remember the assignment I've given you. I want you to go back and study some one oh three. Study use it tonight before you return tomorrow. Study it and destroy those negative lives that they have told you about God. Are we together? The Lord is gracious, full of compassion, rich in mercy and love. The Lord is almighty. Now you study his power, the extent of his power, the extent of his power. Then you will see how small your situation is. Then you will believe that it is not his calm. If God gives you a house tomorrow, then you will believe He is not end doesn't jealousness. It's a system of advantage, the implication of his nature that God can turn some area over night to become pula and have saber. Listen, let me tell you this. Let me tell you this. Let's be careful in a bid to teach people things like the law of process and to help people grow. Let's not downplay and insult God by doubting every possibility that God can bring that is beyond the scope of men. I don't endorse laziness and cheerlessness, but it is a joke to believe. If you don't believe God and you are afraid grow, But don't stop other people from who told you God cannot bless you overnight. Listen. He will not do that to honor your cheerlessness. But there is a system of advantage. Camp chotting is dealing with men and where the need arises. According to your understanding, he is able to bring you into that reality. The prophet said, by this time tomorrow. It is true. Listen, if some of us were to follow the normal cause of growth, who would not be one tenth where God has placed us by grace. Did you hear what I said? So I'm saying this or that as I speak over your life. It is not a life license for carelessness. It is not a license for lack of diligence. These are altogether the systems in the kingdom. But there is an advantage that the believer has. Don't waste the presence of the Holy Spirit, don't waste the supremacy of the world. Don't insult the messy and the love and the grace of God. What then, is the advantage of these things? The Bible says, wherefore are given to us exceeding create and precious promises. Listen that by them we might be the partakers in experience of His difine nature happen escaped the corruption that is in the world through lost God is not a fraud star that will allow people carelessly just prosper like that without engaging the principles of prosperity and growth, or you will be joking to believe that God does not assist men a Beniza el shade Gira come on rewarder. In fact, that she that comment to God must come believing that he is. Then that he's the rewarder of them, not all of them, not all. So don't be offended if you don't get it. He never said it's the reward of all. He said, it's the reward of them. If you don't get it, you have not subscribed to be part of the dem among the very them that received them that diligently seek him. Saving God pays. Did you hear what I said? Loving God pays pouring your all for him, except you are taking it somewhere. I tell you, when you pour your all with reckless abandonment, it is the God of the Bible. In your lifetime, he will console you. Remember you are not saving him for things. You are saving him because you love him. However, he has fould that you would not save him, and he will leave you in shame. It is true there are many believers today who are in a position that has discouraged other believers because we do not find the faithfulness of God captured in their lives. Unfortunately, you are the only Bible that many people have to read. They have to read, and you have been showing negative verses through your life. People have used your life like they canvas to paint God. And the God that your life has helped them paint is not the one that died for us. There is a kind of Jesus who are selling to the nations that they will not receive. Now are we together? If God is loved, must be demonstrated he that did not spare his son, but that he offered him freely. How much more? This is God we're talking about, And I'm not just talking about things. You want to thrive, you want to excel supernaturally. You must know the God who stands by you like a mighty terrible one. You will not be able to believe God if you are still doubting who he is. Are we together now again? In my example, if I tell you come and collect one million tomorrow, the first thing is you will verify I might that since here number one? Then do I have that amount? If you verify that I'm since here, I can't be joking with you, then you now verified. Do you think he can have one million to give me. It is those are the examinations that build your confidence. The woman said to herself. There are things, she said to herself, I know he's mighty if I may but touch the hem of his garment. Listen, I'm rapping up place I wanted to look at me. You see, with all humility, I would tell you this book you see is not a novel for me. It's not a newspaper. By the spirit of grace, I have searched, and I have found that God can be trusted. I have searched, and I have found that God can be trusted. Nigeria was not founded when this Bible, when God walked here, so Nigeria's condition. As much as we still trust God to continue bringing us to a safe heaven, you can define your realities. It is written is greater than what you are seeing. It is written is greater than what you are hearing. It is written is greater than what you are feeling. And the Bible says, let God be true and all men. Let God be true over my finances, Let God be true over my health. Let God be true. This man who is standing before you, I know what it means to rise from grass to grace. You are not hearing conningly devised fables. Our lives are epistles of the faithfulness of God. I'm encouraging someone. Before I speak to you, I want you to take the time to know God. Find Out why you are disbelieving him. Find Out why you believe someone in national Assembly, moderan God. Find Out why you believe a senate or modern God, not to insult them. Find Out why you believe a preacher modern God. It's deficiency of an encounter. When God speaks, can you believe him? When God shows you things, can you agree with him? For instance, when he tells you that this year, when men say there is a casting down for you, you shall say, is it a memory verse? Or it is a revelation coming from a God who who has integrity. The word integrity comes from the word integer, void of falsehood, same within as without Allelujah. There is nothing God tells me that I will not believe him. But it's not just mental assent. No, you can be saying I believe, whereas you are lying first to yourself and then those who hear you, I believe. It's supposed to be a resultant effect of an encounter. There is something about him. I have found. God cannot lie. Listen, the Bible does not say, does not lie. The word cannot means everything he says becomes so if God says you are great, for as long as you heard it, it has gone forth. And that word only returns when you become, only limited by your refusing it, because He gave you a will, and you will respect it if you refuse Andelujah. There are people here. The things you have seen from scripture, from your visions, they all attach to the fact that God is ready to do great things with you and your children. But you can argue it away and allow unbelief overwhelm you, and allow scientific Christianity to downplay the integrity and insult God's power, and act like the one upon whom the King leaned on and said, even if God will open the heavens, might these things be? When Gabriel came before Sakaraia and he doubted him, he said, I am Gabriel that stands before the presence of God. Will I leave such a presence with falsehood? What is an impactment on the one that sent me? Not just me? I bring you a message from the throne and you are doubting. I am gear that stands in the presence of God. If I carry falsehood wound his presence vet me. This is what you were telling Zachrier. And for that a very strange skiritture. It was not the Holy Spirit that shot his mouth from speaking, and the Carier as a priest in his office. Priests were immune by reason of your office. But for disbelieving God. His mouth was shot until the day he agreed with God in writing John, and no prayer his mouth opened. Could it be that there are certain things that have been shot, not by the devil. God is shot in it so that you don't use your mouth and your hands to damage something God is doing. The day you now agree, there are things that will open on their own, like today, you can agree with God. I believe you you have said, I've been month of God, a great one. I believe you you have said I made the borer to my generation. God. I do not even have the eloquence of speech. But one thing I know and I believe, is that God is not a man that you should lie. You have told me I will carry the sounds of worship to the ends of the earth. This is for someone. I believe you. You have said, I am esther, even though coming from Shushan, my destiny is to sit with Ahazarus. I believe you. I may not see the wind, I may not see rain, Yet my fatherly shall be feeled not because of the weather, but the one who controls the weather. Go ahead in one minute and begin to declare, Lord, I believe you. I believe you. Take this moment to cause unbelief from your life. We work fairly at it upon the strength of our encounters. But the people that do know their God in career, do know their God God signing their help. Do not your God concerning their days. Do not your God as touching victory over demons and principalities and powers. Do not your God concerning finances. Do not your God as touching ministry. The Bible says they shall be strong, and they shall do exploit someone. Go ahead and pray. You are God of love, You are God of grace, You are God of mercy, You are God of judgment. You are God of compassion, Great and mighty, powerful and awesome, powerful, indeed and awesome, all powerful. Take a minute to pray shake away unbelief from your life. A ha, don't know. Ah ah. Dude, ah ah ud. Listen to me, please hear me. When you know who God is, you will believe everything he tells you. When you know who God is, you will be able to distinguish between his voice and the voice of doubt, the voice of hear, the voice of your past, the voice of yesterday. There is, as it were, many voices, and the Apostle says, none of them is without signification. This moment, as I speak to you, say Tan is also attempting to speak to you. Twenty twenty three is still speaking to you too. Wanting to bring is jealousy into twenty twenty four, to repeat your pain again, to repeat your misery again. Yesterday is very jealous. It seeks to reproduce itself into your today. It takes you, holding the shield of faith, to refuse and say that which is gone is gone forever. The loss in my business is gone forever. The pain that I went through, the health condition that almost costs my life. This one thing I do, the Apostle said, for getting the things that are behind and reaching for the things that are before me is say I press, I press, I press towards the mark of the high calling in Christ. Allelujah, Allelujah. Before I speak over your life, remember again, please in righteousness take this as an instruction. Take tonight and once study someone h three. Don't just gloss through it carelessly. And while you are feeling sleepy, wake up like your destiny depends on it, and sit down, and as you read it, let the spirit of faith rise from within you. In this place tonight are elijahs, Rahabs, the borers Mary's. In this place tonight are one's weak gideons about to become mighty men of Velor in this place tonight are Abrahams about to become Abrahams. Listen to me, ladies and gentlemen. Your transition in the spirit that empowers you for exploit is predicated first on the knowledge of Him. Tomorrow will examine other laws. Allelujah. Let me chill. You make this a covenant sacrifice. Tomorrow I like you to come and sit down while you are praying. Don't come distracted whether the service has started or not. Spiritualize your mentality you are praying twenty twenty Foremost deliver as spoken Genesis twenty one, Verse one, The Lord visited Sarah as he has said, and he did onto Sarah as he has spoken. The Lord only visits as he has said, and he only does as he has spoken. And this I believe. Invite everybody. If there is no space, climb the roof and sit. There are we together. I don't know what time the doors will be open, but whatever time, don't stand around. Just in and then dampen your spirit. Father, this is my season in the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus, you bear witness to your sincerity and passion that as the word of God comes. Because you see, these words are not made discussions. There is grace that backs them. Tomorrow you are going to be learning. There is an increasing Please don't miss tomorrow. It says you have abounded in all that grace is abounding disgrace. Also there is a kind you do not yet have, even though you have taste. Said of others. There is disgrace also that God wants to add to your collection disgrace. Also, allelujah, let me make a notar call. I believe in salvation. Please stand everybody. Thank you for your patience. Every time we gather before the Lord, in the house of the Lord, and even in a conference like this, having so many people on site and online, it is impossible to have someone here whose heart is not ready and prepared by spirit to make a decision even onto his salvation. We are advocates of salvation. This is fundamentally the reason why He's called and anointed us. And in order of divine priority, your salvation precedes every other experience in the kingdom. All kingdom experiences only find your value when they come upon the one who is saved. Healing is most profitable when it is received and it leads to salvation. Your salvation is your business. Just help those under the annointing. Tomorrow will have the time to prayer. Time is gone. I know that there are some of you who came sick. We may just speak a word generally, but tomorrow will take the time to minister when the season, when in the days of His power there is no hiding what he can do. We will let the nations know that this is how far God can go, This is how great he is, This is how how mighty he is. It doesn't matter what they think or don't think. Allelujah, the Mighty One is proving himself through his church. Now I want to speak to all of you who have not genuinely sincerely made Jesus lord of your life. This business of salvation is everyone's business, and I want you to know that there is no showmanship here. And as much as we're on air, I want you to know that the consequences of ignoring Jesus is such that it is irreversible when this life is over. The hope of any man with Jesus is only when your breath remains. Many have made this costly mistake. Jesus came that we may have life, the Bible says, and to have it more abundantly. I want to invite two groups of people right now. Number one, those who are saying, Apostle, if you will give me a chance Hans with Jesus, I genuinely want to make it right. I have seen the futility of living without him. Number Two, there are those who are saying, this is the year I want to be sincere with myself. I do not want to delete and play games with my destiny. I want to reddicate my life to Jesus and mean business with him, to begin an intentional walk that culminates to my victory. I'm going to count one to ten. Is it alright? If I request for the people to come here. Once the front row is filled up, then you'll have to stand where you are or stand at the overflows. I'm going to count one to five. If you're coming, I expect you to be convinced already. There's no co actionial, no wasting of time. I count one to five. Leave your seat and run like there's fire on the mountain. Come and stand here one one, please count. Oh God you are my God. I will ever love you. Oh God, you are my God. Keep coming, and. I will ever follow. Oh God, you are my God, and I will ever praise you. I will see you in the morning. I have left to walk in your ways. Step by step you. Leave, and I will follow you all of my days. Step by step, you leave, and. I will follow you. Come to Jesus, you're still coming. We have a few seconds for you. And let me use your opportunity to speak to someone who is following by way of television. You're following from America, UK, Canada, across Africa, somewhere here in Nigeria. There's no distance, there's no barrier. And when it has to do with the business of your salvation, I want you to take it seriously. You're following from your office, watching from home, watching through your device. Jesus is not a shame to declare that he loves you, and he wants to give you a more superior experience than that which you have had. You have trusted people of lesser value with your life, your time, your destiny. I want you to trust Jesus with your life and make up your mind that it is me and Jesus now, and me and Jesus forever. I want to salute all of you who are in front. Let's give them a big God bless you. Thank you very much for the courage. The Bible says, as many who will come to him, he will in no wise cast away. Please let me have your attention. Please look at me. I want to salute you. If there are other people that the overflows, I equally salute you for this courage. Every time we come to Jesus, it's a declaration of our need for him is proof of humility, and he will always come. The Bible says, the Lord is not them that call upon him, even them that call upon him in truth. May I request that you lift your right hand high above your head as a sign of surrender, and say this after me as loud and as clear as you can. That includes those who are making this decision online. Say Lord Jesus, tonight I have heard your word. I believe that you are the son of God. I believe that you died for my sin. I believe that 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 sin, satan, hell, and the grave is broken over my life. From tonight till forever, I am a child of God. I go from glory to glory, grace to grace. Keep your beautiful hands lifted. Father, thank you so much for these ones. Your word declares that as many who will come to you, you will in no wise cast away. These ones have come sincerely with your heart opened and based on the authority of your word and upon your confession of faith, I declare your sins forgiving in the name of Jesus. I call you bonafide recipients of the life of God. And I decree and declare that today you are the righteousness of God in Christ. Jesus, I impart upon you the grace to live a victorious Christ in life. And I declare that you go for whatever and backward never. In Jesus's mighty name. We pray, Amen and Amen, God bless you. Now. Please, all of you in front, may I request your counselors waving their hands, I would want you to please move to my left. That will be all right. You will have a word with the counselors just for a moment, a minute, and then you'll be back to your seat. Let's aorno them as they go. Allelujah. Now I heard Reverend Sam talking about the prayer request. Is it all right if I just let my voice on that? Please? For those when we ask people to bring prayer requests, it is because it's a very valid and powerful and potent principle. Number one, it helps you coordinate your faith and your expectation. Because the Bible says in Philippians four one, verse six, it says to be anxious for nothing. Then it says in everything, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving. It says, let you your requests being made known onto God away together. So when we ask people to bring their request, it's not a ritual. No, we're praying together but number one, to prepare that you have to meditate. There are many people who don't even know what they want, and so sometimes you take the time to write, and then it is a way of involving your faith in the process. And then it is the most accurate representation of your desires. If we professy, we see impact. But when you write it by yourself. Another way. Another thing that prayer requests do, as far as that help is you can collect the requests of another, your family member, someone online, the farthest part of the earth. They can give it to you. You can print it and bring it. It doesn't have to be yours alone your own requests. You can collect that of another and then bring it tomorrow somewhere in the course of the service. Okay, I see people already with it. Can I announce that they bring this now? Okay, so if you have yours now you can do well, maybe just help us wave your hands or wave it and then places. Can you look out for those who have that, so that you bring it And I'm sure that tomorrow will have the time to be able to speak over it in the name of Jesus. So we're looking at the laws of exploits. This is Part one, by the grace of God, will look up Part two tomorrow. The Lord bless you, The Lord honor you. May your evening and your morning be blessed. Have visions and encounters that lead to your victory. May your love for Jesus grow and work stronger and stronger. You are blessed, you remain blessed in Jesus' name. Give Jesus a big hand clap,
