Take all the glory, Take God the praise in Jesus much less nay, Amen, take your sense in God's presence to night. I believe God will do it very quick work. And I just came to encourage someone. I'm so happy, I personally is a prophet, and I'm so happy that he scheduled this meeting at this time, as though he knows the persecution that the Church would suffer at this time. And so it's a blessing to be here in the North under the umbrella of its ministry to speak to the Body of Christ in this region. Glory to God. I just came to encourage you. In fact, when I was flying into this region, my heart was heavy because of some of the things I've seen in recent times. And I'm so blessed to see that you guys are on fire and your spirit is not broken. This evening, I just want to encourage someone, and I believe that divine intervention will soon visit our nation. Hallelujah, Praise the Lord. And so I'll be teaching this evening very briefly on a subject I have titooed, he that is born of God. We have come to a season in our lives where we have to operate as men of the spirit. We have come to a time we have to operate as sons of God amongst a crooked and a weaked generation. If we don't activate our spiritual elements and propensities in the spirit in this season, the enemy will overween us. So this is a time where every believer must rise up beyond just being a member of a church to becoming truly a spiritual man. And I believe the foundation of spiritual life is the birth, the rebirth that happens as we encounter Jesus Christ. And so this evening I want to teach us and talk briefly along the lines of our rebirth in the spirit. Who we are, how we live, and what we do, especially in times of persecution glory to God. In first chungge ofter five, if you read from Bese one to Bes four, Paul was speaking to the church. John was speaking to the church, and he began to bring us this emphasis as a cardinal component of our reality in the spirit. And he said, whosoever is born, whosoever believed that Jesus is a Christ, is born of God. And he said, everyone that loved him that begot him, also that is also loved him, that is begotten of him. Verse two he said, by this we know that we love the children of God. He is the one. We love God and keep his commandments. Verse three he said, for this is the love of God that we keep his commandment, and that this commandment are not grievous. There's four he said, for whatsoever is born of God overcome the world. He said, this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith. This is my emphasis. It's a whatsoever is born of God overcome the world. And he said, this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith. When we are born of God, there is. A spiritual component that is activated on our inside. Number one. That component gives us the capacity to leave above the word system, the wickedness, the treachery, the manipulation, the iniquity, everything that characterizes the word system. The Bible says, if we are born of God, he said, something is quick king on our inside that gives us the capacity to leave above the word system. And so we are living in the wicked world, but we are not helpless, We are not vulnerable. We are not at the messy of the enemy. God knows that it time will come when the world will become too hostile, but he has gone ahead to tell us that embedded in our spirit are dimensions that gives us the capacity to leave above the world system. Whatever is obtained in the world does not have the capacity to destroy us. There is something in us that is superior to everything that can be invented, either from the world or from the pit of earth. So we are not victims working on the earth. We are the light of this world. We are the sort of the earth, and nothink the devil things can stop it. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. And so very quickly let me explain to us what it means to be born of God, so that everyone who aligns and who I identifies as a believer at this time will understand what makes him want Because this is not just a religious ritual where you become part of a church. And you are assumed to be part of the food. There is a definite spiritual requirement for everyone who says is part of us to be truly identified as part of us and to truly be able to capture and to express what makes us who we are. Because we are not just ordinary. There are supernatural things in our inside, and if we really are what we are, those supernatural things will manifest from us. And thank God, the Bible is true and God is not a liar. So if God says it is so, even in our experiences seems to be in the contrary, it does not change the truth of what God says. We will rather rise off into the reality. Of what God says we are, and God says, if we are born of him, is that we have overcome the world. I profess I someone Nothing happening in this world will take you down, not seeing, not manipulation, not wickedness. Anything that is of this world loses the power to take you down. You will live above the world, and your life will demonstrate the faithfulness of God. Because you are like the wind. You are like the wind, the Bible said, they do not least how you come or how you go. When they are ahead, you'll be behind. When they are behind or be ahead. There is nothing they will do that will hurt you. In somehow, somehow you will be above them, somehow, somehow their startagies. We fail when it comes to you, because God has matched you out that you are above the world. In the name of Jesus, Rise up above the word system. Whoever is born of God overcomes the world. The rise of the overcomers is now. A generation that the enemy we fail in every attempt to annihilate is about our eyes, a point to a call. When they hear about us paro we hit them because then we know that everything fashion against us will lose the power to hurt us, and every evil planned against us with backfire on them. Because that time, that's easy. That generation is here, and I believe so strongly that you are the fat fruit of that generation. Please sit down. What does it mean to be born of God? Number? One? To be born of God is to believe that Jesus is the Christ, the son of the Living God. If you cannot believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah, the messenger of God that brings God's dimensions to humanity. And if you do not believe that Jesus is the Son of God, you cannot be born of God. You need to. Understand why this revelation is coined in this manner. In first Johne five to one, where we just read, is said, whosoever believed that Jesus is the Christ, he is born of God. Whosoever believed that Jesus is the Christ, is that that one is born of God. If you're studying Matthew chapter sixteen, when Jesus was asking Peter and the disciples, who. Do men say, I the son of Man? I am Peter answer is that you are the Christ, the son of the Living God. Immediately Jesus said, flesh and blond has not lefted this revelation is that my father has given birth to this revelation. So what Jesus was saying is. That the moment you come into the circumference of the revelation that Jesus is the Christ and that is the son of God, you have left the womb or flesh. You have been born of the womb of the spirit, and you ask yourself, why. Is it so? Why is it important? Because as the Christ, you are affamine that the dimensions of the Spirit has come to the earth. You are affamine that the dimensions of heaven has come to the earth. Because who is the Christ. The Christ is the Maschiak. The maschiac is the messenger of God that brings the dimensions of the heavens into the athrealm. So anybody who says Jesus is the Christ is affamine that it is possible for heaven to be on the earth. He is affamine that it is possible for spirit to supper impose into flesh. He is affamine that is possible for that which is spiritual to be hostile. In the flesh. So that revelation is you are clean that spiritual dimensions can be hosted in bodily dimensions. Anybody who does not believe that spiritual dimensions can be hosted in bodily dimensions cannot be born of God. Because to be born of God. Means you are offspring of God. It means you are not just flesh or flesh. It means now. Definity manifests through humanity. It means Now God can believed out of a man. But for you to ever believe that is possible, you have to first of all, agreed that spirit can come to flesh, that heaven can come to earth. And there's summation of that revelation is that when you see Jesus, you call him the Christ. This is the one who brought heaven to earth. This is the one who brought spirit amongst men. And if it is possible with him, then it can be possible with me. The second thing that makes that revelation context in this matter is that you call him the son of God, because if you don't see him as. The son of God, how can you be the son of God. You have to see him as being the offspring of the Father to be able to see yourself possibly to be the offspring of the Father. So, as the Christ, you are agreeing with God that that which is spirit can be hosted in the body. As the Son of God, you are agreeing with God that human vessus can be offsprings of spirit. That possibility exists. Now they are religions of the world today who ask questions like God does not have a wife, how can. He have his own? So they don't believe that it is possible that spirit to our things can be hosted in bodily form. They don't believe that a spirit can give pat to a bodily offspring. That's why no matter what they do, they cannot be children of God. At best, they will be religious people. But for us, we have migrated from religion. We have come to accept that heaven can be trapped on earth. We have come to accept that the spirit can give their to a bodily figure. We have come to accept that God does not need a wife to have a child time for instance, and a moi pad does not need to marry to give them. So how can you limit God to marriage to have a child? And my pad that is at the lowest level of organisms does not need a wife. It's in the Almighty that will be limited to a wife to have a child. So if you believe that Jesus is the son of God, then you too can be the son of God. If you believe that spirit can be hosted in flesh in Christ, then you too, although you are human, you can host speed it the moment that understanding hits you. The Bible said, the womb of the spirit opens and will become an offspring of God. So a man who is born of God is actually a carrier of heaven on earth. This is why those who are born of God overcome the world. It means they're living in an economy that is so perial to the earth real. A man who is born again, who is born of God, who is the child of God, is actually a vessel that carries divinity. Around that is anywhere you get to. It's not just a man that came. God came. Because you are now a carrier of God. You are a container that hosts God. This revelation is important because we are in a season where men are vulnerable. This is why you cannot just be a man when we look at you. Your dimensions must exceed what we see. There must be a divine dimension on your inside. Every one of us one become mobile carrier of divinity. This is what God has made us. And this is why. Of many revelations in Scripture, one that stands out is that you are born of God. Is that you are a child of God. Is that you are not just a child of a man. You are a child of God. And you are a child of God because you believe that God has brought his dimension to men. You are a child of God because you believe that men can host God, and that all of that motels first of all perfected in Christ, and everyone who believes it in Christ becomes a replica of that motel. That's why the Bible said him that. I forew they say, be predesinated to be God and to be confirmed to the image of the Soul. So the moment you see the Son in that likeness, you too are fashioned into that likeness. So to be born of God is to believe that Jesus is a Christ and that is the son of the living God. So he becomes the first amongst many brethren. Number two, what does it mean to be born of God? It means to be born of this spirit. Because if you just believe it may just be a theoretical reality. God is not just dealing with a fact in the spirit, because if there is no spiritu an element to it, it may just be that God declared you to be His son. But you see what we are dealing with here is beyond God just making the declaration. Now, if God declared you to be His soul now would have been legitimate enough because. It has the authority to so do. But God is not just. Declaring us to be his sons. No, after this legal reality was captured, God now went farther to make it experiential. So when a man believes that Jesus is the son of. God and that is the Christ, what God does is that, in addition to the proclamation that on the strength of this belief you are now the son of God, God now senses to you because there is an experiential and organic aspect that God truly is now on your inside. So the second thing that makes for those who are born of God is. That the Spirit of God and tased into them, crying our bad Father. So in Romance and verse fifteen, the Bible said the Spirit of God and that every one of us that believed that Jesus is Christ, every one of us that God Jesus, the Son of God is said, the Holy Ghost was deposited on our inside. So the Holy Goost is actually the wikness and the proof that we are children of God because from our inside the Holy Ghost Christ, our bah Father, that we are no longer strangers. We were not just adopted into the family of God. That in reality, that which is of God, that which made God. God has been deposited on our inside. So when you tear us open, you will not just find lungs, liverrd. When you tear us open and your we are deep enough to access our spirit, we are going to find God hiding there. Because the Bible said him that is joined to the Lord is one spirit with him. So when we say we are born of. God, it's not just a theoretical jack on, it is an experiential reality because right now God lives on our inside. God tears on our inside. God in habits on our inside. We have become the temple of the Holy Spirit. This is why wherever we go we cannot be intimidated, because when we show up, we are like God's embassy. We brings God to the seine. We bring this dimension to the scene. That is who we are. And until we are awakened to this reality, the world will keep subduing us. The reason why the world will lose his ability to subd us is that now we know who we are, We know that we carry God. We know that when we show up, God's shows up. We are not just praying some religious prayer crying for God to help us. We are now the carriers of God. We are the extension of Heaven on earth. We are the extension of the We needed to humankind. When we step out, God steps up. There is a vital connection between. Us and God. This is why the Bible calls us the chuldren of God. We believe that Jesus is the Christ. We believe that is the son of God. On the strength of that belief, we are firm. That spiritual things can be hosted in bodily form. And it was done in Christ, so it can be done in us. On the strength of that belief, the Holy Ghost was put on our inside as an affirmation that our belief is not theology, that is a spiritual reality. And so we became children of God. Now that we are children of God, the second thing is how do we live as those who are born of God? Because there are those who don't understand. They are the biggest victims. But they are those who understand, but they don't live according to that truth. It's not it's part for you not to understand. But even when you understand, it's not enough. Having understood, there is now. A code of life. There's a way goods live. There's a way snakes leave. There's a way cockroaches leave. Have you seen cockroaches before? They only come to dark places. They are nocturnal. That means they understand that their reality, the power, the glory, the essence of their reality is animated when they're in the dark. So when the cockrot lives in the dark, you will hardly outsmarted. Have you found snakes? Snakes hide in rough areas, tight corners, and bushy environments because they understand that based on their nature, based on who they are, their environment is an advantage. So there is a way stakes leave. Snakes don't live like cockroaches, and cockroaches don't live like egos. Even if the truth too, they can't. They would rather make themselves to be disadvantage. So if you will live as one born of God and manifest the glory and the power of God, there is a prescribed code for your existence, and so quickly I want to show you how those who are born of God live. Listen, a time has come when our existence has to become a wonder. I'm telling you, if it doesn't become a wonder, we will be victims gratus of war and political help alone, cancerfie. Go and read about the ely Church. I know God can use anything and anybody to deliver his people, but his people first, or all must live as his people. Otherwise before help comes to mede. There is a way to live, and many of us must live like that. Do you know why most some of us have become victims because very few are living like that, And so because we don't have a quorum of many who live like that, the wickness is not complete, and so. They isolate the you who are living like that and victimize them. But the time has come. Were beyond the puppets. Every church member is a son of God. He manifest as a child of God, so that you don't know. You know, when they came to arrest Jesus, they need that design because everybody was like Christ. You couldn't enter the camp and said this is he. Any one you saw was like him. They were all living in that order. They were all living in that dimension. So it was difficult for anyone to be vulnerable. That time has come again that all of us we function as people born of God, as children of the most High God. How do some people live? I give you seven ways? Number one, they live above seeing. I'm showing you the things that if we don't do as the people, some of us who become victims. You know that I heritances that are only activated when it becomes the reality of the body. There are dimensions that you only see when setting in when certain operations become the reality of the body. If the body does not embrace it, there are things that cannot happen. For instance, no matter how powerful you as an individual today, there is still a level of warfare, you will be a victim because there are certain protections that come to the church when we are united. And so when you see individuals isolated and kill it's not because they are weak, it's because the Church has not entuseting dimensions. There is a dimension of unity that if the church enters, there is a protected layer that will come upon the church. Because Jesus set a house divided against itself can stand no matter the. Warriors that are in that house. So there is a protected layer that the church. We only enjoy when the church becomes united. In the same way, there are dimensions who will enjoy and we called see seeing this generation where we are devil courting and managing and panetating, seeing and accommodating, saying we will make ourselves vulnerable. Do you know in certain quarters of the body of Christ today they say, it doesn't matter what you do with your body. That is your study that is saved. And a large number of Christians today are living in sin, and they having. Justification for it. They say, righteous les, it's your nature. It has nothing to do with what you do, my God. And so seeing has become part of our reality. Doctrines have been created to accommodate scene. So when you see certain things happen to the Body of Christ, before you say God, we are you ask God, what are the Christians doing? And who are they? Until we come into our full reality, there are certain dimensions that will be withheld. And one of the dimensions that we will see is the dimension of overcoming the world. But for us to see that dimension, we must know that we are born of God, and truly we are born of God. We must leave above scene. At least let us call seeing seeing and condemn it. It is taken too much from us when we are accommodat scene, When we clear dog things to accommodat scene, where will become casualties of war. This is why those who are born of God have been treated like animals because there is this scene in the camp. Go read about the children of Israel. This red defeated Jericho. And suddenly a tininess of god Ai wanted to destroy them because one. Man brought sin into the camp. People who are born. Of God, who become victim unless all of us agree that scene is seen. The Bible said in one John three nine, whosoever is born of God does not commit See he said, for his seed remainute in him, and he cannot sing because he's born of God. Now this is this spiritual aspect, your soul, your spirit is sealed by the Holy Spirit. Efficients one thirteen confirms this that when you were born of God, the Holy Spirit sealed your spirit from corruption. But it doesn't stop there. You now go to Vest ten and not sayingly to children. Don't let anybody deceive you him that do it. Righteousness is righteous, evenness is righteous. So it begins first of all with the spirit that the Holy Gods are circumcised, has preserved and protected. But God expects it to become your lifestyle. So those who are born again must make up their mind and leave righteous. We must know that we are expected to leave above, saying in First John five eighteen, he said, we. Know that who survive is born of God. Seeing it not for he that is. Begotten of God keep pet himself. He keep pet himself. He said that the wicked one touch him. Not so if we don't stop, see, we will not be able to keep ourselves from the wicked one touching us. The wicked one will be able to touch us when we are commodied. See it is here that is born of God does not see. He keep at himself, and then the wicked one does not touching. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying those who have been attacked as seeing us. I am saying that we have given accommodation to sein still in the body, and so there are things that we are vulnerable to. It time has come when people of righteousness must cry against seeing. If we will cry against seeing, you will see the level of supernatural dimensions that will be manifested among us. People will by locate naturally when they are caught, then we bilocate. You resist strange things. See, if you read the Bible, you see terrible things in righteousness. Do you know that the constellations fight to defend the body. When the body went to war, the Bible said the stars. Far from their courses. That means even the constellation can fight with us. Do you know that angels have thrown stones to fight for. The charge In the Bible, anything can become a weapon. But why is the wicked unable to touch us? The generations rise and say no to see this must become the day of the Puritans. This generation. One thing we must advocate for is that the rise of the Puritans must begin now. Not that we have Christians who are importing us of power and they are accommodating iniquity and betraying the body. We have pasted us who are accommodating iniquity and betraying the body. We have businessmen who are accommodating iniquity and betraying the body. And nobody can stand and say, rest all. This is why you discover that it looks as if we, who should be a wonder we are wondering why we are where we are. The generation was rise number two. How do those who are born of God leave? They don't just live above saying they make practice of righteousness, They practice it. They practice righteousness is thought and righteousness is practiced. We practice righteousness. That's how we leave. We make it a practice. In one two twenty nine, the Bible said, if you know that it is righteous, they say, you know that everyone that do it righteousness is born of him. We do it. We do righteousness, We teach righteousness, we practice righteousness. These are some of the insurance systems that God has given us as the body of Christ. He said, w received the bundance of grace, and the gift of righteousness is said, they raiin in life. But you see that gift must be practiced. If we don't practice righteousness, you will be amazed. See, there is too much iniquity in the camp. People are questioning God. Everywhere? Is God real God? Where are you? God is able to defend his name and intervention will soon come. But listen, we must do homekeeping. We must redress the camp. We must redress the camp for the visitation that we are praying for. We must redress the camp for the visitation that we aspect. I love the Christianity in the North and I wish every part of Nigeria will have this quantity of Christianity. You know, somehow persecution makes you guys, stay on your toe and you pursue God genuinely. I wish every other part of this country or practice what you practice. You will be shocked the way the body of Christ will be so impregnable to all the oppositions of Satan. What is so unfortunate? It's so unfortunate. Why we cry? We must do homekeeping? Number three, we must love and love genuinely. This is a generation where competition has taken over. If you see the hat trade that we have for one another, see as you see that here somebody is hoping for you to die. And if you don't die, if you make a mistake, maybe you are mischarged. They didn't get your intention, but they persive. If that's a mistake, No, what did we call you? You know where all of them will start from is to destroy your image in a public space where you can't recover, even if message says, no, we love it when we fall, we love it when we are destroyed. And you are wondering, why can't certain powers come to the church? Oh we host it. Isn't a man that is hoping for everybody who. Is not in agreement with him to be destroyed. That God will give that power. Imagine if we have a life here today, who can stand. Publicly and said before God, do my standard shall be no ready? Imagine if we had such powers today? Do you know what that power will be meant for? One tad of the truth will die of courses because if you dare that man, they will never forgive you. This is why we are where we are. There's no lave those who are born of God. We live in law. See, you can't err. My job is to reach out to you so that you don't end up. In the pit. And even when you don't get me, I pray for you. What do I gain if one soldier is destroyed? Oh? My God? When I see the way we love Tiarina, ourselves are part and I ask questions these people we are talking about, have you caught them? Have you caught somebody who know them? Have you taken this matter to the old I'm not saying we should come on this error. That's why I began by saying, let's cause scene. See but NISSI, when somebody force, how dare you talk to that person or about that. Person when we are not nailed down for that person. So when you say things are happening before we begin to challenge God, Let's check ourselves. People enjoy to hear stories of failure much more than the gospel. So minutes that's gather and they discuss for three hours about somebody who is failing and why you will continue to fail? And they laugh and they're excited about it. Mean, why this should be gate keepers men that carry authority that when two of them speak, the whole regions will be protected. But you wonder why we are where we are. There is no love in the camp. The Bible said in First John, forceable be loved. Let us love one another, they say, for love is of God, and everyone that loveth is born of God. And know what God. One of the signs that we are born of God is that we love. One of the signs that we know God is that we love. See. I say a lot of prayer. Oh, this is a generation we are. Prayer has become drama. It's like the rights of the Pharisees have returned to this generation. Prayer. I save more about drama now than prayer itself. But ask yourself what are the prayers producing? Because the prayers will be powerless if the heart is wrong. If we can love ourselves. What prayer we praying. This is why you see things happen and it looks like see people are watching in this country, people are praying, people are fascy. But until these things are put in place, we will exert a lot of spiritu our energy and have need to and know return. Love must be emphasized again. Can you love somebody out of hell? Can you love somebody out of failure? Can you love somebody out of error? Can you love. Somebody until his terms and he's restored? Or you will be part of those who's torn people to death. Those who are born of God, who carry Heaven on earth, their code of life is love, Their code of life is righteousness. And number three, these people relieve an obedient life to the Holy Spirit. The time has come for every one of us to know the Holy Spirit personally. As a guide. He said, As many as are lead by the spirit of God, He said, they are Romans eight fourteen. They are the sons of God. As many as are lead, as many as are lead. See, the time has come where you text steps because you head, you move because you heard. It's not a season where emotions dictate for you. See, it has become so sensitive that people going to the market. Sometimes you have to be led before making friends. You have to be led before you see somebody I'm bringing to your house and calling your brother. You have to be led. I've seen wickedness on it in recent times. I didn't believe humanity had that propensity. I watch a video three days ago and I said, thank. God, I'm not God. Oh my Jesus. I saw one person killed nine people in less than five minutes. One person carried something like an iron and was hitting people on the head in less than five minutes. One person killed nine people. Can evenly a lie on? Can achieve that fit? A lion that eats to eat key to eat? This one's kill and through away. You are living in that kind of ward. You will meet a stranger on the road and tomorrow he's your friend. You are living in that kind of world. You want to enter business with somebody and you don't hear the Holy Spirit. You are living in this kind of evil generation, and you are wondering about with not being led. You said the step of the righteous, they are ordered by the law. Listen, build your sensitivity. Those who are born of God, they are led of the spirit. That generation of traveling and calling one in prayer from me is over. Before you step out, check, I'm telling you check. Check. Check, even if it's a thirteen minutes Johnny. Check. They are wicked men setting and bushes everywhere. Check before you bring some to your house. Check in three months, your husband might be coming for aniceto because you brought a jazebel to your house. Before you bring somebody to your house, leave your children. Check before you allow your driver carry your children to school without anybody following. Check. A driver in mccaudy took four children of one family that he was going to school. Cares what happened is so damn for peanut when they discovered after a few days they were botchered. You can't leave off God now, not in this generation. Check those who are born of God, they are led of this village. Don't let emotion move. You see that at times when God leads you, even those who are your friends will be affected. I was supposed to go for. A meeting in this entry, paid to go, and God said don't move. I called the brother and said, sorry, this is what God says, I shouldn't come. I can't call. He was offended. I didn't go, you would die. People will say, oh, this great voice, we have lost him two weeks. Everybody forgets your destinutes be handed others a mother, I didn't go. This is not wickedness. This is called security strategy, preservation. There are times when God sends you there to fight. There are other times God we draws you from there. He's the one who controls the alchordy. Those who are born of God, they are lad of God. Build your sensitivity. If worship, beauty on desern men, worship, if prayer, beauty or desern men pray, if meditation beauty or decern men med. Because there are thoses who didn't leave to regret, you must be led. You must be led. You must be led. Number four. Those who are born of God, they walk in the light. That means scripture is their philosophy. First Tom One seven, efficients five eight. First Salonians five five. They are people of light. And first a Saloniums. Five five is saying you are the children of the light. We were born of light, and we are children of the light. Efficients five eight. The Bible said you were sometimes darkness. He said, but now you are the light of the world. Walk as children of light. See there are many philosophies online. There are many ideologists on the internet. Don't be swayed by them. Anything you want to do, check skip chures. Let them be a business. In the Bible. This is how you live as an overcomer. It's not a cliche. It has protocols. It's a reality, but it has protocols. See, there are many people today who take decisions. There is no scripture or business for the decision. They heard somebody share a story, they heard another person say something, and they're just wrong with. It, as if their lives are worthless. As I am like this only step I take. There are two, three, four or five scriptures that I am convinced on their interpretation that determines it. Everyone of us can become invincible. But we must apply the protocol, reject seeing, practice righteousness, work in love, be led by this vilit, and live by the light of the scripture. We are not vulnerable, sir, We are not victims. We are just violating couts of conduct. There are calls, there are calls. Let it not look as if our God has neglected us. The people know we have the God. They know. When they took the act of the Covenant. I'm placed in the temple of that God. When God's fought, they knew which one was through God. They know, but we have not proven that we are actually the children of this God. See when say these things, I'm telling you I'm lending them, and God put it in my heart to tell you, see, some of us will rise. It will not just be we have messages for preach in charge. You will enter certain places because you came there, where comes we fail strategies we paid. You think these people run empty. They have suss that tell them when to strike. The don does have gods. They have sorcerers. When they go out there comes up with the moon, that comes up with the stars. That's what is going on. A time we come when two of us with entire terranty, when they come out, they'll discover their strategy is wrong. Then we run into their death. And when it happens repeatedly, the terror, we turn back what they want to project with back hire on them. I'm telling you that we crows. Then we cook their weapons. The weapons we not walk. You don't know some of you will stann that we shoot, they will enter. I'm telling you then we know that it's the battle of gods. Things will begin to go wrong with them. Suddenly they are funding, will be caught off. Certainly, their manipulation we fail. You know, when these things happen. They hide behind politics, hide behind government, what the stories they tell. They will be exposed, it will become clear. And then suddenly help will come from everywhere. They won't be able to understand. It will be like they are on every side. But there's a protocol. There's a protocol. This is how God has fought for his people from time in memorial. We walk in the light because we are the children of the light. We are the children of the Light. And finally, those who are born of God, they guard themselves from the evoa. They guard themselves. First by living holy, secondly by living with wisdom. The Bible says we should be as wise as serpents, and we should be as. Humble as doves. Our zeal is coordinated, our actions are programmed. You must be systematic and tonic. Don't expose yourself. We must be guarded by codes of wisdom because we have the mind of Christ, and so we judge our things, We charge our things. You must have strategic approach to life. From networks of friends to all. That life style. Some people don't have wisdom. Their whole life is on the internet. There are people today that you can tell the color of the world their bedroom on the internet. You can drop their whole house online. Because everything is in the public, all their movements are predictable. This is not the time to live like that. Everything they have is in public. There gosea You don't live like that. Strategic living. Everything you push out there, you have the purpose. You want to achieve something. If I have to do a podcast, there is an intention behind it. If I have to show you where I'm going to, there's an intention behind it. If I have to show you what I have, there's an intention behind it. It's a time of strategic living. This is why you have to deploy the mind of Christ. Don't be foolish. I have calls that regulatory. For example, as I am now, you can't just invite me and say my bed day is tomorrow, I'm not coming, don't attend mine. Oh you don't care what we are saying. Hell, people say they're doing bad days in their parlor and ask strangers are invited, and some people are recording the house says bad day. The people I go for their bird day, they come for mine. They are handful because I'm not out here to celebrate. I mean, man the mission. They are people that sometimes in the day they spend twenty thousand making calls. Tell if people have paything that they ask them for. I want what's going on in this war or strategy we have? People's stress code is a message. Handshake is a message. How people look at you. It's a message this world you are going to live and be taking on our words. No, sir, you must function with wisdom. If you don't have it, pray for it, start it to learn it, follow those who have it and copy from them. There is a code between those who are bond of God function. I know when I was calling for this meeting, Are you were expecting this by by fire, prayer, prayer, prayer or cassa? You are being praying to learn wistm Do you know they have people today? If they're in trouble and they screw through that their phone book that they end they make twenty thirty costs every day. They don't have one person to call to help them. When there's piritu are trouble financial trouble. They don't have anybody on that phone book that they will rest and they're making casts. Some people that they are page that they sit on from money to night or plood the pictures of their new dress Aye lashes. Sure, what if they have a problem and they post it on that page? Nobody will help. In the world like this. This is a word when if you say S or S twenty people should lose me because of how you live your life, even if it's midnight. There are people who should be willing to stand up and go out of their way until you receive intervention. This is the time we are living in. There should be a season where if you have luck, it shouldn't take you thirteen minutes for help to call. Because of investment. The relationship is investment unless you are partying yourself on the gospel. Friendship is no longer I like you. I like you has killed some people. Be wise? Should I stop here? We have borne off God. We must understand how gods leave so that we can release the powers of divinity. We have a code, we have a way of life. Now. When these people are persecuted, what do they do? This is where a round up When they are persecuted. Number one, they rejoice. You know why, because they tell the enemy you can't terrorize. This battery is a battle of propaganda. You know what the enemy wants to do. He wants to show you terror so that before he comes you are broken, so that when you hear his name, you tremble, and then that will help him save his assinus and defeat even without fighting for them. This is why for those of us who are born of God, we tell the enemy, you can't break our pities. So in the face of persecution, we don't hide. We rejoice. That's why I was so blessed when I walked in. Here are you? People are shouting with joy? See the enemy are pained. They are pain and your offender that you are calm? Why you are not hiding. See if I didn't come here, I would know. In my head, I was thinking the streets empty. In my head, I was thinking, people aren't hiding. I thought some of you will come here. He jab even afraid of dressing well. But when I came and I saw people, come on, come on, come on, come on, shine. You can't cracked our spirits. See what the Bible's head. In Act five forty one, and they beat the disciples of Jesus. The Bible said they departed from the presence. Of the council rejoicing. You know, rejoice when you are beating, unless you are making a statement. You are making a statement that you can be broken. Those who you killed, they are called Matthias. We trust God for intervention until tomorrow. We do, but in case. Anyone falls, we know he failed, sending us a message that don't back down. Don't back down, don't back down, don't back down. That's the message they send to us. And that's why those of us who are leaving we live today with the consciousness of martidom post. That I die daily. You can't kill it that man. You tell the enemy you can't break my spirit. If you like, put all the videos on the internet, if you like, show all the guns, show all the rifles, show up the immunation. The charge of Jesus is matching on You'll think when we leave the Nord, No, sir, we are not living the North. Ten tomorrow missionaries as they come into the North, because their charges matching all, we are not backing down. We will remain here. That's the spirit. Oh my God, they're dressing from Israel. When they attack them, they stand their ground. They tell the enemy you can't break us. I listened to the Prime Minister. He was talking at the United Nations. You know what he said. He said, we are the eternal people. He said, many kingdoms are photos. They have perished. We have remained. We will not finish, We will not break. We were not backed down. Our spirits on fire. Well continue the ball. It's any choice in the first of persecution. Don't find yourself terrorized, afraid to ron Listen, listen. If I'm caught today, I may cry, I may be afraid, but you see, it doesn't stop the church from moving on. It doesn't stop the people who fail. Even their fall was a testimony. If we cry and we back down to terror with disappointed that the adad to have been in there where we're stanned until intervention comes. Until intervention comes, we will stand. Don't let anything break your spirit force it. For me to die is gain, for me to leave, it is christ So everyone is an advantage. Refuse to be broken. I'm so happy that those of you in the Nords, you are even more on fire than most of us in the Middle in the worst. I mean the is. If you don't know what pains these people. They are pained that you people are not run in a way. You know what they expect. They expect that they will be grossed. My grashoal let it be on the news that two thousand people, twenty thousand people have carried their bags. They are running away from canoe. When they say you remain, when they say you preaching, when they say you conducting programs, they are wandering. Are these people crazy? We are crazy for Christ. We are mad for our God. We are mad for our God. That's why we came to encourage you. Four years ago I went to preach in Medugurrie. They were shocked. They say you came. We didn't expect you to come. I say, why won't I come? If you are living here for Christ? It's in me that is visiting that won't come. God forbides where we go everywhere that is terot, that there is terror because we tell the enemy you can't break Oura's fetes. I've been to Pakistan to preach. Two weeks ago I was in Saudi Arabia. We will keep going. I came to encourage you. Don't back down. When anyone falls, celebrating, and let's give them names. They are warriors of Christ. They can't land warriors. Let's celebrate those too, fair, don't project it in fear. Oh another one has been killed, and no, no, no, that's not the statement. And not that warrior has witnessed for Christ. Another one has told for Christ. It's a proof that. We believe in truth. We don't give people to believe in what we believe, but we don't back down when we are killed. We believe what we believe beyond death. The Bible say, rejoice when men as a due to you for the sake of Christ the joys. That's what you do. That's the first thing you do in crisis. That's the first thing you do in persecution. And I'm so excited that you are doing it so well. You're doing it so well. We're doing it somewhere. I almost advised my brother to postpone this meeting. But when I discovered himself was born and brought up in Canoe, and he has been part of the persecution all his life, and he has fought for this persecution, fought against it talk his life, I knew a warrior was matching and so we came to stand with you. In the name of Jesus. Your testimony will creep put the enemy. The time of the is than to send to you. You are sending it. Back with your actions. Can you imagine the number of people that came out for this meeting? How did you there come out? Why were you not afraid? It means that says plead it at work in you. No, no, no, this is not number There's a spirit at work in you and in the name of Jesus. Very soon then we see the vengeance of that spirit. Number two. Please sit down for a moment when you are persecuted. Now, don't get me wrong. I will show you about intervention and judgment. But there are protocols. The first thing is to rejoice. The second thing is to endure, even when you are almost breaking. Tell yourself, I won't break. Tell yourself, I won't back down. I won't let the enemy see my tears. They are not worth my tears. I won't gratify your wickedness by crying. I always turned my God. This is where Endil has called me. See the way the past the Bible puts it in second well, he say yeah, and all that we live godly in Christ, shall suffer persecution. But investirator to twenty He say, if when you do well, you suffer, He said, take it patiently and accept it. Where you are suffering for Christ, where you are suffering for truth. Peter said, turn your ground. They need to let They need to know that your resolved is stronger than their evil. They need to know it. Let it be a message. Let it be a message, because the whole concept of terrorism is to true wickedness. And propaganda create fear so that power is willingly handed to the wicked. But when you stand your ground, a point will come. Then we know you are not a pree. They will become afraid what it is that power si. And this is my prayer for. The church in the North, that men that will rejoice in persecution until their enemies intimidated, knowing fully whether they cannot be broken, Men that will stand. Their ground and not back down. Number three, when you are persecuted, don't keep quiet, continue preaching, continue the continue in declaring Christ as Lord. That's what they hate. They hate the fact that you are propagating Christ as Lord. They read, but to is the buttle of beliefs and convictions they want to stop you. When they persecuted they ly child, They say, never preaching that name again. Why they're persecuting you is because you're a Christian. It's because you represent Christ. And so when they want to shut you up, don't keep quiet. See this is a season where every body should become a preacher. Preach on your platform, pray everywhere you go, stand for Jesus. This is what torments the enemy. And this is scriptural in Act four eighteen to twenty, when they caught them and were trying to intimidate them, you know what they said. They said, we cannot both speak what we have seen and heard. We cannot but speak. That's what they apostles told this and Henry. If it is those this thing we are saying, we will never stop it. We cannot but preach what we have seen and heard. I have seen the love of God, I have touched the messy of God. I cannot go preaching. In the early charge. They threw them into arenas, white beasts bought them apart. They continued preaching. I read the story of a woman called Perpetual and has slaved here Felicity. She was pregnant. They kept her until she gave bet. The next day after I bet a woman that just gave bead. Took them to the arena and brought the live out to theater, and they gave them options whether they would deny Jesus and keep quiet or continue in the face of death. They said they will never change their lives. They arrested Polica, the disciple of John the Beloved. I've eighty two, he said, how can I deny him all my life? I've known him? What would I if I deny him? What is life? He tormented the Tormentos that even when they evoked terror, they didn't keep quiet. They couldn't kill their conviction. He destroyed the Tormentor because they kept preaching even on to the death. One prayer I pray to the Lord. I've not been there, so I don't know what I'll do. But one prayer I pray to the Lord is if I will. End up as a mattire, even at the last moment, give me strength to stand for you. This is all the gods came here. The Child didn't fly on beds of ruses. We came through divers persecutions. But the church kept matching on preach. It declare Christ. Speak the values of the kingdom. Don't cower. Terah wants you to shut up, but to refuse to be quiet. Speak the truth and continue to speak it. Number four, Commit your prayers to God, who vindicates and who judges, because we will not endear forever. A time comes when we cried to our God. The Bible say, Oh Lord, to whom belonged judgment, vengeance, It says, show thyself. We have come to that point. Where we are crying, Oh Lord, to whom belonget vengeance, Show thyself. We have been bowed, we have preached, we haven't dealed. But this is the time for intervention. All kinds of intervention possible, we are open to receiving them. Intervention must come now. In sometty one, verse five, the Bible told us what Jesus said, and he intellcted it on. The cross into thy hands. I commend my spirit. So we commit ourselves to God, not just to protect, but to rot vengeance upon the weacked. Because Romans twelfth nineteen, God said, vengeance is mine. The time has come where the wicked must pay for their wicked test. The time has come where the moderer must taste of the corp of Mother, the blood of Mother. The time has come where the teeth must pay seven forward. This is why this is no longer the time to be quiet. We cry and speak truth to power because there must be a change. This is the hour. If the church is timid at this time, the church will be marginalized. And God is raising voices people who know how to cry to the heavens, both as congregations as an individuals, for God to stretch forward his hand of churchmen, because wickedness cannot continue forever. So if you are here now and you are saying, oh, let's let's let's forgive them. We forgive them, but they must stop. We don't hold it against them, but they must stop. So let's read someone go on so that I will stop my preaching here and will give room to prayer. Can we have some one on? No. From verse one to eleven, this is not me talking. I forgive them. Hold not thy peace, Oh God of my praise. I will read it, and we will read it because you are the ones say they're not. You are the first witness. Hold not thy peace, O, God of my praise. I will read it as a level that all of us who read it, and when we are reading it, we have prophesied it. He said, for the amount of the wicked, and for the amount of the deceitful, I open against me. They have foken against me with lying tongue. He said, they compassed me about with words of hatred, and fought against me without a cause verse five. Except for my love. They are by adversaries. But I give myself onto prayer. What is the prayer? Verse six? He said, they have rew that. Let's read Verse five. He said, they have rewarded me evil for good. You are pretty, you have breath messy. You have shown generosity and charity for your good. They have rewarded you for evil and hatred for your love that seeks, he says, Sell set down, prayer have started. You know the first time we were reporting. Now this is prayer. He says, set down a wicked man over him. Let's set and stand at his right hand. The same set and they are savvy. Set down, with the commanded to stand at their right hand. He said, when he shall be George, let him be condemned. And he said, let this prayer become a sin, even if they repent, even if they change their minds. The evil they have better treated. Let it turn their prayers to an abomination. He said, letice there be few. Let some of them wake up and let the song smite them. Let them wake up and let the head the breath become poison. Let me confusion hit their camp. Let them shoot themselves when they use their weapon, let it missfire and kill them. It's a letice therese bef you, and let another man. Take his office. Prayer has not finished. Let his children be fat and this let his wives be a widow. Prayer has not finished. It is let his children be continually vacabon and bag. Is that let them seek their prayer out of them. That's a let places. Prayer has not finished. Is that let the ex toch on and catch all that they are saved their money, We disappear their wealth to be transferred to the righteous. It's a let strangers by his level. Prayer has not finished. Next verse, it's to let them belong to extend messy onto them, even though someone to show them messy. Let it become jorgement. Let nobody show them messy. Is a ei. Let that be any to favor his fact unless children. That means in all their generations that would be helpless that we so far approach. He said, let this prosperity be caught off, and let the generation following their name be blotted out. May their memories not be remembered, May their linear be are brogeted, may be delted from the memory of man. In the name of Jesus Christ. Are you ready to pray? It's trying to release judgment. Are you ready? See I don't put my trust in man. I'm not the tribe that is trusting man. God can use men, God can use animals. But I go straight to God because I know. Men can become politicians. They can politicize things. They can cause confusion. If any man wants to come, let it come. But we will trust in the name of the Lord, our God. He can move in jail. They can move men. They can move nations. They can move animals. They can provoke natural disaster where they live. They can be swaddled up. The head can open his mouth and swaddle them. He can use anything. Because is the one that judgment belongs to. They say, Oh God, to whom belonging vengeance? He says, show thyself, Show thyself now project the scripture from verse one. Let's read it together. I want you to declare it. Declare it with vengeance, because this. Is the hour of judgment. One to do it. Let's begain or not thy peace or God of my praise. For the mouth of the weak heed and the mouth of the deciful are open against me. They are spoken against me with a lying tone. They can pass me about also with wars of hatred, and fought against me without a cause for my law. They are my adversaries. But I give myself onto prayer, and they have rewarded me evil for good and hatred for my love. The six sat down a wicked man over them. Let's saturn stand at his right hand. When I shap be charged, let him be condemned. Let this prayer become a scene. Let these days be few. Let take his office, Let his children the fatallest, let his wife be a widow. That is, children, they continually vagatons and beg Let them sit their prayer also as of their desolate places. Let the estos on us cut all that they heard, and let strangers. Spoil his labor. Let there be none to extend messy onto him, neither let there be any favor to his fatherless children. That is prosperity be caught of in a generation. Follow it. Let your names be blotted down, left your voice. And cry, oh, oh, why not go back? Worry Mother God, in the name of Jesus, not one hair of your head we fall to the ground. The hand of godess upon you for preservation, and your gates are continually open for blessings. All the days of your life you will flourish. For yours shall be as the sedar in the name of Jesus Christ. As I round them. If you are here tonight and you are not surrender to Jesus, please live to your right. It will be a big risk for you to leave amongst us and around us now and not completely surrender. If you are doing that, lift your right hand, put your left hand or your chest. Pray this prayer with me quickly. Dear heavenly Father. I believe with all my heart that Jesus is your son. I confess with my mouth that this saved Jesus, who died, was buried and rose on the third day, is my Lord and my Savior. I received eternal life into my spirit. I am born again. Thank you Father for receiving me in Jesus name, I have declared, made the Lord keep you from falling, and made the Lord cause his face to shine upon him in Jesus' mighty name. Please be encouraged. We see your plight the best we can wait to pray for you. Myself and my brother Apostle, we talk about these things from time to time. I possible believe so much in the body of Christ and in the potential that God has for his children. And he is utterly against the attack and the wickedness of Christians, and he has declared and advocated against it. But again he also advocates that the heritage of the Church and of the nation Nigeria would also not be lost in the course of fighting for deliverance. It's important to understand the balance that why we are fighting for our preservation. We don't want to lose our heritage. And so please don't be confused by people who are a zilious and emotional who just react unnecessarily without hearing. The whole story. We stand against the persecution of Christians in the North. We stand against every wickedness gone to the children of God, and we also advocate for deliverance for God, for God's people and for the nation. That's why we are here putting this conference together. He took a lot of courage and a lot of resources to be here now. So what we do is not just talking on the internet. These are people who have boots on ground, So it's not about political correctness. We are people who love the Church and we stand with the Church in the North, and he has come here today to demonstrate that love, that loyalty to the Church. This has been his position from time immemorial. It was raised from the North. He has lived in the North, he has lived through the persecution, and so his intention must not be misconstrued in any context. This is a man that loves the Church and loves his nation, and he has always advocated against the wickedness on the Church and on the nation of Nigeria. But we also believe that we have enormous resources that should not be lost in the process. So while we trust God for help and we are open for help from any quarter, we are also wise enough to advocate that there's preservation for the heritage that God has given. Us as the people. If that is misconstrued then is unfortunate. But the intention local intention of every genuine person must not be misunderstood, and then people are used as cape goods when all of us should be fighting against the corporate attack on the body of Christ. We are together with you in the North and will continue to pray with you and stand with your Godness.
