GREATER WORKS Part 2 with Apostle Joshua Selman 10th September,

Allelujah. Let's said, be the name of the Lord. Wave your hands to Jesus and give him all the praise, all the things to the one who died now is alife lifted exalted above the nations of the earth. Give him all the praise, give him all the things. Father, we honor you. Balahaska prana gabala Coastiati, Lord, we bless you. To Jesus, be all the praise to Jesus, Be all the honor. Are you thanking him for the divers manifestations. Of his word in the midst of his people. Go ahead and bless him. Father, we honor you. Onto the God that answers prayer. Shall all flesh come Blessed be your name. Blessed be your name. Blessed be your name. From everlasting to everlasting. You remain God, God all by yourself God in the midst of your people. Now asking for an encounter tonight, I have come to receive. I have come to rise in the spirit. I have come to accend higher realms and dimensions. I have come to be imparted with wisdom. I have come to know one learned the ways of God. Are you praying the Bible says for everyone that asked received praise. Cali capra, haskaparandos sagres. In Jesus' mighty name, we have prayed. Do us go tonight, Oh God, and we pray that Jesus will be revealed yet again, glorified yet again, exalted yet again in the midst of his people. Let your word come with power, Let it come with grace. Send someone's word to him tonight or God, in the name of Jesus Christ. And I pray that everyone who is here, all who are connecting from across the globe, that no one will return disappointed, for in Jesus' mighty and matchless name we have prayed. Give Jesus a beacond clap, and please you may be seated. God bless you. You're welcome. This is Coinonia. Allelujah. I sincerely welcome. Everyone's always a job to fellowship with God's people here on ground and across the globe. Zaria is also connecting blessings to you in the name of Jesus Christ. Asaiah chapter forty six and verse ten tells us that God declares the end from the beginning, that God has a unique ability to see the end and that he declares the end even from the beginning. And this is not only true for God, it must be true for any visionary leader. That means that in building people, you must be able to have the end picture. I was meditating on this a few days ago while preparing my notes, and it just occurred to me that many times, as leaders and as ministers of the Gospel, we keep teaching teaching, teaching, and that is profitable, but first ourselves and the people that we seek to teach do not have a picture of what they should become. Allelujah. In architecture and building, one of the reasons why the structures are build almost as exact as you see it on paper is because there is first a paper representation of the finished structure. Are we together? No one just begins to build, adding block upon block and then just hopes that as they build they will understand what they are doing. Usually you will not have a very wide structure. A strong, stable structure builds that way. So the architect, in partnership with all who are involved in construction, would sit down and using the power of knowledge, creativity, imagination. They will come up with an intelligent. Structure putting all of the factors that need to be in consideration, are we together and w from Before the corner stone is put the first block is put on ground, there is already a picture of the end and that picture is not a secret. It is known to both. The architect and the clients that they are building for away together, and the knowledge, the awareness of what the finished structure will look like, is what gives the architects the same power to meticulously follow to details and then will give the client, the patients to allow the builders do their work away together. When there is no awareness of how the finished product will look like inpatients, becomes imminent. So if you're building a twelve or twenty or thirty story, it would be unwise for any client to expect an architect to build all of that. Within a month or two months. He knows that no matter how dexteros that architects that builder is, because of the nature of the product, the structure that. They seek to produce, it will take a while. There are many things that need to be put every step of the way. Allelujah, and I thought that it was really very important for us to understand that week in week out, as we meet God is not just bringing random knowledge. There is an exact spiritual house you are becoming. Allelujah. There is a kind of believer that God seeks to make out of you, and it is important that you know that He's not just interested in you being a Christian. He's not just interested in you being a religious person, a church goer and attendant, a congregant, a member, perhaps a fan. God desires more than. That from you. His intent is that you'll be built in a specific way. There is a kind of. Believer that can advance the purposes of God. There is a kind of believer away together. Because you believer haven't received the life of God does not automatically make you usable. It takes a lot to furnish and to chisel and to make you become a believer with stature away together. And I thought to just do this, perhaps just to. Give us a picture what kind of believer is calling on your building. I think I should do that just for a few minutes, and then we get to part two of what we're teaching. It's important that you have this at the back of your. Mind to know what kind of believer. The Holy Spirit. In partnership with the teaching ministry is producing out of your life. That way you will be patient, that way you will be determined. That way your heart will remain ever open to partner with the Holy Spirit. Allelujah. Number one, I believe that God seeks to build a people who are first and foremost spiritual vibrant. Your spiritual vibrancy is God's greatest goal as far as building and making you become a believer with stature, spiritual vibrancy, men and women who are passionate lovers of Jesus and lovers of the things of God. This is the first kind of believer that God seeks to build. It's important you get this. Your spiritual growth, your spiritual progress, your spiritual. Vibrancy, in order of priority. Is God's highest goal as as building you of his concern. To become a passionate. Lover of Jesus, not just a religious fanatic, but a sincere passionate lover of Jesus and then a lover of the things of God. And that includes the House of God, that includes. The program of God. Number two. God seeks to build in this house and through this house the believer with character, very important character. What does that mean that you sustain a growing determination to be like Jesus in experience, a growing determination you are a man of character. Indeed, not just because you hold through certain positive traits and virtues. It takes more than that. This is beyond just being positive about life. There must be a growing determination in that believer that I want my life to be a reflection of the Christ. In experience, it says, my little children, of whom I travail until Christ be formed in you. So the Lord seeks to build through this ministry, through this vision, through the things that we do, a believer that is of character, that you become the closest representation of Jesus to your world. Number three, What kind of believer is God building in and through this house? Number three is building intelligent and transformed believers. Intelligent and transformed believers. By now you should have sustained and appreciation that spirituality does not take away intelligence. In Isaiah chapter eleven, when you read verse two and verse three, after listening the sevenfold operation of the Spirit of the Lord, Verse three says it shall make thee of quick understanding, Allelujah. It takes intelligence to reflect Christ. It takes intelligence to live. Out the purposes of a kingdom in experience. So God is raising intelligent and transformed believers. What does that mean? Believers who have a thhoroh understanding of the world of God, a thorough understanding of the Word of God alongside. Listen carefully before you. Write, alongside the ability. To apply the Word towards a victorious life. It's not enough to just know the Word of God. You must sustain the intelligence and the understanding to apply the Word of God towards a victorious life. There are many believers that have suppose that spiritual knowledge, so many kinds of information spiritually profitable, but they are not able to translate their knowledge of God and their knowledge of the world towards a victorious life. Knowledge is truly a waste until you are able to translate it for your profiting and the profiting of others. So when we talk about an intelligent and a transformed believer, I'm reminder of the scripture that says, let the world of Christ dwell in you richly. He says in all wisdom. It should not just be an abundance, but it must be mixed with wisdom. Allelujah. Most believers shell intelligence and transformation and they believe that being zillous for the things of God is sufficient to produce champions out of them. It doesn't happen that way. There must be intelligence and transformation that you are having access to the world of God intelligently and methodically communicated, seasoned with grace, that when you receive that word, the Bible lets us know that it is able to drive away darkness. John one five. The light shine it in the darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not. But when the world comes away together, Now you must also sustain the intelligence to apply that word such that it produces a victorious Christian out of you. Can I tell. You your Christian experience will be pungenous to many if what you claim to know about God and about the things of God does not eventually translate into a victorious version of you. So there are many believers whose propositions about God is not desired by the nations, And the reason is because they have not seen the word you claim to know and have and understand produce a wonder out of you. Are well together? Number four, what kind of believers is God raising? Please do not forget this is a very This is a very beautiful introduction. What kind of a believer are you becoming? Week in, week out? Number four, God seeks to produce responsible, purpose driven and effective believers. I repeat, he seeks to produce responsible, purpose driven and effective believers. Responsible, purpose driven and effective believers. In my humble submission, I think that this is one of the major challenges with the context of. Christianity in Africa. It does not capture this dimension where people evolved to be responsible, to be purpose driven, and to be effective will nor the way the passion for efficiency, and most people are not through kingdom. They do not have their goal and an intent. Nothing drives their life. It's a terrible and dangerous, given, destructive way to live, destructive to you and to anyone around you. Allelujah. Purpose driven, responsible and effective believers. Number five, What kind of. Believers is God raising in this house and through this house? Are you ready? Number five? Agents of societal and territorial transformation. This is very profound. God is raising agents of society, tal and territorial transformation. That means individuals who can translate their Christian experience to a context that becomes relevant to their world. Allelujah. This is where the tragedy of blind fanatism comes in and it's becoming a cancer in Africa. Unfortunately, where there is such enthusiasm, there is such on bending devotion away together to many lobsided dimensions of. The Gospel and the truth of it. In fact, most people empress dimensions that has no applicability to society. One of the greatest expressions of territorial transformation was used by Jesus himself. He calls us light and he calls us salt. Do you know that both light and salt do not benefit themselves. The relevance of light is that it couliminates the rule. The relevance of salt is that it gives taste and preserves something older than itself. I will never advocate a Christian experience that makes people small, minded, limited and without any societal relevance. It is the reason why people become. The more spiritual we are. In Africa, and respectfully speaking, even across our nation, the more we are not able to see the imprint of the God life that we claim to have. Crime still remains, all kinds of vices still remains. And yet there is. A supposed multiplication of those who claim to be obedient to the faith there is an apostolic dimension to the Christian experience that must be captured in every believer's life. That I am not just a member, I am not just a congregant. I am Light and I am salt. Are we together? Every time I have the honor of teaching the world of God. I am aware that there are several kinds of people listening to me, and many of them are listening using different vistas. Some are listening as professionals, Some are listening as military people. Some are listening as politicians. Orthers are listening as intellectuals academicians. Others are listening as lay people who have never had any kind of exposure or orientation. Orthers are listening as fellow ministers of the gospel. Orthers are listening as critics. Others are listening as you know, maybe some unbeliever non Christians who are just passionate about learning and they want to just sincerely, openheartedly listen. To what we have to say. Any wise man of God who loves God and loves the people most factor in the mindset of your audience while you teach. We are not in a pastor's conference, but this is important for us to learn that In communicating the Gospel, especially in the context of today's world, you must be able to buy into the mindset and the thinking of those who are listening to you. Are we together? This informs your presentation, This informs the approach to communicating the world that the goal and the intent of teaching is for understanding. If at the end of. Your communication people are left at a loss, they are not understanding, there is no point of application in their lives. You only wasted their time. And I can assure you that we live in a day and age where intelligent people will not submit themselves to foolishness. Are we together? Yes? Some of the people who come to church are intelligent nation builders, CEOs, students, men and women of God, people with superior orientations that have helped them to achieve all kinds of things in life. And even when they do common submit themselves to us piritchers. We must be intentional about communicating the world of God in a profitable way. Imagining, for instance, a government organization now says we're going to allow Coinonia. To be aired on national TV every time. Will Nigeria have become better because they're listening to us? Or are we just going to produce and not that group of fanatics with no purpose, no vision. You see, blind fanatism is characterized by enthusiasm and devotion with no balance and no purpose. So you find out that the extremist groups across all religions that destroy nations. Extremism is one of the major plagues in the world today, and extremism comes from fanatism without purpose, fanatism without balance away together. So whether it's from. The Christian side or non Christian side, any religion, as this may apply, you find out that most extremists that destroy people and killer men and do all kinds of things. At the back of that Mayhem is a destructive orientation that was not balanced. It may sustain some truth there, but because he was not holistically captured and presented, it will produce all kinds of error, widespread error. So in building believers, I need you to understand so you appreciate what God is doing in your life that at the end of your journey you should not be here one. Week, two weeks, one year, and. Then you are not able to defend your transformation. That would be a total waste of your time. Are we together as a believer, you should be able to articulate with intelligence and grace that from the time I submitted myself to this body of knowledge, this is what has happened to my understanding. Grace has upon me. Not just that I got a car, not just that I got a house. Those things are wonderful, are we together. But the real proof that you have met God is that you cannot be the same person again. It affects your spirits. It affects your mind, It affects the works of your hands, It affects your ideology and your perspective. You imagine there are men of God here seated, and that whilst listening to me, there are corrections that begin to happen in your spiritual understanding. You go back and begin to make adjustments in your ministry. You produce a dexterist and powerful people, not just tongue talking people, not just word confessing people, people who can be called even by government because of the level of light and salts. They have become on account of your mentorship. That is leadership, that is spirituality. True leaders do not maintain followers. They translate followers to become leaders and leaders. Into agents of change. Allelujah. So don't carry this mindset that I'm just coming to church. I'm about to write something. Now. Who knows by this writing, I may get a car. By this writing, I may get a house, and you will, indeed, But beyond that, if all I give you is prayer for a car and house, have insulted your intelligence. Allelujah. In the Kingdom. What we present is by first superior to anything mundane. The products that we communicate are not yet bound, are we together. They apply in. The earth, but. They are more superior in value and quality. The Bible, speaking about wisdom, says that the price of it cannot be compared with anything, that the price of it is greater than choice, silver, than gold and rubies. So when you are listening to the wisdom of God's world, you are receiving more than that which programs you to have. A car a house. Those things will become benefits that you will not even be aware of when they arrive, because you are focusing on a bigger course. Allelujah, Now that you know what you are becoming. Praying one minute, Lord, I submit myself to your wisdom. Even tonight are we praying? Oh Gloriosca, we Praiion, We lay your pray and pray coin on your Oh, we liveed a plod. We lay our craund and were shaba. Above all the time. We lay up, and. All glorious God stay we pressed and all glorious God. We pressed up, we lay up, and what was that? All the glorios God says we pressed. Twe alle luier, please be seated. Greater Works Part two. Let's be the name of the Lord. We've been on a teaching series and we're trusting God. The goal is to prepare us to be more effective believers, to be able to communicate the life, the wisdom, the grace, the power of God at a level that reveals Jesus in a greater dimension. And our text is John fourteen twelve. Jesus speaking, he said, verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on me, the works that I do, shall he do also? And greater works than these shall he do, because I go to my Father. May that be your experience in the name of Jesus. And we established a few things last week, just a very quick recap, and then we get to the business of today. We explain that the reason why we should believe in the Greater Work project is Number one, that Jesus said so. We believe that greater works is the heritage of every believer, first and foremost, because Jesus said so, and the Bible clearly tells us that God is not a man, that he should lie, not the son of man, that he should repent. Number two, that. The believer has been given authority through Christ, the advantage that we have by reason of the death, the burial, the resurrection, the accession, exaltation of the Christ. The implication to the believer today. Is that we have authority in and to Christ Jesus, and that authority has afforded. Us the opportunity to manifest greater works. Number three that the reason why we must believe in the greater work agenda is that we. Have access to the Spirit of God. Allelujah. Access to the Spirit of God, and the Bible lets us know in Acts chapter one and verse eight that we receive power when the Holy Goos comes upon us, and that he empowers us to be witnesses in Jerusalem, Judeas, Samaria to the outmost part of the world. Allelujah. And I did explain the concept of greater perhaps I will repeat it again that the reason why Jesus used the expression greater was not as though he was limiting himself. But I told you that reason Number one was because when Jesus walked upon the earth, all that he could do, he did it alone. Are we together that now we have the advantage of efficiency because the spirit has been poured upon all flesh. If Jesus were in one city, he was not in another city because even though he was God, he became bound by reason of wearing a mortal body. So when he says greater work, he also means more efficient work because now I don't have to be everywhere for the program of God to go, because there are other believers who have been annointed. Are we together that where I am limited, there is some believer today, Like I said last week in France, there's some in Italy, even in Nigeria. Here there are several men and women of God, several people representing the purposes of God as God has christ them. Now that makes the agenda more effective. Imagine if I were the only one man data to take the whole world. Number one, I would die young? Am I right on that number two? That program will not come to fruition. I guarantee you. So when Jesus said greater works, he meant there will not just be one Jesus. Again, there is one. Jesus, but many witnesses. You see that. Now the agenda is to reveal that one Jesus. There are not many Jesuses, just one Jesus called the Christ, the resurrected one, but there are many witnesses advocates through motives of that Christ and his purposes. This is why he called it greater. But the second reason why he called it greater was I told you that Jesus performed many phenomenal miracles. So when he speaks about greater, of course you know that he's not just talking of raising the dead and all of that. The greatest miracle that can be performed by any individual is to give life to someone who is lifeless, and that miracle has already been. Performed by Jesus. So there is no miracle anybody whould. Any miracle you perform on someone who is already alive is less sad than the miracle of resurrection, because the last and the greatest enemy to be destroyed by any man is death, and Jesus already resurrected. He resurrected three people. There were three. Instances of resurrection, as captured in the Bible. One is Lazarus, the second the son of the widow at name, and then the third the se centurion's daughter Jaronesy's daughter Allelujah. Even before Jesus arrived, the raisling of the dead was already something that was being practiced by the prophets. So when he talks about greater works, you can be sure that he does not just refer to greater miracles than me. I told you that there was one miracle Jesus could not perform, and that was the miracle of giving eternal life, because that miracle would demand death and the blood. It would demand resurrection as sansion and pouring his blood in that heavenly tabernacle. So as powerful as Jesus was as he walked upon the earth, the greatest miracle man needed, he could. Not perform it before the cross. So when he says greater works, you are now empowered to do something I could not do. Whilst I walked upon the earth, he healed the sick, he multiplied bread, he performed all kinds of phenomenal miracles. But there was no mention of him giving salvation to any He could forgive sin, but he could not translate men from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of God's their son. Everyone healed and the Bible still died. Are we together now? Everyone he gave bread still became hungry. But when Jesus rose again as the resurrected king, Now he gave us the ministry of reconciliation, and we can announce the gospel. We can propose God's idea to men that, in believing the substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus eternal life can be imputed to the spirit of man profound greater works. Allelujah. Then we said, there are forces that need to be in place. There are forces that need to be at work in the life of any believer who seeks to manifest greater works. Allelujah. Number one. We looked at the force of prayer. Last week, that the first spiritual force that must be engaged and activated in the life of any believer who seeks to represent the purposes of God in a higher dimension, to make Jesus known, to reveal him to the nations, his life, his power, and everything that Christ brought and made available to the believer. Must be a person of prayer, and I did tell you that we can use prayer as a tool and a weapon to both birth and establish the purposes of God upon the earth. Prayer has many dimensions, and prayer has many assignments. One of the major assignments of prayer, as far as this context is concerned, is as a tool to birth and then to establish the purposes of God across any territory. Revival will be far from any territory that does not have an appostolic and a prophetic community of people who know how to pray with intelligence and with understanding. I made an observation about prayer last week that I may want to repeat that for your prayer to create the kind of changes that you desire, it must be effectual, and it must be fervent. For prayer to be effectual, it must be word based, not energy based. Energy based is powerful, but energy based prayer is where fervancy comes. It must be from the depth of your heart. There must be zeal and energy, but in order of priority, if your prayer is fervent and not effectual, it will only be a waste of time. Effectual prayer is only as. It submits to the world of God. The word compliancy of your prayer. Is what makes it powerful. Are we together, so, it says, the effectual and favent prayer of the righteous? Have they let much? Have they led much? That means it has great profiting. When a righteous man who knows how to pray based on scripture, because I have taught you in this house that as mighty as God is, he limited his dealings with man to the boundary of scripture. That means God cannot deal with man outside of the provision that scripture allows. Are we together? Dealing with God outside. Of the provision of scripture will not secure his attention that he has submitted to his word even above he has submitted, he has exalted. His word, even above his name. So the force of prayer, and the last that we saw last week is the force of wisdom Mark six two. The force of. Wisdom as the second spiritual force that must be in place for any believer who desires to manifest greater works. The Bible says, on the Sabbath day, when it was come, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many hearing him were astonished, saying, from whence had this man these things, And what wisdom is this which is given to him that given such mighty works are wrought by his hand. There is a relationship between wisdom, wisdom that comes from above, and mighty works. You cannot separate mighty works from wisdom. Everywhere you see wisdom, you know that there's mighty works connected to it. I defined wisdom for us last week number one as the accurate application of knowledge. Wisdom is the accurate application of knowledge. Knowledge is only potential power. Is often said in our world that knowledge is power. I disagree. Knowledge is potential power. It is knowledge that is understood and applied with intelligence that becomes power. Allelujah. So wisdom is the accurate application of knowledge. Another definition wisdom is the ability I said last week to use the written and inspired word of God to make accurate decisions and provide solutions to life's problems. I'll take it one more time, that wisdom is the accurate application of knowledge, and then that wisdom is the supernatural ability to use both the written word scripture and the inspired word the Ramma word that comes from the Holy Spirit to make accurate decisions and then to provide solutions to life's problems. That means the fruit of wisdom is seen in the quality of decisions that are taken. All together, you know where wisdom is functioning by the superiority and the quality of decisions that the possessor takes. It is impossible to claim to have wisdom that comes from above, and then your life continues to be a representation of inferior decisions. Now, there are four. Kinds of wisdom, as revealed in James Chapter three and verse fifteen. James three fifteen leasts for. Us, in no particular order, four kinds of wisdom. Number one, it tells us there. Is earthly wisdom, wisdom that is. A product of your being alive on the earth. Are we together, Yes, human wisdom, common sense. We call it Number two. There is sensual wisdom. Another word is scientific wisdom, wisdom that is a product of experimentation. You keep building. Hypothesis until it is established as a theory. Sensual scientific wisdom, academic wisdom. The third kind of wisdom is called devilish or demonical wisdom, wisdom that is as a result of your fraternity with spirits that are not the spirit of God. It is possible that a man can possess the ability to make certain decisions, and not by the spirit of God. We see that clearly the Book of Ants, where a lady who was possessed with the spirit of divination, she was prophesigned accurately. How be it not by the spirit of God at sixteen when you read from verse sixteen that a damn cell was possessed with the spirit of divination and she brought their master's great gain using her soothsaying. So it is possible that someone by a familiar spirit is spirit that is outside of the spirit of Christ, may seem to make temporary progress. It is called devilish wisdom. Allelujah. And then finally, the Bible tells us there is wisdom that comes from above. There is wisdom that comes from above, supernatural wisdom. That comes by the spirits of the Living God. This is the kind of wisdom and the dimension of wisdom that if and when possessed and accessed by the believer, evidently your life will produce greater words. May that be your testimony in the name of Jesus Christ. Do not forget that I said you see the excellency of wisdom by the quality of decisions that you make. We do not decide consequences. Unfortunately, consequences are connected by defaults to decisions, so you don't choose consequences. You make choices and decisions, and with those choices and decisions that corresponding consequences connected to them become your lot automatically. That means that when you look around your life and you find out your life is played with failure, defeat, pain, regrets, pressure that is needed and required by all men for destiny actualization. And then even for greater works. Jesus in Look chapter two hun verse fifty two, the Bible says. He increased, He grew in wisdom, in wisdom. Jesus himself increased in wisdom, then in stature, then in favor with God and with man. Have you seen the protocol there that even before he opened up for favor he access wisdom because everything favor brings, wisdom preserves. If the only thing you pursue is favor, you will keep having things that you will lose because wisdom is a preserver. So but two will be a continuation of wisdom, and then will take it. There's a lot tonight. Receive grace to hear and understanding Jesus name wisdom. What are the benefits of wisdom. I think I should just stake that most believers do not appreciate the benefits of wisdom in the life of an individual who presses. To have it at work in his life. Number one, wisdom strengthens and secures. It is yes, he's seven nineteen It is yes he's seven and verse nineteen. The Bible says, wisdom strengthened the wise more than ten mighty men, which I'm in the city powerful, that wisdom can secure you more than ten mighty men which are in the city. In fact, one of the versions I think amplify or thereabout, who say wisdom secures more than ten mighty rulers. So he's not just talking about ordinary men. He's talking about. Rulers and really and generals. Can you imagine that wisdom is greater and ten mighty. Who los with your experience? Put together? Wisdom that comes from above truly secures. Number two Ecclesias is seven and verse twelve. Wisdom protects and wisdom preserves, it says, for wisdom is a defense. Watch this, and money too is the defense. But the excellency of knowledge is that wisdom gives life to those who have it. Give us amplified. Let's say the justice that amplified do for that. It says, wisdom is a defense even as money is a defense. But the excellency of knowledge is that wisdom shields and it preserves the life of him who has it. He's telling you the difference that wisdom can bring defense even as money can bring defense. But the difference is that money cannot preserve the life of the person. Who possesses it. If money could preserve the life, the rich fool would not die because he had a lot of money but no wisdom. And the first proof of wisdom is that you acknowledge that there is a God in heaven. Because only a fool who say in his heart that there is no God? Are we together? Wisdom preserves number three. It is yes, since ten ten. Wisdom brings efficiency. Popular scripture, wisdom brings efficiency to your life. If the iron be blonde, and he do not wet the edge, sharpen the edge, now then must he put more strength. But wisdom is profitable in that it has the ability to direct you towards an efficient life. I can tell you sincerely speaking. An uncomfortable truth. But a hard life is directly traceable to the absence of wisdom. Hardship has an explanation. Wisdom brings efficiency. Wisdom brings efficiency. Wisdom brings efficiency. Allelujah. Let's go to the third foce are you ready? First? Number three that is responsible for the manifestation of greater works in the Sains and is much needed, especially because of the days that we're now living, is called the force of faith. Please write the force of faith, the force of faith. There is no believer who seeks to manifest greater works as desired by Jesus Christ who will ignore walking by faith and walking in faith. The Bible has a lot to say about faith. Number one Hebrews eleven and verse one, it says, now faith is I like Paul. Now faith is the substances says of things hoped for. He calls it the evidence of things not seen. The substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. Verse two, it says, for by it this force called faith, elders obtained a good report. And when you read. All the remaining renditions. Down to the end of that verse, those were the good reports that were obtained by faith. In fact, if we go to taty three thirty three begins to give us a very intelligent representation of these reports. Through faith, these subdued kingdoms wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stop the amount of lions. Thirty four it says, quench the violence of fire and escapes the edge of the sword. Out of weakness were made strong. What's valiant in fight turned to flight. The armies of the aliens look at this, women receive you are dead to life, And it says others go. They were tortured and have. The opportunity to accept deliverance by faith, they refused. They refuse deliverance because they wanted to obtain a better resurrection. Thirty six It says others who had trial of quell, mock clings, and all of these things. The Bible says, all of these things, they were called elders, and they obtain good report by faith. Let me give you two reasons why we need faith. In our work with God. Number one, The first reason why every believer needs to understand the subject of faith and then to work and live by faith is because there are realities beyond the scope of our sight, beyond. The scope of science. Please write, there are realities beyond the scope of sight and beyond the scope of science Collosians one, sixteen to eighteen. There are realities beyond the scope of sight that means what your optical eyes can see, and then beyond the scope of science. The human nature is trained scientifically and trained environmentally. Allelujah. These are the. Two principle ways by which we are trained to understand and to deal with our environment. There is environmental conditioning and then scientifically. From the time you begin to go to. School, formally or informally, you begin to learn how to use the techniques of science to relate with your world. But the truth is that there are realities beyond the scope of sight. There are realities beyond the scope of science. Even science agrees that the human eye, which has twenty twenty vision, cannot see everything. Are we together? It is very possible. I don't know if it has happened to you, that a very small insect will bite you. You feel the pain. The pain is real, but you cannot you almost cannot find the inside biting you. Yet it is there, and it is not like it's demonishing. It's just too small for your eyes to see. You usually use the direction of the pain to investigate that most likely it is there. There are many, many things that the eye of man cannot see. There is a limit to which. The vision of man twenty twenty. We are told, are we together? You may need to take advantage of a telescope to see beyond certain ranges. So there are realities beyond the scope of sight and beyond the scope of science Collosians one sixteen. Please it says for. By him where all things created that are in heaven follow carefully, and that are in the earth visible and invisible. So there are things visible and there. Are things in visible. Please note that invisible does not mean unreal. Our concept of reality is anything the frame of our eyes, our ears, our hands. And all of that our senses can relate with. But there are realities beyond the scope of sight, and there are realities beyond the scope of science. The Bible says visible and invisible things. For instance, the realm. Of the spirit is a real realm that, when all is said and done, it is that rem that most people are going to live in. So we are given an advantage of duality of realms. You have a spirit or you are spirit, and then you live in a mortal body. And that mortal body gives you access to the earth all together. But you are not a body. Your body, as you have been taught. It's just an instrument of execution. When people die, we call it death, but the realm of the spirit never CAUs it death, because our the idea of death is to cease to leave. But that is only correct from our realm, from the realm of the spirit. When you say someone has died, they look at you with shock and wonder, because there is no such thing a cessation of living. We see that in Scripture. Are we together the rich man and Lazarus seeing one The rich man is there enjoying his prosperity and finances. Lazarus is there suffering, And then sing two Both of them die, and we see that they were both alive in another dimension, one in Abraham's bosom, the other one was perishing in hell. And he was crying. He had intelligence, his intelligence was still with him. Deep what time your finger, and please quench my thirst? And that was not possible, And he said, all right, please, can you allow the man to come back to the earth and preach to my brethren that there is something I need to change about my life. And my ways. And he said, no, they have Moses and they have the loss. Let them listen to them. There was intelligent communication. When Jesus stopped breathing in the earth. As we know, he did not cease to live. He went to Hay. This is the place of the dead set and being a spirit is alive. Jesus being a spirit alive the departed sains that he preached to, according to the Gospel of Peter, Peter taught us. And it's a peaceful that he preached to the departed saints. They believed, and he led them together. It was a triumphant entry, a we together. When he resurrected from the dead, the Bible says, graves of. The saints that were. Once departed were opened, and the people came out and walked all through the streets of Jerusalem. This may be a word of comfort for someone. The moment you see your loved one closed his eye or a eye never to open it again. Find comfort. It was just the body that stopped his assignment here. But life is real, more real. It is difficult for also comprehend this because you were not given the privilege of consciousness before your arrival here. Consciousness began for you when you want this mortal body. So it's difficult for you to relate with the reality of that realm, except and un lets God give you the privilege of visionary experiences. Supernatural and visionary experiences can. Train your spirits to at least a bit. To understand how the realm of the spirit walks. Are you understanding this so far? Yes, we need to work by faith because there. Are realities beyond us. Would you believe if I told you that there were angels all around this place? You don't have to wait until someone is shouting and say, oh, truly their angels. No, the Bible says so, you see, because the faith is based on what God said. The very foundation of faith is built upon the person and the speakings of God. Let me repeat myself that the very foundation of Bible faith is is viewed upon the person of God and the speakings of God. What regulates the entire faith economy in the spirit is what God has said. If you extract what God. Has said, there is no possibility for manifesting Bible faith. Again, because Bible faith must have a business, and that basis is the world of God. John one one in the beginning. Was the world, and the Word was with God, and the world was God's. Two, it says, the same was in the beginning with God. There's three. It says all things I like this were made by Him the world, and outside of. His influence and participation was not anything made that was made. The second reason why we need faith and we need to work by faith as one of the forces for commanding greater works is that faith commits God in. The affairs of men. Faith commits God in the affairs of men. This is profound. Faith commits God in the affairs of men. John eleven forty. That it has to do with. Your conviction, Jesus said, unto her, said, I'm not unto you that if thou wouldst believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God. You're working in faith, and you're working by faith has an implication in that it commits God in the affairs of your life. And as you know from scripture that the moment God gets committed Look one thirty seven to the affairs of men, impossibility vanishes. It says, for with God. Nothing shall be impossible. Faith has a unique ability to commit God in the affairs of our lives. You want to do greater works. It wants be by faith and have told you hear that. Faith. Number one represents your confidence in God, who God is, and the integrity of his person, Your conviction, your persuasion, your confidence. Number two, Faith is. The action that you take as proof that you believe God. The action that you take as proof that you believe God in order to commit him as touching the affairs of your life. So when it has to do with Bible faith, two things that are involved. Number one, your conviction, your depth ofp persuasion about who God is and the integrity of his person. Number two, you. Must take action actions of obedience. Johnah took action, but his action was in disobedience. So it's not just blind action. You must add according as God has directed. If it be thou bid me come, and he said come, if the guy sat back, that will be action, but not action of faith most people, but acting disobedience. If God says go left and you go right, you're not working by faith. Albeit you are acting, but not by faith. Are we together? Are you saying that the entire economy of faith depends. On who God is and what he has said? So the foundation for Bible faith, as you have been taught, is to find out what God has said? What has He said? I refer you to my message exceeding great and precious promises, a compendium, a capture of everything God has said that provides an advantage to the believer in Christ. Efficients one and the three. The Bible says that God had given us, had blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. Please hear me. If you do not learn to walk by faith, you will be limited. You will be crying and blaming God, whereas supernatural blessings are on your way coming to you, just because you cannot see it. I gave an example last week. I hope you still remember about someone who would leave Legos. Was it last week? Yes, that if someone took a flight from. Legos and you were waiting for the person at the airport coming to Abuja, did you know that a fifteen minutes flight, and for about forty six to forty seven minutes of that flight from the time it lives, you are not going to see the plane. Yet you are aware and you believe, you are convinced that the person did not die in the sky is on his way coming and you are just standing away together. Occasionally they might be delayed, maybe some minutes, but then you see. The plane and then it arrives. When you are going home from coin Onia, did you know that for over ninety eight per cent of the journey you do not see your house, and yet. You believe it is there. What makes you believe that the house has not disappeared? Now while you are here, you believe that the food you left in your kitchen is still there waiting for you. Am I right on? That this is not word of knowledge? This is experienced, Allelujah? Where else should the food be? Are we together by faith? So when God says Deuteronomy twenty eight one and two that it shall come to passive doubt, shall diligently happen to the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command you this day, that the Lord that God will set thee on How above the nations of the earth? Above? How many nations? Cononia? Please answer me above? How many nations do you believe that are both all the nations? And you see, while he's saying that, you are looking at the fact that you do not have a job. While he's saying that, you are looking at. The fact that you do not have you know, maybe some kind of qualification, And yet he does not change what he's saying because of your condition powerful At any given point in your life, there are at least two reports that stare you and your destiny at the face. It is up to you to choose whose report you would believe. This is the character of faith. There are men sitting down here were so blessed by the testimony of the dear lady feeling pains and having pains. And I like the fact that she took responsibility to at least go to the hospital, but that did not stop her from releasing her faith. Bible faith produces Bible. Faith produces Bible faith produces ladies and gentlemen. What you call cooinonia. Today, by the grace of God, is a product of faith. There are no gud in life. Nobody gives you any guarantee anywhere. We live in a world that is obsessed with guarantees. Unfortunately it does not exist. Calling your uncle your guarantee is a risk. In fact, calling yourself your guarantee is a risk. Calling the habilist in your village. A guarantee is a risk, because when men sleep, only God wakes men. There is something that is common to all men. The moment days sleep. The habilist most received grace to wake up to continue what is doing. I lay me down and I slept. The samon said, I wait for the Lord. Waiting people is exclusive, is. Exclusively the prerogreative, and the office of God, not devil anywhere. I can tell you that. So when people anssive, they have your destiny their hand. Tell they make sure you don't sleep. Yes, sir, yes, sir, by tomorrow if you are still here, told you are not done. Ay, be careful, Be careful, because the sun is going down. Be careful. Very arrogant world that forgets that there is a God that rules over the affairs of men. Have you forgotten the Bocadnezza a man who believed that he had everything, the entire globe in his hand, and he could manipulate the destinies of men. And he said, make. The fiery furnace seven times hotter. And they through those young boys there, on account of your trust and your belief in Jesus, they said, we're not taught to dishonor authority. But as touching this one, we're not careful to tell you our God will deliver us. But even if he does not deliver us, we count him faithful. They saw the Fourth Man in the fire, allelujah. Now I don't know if they themselves saw the Fourth Man, because the Bible does not seem to record that they themselves saw the Fourth Man. We know that the man who saw the. Fourth Man was the King himself and the other people. All we know is that they believed that the fire had no power over them. The faith was on their own part because they were not They didn't have to see the Fourth Man to enter the fire, and most likely while they were in the fire, they probably did not see the fire. You see when you are walking by faith. Usually it is those who are the onlookers who will be seeing the marvelous things that God is doing. You just know you are obeying God. You are in that fire, and you are walking that fire out. You're in that den of lions, and yet it has no power waiting. Who will not enter the fire when you see the Fourth Man already waiting. It is easy to give when you haven't a lot of ten million in your account. Then you smuggle out one thousand and say, God, you see what I gave you? Is that really faith? That is charity? Are we together? It's a true faith. Abel offered, how about Abraham, I will make you a father of many nations? No evidence, no Isaac, And. The Bible tells us as in the order of men and women he had become very old, and Sarah even when she had gone past, as in the manner of women, the Bible says, And yet they counted God faithful. You find that in Romance chapter four that he wavered, not I like Abraham, he wavered, not Romans four and verse twenty. Thank you that he counted God's faithful. Are we together? He concede that not the deadness of sin, and as womb He's ta God, not at the promise of God to unbelieve, but was strong in faith. In fact, back down, go to eighteen eighteen. He says, who agains hope? Did you see that the foundation of faith is that there is hopelessness already hopelessness agains hope believed in hope. That he might become the father. Imagine if you saw Abraham ninety years Abraham how are you? And he says, I'm still. Holding on to God's word. And you say, Abraham, you are still at this madness called Christianity. I know he spoke to me. It's not a lie. And he himself will go to God and say, God, why are you doing this to me, saying that I got childless? Okay, here is Eliaza in my house. You somebody in my house who respects me to have children for me? And God says, no, it will come from you. I will hold on to the story, and I will hold on to your My life will soon revive. You're the lifter of men, the litter of men. Yes, I will hold on through the storm. I will hold on through. My life will soon reveal you're the litter of men, litter Phnia yem. It does not just pay to save Jesus, It pays to believe in. I don't know what he's told you. I don't know what he's told your family. I don't know what he said concerning your health, concerning your ministry. She saw the prevalance circumstances when he said. It, and it does not plan to change what he has said. It's up to you to believe his report. Hear me. At every point in your Christian experience, you will be met by at least two conflicting reports, the reports of men, the reports of ill health, the report of society, the report of the present day economy globally speaking, or whose report God's report? The integrity of God has captured in scripture. You're a man of God. Here where will the bills come from? Your parents? School feesh has been increased multiple folds, rent increased multiple fold, the amount to buy your house, to do whatever it is. Perhaps you are here struggling. With all kinds of things and your faith is really shaking. Can I tell you I know God who is mercive, full and. Faithful, langrangious. You know that sung. Empty uncle loves I like a spot. It's no pat with me. So I was watching it for time to do. Things that you hear me. The message for you here is hold on. God is still as faithful as you've known him to be. Don't allow negative situations. So this is how my life will be. I thought by now a job would have come. I want you to still hold on in the name of Jesus. The devil is a liar. I taught by now the health. I prayed, I submitted my prayer request, and I taught by Now I'll be free. I want you to count him faithful, count him faithful. You're not the first to go through what you're going through. He's called faithful and true. Please sit down. You want to command greater works man of God waiting for a destiny helper to bring all the money for you. Before you begin to pray and plan to have the building, you will never build anything in your whole life. Start writing the budget with zero and iran start sanact of faith. Are way together. Be careful about this over this scientific approach to Christianity. Now, science is important. I just acknowledged science. But over dependence on intellect can rob you of an opportunity to work by faith. Can I tell you, no matter what you are getting from God, no matter. How cheap it is, if it is God that will be the. Giver, faith must be required. Faith. God will route you through a part that will demand that you believe in So, he says, follow them go through faith and patience have obtained the promise, he says. And Abraham, after he had patiently endured, he. Obtained the promise. If someone learning, we must obtain grace to walk by faith. Anything God tells me, I believe him. I don't wait until I see any evidence. I believe him. Cooinonia, I say, great nation. I believe him. You are going to raise mighty men after the order of Genesis seventeen and verse six. This is what God told me, and I. Believe with all my heart Genesis seventeen six. I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of THEE, and kings shall come out of THEE. This is what God told me. He didn't say yesterday, he didn't say it last year, he didn't say ten years ago. Waiting until you see the evidence, you will only waste your time and not work by faith. There to believe God. There, to obey God. There to act in keeping with what He has told you, and watch the God of wonder, the God of Wonder arise for you. Every testimony you see shared here is the end point of the journey of faith. The end point of the journey of faith. Usually, when you start, you start with nothing except what God has said. The raw material for your destiny, essentially is the word of God. If he has said it is sufficient to start the journey. The same word that caused you to begin the journey will keep the things you need somewhere in your path. If you never take the step, you will not meet what you need in the journey. What you need for the journey will not be given at the point you start. Ahh. The only thing that will be given at the point of the journey is the Holy Spirit and the world that is sufficient for the journey. And you start one step after the other, falling down? What's standing on? Getting up? Oh? God, what is this? I don't understand you. You promise me that you're going to take care of me. You ask me to come down to Abuja. Now I mean Abuja. It has been six months. I don't even know where my next meal will come from. You hear a word from the spirit while you are praying, Turn your pain, Turn everything you're going through to praise. I am giving you a testimony that will bless people tomorrow. And in the midst of your tears. You may not know what to do, and you are taking the time to pray and say Lord, I still count you faithful. I thought by now a job will come. I taught by now the help us would have arrived, But I say thank you. Can I tell you when you thank God in the midst of storms, you really have faith. When you thank God in the midst of your result, that is praise. Report. But when you are thanking God when you have not seen. Anything, allelujah, learn to thank him. We live in a world that prides him, complaining God, you have not done this. You gave me tea, no bread. How am I supposed to take it? And God says you Just keep thanking me and taking the. Tea with gratitude and bread will arrive. The force of faith. Let's hurry up. Number four? Are you ready for the fourth force? Is God helping someone? Here? Am I speaking to people who will begin to manifest greater works by the spirit. In the name of Jesus, the Son of the Living God. Are you ready for? Forth? Number four? The Force of wealth and abundance? Please write? The fourth force that is responsible for commanding greater works is the force of wealth and abundance. Zachariah one seventeen. The Force of wealth and abundance, cry yet saying first saying the Lord of hosts my cities, true prosperity shall be spread abroad, And the Lord shall yet comfort Zion and shall choose Jerusalem Scripture number two, Deuteronomy eight eighteen. But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God here what the Bible says. For it is he not it is it? It is he that given the power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant, which he swear onto thy fathers, as it is this day. Can I tell you well, from time immmorial has always played a major role in shaping civilization, promoting evil or promoting righteousness. Let me repeat myself again that wealth and abundance from time immemorial has played a unique role of promoting shaping civilizations. Promoting evil or promoting good. When you see evil in a. Society and a territory behind the ever increasing decadence of any society. Is wealth plain a role, a wrong role. When you see. Advancement and civilization of any thought in any society behind it, there is wealth playing this role. When you see the purposes of God being advanced from place to place behind it, there is wealth playing this role. Either ways, whether you want to promote evil or promote good, wealth is a tool that must be present and evident. I have learned from scripture, and I can tell you sincerely by experience, that the absence of financial resources will creeple your life, will creeple your destiny, will creeple the program of God. Let me show you a. Scripture that might interrest you. Matchw twenty eight from verse one, at the end of the Sabbath, Watch this as it began to dawn towards the first day of the week. This is the resurrection morning. Mary Magdalene and Mayor and the other Mary came to see the sepulcher verse two. And behold, the Bible says, there was a great earthquake, for the Angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone from the door and sat on it. Three He says. His countenance was like lighting, and his raiment was white as snow. He says, And for fear of him, watch this now. The keepers the gods that were put around the grave, the Bible says, they did shake, and they became as dead man. Five, he says, and the Angel answered and said on to the women, shear not for I know that, he said, Jesus, which was crucified, huh, he is not here. For his reason, hallelujah, As he said he says, come see the place where the Lord lay. Seven, and go quickly. The Angel is giving them an instruction by God. Tell his disciples. So the Angel he said, listen, don't keep quiet about the fact that he's reason. Announce it that he's risen from the dead. And behold, he go forth before you into Galilee, and ye shall see him as. I have told you verse eight. And they gathered. They departed quickly from the sepulcher with fear and great joy, and did run to bring his disciples. Word nine. And as they went to tell his disciples, watch this, the Bible says, behold, Jesus met them, and he said, all hale, And they came and held him by the feet and worshiped him. Ten. And then said Jesus onto them, be not afraid. Jesus is now mandating them, go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there they shall meet me. Eleven reading to fifteen. He says, now, when they were going, behold watch this. Some of the watch. Came into the city and showed onto the chief priests all the things that were done. That means those who were at the sepulcher right the gods. They came and told the chief prints listen, we witnessed something spectacular. We saw an angel came. Was not a vision. He rolled away to the storm with great power. And the Bible says when verse twelve, and when they were assembled with the elders, when the chief priest had this, they said, Wow, they knew the truth. They knew the gods who were not lying. But the Bible says they assembled themselves together, look carefully, and had to take counsel. And they gave want large money onto the soldiers. They called the soldiers and said, come this resurrection. If the whole city knows it, there will be obedient to the faith. This is literally going to. Bring an end to a civilization and start another. But we are going to do something. Take large amount of money, and with that money, here is the instruction. Thirteen. Say this that his disciples came by night. You see how powerful money is. Saying disciples came by night and told him away while we slept. Fourteen. And if this come to the governor's yes, don't worry, because it to get to the governor. Don't be afraid that you'll say you were sleeping. Will have a way of covering you. He says, we will passuade him and say you're you. So they took the money, what did they do with the money. They took the money because they had wives and children, they had deals to pay, and instead of the ten ten nightras salary, now a large amount of money just to lie, who is the Jesus relative to my children's hoofes? Who is that Jesus relative to my wife's trouble that I'm looking for ten thousand mira? Now you bring me twenty million, just to make a little lie and say he did not resurrect with skid give me? Are you seeing Number one? If those guys were bad people, they were not even to report it. They came because the thing troubled them. He was From a standpoint of conviction, conviction is that the mercy of prosperity to be stabilized, to be guaranteed. Your conviction will shake like a leave if you are not empowered. One moment they come and you're saying the truth, and they say, come, come, come, come, come. We have to announce that he's not risen. Let's finish that scripture and it says saying to the disciples that they came and stold him fourteen. Now it says, and if this come to. The governor's years, we will persuade him and secure you read verse fifteen, place ready one to read. So they took the money and did as they were taught. And this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day, longevity of life promoted by money. That there are people who went to hell today. Now there are people why in hell because a group of people paid to make sure they don't get life. Do you know Satan is still paying people today to say Jesus is not reason. There are many people, many of our children, across the globe today learning all kinds of things sponsored by the abundance of financial resources. I will repeat it one more time for your hearing, Choirnonia, that the name. Of Jesus is very heavy. It takes financial resources to lift it high so that the nations will see. Out of all the strategies to stop the manifestation of the name of Jesus, Satan decided to choose the issue of finance. Please do not downplay it. I was teaching the workers and also a school of ministry. Students that when you remain in object. Poverty three things must happen to you. You must steal, two, you must tell lies. Three you must borrow one of these three things. Usually all three will eventually happen to you. If you are poor, it has nothing to do with whether you are good or bad. It is the consequence of not being empowered economically. For instance, if you don't have the money to pay your rent. Even if you're a sincere prayer warrior, chances are excellent that when your wife and your children are about to be kicked out of the house, you will know when you will beg your wife to. Say, please tell them I traveled. I will tell God sorry later on board for now. And you will feel bad, and yet you will repeat it again. The bondage that poverty puts men. It would take God to open your eyes to seed. I have told you that every time we advocate wealth and abundance is from a pro kingdom standpoint. Don't approach it from a canal mundane standpoint, just fueling lost. This is not what we're teaching. But I can tell you that among. The many tools that must be present in your life, first to live a life of dignity, then to advance. The purposes of God. And then to fulfill Genesis twelve three that in this shall all the families of the earth be blessed. You will not be able to do greater works if you lack resources. That is the truth, the force of wealth and abundance. I used to watch the Great Crusades of reinhard Bonke, the great Crusades of Billy. Graham, and they would pat stadiums. And I know that usually when we watch those crusades, the central point is just Billy Graham coming. But you need to have an understanding of the budgets. Are we together now by the privilege of God's grace and by reason of what I do. I can't tell you that it takes serious amount of money to do anything meaningful for the kingdom. Souls are expensive. It takes resources to bring them to the cross. The gospel is free, they say, but the means to take it to the loss is not free. Allelujah prays. The name of the Lord takes a lot. There are many people today who have relivant teaching messages that can shape the body of Christ, can help us come into a greater level of stature and understanding, But they cannot publish those works because they are incapacitated financially. Am I right on that? There are many parents today who have been given the responsibility of raising the next apostles and prophets, and they know by the spirit that God already told them that your child is going to be a mighty tool before I return. But to take that child to a good missionary school, a responsible school where he can be prepared for destiny. They want to do so, but they do not have the resources to. Make it happen. It is terrible to know what to do and still limited because of finances. I'm praying for you in the name of Jesus, the Son of the Living God, that which limits men, incapacitates men financially and makes your life a representation of mockery and shame. May it live your life from tonight. Allelujah, Please be seated. I've done several teachings on finance. I wanted to lay hold of them and listen. One of them you may want to pay attention to is the series. The Power to Get Wealth. I wanted to settle down. I'm not teaching on finance. I'm just introducing it as one of the irretutable forces that is responsible for greater works. Can I tell you, when money enters the hand of a man whose heart loves God and who has wisdom and vision, you will watch the wonder of Kingdom advance through that person. Let me repeat myself. When money financial resources enter the hands of a man and whose heart is passionately in love with God and who has wisdom and vision, you will watch how far he will take the program of God. There are many visionary people today. Great people, but are limited, limited financially, limited financially this vision is excelling today by the privilege of God's grace, because there is a mandate from God. There are faithful and wonderful workers. But I tell you sincerely, I'm speaking to the whole world, and you know this is true. What you see is also writing on the wings of huge financial resources. Without financial resources, there are many many things that will not come to us. Alle Lujah. It takes money to raise your children properly. It takes money to make a choice of a good school that you can be sure of what. They are learning, especially in this wicked world today. Are we together? Education has become so expensive globally speaking, and that includes our nation. And I'm telling you I don't mean to make you feel bad, but have you sampled children and see the difference in their understanding as a result of a good school and a bad school. I agree. I'm always around children, and sometimes my heart breaks because you will see a child of four or five six years old who has had the privilege of being mentored by parents that God does help financially and they've provided that leverage. And then you see all that children with their heart that is sincere. You know there is destinying these children, but you see that because probably their parents or their guidance were incapacitated financially. The difference in intelligence, the difference in a commen the difference in understanding is clear, and these poor children will grow with low self esteem. That's why they start joining cult by age thirteen. Since they're intellectually weak, they will want to join a cult or a group where the person can now become a caple If I don't have on the funding, at least let me have the ability to kill. Do you know that? Consult with any military personality and they will tell you most of the terrorists that inflict mayhem in this nation and across the nations, most of them are from teenagers into their mid twenties. How many old people have the strength to do all these kind of things. It takes strength to serve even the devil, And. The devil will not make do with people who are too weak and cannot be effective. And so he goes. He literally looks for a demography and age range and captures them. But in the name of Jesus, we are here on a mission to redeem all that the devil has plocked. That the devil has. Shamed, families, shame bread winners, share destiny, help us. Using the tool of poverty. He has programmed it to even be transgenerational, so that all the discipline, godly serious young men in certain families, they never get to rise until you fraternize with him and meeting have alista, and you find out irresponsible people now begin to rise, and praying for you, every chain of poverty that has held your life, held your children, in the name of He who died and rose again, may be broken now and forever. Allelujah. With prosperity. When prosperity mixes with wisdom and vision, it does much for the kingdom. When prosperity meets with a canal heart, a cheerless mind. If dishonless destiny an irresponsible personality, it becomes a detriment to kingdom. Come treatment to kingdom advance. There is no fear as to opening your heart to receive prosperity when you know your heart is right with God. Are we together now? Because it becomes an advantage. I look forward to times where God will raise certain strategic kingdom financiers. That there will be a group of men who will set up a company with the principle reason to fund the kingdom because they are so blessed they don't need anything as far as their personal gains are concerned. That they literally build companies and corporations. And many will come out of this vision in the name of Jesus Christ. Literally that they will sit down in board. Meetings and they're not just talking about sharing profits. They're saying, Okay, there is a crusade. About to happen there. How much ten million narra, let it go there. I hear that there is some missionaries. They need to translate Bibles to houser and translate to French. Ten million arrah, let this one go for the kingdom. I hear that there is some missionary that has been kidnapped somewhere, and I hear that his wife and children are grounded. No food, Please send a million Narrah. Imagine living a life like that, and Heaven is watching you and saying, who is this ambassador representing my purposes? This much? This is the assignment of money. I have a jeep, I have a car, I have houses. Thank God for those things. But you are people who have been trained to love God more than that. Allelujah. Imagine one of you here that God gives you a vision to raise one hundred children from primary school to university because you want them to love the Lord. You handpick them and God tells you this, lady, you are seeing, this is Esther forming, This is Elijah farming, This is Daniel farming. Give them a chance. It's not your fault that your parents died. It's not your fault that your parents are idult worship as the parents who say, well, my child will worship the devil. But if you can pay for his hoof, is carry him as a liability. And he said, no problem, bring him to me. Tell me who. Ignore you when you go to a community and build fifty boholes in the name of Jesus. Fifty represented one hundred warholes. And said, this community do read the history of the Church in. Nigeria and revivers in Nigeria. Those who came with the gospel also came with benefits that improved the lives of people. And because of that, the communities were at the messy of the permission that their kings will give them. And because of the. Benevolence the kings who usually have a meeting and say this day, I stand as a king over this community, and I declare that as a community who will serve the Lord, and every other person follows suit. When kings receive Jesus, their communities received Jesus. Do you believe what I'm saying? Listen, ladies and gentlemen. Among the many things you must open your heart to receive in this kingdom in this season is the prosperity package that God is dispensing to people who have vision who love him. God are the days where people become an embarrassment to the kingdom because they are God prospers them. They go ahead, they just they change. They're not serious, no prayer, pride or kinds of indiscipline. God is using certain people to mentor a generation to show them what to do with money. Money is not about pride and bragging and making noise and saying I am a millionnaire. I am a millionnaire. Listen. If you love Jesus Christ and you love. His program and his purpose is, being arrogant on account of finance is a total waste. It is not the way the kingdom works. The King's business is bigger than just trying to show you have arrived. People are not stupid. If you are blessed, they know you are blessed. Am I right from that? If you are here and you are trusting God, or you believe you are a kingdom financier, can I tell you if all you are doing is making noise and telling lies I have money God, it will not trust you. Because wealth in the Kingdom is not an achievement, is a trust. Let me repeat myself for your hearing. Well in the kingdom is not an achievement. It is a trust. He gave on to one five talent, he gave on to one two. It will look like you work for it, But that wisdom came from God, that favor came from God. You can use wisdom to open a big. Mall, but it takes God to bring customers to you. Corinonia, don't be afraid of being prosperos. Did you hear what I'm saying? Let me repeat myself. Do not be afraid of being prosperous. Your fear of money will cousse more harm to the program of God and good. The fear of money does not make you more spiritual. It is canality, a heart that does not love God, a hat that wants to When Satan comes to your life, it's not only your money you use. You will use your whole life. He will manipulate everything God gave you for your destruction. But I can tell you if people paid what brought Samson down. I know you say it's Delilah, but it's not really Delilah. It was money. The Philistians called Delilah and said, listen, there is a man who has become a jodge o b Israel. This man has mysterious strength, mysterious strength that one man can use the job bone of it. Don't you and. Kill three thousands Philistines? What one will stand before that man? We want you to please. We will give you money. Can you help us to find out the source of his strength and if possible, destroy that man for us, there is a gentleman. What a lie on could not do, what a beer could not do, what an army could not do. You would think a woman did it. It's not a woman that did it. Money is what did it. If they had met her and said, can you give participants in her agenda go and kill something, she probably would have insulted them and walked out of that place. But when they brought money, she said, all right, let's say down, let's talk. What do you want. You want to bring down something. It's difficult to how much are you going to give me? Because something is not just this somebody that told the lion that means I can die in the process. This mission is a risky mission. If he killed the lion, I mean use a business sense, she would never go share it as a business woman. You think she would just receive peanuts for the risk of killing something. You know what it takes to kill something. Find out how many times she tried and feel Samson, the phillip stands out upon you and it got up and he said, you lie to me again? Know what? Well, anyway do we leave that from another discussion? The most important thing is that Samthon eventually went down. Are we together many times? Do you know if something realized? I don't know what really happened to him. Maybe it was an attack, but if it imagine, listen, listen, listen, Imagine that Samthon eventually got angry and looked at her A lion sathing toy lion toy beer defeated the Phinish times really moved the city gates, not the door to your house, the gates to a city that people use cranes to carry. He carried it and then went up a mountain dropped it there. If you were answered one five such a man, wouldn't you turn a look at the person who sent you and say? Is this how you want to kill me? So imagine. But with all of that, when money came, he said, clear the way. Let me show you the power I have. I don't talk, but I moved things money for you. And Deliah said, all. Right, since you brought the subject. Of money, I can't take the risk. Finally, Samson revealed the secret, my glory and the powers and the covenant that is captured in my hair. Samson, the Phillips stands upon you. He got up. The Bible said, he shook himself as before this time around money had gone forth, and noticed the moment they discovered after she shaved his hair, the next thing that happened was his eyes, not his hands. Vision was what was taking away immediately his eyes were plucked out. When his eyes were plucked out, the devil did not want to remove the hand, because he will still be useful. For the devil. And you see what a great man a George, a man who was dreaded that some of the best armies in the dead world. He became one who was going around threshing. In the prison, he was bound with fetters, and his assignment. Was to go on the grinding. Can you imagine reduce from a place of honor using the tool of money. I'm praying for you, whatever has reduced you to a place of shame and mockery, reduced your family ordained for greatness, but brought down because of the absence of economic resources. May my God, who is the lifter of men, in this season that the Church is stepping into in the name of Jesus, may God tire you for greater works. May my God proust are you for greater works. Please sit down, the force of wealth and abundance. Number five. Are you ready for the fifth force? The fifth force that is responsible. For greater works? My God, I really believe that this world is entering someone's spirit, that you are getting There is a holy anger that is coming upon you. That when you get up, you will coordinate all these forces and your life will become a sign and a wonder. The fifth force that is responsible for exalting and releasing Jesus, revealing him to the world is called the force of influence. Write it down, please. Influence is power, the force of influence, the force of influence. Influence is power. Please write it down. Influence is great power. The force of influence. Influence, like money, are related the shape civilizations. They define people's understanding, They define people's thinking, They define people's values at any given point. Can I tell you. Our world today is not just going at the messy of time. Our world today is a reflection of the mindset of certain influential people, godly or otherwise. From technology to sociology, to the language we use, the way we raise children, the way family is run. Are we together now? The way ministries run, the. Way businesses are conducted civil Their influence literally shapes civilization. What does it mean to influence? Number one? The capacity to have an effect. Influence is defined as the capacity to have an effect on the character, perceptions, behaviors, decisions, and the values of another. I will take it again. Influence is the capacity to have an effect, whether positively or negatively, an effect on the character, on the perceptions, on the behavior, on the decisions, and on the value of another. When you have an effect on the character, the perception, the behavior, the decisions, and the values of another, you are. Exacting influence upon that person. One last time. The capacity to have an effect on the character number one, number two, the perception, number three, the behavior, number four, the number five. The values of another is called influence. Please look up. This concept of influence is very powerful and it's. Very profound because you see. A handful of people, historically and even now are the ones who are always responsible for shaping and defining the narrative of a civilization. Are we together now? That people a crowd of people who usually model their lives after an individual or a set of individuals that they consider to be worthy of emulation. They call them all kinds of names. Role models. Some will call them celebrities, some will call them influences, some will call them you name it, You know all the names. And unfortunately, some of these people have been positive. Role models in terms of bringing. Values that shape society properly, but many of them, sadly, have been very wrong and destructive models. There are children to there who have no business learning certain things except that someone they admire. You see the psychology of influences. The moment you like someone and he becomes a reflection of your aspiration, you will copy everything you can see and find in his life, good or bad, because the assumption is that whatever he is doing, since he has that. Result to show, it must be right. Are we together? So when Satan once who destroy a generation, he does not go after everybody. What happens is that he builds certain people through covenant back top with excellence and an indoctrination that makes them know that they are pro Satan Antichrist vocaliso. And then when he brings them when that negotiation is done, then he will exhort them and give them the leverage of influence I wish together now, And from that standpoint they begin to sell certain value systems and as ugly as some of those value systems are, you would think they should be so pungent an intelligent persons should reject them, but never downplay what influence. That's way man influence can make darkness look like light. Greater works on the wings of influence. There are many people today. Do you know once upon a time, have you noticed that, generally speaking, we speak better. Our generation communicates a lot better. Not necessarily because people who have gone to more schools and learned. It's simply because the Internet has afforded people a greater opportunity to hear and listen to communicators, and that has automatically improved people. You listen to our children. When you hear our children speak, you wish you were them. They speak intelligently, they will correct you. I had an experience with one of our lowly children. I was calling everything that was around orange. So one time I was at the rotunda and I said, wow, this is orange, and she tapped me. She said, it's not orange. I can't remember the name. She called it. And she was right, Ladies and gentlemen, oh it's for that's what you were taught. Anything that is oh is orange. But our children now you can imagine they will correct you. And I said, no, no, this is orange, this is this one, This is this one. That is the level of advancement. Court see influence. Children learn now at a. Remarkable pace because they have all your visuals that help support your understanding, pictorial representations of the things. Biology used to be a nightmare, chemistry, physics, but now children life while they're learning. When they fail, the teachers call them and said, were you in your right state of mind? Are you okay? We can repeat the test. You know what happened when you were writing your test. You carry your results and start crying before you get home because you know exactly what will happen, and what you are expecting is exactly what will happen. I need you to guess whatever it is. I will not say it. Oh yes, you know, you knew exactly what was going to happen. Now results are released in inversions. You don't have to join any que and do anything. I'm just saying that influence shapes civilization. Are we together very very powerful and profound? It then means that if we believers are going to do greater works, we must trust God for grace to accent heights and realms where our life becomes visible and clear. Are we together in an elevated platform where people can see the life of God in you? I like Jesus Matchu Chapter five thirteen to sixteen is the most concise. Capture of the confluence, the whole idea of influence. Jesus says it this way, Ye are the salt matchew five point thirteen of the earth. We are the salt. Ladies and gentlemen. You know what salt is able to do. One pot of rice does not require one pot of salt to taste well away together, look at the ratio of the salt that must be added to a pot of rice to make it taste well, say influence. So when you see a bag of salt and a bag. Of rice, you're not holding the same thing. If you mix them ratiow one to one, you destroy that meal. Am I right on that? So light is even a greater. Expression of influence because light does not have to be everywhere to shine everywhere. Just put it at one point and give it room. To shine, and it gives light to everyone in the room. It says, neither do men light a lamp and put it under a busher watched this. The light is put on a candlestick and kept on a busher, and the whole room is illuminated by that light. And Jesus says, you are that salt. Don't say we are few. Don't say we are few. Five people who are salt, indeed can rewrite the narrative of a generation. Am I right on that? Five people? And then he says, you are light. Look at the Sun. As we know. Every time I use the example of the Sun. I learned the power of influence. Did you know that if you ask the Sun what do you do about darkness? The Sun will tell you I have never seen darkness. I don't even know it exists. The concept of darkness is the rotation of the Earth in a way that the Sun does not reach it. But as far as the Sun is concer from its creation, there has never been darkness. Because from that standpoint, isn't it brilliant? When you are traveling, especially transcontinentally, you see the wisdom and the beauty of the sun that one moment you are living and it's night, and then you are turning to the other side of the globe, and then you are seeing the sun rising, incredible, profound. You go to other parts of the world where at about eight or nine is still bright, and then all of a sudden the brilliance and the wisdom of God. No one that he says you are salt, and he says you are light. Most believers only know that they are believers. But God is transitting or understanding, giving you an apostolic. Perspective, that you are salt and you are light. Please say salt, say light one more time, say salt, say light. That means, in the midst of five hundred students, if you are the only one who is there, you are enough to create that change salt for you. The assignment of salt essentially is to add. Taste and then to preserve. These are the two principal assignments of salt. There can be a lot others, of course, but then to add taste and then to preserve. And you see, like I taught you here in Coinonia, it is never too late to add salt to a meal. This is the thing about salt. There are certain ingredients that if you do not add them on time, you have destroyed that meal. But even when the meal is already served at. The table, you will still see salt, and if it does not taste, you can add salt and it does not ruin the meal. Profound. How about light? Remember my example that I gave you ten years darkness. A room with ten years darkness, another with one year darkness, another with two week darkness. Imagine all of these rooms they have been back for that long, and then you connect them to a bob with a central switch. As soon as you switch it on, which of the rooms who come up first? All of them at the same time. The longevity of darkness does not affect the effect of true light. Just because the light has been off for ten years. As soon as you get it right and you fix it in that moment, the light will come up. Jesus says, I am the light. Of the world. For as long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. Corn only I hear me. You are the light of the world. You are not just instance. You are the light of the world, the light of the cosmos, the salt of the earth. I believe in influence. Right from the time God started raising and Dullinus, I believed with all my heart that it is profitable for us and for the kingdom to attain a point of influence. Influence brings you closer to the corridors of power and authority, and it affords you the opportunity to enhance positive changes. Prophets in the Bible where people who advice kings, the advice nobles. Nobles called prophets my father. Why because among the many decisions that control their nations where their submission to prophets who brought to them the wisdom of God or the wisdom of other deities. I don't run away from the corridors of influence and power. I will not be corrupted and compromised by them. But I'm not one of. Those men of God who would chicken away. No no, no, no, no no. No. Great men, big men. They are my friends. I would love them, pray for them, counsel them as much as they're willing to listen. There is a narrative in the Church that seems to isolate the believer from the main activities within the cosmos. There is a history to that error. When you study the history of the church. I don't want to mention the name of the groups because I'm speaking to a global audience. But when you study the history of the church. Once upon a time there was a group of people who believe that their idea of holiness and purity was and then NATed from the mainstream activities of the church. And historically that happened because during an emperor called Emperor Nero, there was persecution of the church. Believers were burnt with fire, they were put in oil, and all kinds of Mayhem was being unleashed on believers. Are we together? And so under the reign of Emperor Constantine, Bible history would tell us that victory because of a revelation God gave him of the cross. Victory was brought for. His armies, and because of that, they liberalized the practice of the Christian faith and gave an injunction that Christians should no longer be persecuted on account of their faith. Now, those who under the reign of men like Emperor Nero, if you were saved, sometimes you would not even last two three days because they were living in the midst of persecution. So things like taking care of family, attending to other needs was not in their mind. It was just mattiadom. But when that garden was lifted, that then believers did not know what to do. With their lives. Are you seeing now? And so a few people said, look, we cannot sit here living useless lives. We love the Lord. But since we're no longer dying, we have wives, we have children, we have responsibilities. We're living in a society that we need to be part of, even though not compromised by then a group of people now branched out and said, listen, we need to be involved in activities of commerce, activities of nation building. We cannot alienate ourselves. And that started branching different sects in the Christian faith. So the idea of alienating yourself from mainstream society as proof of spirituality is a repetition of an age old error. And apostolic community must know that you are sent. Please say after me, sent one more time, says send. Sense gives an idea of a forward movement, that you are sent as light in the midst of darkness. Light is not profitable in light. Here's how it works. If you on your phone, Let's assume God forbid that the light in this auditorium suddenly went off. You will have to make do with the light on your phone. Am I right on that? But when the light comes up, you don't need that lesser light again, you have to put it off. That's how it works. So when the world will have to manage the systems that they have that explain morality, that explain excellence, like using a touch light, because the churche that is the true lights has refused to rise. So systems and policies that sometimes may not be pro kingdom will have to be enacted and established as a midwife. Until the manifestation. Of the saints. But my Bible says Romance eight eighteen, for I reckon that the sufferings of this present time it's not worthy to be compared with the glory that shall be revealed in US. Verse eighteen says for the endless expectation of creation, I waited the manifestation of the sons of God. If you're part of that army, shouted loud, Amen, allelujah. When you have the opportunity to rise through influence and have the ears the heart of kings and. You can direct them right. You see, this is the reason why before God will trust a man with influence, he will deal with your flesh, and flesh must die. Do you know why, Because. When you run to a point of influence. You are now around and within the corridors of power, and it takes a covenant walk with God not to be compromised by the Greeks and the glamor that power brings. The challenge until now, for the body of Christ is people who have been ill trained and have not stayed to be properly trained and mentored. If they find themselves in position of authority, with all your respect, whether they are politicians or government people, and all of that, they suddenly find themselves, by whatever means, in the corridors of power because they have not been trained. The Bible says in Daniel one and verse eight, it says, and Daniel post in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat. He purposed a determination. Your will can play a role that, in the name of Jesus, as I get to this office, I will not tat corners. I will not bribe, I will not give or take bribe. This is how I will show favor. I will help people, but this is how I will run my life. You can purpose in your heart. I give you a disclaimer. Integrity has a serious consequence because. We live in a big devil world. So if you are planning to be a person of integrity, get ready to go through the persecutions that follow people of integrity and character. You will be termed a fool by many people. They will call you names and say you and your children would die of hunger. You don't know how this thing works. You would have manipulated your way, and a billionaire I will suddenly evolve out of thin air. But can I tell you? The Bible says mark. The wicked, their end is destruction. That is why you find out many people who look and steal money, with all due respect, they get to a point where you find out their children cannot even right so become anything great. And the children don't know what kind of courses on them. Did your Bible not say the course of the Lord is in the. House of the wicked. But by all means, ladies and gentlemen, God is not just looking for good preachers. He's looking for men who will accend the heights of influence and relevance because one on one evangelism will not get the job done. Thank God for one on one evangelism. But while living today in a sociological context where it's not even safe to stand and do one on. One with anybody again, because you. Can corner somebody one on one, and the person who bring out your knife and say. Before you to preach, drop your money and your fall. I've been looking for somebody that I will still from. Thank you for making yourself available. And so we must be. Wise as sappens and gentle as dogs. Jesus already told us that we are sheep in the midst of wolves. Are we together? Someone can blackmail you and say while you are preaching, the person can say you are an umbrober. You don't know whether the person just came out of the forest, and then you are the first evangelist the person met and you are trying to preach, whereas the memory of his being kidnapped one week ago. He can just shout and call you FCC or call the police. And if God does not help, you are in trouble. So we must reinvent. Why is the strategies. I'm not saying one on one is bad, but I'm saying that we must invent more effective kingdoms. Strategies of witnessing to people. And one of such as proposed by Scripture, is influence kingdom advances at the messy of a healthy blend of evangel and influence, evangelism and influence, evangelism and influence. Isn't it incredible that I'm standing from this point, ladies and gentlemen, and I'm talking literally to tens of thousands of people, potentially millions of people across the globe from one point. That is the power of influence thanks to technology. Don't reject influence. It is not just a tool to feel good. There is an assignment. Influence is a tool. There are many people who love Jesus because they what you love in Jesus. There are many. People who be responsible because they watch you being responsible. There are many people who be frugal because they watch you model frugality. There are many people who be men and women of integrity because they see it manifesting your life. I'm praying for someone here on account of your desire to see Jesus glorified. May God elevate you to any. Platform required for you to serve Him well in the name of Jesus Christ. If you need to be a CEO to representing. Me, that great rest on you. If you need to be given an appointment with some international organizations, so that you will be a model to nations that there are men who can serve God. Wellth I'm crying on to my God that in. The name of Jesus, may you begin to put you in strategic positions from the rising of the sun to the setting the same. Your name is Listen down right. The key to influence is results. The key to send knowing Bible influence is results. Ladies and gentlemen. I hate to be a para of bad news, but I announ so you painfully, so that no body will follow. A man who does not have results. No body will follow an institution that does not have results. No body will be loyal to a nation, a people, a person and organization that. Does not have results. Results Here represent solutions, solutions that better people, solutions. You can imagine some of the influencers in the world from a technological standpoint. Some of you have never seen some of the giants, the type giants. You've never met with them one on one, and yet people dressed like them, talk like them, bear their names. How many people today will fight to own the jerseys of certain footballers use jerseys. That's the power of influence. Are we together because you see, the human spirit was so designed. I've taught you to find fulfillment when you make progress, and when you see people who model what you desire to become. It's usually a beautiful sight to behold. And chances are excellent that you will want to practice anything you think they are doing. To have gotten to that position influence results. Our generation is so fulnerable to influence. This is why God must raise models that represent the counsel of God. Holistically. Let's show the world what it means to be intelligent, blessed, humble and yet loving the Lord with all our hearts. And let me tell you, when your heart is right, God will take the limits of your life and elevate you. You've heard me say it, and I will repeat it again that the Lord told me many years ago that if you seem if you will let men see me, there is nothing I will not give you. Allelujah. The question I have for you is that if the whole world were to model their lives after you, will the world become a better place or play If the whole world We're given a divine instruction by God that between now and the end of the year December, everybody on Earth, from Europe to America, Asia, Antarctica, across the continents. You are the God's recommended model. And everybody young and old, educated or educated, diplomats, academicians, intellectuals, family people, they are mandated by God to model. Only you for six months. Will it solve the problem in the world or will it add to the problem in the world. Make reference to my teaching redefining inheritance and then the teaching what seekest thou there? I teach on the concept. Of fulfillment and progress and impact. And one of the things. I taught as an inheritance is a good name. At the end of your life. Your name can be a key or a pluck. I repeat at the end of your life to your children and to all those who look up to you. Your name can be a key that opens closed doors, or your name can be a padlock. The truth about it is whether you look at it politically or spiritually or generally. There are people today. If you mention their names, their names represent hope. When you mention people like Nelson Mandela, when you mention people like Mahatma Gandhi, these are people who their names exemplify hope. People can cry literally at the mention of their name because they're inspired by what they live for. There are other names like Satan. When you mention, am I right on that? At least let me mention the worst Satan. Imagine someone calling you that name and then it says, I'm joking, you will still be angry. Am I right on that? Why is it a spelling? Very beautiful spelling. But there is a terrible history behind that name. Is it S that is wrong? Or A that is wrong? Or T that is wrong? These are letters in an alphabet that were called I'm the letters of an alphabet, but that there is a history behind that name. I'm praying for you that if there is anything connected to your name today that at the mention of will will represent pungency and make people say, over my dead body made the messy of God. Erase it today? I say to Kat, made the messy of God? Erase it today. There are families today where individuals connected to those families have had to change the surnames, in fact, change the entire names. Do you know why? Because if they there mentioned that name in certain quarters and certain circles, it can change their destiny indefinitely, influence. Ladies and gentlemen. Influence is beyond social media, even though social media plays a great role because of the generation administers too. But I can tell you this, the greatest way to market anything is the truth. You have no fear if what you are advocating and communicating is the truth. The limitation with the social media space, with all due respect, is that it has provided an advantage for growth, for increase, for enlightenment, but it has come with a terrible side effect that sells falsehood. Falsehood is literally a product and many keep buying it. One of the major products being sold out and is being consumed by people is falsehood. You can spend your entire life creating the narrative of a lie or living in a lie, selling a lie, being deceived yourself. Else I'm deceiving others. That is the one demerit unfortunate thing about the ill use of the social media space. It is a very profitable platform. It has changed the world, redefined civilization. But it is only most profitable if these ills, this side defects can be managed. Cooinonia is not only a place of power and grace, miracles, science and wonders. We have a mandate to also raise people of influence. And I'm telling you you do not know the joy in my heart when I hear that God is giving people jobs, giving people promotions, elevating them. For me, as a man of God, I don't just beat my chest and say wow, my people are rising. No, no, no, no no. My joy is that vision that God has given Genesis seventeen six, that it is coming to pass, and I'm praying for you. I would never stop even now I'm saying it again. Any position you need. To rise through, whether in sports, whether in media space, whether as a man of God, whatever kind of results your life needs to produce to give you an elevated platform, May my. God, who is also your God, lifts you. And kip you there, and hear me for some of you who are already lifted there, any power that wants to bring you down. In the name of Jesus, I call upon the God of Heaven. May here rise and tear down any altar that wants to bring you down. I say it again, Men by God, a rise and tear down any altar, a chopracato theater, any man who has been elevated by God, and any conspiracy by charms or hexies, fells or enchantments that said this man, this woman must die. This person was fault, this poition, most fault, this politician must fault. I declar and declare those altars as catat right. Now, allelujah. There are forces looking for men of God to bring them down. You know why not because of the man of God. Because if such a great man goes down, the millions of people who believe in the. Person who also go down. There are many business men who many people eat because of their business. And you see the strategiest this. When Satan sits that you are in an elevated position where your life matters to the well being of many people, you become his principan source of attack. He will use anything human, systemic, demonic, spiritual discouragement. Danielle was elevated in Babylon, and because of his position, he was protecting not only the interests of God. I'm not advocating fanatism. Listen to me. The Christianity that I preach does not profit Christians, the presentity that I profit all men. I don't advocate a Christianity that downplace other religions. You will never hear me do that. Jesus came and he fed five thousand men. The Bible does not tell us that everybody there was a believer. I will never advocate a Christianity that is built on blind fanatism. Please hear me. If you're a politician here, or you are anyone in an elevated position, God did not put you there to favor Christians alone. God put you there to favor all men. The Bible says, be good to all men. Albeity says especially there that out of the household of faith, let the Gospel and the Kingdom profit from your life. But not from a standpoint of blind fanatism. There are many people today who have been wrongly mentored and they got to positions of authority, and the only people they saw were Christians, and they left other people or the non Christians hungry. No, if you are putting a position, you are there. Of course, everybody will serve to reflect what they believe. But let me tell you sincerely, we are called to serve all men. When God grants us the privilege to do the things that we do to prisons, boreholes and the rest, we don't do it in consideration to whether who is a Christian or not. He sends the rein to the godly and young godly. There are privileges society must enjoy by. Reason of you being a child of God. Are we together? I have to say this because when you are raising people of influence, influences a delicate product. You can use it to mislead people. I say it again, I will never advocated Christianity that throws down other people. There are non Christians watching me right now, watching from various places. And as much as we are people who are motivated by our love for Jesus, forcally so or not shamedly so, we have a responsibility of. Translating the kingdom. Life to a context that better society. If Abudha is better because of Collinonia, we are serving God properly. If only Christians are better in a Budha, we are not serving God properly. You believe that when a road is viewed, it's. Not only Christians that will pass it. Am I right on that when healthcare becomes a thing worthy of emulation, it's not only Christian patients that will be attended to. How many people are operated upon, they pray before they go to the hospital. Yet it's a non Christian. Probably sometimes someone who is not even does not believe in anything, but that's the person who performs the surgery, and you submit your body to that person. This is responsible Christianity that you are learning. So please hear me. If you have any practice in your place of power that that victimizes a certain set of people intentionally, that is not God's that is not the advocacy of the Christians faith. All should enjoy the benevolence. All should enjoy you being there. I'm saying this because weomen of God with all due respect. We need to be careful to not put pressure on the people of influence that God has brought. Under our care. Leave them to serve with integrity and dignity. We can correct, we can advise, but never put anybody under the palm of your hand. Under the guise of spiritual leadership. We must allow God's people to serve. When they go wrong, we correct them in love. Are we together and we advocate a Christian context that makes the entire society profit. This is what Jesus taught. That's what it means to be the soult of the earth, the light of the world. Please be seated. Let me give you the last point, and then we'll finish. Greater works. Part two. I believe in influence. I advocate influence. God is raising strategic people and giving them these mantles and these graces, elevating them. There are tools that help an individual to become a person of influence. Excellence, the fortitude to do your work or to surpass ordinary standards. Are we together now? I will not give a job to a Christian who is lazy and will cut corners in the name of Jesus, I will not do a great job. No, if I have a road project and someone comes, if you're a Christian, you can secure my sympathy in all fairness, and I will do it without I wouldn't do it without any hiding or whatever. But then you must show me the excellence you are bringing to the table. Considering you will only become an added advantage when I've seen that your excellence will be worth the while. Let's not advocate blind fanatism that keeps destroying our continent and our nation. There are many people who are destroyed the lives of orders in the name of Jesus, bad roads in the name of Jesus, bad buildings in the name of Jesus, and yet there are people who are competent and just because of biases of faith. When you hear me speak like this, I don't speak of myself. It is the spirit of God speaking to me. Allelujah. The Church should profit from every believer that God elevates. But in profiting we must not forget the fact that God sends us to minister to all men, and that influence is enhanced by a life of excellence. Excellence. If you are given a job, do it well with integrity. Those that are eating the money before the contract is on, no, be disciplined. Do the job well. The profit will come. And when you see, excellence has a way of recycling opportunities to your life. Again, there is nobody who lives what works. When you are excellent and you deliver as a man of God, God grants you grace. People will invite you for a conference. Do your homework. Don't stand there and just want to make. Noise, and then pray that you are invited again. No, you pray what you study, do your homework, speak to the people with excellence. You will go back there again. As a banker, do your work well. A businessman, do your work well. You run a shop and a mall. You wake up by eleven o'clock and close by three o'clock, and your excuse is that I'm running to church. I love you. Sincerely, but that approach is a loser's approach. You can employ people, and that improves other people who may not be there, so that while you are in church, your products are sell running and you are blessing people. Listen, I told you that the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is not just a spiritual platform. It's also an. Institution where people are reoriented afresh. In fact, it is the cheapest institution on earth because you do not need to write jump to come to church. Age, range does not matter, quarter of regions does not matter. You find your way from your home and come and sit down, and after two three hours you'll leave a radically transformed version of you. The cheapest institution known to man as far as advocating change, transformation and greatness is concerned. Let me give my last point. Looks like I'm giving a speech. We're still in church. This is Coinonia, this is not a un conference. Allelujah the Last Force. And then we'll find somewhere to pray. Have you been blessed the force of the prophetic greater works, the last force that I would give you that is responsible for manifesting greater works. And I'm going to be speaking over your life shortly and in the name of Jesus, this grace will work for you, the force of the prophetic. Exodus seventeen from verse eight. The prophetic, as designed by God has been a major twol that has shifted changed the climates, the spiritual climate of territories. Men have come to bow to the lordship of Jesus all through scripture call to see the prophetic every time people derail, every time in society and in territory plunges to any kind of decadence. It is very usual of God, and it's a strategy to raise a prophetic voice. And I'll explain to you what I mean. By prophetic, because for us believe us today. Let me say that upfront, the prophetic is not just limited. To the office of a prophet. There are three dimensions of the prophetic, and I'll show you as we wrap up. But let's read. Exodus seventeen from verse eight. Watch this then came Amalek and fought with Israel at refidum. We're reading down to fifteen. The Bible says, and Moses said, on to Joshua, choose those out men and go out fight with Amelek. Tomorrow. I will stand on the top of the heel with the rod of God in my hand. Watch this. Now they are going to battle, and Moses is saying, I will not be there fighting, but I have a role to play in the victory of Israel. Are we together? And Moses said to Joshua versus vers ten, Now let's go to verse ten. So Joshua did as Moses have said to him and fought with Amelek. And Moses watched this. Aaron and three men they went to the top of the hill. You would think that a serious battle were happening. Moses should come and join and fight, but Moses said, no, My role in establishing these victory is not to fight physically. I have a prophetic role. Watch this now verse eleven. And it came to pass when Moses held up his hand that Israel prevailed. Look at this, and when he let down his hand, Amelek prevailed. What then was the excellency of the training. Warriors are fighting, and the victory does not depend on the dexterity of your swords or their stealing battle. That someone is fighting, who is not even looking at Moses, and yet a man is standing and the position of his hand is literally defining the destiny of a nation. Twelve. But Moses's hands became heavy. Can you imagine that that is trouble for Israel. Moses's hand, the prophetic became heavy, The prophetic became downplayed. And the Bible says, and they took his stone. Now what's this? You would think, because Moses was tired, it would be logical for Aaron or Joshua, Aaron and huw to. Say, all right, Moses, go onrest. If it's all about the rod, hold it. But the Bible says, no, it was not just about the rod. It was about the man away. Together they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat. They invented whatever still on that God to keep that hand lifted, because they understood that in the midst of swords, in the midst of skill, in the midst of courage, the prophetic still has a role to play in bringing the victory of a people, the Bible says, And Aaron and Harst stayed up his hand, and one on one side and the other on the other side. And his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. That's how long the battle lasted. And for as long as his hand was lifted, victory was clear. Thirteen And Joshua discomfited Amlek and his people with the edge of the sword. Now this looks like a mystery. Now why are you telling us about Joshua and the sword again? But the secret behind the scene was a man's. Hand, a prophet's hand ordained by God for the victory of the people. Fourteen Let's finish up. And the Lord said onto Moses, he said, write this. When God says to write something, it means it's a pattern. Are we together? When God says, right, you see the same thing in revelations. Right, every time God tells men to write, is saying there is a spiritual pattern. Right, this for a memorial in a book, and rehears it in the ears of Joshua. For I will utterly put out the remembrance of the Amelek from under heaven. Final verse fifteen. And Moses butte and altar there and named it after. That experience, as Jehovah Nissi. Jehovah Nissi. That name came. Out of an experience that you're. Still in partnership with the prophetic is what produce these great works. Listen to me, ladies and gentlemen, you have been taught the. Value of the Prophetic. Here for the sake of our discussion tonight, very quickly, let me give you three levels. Today I wrote here all. Believers can enjoy the blessings of the Prophetic. Today, all believers can enjoy the blessings of the Prophetic through these three channels. All believers can enjoy the blessings of the Prophetic through these three channels. Number one, the World of God. The Word of God. Afforced all believers the opportunity to enjoy the prophetic. Second Peter one nineteen. Second Peter one nineteen. The first channel by which all believers can enjoy the ministry of the Prophetic for their profiting is called the World of God. It says we have also a. Most shore word of prophecy. So it calls scripture the Word of God, a most show word of prophecy. That means, if you never have the opportunity to meet any. Prophet one on one as it where you. Are still not disadvantage as it where if you have access to the world that the Word of God is able to meet wife, you're accessing the blessing of the prophetic. Number two, The second. Basis for enjoying. The ministry of the prophetic for the believer today is the ministry of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit has been given to all believers without reservation, and his ministry affords you an opportunity to enjoy the prophetic John sixteen thirteen. Is God speaking to someone John sixteen thirteen? How be it when he the Spirit of truth is come? The Bible says he will guide you into all truth? Are you seeing his prophetic assignment there? He shall not speak of himself, but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak I like the last sentence, And. He will show you things to come. So, if you do not have the privilege of hearing Joshua Salman prophesies or speak to you, you have no fear, because greater than Joshua Salman is in you, and with you are we together. Now it's good to receive the prophetic ministry, but you must be careful so that you do not get into the idolatry of worshiping the prophetic above the world of God and above the ministry of the Holy Spirit. Every man of. God that operates in the prophetic correctly is empowered by the Spirit of God who lives in you. So the Bible says that he can show you things to come. It is an advantage when you have a vessel that can bring guidance and direction, reprove correction, instruction, and help you exhortation, like the Bible says, but that you are not at a disadvantage as it were, if you do not have a physical personality that represents the prophet. The ministry of the Holy Spirit can become that breach and help you to know things to come. The Bible says in First Corinthians to understand First Corinthians to understand the ministry of the Holy Spirit as a channel for expressing the prophetic. But God had revealed them to us. The revelatory dimension of the prophetic does not just happen because of a vessel. It happens also because of the Holy Spirit, it says, for the Spirit can such all things. There is no prophet that can touch all things of God. Because the Bible says. In First Corinians Statin, it says, we. See impart and we prophesy in part. So the most accurate of any prophet on earth is still limited. Are we together now? But the Holy Spirit has the unique ability to such all things, even. The deep things of God. Part of those old things are the matters that relate to your destiny, the matters that relate to your ministry, the matters that late to your family, And that when you pay respect to the prophetic ministry of the Holy Spirit, you can receive and outsource that prophetic advantage court see the Holy Spirit. And then, finally, the third, which is the most common channel for expressing the prophetic, is through the ministry gifts. That we call the prophetic. And by prophetic here it does not just mean prophetic office. It just means everyone who, either by call or by alignment, has come to a position where they are able to communicate the counsel of God. There are prophets who are called of God into that ministry, but there are believers who have stayed with God and evolved into dimensions where they are prophetic has been so sharpened you will think they are prophets, but they are not. Prophets. The prophetic is the privilege of every believer, the same way everybody can cook. You have access to the kitchen. But there are people called chefs. Am I right on that? Yes, people are specialized. If you want to cook for kings and the rest, they are the people to call. But that does not mean everybody has the privilege. Of a kitchen and to cook there. This is how it is. There are people called into the office of the prophetic. According to Ephesients for eleven and. Twelve, he gave on to some apostles. He gave on to some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers. To what end twelve For the equipping, perfecting, maturing of the saints, for the work of the ministry, and for the defying of the Body of Christ. Thattain to the points that we come into the unity of faith, of the knowledge of the Son of God, onto a perfect man, onto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ. But notice for a certainty that if you ignore the prophetic, either the prophetic that comes from scripture, the prophetic that comes from the inspiration and the guidance of the Spirit, or the prophetic that comes from the. Voices that God has. Placed over you. You will never be able to command greater works. Jesus, the first dimension of the prophetic at work in his life was the very fact that he was the Word incarnate. He was the Word himself. Yet from age twelve he went to the temple to learn scripture, to find out the things that were written concerning him to lend the law number two. The Bible tells us that Jesus himself the Holy Ghost came upon him are we together? After he was being baptized of a man a prophet again called. John, and then the Holy Ghost came upon him. He went to the wilderness, and so on and so forth and all two. John only met him once and did not. Meet him again until he died, as recorded in scripture. But the Holy remain with Jesus until the time that he was about to perform the substitutionally sacrifice, where he had. To leave him so that he would become sin. That's why the same spirit that came back on the third day and raised Christ from the dead, meaning he was not in him. Jesus would never have died with. The Holy Spirit in him. When the Bible says he gave up the ghost. He was not just talking about the Holy Spirit left Jesus right from gath semony. He was not on the cross. He left Jesus right from gath semony. That was the cry he was crying, Let this cop pass over me. He was not the cop of death. He already announced he was going to die. For the first time, the triune Godhead would be separated. Ladies and gentlemen. The prophetic plays a powerful role when it is done within the boundary of scripture in preparing men and equipping them for a great life. I'm saying that because in a few minutes, I'm about. To speak over your life. I always used to see. Our father in the Lord, Bishop David Adepoe, and our father and the Lord, you know, the Father's. Generally, there were people who were really given to prophetic declarations. They would declare for hours, they will make a statement, and the next thing declare, you will hear a father and the Lord babah at the boy. He would stand and just make declarations, sometimes in the silence of his voice, and make these declarations. And you know, the earlier in my life and the ministry, I always wondered why almost every statement. They made their most make a declaration, then continue, then make a declaration, then continue, And I said. Wow, this is interesting. I got to find out that this prophetic you see is like a layer of possibilities that you release upon people and it becomes literally it's like simulating a spiritual cloud before you, and you'll. Shout, men, sincerely, are we together? Yes, those men, I tell you, sincerely, we're not noisemakers. They still are not. There are people who have a covenant with God. They will make one declaration with understanding, and you will. See those open. Because the Lord performed, you confirmed the words of his servants, and performed the. Counsel of his messengers. The spirit of God and possibilities. In the kingdom are at the messy of speakings. In Isaiah, Ezekiel touches seven. You know the story from verse one down to ten. When you read, Ezekiel was in the valley that was full of bolds. Out of the many activities that would. Have happened there, I thought Ezekiel would be giving the manday to one look for the bones and gather them together like wood. But he said, no, you don't need to do that. You are a prophet I will tell you what to say. That means every prophet must be told what to say. Just because you're a prophet does not mean you speak carelessly. We profess high as we are commanded. That is why you will see results. Can I tell you when you speak out of the flesh, God is not obliged to back up. Anything he did not instruct. One secret to embarrassment is ignoring God. While we are ministring, you will say many things that will not come to pass, and somebody will be putting the track record together. One day they will show you like a report card. You said this, it did not happen. You said this one it did not happen. With these few points of mind, I would never listen to you again. While we are prophesying and people have brought shame and reproach to themselves because we're under pressure to say what God is not saying. You call somebody out of pressure you are journey said no, no, no, I'm victim. You have three children, I am not even married. And we may make a fool out of yourself. Of course, if you are learning, said Johnny, fail your way to accuracy, but make sure that there is sincerity in your heart. We are being commanded to bless and would do with authority, because there is a grace that defends the speakings. Any time God sends a man, he sends forth the grace. That is the reason why you hear prophetic declarations. And you see with God gives weakness, as Chapter four and the staty three the Bible says, and with great power gave the apostles weakness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all, great grace. It takes power to give weakness. Hallelujam ladies and gentlemen. If you desire to manifest greater works, the greater works that Jesus said you would do, translating to the salvation of men and nations, translating to the transformation of men and nations, bringing many people to experience the life of God, indeed, bringing healings to nations, bringing prosperity to nations, shape in cultures, creating a civilization that is pro Christ, pro kingdom, through development, pro advancement. Then you need to subscribe to all of these forces. My assignment is to reveal. Them to you and then imput upon you by the spirit the great requirement to work in these things. I conclude my teaching today by revealing to you a very profound scripture. It says, now that ye know these things, happy are you if you do them? The knowers are not the ones who have results. It is a do us now that you know these things? It says, happy are you if you do them? There are many people who will know. Oh tell them, tell them, I know these things. And yet it never never works in their lives because they heard the word just like we did, and the world did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. In the parable of the soa and the seed, the Bible. Tells us that the soils. Are the hard conditions of men, that they that produce. Good seed, that produce from the good soil, are. Those who heard the world and understood it. They put it to practice, and it brought for three dimensions of results thirtyfold, sixtyfold, and a hundredfold. I don't know about you what. My destiny isspect at pursuing that ondreadful dimension, that I will evolve to the highest version of myself as He grants me the grace to serve the nations. This is my proposal to everybody, God is counting on you. Joshua Salmony alone cannot get your assignment done. It is flattery to believe that Joshua Salmon alone would make that happen. Now, our assignment is to prepare a vast army. After the order of Gideon blowing that Chauffa and thirty three thousand people came ready to fight, but they were not prepared. And he said, all. Those who are fearful and cannot are not ready to go return back. And over ten or twenty thousand people return, and he said, God said they are still too much. As much as I need a crowd, I need serious people. Second test, he said, if you know you are afraid of return back to your house. A few people still returned, and then they got to the river, and he. Said, watch their approach. Those who laugh and take it like dogs. I've always wondered what that meant, he said, those who bow down and take it like men, drop them. You know why, because a dog will never settle down. To it, It is always ready to move. That means those who see plenty and abundance are not are not distracted by that result. They are still in a position of continuity. Pick them those who settle by lying down to take it. In other words, the journey is no longer important. I have found a bondance, he said, send. Them back home. And with that test, three hundred men emerged, and that became the army that Gideon used and brought a revival against the Median Kites. Ladies and gentlemen, If God is counting on me, then I obtain grace to not fail him. If God is counting on you, counting on your business, your family, you're understanding your influence, then make sure that you do not fail him. I have shared with you at least five or six spiritual forces. We're going to pray all these forces, and then I make a declaration over your life and we're done. Please rise upon your feet in one minute. I like you to mention as many of the forces that you recall and pray them into your life. Very simple but profound prayer. As you prepare to receive the prophetic declaration. Go ahead, in the name of Jesus, the Son of the Living God. Someone is praying, Go ahead and pray as I announce again the force of prayer in the name of Jesus, the force of wisdom. Go ahead and pray it in your life. The force of faith, number three, the force of wealth and abundance, the force of influence, and finally number six, the prophetic as a potent force that empowers the saints to manifest greater works. Someone is praying in the name of Jesus, my life begins to become a revelation of the glory, the power, the grace of God at a higher dimension. I have experienced God before, I have revealed this grace before. But Lord, empower me. Go ahead and pray greater works of God. Salvation to the nations, healing to the nations. You are a man of God, pray. You are a businessman, pray, politician, pray, academician, captain of industree. All who are watching Sarah, pray in the name that is above all names. I obtain grace. I obtain grace. I obtain grace in Jesus' name. We pray. Now. I decree and declare, by the coward that raised Christ from the dead, I activate every virgin dimension in your. Life that is required for you to rise. And do greater works. Receive that chrace now in the name of Jesus. Let the spirit of prayer and supplication like never before rest upon your life. I am part upon you. This moment the spirit of wisdom. Receive it in the name of Jesus. From today you begin to make extra ordinary decisions that move your destiny forward. In the name of Jesus Christ. I decree and declare, God Save and Bishop, whatever good would say. There is a spirit of faith, and he came to a people in generation as a representation of the spirit of faith that came from Papa Heggin and was impacted upon him. I decree and declare, in the name of Jesus, the faith that works, that moves mountains, made that place, be impattered upon you now, and I pray for you. I have thought you that there is a prophetic dimension to wealth. Wealth answers to value, wealth answers to productivity, Wealth answers to relationships. Wealth answers to a lot of things, financial intelligence. However, we are not left without an advantage. I decree and declare the kind of well that your hand is yet to handle. May my God, the giver of all good things, surprise you with it. In this daty number five, the force of influence for some of you by reason of this importation. Nobody has known you now, but between now and the end of the year, in the name of Jesus, let the grace for visibility. Rest upon you. Let the grace for visibility rest upon you. Make kings hear about you. May novels here about you, May heads of government here about you. In the name of Jesus, tribe the grace that announces your gift, the grace that announces your value, the grace that announces your contribution, whether in business or in whatever area. I declare and declare everyone who is seated in the position of authority who needs to hear about you. Made the angels speak to them about you. May God use men to speak to them about you. Finally, in the name of Jesus, by the privilege of the Apostolic and the Prophetic, every door that has been closed over your life, stopping you from making destiny advancement, shali kapakatosata and break ketos kiata. In this year of open doors, I command those doors be open. Now, be open now. I pleas a prophetic world on your head, that everywhere you go, let it compel men to fai for you. Let it compel men to favor you, lemmy, any long standing battle that you have been fighting. In the name of Jesus, as Moses lifted his hands. Fore I stand as a privileged servant of God, and I lift up my hands before Jehovah and Nissi mad that God to come to one and now that God to come to an end. Now there are some of you who have not loved this year. You have watched others laugh, but laughter has been far from you. Is from one tragedy to another. Just when you think you are lifting your head, another problem comes. I say it again, the Bible says, and by a prophet, the Lord God brought you to a lot of Egypt, and by a prophet they were preserve. I stand in the name of. Jesus, the one who calls an annoyance man. I place grace on your life. Rise above every challenge, Rise above every limitation. Therefore, Canonia, I speak to you. Arise and shine, arise time, arise and shie, Arise and shy in the name of Jesus Christ. Thank you, Jesus. Give Jesus a big hand club. It is done in the name of Jesus Christ. Allelujah, give me an honor of making an auto call right now, very quickly. Thank you for your patience. You've been stretched today. Our time is fast and but I will still need to take a minute or two from you to give somebody. An opportunity to make it right with Jesus. Remember, the foundation for greater works is salvation. What Jesus could not do before the cross. Now the new and the living way. Has been opened, an opportunity for you to make it right with Jesus. You are here and you are saying apostle. Whilst hearing you preach, the Holy Spirit began to convict me that today is the day and now is the hour, whether you are making a first time decision for Jesus or you are rededicating your life. I have just one minute for you. Very boldly leave your seat, carry your bags, your bibles, whatever you came with, and I want you to gallantly walk to the front. Don't wait for someone to be the first. Wherever you are. If you're coming from the overflows, please come. Let's celebrate them as they come. There has to be someone coming to Jesus. God bless you, sir, God bless you, sir. Are you appreciating them as they come? Thank you? Thank you. Thank you. Keep clapping. Let's encourage them as they come. Just a minute to make it right with Jesus. God bless you, God, bless you, God bless you. He says he must be born again, young and old, males, female. Jesus is calling you. Allelujah. If you're joining them, please come very quickly or begin the prayer now. Appreciate all of you for taking the time and the courage. To make it right with Jesus. The Bible declares that as many who will come to him, you will in no wise cast away. Let me plead that you lift your right hand high above your head as a sign of surrender. And those who are making that decision in Zariah and our global family, here's your chance to make Jesus lord of your life. Saylf tell me all of you together, say Lord Jesus, tonight, I have heard your voice. I have heard your word. I believe that you are the son of God. I believe that you died for my sin. Right now I receive Jesus into my heart as my savior, as my lord, and as my king. I declare that the power of sin, saytan hell, and the grave is broken over my life from tonight until forever I am a child of God. I go from glory to glory, grace to grace. A man, Father, thank you for these precious people have made declarations of faith, and thank you because you are faithful to honor your word in their lives. Therefore, I call them recipients of eternal life. And I declare that the grace of God to live a victorious Christian life is released upon you from tonight till forever you go for whatever and back whatever. In Jesus' much less name, we pray a man and amen, please let me request that you kindly move to my right, which will be your left. Their counselors waving the placard that will have a word with you, and you'll be back to your seat. Let's all know them as they go. Coin Onia. Aleeluiah prays the name of the Lord. Let's share the grace together in fellowship, the grace of our Lord, Jesus Christ, the love of God, the sweet fellowship of the Holy Spirit. Rest and abide with us noun forever a man. Surely God's goodness and mercy shall follow us all the days of our lives. As we dwell in the house of the Lord, forever and ever a man God blas as you and see you on Sunday.
