We honor you in the name of Jesus Christ, and we pray that tonight will be an experience for you in Jesus' name, praise the name of the Lord.

This is a house of honor, and please accept my salutations and my honor for sake of time, praise the name of the Lord. Now, the School of Ministry operates on a twofold structure, by the grace of God. Like you have heard, this is the twelfth edition of Graduation and Importation Service. But generally speaking, it operates on a twofold structure. Number one is strategic and structured mentorship. So we invest about five to six months strategically mentoring the students who are caught across all walks of life, not necessarily those who are in ministry alone. The school was designed to impact on people beyond the pulpit, and so it extends to career people, professionals in their various regards. And so the first strategy is mentorship, structured mentorship. And the second that is what we're about to witness to night, is the importation. We believe that this combination of structured and strategic rensorship, in addition to the importation, will prepare the students to be able to manifest as living epistles, as worthy ambassadors first of the kingdom and then of this vision. It is for this that we are gathered tonight, and I plead that you lend me your attention for the next few minutes. It is customary that I give a charge and then will get straight to the impartition. The charge is first and foremost to all our graduating students, but as always it extends to everyone who is here and to the many who are connected online. Please receive this as instructions that will be a blessing to you. I title this charge the Things to Remember, and for reference, let's go to second Peitch, Chapter one. We're reading the first twelve verses the Things to Remember. This is a charge first for the graduating students, and then this will also be useful to everyone who is here and to the many across the globe who are listening. Second Timothy one. I'll begin my reading from verse one to twelve. Media. Let's go second Peter. My apologies. Second Peter one one to twelve. Simon Peter is servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ. To them that have obtained like pressuoreus faith with us true the righteousness of God. And our Savior Jesus Christ. Verse two, Grace and peace be multiplied onto you through the knowledge of. God and of Jesus our Lord. Verse three. According as his divine power hath given us all things that pertain onto life and godliness through the knowledge of Him that has called us to glory and to virtue, whereby are given onto us exceeding great and precious promises, that by this we might be partakers of the divine nature, having escape the corruption that is in the world through lost fife. And beside this now play attention, giving all diligence, it says, add to your faith, virtue and to virtue, knowledge and to knowledge, Temperance and to temperance, patience and to patience, godliness and to godliness, brotherly kindness and to brotherly kindness, love or charity. For if these things be in you and a bound, it says, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor on fruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. Verse nine. But he that lacked these things is blind and cannot see a far off, and had forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. Wherefore, the rather brethren, give diligence to make your calling and your election show. It says, for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall eleven. For so an entrance shall be ministered onto you abundantly into the everlasting Kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I like that we read the final verse in concert ready one to go. Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you in remembrance of these things, though ye know them and are established in the present truth. The Lord blessed the reading of his word in Jesus name, allelujah. And so for a charge, I'll be giving us a few instructions. Instructions are powerful, a great man, a father of faith in this nation, said, those who train pilots are called instructors, and they are so called among other reasons, because they train those who will be flying an aircraft is a very delicate responsibility. They are not called advisers, they are not called trustees. They are called instructors. Allelujah. Because one violation of the law of aerodynamics, or the principles of flight in the air, can cause the destinies of so many people. Allelujah, Praise the name of the Lord. The Bible says, my son, pay attention to my words. It says, incline your ears to my sayings, do not let them depart from you. Keep them in the midst of your heart. It says. They are life, not to everybody, to those who find them, and health to their flesh. Scripture says, the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. It says, but fools despite wisdom and instruction. And so I'm praying that as we receive this instruction, first to the students and then to everyone, that we find a place to treasure these instructions in our hearts. These are the precepts, like ladders upon which greatness leans on. And if you do not know how to climb it, line upon line, precept upon precept, you may find yourself wanting as far as your destiny is concerned. But I'm praying for you in the name of Jesus Christ, first to the students and then to everyone, that you will be a faithful hearer in Jesus' name. I gave Zaria a Zariah campus four. I intend to give us seven, and that in a hurry, let's go number one. The first instruction tonight, as far as attaining onto God's expectations for any man is concerned, is build and commit to a systemic, consistent prayer life. You may want to write that down. Build and commit to a systemic, consistent prayer life. Anyone who wants to emerge, anyone who wants to excel, anyone who wants to be great in the kingdom must be a person, a man or a woman who is committed to building a systemic, consistent, stend prayer life. Look eighteen, verse one. He spake a parable to the end that men ought always to pray and not to faint. First the Salonians five seventeen. The Bible says, to pray without ceasing, or to pray forevermore. Allelujah. The Bible says, and this is the confidence that we have in Him, that when we ask anything according to his will, we know that he hears us. Matthew Mark, chapter eleven and verse twenty four. He says, what things soever ye desire when ye pray, not if you pray, believe that thou receivest them, and thou shalt have them Philippians four six down to eight. He says, be anxious for nothing, but in everything, in everything, every matter, every issue at. All in your life. It says, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known onto God. Matthew seven seven. Ask it says in prayer, that is, and you shall receive sick, and you shall find knock, and the doors shall be opened. Versus eight says, for everyone that asked receiveth and he that seekeret find it, and to him that knock it it shall be opened. I submit to you, ladies and gentlemen, like you have learned in this house, and is worthy of repetition that the one who invests in the culture of prayer is the one who will be mighty, not just in the spirit, but mighty in life and destiny. Prayer is not for prayer warriors. Prayer is not for men and women of God. Prayer is not just for fanatics. Prayer is for everyone. It is your safety net, like you have been taught in this house. Among the many objectives of prayer, the chiefest of them is for your growth and your transformation. If you do not commit to a culture, a lifestyle of consistent prayer, you will not be a believer of stature and of power. I told Zariah to repeat this unless try it with a buja shout. I will pray one more time like you are believing it, say, I will pray. You must build intentionally, and you must commit yourself to a life of prayer. Prayer molds an individual from an inferior, weak version of you to a version of you that carries power, carries wisdom. It was in the place of prayer that Daniel received answers Allelujah. Their lives were at risk because the king would not rest until his dream and interpretation were told him. And Daniel told the king. He said, do not be hasty, give me time. He went and in the place of prayer. The Bible says, then the secret was revealed onto Daniel. Allelujah, and praying for you that as you commit yourself to the prayer altar, your life will be nothing short of a sign and a wonder. You believe that shall amen. Instruction number two. You must submit to and live by the word of God, simple but profound, simple but destiny defining. You must submit to and leave by the word of God Matthew chapter four and verse four. Jesus, in replying Satan at the temptation, said, it is written man, any man at all, whether that man is a business man, whether that man is a man of God, whether that man is a carrier person a professional man, shall not leave by bread alone, but by every word that proceeded out of the mouth of God. Man lives by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. In Acts chapter twenty and verse thirty two, it says, and now, brethren, I commend you to God first and foremost, and then to the word of His grace, which is able. There is ability in the world to build any man up, and then to deliver onto you an inheritance among them that are sanctified. It was one of the Apostolic precepts to hold onto the integrity and the supremacy of the world of God, as we find in Acts chapter six and verse four, it says, but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the world. To prayer and to the ministry of the world. To prayer and to the ministry of the world. You must make the World of God final authority in your life and in all matters. First Timuoti four and verse thirteen. You must make the world of God final authority. It says still like come. Give attendance to reading, to exhortation, and to doctrine. So when we talk about the Word of God, number one, we talk about the doctrinal composition of God's Word, and then number two, the mysteries of the Kingdom, so that you are not vague in your understanding of the Word of God. When we talk about the Word of God, number one, we're talking about the doctrinal precepts that are contained. In the World of God. Number two, we're talking about the mysteries of the Kingdom, the body of spiritual knowledge that can empower an individual to work in dominion. Matthew thirteen eleven says, it has been given unto you to know the mysteries of the Kingdom. You must submit to the Word of God. The man who neglects the Word of God is the man who has neglected potential for greatness. The man who neglects the Word of God is one who's neglected potential for liberty. And dominion and a life of victory. Victory in the Kingdom cannot happen outside of the world of God. John one, verse three. All things, including any destiny at all, were made by Him, and without. Him was not anything made that was made. I pray for you in the name of Jesus that your passion, your hunger, and your determination to commit to and live by the world will never fade with time. Shout I believe with amen, particularly for those of you who are going into the ministry, the ministry as we know, the ministry of the world. I pray for you that in the name of Jesus Christ, you will be ever fresh as far as your passion for the world is concerned. You believe that, Shout amen. So instruction number two, submit to and live by the Word of God. Let it be final authority in your life. Don't submit selectively. Now here's what happens with many people. Lend me your attention for one moment. There are people who choose to submit to the world of God if and when the Word of God agrees. With what they already believed. So it just flows through. But many times you will find conflicting ideas. Culture has this idea about life, sociology has his idea about life, and then the Word of God has his idea. It is up to you to lay aside every other thing and choose the word of God. That if the Word of God stands side by side with any other ideology away together, the Word of God must be exalted above it. This is the believer's call. And there is a promise already there that if you do submit to the Word of God, it's able to build you up and to deliver onto you and inheritance. The reason is because in John one, verse. One, the Bible says, in the beginning, before there was any idea, there was any concept, there was any fabrication of man's intelligence. The Bible says, in the beginning was the word, not an idea, not a suggestion, not a pen down rule by some group of people. In the beginning was the world, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And praying for you in Jesus name, that from today the world of God will be at the beginning of every matter of your life. Number three, very quickly, the third instruction for tonight, deliberately fight the know it all mentality. Very simple but profound instruction. Deliberately fight the know it all mentality, by giving yourself to continuous learning, deliberately fight the know it all mentality. There is such a mentality as a know it all mentality. It is the cap that medio casts weigh on their head, the know it all mentality, And that happens by giving yourself to continuous learning. The popular scripture in this house first Corinthians eight and verse two, a scripture I found many years ago, and it's been a rule of tomb. It's been an anchor to my own life. First Corinthians eight and verse two. Let's read together in concerts. Ready one to read. And if any man thinks that he knowed anything, uhhh, he knowed nothing. Yet as. One of the ways you identify champions at every level and in any field. Is by their hunger to know more. There is an unquenchable desire, passion to learn, to reach for, to improve. I'm reminded of Paul. He said, this one thing I do forgetting the things that are behind me and reaching forth for the things that are before me. He makes a very profound statement that has become an instruction to my own life. He said, I press, can we try that together? Want to go? Say I press one more time in spite of my achievements, he said, I. Allelujah. During one of our retreats in the UK. I preached on a message come up hither, and it was a very instructive one. I read from Revelations chapter four, and Apostle John makes a very profound submission. He said, after these, I looked after these four profound words, but it came as light to me after these you know what these are? You would have to make reference to chapter one, chapter two, and chapter three. I mean, such a spectacular revelation. It starts by saying he was caught up in the Isle of Patmos for the as a weakness for the testimony of the Lord Jesus Christ. And then he's caught up in heaven and he sees the golden lambstand one in the midst of the lambstand looking like the Son of Man. He begins to describe the splendor of heaven. Then he receives instructions for the seven churches which were then in Asia Minor, and prophetically they represent the Universal Church. Haveavn't obtained instructions? You would think there was nothing else to learn, And so he says, after this all these superior encounters, all these instructions. After this, I still looked very profound. Can you look after this, after the awards, after the name, after the fame, after the mighty achievements. There are many people who cannot look again after this. There are some this wonderful things that can happen to a man and produce a side effect of stopping you from looking forward. I'm praying for you, no matter how high you rise, no matter how great you become, no matter how dexter us your life becomes, I'm praying that the appetite to continue to press will never fade from your life. If we're an agreement together, letsh out amen. This already is an encouragement to every other person, not just the graduating students. You know, champions, by their appetite to learn, they learn vert carry and horizontally. They don't just learn from God alone. They learn from men. They learn from subordinates. Everything in life is a teacher to a wise man. Did you hear what I said? Everything in life is a teacher to a wise man. Pay can be a teacher to a wise man. Other people's mistakes can be a lesson a teacher to a wise man Wise people do not learn selectively. They are opened. They learn from everything. Even if you can learn wisdom, you can learn to not follow that path because it leads to death. I'm praying for you in the name of Jesus Christ, that you will be given to continuous learning. That if Christ tarries after your name is around the world doing great things in business and ministry, we will meet you still at the feet of Jesus learning. We will meet you at the feet of intelligent wise people. Learning that you will never have an arrival mentality. You will never have a know it all mentality. Worst off, you will never have a knowing only mentality. In the name of Jesus Christ, you believe that shout amen. Instruction number four. Blessed be the name of the Lord. Never despise the abiliity it is, the giftings and the spiritual resources given to you by God. Never despise the abilities, the giftings, and the spiritual resources given to you by God Festimo four fourteen. Never despise the abilities, the giftings, and the spiritual resources given to you by God. Firstimoti four fourteen. He says, neglect not the gift that is in thee which was given thee by prophecy with the laying on of hands, and that of the presbytery. Let me tell you this, there is no body on earth who is without a spiritual investment as a gift by God. The parable of the talents not only show. Us that we can multiply what God gives us, but it shows us that there is no one who is without something from God. He gave on to one five talents. The Bible says he gave on to one two talents, He gave on to one one talent. At least for every of the three, representing all men, he gave them something. It is your. Idea or it is your your responsibility. I would say to take what. God has given you, appreciate it, not show it, develop it, refine it, and then save. It with excellence. Halle lujah. Our world is full of people who spend their lives and their days admiring orders, admiring men of God sincerely so, admiring business people, admiring professionals who are at the zenith of their career and their professional pursuits. Admiring people who are making a mark in various fields. And they do not know that like the people that they admire. There's something that God. Has put within them that, if discovered follow my thoughts, if appreciated, if invested in, and served with excellence, can also give them a space on the table of greatness. I repeat myself again, if this, if appreciated, if invested in, developed, refined, and then deployed to serve with excellence, it can become. A channel for you to glorify. Go through your life, and then create a space for you among the great. The Bible says, the gift of a man, it says, and I'd like to add, the gift of a man that has been discovered, refined, and deployed, can make room for him not in the raw, on refined state, and then bring him before great men. You must refine the giftings of God within you, whether they come as spiritual resources, whether they come as intellectual resources, whether. They come as physical resources. In whatever form or manner they came, you must identify them. You must refine them, and then acknowledge that they were given to you by God and for the profiting of yourself and the world around you. Refine them, serve them to your world with grace, with humility, and with confidence. I repeat with grace, with humility, and with confidence. When you find that which God has put in your spirit and you are certain that it will make you a blessing to the world, hold it and treasure it with everything you have, and do not let anyone, under the guise of any kind of sentiment pully you out of the confidence that comes from knowing that you also have what it takes to be a blessing. Someone shout, I am a blessing. As simple as this statement is, many people today have been reduced to in their minds. They have been reduced to almost nothing because they believe that their lives don't count. And the reason is because society seems to give a narrative that if you are not from socioci region, if you do not assume a certain they do not expect any blessing to come out of you. But let me tell you the truth, ladies and gentlemen, and drum it for one last time, that there is no one who came from God who is without something that can become a blessing to the world. Away together and praying for you in the name of Jesus, that God will grant you the confidence to appreciate. What he has given you. That while you admire that which He has given to orders, it will not be at the detriment of what he has given you. If you're an agreement, shout Amen, praise the name of the Lord, and probably a last word on the fourth instruction, then we go to the feet. Focus on impact beyond fame. I'm still brotressing on the fourth point. Focus on impact as far as releasing that which is in you is concern. You know, we live in a world where we are so obsessed with being famous, and there's nothing in trains sically wrong with fame and notoriety. In fact, it is part of the tools that are needed for kingdom come. You need influence, and influence and fame. Although they are not the same, they are closely related. People must know you are there, and there's nothing wrong if you are elevated, if you are exalted to a position where people can know that you are there and appreciate the investment. Of God upon your life. But wise and visionary people focus on impact beyond fame. You can be famous without being impactful. An example is Satan. Satan is famous, but it does not mean he is impactful. Another example, terrorist groups. They are famous, but it does not mean they're impactful. When you call your name, there's any there's hardly anyone who will not know that there is so and so terrorist group across Nigeria ORSOB Saharan Africa. But it does not mean that what they are doing is noble and should be emulated. So you must look beyond fame to a life of impact. There were many people in the Bible who were not as famous, but they were impactful. An example of such that easily comes to mind is the prophetess Hannah. The prophetess, there's no record that she was famous. In fact, the Bible says she spent at least sixty four years or thereabout in the temple praying Jesus, praying that agenda the arrival of the Messiah. She most likely was not known, but it's impossible to talk about the whole process of redemption and then ignore her contribution. For even when Jesus was born, he was brought to the temple, and she received him, blessed him, spoke over his life, allelujah. Fame is important. Fame is great, nothing wrong with it intrinsically, But in order of priority, you most desire to live a life of impact beyond the life of fame. I found out that when. You focus on impact, you will achieve both allelujah. When you focus on fame, you will most likely lose both. You will not get the fame, and then you will not live an impactful life. But when you focus sincerely on a life of impact, you will find out that eventually you would have gotten both. I pray for you, May you find both and may you manage it well. Are you still shouting him. And like you believe? Allelujah? Now? Number five A quick recap. Number one I said to build and commit to a systemic, consistent prayer life. The first instruction the things to remember. Number two, that you submit to and leave by the Word of God, making it final authority over your life in every matter whatsoever. Number three, to deliberately fight that know it all mentality, and to give yourself to continuous learning. Four to never despise the abilities, the giftings, and the spiritual resources that have been deposited within you, but that you discover them, appreciate God for them, refine them, and deploy them to serve your world with grace, with humility, and with confidence. Now number five. Invest in building strategic pro destiny relationships. Invest in building strategic pro destiny relationships. I cannot emphasize this enough. The roles that relationship have to play, as far as fulfilling your mandate and living a victorious life on earth is concerned, invest in building strategic pro destiny relationships. I'll tell you one of the ways that you become that you invest in building relationships not by looking for quality people, but by becoming the kind of person that will make quality people want to associate with. Did you get that? Now? There are many people who are unwilling to grow. They are unwilling to transit to become better versions of themselves. And then they desire to have the finest and the best. Of all kinds of relationships spiritual relationships, financial relationships, intellectual relationships, political relationships. And the person who desires all of this is the individual who does not have a determination to grow. Relationships are like magnets. They draw to themselves to the degree to which you transit, to the degree to which you grow. Hallelujah, your most master. Relationships have taught you in this house endlessly that this is the world of men. Some verse sixteen. I believe it says the heaven of heavens belong to the Lord. It says, but the earth had he given to the children of men. This is the world of men. Do not forget I have taught you in this house, and let. Me recapy again that relationships. Are advantageous connections that are mutually beneficial to all the parties that are involved. If it is not mutually it may not be equally beneficial. But it must be mutually beneficial to all the parties that are involved. Whether it's between you and God, whether it's between men and men, you must contend and seek for relationships that are mutually beneficial to both parties. I have furthermore taught you in this house that relationships are bridges. To an exceptional life. Never forget this. The bridge between your today and your tomorrow is a relationship, and if you burn the bridges because of carelessness, you may never get to the other side. Unfortunately, relationships are also the bridges that connect you from where you are to a life of pain and regret. So whether you are moving forward to. An enviable destiny, or you are moving backward to a life of pain regret. Either ways, you would have to follow the bridge called a relationship. And I can tell you history and the Bible is full of men who followed both ways as lessons for us to learn. Are we together now, Yes, you can follow the bridge as a relationship to a life of grace and glory. I was touched by the gentleman who gave his testimony one of the students. Now imagine the role that his wife played in his life, getting him saved and now helping him to begin to learn the things of God. Relationships have bridges. They lead to an exceptional life, and they also lead to a life of pain and regret. The choice is yours. I also taught you that relationships are currencies. Remember that they can buy anything money can buy, but they can also buy what money cannot buy. Please listen again, relationships are currencies. The next time you tap your pocket and there's nothing, don't say I don't have money. No, you may not have nayra and. Dollars, but relationships are real currencies. In fact, they are the ones that give value to this mundane things we call. Nairah and dollars. Take every human being away from the world and leave all the saves and all the whatever it is. The value of money, as you know, is because there is another man. There's another human figure behind the scene who is ready to transact. And to give it worth. So what we call money derives is worth from the presence of men. I have prayed for you in cononia, and let me try it again for those who are not attentive that day. May you never be so poor that all you have is money again. May you never be so poor that the only thing you have is an inanimate object that was printed that you call money. If all you have in your life is nira and cobble and dollars, believe me, you are not wealthy. In the multitude of men is a king's honor, not just the multitude of resources. Don't get me wrong. Resources are important, but they only find their value because there are men who give them the value. Are we learning now praise the name of the Lord. Why is the typewriter obsolete today? Simply because men decided that, through growth and civilization and advancement, they do not consider it necessary to their lives. Again, anything derives its value in this world to the degree to which men receive it and men appreciate it. From phones, technological gadgets, etc. And praying for you again that My God will give you the wealth of men only strategic men. Are you shouting? Amen? You are as fortunate in life as the men who decide to believe in you and agree with your destiny. You are as fortunate in life, not just by the school that you went to, as well wonderful as that is, or the course of study, or you know, the background. All of those things are wonderful, But you are really fortunate to the degree to which you find men who believe in you. Are we together, men who agree with your vision, men who are willing to invest your time, their energy, your resources to drive your vision to fruition. Again, I'm praying for you in the name of Jesus Christ. May God send your quality men. But while you're on your way coming, may God make you the kind of person who will not be a cost to any relationship. I thought that would be a louder Amen. The easiest way to succeed in life is through strategic relationships and destiny connections. It is the easiest way I know to succeed in life. Show me a man who has failed in every way but has one relationship that. Can become a leverage. I show you a man who still has hope. Even if it's not a relationship with men, your relationship. With God can begin the journey. The prodigal son lost everything. He lost his reputation, he lost his pedigree, he lost the resources given to him. But he remembered that upon connecting back to his father, it could be his last chance to get back. And he said, how many highed savants as my father, and I am here dining with the you pigs and. All of that. He said, I will arise. He didn't say I will go home. Going home will not bring him redemption. He needed a relationship, not a location. I will arise, and I will go to my father. And when I go to my father, I will say, Father, I've sin against you, and I'm not worthy to be called your son. Take me as one of your hired savants. The Bible says, while he was on his way coming, he met his father. The moment that connection happened, in almost an instant, honor was restored, dignity was restored. I pray for you again, the kinds of men who are been positioned across the strategic corridors of your destiny. May you find them, and may you when you meet them, may you discern them. In the name of Jesus Christ. Please sit down. I'm tempted to still add more flesh to my talk on relationships, because you see you have been taught in this house, and for the purpose of tonight's meeting, let me remind you that many of the people who are useful to your destiny will not come in the form that you will be appreciated. In that instance, you will need. You will need a lot of discernment. If you had seen the slave girl as a divine connector, you would reject her because she didn't have anything directly to offer. I have taught you in this house that from the standpoint of destiny helpers, there are four major kinds of destiny helpers you will need in your life. Number one divine connectors. Number two men and women of influence. Number three, gifted men Number four boarding bearers. What the types a man who does not invest in having these kinds of relationships? Again, define connectors. They don't have the power to help you, but they know who can help you. An example the slave girl. Number two. Men and women of influence an example Pharaoh. An example Joseph of Arimathea. These are men who, by reason of their pedigree, their sacrifice, and growth, their investment through the years, they have risen the ranks of influence. Are we together. They are gatekeepers, they are keyholders, They are recommendations. What they say about you can decide the next season of your life, or keep you stunted. These are the kinds of men you don't cast and bind. You pray for favor with them. Imagine Joseph praying and casting Herald Pharaoh. Imagine Daniel praying and say, Father, in the name of g I'm asking you to kill nebokat Nezza. That would be a wasted prayer. The Bible says when a man's waste pleases the Lord. There are some men that the only way to move through your destiny through them is to find favor with them. And that will demand you understanding principles like the law of honor. I've taught you this, Understanding people's skills, being patient, away together, and so on and so forth. It's very important. Real wealth, I wrote here is access to the hearts of men. When you secure the loyalty, the trust, and the confidence of many men, you are wealthy when you secure the loyalty, the trust, and the confidence of many men. Truly you are wealthy, so you must pay the price to invest in quality relationships for graduating students. Many of you have interacted with one another through these months, and I'm hoping that you've been able to build a relationship or two from among yourselves that will prove to be useful even for the days that are coming. I made a prophetic statement many years ago. I said, we will all be great, and the greater part is that we will all know ourselves. It's an advantage when you know yourself. Because you are a witness to the history of someone, you can easily you can make the job easier because you were a witness to the arising away together again, I'm praying for you, and I'm praying for everyone who is here tonight and those who are connected online. Where you have been barron of visionary friends, where you have been barron of pro destiny friends. In the name of Jesus, from this night forward, may God by himself begin to connect you to strategic people. God will give you one friend that is equal to a company of men, one friend that will accelerate you spiritually, that will acceleerate you financially, that will accelerate you in terms of your career. In the name of Jesus Christ and I pray for you, you will not join your wrong chariot. You will not join the relationships that lead to your decline. In Jesus' much less name, we pray number six, sixth instruction the things to remember number six Are you ready? In addition to being spiritual, you must seek to impact your world in a very positive and definite way. In addition to being spiritual, you must seek to. Impact your world in a very positive and definite way. Please write that and let me say a quick word on it. In addition to being spiritual, you must seek to impact your world in a very definite or positive and definite way. Now my reservation, and it's a very humble submission as to how we do a practice of the Christian faith, particularly within the African continent. And this is an observation that I have brought many times in my teachings that spirituality must be translated to a context away together, that builds society, that empowers community, away together, and that ultimately becomes. A tool for nation building. So spirituality that does not have an expression in making society better only ends up turning that individual into a fanatic. And this unfortunately, in many quarters, this has been the case. So you'll find a lot of vibranch people talking believers world reciting believers whose context whose understanding of Christianity is just limited to prayer, what study, church attendance and maybe giving. They are not apostolic in their scope. They have not been so mentored that the riches that of what you get from your secret place should translate to you living a life that impacts upon society. Little won that we have so many churches in Nigeria, with all due respect, so many churches in Africa, and yet you cannot justify the kind of transformation in society. Things are changing. Though we are very happy things are changing. I can tell you, by the grace of God, there are so many people who are impacting upon society who come directly from the church. I mean people who are rooted and planted in the church. We pray that this apostolic mentality continues to grow. When Jesus worked with the disciples, let's look at the apostle of our faith. He took some time to work with the disciples, building their spiritual life, investing in them, the culture of prayer, investing in them, and. Understanding of the kingdom. A time came when he now told them he would send them away together, and even though their assignment was primarily spiritual. It impacted upon society. For instance, in Acts chapter eight, the Bible says Philip went down to Samaria, and there he preached Christ onto them. The people get hit. The Bible says, in one accord, you read that from verse six they heard and listened to everything he said, and the miracles which he did, and the Bible says on clean spirits through him came out of many, and those who were taken with pulses were healed. And like verse eight, it says, and there was great joy. Not on the crusade ground. There was great joy. The miracles were done on the crusade ground, but it translated to great joy in the entire city. My submission about the Great Commission has been and remains this threefold approach world evangelization, the discipleship of the saints, and then terryal transformation. I am an advocate of transforming faith into a context that builds and improves society. Christians should not be the only one who benefit from Christianity. Christianity was not supposed to be a blessing to only Christians. Matthew Chapter five thirteen, two sixteen. It says, you are the salt of the earth, not the salt of the church. It says, but if the salt has lost is several, wherewith shall it be salted? It is henceforth good for nothing except to be cast down and trodden on the foot of men. Fourteen. You are the light of the world. You are a city that is set on a heel that cannot be hid. It says, neither do men light a candle. That candle is you, and put it under a bushel, but upon a candlestick, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Then it says, let your light so shine before before. That includes all kinds of men, those who are of faith and those who are outside of faith. We have a mandate to extend the riches of this divine life to them. Society should change because. They are Christians. It should not be a mockery on God that we have a number of people praying in tongues, jumping, falling, holding bibles, going to charge investing in prayer meetings, words, study meetings, conferences. Without the fabric first, the moral fabric, the technological fabric, the sociological fabric of society. It's impossible to have this rich capture of believers without the society feeling the impact. This is what it means to be an apostolic Christian. To be an apostolic Christian means that you translate the riches of your relationship with Jesus Christ, among other things, to a context that becomes a blessing that crime rate should reduce in a are we together because of the presence of the church, that it can be traceable even by the government that from the time this and that church was established, through the power of the Gospel, through the power of all their spiritual programs, there are this empirical data to show that society has become a better place because of the believer. This is the orientation that Jesus gave about the church. And I'm praying the name of Jesus Christ that has a contribution to society. These that are going to be graduated tonight will add to improving Nigeria, will add to improving Africa. That one person among the students who are graduating in more this time. Time will become such an influence for the kingdom. You will become a name that will be known for good. You will do God prow through your life. You will do the ministry prowd through your life. You will never be named for anything that brings reproach to the name. Of the Lord. You believe that shout Amen alle lujah was very humble when the footballer lady came to give her testimony. And I understand there are many of those footballers connected to different churches too, So no body should say the church is a nuisance to society. We are making contributions, no matter how small. It is better than nothing. Away together now, by the grace of God and by the privilege of stewardship He's giving us, we will redefine the narrative of church as far as it's impact to society's concern so that our relevance does not just end on the Pulpits no, no, no, that spirituality translates into a tool for nation building. We will raise responsible people. They are born again and talking. They are spiritual, but not fanatica. There are people who can translate the wisdom of the world, to set up enterprise the wisdom of the world, to run families that work the wisdom of the world. Are we together to bring programs that move our country, our continent forward. If that is you, shout Amen. In addition to being spiritual, you must seek to impart your world in a very positive and definite way. I make reference to my lecture at Harvard and one of the things I said during the fire chat. The fire side chat was about the power of one. I remember that lecture. I taught the students that. Impact is one person at a time. The ambition to change the world starts with changing one person, and that one person you to the degree to which you. Can be changed. It gives us. If the change works in you, then it can work in whoever comes close to you, and then it can work in the family. Away together praise the name of the Lord. So in our aspiration to change our world, we shouldn't be overly ambitious. Yet we can start from ourselves then extend it to our families. I told you that research has shown that almost every national problem was first a regional problem that was not solved. Every regional problem, or almost every regional problem, was a community problem that was not solved away together. Almost every community problem was a family problem that was not solved. So the ambroba that later becomes a threat to society starts by stealing in the house. And if those who have been given stewardship over him do not do their due diligence to build that umbroba, he becomes a nuisance to the home, then graduates to the community away together, then becomes a nuisance to the region, Then he becomes a nuisance to the nation. Then he extends to the continent. And the whole world. There are names today that you would never want to name your children, because there are already names that capture a history that is terrible, and you don't want to prophesy that to your child. I'm praying for you because of your life. Many people will name their children after you. I say to you again, many people who name their children after you. In the name of Jesus Christ. I'm here to hear someone with the name Lucifer. Maybe there is. I'm yet to hear someone give the child the name Satan. Great spelling, bad history. Are we together? The reason is because there is a story. There is a history that is connected to. Such a name. We must raise agents of national and territorial transformation. And let me charge everyone who is here. We're honored to have professionals at different levels. The business of transforming society cannot be left to government alone. Government should spareheaded, but every institution has a responsibility. To play its role. And I can tell you this if we minimize grumbling and complaining, I'm not a politician, and put our hands in glove. Every region, every institution, every quarter must do its own deed to producing the citizens. That transform society. No society will be transformed by external people waiting for an external body to come and change society's irresponsibility. The people within society must begin to take that sense of responsibility. Change your family, change your your what they call it now your community, and that by adopting word compliant values, values that promote human dignity, values that promote responsibility, values that reward responsibility, values that reward meritocracy. Are we together. Crooks should not be succeeding unattended to. By the time evil looks marketable, it will continue. Allelujah, prays the name of the Lord. I've made up my mind that I will not be a man of God who will only raise spiritually vibrant people. I've described for you here what we call the coin on your believer, so it is a template of the kind of believer that. We are raising under disgrace. We have an exact picture, a seven fold recitation of what should happen to you under disgrace, and among them is that you must be translated, through the power of God's word and the ministry of the Holy Spirit, to an individual who becomes an agent of territorial transformation, first for your nation and then every other nation where you are represented. Any nation you are represented becomes your mission field. At that point is someone learning in the name of Jesus Christ. Is the reason why we call people men of God and. Women of God, but we also call them weaknesses, and we call them kingdom ambassadors. When you limit the description of people to men and women of. God, you psychologically re engineered their mind to think that jurisdiction is just the pul pit. I am a man of God, but I'm beyond a man of God. There are other components to my life, and I allow it to find expression to be able to better society in whatever. We we can. So it's to preach. We preach if it's. To whatever charitable organized activities we do that transforming people in whatever way to spend and be spent for him, so that at the end of my life it shouldn't only be Christians who say they benefited from Joshua Selman. Society should say this society became better because this person was born. May that be your testimony in the name of Jesus Christ. Are you ready for number seven? Number seven? And then we go straight to the importation. I hope you've learned something for many of us, most of us this is not new, but it's coming as remembrance to keep this as a rule of thumb. As you so, John. Seven, think posterity. Think posterity. Beyond achievements, think posterity. You know what posterity means. Think about the future, think about succeeding generations. Every visionary must always think posterity. I think it was here during one of our discussions. I said, once you are above thirty or fair enough, let's stretch it to thirty five. Once you are above thirty five, you should stop thinking about your life alone. The moment you clock thirty or let's say fair of thirty five, you must begin to think posterity. The narrative we give people, especially in. This nation, we call very old people children. We have. It's an African mindset. We like to call people children, and they believe their children. So you find someone who is fifty years old, but simply because he's the youngest of the siblings, he believes he's a child. In my world, a child is anyone who can make decisions and has the psychological and the mental composition to be able to appreciate the consequences. Once that happened, you have stopped being a child. So in my world, the child is not eighteen. Eighteen is too far, too far, too far. And let me tell you this, with all due respect, the Asians have given their children this mentality. They three teenagers like adults, and it's translated to a lot of technological advancement in Africa. As much as we have done well, this is my continent, this is my nation. I'm proud of it. But let me tell you the truth. Until we begin to culture a sense of responsibility early enough. In people who will not have the time to begin to think posterity. So someone of forty is still thinking about himself. Someone of sixty is still thinking about himself until days before death. Then they start talking about the next generation. People only talk about succeeding generations days before death. You know, I'm about to go now, So let's see what have we done. No, No, Jesus, as he arrived from age thirty, he lived his life not for himself. Read your Bible. Everything he did was for the world. For this cause. Came I to this end? Was I born to be a witness to the truth, and so on and so forth. I'm praying for you, in the name of Jesus Christ, that you will begin to think posterity. Shout amen, you will begin to think posterity. Eccleasies this chapter seven and verse one very quickly. Seven and verse one. The Bible says, a good name, I like this is better than precious ointment, and the day of death than the day of one's birth. In Proverbs chapter thirteen, I believe. In verse twenty two, please give it to us. Proverbs thirteen twenty two, it says a good man live that an inheritance to his children's children. Are we together and I have taught here? You may want to make reference to my teaching redefining inheritance. Redefining inheritance. It's a very powerful teaching, especially when you now begin to focus on posterity. I teach that there are five things the Bible calls inheritance, and if you cannot transfer these five things to those that come after you, you have failed. The list of those five things is physical estate. So the only thing you give your child, or your subordinates or your mentees is money or estate or a job, then you really destroyed your lives. The first of the five inheritance, I will give you two, and then I'll leave you to go and learn the rest. Number one your spiritual convictions. The first thing that is worthy of being called an inheritance is your spiritual conviction. I know, Abraham that you will teach you children my way spiritual convictions, Allelujah. Number two the leverage of your relationships. The second thing that qualifies to be called inheritance is the. Leverage of your relationships. Don't allow those who come out from you have to go through the labor of building the leverage of relationships. So you'll find the remaining The five of them are way together. Now let me tell you the truth I think I made this statement during the Birdday broadcast, that you must understand the brevity of life on earth. Remember that you must understand the transient nature of our life and our sojourn here p. Ninety and verse twelve. So then teach us to number our days that we may apply our hearts onto. I want to encourage everyone to listen again to my message, the Law of Seasons. It's a message that impacted upon my life. It still does. Once in a while I find myself listening to it again and praying the Law of Seasons. In that teaching, we. Did an exegesis on Pharaoh's dream seven years of plenty followed by seven years of luck, the lean cows the fat cows. And Joseph told Pharaoh that these dreams, two of them are the same dream. It is because it is established and nothing can be done about it. One day you will not be here. I don't mean you will die. One day the. Stage will push you out. No matter how relevant you are. Please look up. Let me tell you something about succession and posterity. One day, whether you like it or not, you will not be the one on the stage. But you can remain relevant if you invest in the one who is on the stage, because when you are moving out of the stage, the one who is there will draw you back and say, because you invested in my life, as I rise, you will also become a beneficiary of my growth away together. Now, Jesus is not physically on earth, but his name resounds on every year through the faithful people who have become beneficiaries of His love and his sacrifice. One day you will not be here on stage, but sadly, one day, if Christ tarist, you may not be here physically. Let me recap a statement I made during my birthday broadcast, as I seek to bring discharge to an end. Every dead body on earth, I said, is a salmon. Every dead body you see on earth is a salmon, a constant reminder that our destiny clock is ticking, and one day it will stop. As much as we hate hearing this, it is the truth. One year ago, there are many people who are alive on earth. Some of them heard what I said today They've gone to be with the Lord, some to eternal rest, sadly, others to eternal damnation. You must live your life with posterity in mind. The hymn writer, I will always make reference with him we used to sing it a lot. Thus will we pass from the earth and its toiling, it says, only to. Be remembered by what we have done. I don't know anybody who stretch his hands to receive all his money as he died, say giving my money, let me die with it, giving. My certificates, let me die with it. I am chief. Come back after many years, you will find bones decay. They call it the remains of that person. Ladies and gentlemen, God has given us the opportunity to number one be alive, number two to be saved, number three to be enlightened, and He's given us an opportunity. To live meaningful lives. It is my call first to a graduating students, and then to all who have come to celebrate with them, and all who came to church on site, and the many who are connected online, that you will begin to think posterity. Perhaps the Lord is given me this to speak to a father, a mother, an elder one, or a selfish person who is all about himself or herself and not thinking about the next generation. I think it's fair enough if I use the opportunity to speak to our politicians, begin to think posterity. There's only so much a man can a massive his bank account. There is only so much clothes a man can wear. Allelujah, there is only so much Great people think about the next generation, mediocres think about themselves. This must be an orientation that must be captured. In our academic institutions, are political institutions, even the church or religious institutions. We must begin to look less to ourselves and more to the generations that are coming, and use the gift of time, the gift of influence, the gift of access that He's given us now to perhaps build something better for those. Who come before us. That where it took you ten years to arrive there, shorten the journey for someone else. Don't make the journey longer. Don't allow your children have to change their names or their surnames because of the kind of father who give bet to them. Don't allow people to. Not be associated with you, because you are almost like a cancel of a human being to their lives. It is my prayer that at the end of my life I would not just be known as a man of God who did great things for the Kingdom around the world, but that in addition to all of those testimonies, it would be that I live my life loving the Lord and inspiring a generation to love him, to serve him, and indeed to be a blessing, like the Bible says in Genesis twelve and verse three, in these shall all the families of the earth be blessed Now for the reason why we are here. We're here tonight to witness the graduation ceremony of our precious ones, our brothers and sisters. They have submitted themselves in the last six months thereabout through very intense structured mentorship through the graduates. You have paid the price in rain in sun, many of your professionals in your own regard having to and over backwards to attend the lectures. I want to use this opportunity to say very big thank you to the families of these ones here. It's a great sacrifice allowing your spouses, or your children, or your loved ones. It's literally have to change so many things in your lives, and we want to thank you for your understanding at various levels. Now they're about to receive the importation, and I want you to know that importation is beyond a religious ceremony. It is beyond a laying on of hands of people. I am a product of not just the wisdom that has come from the world, not just the wisdom that has come from those who have gone before me. I am also a product of importations. What is importation. Importation is a transference of spiritual possibilities. The meaning of that is that when God, according to Isaac chapter nine and verse eight, when God wants to bless people, please let me have your attention. When God wants to bless a people, the way that he does it is by laying his hand upon one person, and through the sacrifice of alignment to watch this, he brings that one person to a position where he's able to bring out that which God has. Deposited within him. And distributed to us many people whose hearts are willing to receive. When God sends a word to Jacob Isaiah nine, verse eight, he lights it upon Israel. These ones have been trained, and now is the time for them to receive the distribution of graces that God has so invested upon us. By the message of God, he has made us teawards of these graces. There are a plethora of graces that God has allowed us to be able to capture through our sojourn with God and this one's are about to experience and impartition of those graces. Please, I want to encourage everyone that through these moments of importation, I like us to be in. Prayer for these ones. To the graduates, you've prayed, you've fasted, You've prepared your spirits. Some of you are going into ministry or are already in ministry. Some of you are going into business or already in business. Some of you are career people. God himself is responsible for the allocations. But I want to charge you in the name of Jesus, like you have learned that as you receive of disinvestment, let it be a plus. Let it be an addition to your life. Let it not be the basis of pride, Let it not be the basis of flesh, but that with this anointing, God will turn you all into science and wonders. In the name of Jesus Christ, I have done this NonStop for the last twelve years, and I have seen the wonder working power of God. As grace comes upon individuals, ordinary men become infernos of fire, and tonight will be no different. In the name of Jesus Christ, So I. Like everybody in one minute, please can you pray for the students wherever you are. I like you to sow a seed of prayer. Let me have your annoyting oil. Please, let's pray for the students. Let's pray for the students. We're getting into a very very definite moment, a very prophetic moment in this service right now. Please pray shell up under pracket type of lack of paratus Satar. Tonight is the night where Saul turns to Paul. Tonight is a night where. Destinies will begin to blowsom begin. To flourish by the Spirit of God. Pray for them. Not those who will be serving in the ministry will be men and women. Who will be on fire. Pray for them. That those who will be distributed across the various strata of human activities. That grace will come upon them. Grace will come upon them, that which is locked up within their spirit will find expression, And that as hands are laid upon them, it will not just. Be a touch. It will be an initiation into a realm of limitless possibilities by the spirit. And let me tell you, as you pray for them, you may not be one of the graduating students. But the realm of the spirit responds to hunger. Whilst you are seated, you can pray desiring hunger, desiring this importation. Using the tool of hunger, you can draw to yourself this anointing. See them resting in this blade, Oh oh, I see them resting. Lash Oh, I see them resting. I see them resting. I remember many years ago I was in a reinhard bunker crusade. He didn't have the opportunity, I didn't have the opportunity to have him lay hands directly, but I was there with hunger. I stood there for six hours, no seats, I dropped any man of God mentality, and I was looking at a man who carried what I desired for my assignment. And I remember somewhere in that service my eyes were opened, and for the first time in my life, I saw a visible manifestation of the Holy Ghost, like a bird hovering round that crusade crown. Something had rested upon my life. Let me tell you the truth. Impartations are real. Men can carry mantles, men can carry graces. Tonight, in the name of Jesus, upon this apostolic and prophetic grace, I lay my hands upon this oil. Let it not become an ordinary oil again. Let it be a conduit that transfast possibilities that upon every head. In the name of Jesus, Let this cloak of the apostolic and the prophetic, let it rest once again for the purpose of this assignment. And I pray that everyone who will receive this importation, let it stay, let it last, let it grow, let it be not shot. Let it produce witnesses. Indeed, in the name of Jesus Christ, by the power of the Holy Spirit, a new season, a new season. So every one of us, please, once you are seated and like you to be in the place of. Prayer, you will pray for these ones. They are going to be lining up and every one of them will be receiving this importation. It will announce a new season in their lives. You did not just come to witness, You also came to encourage them. And the greatest way to encourage them is to lend your prayer. Our global family watching from any nation and everywhere, viewing sentas television was stepping into a very prophetic time, and you may be watching right there. The power of God can move through the airwaves and hits you right where you are and turn your destiny. Redefine your destiny. Father, in the name of Jesus, let your glory rest upon this place. Let it be a new beginning for your people, in the name of Jesus Christ. I see, I see, I see, I S S. S see. See the mantains of Pasta. To the. Seas a pop concise, and. I see.

We like distinguished guests, cats of industries, our spouses, our children, our parents, and our friends. In a world shaped by chaos, compromise, and ambition, there remains secret places where men and women are trained not just to lead, but to serve, not just to speak, but to hear not just to rise, but to bow. One of such secret places is the coyn Onia School of Ministry. The opportunity, please, the opportunity of being students has been for most of us. The privilege of a lifetime. These past six months have been both a wonderful learning experience and absolutely a grueling threshing floor. You can say that again were the curriculum of coyn on Your School of Ministry transcends any other educational experience. It is not just theology and theory. It is an excavation. Each module is designed to do it. We met with him and in leadership, our ambitions bowed, Our egos were confronted, and students learned that leadership begins with servant and can die with that character. In ministry, we learned. That it's not about platforms bird purpose, not stage lights and cameras, but the discovery of our individuality in our secret places. Who were thought that ministry to God precedes ministry to. Men absolutely, And then we moved on to personal transformation, silent but surgical. It mirrored our inconsistencies as men and women, and it healed them with true, with truth and love, confirming that the highest form of transformation is truly the love of God made manifest in human vessels, in finance, not prosperity preaching, but kingdom stewardship, wealth with purpose and money with the covenant mission to advance the Kingdom of God on behalf of every king and priest was commission our very own father, mentor, pioneer and teacher, apostle, and now, of course doctor Joshua Nimat Selmann, in whom we see divinity even in your humanity, and the genuine passion to see Jesus revealed and glorify through the transformation of humanity across every strata in life. We sincerely appreciate you for your absolute surrender to God, your posture behind the cross, and your patience to mentor us holistically. And to our phenomenal coordinators and lectures, Pastor Isaac A. Denoy and Pastor coyode Ario the faculty of Ministers. We're thankful for your example, wisdom, and humility. We honor you, and we appreciate each and every one of your sacrifices. To our children. For the nights that you went to bed before mommy and Daddy came home, we say your big Thank you to our spouses, our wives, our husbands, our partners. We couldn't have done this without you. We would come back and you would just be sleeping, but you were patient. And to our families and friends that shared us on when the going got tough, we say thank you. And now to they twenty twenty five class of coin on your scholar ministry, the avoid that count for us, my dear, as kings and priest, we have been made for such a time as this. We carry something beyond us our loved ones, our coordinators, our Father, apostle, doctor Joshua Salman, and God himself. They have invested and poured into each and every one of us. May we always remember to trust that which we now carry. And now we go not because, as we proclaim, the Gospel and a pulpit or anna are known to men, but to God in the temple. As we build empires from debris and build businesses, as God entrusts us with his children to rebuild the pillar called family. As we write and rewrite the narratives through media, art and entertainment, and every mountain of influence, please remember this. The world is not in need of more talkers. The world groans for witnesses, men and women who carry fire, revelation and evidence. We are not mere graduates or numbers. We are apostolic emissaries, living epistles written by the Spirit, trained in the secret place, and released for territorial takeover. So we go into cities to build, into churches, to edify, into bodrooms to influence. We go into families to model Christ. We go not with am. We are the ones that prove in sickly places and go into marketplaces to interfree them. We don't echo culture, we will confront them. We do not seek platforms. We became alters. Class of twenty twenty five, ambassadors and witnesses, warriors, kings, priests. We are arrows drawn from His quiver, released into systems, into nations, now into history. This is not the end, this is the beginning of our sending coin shine us to celebrate the Class twenty twenty five Coininia School of Ministry. I'll put your campus ten years o m. Twenty twenty five Jesus revealed. Thank you and God bless you. Alle Louis very much for following through to this point of the service. Aliluiyah. I'm about to speak a blessing over our lives. There's no service that should be without an opportunity to receive prophetic words. Or before I do that, allow me a minute or two to make the altar call. I am a firm believer that for every service there are people sent by God to be saved, to encounter Jesus and to begin their spiritual journey. Life begins with Jesus. Life does not really begin at birth. Existence may begin at birth, but life begins when you encounter the giver of life himself, Jesus. The Bible says for God soul of the world, that he gave his only begotten son. He said that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have life everlasting. Seventeen John three says, for God did not send his son to the world to condemn file to receive the importation, to receive our words through the chairs, the rejoicing, the crying, the receiving. Whilst you sat quietly wherever you sat, or perhaps you were following online, the Holy Goos began to minister to you that what you just saw was a template of what your life could be. I agree with him that it is so, but not under every condition. The Bible says God desires that all men be saved first, and then they come onto the knowledge of the truth, and that when you find that truth, it is able. To build you. Allow me the honor of leading you to this Jesus, the one who's changed my life, the one who's changed the life of everyone you saw admire in the kingdom, the reason for which we are gathered, the wisdom behind the things that we have done, the giver of the grace that you have seen at work. Tonight, I'm going to make the aut call, and I want to be very that call is made. You should be the first to run to Jesus. I'll make two calls in one. Number one for those who are saying, apostle, if you will give me an opportunity. No one has allowed me that room, that platform to make it right with Jesus. But now, on hearing you, I want to come and start afresh with Jesus. And then call number two, those who are saying, I recall being born again giving my life to Jesus. But something happened along the way, and right now I cannot say that I have a functional relationship with Jesus. I want to rededicate my life to Jesus. All of you in the main auditorium across the balconies, and then all the other auditoriums as many who can make it to the frontier. As I make my call, I'll count one to five, and I'm looking for bold, serious people who are saying, I know that my life can be more than it is now, and I want to make it right with Jesus. Once the front is filled, then I'll request all those, particularly those outside once please do join in making your declaration of faith. Are you ready? Now I begin my count one. Let's celebrate them as they come. Please celebrate someone who is bold and courageous enough to begin, or bold and courageous enough to begin afresh. Jesus said, as many. Who will come to him, he will in no wise cast away coinn only you should do better than this. Let's celebrate them, Let's encourage them. God bless you, my brother, God bless you, my sister Apostle. I want to come, but I'm not sure. If I'm saved, you can join them. There is such a thing as the assurance of salvation. Young, old, male, female, rich or otherwise, you can make your way to Jesus is the Way, the truth, the life. I see a few people coming. Please make haste double up. God bless you, make haste double up. I want to lead you to Jesus, the one who is able to change the four final count. And then we pray five. Let's thank the Lord for all these ones, and for all who are scattered across the overflows. For those who are online, I'm about to pray. You can join them in prayer. Let me request you, my brothers and sisters, lift your hands high above your head as a sign of surrender. Say this after me, as loud and as clear as you can. Say Lord Jesus one more time. Say Lord Jesus, tonight I have heard your word, I have seen your power. I declare that I love you with all my heart. I believe that you died for me. I believe that you are the son of the living God. I believe that you rose again for my justification. Right now I receive Jesus into my heart as my Lord, my savior, and my King. I declare that the power I go forwardever and backwards never Amen. Keep your hands lifted, Father, thank you for these ones. Your word declares that as many who will come to you. You will in no wise cast away. These ones have come with humility of heart, declaring your lordship over their lives. I pray, by the authority of Scripture and in honor to your confession of faith, that your sins are hereby forgiving and in the name of Jesus, I declare your bona fide recipients of the life of God. The grace to leave the victorious Christian. Life is imparted upon you, and I pray that from tonight you begin your walk of faith victoriously. You go from glory to glory, and grace to grace. The power of Saint Satan hell and the grave is broken over your life. Welcome to a new. Season in Jesus' muchless name. We pray, Amen, Please look at my right. A number of you did not pray the prayer. Don't worry. The counselors will help to pray the prayer of salvation with you. But move to my right. That will be your left from where you are the Lord. So one more time, I want to say thank you to all who took their time to visit with us, particularly those visiting for the first time and those who came to honor and now graduates, thank you very much for the time. I pray that God will. Bless you and rejoicing will never depart from your home in Jesus name. I know that as usual it's customary for students to have their photos, their snapshots. And all of that. Your awards. I might not awards. Your certificates already ready immediately after the service, you'll be guided on how to receive them. Please do cooperate with the department's concerned, and then you'll be allowed to take your photos with yourselves and friends and family. Albeit let's do it with decency and within the boundaries that are created, so we don't make the whole rowdy. Praise the name of the Lord. Just a few announcements this week, be traveling to a few places. Usually I would not make the announced union under Bishop form and good Man. So Tuesday Wednesday went Taraba. From there we moved straight to Warri. Thursday, we're being worry preaching for Papa Ile just one session and then from there Friday straight I moved to my village for a few hours again to dedicate a seminary there. So we have one of our great father's He told me he was. A friend to my grandfather. Can you imagine that? And so he built it's one of the oldest men. I think. If I'm one of the oldest men.

So Friday, all of you who are my village, I will be there fine weather, and then we return back. And of course, once we return back, we now begin to brazlep for the sound of revival. Allelujah. By the way, please let's have the posters. Let's pray for a minute over the sound of revival. So the sound of revival, New York will pray over New York.

God has mandated us to reach the nations and I'd love to see several people groups represented there and so please, even if it takes one person representing your people group, let them come and we trust that together we'll have an awesome time in the spirit. Let's stretch our hands for one minute and just speak over the sound of revival New York, the sound of revival Calgary. In the name of Jesus, the Son of the Living God, we thank God for a powerful time. Let it be a time of signs, a time of wonders. In Jesus' much less name, we pray.
