MATURITY AND STATURE (FIRM FOUNDATIONS) PART 1 EPH.4 13 RFCM ANAMBRA-NIGERIA

It's never fall on the ground a man. Behold, a prophet has come to our land today. So joined me to work onto the microphone my own friend and our father, the Aposto Salmon Joshua. H allelujah. Let's set be the name of the Lord. It's my joy to be here. Amazing, amazing, amazing, allelujah. Bishop. I want to say thank you, thank you to you and your wife for this opportunity. All I see in this place a hungry people who are truly ready to receive. And it's an honor to be bringing the word life, the power, the grace of God. And so thank you so much, sir, for making this happen. And I honor every man and every woman of God here represented standing on the existing protocol. I trust that God will do us good. In the name of Jesus, praise the name of the Lord. May I request that you lift your hands to the heavens and cry a cry of desperation. Father, give me an encounter tonight. Go ahead and pray. Give me an encounter tonight. Father, give me an encounter tonight. The encounter that turns Saul to Paul, the encounter that. Turns see us to Peter Hm. We encounter that turns Abrahm to Abraham, Sarah to Sarah. Someone go ahead and pray. Fabolize your desperation, fabilize your anger. The Bible says, blessed at aid that hunger and first after righteousness, for they shall be filled. For everyone that asked, receiveth. To him that siks, you will find. To him that knocks, the doors shall be opened. Her ballatu suprantica forlatu siatar. One momentute you are crying onto the God of heaven. Chapranteskali capran balatu sabras gibata hiatar select de bantu sabraskiatar, the de barantu ziatar. Let the veil be torned from my eyes, wash my eyes with eyes south and caused me to see shape. Gata tapran taparn take alato chapra, take a ba shagarato carnelegata the branto chapra lanto sabano hiata. It Jesus Mighty name, we pray in Jesus Us name, we pray. Will look to Yahweh. Yeahweh aho is yahweh Yahweh will to yahway Yeahweh forever yeahweah yeahway. I look to yahway yeahweh my home piece yahweh yeahway we look to hweah yeahweh for. Yahway. Father, we ask you tonight to speak to our hearts. The Bible declares that the entrance of your word gives light and it gives understanding onto the symbolk. We pray that you will. Quicken us by your word in the name of Jesus, and that will go from glory to glorious. We behold you without a night, that you'll be glorified in the midst of your people. And we decree and declare that our spirits and our. Minds have been opened, and we grant your spirit unrestrained access. In the name of Jesus. We declare that Jesus will be glorified. Amen and Amen. Give Jesus a big hand clapping Allelujah. Please you may be gloriously seated. Amen. So this is a camp meeting, and the meaning of that is that. It's been declared by God's servant in partnership with the Holy Spirit, to be a feast of light. It's a time that is dedicated to learn the ways of the kingdom more perfectly, to access intelligence and to be thorough in your spiritual knowledge. Achieving this will require a number of things, many of them already on ground, the presence of God, the wisdom of the Spirit through his world. But the one that is most required tonight is your attentiveness and your hunger. The Bible says they heard the word just like we did, but the world did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. The administration of God's wisdom and power depends on the level of receptivity from anyone who intends to maximize that experience. And so let me plead with everyone to minimize, if not completely avoid distractions. And let's set to with the word of God and trust the spirit of Grace to help us tonight. In addition to all that we have received from the men and women of God, and in addition to all that will be coming, it. Would take your participation. He told Marth, I said, Math and Math, you are worried and upset about many things. He says, one thing is needful, and this Mary has chosen to sit at the Master's feet. And I'm praying tonight that God's world will change your life forever. In the name of Jesus Christ. I want to recap very quickly on a statement that you may have heard me say often that God's method has always been his word. His method to lift is by his word, His method to bless is by his word. His method to empower is by his word. So when you reject the word of God, you have rejected many things together, your potential for lifting, your potential for illumination. Allelujah. And it's important that we receive that and grafted word, and it will help us to gain stability and to gain stature. In the spirit in Jesus' name. Now my session will caught across a number of discussions. The goal is to help us to be people of stature, to be people of understanding, to understand the ways of the kingdom, and to understand God's program. And so I like for you to please lend me your attention as we begin. Wherever we stop tonight, will pray and we trust God to stretch it through as far as the sessions can take. And if we do not exhaust what I intended for us to exhaust, I'm sure that God will create another opportunity. If we're together, say amen, let's look at two scriptures very quickly. The first will be Efficient Chapter four, Efficient chapter four, And I like us to start with a statement that Paul made in Ephisos while mentoring the believers. Efficients four. Will look at verse twelve and thirteen. Efficient chapter four. Will I have a projected oh thank you Efficient four not John seven. Okay, beautiful. So Paul began to speak part of his apostolic ministry and his ministrying to the church in Ephisos. And now he gets to a very delicate subject, and he says that when he descended, he ascended, he led captivity captive, And the Bible says, he gave gifts to men, and like you may have known, those gifts are not just talent, not spiritual gifts. The gifts are men that were given to men, allelujah. And then the Bible says those gifts were structured such that some were called apostles, some called prophets, some called evangelist, some called pastors teachers. And he says this is why he gave those gifts for the perfecting. The word perfecting is the word maturing, the building up of the sayings, for the work of the ministry, for the. Defying of the body of Christ. The word edify is also used as the word profit, the profiting of the body of Christ. That's the team till we all come, so that there is such a state like this in the spirit, and that if people corporately, not individually, can come into this state, till we all come into the unity of faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, onto a perfect man. Then he says, onto the measure of the shore of the fullness of Christ. May that be your experience in the name of Jesus. Now to produce, to produce an apostolic, thoroughly furnished community of believers, there are certain essential bodies of knowledge that must be known and thoroughly understood. Please lend me your attention that in seeking to produce a community of believers that are number one apostolic and number two are thoroughly furnished. There are a requisite body of spiritual knowledge that, if omitted in your training process, will never leave you a person of stature and power away together, growth in the spirit is very, very, very programmed. It's not something that just happens by wish. There is a body of knowledge that can turn anyone whatsoever to become a person of stature and grace. And among the many things that you need to learn. Now, you don't need to know every spiritual knowledge to be great, but there are certain things the Bible calls the things that are most surely believed, and if you fail to gain comprehension in those areas, it will abort that project of attaining onto maturity and stature away together. It's important that many believers desire to become people of power, people of grace. They trust and hope that God will do much with them, and. The sincere desire. So you find it captured in their prayer. You find it captured in their zeal. As far as church attendance is concerned, But for many years, and after many years, you find people who are congregants, but they are weak, they are ill prepared, They are largely ignorant as fast spiritual. Things are concerned, and if at all some. Are knowledgeable, there are a lot of gaps in their spiritual knowledge. So there seems to be a lot of free lancing of spiritual knowledge. A little knowledge on prayer, a little knowledge on fasting, a little knowledge on demonology, a little knowledge on consecration, a little knowledge on prosperity, and wealth, a little knowledge on influence, and that knowledge is not aggregated to produce. A victorious believer. So if you prop into that believer, he's not necessarily ignorant, but he's not a person of stature because he does not have light that is sequentially arranged and aggregated enough to drive thatness. Are we together now? Prays the name of the Lord. And so the Bible says God in building his church so that there would be this kind of gap, and then he gave gifts and open those gifts to a unique dimension of his grace such that they're able to understand his structure and bridge that gap that under the influence of the Holy spirity. In partnership with those gifts, any believer. Can attain onto the unity of faith, of the knowledge of the Son of God to a perfect man, and onto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, and to be apostolic, especially in your faith work. They're among the many bodies of knowledge that you need to know and learn. There are three of them that will be the ankle of our discussion under my session, and I want to just read them out like a course content, and then we'll see. How God will help us. Number one, the first body of spiritual knowledge that every believer who desires to be a witness indeed to be apostolic, and you approach to the Christian faith, the first body of knowledge that you must understand or one of the major killers, is God's prophetic program. The degree to which you become useful to the kingdom, Ah, It's predicated on how thorough your knowledge of God's prophetic program is. And let me tell you this, ladies and gentlemen, the knowledge of. God's prophetic program is what will give value to every other pursuit in the kingdom. Your study on prosperity, your study on influence, your study on divine health. It really does not have any spiritual value until and unless it is connected to the will of God and God's prophetic program. This already will diagnose the reason why many many believers get frustrated across various subjects. For instance, faith, I don't want to go ahead of myself. We have taught faith in isolation to God's will and God's program, so it has become a spiritual avenue to bate God with our loss in hope that we will use the name of Jesus and use the word of God to achieve our loss. But faith was never supposed to be a proposition or an avenue to receive things that you just desire. There is a vating process, and that vating process is the will of God and God's prophetic program. That means the thing that you desire because you desire does not mean it to be given to. That desire must have a space in the will of God and God's prophetic program, else it will not be answered. Someone understanding already. So that's the first area we need to look at, a thorough understanding. And I'm sorry to. Say this with all due respect to ministers of the Gospel. There are many of us who run churches conferences like this, and we have no idea as to God's prophetic program. A few of us have pieces of the. Ideas, but it's not wholesome enough to plant the energy and the driver. So we keep inventing all kinds of spiritual activities in hope that God will accept one. And you see, there is already there is already a program. God is not about to think of a program. There is an exact program, and like you'll be learning, I hope in the course of our discussion. There are three levels of the anointing. There is the anointing that comes upon the believer by reason of being grafted into Christ. There is the anointing that comes upon a believer in of your office. But there is the anointing that comes by reason of discerning God's program and aligning to it. So a person can be a sincere believer but never featured in a particular program. This is not backsliding. It is that you have failed to discern what God is doing past season, and so there is no need to be anointed as such. Are we learning now God's prophetic program? Number two? The second thing that I hope that will be looking at a will learning already is the concept of the vessel we will be examining, hopefully by the spirit of God, the kind of man God is looking for. There are many people who want to be used by God, but it's important for you to know that in desiring to be used by God, there is a certain kind of believer that God is looking for. There is a quality control system in the spirit that is non. Negotiable, and if you do not attaind by grace onto that stature, you cannot be used by God. It doesn't mean you are not a believer, but you will not be used by God. Allelujah. Isekiel Chapter twenty two under started said I sought for a man. This is God speaking prophetically. I sought for a man to stand in the gap and to make up the hedge so that I would not destroy the landlord I found on. There is a kind of man who can birth the purposes of God across a territory. There is a kind of believer. Not every kind of believer can birth the purposes of God. Are we together now in manufacturing products? How many of you know that sometimes when you're manufacturing products, there is a quality control system, and there are certain products that have to be picked out because they do not pass the test, and if allowed, will destroy you of our ow product. And this is how it is in the spirit. Many people believe that just because we are in Christ, it makes everybody usable. It's not true. There is a kind of man God is looking for. And I'm hoping in the the name of Jesus that in the course of our discussion, God will help all of us who evolve by grace into that kind of man that God is looking for. There are men who are looking for God, but there are men God. Is looking for. Are we together now? Number three, which I'm hoping and trusting will be able to cover tonight, I'm just reading for you the cost content of our discussion. We will hopefully look at the strategy for birthing the prophetic program of God. It's one thing to know what God wants to do. It's one thing to know his prophetic program, but it's another thing to understand the system of execution. How many of you know that divice strategies are as important as the prophecy itself. You can have an accurate prophecy, but if you don't align with the spirit to understand its strategy for execution, you will still fail, as if it's not God that spoke. So God can tell you go left, but you need to. Also receive the strategy that makes your going left efficient. Otherwise you can fail and it will be that is God that sent you there. Allelujah. There are many people failing right now because they received an accurate prophecy from God, but they did not wait enough to receive the strategy that was connected to that prophecy. So He can tell you you will bring Jericho down. But you can invent his strategy to bring Jericho down and waste your time and die, and it to be recorded that God sent you there to die. But Joshua said, no, the prophecy is not enough. You must tell us what we need to do. And he said, in this one you will not fight. You will go. Around seven times, and on the seventh day you will go around seven times, and then. You will raise a shout allelujah. Believe us, sometimes we over intellectualize spiritual things, and it makes us to want to invent. You just assume that this strategy fits this prophecy, and then you'll begin to execute it. Or because it was a strategy that was given to someone else. You see, strategies should not just be borrowed carelessly. No, they have to be vetted by the wisdom of God. It's someone learning. Now pray the name of the Lord. So I'm hoping and trusting that God will help us to look into these things, and I'm praying that this will add greatly to our spiritual understanding. Can we pray with the spirit in one minute, I'm about to start my teaching. Now wherever we stop, Thank you. Jesus sheilam bratus ki apaharadu theater. Please pray the spirit of grace will be resting upon you for someone whilst you are hearing this word. It will happen for you as it where in the Book of Ads that while bitter yet split these things, the. Holy gooes fell on them that hurt him. In Jesus. In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. So let's start with God's prophetic program. We talk a lot about revivals, We talk about awakenings and the move of God. We talk about territorial invasions. Of the power of God. And there is such a phenomenon as that in our work with God. But most people have not taken the time to study from a theological standpoint, the frame work the entire scope of what we call God's prophetic program. For that, it's important for you to know that God has an agenda. God has a prophetic program, and very quickly, I will be as simple as I can, because I desire for everybody to receive a we together. God's prophetic program affects three groups. Three groups number one. The first group that is affected by God's prophetic program or God's prophetic program was tailored to three groups. Number one, the world of unbelievers. The world of unbelievers, the first dimension of God's prophetic program is for own believers. Number two, the second dimension of God's prophetic program is for the church. And then the third and final aspect of God's prophetic program is for society. Let me repeat myself again that God has an agenda. God has a prophetic program, and that there is intelligence in understanding that program. It is not cheldless and it is not arbitually. There is a prophetic program for the world of un believers, and it must be understood. There is a prophetic program for the church, and there is a prophetic program for society. You are not supposed to to mismatch the program. If you carry the program for the church and execute it on the world of own believers, you will produce something that is not salvation. If you carry the program for the world and try to execute it on the church, you will produce a weak people without growth. You will produce a licentious and careless people away together. There is a context that if you do not go beyond, you will not become a person of power. And there is a program that is for society. So if you do not execute the program that is for the unbelieving world, you will never have soul saved. You will not have people come to the knowledge of Jesus away together. The danger is that there will be a generation that will die off and allow another generation that does not fear God, because over years, over decades, will find out that sole winning does not really happen. But there is a program for the church. And if that program is not understood and executed, let me tell you what will happen. You will have a lot of salvation, but there will not be growth, There would not be maturity, there would not be transition of men from believers to witnesses. We're together now, and when that transition fails, it will eventually become the blind leading the blind. Are we together now? Yes, it will just be the most available person manning the altar to serve the grace of God, not people who have been thoroughly furnished by God. The danger is that the congregations will eventually become a reflection of the ignorance, the laxity, the pride, the canality, the carelessness of the person who has an opportunity to hold the mic because there was no system for growth and maturity. Are you following me now? And then? Is a program for society? And if the church is not apostolic enough to know we will our societies will become like Sodom and Gomorrah. Even if you are like Lot. Lot was a righteous man, but the program for society was not executed. It did not affect his personal righteousness, but he still paid for it. You can be a good man in a society that is depraved and antichrist. He almost lost his daughters, he eventually lost his wife. It had nothing to do with his personal concentration. It was at the program for society. Was not executed. Who understands what I've said so far? Let me be a simple again and a quick recover that God has a prophetic program. His profetic program is beyond soul winning. His prophetic program is beyond evangelism, is beyond conferences, is beyond revival. These are pieces of the program. There has to be a way of understanding the full picture. That way you can easily find your space in that program. And where God grants you an opportunity to serve, your execution will be flawless because you understand the picture. So there are those who believe God's program is only to sinners, and as sincere as studies, they are destroying the entirescope of the program because they are hindering the program for the church and the program for society. There are those who believe God's program is only for the church, and in so doing the world of unbelievers. Are not being affected by the power of the Cross? Are we together? Then there are those who believe God's program is only to society. The danger is that there is an imaginence of successful people from that program who do not fear God. They are not people who have consecration. They are not people who understand spiritual things. Are we learning? It is from the knowledge of this program that our salmon should come. It is from the knowledge of these programs that our books should be written. It is from the knowledge of this program that conferences should be organized. As a believer, you are not given the liberty to just invent what you think people should learn. There is a curriculum, and that curriculum is leading somewhere sellure to understand the program already produces a man of God who will not be effected. You don't have to be fake to destroy God's program. No, no, we have an idea that once you are not fake and your heart is sincere, God's program was prospered to you know, there are many good people who are the reason why the kingdom is suffering. It takes beyond this sincere hearts someone learning already. I hope I'm simple enough. So there are many people aspiring to be past us, and I'm telling you with every sense of respect. You sample past Us with all due respect and ask them what do you think is God's program? Someone will say evangelism. You are not wrong, but you are not complete. Another person will say, well, I think that God wants me. God sent me and said. Go and raise me people, and you are not wrong. But that is too vake. There is no exactitude and precision. So by what formula are you raising the people? And how do you know when they are attained onto that statue? When a student gets to the university, right from admission, the lecturer already knows what the student will become. There is no lecturer who is wondering what the student knows that I will become a medical doctor. I am not yet a medical doctor, but I have the liberty of already seeing by foresight? Are we together? Student knows? So every day while the student comes. To class, he may not understand because but is motivated by the fact that there is a picture, and the lecturer who is teaching him is not in confusion, and he knows that day learning does not talk. But a day comes, his certificate is given and that person is called doctor. How do you know that your members have gotten to a point where they have transited from believers to witnessice? What curriculum did you use? What system of vetting did you apply? It is not just because someone is prayerful. It doesn't make him mature. No, it's the pathway to maturity, but it doesn't automatically mean maturity. The profits of Baal were prayerful. Are we together now? So this is one area where the Body of Christ is seeking to be apostolic. We must go back and re examine God's prophetic program. Not from a theological standpoint, and I'm speaking to people who are very learned. Theologically, and I'm very happy. From a theological standpoint, there is a concept that the Body of Christ has come to understand called the Great Commission. Have you heard that statement before say after me the Great Permission. It's not in the Bible, but like rapture and like Trinity, it's a concept that have been coined together to help believe us understand the scope of the commission that He gave onto the disciples. Now let me tell you this, and with all due respect, there is a. Major theological flaw in our describing the Great Commission, and this immediately is responsible for the kind of products that are churned out because there is a major theological flaw, And by God's grace, I'm going to help us put things in perspective. For most believers when they attempt to describe the Great Commission as part of God's agenda, our minds go immediately to Mark chapter sixteen and verse fifteen, and Jesus said, please give it to us. Mark sixteen fifteen. He said, on to them, go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature. Verse sixteen. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved. He that believeth not shall be dombe, and so on and so forth. But you see, there is only one aspect of it. There are three scriptures you must understand to understand the full scope of God's program. I will give it to you very quickly. Number one is Mark chapter sixteen. From verse fifteen and sixteen is ys to go and preach to all creation. Now we can stay all night examining the scripture. If you back up to verse fifteen. He gave them the command. The command is go. He told them where to go all the world. He told them what to say to preach the gospel. Are we together? And he told them who to preach it to to all creation? The only thing omitted here was the strategy. He left the strategy because times and civilizations will change, but everything remains the same. Are we learning now? Second scripture that is connected to the Great Commission? Are we still here? Go to the Book of Matthew. Please let's look at it very quickly. The Book of Matthew when enjoying showers of blessings. But it will not interrupt your learning. Be patient with me as I build this foundation Matthew chapter twenty eight. The second company of the Great Commission that doubles as the pathway to understanding God's prophetic program is found in Matthew twenty eight from verse eighteen. Media give us verse eighteen Matthew twenty eight from verse eighteen, And Jesus came and speak onto them. Each shall receive power. After that the Holy Ghost has come upon you, it says, and ye shall be witnesses. Now, notice he sent you the first time as a preacher. He sent you in the second instruction as a teacher. But the third one is sent you as a demonstrator or a witness, a validator of a claim. If you do not understand these components, something about your approach to God's program will be corrupted, and it will not be wholesome. Am I speaking to someone already? Go and preach, Go and teach, Go and be a witness, a validator. And that one right there is the ministry of power. And chapter four and verse starty three, the Bible says, and with great power give the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. And great grace was upon them all. So let me tie up what the Bible calls the Great Commission. I'm praying that someone is learning tonight the Great Commission. Here's what it is. I told you that it affects the program of God, affects three groups of people. The world of unbelievers or see us the church or the body of believers. Are we together? And then society. This is the true concept of apostlic Christianity, the journey from those who are outside of Christ, the maturity of those who are in Christ, transiting them from infants until they become witnesses. The end point of the believer's journey is when you become a witness, not a believer. Being born again is only the beginning of the journey. Like you be learning, Are you seeing that now? Yes? And then the transformation of society, transformation of nations. You can be born again, but if your territory does not experience salvation, what happened in Sodom and Gomorrah, I repeat is the same thing that will happen to you. That is the reason why you can have a territory that is full of believers, but there's still high levels of crime, there's still high levels of corruption. It does not necessarily mean there are no right trust people. Is that the apostolic component of God's commission to. Society has not been executed. Who is understanding mesofa Because you see the reason why some people don't seem to have an assignment in the body of Christ is because we have not unveiled the dimension. Of God's program that necessities the assignment. It looks like the only way to serve God is to preach, and there are only an handful of people who can be on the altar. So there is a congregation of people who become and remain follow us forever, whereas there is a dimension of God's program that unvails their assignment. Are we learning? Now? Let me summarize. God's prophetic program and what we call the Greek Commission in fact, in simple terms, let me make it the Great Commission. Now. I will say that very quickly, and then we catch up on some things. If you're following me from the front to the back, shout a loud amen. Write this down, please. The Great Commission is a mandate given by Jesus to the disciples and noun to all believers. The Great Commission is a mandate given by Jesus. It was to the disciples, but now it's to all believers to reach the entire globe with the Gospel of Salvation. I'll slow down and let you write. I want you to write that the Great Commission is a mandate given by Jesus Christ to the disciples and now to all believers to number one. Reach the entire globe with the Gospel of Salvation. Number two to bring nations to the knowledge of the truth and to spiritual maturity through discipleship. Now, the Great Commission is a mandate that was given by Jesus to the disciples and all believers. To number one, to take the Gospel and to bring nations to the saving knowledge of Jesus, if you write it that way, through the Gospel of Salvation. And then to bring nations to the knowledge of the truth and to spiritual maturity through discipleship that is. A second component. And then consequently to bring territorial and societal transformation. I'll repeat myself again for your writing that. The Great Commission is a mandate given by Jesus Christ to the disciples and nouwn to all believers to number one, reach the entire globe with the Gospel of Salvation. Number two to bring nations to the knowledge of the truth and to spiritual maturity through discipleship. Number three, to consequently bring territorial and societal transformation. Let me tell you the truth, ladies and gentlemen. The man who truly desires to bring joy to the heart of the Lord is the one who must understand what I just dictated and must be about doing it. Singing on to God is wonderful, but that's not what gives him complete joy. Rolling on the ground and saying thank you Jesus is wonderful, but that's not what gives him complete joy. The man who is a true lover of Jesus must take the time to understand this that I. Just read out for you and be about doing it. Number one, bringing the Gospel of salvation to all nations. Number two bringing nations to the knowledge of the truth and onto spiritual maturity through discipleship. And then number three bringing about territory and societal transformation. If you're following me, so as say amen, so immediately, and in summary, you see that there are three components to God's program, three components to the Great Commission. Number one, world evangelization. That's the first part of the program. This affects the world of sinners. It is not an assignment for evangelist alone. The same way cooking is not for a cook alone. Cooking is not for a chef alone. Cooking extends to anyone who is hungry? Am I right on that? Number two discipleship, the maturity of the saints. This one is a very serious one, the maturity of the saints. And then number three territorial transformation. Bringing your territory to a point where they embrace the value system of the kingdom. Are we together pray the name of the Lord. Now let me tell you this, ladies and gentlemen, the average believer who gets born again Bishop is not men talk into having this orientation Number one. They believe it is not their business because they are not in ministry. Number two, they believe that the template God created for the believer is to become an adult while being educated, hopefully get married, get a job. If possible, or start a business. And if I told you are sympathetic to the things of God, build a house for God while you live your life the way you want. Then hopefully live a healthy life until you finally transit. This kind of understanding is part of the reason why God's program does. Not find its place the way it should be. The average young person in this place, as wonderful as you are, and I love every one of you with all my heart, but you will be surprised why the average person came for this meeting. Some just came to experience power. Some really just came for the excitement of it because of the men and the women of God invited to come. Some young persons, maybe can post people or younger ministers standing are hoping that in the course of these meetings they will receive importation to go back and execute an attend that they do not understand. Are we together now? Yes? And it doesn't mean they are evil. The gentleman just knows I have a little revelation. All I need is power, and once that power comes, I hopefully can do something. Well, there has to be exactitude to our understanding. You know why we don't see the power of God the way we used to see because those who experience the power of God. It was not because they first said more than us. It was not because the prade moderns. It was their degree. Of alignment to this program. Most of those who worked in the healing anointing are called healing evangelist, not just healing preachers, because that healing ministry followed their desire to see soul saved. Are we together now now? Today? We desire the anointing and the grace independent of the assignment that the annointing was connected to. Just for the fun of it, either saw that we hopefully can become people who are renowned, and so on and so forth. God is curifying your motive by not everyone. There are some them He redeald kings for their sake, saying it's not just talking about a man who felt them after an importation. It's talking about an immunity that you enjoy on account of your being invested into a program. So you see the reason why most of our claims are sincere. But they are without spiritual intelligence, and that's why we don't get results from them. So we isolate the promises of God from the vision that is connected to those promises, and then we use prayer in an attempt to manipulate the hand of God to still get those things to work in our lives. For instance, the capitul on a thousand he will belongs to the Lord Father. I most prosper I'm not being sarcastic, all right. So God now comes to you there is a spiritual immigration system and is beyond a pure heart. Why do you need the money? And I figured I've suffered. It's too small a reason. Kingdom Come is not represented in that desire, and so already that desire. If at all God shows you messy, he will bring you out of that program. But you are never never going to experience the best of God. How about a preacher saying, Lord, we content for expansion. Now, what is expansion with rest to God's program? Define it more churches, more branches, more names, more titles, an accreditation among the powers that be. Are you seeing now that many of our prayer, even though we invest energy, it does not carry weight in the spirit because God's program is not represented. Jesus in teaching us how to pray. Said, when you come to the place of prayer, there is a protocol, there is an understanding, There is an orientation. It says our Father, which are in heaven, Hall Lord be your name. You come with the spirit of reverence. Then it says, your kingdom come and your will be done on earth. Then give us this day our daily bread as part of the project leading to your kingdom coming. Lead us not into temptation, as part of the project. For your Every other thing was connected to that Kingdom come. If someone learning now, so many believers have invented their pathways to doing business with God. For instance, Lord Aman, all shine this church I'm serving. You give me a husband and all of that. And as sincere as that is, you see that that is a product of a preacher's mistake. That person right now is like a bad student. That is a report card showing the ignorance of someone. He may be sincere. So the first people to repent in this conference are the preachers. Are we together that we have to come back and say, Lord, it may be sincere, but something is wrong. With our approach. As a pastor, you don't just wake up on Sunday and say. What do I preach? I've not preached on giving me a long time, or I have not preached on the Holy Spirit, or have not preached on revival. No, the whole this really gives you insight. But intelligence based on God's program should define your trajectory. You are building a people to become something, and you must give them a definition. You should not be one year and two years in church and not be able to defend your say, what have you learned about prayer? How accurate is that knowledge? What have you learned about demons? How accurate is that knowledge? What have you learned about consecration? What have you learned about character? Have you learned the dynamics of power? If your ANSI is no, what were you doing in churche? Praise God? I'm just trying to lay foundation. Even if I stop at the foundation, that's fine. I've not really started my simon. I'm just trying to get if someone understanding what I'm saying, pray the name of the Lord. Ants believer us to drop their prayer requests, and please don't feel insulted. I'm not. I don't speak evil. When you see me challenge you is in love? Are we together? Anks believer us to drop their prayer request right now and open it and read. It, and tears who come out of your eyes? What they are writing is proof they are not growing, because many of the things they write as prarie requests are rewards of growth. It was never supposed to be a prairie request if they were under a certain system that grows them. If a small child writes a prairie quest and says, I want a husky voice, I want beard on my chin. If an adult looks that that prayer request, what do you think is wrong? With that child. He's a child. Are we together now? Because some things will happen naturally with growth. Who is learning? Now? Ladies and gentlemen, I submit to you, and I mean the istia and I'm happy a man of God. I hope and pray that there are enough men of God in this place listening to me. Because the miracle will start from us. Every man of God has access to at least a sizeable. Number of people. It makes era widespread, but it also shows that you can correct it quicker. Because Africa, Nigeria and even the East we are a people who are loyal to spiritual authorities. That means error can easily be corrected once the person who engineered that mistake is humble enough. Are we together? The fact that some of you are frustrated that people are not shouting and falling on that they are anointing by now, because that's your expectation, it only shows the engineering. Of your spiritual understanding. Are we together? I can tell you there is a cry of the spirit, and the first dimension of that cry is that the body of Christ needs to be restored to understanding God's program, that God is not a charm or a genie, God is not some religious thing. Well we can I'm twisting to fulfill our loss and then just religiously giving glory and run our lives on our own. Then needs to be a revisiting of the. Foundation, the construct of the average believers understanding, including the program of God. And I thank God for conference. It's like this because it's giving someone who is sincerely about to make a mistake and to rethink your approach. I've not come to the church yet. I'm even still speaking about the world of unbelievers. Now, let me tell you this, ladies and gentlemen, do you know the average believer is not evangelical in his mindset? Are we together? Nineteen nine percent of evangelism happens on the pulpit after a salmon. The average believer is not evangelical. And it's not that it should not be. It's that we are not being trained. Occasionally, the man of God feels guilty, and when he feels guilty, he now talks be Win's houls, wind souls, and you can see that there's no passion there. So the average believer look at this vast crowd, thousands of people here, Bishop, imagine from a statistical standpoint. There are about eight point six billion people on earth. Let me give you a few statistics, and out of that eight point six billion people are growing. There are about two point six billion Christians recorded. That includes backsliders, That includes. People who just feal their form and they put Christianity that also improves pseudo Christian sects. Are we together two point six billion out. Of about eight point six billion, Please look at me, ladies and gentlemen. When did Facebook start? When did Twitter start? When did Instagram start? But they brought an idea that has been more effective than the gospel. Facebook has been received. We have given excuses of language barrier wars, but in the midst of that language barrier and wars, without the conscious participation of the Holy Spirit, with out who says and programs, apps have entered. They have been received into the phones of those who rejected Jesus. It means something is wrong with the entire construct of our soule winning strategies. Desiring to win souls is not enough. There is a strategy. And if Jesus intends for this Gospel of the Kingdom to be preached as a witness to everyone for the end to come, then it means the Holy gost most guide us. He is the lord of the harvest. The Bible says, to pray, there has to be a strategy that will bring soul winning a mass. Did you know that there is a generation that is corporately rejecting Jesus corporately as a generation. I'm not talking of a few people or a sect. There is an age dermography that are saying, as far as we are concerned. Carry your Jesus and carry your church. The generation of our parents and all those who are from fifty plus, it was a generation of loyalty. Even if they don't believe you, they won't argue. They just respect you and go back home and discuss with your wives and say this thing, this man of good. Do you agree, she says me to I do agree, But they would respect you. But there is a generation that has been taught. They've been giving wings. They are vocal, they're outspoken, and they are rejecting Jesus while we're falling under the anointing and jumping and calling ourselves great people. So winning are we together? If everyone here from the front to the back, received the orientation of so winning and we were serious about it, a numbra. Enugo is too small, too small to have to. Wait ten years for a mighty revival and a mighty harvest. I am telling you it is only that as men of God again, men of God, forgive me tonight, I'm adding myself to all of us. I think God is just coming as a refiners fire. Let's receive that refining too, Praise God, Men of God. We have trained members to gather souls for us, and then when they gather, they now idolize us while we win them in their presence. We have not given them an apostolic orientation, so they will pass souls everywhere and say I invite you to church on Sunday, my pastor will save you. Because they've not been taught that they have the power in partnership with the Holy Spirit. To draw many to salvation. Is someone learning now that aspect of soul winning? Let me tell you the only way you can change society is to bring the power of the cross. You remove the power of the cross, no matter what kind of economic policy you bring. The power of the cross is the only authorized access point to break the. Hand of darkness over men. You cannot use therapy and counseling to transit men from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of his dear son. There are ministers of the gospel who the last altar called they remember making was during a coup, said last year. I'm not being sarcastic. He's a challenger. Are we together? Now, let's talk about discipleship. Am I wasting your time? This is the second layer of God's program. Please allow me dwell for a moment here discipleship. Discipleship means many things to many people. For others, discipleship is incorporating into the ritual of a christ set and that you become dangerously indoctrinated, and you become worst off. In fact, in many regards, that's not what I'm talking about. In clearer terms, I'm talking about the project that much choice a believer, molting you like a reptile until you become a more superior version of yourself. Now let me give you the progression. Please, everyone lend me your attention, and in doing this, can I ask for three people, well dressed and well behaved, Three people please come. Let me use you for example, three thank you. One stand here, one stand here, one stand here. All of you facing the protocol. Thank you, thank you. You are wearing white, so be the last person. Ere No, you stand now, everybody watch those at the back. If you can't see me, I'm sorry, but I'm sure. You are saying. Now these three groups, let it be the same person, but under different conditions. I want to show you. I want to Johney with you. Please, in the name of Jesus, give me your attention. I want to show you the project from salvation until you become a witness. If you do not understand and this, you cannot raise my tea. Men, This right here is the key to raising my team. Man, hallelujah. The thirteen point of every believer's journey, Please listen. The thirteen point of every believer's journey is as an unbeliever, he says, in iniquity, did my mother conced me? Nobody inherits salvation from the womb. So automatically, if you believe that you were born saved, you are already in error. I will give you an opportunity to come and be born again later on here now, but yes, what happens, So you come for a program refine us fire and a preacher is preaching under the interest of the Spirit. Watch this. The Bible tells us that the Holy Spirit has a ministry to unbelievers. Are we together, that he will reprove the world of seeing, of righteousness and judgment. And so while the preaching is going on, watch this now the Holy Spirit. It doesn't matter the subject of discussion. The Holy Spirit is convicting the sinner, the own believer, and then the only believer has a chance to use his will to respond. Because God will not force his program on anyone. He will not force salvation on anyone. Someone you, I hear you are not saved. I can make a call. The Holy Ghost can convict you, but you will have to participate. I said before you life and death. I said before you blessing and cursing. It's a choose life. It's a gift God gave every man. The prodigal son lost everything, but he still had his power to choose. He could not change his life, but he had the power to choose that his life be changed. And the moment he made that choice, everything was restored. Not to not say I don't have anything, it's not true. There is one gift that only death can take away is the power of choice. You don't have money, you may not have fire, you may be a backslider. Don't be discouraged. There is a gift Satan cannot steal. It's called the power to choose the moment. You can choose. You can choose to be anointed. You can choose to be serious with God. You can choose to change. The prodigal son said, how many highed servants as my father? And I'm here feeding with the swine. Here was a power of choice. I will arise. He didn't say. The Holy Goost said arise. He didn't say, Satan, stop me from a rising. Satan could deceive him to live a Riotos life, but could not touch his power to choose. I'm showing you a gift that God gave you in this place tonight. A man of God who is not serious can choose to be sealed, and the Holy Ghost can empower the choice. It's called the enabling grace. If someone learning tonight, now watch this, I'm showing you a progression. So this gentleman gets saved. Here what happens to you when you get saved? This is where you are the moment you get saved. How do you get saved by confessing the lordship of Jesus over your life. The formula for salvation is found in Romance, chapter ten, from verse eight to ten. If that has not happened to you, you are not saved. Even if you are an elder and church. I announce to you with every sense of love, you are not saved. There is no other name under heaven. You can't give your way to salvation. It has to be by a conscious declaration of the lordship of Jesus over your life. For the Bible says there is no other name under heaven given on to men by which we should be saved. Is someone learning now? You will be surprised that there are many pastors that do not know how people get saved. Do you know? I need to work with time, But listen to me. I hope you know. Not every information about Jesus saves you. There is an exact information about Jesus. You must confess to be saved. Calling Jesus a prophet is the truth, but it does not save you. No. Calling Jesus a good man is the truth, but it does not save you. Calling Jesus a righteous man is the truth, but. It does not save you. Calling Jesus God is the truth, but it does not save you. Here's what Peter said. Let it be known to you or Israel, that these same Jesus you are crucified, has today been exalted as Lord and Christ. There is an exact content. There is an exact information about Jesus. You must admit and confess. To be saved. Who understands me so far? But now let's let's go to our discussion. So here you are. You got born again in a conference like this. Let me tell you what you are called in the spirit. You are called a believer in me, but you are an infant. You are called a believer, but you are. An in The Bible says, as many as receive him, he gave them power. There is something called power to become, is the power of transformation, the power to become away together. You are a believer, but you are an infant. And the Bible says, as an infant an heir, for as long as that air is a child, he deferred not from a slave, even though he be Lord of all. Please listen to me. If you stay here all the days of your life, you can be twenty years in church, and yet in the spirit This is where you are. You are saved, but you are an infant. You can take communion, you can be called an elder with all you respect. You can even be given an office in church. But spiritually speaking, when you get saved, there is a set of spiritual dynam that transits you to the next level. Who understands what I'm saying. So you are when you are saved, you are a believer. What you are called an infant. Now watch this. The journey from here to here. This right here is called transformation, and it does not happen automatically. This is salvation. This is the same to you, but you are not yet transformed. Are we together? Now? There are three ministries that you must encounter to move from here to here. Please do not forget this. Anybody who gets saved and is just left like that will never become an effective believer. Three ministries Number one the ministry of the Holy Spirit. Number two, the Ministry of the World. Number three the ministry of a teaching priest or structure mentorship. Write that down. These are the three ministries that transit you. And to the degree to which you find them, that is how fortunate your Christian experience is. For others. They are never told like it was in Acts chapter nineteen one to four. They are never told that there's any Holy ghosts beyond getting safe. So they live for many years and they do not ascend in the spirit. They do not become people who transform, people of power, because nobody told them that the initial salvation experience was only the beginning of the journey and not the end the ministry of the Holy Spirit. When he the Spirit of Truth is come, he will guide you into all truth. And that happens through prayer. So every time you hear me talk of the ministry of the Holy Spirit, do not isolate it from the prayer ministry, because that is how that fellowship happens. Is someone learning. Now this is gentlemen, God born again and was fortunate by the Spirit to be exposed to the ministry of the Holy Spirit, was fortunate to be exposed to the ministry of the world at chapter twenty and verse thirty two. And now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the world of his grace, which is able to build you up, and then to give you an inheritance among them that are scientified. And then the ministry of the Teaching priest Jeremiah three fifteen. I will give you past us or shepherds according to my heart, and they will feed you with. Knowledge and understanding. Can I tell you the truth. The most fortunate thing that can happen to a believer is to be saved and to find your way under the ministry of a man of God that fears God, has character, and is a teaching priest. For many people, the beginning of their pain in the spirit started from here. They got genuinely saved. But it so happened that the man of God whose grace and life and ministry they came under, became the reason for their stuntedness. I will give you an example of one of such persons. In the Bible. There was a woman that was bent over for eighteen years. She was a church member, She went to church, she had preachers, but she did not change. One day, a strange preacher called Jesus came to that assembly and saw the woman bent and said, who has been mentoring you? Woman? That would loose from your infirmity? And he said, ought not this woman. Somebody did not tell her you were a daughter of Abraham. Somebody did not tell her. There is an implication. I made a promise to Abraham, and in Christ you are a partakere of it Galicians three twenty nine. And if ye be Christ, then are ye Abraham said and heirs according to the promise? Did you, guys not tell this woman that in Chrench she has your opportunity to be free. The preacher you are under can define the possibility of your arriving to the place of power and stature in the spirit. Can I tell you the truth? God gave you the power to choose. It is within your power. I don't mean to insult anyone, but it's within your power to love God and your destiny enough and set the kind of teaching priests that you submit your spirit and your understanding under Here is where I express pain. So please don't feel insulted. I'm not here to tie down and insult people, but. I'm just teaching you the truth. Now, imagine this guy gets saved and he comes to a church pastort by Joshua. Selman and all this guy here in the morning. It's a testimony of how much my shoe was brought. A testimony of this happens. And I said, mister man, just run around and enjoy I said I was a service. One year, two years, ten years. This guy becomes taunted. Do you go to church? Yes? Who is your pastor? Joshua sermon? So what have you learned now? Pray well? And I'm like that, I just learned that we should be good people. You know, if you are good in this life, you hear people saying why, sayings, and yet they. Come for our Sunday, Monday, Tuesday. God is going to george us men of God. He will say, I gave you access to the minds of people. What did you teach them while you were wasting your time talking about yourself, living exaggerating things? What did you teach them? And younger ministers, be careful who you mentor I will be careful who you learn from. Some of you are sincere people, but you are about to fear of because you have you have plugged your appetite to things that would. Destroy your path. Great potentials, but it's about to be wrecked because of some level of indisciplined and carelessness. You go to various campuses now and see some of the young guys that imagine presidents, you will almost cry. Some of them started well, but they watch someone online they listen to someone. They read a book that corrupted their appetite. They read a book that destroyed that humility. I'm praying that this conference will be a redeemer conference, that it will rest so many people back to the patterns of God. Is someone learning, so never forget this man gets saved and he encounters the Holy God. If a man gets saved and you are not introduced to the ministry of the Holy Spirit, this is beyond training. Tongues you have, you have it like a mountain has stood before you. There is no possibility for evolving without the Holy Spirit. He is the one who holds you and guides you into all truth. He is the cure for error. He's the one who kills prayer lessness. How do you grow without him? The Holy goss is not for men of God. The Holy goss is not for preachers. The Holy goss is not for those who want power. Jesus needed him. It is pride to ignore him. Jesus the Word needed the Spirit, and then the ministry of the world. The Word in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Allelujah. The Bible says. Verse three, all things were made by him. Everybody, say all things one more time, say all things. All things were made by Him, and without him, outside of his influence, was not anything made that was made. That means when you are not taught, ladies and gentlemen, to understand the loggos. Of God, This right here is the most concise compendium of the thoughts of God, the speakings of God. This is your instrument of transformation. It begins to re engineer your understanding that until now your mind is full of concepts and ideas. Some came from culture, some came from your past, some came from ill mentorship. But as you submit yourself to the ministry of the world, a transition, a transformation begins in your mind. Now, this is what happens. Back to my example, my friend, So he gets born again. Watch this, I'm describing someone now, and the Holy Ghost comes into the life of this man, and in honor to the world of God, he begins to grow line upon line, precept upon precept. And fortunate for him when you have a teaching priest that hears God and understands the scope of his assignment and lay bossing word and doctrine to learn the mysteries of the Kingdom, to understand doctrine and to communicate it with integrity. This is what happens in the spirit. You begin to grow every Sunday, every mid with prayer, every night Virgil, every conference, there is a transition. It's slow. What is happening. Soon now or later? Your words are changing, soon now or later, your mind is changing. You now get to a point where you are called a transformed believer. Transformation has happened. Transformation is a name given to the process that makes you become like Christ in experience. Are we together so you find out that this man there is a change in character. Not from a religious standpoint, there is a change in orientation, whereas this man was full of anger. We are angry people in our family. I mean a Christian, but I'm an angry man. You annoy me, I will box you, I would remove my church cloth. No, that person is in need of transformation. How many talking people have you seen pray and as soon as they say amen, you want to run away because the next thing they will do after that amen will scare you. It's not that their salvation is in doubt. Is that the life of God you receive within Your spirit depends on transformation for its. Riches to be revealed. Are we together? Now? The life of God is like a software. If not in the presence of sanformation, it remains dormant, and it remains docile within your spirit. You want to see the power of eternal life, watch it work in the life of a transformed believer. So there are some of you here. Your issue is not that you are not saved. You are saying, but you have not been transformed. How do I know you've not been transformed? Your words have not changed, your understanding has not changed, your appetites have not changed. Are we together? And that includes preachers. You say anything, and oh sorry, it's a mistake. It's not a mistake. No, it's not a mistake. It's a well you do something from your spirit. It's not a mistake. You will forgive yourself or you will draw it again. The way to do it is to use the world of God as an instrument of transformation. Now watch this. When you get here. At this point, you begin to look like Christ in experience. It doesn't matter whether you are Euroba or Ego or Houser. In fact, one of the ways you will know you are like Christ. Is that people will be confused as to where you come from, because you have been so elivated the negative traits that are connected to your bloodline and the territorial limitations no longer walk the anger that comes from where you come from, the loss that comes from where you come from. They know that nothing good comes out of Nazareth. It is only that he that comet from above is now above all, above all the limitations. Many of the therapists we conduct on people, what they really need is transformation, and transformation happens under the tripartite combined influence of prayer and the ministry of the Holy Spirit, the Word of God's tratachically taught, and the ministry of a teaching priest. Pastors, this is how you help those who get saved. Expose them to the ministry of the Holy Spirit, expose them to the world of God, line upon line, and. Expose them to the ministry of a teaching priest. Now, when you get here, transform believer. But that is not all. Everybody, Please look up. The danger of remaining here is that your mind will be sound. With truth, but you will not be able to defend your convictions. Because you are missing the next step called empowerment. Empowerment gives you the credence to defend the. Things that you believe. Are we together people who are transformed but are not empowered. They will lie, but they will say so many things they cannot defend. I know God will do it. I've read it in the Bible. I know God can change a man's life. You are right, transformation, but make it happen. There's no empowerment. So after he was done mentoring the disciples, he said, Tarry, Tarry, there is still a face. Don't be in a hurry. You have the message, but if you live this way, you will return with a shock. Tarry. When the Holy Girls came, it did not start any explanation because Jesus already Transformation is like expanding. The vessels for the oil to fall. Can I tell you this, ladies and gentlemen, there are many intelligent people. They would teach in a healing conference with all due respect, and my God, I mean scripture after scripture. But when all is said and done, they share the grace with the sick still going back, they share the grace with someone in the name of Jesus. May God change your life. And sincere people who have heard the word now say amen, and they leave and nothing happens. What is missing is empowerment. Who is learning. So the worshiper, because she has been touted the world of God, she can write powerful songs. When you hear the songs scripture compliant, powerful songs well articulated with intelligence. But she would raise that song and you just know that this person loves God. But there is no life in it because this is a missing ingredient. These three groups of people is why this conference was made. There are those who need to start this journey. There are those who are saved, but they are wondering why their Christian experience is taunted. What you need is transformation. There are those who have got in here, many of you, I presume, but you need to be in defense of the things that you know. And let me tell you something. With your annoyting, you don't assume it. If it is not there, it is not there. It's as simple as that. You don't have to say I carry a healing annoying h h. I carry the wisdom of God. No no, no, no, no no no. It's like saying I'm an adult. It should be obvious, except if you are sick. When you see an adult, you know, when you see a minor, you know a minor. Sometimes have you seen teenagers try to behave like that? There are still children, you just know that they're trying to You will need to journey with God. These are the people that he suffers no man to do them wrong. That he reproves kings for your sake, not just this, not just that. You will quote it for nothing and be disappointed because at this point you are not just a receiving person. I'm receiving no, no, no, Your life has been invested. Into God's program. It is at this point you really need prosperity. It is at this point you really need influence. It is at this point you really need strategic global relationships. Praying certain prayers at this level is canality. Not because the prayer itself is wrong. The version of the man desiring it has no value spiritually. If those things you come are we together now? So you see what happens to believe us as soon as we're saved. Because we pray the same play in church, it is not the same version that will receive all the answer. So when you say everybody pray, this man is praying. This man is praying. This man is praying, this man is praying. When the spirit of God brings answers, he doesn't just give it because you say in Jesus' name. He examines that state. This one is too much of an infant to grant him certain answers. So God, not a demon, will suspend the answer and replace your answer with a teaching priest, and you will be offended. God have been asking you empower me, and he says, go for that conference. That conference is said to go for is the answer because as. You grow, as you grow, as you grow, you will go for the conference and find out that the Man of God is teaching on prayer, and you hear things you've never heard. You go for another conference and the Man of God is teaching on the dynamics of the world. The Man of God is teaching on kingdom. See worship transitions are happening to you, and sometimes God traps you with kingdom service so you don't run away. He wants to keep you there, so he causes you to serve. And when the devil wants to destroy you, he brings offense in this department to this you need They don't like people. Sorry, sir, it's the law of human nature. It's not the fault of a church. There's no charge that is free of it. Take your mind a way and focus on your training. Is someone learning now, ladies and gentlemen. Not everybody can stand and say let mountains move, and then it moves. No, it's not what you say. It's the altitude from when you are speaking from. Five people can say the same thing and it will look like Heaven honors one and for one. It is suspended. The Lord is rich onto all the same Lord. The difference is these transitions. There are things in my life, by the messy of God I never had to pray for. When I understood this growth system in the Kingdom, I focused on my transitions and I focused on my growth. Now, let me tell you the truth. It's not as easy as the acting I just showed you, because the curriculum of the spirit is very complicated. Sometimes you can do a course in the spirit that is three months, the next course will be five years. So don't think you will ju just be jumping week after week and be transitting with every service. Depending on the nature of your call and the level of the trust God will place on you. There are times others will go and God will keep you down. It will say stay there, and you will stay there, not because you are failing, but because He needs to build you the formidability that needs to be established in your life. It's so serious. God will zoome his attention on you. You know why, because He wants to make you captain over his inheritance. It's not the same training you will have when other people are resting, like they train a military man. They tell you wake up and you are wondering, God, why are you doing this? There are many other believers. Why do you seem to isolate me? I'm explaining to some of you. The reason why it looks like God is taking his journey with you personal is a demonstration of the trust He has for you. Are you hearing what I'm saying now? Other ladies can entire relationships and go out, entire relationships. And go out for you. The day somebody comes, God gives you a word of warning. The reason is because there is something your womb will carry is beyond a child. You are going to carry the destinies of nation in a baby, and so he will seem to meticulously walk on you. If believer us know this, they will know how to count it all joy when they face divers things, because they will interpret everything from the lens of God's superior program, not what they are going through. Now you understand scriptures like and we know that all things work together for the good of them that love the Lord and those who are the called according to His purposes. Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you too. I don't have the time to share with you my encounters, but you see the journey to power, the Johurney to grace correctly? Is this description I gave you? It is possible that you can get saved immediately. And then you meet a man of God who sincerely just lays hands on you, and you find out certain gifts are activated in your life, but there's no transformation to maintain them. This is where all kinds of character problems start. So the man received a prophetic importation four months after he's saved. No mentorship, no growth, no consecration, no death to self. Are we together? And the man now, because of the charismatism of the gift, you now suddenly are ordained into a pastor and you have so many members coming board because of the cropesy of your transformation. You don't know what to tell them aside from just prop as sign. And they said, okay, so what else do I do with my life? The wisdom has failed in your life. Nothing else is working in your life, and you yourself, you find out that you want them and in the same state in the spirit. It's just that gifts came on you, so that potential difference to pull them higher, it's not there. Let me say this, I don't know why God is turning this. Meeting tonight into a pastor's conference. Never promotes people just because of gifts. No, no, no. A donkey can speak it empowered, but it cannot manifest character. Sometimes in all sincerity. Because when need of more persons and more people, we just look at the charismatism. Around people and quickly upgrade them. And sometimes let me say this, in helping people, this sundwhort seasoned there in the spirit so that you don't destroy their training using compassion. There are people that God, because God is kuilding them to become a kingdom financeeer. God will dippering his training and they will have a. Season of insufficiency and because of their tears and the pain of the training. You can come with compassion and destroy what God is trying to do. There's something God is killing in them so that he can entrust them with true riches. You interrupted the training, not using a wicked heart, using compassion. Tweter was going to use compassion to stop Jesus, and Jesus rebuked him. It's good to help, but discern what. God is doing in people, so that you don't keep giving people they harvests of seeds they did not sol It will not help them lend the waste of God. I don't know if anything I've said has made sense to someone decided. Now my question for you to and I thank you, my friend. You've been very, very faith for God bless you her. Now watch this. Some of you are like this gentleman here, but you have a great destiny. When you go to sleep in the night, you see the sun, you see the moon, and eleven starts vowing. It does not mean you will come into it. Visions and prophecies, even if God or they can be aborted, they depend on your corporation and the degree of compliancy through alignment for their manifestation. So don't just tell me the things you saw. I saw myself as a worshiper serving the grace of God to the nations. I saw myself as a kingdom billionaire funding the program of God. I saw myself as an apostle, a prophet. All of those things are wonderful. That is God's proposition to you. But it depends on your level of seriousness. Seriousness, seriousness as you commit to prayer, fellowship with the Holy Spirit growing every day, as you commit to the Word, as you submit yourself to the House of God, learning with humility under a man that is placed over your life. You are not wasting your time. You will look like a fool for a long time, but there is a record in the spirit, a testament of your diligence, a testament of your endurance. You are becoming more like Christ. The dealings in your secret place, God will reveal it to the Man of God, and he will bring topics by the Spirit sequentially arranged that keep building your life. Now, let me ask you a question, everybody, what do you know about the Holy Spirit and who taught you? What do you know about the world of God and who taught you? What do you know about consecration? And death to the flesh? And who taught you? What do you know about fasting and prayer? And who taught you? Do you just first because someone is supervising you and you don't want them to say you are not serious? What do you know about giving? Were you just a twisted to drop money or were you just copying what others were doing? What do you know about diligence? What do you know about relationships? What do you know about spirituality? These are the bodies of spiritual truth that produces men of stature. And if any one of these bodies of knowledge is omitted in your life, it will try slip to your fellure in the future. I was teaching out people on Sunday, and I said, you can miss certain courses in college and read up and pass your exams. But in the school of the spirit the course that you miss will be the loophole the devil will use in the future and haunt you. And when you begin to work with God, no matter how old you are in ministry, you must come back and pass through that class. Yes, sir, you must, Yes you must. You can be tacty, yes, in ministry, and you miss the cause on character. If God wants to show you messy. He will prepare an adult program in the spirit quickly while covering you. But you must pass through it. Who is learning what I'm teaching now? Sorry, the litter of my head from my glory then lifter up my head. Many years ago, I had a vision. As I'm looking at this cloud right now, it's really an emotional time for me because I remembering that vision. I was standing on an elevated, very elevated platform, and then I see an endless sea of people bishop like maybe times. Let's say a hundred of this crowd. And then they zoomed to my front and I find out that it's a voice of lamentation. It was not just a crowd gathered for nothing, and they were crying, and they said no food and no water. And I looked at them. I said, I mean, who must be this wicked to allow such a crowd of people with no food and no water. And then they pointed at me and said, you are the reason. I said me, I can't be that wicked. Why will I do that to you? If I have an opportunity to give it to you, I'll give it to you. Of a sudden, it occurred to me that I came into that room that I was looking through the window because some people wanted to hurt me, and I came there to hide. And I said, for the sake of these people, I would go out. If I perish, I perish. As soon as I opened the door, there was a giant maybe like maybe the size of Goliad, great bear, dead man, now I know is the Holy Spirit. He held giant hands and he held my tiny hands. He said, give me your hands and I will work with you, and we began to move. I didn't know that it was what I was describing for you. This was where I was. And yet I was seeing the vision of some of the things I'm doing today. But it would not happen just because it was prophetic. It's someone learning now, and then God will be showing me the ministry of the world. In another vision. This is what happened. Bishop, We're about to pray. There was a kiel of people and and less cue of people. And I held bread, bread that you know, slice bread, but it was with honey. There was a machine that was making the bread with the honey. But nobody could see it. I was the only one who could see it. And the people will collect the bread dripping with honey, bread and honey, and they would take it and call your family members and go back and join the queue. And I did not drive them. They thought I was the one manufacturing the bread and putting honey, But all I was doing was receiving it. There was a machine that was bringing it out, but I was the only one who was seeing it. Are we together now today? I can't piste those visions together and watch by messy how God began to transition me to the level where He's found glory through our lives. Today, ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you, transition in the spirit is not a gift. It is a conscious determination knowing that God has a program, and knowing tomorrow would take the time and deal with the subject of vessels proper and the strategy for God's end time program. Today we have the honor of serving the grace of God across nations and territories. But it did not start that way. And it is not just that it was law. It's not lack. It is not lock, sir, it is not locks. Every single one here can be strategically positioned in your place of destiny in your place of prophecy. Depending on what you do with illustration. I gave you tonight for someone. After this meeting tonight, you know that you have not been growing. It's time for you to embrace the ministry of the Holy Spirit, embrace the Word of God, and submit yourself with humility under the influence of a teaching priest, so that methodically you begin to be trained and. Built in the way of the Kingdom. For someone you have enjoyed commendable transition or transformation. What you need is empowerment. Don't assume empowerment. If the grace is there, he speaks. If the anointing is there, he speaks. Many years ago, I remember I went to pray for someone. Do you know, Bishop, I shared the truth with that man with all my heart. He was on a wheelchair, and after I spoke with him, I read scriptures and did whatever and I knew the man had failed to be healed. But when it was not time to pick him up from the wheelchair, I did everything the Bible. Says to do, and that man did not stand up. I felt so bad. I said, God, you would have just defended your name here. What is the meaning of all this? One. After teaching this guy sound exegesis of scripture, I took from the Old Testament to the New Testament. If the grace is not there, it's not there. It's as simple as that. It's as simple as that. Honestly, there's anything I've learned about the anointing is that when it. Is truly there, it speaks, speaks, speaks. If it is not there, If the grace to prophesy is not there, it is not there. You can try, but it is not there. If the graceful influence is not there, you can do every thing you know to do, and nobody will pay attention to you. There are graces and in the name of Jesus. Beginning from tonight and spanning all through the rest of this conference, we did not just come with a message. We also can bearing gifts. Crisis that will not just rest on individuals, but to deposit them upon the territory. This is part of the Apostolic ministry that by messy you become a conveyor of crisis, certain dimensions in the spirit that are available for reception and to as many whose hearts can be open, you can receive a deposit of grace and authentic investment of the Spirit that will redirect and change the narrative of your life. And of your ministry. My call for you tonight. Is that you leave this place with an orientation that God has a body. God has a program. He has a program to the unbelieving world and his expecting men, who talk more on that in our next session. He has a program for the church sayings believers, and that program is a compendium of the dealings of the Spirit that transits believers from inscience to weaknesses, from inscience to weaknesses. Pastor, your job is not done on your members until you can so successfully. You are called a wise master builder to the degree to which you transit them from insigns to witnesses, from an insience to a transformed believer, from a transformed believer to an empowered believer. And then purpose helps you define and change their names. They are no longer called believers, they are called witnesses. At that point God can trust them with his program. The highest honor of God can give a man is not to give you things. The highest honor God can give a man is to make. You a seaward of His prophetic program. That is the highest honor God can give a man, but he tests you with things. If you pass the test with stewarding things, then He will grant you the grace to raise men when you that's the test of raising men. The highest honor from a ministerial standpoint is that God will come to you and say, I want to change the east, and I'm looking for three men, and I have found a faithful seward in you. At that point you can now quote Salm eighty nine and verse twenty twenty one. I have found David, but you see, he found David Ellie, but it took many years to find his servant. God has found Joshua, but he's still looking for his servant. God has found the architect. What he's still looking for his servant. He said, I have found David, but I'm yet to find my servant. That day I find my servant, with my holy oil, I will adjoint him. I have found the musician, I have found the worshiper. I'm still looking for my salvat. I've found a preacher theologically sound, but I'm still looking for my savant. I have found a business man, but I'm still looking for my savant. The day he finds his servant in you. You will know because that is the day the holy oil will come on. You. Hold hands with someone by your left and right unless take a minute to pray, and then I speak over you. Is is it all right if we invest ten minutes to pray in the spirit? Ten minutes that decator praying in the spirit, no looking around, no moving around. You're about to receive something. Please open your mouth and pray. Open your mouth and pray. Gentlemen, thank you so much. Go ahead and pray everybody. Shapran, take a barratos kalia katar chapra tatat. Are the people of prayer in the east? Where are the men and women of prayer? Hold hands with someone unless failed for the next ten minutes shaktaaratu yata. God has a program. He's counting on you, not counting on pastors alone, counting on you to the degree to which you transit in the spirit. You make a failable a vessel that can be used by God. You make available a vessel that can be raised by God. There are still more lands to conquer. There are still more areas where men need to be stationed at. Become that man today, become that Johnny today sabalize of desperation. As we pray, chaps chapprenti cataparantos cuta brenda gada licross cutkata. It's called a ref mina's fire, super teplanto's yata. God is driving away the draws, driving a where the draws from the goal, so that it will come pure, refined lostros shapa lakata.

I contend for the minister of the Holy Spirit. I submit myself by grace and messy under the structured ministry of a teaching priest, learning line upon line, learning, precept upon precept. Here, a little there, a little, evolving, moulting, growing, accending, transitting. In the spirit, until I become a man of power, until I become a man of catchure. Someone pray. Pray for the sake of the people. You are sent to. Pray for the sake of the mandate that is upon your head. In jesus mighty name, we pray, shouting loud amen. In Jesus' much less name, we pray hear me. The East will not change because of desire. Desire is important, but like every other region, it takes modern desire. The East will not change just because of preachers. The East will not change to become a portrait of God's territorial expectation just because of conferences and conventions. Corporately, beginning from here, there are more than enough people to start. You can become like the foxes of Samson, set on fire and set a blaze, released to go and do much for the kingdom. Well, let me tell you where it starts from knowing that God has a program and that you most exalt this program beyond your desire, beyond your ambition. That must become the pithtal drive of your life. And then number two, walking with the spirit to engage this transition. As simple as this illustration is, it can mean the difference between your being useful in the kingdom and to God's program. Are we together or you're just existing? Even if you're in ministry. It can mean the difference between your prayer for more being answered or being stunted by the messy of God. Because answer to that prayer does not profit God's program. There are people who will not pray for members. Again. When you follow this journey the hand of God and the grace that will rest upon you, you will be captained over nations, not just a congregation. Allelujah, by the messy of God. I'm not s things that I read. These are realities that God has brought some of us to a measure of. And so the things that I have seen, the things that I've heard by message, the things that our hands are handled. This is a way that we show you. It is coming from a standpoint of conviction. I know it works. I'm not giving you an opinion. These are not conningly devised fables for someone. This is where you need to start from tonight. You need to go back and know the Holy Spirit. Cancel some ministrations, Man of God, cancel it. And take some time to say, Spirit of the Living God, I confess my ignorance of your person in light of God's prophetic call upon my life. I need to know you for someone. You need to go back to the world of God. Your knowledge of doctrine is very small. You do not understand the ways of God. Are full of opinions, popular opinions, Western opinions. Your thoughts are sincere, but they are not grounded on the integrity of God's work. There's no theological framework for your communicating truth. That's one of the biggest problems with Pentecostals. They are marketers of visions and prophecies, and with all due respect, most of them do not have a sound doctrine. Now framework doctrine is the cost co recordom for transforming people from in science to witnesses. You most communicate doctrine, and then, in addition to doctrine. The sound exegesis of the world a major part of my life. I was raised by the Anglican Communion, and so for most of you, the Anglican people here, we are brethren today. It is upon the leverage of that privilege that we are able to have a firm foundation and a strong doctrinal stand, so that you don't just teach nonsense, you don't mis represent the Holy Spirit. No, doctrine does not make you can now, it doesn't make you religious. It depends on what you are learning comes from the world. Doctriner Die, that'scalia, a body of knowledge that causes. His students to be as informed and to gain. The stature like the one who taught him doctrine at chapter two and verse forty two. They continued stedfastly in the Apostles doctrine. Can I tell you this, ladies and gentlemen, let me charge every man of. God here go and write a theological frame for the kind of believer you are producing. Let them know who you are attempting to produce. In partnership with the Holy Spirit. In our ministry, there's what we call the Cooinonia believer. It's a set of seven descriptions for the kind of believer that is being produced under that grace, so that you know when you are under disgrace, you are not just rising arbitually. It's not just about shouting him and the falling down. No, there is intention in building you. That's what makes a wise master builder. You see in the Anglican with all due respect to those who are not of the Anglican communion, that's what we call the apostles creed. As simple as that is, you see, it's a culture, it's a capture, it's a creed. It gives you a run down. It's part of the things that I most surely believed those days we used to have what we call false spiritual laws. I don't know if any of you interacted with it. It was used to teach evangelism. So I came from the Equa background. My grandfather was cooking, then Equad, then transitated into Anglican until God found me all together. So I thank God for that background because for some of us, that's the anchor that has helped to support our stability. Some of excessism and recklessness. That comes from pentecostal and charismatic circles can be tailed when we introduce doctrine. Most people do not know that God can be understood. Most people do not understand the framework of salvation. They cannot give a doctrinal articulation of salvation. And yet we turn our pastors from conferences and release them with impartation. No, sir, it takes more than we're in a collar to someone learning. You must learn doctrine, and you must learn the mysteries of the kingdom. Hebrews chapter six one and two gives us the six foundational doctrines. Upon which the Christian faith stands. It's important only teach people prosperity when they've not learned the foundation of death to self. You will destroy them. You will only produce a lost, driven canal people. Let them understand the way of the Cross. Then you can teach them all the exceeding great and precious promises. You will produce a wholesome, balanced people. I hope we have the time to do Revelations eighteen and nineteen, and perhaps twenty tomorrow. If we do have the time, he said, come and I will show you the Lamb's wife. Is that he showed me a city that was equal in length, equal in breath, equal in height. That is the Lamb's wife, a wholesome person of stature, like a bride, adawned like a woman preparing for her wedding. The church must rise from the place of spiritual amaturism. We must buy messy bring the church to a place of stature and perfection. It will not happen in one day, but all of us have a role to play. I announce you that the days of celebrity Christianity is over, the days of idolizing individuals. That those who have the honor of being at the forefront of God's program, we are only there because of the messy and the grace of God. And the purpose is to help by messy clear the way and spare headed path that path. That job says, there is a path that no lion has trodden, the eyes of the vulture has not even seen. There are vegin dimensions of the spirit that hold resources for the end time move of God. And I'm praying that someone would have been hungry and challenged enough tonight to join me in this journey that you would never plant to. You will act as though you are. Just one step out of the cave, regardless the mighty things God is doing. I don't insult your pedigree. I know that collected in this place are men or women deep in the spirit, prophetic, apostolic, theologically is town. I don't insult your pedigree. But ladies and gentlemen, compared to where we are going, there are still more lands to conquer, and we most trust God for grace while patting our bags for what He's done through us. We most press, like Paul, this one thing I do forgetting the things that are behind and reaching forward for the things. That are before me. I press, I press, campus fellowship, presidents, press men of God, drop MG and press worship us. Thank God for the liftings. But it's there's there's a lot. There are still songs in the spirit we need to receive that become the ladder's portals for revival. Don't arrive too quickly. There are still willing women, There are still mothers in the honor the order of another Prophetest You may not be on any television station, but you are the one who prays saying Maranata let the spirit and the bride come. There are people who will image. Let me challenge everyone. You have a role to play, will have to end for tonight. But I want you to go back looking beyond a man. Don't just say you heard a man pretty well, you would have wasted tonight. Go back with hunger for some of you. Let it challenge you to wake up in the night and say, Father, I'm available, but I want to be usable. The Bible says in a great house a great house, what makes the house great is not the vessel, is the builder. There are all kinds of vessels there. The house is still called great because of the builder. And the Bible says transitions can happen. A vessel of clay and wood. Can transition to a vessel of silver and even gold that a man can purge himself, and the instrument for that podging is called the refiner's fire. Away together tomorrow, by the message of God, myself, alongside many other preachers, will bring in other dimensions. I don't have the time to pray for the sick and to minister to people tonight. I know many of you have come with expectations. Let's leave that for tomorrow. And then we have the time, because we have to work with time so that you can go and rest ali do your but tomorrow, by the grace of God, here's what I want to ask you to do. Please, by messy and with all humility, every man of God you know in this city who can be here, please invite them. There are graces to be taken, there are possibilities to be received. When God sends a world to Jacob, it is because it desires it to be lightened upon Israel. When one candle light hundred, you won't even know which one lid which. The most important thing is that they are all late. So if God has granted access to our investment of graces some of you, this conference was organized because that last phase is yet to happen to you. You are sincere character integrity, but the requisite grace to make accurate defense of the Gospel is not yet there. And the Lord wants to all show you into a season of possibilities. There will be a plethora of graces depending on what. Your hunger can receive. And I'm trusting in the name of Jesus that, beginning from tonight, in addition to all the. Sessions passed and the sessions to come, that God will transition us. That when we hear of the story of Auji Rigan in the next one year, it will be like it was for Fiji Island. That there will be such territorial impact from your campuses, to society, to churches, that every Sunday, every other service day, it doesn't matter what church you go to hear there will be fire on the altar, Saidah, on the altar, in. The name of Jesus Christ. Now for tonight I speak a blessing over your life. I decree and declaim the name of Jesus. Receive the gifts of hunger, I say to you again. Receive the gift of hunger, the grace to hunger, after spiritual things I release upon you in Jesus name. I pray for you from the depth of my heart. May you step into a level of spiritual accuracy, accuracy the discipline to learn the ways of God more perfectly, to be methodical in your growth until you become a witness. Indeed, let the grace rest upon you in the name of Jesus. And for you as you are discussed. We call this nineteen Night of the Encounters Angelic Encounters the Vatican Encounters. You will go to bed and the blueprint of your destiny will be on veil for you. Next seasons of your life will be opened up to you in the name of Jesus Christ. I'd like you to shout a loud amen, three times one to go give Jesus a big hunt. Crap
