Yeah m hm, A play of changions with the fold and transformation by the principles of God's kingdom. Hallelujah. Your name is the highest. Your name is the greatest. Your name stands above all, above all the loads and the mean of all power and positions. Your name stands above all. Your name is the highest. Your name is the greatest. Your name stands upon. Your name name. It's at your life. Father. We pray that you will bless our hearts. We pray that this session will be life transforming to you be all the glory in Jesus' matchless name. We pray. We do this every year. Like the coordinator said in his speech, it is not a ritual. It's a commitment to raise people by this structured mentorship so that they become a people who are vibrant, people who are powerful, the people who are enlightened, anointed, visionary, and I believe in the power of impact and impact is one person, one life at a time. Allelujah. As I always do, I want to give us a This is to everyone, but particularly to a graduating students, and the charge for this time will come as an instruction. I want to give us four instructions and then we'll pray and go straight into the importation. But generally speaking, as a background, the School of Ministry operates a two fold approach. Number one, we use the approach of structured mentorship. Our programs running through an approximate period of six months that captures topics or models that are spread across five courses nomatology, leadership, ministry, personal transformation, and finance. And we found this to be a winning model as it's helped to capture the students and to build them holistically, cutting across the relevant areas of life, if as may be required. And then the second part is the importation. We believe in the power of importation, and that's what you are about to witness shortly. The structured mentorship plus the importation we believe will produce a champion, a wholesome witness. You believe that about yourself? Say amen? Right? So as always four instructions. Very quickly, he said, My son, pays attention to my words. Incline your ears to my sayings, do not let them depart from out of your mouth, keep them in the midst of your heart. In this kingdom we survive through the Excellency of the words that we hear and receive Matthew four and verse four. It says man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds the proceeding word is a strategy for survival. It doesn't just give you enlightenment. It is the secret of remaining. I'll give you four instructions that I want to charge you as you receive this importation. This will help you to sustain that fire. This will help you to keep going decades after now. The path of the just, the Bible says, is like the shining light that shines ever brighter. But they're are secrets that keep that light and that fire burning. Instruction number one. If you desire to continue your desire to last, you must give yourself consistently and continually to prayer. Write that down. As simple as this sounds, neglecting and violating this instruction can cost you the efficiency of your destiny. Give yourself consistently and continually to prayer, asks Chapter six and verse four. But we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the world. Look eighteen and verse one. He speak a parable to the end that men ought always to pray and not to faint. First, the Salonians five seventeen, it says, pray ever more, or pray without season. The prayer ministry is at the fabrik of the believer's efficiency. Every religion, regardless what deity they believe, there is a pivotal point to every religion, and it is prayer. It seems to me like all religions agree that prayer is the connection point between the human and the divine, regardless what they call the divine, there is one thing that they all agree to that without that system of consistent prayer, an individual cannot evolve to become a spiritual man. And so you must commit yourself to prayer. You have been taught extensively in this house that the primary assignment of prayer, and this is to everyone, but I want the graduating students, so please listen to me. The primary assignment of prayer is for your growth and your transformation. Look chapter nine and verse twenty nine. And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment became white and glistering. Allelujah. When we pray, we grow. When we pray, we evolve. When we pray seriously, we become better versions of ourselves. Commit yourself to prayer as a lifestyle. I have taught you in this house, and you may want to make reference to my teaching. I taught it on this very old equipping the saints. You will want to listen again as to the systems by which believers grow. One of it is to systematize your prayer. Life. In the Bible had a time allotted for prayer. They called it the hour of prayer, the hour of prayer. Alleluyah. Paul and Silas went to pray at the hour of prayer. If you pray circumstantially, your prayer will not Your prayer life will not do you much. The key to prayer is consistency. Consistency. You don't pray when there's trouble alone. You don't pray when you have a reason to thank God alone. You must give yourself to prayer. Say in the name of Jesus, shouted like you believe. Saying the name of Jesus, I received grace to commit to prayer. Prayer is not for men of God. Prayer is not for women of God. Prayers not for those in trouble. Alleluyah. You must pray Jesus prayed the apostles prayed. Believer us are ought to pray. Prayer is one of the ways by which we make our requests known. The Bible says, to be anxious for nothing but in everything bad by prayer. By prayer, that is God's strategy. By prayer, he says, to make your supplications with thanksgiving, make your request known Mark eleven, twenty four. It says, what things soever ye desire when you pray. That's the strategy. Gain believe that thou receivest them, and thou shalt have them James five, verse thirteen. I believe, he says, is any man afflicted, let him pray, Let him pray. If any man afflicted, let him pray. Give yourself to prayer. Set aside time as a ritual, as a culture, build a habit. Let it become an addiction. Pray. You must pray, Allelujah. It is important that you pray. Show me a weak believer who commits to prayer. I show you a powerful believer evolving. Show me a believer who is held down by the grip of the flesh but will commit himself to pray. You a victorious spiritual man. Evolving. Prayer is not everything. But prayer is at the foundation of your becoming anything. And like I would say, where prayer is not the key, it becomes the hand that holds the key. The Bible says, in everything, there is no issue of your life where you should exempt from prayer. Prayer should capture every aspect of your life. Shout, I will pray. Like you are serious, say I will pray. Instruction number two, Commit yourself to learning the Word of God. Simple instructions. But again, disobedience to this instruction will be your partnership with failure. Commit yourself to learning the Word of God, to learning doctrine, to learning the mysteries of the kingdom. Commit yourself to learning the Word of God, doctrine, and the mysteries of the Kingdom. First Imoti four and verse thirteen. First Demoti four and verse thirteen. He says, till I come, give attendance to reading and to exhortation and to doctrine. Till I come while you are alone, while you are by yourself, while you are outside of my direct influence, it says, give attendance to reading. So this is what you do when you're alone. He said, till I come whenever I'm with you. I will teach you. I will mentor you what till I come until I show up physically. This should be your assignment. Give attendance to reading, give attendance to exhortation, give attendance to learning. The believer has a curriculum that you are mandated to cover. You don't. God did not give us the body to learn everything. God did not give us the body to learn every spiritual information. There is an exact body of truth that produces a spiritual man, produces a victorious man. This should be your limit in learning God and learning the ways of the Kingdom. Allelujah. There is a certain kind of knowledge that is called vain. It is vain because it has no application. It cannot produce victory in your life, nor does it profit you and God's program. Allelujah. And if you care, let me do a one minute crash course. I taught you six foundational truths that every believer must know. If you do not know these six foundational truths, these bodies of spiritual knowledge, you cannot be powerful. Number one, you must know God and his son Jesus Christ. Very simple, but this is profound. You must take the time to know God, God, can be known. The Bible is clear as to the fact that that God can be known. He wants to be known. Allelujah, Praise the name of the Lord. The Bible says, the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. He says, the knowledge of the Holy is understanding. The people that do know their God the Nearly eleven thirty two, they shall be strong, They shall do exploits John seventeen three. This is life everlasting. That they may know thee the only True God, and Jesus, whom thou hast sent. Paul said that I may know him. God can be known. Allelujah, Praise the name of the Lord. You may want to make reference to my teachings knowing God experientially and then the knowledge of the Holy. I think that's my most recent teaching about the knowledge of God. The knowledge of the Holy a very powerful teaching. There are things when you know about God, it gives you confidence anyway, very quickly. The second body of knowledge that you need to spend time learning. You must know yourself in light of who Christ is. I do not know any victorious person in the Kingdom who did not pay the price to learn who you are. As far as your heritage and your reality in Christ is concerned, your confidence will be derived not just from who God is, but who you have become in Christ. Someone say, in Christ, that's the key. In Christ, you can know yourself psychologically. You can know yourself in terms of your biological physiological composition. That is important, but not enough for you to become a victorious believer. In addition to knowing God and knowing Jesus Christ and We together, you must pay the price to know yourself. Listen. Especially because we live in a world that has a plethora of vistas by which you view a man's identity. For instance, social media has its way of seeing and interpreting men. Are we together? Yeah, your life, your current condition is a vista through which you can see yourself, the opinions of men, the context of society as it stands. So it's important that you must learn how to see yourself in Christ from the lens of God's word. Classically, believers are identified according to two formations. Number one, we are classified in Scripture according to our identification with Christ. So the Bible calls us joins heirs with Christ, Join heirs of God. The Bible calls us the vine, I mean the branches, while he is the vine. The Bible calls us the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. All of these are descriptions based on identification, but there is a classification that is based on function. So he calls us light, he calls us salt, he calls us kings, he calls us priests, he calls us ambassadors. Are we together? Yes, It's important that you explode through the lens of God's word who you are in Christ. It matters that you know who you are, so that you will have your audacity to tell the devil that description you are bringing is not who I am. Jesus said, who do men say that I the son of Man am? He never said I do not know who I am. In fact, he audaciously told the people, he says, before your father Abraham was I am? They took stones in anger. He called himself the son of God very boldly. Allelujah prays the name of the Lord. You need to know who you are. There are many things the Bible says you are. You must know it, and then you must believe it. You cannot be great not knowing who you are. It must be become more than a song. You know, most people sing the song I Know who I Am, but they don't know who they are. They're just reciting a song, a poem, a special number. You must take the time. Something happens to you when you know who you are. It doesn't bring pride, but it brings a settled confidence. If he calls you the righteousness of God in Christ, then it is true. If he calls you light, then you cannot be darkness. Away together, it says in this shall all the families of the earth be blessed. That means you can't think of yourself being a nuisance to anybody's destiny. You can't think of yourself being an inconvenience to someone. You are a plus, you are a multiplier. He called you the branch, meaning you should be fruitful. You must be fruitful. You carry that mentality ministry you will excel. You carry that mentality in business, you will excel. Fruitfulness should not be foreign to you. It's part of your build up. Are we together? There's no woman who gets pregnant and she's surprised. Built within her is the system to make it happen. Am I right on that? Yes, there's no human being who gets up and is working, and he's surprised. You saw as an auntie and sister who came here, you know, on the crouch. It is, it is. It is rather foreign because that's not her usual experience. Something happened and now she's in the process of recovering away together. But when you walk from your seat here, we don't clap for you. It's not a miracle. It was built with you. That's how victory should be. That's how dominion should be. You should not be surprised that you are victorious. It means something is wrong with your orientation. You should be grateful, but not surprise. He shall be like a tree that is planted. Allelujah. You know, God gave me a very powerful revelation earlier this year. I hope that I'll have the time to shate the man who was healed of blindness. I used to think Jesus to his eyes twice because he did not see men well. But the man was seeing men from two dimensions. He touched his eye and he saw men like tree. He was very accurate. But he saw from a dimension men were like trees. He said, he shall be like a tree. There was something about men he was seeing, but Jesus needed his eyes to be opened physically, So although that dimension was good, he touched them again so he could see men physically. It seemed like he was a mistake, but it was not. He saw men like trees. If you see men only as human bodies, there is a layer of possibilities. You have to see men, and the way you react to men will be according to the things you see. So he was showing that there is a dimension where you don't see men by the flesh, you see them as touching their spiritual composition. He said, I'm seeing you touch my eyes. You made me to see. Now I'm seeing men as trees. And he touched his eyes again, and he now saw them physically, and praying for you, May you see yourself beyond your biological composition. May you see yourself beyond being a Euroba person, beyond being an able person, beyond being a cartoona person. If you only see yourself as a homo sappien, or you see yourself as one who came from any geographic location, you would have defined yourself by the limitation that comes from that region. But the Bible says he that comment from above is above all, someone shout I am from above. Again, say I'm from above. Number three, very quickly, the third body of knowledge. I hope you are learning. Yes, these are just instructions I'm giving you tonight before we pray. So you must pay the price to know God. Number two, you must pay the price to know yourself in light of who Christ is. Number three you must learn the mysteries of the Kingdom. You must be pay the price to learn the mysteries of the Kingdom. Matthew thirteen and verse eleven. It has been given onto you to know the mysteries of the Kingdom. The mysteries of the Kingdom are the ladders that we hold onto to climb to realms of victory, dominion, excellence, and power. You don't climb on your own, No, you climb assisted by these mysteries. The Bible says that we have been called out of darkness into His light. I mean we've been called a chosen generation, a royal pursuit. That we should show forth the praises of Him who has called us out of darkness into his marvelous light. The body of knowledge allotted for your manifest injury. Line upon line, precept upon precept, you must pay the price to learn the ways of God. You've heard me teach it endlessly. What you know or what you don't know can define your being victorious. You can be in Christ, but this software called eternal life. The riches that are embedded in you are activated as knowledge is distilled in your spirit. You can be saved. But because you are bankrupt of knowledge, you may never manifest that zoway life in experience. It will just remain theory and saved and saved and born again, but you will never be able to come into the fullness of that life. And praying for you that in the name of Jesus, and that that will happen. Early, may you find and understand the mysteries of the Kingdom. There is what you need to know to prosper. There is what you need to know to remain in health. There is what you need to know to experience longevity. There is what you need to know to experience favor. There is what you need to know to activate the power of God at work in you. Allelujah. In a few minutes, you are about to receive an importation. As casual as it looks, there is a spiritual dynamic that is responsible for the arrival of the anointing, the maintenance of the anointing, and the increase of the anointing. You can wish it, you can claim it, but if you do not subscribe to that dynamic, you will not have It's as simple as that. It's on my learning. Now praise the name of the Lord. So my prayer for you is not just that you'll be knowledgeable, but that in the name of Jesus, you will come into a realm of mastery, mastery, mastery, in the name of Jesus Christ, where you will play life like a chess. You know how people play chess. You know you will win. You are not hoping, You are not wondering. You know you will win. When a woman goes to the kitchen to prepare her meal, she's not wondering. She's not wondering if she will cook. She knows she will cook. Just give her time for every time, no matter how long she stays in the kitchen, has stayed long in the kitchen, is not weakness. She's not wondering what to do. She's combining meticulously, and after a few hours she comes out with a meal that is someump shows. That's how you should be, should be able to program your possibilities, justify your days by betting results that are shocking first to yourself and to everyone around you. Some of you will be in ministry, some of you will be in business, some of you will be carreer people, some of you will be leaders. Let me tell you this, forget about the idea of luck in life. It is. It is a medio cast path to pay, take away lock and press into the realm of mastery. It will cost you more, but the results will be inestimable when you do find it. He said, they are live to those who find them, and health to their flesh. Pay the price to know the mysteries of the kingdom. If someone learning this is very, very important, you must understand number four. Now, let me try one or two more, and then we'll stop wherever we stop, because I'm just aggressing this statement just to help you. Buttrace on the issue of doctrine and the mysteries of the kingdom. Number four. You must understand your role in God's prophetic agenda. You must understand your role in God's prophetic agenda. Hebrews, chapter ten and verse seven. Low icme in the volume of the book, as it is written of me to do your will. Allelujah. In Luke chapter four, when you begin to read from verse sixteen downwards, the Bible says, he went to the temple, and as his custom was, he went to the synagogue, and it was given on to him the scroll of isaiahs He opened it and he found where it was written concerning him, and he began to recite Isaiah's prophetic world over him, the Besionic prophecy. The spirit of the Lord is upon me because he had anointed me, And the Bible says when he was done, he closed the book, and the eyes of all were fastened to him. Important to find what has been written concerning you. There's something written concerning your destiny. It is not God's responsibility to find it for you. He will guide you what you have to find it. Allelujah. I did find your word. I ate it. It was a joy and a rejoicing. I'm praying in the name of Jesus that a life of aimless pursuit, or emptiness or vain pursuit, maybe far from your life. You will work in the heart of your call the will of God for your life. You will not veer off and then after thirty years of wasted years, you now turn back and see that you were involved in something that was not part of your job description. For everyone here who came to celebrate with these graduating students, and to you the students yourself, I pray for your clarity of vision, clarity of purpose. Again, clarity of vision, clarity of purpose. In the name of Jesus, can I give you number five? Six? Well, you've tempted me to have gotten to face, so let me as well finish number five. You must understand man as the zenith of God's creation. You will fail woefully in life if you don't pay the price to understand this mysterious creature that God made called man. If you learn God, if you learn yourself, you must understand man. The Bible says, the heaven of heavens belong to the Lord, but the end had He given to the children of Man. It is important and imperative in manifesting your destiny that you understand men. You understand that the heart of man, for instance, is desperately wicked, meaning no body is bul to favor you. By default. You have to understand a superior body of light to command your own advantage. Men are selfish by default. Men are vulnerable by default. It's not unusual for people to promise you and fail. Your pain is as out of your ignorance. If you know that about men, you will not be surprised away together. It is only God, who is a friend, that sticks closer than a brother. But then when you also know that men can be helped by God, away together, it will help you to see that both you and those who look up to can be helped by God. Thotham became powerful because he prepared his way before the Lord. Usiah became mighty because he was marvelously helped of God. The Sami said, I will lift up my eyes onto the heels from whence comment my help, my help, not our help, my help, comment from the Lord. It is by God that we run through a troop. It is by our God that we can leap over a wall. When you know this about men, that all blessings come for instances. I've taught you from God through men to men. I hope you still remember that. Keep that as a rule of tom you forget that you will pay very huge price if live is to come through your life, to come from God through men, to men. If prophecy is going to manifest in your life and to come from God through men to men. He showed the revelation in heaven, but he told a man right, for these words are faithful and true. Allelujah, good measure, pressed down, shaken together running over shall men? Shall men? The same way Trouble comes from Satan through men to men. So the Bible says to be delivered from weacked and unreasonable men, for not all men have faith away together. Yes, there are many many people who know God, but they've not taken time to understand that this right here, ladies and gentlemen, is the world of men. Imagine, if you know this about men, you will understand the relational principles that help to bring men into prophecy. Imagine if Joseph was in the prison and his prayer point was that God should bind that cast Pharaoh, you see the kind of foolish prayer. I told you there are people who are gatekeepers. God himself respects their position. That's why he came and brought the dream that will salvage the entire globe. He did not bring it to Joseph because Joseph did not have the power of the influence or do anything about it. But he brought it to Pharaoh. How about the book at Nezza. When you understand this about men, that it will make sense a scripture that says, when the man's wayst pleases the Lord, he makes even his enemies to be at peace. There are men you cannot cast and bind. They occupy a position that is honored by God. And the way God gives you passages to give you favor with them. If someone learning praise the name of the Lord. When you notice that, you learn principles like the law of honor, you learn human relations principles, you learn the law of gratitude. These are the keys that help you to relate with men in your world, and it can work wonders wonders in your life. I hope someone is learning you hold onto this case, your life will become amazingly predictable. Amazingly predictable. The final body of knowledge. You must know Satan, your adversary. If you don't know Satan, you are still not done. You have to pay the price to know him. The Bible says, be sober. He says, be vigilant for your adversary. First re touch Apter five and verse eight. Your adversary, the devil, not your friend, not your ally. He's called your adversary, the devil. Like a roaring lion, he goes to and fro seeking whom he may divore. I assure you, through your lifetime the probability that he will collide with you at a point is one hundred percent. One day he will come around you, or come around your assignment, or come around those connected to you. And you must understand the ability or the dynamics of building received stands against him. Jesus says, Satan, comment to me, he will come as sickness. Don't wait until the day you are sick. He will come as the programmings of wicked men. He will come as demonic attacks. You must know how to build a system of defense using the world of God. Away together John ten ten the thief comment not but for to steal, to kill, and to destroy. It says, but I am come that he may have life, and have that life more abondantly, more abundantly. Jesus was rebuking the scribes and the Pharisees. He said, you are of your father, the devil, and his will you will do. Because he was a murderer. From the beginning, Satan does not only he's a killer. I'm not just talking of killing you physically. He brings to death everything alive. When it comes to your life, he will wreck your ministry. He will wreck your life, your business, your whole. And so the Bible tells us to put on the whole armor of God, that we might be able to resist the wilds of the enemy. And he begins to least them the breastplate of righteousness, the helmet of salvation, our shoe guarded with the message, the preparation of the Gospel of peace, the shield of faith, wherewith we will quench all the fiery that of the enemy. And he says, haven't done all to stand now? The believer who does not understand this will live on assumptions, and some of those assumptions will be costly assumptions. Is someone learning now prays the name of the Lord. The Bible says, they that be planted in the house of God, they shall flourish in the courts of our God. He says, in old age there will be fat and flourishing. One of the ways that Satan cuts away the life and the efficiency of people is to use offense to separate you from your house, your spiritual family, where your planting is. When he isolates you and you are, then he will strike you, and he will attack you. So the sam is said, how good and pleasant it is when brethren dwell together in unity? Some one thty three. It says, it is like the oil that comes upon the head of Aaron. The priest to his bed, to his skirt, his garment. He says, there the Lord hath commanded the blessing even life forevermore. There is life when believers God together, where there is death. When you are in isolation, are we together? It's someone learning now. So when you say you are a mature believer, maturity is not a gift. No, These are the factors that make a believer mature. That you know what to do. You have an understanding of the systems of the kingdom alongside the dynamics to engage those principles. Now you can counsel someone if someone comes to tell you my life is full of death. With the intelligence of a consultant, the Holy Spirit can freely walk through the knowledge bank in your mind to source out solutions. You can tell the person I think I know what is wrong. Let's diagnose it here. You already know the points to touch. First, that you're born again. If the person's answer is no, there's no Every help you will offer will be temporary. Are we together now? Yes? If it's born again? Is he knowledgeable? And if it's knowledgeable, is his knowledge structured? Are we together now? Can he defend what he knows? Does he understand what he knows? If he has sufficient knowledge, has he obtained the doing grace to work in keeping with what he knows? You know, most times we try to lend everything in the hope that the vastness of our spiritual knowledge will automatically mean maturity. As you grow older and the things of the spirit, you will find out that the realm of the spirit has what it was commanded to respect. There is a body of light that if you do not possess, you don't have authority in the spirit. Pay attention to these six areas, exhaust them, then you can now press into other areas in the kingdom. Those who land Christ properly, they ensure that these foundations were laid. There are many people who are exploring very delicate subjects in the spirit without understanding foundations like the believers authority, and so they get into certain prophetic dimensions that bring back casualties to them away together, now praise the name of the Lord. It's like not understanding the elementaries of aerodynamics and then desiring to own an aircraft, and then you want to fly it. You may have the money to buy it, but you are about to buy what. WI kill you because you will fly that aircraft and find out that certain foundational truths were supposed to be known before you even desire to own one. There are many people who have the money to buy cars, but they cannot drive. You can use your money to purchase the car. It can become an advantage, a system of efficiency, or the tool which which you will die. The difference is not the car. The car can answer to both expectations. The difference is the knowledge of the one who drives it. I'm praying for you in the name of Jesus that where there are gaps in your spiritual knowledge, as you hear me speak in the name of Jesus Christ, may God structure your understanding. May God bring you to a point of accuracy. In the name of Jesus Christ. I hope we're following so far so I've given you two instructions. I just complicated the second one broadened it a bit so that you are able to receive it more richly, or that it comes richer to you. Let me do a quick recap. Number one, I said, give yourself consistently and continually to prayer. Number two, commit yourself to the learning of the world of God, to doctrine, and to learn the mysteries of the Kingdomnumber three, give yourself to continuous learning. That's number three. Something happens to students, and I think that it's an error that affects graduates at every level. The idea of graduation to many is received mentally as the end of the pursuit of knowledge away together. So generally speaking, people begin to decline from the time they graduate because that fear, that healthy fear that motivates them to read, the fear of writing exams, losing out, everything goes away. And so once you wear that gown, throw your heart, or pick your certificate, that's the end of it. People shut down mentally, never to grow again. First Corinthians, chapter eight and verse two, a popular scripture in this house. And if any man think that he knowed anything, it says, let him know that he knows nothing yet as he ought to know. You know the attitude of a champion by his continual pursuit his passion for knowledge. Every time I read my Bible, I am amazed at the passion of Apostu Paul. Not many disciples vocalize their passion for knowledge. This is a man who had such high level spiritual understanding. He had to defend his knowledge his first revelation in Efficient chapter three, from verse three down to eleven. It was literally a defense of the basis for this high level revelation that he had. He was mentoring the church in Ephisos, and he had to digress. After building that foundation of the believers authority being in Christ chapter one and chapter two, he literally had to dedicate chapter three to give the basis a defense of his apostolic ministry away together. And that was a man who said, this one thing I do forgetting the things that are behind and reaching forth for the things that are before me. He said, I. Press, I press, even as an anointed man of God, I press even as a successful businessman, I press Allelujah. I think it was the Salmist who said this. Was it the Salmis no, no, not the Psalmist. He was Solomon the preacher. He said, the thing that I did not know, I searched it out. I suched it out. Do you know how to find information is an art itself. You need to know how to find information. Allelujah. But please I charge you, the graduating students and everyone who came you are here outside and to a global family following this graduation ceremony, Please commit yourself to continuous learning. Continuous learning. Be grateful for where you are, be happy and thankful for the body of light you have. But it's always important for you to know that there are still realms, there are still dimensions, and you must press for more. Someone say I press, like you're making a commitment. Say I press, like you're making a val with your destiny. Say I press, I press. Your destiny will rise to match the level of your knowledge, and stop there. It cannot rise higher than your knowledge. So your most build strategic knowledge bank what you do not know will become Satan's loophole into your life. John chapter one and verse five. It says, and the lights shine it in the darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not you know how that light shines prohaps for eighteen it shines more and more, more and more, layer after layer. Once you exhaust one layer, then another layer comes, Then another layer comes, another layer comes, another layer comes, until you get to the perfect day. In the name of Jesus, I'm praying for you the arrival mentality that has destroyed great destinies, that have made them to short change their potentials to be coming. I'm praying that that mentality will live your life forever. One more time, Shall I press give yourself to continuous learning, Buy books by the truth, listen to messages away together. Yes, I've listened to some of my own messages that came from my own research, but I listen to it again and again and again. I listen to it until it becomes a stronghold in my mind. That's proved that I respect what the Holy Spirit communicated through me. Most of us have books we don't read, and I confess to you that it's not every book that I've bought that I read. You don't need to read everything, but dear, must be that commitment to pursue knowledge away together. There is no day that passes that I don't add knowledge to knowledge. No day. It's a covenant, it's a ritual. No matter what happens, there's no excuse. There is no day, including today. Knowledge must be added to knowledge. Are we together? Yes? You see. Knowledge in the spirit is likened to the vessel that the prophet asks the woman to go and borrow, Go and borrow vessel. Do you know the woman had potential to be richer than she ended up becoming. The difference was that the oil only stayed to the limit of the oil. The oil never stopped on its own. The oil was limited by the lack of more vessel. She told you, he said, go and get the oil, give it to us verse five. Now jump to verse five. She went from him and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought the vessels, and she pulled it out verse six. And it came to pass when the vessels were full. Watch this. She said to her son. That means the oil was still willing to pour forth more, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said to us, there was not a vessel more. The oil was here in the conversation. The moment the woman said there was no more oil, the grace for greater weakness stopped. They are anointing for healing higher levels. At higher levels stopped when the knowledge bank. You see that now, the more you keep enlarging, the more you keep and lodging, the more you give room for that oil to manifest, particularly for those of you who are getting into the ministry of the Gospel. Don't camp around small things. You will end up being frustrated. You must be like the eagle that you are, stretch for the skies, and you'll be able to do much for the kingdom. In the name of Jesus. Let me give you the final instruction, and then we'll pray and get to the importation. Has someone learned something tonight? Instruction Number one give yourself consistently and continually to prayer. Number two, commit yourself to the learning of the world of God, to doctrine, and to learning the mysteries of the Kingdom. Number three, give yourself to continuous learning, having the mind of a learner, a richer, a student. Number four, do not despise the abilities, the giftings, and the spiritual resources given to you by God. Do not despise the abilities, the giftings, and the spiritual resources given to you by God. First Timoti four fourteen, First Timoti four fourteen, First Timote neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of hands the presbytery. Neglect not. The word neglect means to despise, to consider as not being useful. Are we together? The reason why the oil did not work for the woman was because he despised it. The prophet said, what do you have in your house? And the woman said, nothing except a little cruise of oil. Same thing happened in the house of Jesse, lined up all his sons and despise. One happened to be that that was the chosen of the Lord. David, you were somewhere in the backside in the wilderness, and someone said, is this all your sons? Say? Well, all the real useful ones with potential. But there's one for the purpose of truthfulness who is roaming around. He said, go and fetch him. I won't sit until he comes. Samuel himself was about to anoint Alia. He says, surely this is the Lord's anointed, well built, but was not chosen. Can I tell you this, ladies and gentlemen, if you despise the giftings of God in your life, then God cannot use it to bless people. God has given you a good voice. Don't despise it. God has given you high level intelligence. Don't despise it. FilmOn one and verse six, that the communication of your faith might be effectual through the acknowledging of every good thing that is in you in Christ Jesus, that the communication of your faith might become effectual through the acknowledging. Watch the scripture, especially the kJ your rendition. Through the acknowledging of every good thing that is in you in Christ. There are good things in you. Did you hear what I said? Intelligence is a good thing in you. The beautiful face it gives is a good thing in you. The confidence it gives you is a good thing in you. The kind heart that he gave is a good thing in you. Nobody will celebrate it, for you don't getting angers and nobody's seeing it. It is your business, between you and God to see it. Bring it out, and then the nations can join you to celebrate what you were already celebrating. We live in a world where we despise the things. Do you know? Let me tell you this. Growing up it's very funny. But growing up, you know, because of our backgrounds and all of that, we admired people in all humility who looking from hindsight, God even gave us greater investments, even by default. The difference was that those people sought treasure in what God gave them, and they not showed it. And some of us who had five talents given as a seed. The guy who had two talents, even in his harvest, he was not close to the one who had the five talent. There are people whose harvest is not up to the seed of others. Are we together? A man can have five talent and be complaining, whereas another person in the prime of his harvest is at four talents. It's your responsibility. Can I tell you something? The Bible never stopped at them multiplying five to ten. The story only polls for us because he gave the man. The man who had five later had eleven. If the story would continue, I presume the man would have had twenty two, then maybe forty four, then maybe eighty eight. At the rate he was going, he would have gotten to one thousand in no time. So if you have turned you of five to ten, don't stop because the story stopped there take ten to twenty, and I doubt if five to ten was the highest ratio. Maybe there will be someone who can take five two hundred. Asks Jesus, what did you do with five loaf and two fish. He didn't just make you to ten. He fed five thousand. So what is given to your hands, It depends on what you do with it. The story did not end with the people. He gave Jesus game to demonstrate that five does not only get to ten five and two can also go to five thousand in one moment. I'm praying for someone you will take two and it will become one million because of the way you will, so work on it. In the name of Jesus, that which looks little, the nations will celebrate God for you. For in the name of Jesus Christ. For someone. All you have or you think you have, may just be a voice, a beautiful voice at that a voice to sing his praises. Let grace come on that voice, Let wisdom come on that voice, and you will sing songs that will take you to the nations for someone. God has given you high level revelation. Don't trivialize it. Listen to what I'm telling you, my dear people, as you receive the impartation, I want you to know that there is none of you who is empty. More will be added, but there's no body who will be coming with zero. There's something in your spirit. You were taking the school of ministry to write out the things that constitute an advantage in your life. I hope you've not thrown your notes because you pass exams. Go back and review that note. Pray in the spirit over the things you've written. God, you gave me the ability to speak. I write it down. There is something God can do with that ability. Lord, you give me a kind heart. I write it down. It is not all men who are kind. The world is full of very wicked people. So know that your heart of kindness is a unique advantage. Are we together? God has granted you such grace. You are able to attract human and material resources. Write it. What do you do with what you write? You give thanks for it, and then you engage it to refine it so that you can deploy it. Don't despise the grace that God has given you. Don't despise the grace that God has given you. We had the privilege of going to commission some of the projects in the campus. And while we drove through to meet with the DVC and the Dean of student's Affairs, I was just nodding my head and I said, if you despise what God has given you, if you despise what God has given you, allelujah. So privilege should be able to do the things that we're doing now and the things that we yet do. But it did not just come by the grace of God. It partnered with someone who said, Lord, thank you. I accept once and for all that you have anointed me. I accept with gratitude that you have given me wisdom. Someone say thank you Jesus one more time, like you believe it. Say thank you Jesus. Some of you have been given tremendous academic acumend. Don't throw it away, don't despise seat away together. Yes, your giftings, your abilities, and then that which you are going to be receiving shortly. Don't just fall down and stand up and scream and roll and believe that the anointing came on you and stop there. Believe that as you pass what you did not have from your seat within that one two seconds, as hands are laid on you. Yes, believe it. Believe it. You see that if I transfer one thousand ner to your phone, how long does it take to get there? Almost immediately? How long can you use it? Immediately? Will the network house stop you a text that could not go before suddenly because something else happened to your device? You can now set it and it will go for some of you. God is not just sending a charch card as you are passing. It's giving you a new phone. Old one will go away, and it will give you a new one again. In the name of Jesus Christ. Praise the name of the Lord. We've done this for twelve years by the message of God. And I think twelve years old anything is old enough to be listened to. I understand a bit about importation. Let me tell you, ladies and gentlemen, what is about to happen to you. I know you've fallen in class many times, but this is not it. No, this is different. I know you shouted at the sermons. You have time to press or this is not it. You have prayed, you have fasted, you have prepared your hearts. We have come as instruments of God's messy to complete the other side of your training. We're doing it before the globe. Ladies and gentlemen, believe us. Tonight we are gathered to not only receive instructions as we have received, but also to complete the process of the building and the making of these precious people. And what we're about to witness in the next few minutes is a transference of spiritual possibilities that will come from God by his messy to willing hearts, Hearts that are open, hearts that have been trained out of this importation. Mighty men about to arise out of this importation, warriors, champions, people will be accessing graces as He has distributed. So let me encourage everyone. First, to all of us who are connecting from across the globe, and all of us who are here who are not the students, please participate. You've witness the ones for many years, but don't get too formal. Open up your heart. You may not be a graduating student, but you can be a hungry believer, a passionate believer, a desperate believer. For the next few minutes, as we run through this most serious part of the school of ministry, I want you to pray in the spirit. As you agree and connect with these ones and to you, the graduating students, your moment has come. Some of you have seen it in visions, some of it was an account of this day. You were directed by God to come from the school of ministry. I beseech you, therefore, by the message of God, that you open up your heart to receive. We come tonight by the message of God as privileged custodians of disgrace, and because your heart has been enlarged and open to receive, you are about to encounter something that will change your life forever, and so very quickly we're going to be prayed while the worship team just leads us to moments soaking in worship. As you line up and you come, please make sure your hearts are open to receive. Careless about whether you fall astand your focus should be on Jesus. Your focus should be on your destiny. Nations will thank you for the staying power, the stamina some of you, a mighty apostles will rise, Prophets will rise, warriors men who have been trained. You will shoot the arrow, and with precision you will try the sleeve, and like David, you will bring the head of Goliath down in one piece. Aluia prays the name of the Lord. I want to give someone an opportunity to make it right with Jesus tonight. In every gathering like this, there will always be people sent by God. He is ever willing to see that all men are saved and that they come onto the knowledge of the truth. Perhaps someone was invited, and you're here inside or somewhere outside, and from the start of the service you were inspired by every part of it, and something in you began to tell you that this is what your life should look like. I want to give you an opportunity to respond to that nodging, for it is God who is at work in us, in you to will and to do of his good pleasure. The devil will not lead you to want to surrender your life to Jesus. So I can tell you that you may have given things of lesser value your life, portions, days, years of your life. I want to propose to you the one who's changed our lives, the one who's made us what we are today. The Bible calls him the son of the Living God. He spoke to Nicodemus, and he said, for God's soul loved the world in John chapter three, that he gave his only begotten son. He said, whosoever that includes you, who would dare to believe in Him even tonight, would not perish, should not perish, but have life everlasting. But seventeen says for God did not send his son to the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved. God is all about salvation, even your salvation. The beautiful thing about God is that he will never force or impose his will on you. He proposes a more superior way like you're hearing tonight, but he gives you room to make your choice. He said, I sat before your life and death, blessing and cursing. I can't force you, but I can advise you to choose life for someone Here. You might be like the prodigal song. You've gone way, way, way into a degenerated state. But make the choice that that gentleman made. He didn't have the power to change his life, but he had the power to choose to change. And it did not start by him returning to the house. He started by him returning to his father. And so the Lord is calling someone home. Where you call home is a foreign place. Home is where Jesus is, Home is where life is, home is where his presence is. You're here in the main hall, you're outside any of the other flows. I'm going to be counting one to five, giving you an opportunity. I believe that I've spoken enough for you to be convicted by the spirit. I believe you are serious enough with your life, knowing where you stand if you need Jesus as I count one to five, even if you're outside, because he has empty and most of the hole is filled with the students, I'll give you room to Russian, but once the front is filled up, then you will be required to move to your led screen, particularly for those who are the overflow. Three. I want you to make Jesus a lot of your life. He's changed our lives, he can change yours. I will count one to five. Wherever you are, leave your seat and run by. Now you should know that you need Jesus. I begin my counting. Let's celebrate them as they come. One Cononia, keep clapping until they come. Somebody is finally making it right with Jesus tonight. Two Apostle. I want to come, but my friends may not allow me leave your friends alone. Uncome three. Keep clapping. Let's saw that seed. Keep clapping. Come home, come home. You are weary, Come home. Softly and tenderly. Chesus is calling calling you a seen us. Come home, Come home, Come home you weary, come home. Softly, untenderly. Jesus it's calling calling. Oh say nurse, come home. Allelujah, Apostle, I remember coming for the altar call, but my life is not correct. Join them, join them. You can have the assurance of salvation. You can rely dedicate your life to Christ. There is such a thing as the assurance of salvation. If you're joining them, come quickly. I'll give you one minute to join them, very quickly, so that I pray for you. Allelujah. I see my little children coming. Even if they don't know what they're doing, it's better to come out in the presence of Jesus. Eli. And Samuel was in this presence when he heard the voice. And so I'm sure that the counselors, the pr department counselors will know what to do with them. Praise God. Let's celebrate the Lord for this harvest. Alle Lujah. Listen to me, my brothers and my sisters. I want you to hear me. No matter how far a man goes away from God, once your heart is open, he can receive, you can start again. Jesus does not make men Christians. He makes men children of God. This is beyond and I've advocated to become a Christian. I'm introducing you to a functional relationship that will change your life. And I want to thank you for the courage. Takes a lot of courage to come and stand before God's people. And whilst I'm still speaking, if the Holy goes you're speaking to you, don't sit back. Don't sit back. You'll be doing your destiny disservice. Let tonight be known as the night where you made it right with Jesus. Lift your right hand, all of you who are in front. I'm going to prayer, prayer and ask you to pray after me. Please, I want you to mian it from your heart. You are speaking to Jesus, Let it be from your heart. Say Lord Jesus, tonight I have heard your word. I love you with all my heart. I believe you are the son of God. Say I believe that you died for my sin. I believe the children are even louder. And some of you, say, I believe that you rose again for my justification. Right now I receive Jesus into my heart as my savior, my Lord, and my King. I declare that I'm a child of God. From today I go forward ever and backward. Never keep your beautiful hands lifted, and let me speak a blessing over your father. Thank you. The Bible declares that as many who will come to you, you will in no wise cast away. These precious ones have come responding to that nodging, responding to that call, I pray by the authority of Scripture that their sins are hereby forgiving, and in the name of Jesus we call them bona fide recipients of your life. I pray that from today they walk in the newness of life, and I commend them to your spirit and your world, that they be kept, they be built until they become mighty vessels in your hand. I decree and declare that the power of sin, Satan, helen the grave is broken off from your life. Forever you are children of God, you walk in the liberty, wherewith His set you free. May the Lord bless you in Jesus' much less name, we pray
