Good morning, everybody, the Lord who do us good this morning in Jesus' name. Let me appreciate everyone for the sacrifice that we've made to be here. That's the price it takes to carry the weight of God's glory even within this end time and very touching those who are sitting outside. The Lord who do us good in Jesus name, Can we lift our hands to heaven and asks the Lord for a visitation. Yet again, asks the Lord one more time for a visitation.

Breathe upon me. A landsobrand gabere to ski a fella's superstar. Pray for the hearing. Ear, the seeing eye, the ear that hears, the eye that sees, the heart that receives. Is someone talking to the Lord this morning, for in Jesus' mighty name, we pray God bless you, please be seated. So there are number of things in my spirit to share with us wherever we can stop this morning. Like I did tell us yesterday, this is a believer's conference, and the Lord seeks to bring us to the place of power, the place of wisdom, but that comes. Only through the channel of the world. Let me recap on a few things that I did say yesterday. Number one, I said how that there is a pre defined pathway in the spirit. There is a progression as far as the believer's faith work is concerned. Please do not forget this that in God's economy, you do not just start from nowhere into somewhere. There is an exact starting point for the journey of the believer. And we established that that starting point is an encounter with Jesus, the Son of. The Living God. Remember that that the moment you encounter Jesus, the Son of the Living God, you have begune your journey, your spirit work, your faith work. And that no matter how far you've been around the things of God outside of and without an encounter with Jesus, the Son of the Living God, you have not begune. The journey Jesus called himself the way he is, the way that leads you into that reality called the truth that will finally minister life to you. So Jesus said, I am the way. Are we together now? The fact he says, no man comment to the Father except by me. So I told us that the way to encounter Jesus is captured in what we call the message, the Gospel of Salvation. We did take our time to examine a few things about the Gospel of Salvation, on how that not every information about Jesus translates to salvation. Do not forget this. There are many nice things about Jesus, but there is an exact content that. Makes up the Gospel. Maybe to add one more scripture in addition to that which I gave you yesterday, you may want to consider First Corinthians fifteen, from verse one to four. That is about the most concise explanation of the Gospel by Apostle Paul himself. In fact, if media can help us, let's look at it very quickly. I'm just doing a very quick recap on yesterday because it's important to understand so that we'll be able to connect with what God is discussing today. Moreover, Brethren, I declare onto you the gospel which I preached onto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand verse two, by which ye are also saved. If ye keep in. Memory what I preached onto you, unless you have believed in they vers three, now reading to fall, For I delivered onto you first of all that which I also received. How that Christ follow carefully? Now, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures verse four, and that he was buried, and that he rose again on the third day according to scripture. This is the gospel Paly saying, when I came to you, this was what I communicated to you. That Christ died, he was buried, he rose again on the third day, according to the scripture. Hallelujah. Then I told us that when you encounter salvation in what you call the new birth experience, that that is not supposed to be the end of the journey. Hallelujah. Now respectfully speaking, and I said this with every sense of honor. I came from an evangelical background, and so I have a great appreciation for those who have pioneered evangelism and the gospel. But I think the limitation that came largely with the evangelical movement was that there was no system for continuity for the believers that God said so there was a very excellent work in terms of bringing people to the fold, But there were many believers who did not even know that growth was a possibility and a requirement. And like I did tell us yesterday, when you have something from the firm, you don't live it there it will wrote are we together now that your encounter with Jesus Christ brings within your spirit eternal life. But that is only the beginning of the journey. I told you that you will need to be exposed to a threefold four number one is the ministry of the teaching priest. According to Jeremiah three fifteen, Do not forget this that the teaching priest has an assignment to work in partnership with the world of God and the Spirit of God, to begin your process of training, which is your process of transformation. In order of eternal priority, anyone who is not safe, the first and the greatest need of an unsafe person is salvation. Beyond healing, beyond the job, beyond children. Any other thing you give to a no unsafe person that is less than salvation was not God's ultimate for that person, but that when salvation happens, the next assignment is transformation. Are we together? You can use this formula as a pastor to literally grow and mature the people in your church. There's no confusion about it. They can become something exact when you know what to do after what point. So if a new believer comes to me, to you and say now that i'm what do you can tell him? The next process now is transformation. What is transformation the name given to the process that makes you become like Christ in experience, It says, my little children, of whom I travail until Christ be formed in you, the formation of Christ in its entirety, all the multifastated dimensions of Christ being formed furnished in experience. Within that believer. Are we together? Now? That is very important? And I told us watch this that what you call destiny according to efficiency after two unders ten, what you call destiny is not something you invent by yourself. Please do not forget that. That you don't sit down and just decide or choose your destiny. The Bible about the concept of predestination, Are we together? Predestination means that in the mind of God, He says, here we are his workmanship. I'll talk a bit about that created in Christ Jesus onto good works which God had before ordain that we should work in them. So God does not just cratch his head wondering what to do with your life when you arrive or when you become safe. No, there is a script that has been written up they according to prophecy and according to predestination. Now, whether you will leave out that script or not is dependent on your cooperation with the will of God. Are we together now? It is possible that you can spend your life not living that destiny. And then you will find out that it is possible because of the extent of your faithfulness. God can add an assignment to you that was not in your regional script of your life. Because someone who was supposed to play that role has failed, and God can give his bishopric to another. It's in the Bible his bishopric. Let another take, in other words, to the call and the assignment. So it is possible to see someone start maybe as a kingdom financier, and end up as an evangelist and as an apostle. Because there is a way you can align through your diligence and. Submission to the spirit. Like you'll be learning, you will be too available for the kind the kind of mandate you are carrying. You would have developed yourself beyond that mandate. God will honor you by adding another assignment and increasing your ranking in the spirit. For instance, Stephen Stephen in the Bible, are we Bible students? Now, Stephen was confined within the jurisdiction of the welfare department, but the level of alignment and submission to the spirit was beyond that level, and it pushed him to are not that kind of experience again. And I foresee that in this end time there are people who like I hope you know that there was no prophecy that Elijah was supposed to be a prophet. No, it was not in Elisha's destiny to be a prophet. Elisha was a farmer. The next prophet who would succeed the mantle of Elijah was supposed to come from the school of the prophets, that was the culture of the prophets. They would have the school where they were mentoring and raising certain people. But that farmer became so aligned, so available. In fact, he was the only one that followed Elisha even down to Elijah, down to Jordan. There was nothing Elijah would do to drive him away. The prophets even said, I hope you know God is going to take your master now. So the guys were learning, the prophetic insight was sharpening. They were not lying yet none of them is That was why you surprise them. When the man to fell upon Elijah and he parted the Jordan, they said, truly the spirit of Elijah, do't rest upon Elijah. Are we learning now? I told us yesterday that the process of transformation starts with looking onto Jesus, not destiny. It as you look at Jesus and you love him and you press into him, watch this now, the spirit of the Living God, who has been sent to guide us through the part of destiny, will start putting you in a particular pathway. There are certain experiences that will start happening to you that you may think are unique to you. Till you start studying scripture. You will start finding parallels of your experiences away together now and then, I did tell us yesterday that all the names you see in the Bible, Abraham, Esther, Isaac, Gideon, that these are not just names of men alone. But that those men embodied different. Spiritual pathways that produce different kinds of believers. Are we together now? So you mentioned the name Esther, You are not just mentioning a beautiful woman who married a hazardous You are also mentioning a kind of training that leads to kind of believer. Do you understand what I'm teaching you? When you mentioned Moses, you are not just mentioning a prophet who was a stamara who led about two five million people out. No, you are mentioning a spirit to a pathway that leads to a kind of profit. You are the one that we pray. You are the one we hear those you give the healing and race the solways and oh who found. So when you mention Mary, all that comes to the mind of a non trained believer is that virgin woman who donated her womb to become the mother of Jesus. But Mary is not just the name of a woman. Mary is also the description of a spiritual pathway that prepares women to host certain visions of a revival. Are we together now? Listen? Listen. You must understand this so that as you begin to follow Jesus, you will find yourself becoming like somebody in the Bible. There must be a name in the Bible that your life starts becoming. If it is the spirit of God that is leading you, you cannot become nothing. No, so you find out that I'm looking like Moses, My training looks like Moses. Number one is not even my bad lit logical mother who is raising me number two in the midst of hostility. I am in an environment of hostility, and yet I don't seem to be touched by spirit. Until the Holy goes opens your eyes, you will just think I'm just loving God and going to church. It is by descendant you will see. That there is a formation, there is a pathway, and that is how mantos come to men. Watch this, Look at this. Do you know how. People receive mantles. They receive mantles by becoming exactly like the vessel that the mantu was upon before, so that the mantle does not even know it has common a new person. This is the same principle practice by witchcraft. Watch this this. I want to bring a demon spirit here, I will have to create the former habitat of that demon spirit to look exactly here, so that the demon spirit can be transferred and not know. That was why God prepared us to look like now the Holy girls can live in us. Has told he's in the throne room. Are you getting this now? Yes, this is a mystery in the spirit. When a mantle comes and the vessel does not look like the mantle there, it will not rest on you. That is why the assignment is. You must be prepared. So I want the mantle of Elijah. It is the training of Elijah. That's that's shit, training you and chisling you. By the time you become that portrait of Elijah through sacrifice, you don't have to pray for the mantle. It will come, so the mantle can keep. There are mantles that will keep going around your lah, but not rest on everybody, because there is a formation that mantule is looking for to rest You see where our prayers in the body of CHRISTI is likely a pray of ignorance. Oh God, let it fall, No it is not. The first people did not pray for it to fall. They only went to a school in the spirit, and as they exhausted a pathway, they found out that they were hosting superior dimensions of grace. A postle. I want to be Naomi. The mantle of Naomi does not just rest upon you because you are a woman. No, Naomi. It's not just a woman, Naomi. It's also a spiritual pathway. Ruth is not just a young lady Marion Boas. Ruth is also a spiritual pathway. Look, if you learn what I've taught you to be one of the greatest secrets you have learned. That means every grace you see is available. But there is a formation. Are we together now? My assignment this morning is to show you how men have from the ordinary version of them to become vessels of honor that can hold certain mantles. Because no body is prepared by default, not even Jesus. There is a pathway. As you follow that pathway, Look at me, women, many of you. Make cakes, and you make cookies and you make whatever. Am I right on that? When you get your flower and start beating it, it looks flat, but remember it can become any shape. Is that true? But usually there you have something that looks like the shape you want that to become, and you put it inside and force it to assume that shape. Am I right on that? That's what I want to show you this morning. How do ordinary men start that process of metamorphosis in the spirit. How does an ordinary young man suddenly become a prophet? What happens to him? Sat How does the young lady all of a sudden now carry power, genuine power? How does a. Young man who comes from a family full of poverty and failure suddenly becomes a trustee, a treasurer of the kingdom? What path did he follow? What did he tell God? What did God tell him? Listen, when you understand this, my assignment is complete here because you can now start producing men and reproducing men of power. That means it does not matter who comes to you once they are willing. Now you know the pathway. You can guarantee that in three five years you will produce a sign and a wonder. You will stop maintaining members in your church. You will produce weaknesses and spiritual men. Are we together respectfully speaking? Praise God? All right? Thank you. What happens in many of our churches is that there. Is just a maintainance of membership. And I'm not saying this to Himsult, but the church was not supposed to be a place of maintainance. It was supposed to be a spiritual house. Of convergence and training where ordinary men begin to through the ministry of the teaching priests. Like I taught you, they subscribe themselves to an exact template. Away together now, and that in an average church, after one, two, three, four, five years, I should come and see a formation of certain Bible figures. That means, if I come, I should see Joseph forming, and Elijah forming, and Esther forming. Somewhere in the choir, I should see a jel forming. Are we together now? Yes? That's how you know a living church when something about the lives of the membership starts becoming a parallel of the figures that you see in the Bible. The things that are written a full time. The Bible says they are for our learning, that we two faith and the patience the comfort of picture might find hope. But right now there is a blind claim of dimensions, blind claim of rems. Oh, I claim lives as man to, I claim Moses is man to. It doesn't happen that. Way, No, No, how do men transit in the spirit, How do men rise in the spirit? How do men prepare for the glory? When you know this, ladies, and gentlemen, you will know why a few people in our world seem so powerful, as though God just it. Not everybody, and I solated a few people. No, No, the Bible says, nevertheless, the foundation of the Lord standard shore. Listen carefully having this seal. The Lord knows where them that are his? Is that in your Bible? It says, and let any man that named the name of Christ departs from iniquity, I will still together. Then, the Bible says, in a great house everybody is a great house, a great house like a great church, a great house like your ministry. It says, beware, old man of God. That's why I said, please invite us many men of God, because I'm talking to everybody, but my focus is largely on the shepherds, because one man of God can represent three hundred, five hundred, one thousand members. So if I talk to you, well, I've spoken to one thousand people. Well, in a great house, He's saying, this is an information every teaching christmans carry that the moment God sends members to your church, there are. Always four kinds of vessels. There number one. The vessels of gold, two vessels of silver, three vessels of wood, for vessels of clay. No matter the Church and the Bible says, some vessels are onto honor based on their desperation, based on their alignment, based on their press towards spiritual things, whereas some other versus are onto dishonor. In other words, don't be surprised when you find people disinterested with spiritual things. Don't let it frustrate you as a man of God and make you think you are not doing a good job. The Bible already told you in a great house you will find these kinds of vessels. There are people no matter what you do, you first and pray they have purposed in their heart not to be serious with the things of God, or they have pegged themselves at a spiritual level, and you cannot force them. Against their will. Yours is to just pray for them that God will open their eyes. You can choose as an act of your will to not be serious with God. He will honor your decision. But the consequences is that there is a dimension of glory that should emanate from the sains, will not come from your life or through your life. Away together. Romance, chapter eight and verse eighteen says, for I reckon that the sufferings of this present time. It says, it's not worthy to be compared with the glory that shall be revealed in us. There is a dimension of glory that is supposed to be revealed from the saints. And the Bible says, for the enness expectation, listen carefully of creation awaited the manifestation of the sons of God. The Bible says, for creation itself was subject to vanity, not willfully, but by reason of him Adam, now the same who subjected him in hope. And the Bible says twenty one. It says, because the creature itself will be delivered from a mystery called the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the saints. Allelujah. There is no territory that cannot experience revival. There is no individual that cannot experience revival. The key most times is we are not students of history. We are not students of patterns, were not students of scripture, and so or we study scripture without the illumination of the spirit. And all we read there is your story. But when you find out, you see the truth is that the secret of the future is hiding in yesterday. Yesterday holds the key to tomorrow if you understand the mysteries and the patterns of the spirit, Because according to Leviticus, chapter nine and verse six, this is the mystery that controls the manifestation of God's glory. And he showed this to Moses. He said, the Lord instructed Moses, this is the thing which the Lord commanded that ye should do, and the glory shall appear unto you. The glow glory is the end product of working. In keeping with certain spiritual patterns. When you work in keeping with certain spiritual patterns, the end of that journey is glory. Allelujah. Are we together? So you don't believe I've not even started my lectures for this morning? Are we together? Whenever we stop, we give glory to God. So where do we. Start this morning? Let's start from efficients. Let's do efficients to ten. The Bible says, for we are his workmanship. Let me start from there. What does it. Mean to be a workmanship? Look or place? Do you know what it means? The word workmanship means we are a testament of his artistry. We are his investments, We are the product of his intelligence. When they say a man's workmanship when they tell or comes, look or please. When a tailor shows a beautiful dress, you say that dress is the workmanship of the tailor. That means you want to know how good that tailor is. Look at that dress when it is complete, not when he's tearing it into pieces. Are we together now? When the Bible says we are His workmanship? That means the Finnish version of you should reveal something about God that will be a wonder. Are you getting the point now that when people see God walking in you? Now are we the sons of God? And it doth not yet appear what we shall be like? But when you stay with God working on cause, following your pretty defined pathway, that the finished version of you must be His workmanship, in other words, that men will see you. Did the Bible not say let your life so shine before men? Am I right on that? Matthew chapter five and. Verse sixteen, It says that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. In John chapter fifteen and verse eight, it says, here in is my Father glorified when you bear much fruit, So shall you be my disciples. John fifteen and verse sixteen. You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you and ordained you. The word ordain means to legitimize your operation, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit will remain Galatians one twenty four. And they glorified God in me. This is where we're going with all this journey, that you get to a point where your life becomes a sin and a wonder. In fact, the Bible calls us living epistles. You know what that means. Your life should be a continuation of someone's Bible studying that when he closes his Bible at home, the moment he sees you, you are that Bible opened again. He continues learning God through your life that what he did not understand in studying scripture, your life becomes an explanation. Man can use your life as a tool to learn God. We are his workman sheep created in Christ Jesus. The Bible says, onto good works which God had for ordaining, that will work in them. I will still. Together, say, man, if you're still here right, so, I want to show you five requirements very quickly this morning. There are five requirements that every believer who is being formed to become that vessel of glory. Must subscribe to, must submit to, must give yourself to listen to me. There is no there is no negotiation. The moment you ignore these five mystery pathways, there is no possibility of arriving to become a vessel of glory. But no matter who you are, start that journey and work in keeping with these five principles. I give you a guarantee, by the integrity of Jesus Christ, the end of your life will be a glory and a praise to you, to Him and to the nations. Are you ready for that? Praying the spirit in one minute as God opens us up to these spiritual pathways Shannika Paruski seven ecatosias. Someone is praying your life is changing. There is a transition that is happening to you, even in the spirit. There is an excendance in the spirit that is happening to you. Alee Lujah, alleluyer. So Jeremiah chapter six and verse sixteen says, stand ye in the way. It begins by revealing a very deep mystery. Watch this that anything God wants to have continuity of He ensures that a pattern is left behind, so that whoever wants to get that dimension of glory, will follow that path through away together. And Jeremiah picked this by the spirit, give it to us thirst say it the Lord, stand me in the ways and see. And as for the old path, wherein is the good way? And work therein, it says, and ye shall find. Rest for your soul. So there is a pathway that turns ordinary men to vessels of glory, vessels of power. There are certain spiritual activities and spiritual practices that when the believer begins to engage in the end of it is the revelation of the glory of God in his life. Are we together? In fact, the Bible puts it this way, that he that sows to the flesh will of the flesh, rip corruption, but that he that sows to the spirit will of the spirit life eternal. That means everybody is a farmer. Everything you do every day is likened to sewing, and that there is a guaranteed harvest that comes corruption, a life of weakness, decadence, confusion, pain, subjugation. By all kinds of demonic and elemental. Forces, or a life of glory and dominion, adds Chapter two and verse forty two. This is the first official revelation of the template that the early Church followed to become men of power? Will you be able to read it? Can we read together? Want to read? And they continued teth fastly aha in their apostles, doctrine and fellowship, and. In breaking of bread and in prayers. One more time, and they continued tetfastly in their apostles, doctrine, and in fellowship, and in breaking of bread and in prayers. So let's discuse the factors now. Number one, that that which transits ordinary men into men of power, into men of grace, into men. Of ability in the spirit and. Were together now is is strategic and it systemic prayer life? Right down is strategic and is systemic prayer life. You want to evolve from the old you to transit into that which can host the glory of God. Are we together now? The first defined pathway, as revealed by Jesus himself and revealed by the early Church, and revealed. By modern history. That everyone who followed the path that evolved them into men of fire and glory, where men who had this strategic and sistemic prayer life. I didn't just say a prayer life because many of you have a prayer life. But your prayer life is not beneficial because it is not strategic and it is not systemic. When you have a conditional prayer life, you will never evolve into a man of power. When you have a need driven prayer life, you will never evolve to a man of power. I don't have the time, but there are so assignments of prayer in the life of the believer. Prayer itself does not do everything, but there are so assignments of prayer. I may not explain it. Maybe let me just list it. I don't teachings on that you can get it. The first and the greatest assignment of prayer in the life of the believer is for your growth and spiritual transformation. That means the real assignment of prayer is not just for things to come to you. No, it's for your spiritual evolution. That you evolve in the. Praise of prayer like a snake molding, living it for myself and assuming a new shape. That's what prayer does. Look chapter nine and verse twenty nine, the Bible says, and as he prayed the heat being Jesus, the Bible says, the version of his countenance was all tired, and his raiment became white and glissery. Unfortunately, for most believers, the scope of our prayer life is simply a platform to make petitions and for needs are we together? And so once we go to prayer, we say things like, Father, thank you, you are the lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David and all those kinds of things. And there's nothing wrong with that. Father, have come again. You see this issue. I'm telling you, give me rest, give me this this issue of a child. But you see the real assignment of prayer. If prayer was just to receive things, Jesus would not need to pray, because he was the word himself. Yet he immersed himself in prayer because prayer is princpically a mysterio spiritual platform that can help men to activate their organs of interacting with the realm of the spirit. One of the first key that you are excelling your prayer life is a heightened sense of discernment. Your perception now begins to grow prayer. This is one of the things of the ministry of praying. Tongues is supposed to be an opportunity for you to explore the riches in the spirit as you pray. So when you. Invest time I said strategic and systemic prayer. Do you know why because when you study in ath chapter three, from verse one. At chapter three and verse one, the Bible talks about Peter and John, our Bible students that now Peter and John went together into the temple at the hour of prayer. Everybody say hour of prayer. One more time, say hour of prayer, say routine of prayer. When prayer is not systemic for you, it cannot evolve you into a person of power. There was the earlier apostles had what we call the hour of prayer. That means their prayer life was systemic and methodical. In our world, we have what we call bread first am I right. Breakfast in our world is within the range of six am to maybe nine am I right on that. And then we have launch anything from maybe twelve, one, two, three, four, and then we have dinner or supper. So you can know that it's your hour of breakfast, your hour of launch, your hour of dinner. And the Bible says there is something called the hour. Of prayer, the hour of prayer dedicated for your spiritual growth and your prayer. So when it becomes systemic and you know that the first and the greatest assignment of prayer is for your spiritual evolution, I promise to give you the remaining four can I run through it to you? Number two. The second assignment of prayer, as revealed from scripture, is for obtaining requests and making petitions. The second assignment of. Prayer is for obtaining requests and making petitions. The Bible says in Philippians, chapter four and verse six. It says, be anxious for nothing, says but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving. It says, let your requests be made known onto God. Am I right on that. Yes, So the second assignment of prayer is as a platform for making requests Matthew eleven, Mark eleven, twenty four. It says, very liveally, I say onto you what. Things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that thou receivest them, and thou shalt have them. Number three, very quickly. The third assignment of prayer in the life of. The believer is for spiritual legislation, the ability to speak and create realities even in the place of prayer. I professide as I was com manded and there was a sound. In the place of prayer, you can create possibilities the things that are not you call them and give life and give shape to them in the spirit. Finally, the fourth assignment of prayer. As reviews from scripture, is as a platform for warfare and prophetic intercession. Peter sat and desire to sift you like wit. But I have prayed for you that your faith failed not and when thou art converted, use the same formula to strengthen your brethren. Are we learning? I'm praying that as you are listening to me, the Holy Goost is doing something to your appetite for the Word, that your desire for the world, that you will have an appetite to need to show yourself approved onto God, a workman that needed not to be ashamed rightly dividing the word listen, the enentire ministry will not just be a ministry of power. It will be a ministry of power that comes after the communication of the world, because christ manifests as the wisdom of God and the power of God, not the power of God alone. Are we learning now? So let's go back to our the first force, The first mystery that I'm teaching you that makes and molds men to become careers, superior careers of the glory of God, strategic and systemic prayer life. Look up, please, It. Is your responsibility to work with the Holy Ghost and based on the shedules of your life, to come up with strategic time periods per day, per week, per month, past seasons that are dedicated to your prayer life for the purpose of transformation. This is a responsibility, dimension of power and place. Are we together? It cannot be one of. Rooms for everybody because save for instance, a young man who now begins to explore God, say as a student on campus, he may have a bit of liberty because at that point he's not married. He does not have responsibilities. Am I together? His responsibility is largely academic and maybe if he has a fellowship that is. Leading, so he has a bit of time and he can create. Design a spiritual growth process out of that available time. But for forwout ten years after that time, you are most likely a father, a mother, a leader, maybe a pastor with a church. You cannot use that campus template today. It will not work. You will be called an irresponsible person. So you work with the Holy Spirit and keep adjusting moments. But that by all means you must have a systemic and a strategic prayer life. I, for one, I have found the night periods into the early hours of the mornings as the best for anyone, because all men sleep. It is given for men to sleep. Are we together? Now? My days are very busy, and they continue to be increasingly busy. But it is not an excuse to stop my growth. It's not an excuse to stop my training. There are many people who started dying when they started a ministring because administration can distract you. We're going to learn that in Ads chapter six and verse four, when they wanted to turn Peter and the other apostles to become men who were just doing administrative duties, they said, no, no, no, no, no, no no no. There was a template that was given to us. We are not apostles for nothing. If we leave that and begin to serve tables. There is nothing wrong in serving tables, but something there is a consecration that is making us evolve. We will not be able to arrive with that template. And it said, select among yourself men who are full of wisdom. Are we together and of honest report six and verse four. Act Chapter six and verse four says, but we will give ourselves continually to the to prayer and to the ministry of the world. Everybody is a prayer. Look eighteen and verse one. The Bible says, you speak a parable to the end that men ought always to. Pray and not to faint. First Thessalonians five p. Seventeen, it says, pray without season. It doesn't mean pray from morning till night. It means we consistent your prayer James five thirteen. Is any man afflicted, it says, let him pray, let him pray. I submit to you that an attack on your prayer life is an attack on your potential for growth, and certain will use legitimate excuses to distract you. Your wife, ministry, administration, your job, whatever it is, is your responsibility. Twenty four hours is enough to be able to squeeze out quality time and spend with God. A will together. God is everywhere, but it does not meet with men everywhere. No God is everywhere, but it does not meet with men everywhere. Even you as a human being. If you respect someone and you want to have an appointment, you will not tell him come and meet me at the junction.

You are in your room shabakatos theater rando se parousiata blessed are you, oh God. And for months nothing will happen. You will keep praying, or at least you do not sense that anything is happening. Lord, where is your voice? Where is the encounter? Am extreme? Nothing will happen. One day something is going to happen to you. You will come to the place of prayer like before, and while you are praying shali ka pran de gave a recos theater. There he comes, the King of Kings and the Lord of lords. He will reveal himself to you in a way that only you can know, and he will place an unction and a grace upon you. He will measure a thousand cubits for you in the spirit. You will come out of that experience. You may not even know what has happened to you till you go back to the place of assignment, and you will see, like Moses, that the dimension of the glory has rested on your face. It's others that will look at you. Do you know Moses met God, and others did not have to go up the mountain. They had to look at Moses to have the same experience that God had that God gave him. So we bow. As we enter. The throne room, and we cast ourselves down at your feet. For you, Holy, thou wart Holy, there is none in your presence. There is well. I must be.

Your destiny is piecing together. One day you will go to prayer, and the Lord will tell you that you are anointing, will move upon the string instruments you write it. These are all the pieces of the apostles that help you to be a carrier of the glory. I will reveal my that sayings upon the harp and you write it down, and then you will pray and pray again. Pray and pray again, Pray and pray again. Until your body begins to have a formation and you see the mantle that was assigned to that body that's coming because the model formation is. An attractive power. That is how spirits coming to bodies, because the bodies look like the vessels that they currently are in, so they can leave that body and come into another body. You subject yourself to prayer. You're praying. Weeks becoming months at the get a record Sata lemtos theata in one room, no pedigree, no nothing, but a superior version of you is evolving from a family full of costs. Don't worry about the costs.

The Bible says he may cat his minister's wings, numa his spirits, is his anxious wings and his minister's plans. So fire.

Oh, hello Madonna, Hello Madonna, Hello Madonna, Hello Madonna. The ministry of prayer forming you, shaping you, molding you. You are subscribing to a spiritual template that is making you become a kind a type of vessel. You are attracting by your diligence, attracting by your consistency, a kind of mantle, a kind of grace, and a kind. Of glory in the name of Jesus. Now, sit down, sit down, m shauld say bajas co brand gebret to see a camera. Now listen, cheerfully. Please. I want you to covenant with yourself that you are going to get This morning's teaching listen to it a game by the spirit of God. I'm re lieing to you a very misterious illness futable formula. I want you to listen to what I'm about to tell you. Now, everybody, please listen, Please let me have your attention. There is a side effect to becoming prayer ful that you may not know. Now that you have prayed. I wanted to listen. The moment you submit yourself to prayer, you are in a position of a dangerous. Risk that I must tell you. Listen, listen, listen. Do you know why, Because the law of the altar is that the moment you submit yourself to prayer, watch this, your organs of interaction with the realm of the Spirit become alive and become heightened. And these If Satan cannot stop you from prayer, the next thing that he does is to appear as an angel of light. That's why I said, listen to what I'm about to teach you. Many people's deceptions started because of the health of their prayer allife, many especially those called into the apostolic and the prophetic ministry. I will tell you most of the error. The Bible says the spirits creaked expressly that some in the latter times shall depart from the faith, and they shall give heat to seducing spirits and the doctrine of demons. It is a risk to suddenly be open to the realm of visions. It is a risk to suddenly be open to the realm of encounters, because, as a naive believer exploring the realm of the spirit, anything you see in your vision can be told you that it is God. Listen tearfully. There are people who went up the mountains sincerely and came back with ordinances that were not from God. There are people who sincerely submitted themselves to days and weeks of prayer and fasting, and came back with spiritual templates from the realm of the spirit, but not by the Holy Ghost. There are people who came back with their organs activated along the lines of the prophetic Sincerely, they were not wrong. People when Jesus went to pray, who didn't meet in the wilderness. Please talk to me. When your Jesus went to pray, I thought prayers should drive the devil. But guess who was waiting for Jesus In the place of prayer. I stert praying for forty days with fasting, I thought you would see set and shaking and running away. Satan was patiently waiting. That means when you give yourself to prayer, it's not only angels who are attracting the realm of the spirit. Because it's the prayers of the Saints are like an incense that rise and there is a signal in the realm of the spirit. There is somebody who is assuming that formation of the glory, and Satan will take advantage of your sincere. That's why I said, promise that you will listen to this teaching again. That is the reason why those who submit to the ministry of prayer alone are in danger. Did you know what I said? I've told you prayer is not everything prayer does at prayer as this ministry. But many people have shot down on every other provision that makes for the growth of the saints, and they have immersed themselves in a bid to access power. The only thing they know and the only thing they may have done sincerely so is prayer. And most of them have come with all kinds of erroneous Saints doctrines. So someone would tell you, in the place of prayer, I went somewhere in the spirit, I don't know where, and I came back with a message. I came back with certain things, and. You will see a semblance of power, and it begins to graduate until it becomes like the doctrine of Belham. There are many things, to their, respectfully speaking, that have polluted the sanctity of the altar in the body of Christ. So it did not come by the ministry of wicked men. They were not wicked. They were sincere people who did not understand the full scope of the training. And they chose one aspect of the training and left the rest, and the devil cast in on their sincerity and revealed things to them that have become a destruction to themselves. I know people who prayed and prayed until they had mental problems. Have you seen people like that? And even while they're mad, they're praying in tongues. It looks like a mockery to God. Eventually they would take them to the hospital and said they them, No, genuine prayer does not. Lead to that. But I told you there is a risk because it exposes you and you encounter all kinds of spirits, and every spirit is speaking, so you will hear Spirit from the realm of the Spirit. Loud and Claire, and you say, go and stand by the road. And because your heart is already inclined to obey, you will say, yes, Lord and go. Understand. But you find out that the more you obey that spirit, that formation of Christ has stopped. You are becoming like something else that is not Christ. This is where the next training comes, right, Please, the ministry of the world. The second key that helps the believer to become a person of stature is the ministry of the world. It's God helping us. I know the lie, I know the Lamb, I know the Lihim. I know the Lamb. I believe in the Lion. I believe in the Lamb. I've followed the Lion. I've followed the Lamb. Allelujah. Listen. The ministry of the World and the ministry of prayer has become an age long conflict, which is more superior to which, especially in the Pentecostal and the Charismatic circles. Now I'm saying this respectfully. This is a believer's meeting, am I right on that? So we have a group that may perceive themselves to be people of prayer, especially the prophetic and the Apostolic ministry. Then we have those who perceive themselves to be people of the world. And sometimes the dichotomy is so wide that it almost looks as if there is enmity. But the Bible never created that dichotoy Are we together? Jesus called himself the Word, but he said, my house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations. Am I right on that. Now I want to show you the roles that they play. Please look up, Jesus went as the Word of God went. In Matthew chapter four, Jesus went to go and pray. And first, everybody, please look on, please look up, Please look up, Please look up. Jesus is don't praying. Everybody, say prayer one more time, say prayer. Jesus is, don't praying. And the next thing he sees is that Satan appears to him. Am I right on that. Whether it's from the realm of. His thoughts or it was a physical manifestation, the most important thing is that there was. An interaction with this spirit entity Satan. Are we together? And watch this? The first thing Satan told him is don't forget that prayer produces power. Now in the place of prayer, you have power. Turn this stone to bread. In other words, convert that power to be an instrument for meeting your personal need. Forget about the bigger cause. That is the first. There are three temptations every mammal survived to rise. I'm not teaching on that, but those temptations of Jesus. Number one is a temptation on your stomach, manipulating the world of God and ministry to be used as an instrument of your stomach. Number two is spiritual laxity. He took him up a holy mountain and set fall down spiritual carelessness, for he shall put his angels charge. The third temptation is a temptation of influence. He took him into an exceeding great mountain and showed him the kingdoms of this world and their glory is therefore, and he said, bow to me, and I will give this to you. But this is not what we're discussing. Now. Watch this Satan comes to Jesus and said, turn this stone to bread. Look at Jesus's reply. It is he never said, I have prayed, it is help me. It is why didn't this is Satan? Are you not respecting my prayer and fasting? Do you not know the energy that has been generated there? He said, it is written. Do you know if Jesus said, okay, Satan, that's a nice suggestion and turned that stone to bread, his entire prayer life, the spiritual investment he has made would be nothing simply because he did not know what was written. Then let me show you now the value of prayer. Add that to the world. Satan said, Oh, I see that you. Respect the world too, So let's fix scripture now. Next temptation, Satan also said it is written, he shall put his changes to his angels charge over you. They shall bear thee up on their wings. Satan is quoting scripture. Now let you that your feet against his stone. Now Satan is saying it is written. You are saying it is written. That is where the power of prayer comes in. That leaves you the discernment, because if you do, if you have scripture alone and not discernment that has been generated, Satan will come like the damn cell in a chapter sixteen and also join you in prophet sign. And you said, they are saying scripture it's someone learning now. Satan said it is written. I know it too, and Jesus said, no, by discernment, I know that even though what is coming out of your mouth is scripture, but you. Are not of God. There are many, many people today who have the world, but they just have history and literature in your minds, because the power that backs of the world, that should be generated in the place of prayer is not there. And so most people just. Become respectfully speaking, historians, and they just make the Bible says, this is such a scripture for in then. You think you will find life, and you will not come to me. That the scriptures themselves testify of me. But ladies and gentlemen, do you know why the word of God is powerful? Because the Word of God creates boundaries to your spiritual experiences. The Bible has a lot to say about the world of God. For instance, in Collosians, chapter one and verse sixteen, the Bible talks about the supreme mercy of the world. The supreme mercy of the world. Please give it to us. I hope someone is learning something this morning. Collosians one sixteen. Let's read it if you can see it ready. One to read place for by Him the Word. Now where all things created that are in heaven and that are in the earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones or dominions, or principalities or powers, all things were created by Him and for Him. Do you know what that means? That means even if you have an encounter outside this realm, the Word of God still has supremacy. And you can use the Word of God to let every experience. So an angel can appear to you, and you can judge by the speakings of that angel if it does not reveal Jesus, and it does not lead you through the path where you have. A right to judge that angel by the word to say no, this is inconsistent with the character of God. Most people do not have the Word of God, and it has destroyed them in ministry. Look at this. For instance, Let's assume that this gentleman seated and this lady say their husband and wife. Do you know, as a man of God, by prayer and through the prophetic I can see, for instance, that there's something wrong with that lady. But how I will handle it now would depend on my understanding of scripture, not my understanding of prayer. If this is a man of God, and this is your church, and this is your wife, and there is something wrong. Number one, the Bible says, do not rebuke an elder in public. So I'm not about to go and embarrass him and the wife because it will have an effect on the fold. Are you seeing how the Word of God guides you now? To administer power with wisdom? Many people through the prophetic have access graces, but the word of God does not define the coordinates of their administering power. And they keep they keep, you know, mismanaging power. Imagine an electric a high voltage naked wire on the ground. Will it do you any profit? No, you hold it any to kill you. But that same power can be channeled through a socket and you can charge something with it. Are you see now the word of God con That's why the power of God resides within the world of God. Habakuk, chapter three, hund verse four. The Bible says in that sound like splendor is the hiding place of his power. Many people have not taken out time to be students of doctrine, to be students of the world. The Bible says, they gave themselves continually to the apostle's doctrine. Please say doctrine one more time, said doctrine. Now, theologically speaking, there are six foundational doctrines. I'm not listening it for you. There are six foundational doctrines that represent the believer's foundation. If you do not have encounter with these six. Doctrines building, you are building upon shadows. You find that in Hebrews chapter six, from verse. One and two. I'm not going to repeat it. Just you once studied six of them foundational doctrines that duel the believer, or doctrine of baptisms, repentance from dead walks. The Bible lists them six of them. That means, when you begin to grow spiritually, these are the foundational doctrines that you must learn. Are we together? Why is scripture important because it helps us to understand the ways of God, the ways of God, the ways of God, the ways of God. Why is scripture important because it can open our eyes efficients after fund Verse eighteen says having their understanding darkened. It says, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them because of the black kindness of their minds, and that from a child thou hast known the Holy Scripture, which is able to make you wise onto salvation. I wish you together now, yes at chapter twins, I believe, and we're s thirty two us or thereabout it says and now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the world of his grace, which is able to build you up and to give you an inheritance among them that are sanctified, among them that are scientified, I commend you to God and to the world of his grace, that it is able to build you up and to give you an inheritance among them that are scientified. Everybody said the word one more time, said the word, said doctrine, one more time, said the word, say doctrine. The cause of corriculum that pulse a believer to become a witness is called doctrine. It comes from the Latin word doctrina. It means a pretty defined body of knowledge that makes the students to become something exact. Are we together in my example yesterday? Remember, a medical student from year one to the final year has. A body of knowledge that he must learn. Are we together? So when you call somebody a. Doctor, you mean one who has exhausted that body of knowledge. And has been lettered and are credited by a counsel. Am I right on that, Yeah, doctrine. As a man of God, your concern is to come and teach God's people doctrine. Now, let me tell you this. You don't want to teach doctrine in a crusette ground. And sometimes when you have a conference like these two three days, you are you are shot of time. But as a person with your members, you are not rushing anywhere. So you take the time and teach. Don't teach members as if you are teaching in the conference. You are not rushing anywhere. They are there with you, largely for years or for a lifetime. So you take time methodically, line upon line, precept upon precept. And let me tell you this, when it has to do it knowing God, our knowledge of God is in finite, but when it has to do or the knowledge of God is in finite, But when it has to do it raising believers too mature, the body of truth that you communicate to them is finite. There is an exact body of truth that you teach believers and then recycle it again and recycle it again. So as a man of God, your assignment is not newness, It is freshness. Papa again spent his life teaching on faith, and yet you will not listen to any of that message that looks like the other. What I think the pressure, especially that the priesthood ministry in our world has, today, is there is such an itch to bring newness because it looks like I've taught on prayer. We like teach on prayer again. I've taught on fasting, I've thought on the world of God, I've taught on giving, I've taught on the kingdom. What else is there question a professor who. Has been teaching in the university for thirty five years, say in the faculty of medicine or architecture, what has he been teaching? Is it true that he has been teaching the same thing? Faith comes by hearing and hearing. Faith comes by hearing and hearing. Faith comes by hearing. Psychologists and educationists teach us that at the initial point of communicating a thought, less than twenty six percent of it is truly assimilated by those who hear. So forget that members shout and say yes, they're not getting anything. Most times you will need to reap pit it with diligence and seriousness. Members are masters of flattering you. They will comment unnecessarily and walk out. And believe me that twenty six percent is even for a serious student. To the point that after Jesus himself mentored the disciples, he said, when the spirit of truth is come, he will remind you again, is it not in your Bible? He will because the way you are now, chances are excellent you will forget. He will bring back to your memories everything I've taught you. Say amen. That's why we thank God for technology now that can help us capture teachings. That you listen to it again. And as you listen to it, you will hear something you did not hear. Even if you are the one who precides, you will hear something you did not hear. And God can join seemingly unconnected thoughts together for you that no one else will hear in that teaching. Everybody, say the word one more time. Say the word. So I've taught you two agencies now in the making of. Men to become witnesses, to become people of glory number one, strategic and systemic prayer number two and when I talk of prayer, you know that I also mean prayer with fasting. Hallelujah. Yes, firsting is beneficial spiritually, first thing is beneficial. Nutritionally, are we together? Number three? If you're learning, say amen, you want to become a man of power, you want to become a man of grace. The third is called corporate fellowship. Write it down, corporate fellowship. This is another mystery. Hebrews Chapter ten and verse twenty five. Corporate fellowship. Hebrews ten twenty five charges us not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together. Is that in your Bible as the manner of some is, but exhorting one another? So much more as you see the days appearing, listen to me. If you want to become a man of power, a man. Of grace, a man that evolves into a vessel of honor, you cannot ignore the place of corporate fellowship, the convergence of believers together for the purpose of mentorship, for the purpose. Of learning, and for the purpose of growth. This is very important. You may have heard me teach that Kingdom community living is the key to sustaining Kingdom values. Every believer must have a opinion of believers that you are connected to This is very important. I was glad when they said, unto me, let us go to the house of the Lord. Is that in your Bible some one thirty three. Behold how good and how pleasant it is when brethren dwell together in unity. The Bible says, it is like the oil upon the head of Aaron, the priest that comes down from his head to his bed, down to his garment, his hat. The Bible says, for their God. Hath commanded the blessing even life forevermore. No matter your personal work with God, there are certain dimensions in your dealings with God that cannot happen to you alone. It will have to happen under the corporate annointing. Is someone learning now while they prayed the Holy Good said to them, separate me, Paul. Is that in Bible, while they prayed together, let me tell you the truth. Even if you encounter Jesus in a vision, he will still lead you back to His church for the continuity of your growth. So don't say I don't need anybody. I don't need any corporate gathering or believers. It is a spirit of the Antichrist. It is deception. Are we together standing alone, you will not be able to do much. I promise you read Bible history. Most of the believers that were alone, they died early. They could not stand. The strength of many believers was when they were together and they returned to their company. So you confort one another. How many of you have come to church. Very tired, almost giving up, and somebody just raises one song and while other people are just looking, you are the only one crying because that song is healing you from something God place, an anointing. This is why worship leaders in church must be serious. In fact, everybody in church workers must serious. Past Us don't just deploy kill alone, deploy spirituality and consecration and sacrifice. Because what they're singing is not a special number. What they're singing is ministring life. Somebody's life depends on that song. So you are supposed to lead a song, you don't just stand up and then quickly check your list of songs and common stand and you are the only one dancing. You see that it's not ministering to the People's very clear that you are. You are. There's no life communicated. When you time to minister, you reveal your secret place, whether to minister in word or to minister in worship. Your communication is a window into your secret place, and men can look. And say what is this one? Now? Even those who are not spiritual can know you are raising a song of worship and people are sleeping. There is nothing touching them. Everybody say, fellowship, question, you have come for this conference. Now look at how many things you have learned. Does that mean you do not know God? Does that mean you do not have the Holy Ghost? Imagine that you are not here. There are some of you. What you are listening, you are learning now maybe new some of you. He's refreshing you again. I was glad when they said, unto me, let us go to the house of the Lord. Let me give you number four. Are you learning? Show me a believer who follows these pathways, and I show you a man who will become mighty. Let me recap number one that you. Must submit yourself to prayer, submit yourself to the world, submit yourself to fellowship. Are you ready now? When you want to emerge, you have to submit yourself self to competence and to learning. This is the fourth thing. You will hardly hear this in church most times. Once we talk about prayer and the world. We stop there. But you want to become a career and a manifesto of the glory of God, you must submit yourself to competence as touching your area of calling an election. Proverbs twenty two and verse twenty nine. The Bible says, see it now, a man deligent in his business, he shall stand before kings. Are we together? He shall not stand before mean men. Please say competence one more time, say competence. There is a relationship between competence. And excellence and the glory of God. It says, Oh Lord, our God, how excellent is your name. There are many people who submit themselves in truth to prayer, They submit themselves to the world, They submit themselves. To fellowship, but they have not seen the. Value or the need to be competent, competent in ministry, competent in career, competent in business. You are a preacher, don't come and stand. Let me tell you the truth. The world that we live in today has options. No body will come and submit to your spiritual leadership with a man who you are not sounding scripture. You are not even fast as to life. Because there are times you have to draw examples look at Jesus. He used parables from real life experiences. You need in your church. Are professors in your church are intellectuals. No body will come and make it full of himself, just coming to submit to nothing. Are we together? No man will carry his wife and children and submit in definitely, and they are not learning. Learning and sound communication is a product of competence. Every scripture you coote is wrong, even when you read it from the Bible, you are still reading what is wrong? Oh no, apostle, God has called me to be a prophet. Stop moving around and embarrassing yourself. Learn the prophetic ministry. Sharpen yourself. Ah, God has made you a teacher. Submit to doctrine, get materials, go for training if need be so that you are sound. When you are giving a sounded surgesis of scripture. People listen to you. You are not communicating opinions. This is not just English, apostle. I'm a businessman. Tell me what you know about business. All I want to make is money. No, sir, there are certain corridors of glory you will not get to. Are we together? Did you know that there are two people in scripture who rose to a position of influence, and for all of them it was competence that took them there. Number one is Joseph. You find that in Genesis forty forty one forty two. Those two chapters talks about his final faces in the prison, up to the time of his interpreting Pharaoh's dream, his eventual exaltation. He was exalted, and the Bible says he was giving a wife to marry, the. Daughter of forty Farah, the priest of un And. They gave him a name, Zavastania. They gave him a name, an Egyptian name, and it became a great man. He said, I am Pharaoh, and only by your world will Egypt be ruled. Can we find such a man so discrete and wise in whom the spirit of the God is. Number two was Daniel in Babylon. Daniel was among the eunuchs that went into captivity. And when you read Daniel one and verse eight, the Bible says, and Daniel. Proposed in his heart that you will not defile himself with the King's portion, and were together. He was so sound. In Daniel chapter two, when you read from verse twenty eight, now about interpret the King's dream. The Bible says, then the secret was revealed onto Daniel, and you. Now begin to read, you see that Daniel was elevated, he was exalted. You want to see the extent of Daniel's exaltation, read Daniel chapter five from verse one downwards, and then Daniel chapter six from verse one down wards. That they decided to put precedents, and out of them, one of them was Daniel, and that he was such an exceptional person, to a point that when the enemies of the kingdom wanted to find an occasion, they could not trace it to incompetence. They had to use prayer to trap Daniel. What a man. Make a covenant with yourself right now today, whether you're a pastor, whether you're a business man, that you. Will run away from incompetence. I respect the fact that you're a man of prayer. I respect the fact that you're a man. Of the world. And respectfully speaking co labor us in the vineyard. Can I encourage us some decisions by the message of God. Let's stop wasting the time of God's people, or the wise will be ready for empty tinges in these last days because there are many alternatives. There are many options that the opening of your mouth will be like the gates of wisdom being opened. People look forward to listening to you. Ah. He said all that I was in the days of my youth, right when the secrets of the Lord was upon my tobacacle, and that by his light I went through darkress. The young men saw me and stood. The old men saw me. They refrained their mouths from speaking the excellency of wisdom. I made up my mind as a covenant. That is not just being anointed that I would present to the world. I will do my homework. I will make sure, by the grace of God I obtained grace to be competent. I Daniel understood by books. The Bible says to buy the truth and send it. Not in the name of Jesus. I rebuke spiritual laziness. In the name of Jesus, I rebuke intellectual laziness. Men of God, let's prepare salmons with diligence. Don't stand on the stage, and it to be very clear, you see, members are not stupid people. They know where you have not done your homework to the point that they will stop shouting amen to your prayers. Because there is a track record of prolonged on seriousness. May you be so competent that people will come to learn God through you. They listen to you as a business man. They want to tap into your wisdom. The Bible says, be wise as a serpent. When it has to do with living and excelling the cosmos. You can even borrow the wisdom of the serpent. You see, there's no time I would have shown you from the life of the man we call Abraham. Did you know that when he had to do with the matters of the altar and matters of spirituality? Abraham was powerful, but he was ignorant. And when God wanted him to understand that secular knowledge, he took him to go and lend the wisdom is. In your Bible. He took him to the house of Abimelech. He went there same thing with Moses. Moses went to lend the wisdom of the Egyptians. Most believers do not know that you need to have intelligence even of understanding the loss of life and the loss of destiny. It's not just spiritual loss. The Lord destiny and life has laws and systems. Do you understand organization? Do you understand leadership? Do you have people's skills. Do you know how to coordinate systems to make them work. You can have a church that comes because of your nuns and you're in, and you'll find that that you'll become a place of confusion because there is no organization. The first thing that came back to life in the drive boats of is decail at the skeletons. Skeletons, stock of structure. Before God will give life to any organization, the structure must be in place. If you're with me, say amen. So number one, prayer, number two, the ministry of the world, number three, corporate fellowship, number four, competence. Are you ready for number five? You must submit yourself to character development character Second Peter Chapter one. Place, let's begin our reading from verse five. Character write it down. If you want longevity of impact, you want to be the vessel that hosts the glory of God for a long time. Neglect this, and you do it at the peril the expense of your relevance. Second Peter, Chapter one. From verse five, Please look up everybody, and besides this, giving diligence r to everybody, say are to ur? Two? That's right, Thank God for the ones you have. But there is still something to add to. It says, add to your faith, virtue, moral excellence, and to virtue knowledge verse six, reading to ten, and to knowledge, self control and to self control, patience and to patience, godliness seven and to godliness, brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness, charity or love verse eight. If these things be in you, including the ones you have added, they make that you shall neither be burying. Fruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. Verse nine, it says, but he that lacked these things is blind and cannot see a pharof, for he had forgotten that he was first of his old sinis. Final verse ten, it says, where for the rather brethren, use these additions to give diligence, so that you will make your calling and your elections show. It says, for if this, if ye do these things, what is the prophecy there? Ye shall never fall, This shall never fall, This shall never fall. Anybody praying for your downfall will only be wasting their time. Because in addition to this that if you can add, that means no matter your spirituality, your ramma, if you don't add character, there is a problem with the longevity of your impact and unfortunately, respectfully, so many have become. Victims of this. In the night. I'm going to teach you empowerment since we're doing the miracle service, and I'll be teaching you. That there are three things that follow mantles. You see, there are spiritual backings in terms of angels, angelic activities that signify certain revelations. According to Revelations one verse one, the revelation of Jesus which he gave on to his servant John. The Bible says he sent it and signified it by his angel. So there are angels that don't follow men. They follow certain annointings. For instance, when thank God for your gracious protocol system. We have people from the DSS, the military and all of this, and I'm so thankful for you know, their intelligence, and i just sat back and watching all of them professionally communicating with themselves. I think you should celebrate them. Now. Watch that if the governor of. Your status comes here now in the capacity as a governor, are well together, there are certain people and certain military paraphernalia that comes with him. They don't come to him as a person. They follow the office. So when certain mantles are on you I'm telling you three things. I'm giving you a teaser for tonight. Number one is that there are certain angelic backings that follow you. Number two, men will follow you. But number three, there are spirits that are attached not to men, but attached to mantos. Demonic spirits. Now, they don't follow men. They have no business following you. They follow whoever is the carrier of that mantle. So if you are something, Delilah starts looking for you, not because you are very business with her. She was assigned to follow whoever is something. Amen. That is the reason why God does not answer certain prayers of more annoying. You know why, because the battles that you're about to confront, you don't have the spiritual intelligence to maintain victory at that level. So God will love you by keeping you in that state until revelation comes. I went up by revelations Galicians two and thus two, and I went up by revelation. You don't go up by desire. It takes revelation. Will learning character? Please look at me. Character is very powerful because it sustains the ability to preserve that which God places on your life. There are many many men of God. There are many people who do not have character. Character over the loss of the eyes, Please look at me. The Bible categorises them into three. Remember, love me the world, neither the things. That are in this world. The Bible says, if any man doesn't matter who you are, love the world is said. The love of the Father is not in you, Then it says all that is in the world, And List categorizes them into three. Number one the loss of the flesh. Number two, the loss of the eyes. Number three the pride of life. Everything that will bring you down is in these three categories. What is the loss of the flesh, The impulses that come to you by reason of wearing a more immortal body, gluttony, moral deficiencies in terms of immorality, All of these things are lost of the flesh. That means if you did not have a body, there will be no need. I hope you know that. Yes, the reason why you are in that kind of trouble is because you have a body. Then number two, lost of the eyes, the temptations and the impulses that come to you by reason of the power of sight, collfurteousness. It's not because you could see if you were blind, hopefully you would have been safe. But now that you have a pair of eyes, you saw your colleague rising, You saw his membership and big turenness and jealousy. All of these things have product the side effect of having a pair of eyes. That's why you must pray and sanctify your eyes. That Lord, no matter what my eyes see, in the name of Jesus, I will not allow the devil to midwipe my sight and my heart. Between my eyes and my heart, let the blood of Jesus putch everything so that the elements of jealousy am I together. Now you can be as annoyted as whatever. What made Saul want to kill David. He saw that this young man had a great potential, and the women now complicated the matter. Saul killed one thousand, David killed ten thousand, and Saul said no, no, this guy must die, and he used it. Jaqueline, it took David having wisdom to run away. Can I tell you you must trust God to plug your eyes. This unhealthy competition that exists among men of God are all kinds of things. This eyes, you see, is a gift from God. But this eyes can be a whip one of mass destruction. There are people who went to hell today because of their eyes. That's why the Bible says, if your eye causes you to see it is ay, plug it out. It doesn't mean remove it like this. No, you have to understand what the Bible is saying. I wait together now. To plug it out does not mean to remove it. To plug it out means cause it to lose his strength and efficiency. As far as partnering with the devil to destroy you is concerned. When you plug out your eyes, it no longer works. So he's talking about being dead to the flesh holistically. And then number three, the pride of life. I hope you know that the pride of life is different from pride. You cannot I have the pride of life until you have results. The pride of life is the self vain glorification that happens at the instance of provable results. So the moment you have results, be careful because you stand the risk of the pride of life. This is what happened to the king in Babylon. He had results, and he said, guild me a stature of myself ninety fifty pure gold. And everybody, when you hear the sound of the instruments bow to that image, and some Hebrew boys said, no, we will not do this. We love you with respect authority, but in this matter will not bow the pride of life. Can I tell you this, cheese, I'm showing you will make you a great man of power, ended by darkness and envied by men. One of the assignments of character, and that includes humility, is to be able to guard you so that you remain. You get the glory you get, the breaks you take, the na I just want to say thank you. You get the glory you you get, the break you break, you take the na I just want to say thank you. So my life. Be glory, be glory, fae. Mine be glory, be glory, Fae. Listen, By the time you begin to prophesy, by the time of revelation comes to you and you addition of scripture a task. Look at me, ladies and gentlemen. By the time people begin to sing your praises Joshua Salman, that is when you are closer to the corridors of destruction. Let me show you the position of a champion in this kingdom. This is it. You get, the glory, you get, the prey, you get the preak. You take the yonda take the I do you want to say thing? You listen. There are men immorality could not bring them down. There are men money could not bring them down. There are men that jealousy could not bring them down. But the one thing that pushed them freely was tried. And thou shalt say in thy heart that my power and the might of my hand that's giving me this. No man can see anything accept it. It's given unto him past us. Let us talk some of these statements that we make on stage that makes it look like we'll be careful. I know we came from backgrounds where maybe nobody believed in you. By the time you make it, you want to rob it in. It's unnecessary. Your assignment is to see Jesus glorified. Some of these statements we make in the name of cliches of ministry. The jealous one is watching. And let me tell you, God can give you something and still fight it if he tries to take his place. There are many, many battles people are fighting that is not by demons. That's why the anointing cannot solve it. Because the annointing was not designed to fight God the anointing only fights what is against God. But if God is the one fighting you, which annoynting are you when you used to fight him? Is it not in your Bible that God opposes? What does it mean to oppose? You know how powerful God is? Who can stand against the Lord? No one can? No one. Listen. This is my final charge. You want to last. Let me show you a powerful key. In all your getting gets humility. Ah, in all your getting gets humility. Don't stand and tell me listen look at me. If I arrange women or men, and I put money and I put pride, I know most of you will think the highest to overcome is the first one. It may not be true. Some of you may think the highest, the most difficult to overcome, is money. It may not be true. Let me tell you the truth. The highest victory of the believer is in the place of conquering pride. Let this man be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. Is that in your bible that though he was equal with God, he did not consider Robert, but he humbled himself. When God begins to do mighty things with you, it is not unusual for men to sing your praises. You become an admiration to everybody. Listen, the person talking to you is not in ignorance. I know what I'm saying. You see bad when the glory of God comes upon your life, if men. Can, they will even worship you. It takes you knowing Ah and letting men know that thank God for the things you are doing. But for God's sake, there is one mightier than I. John got it well initially. I don't know what happened to him. Later on he said that I need decrees that he may decrease. There are past us here, and there are many people hear by this teaching this morning, God is revealing to you that this is what has stopped you. This is why the choice started going down. This is why it looked like the anointing and the grace. Nothing was happening again. Because humility is a mysterious lifter. What is humility. Humility is not denying of yours. Humility is not denying the hand of God. When the hand of God is upon you, it is upon you. If you are blessed, you are blessed. If God has lifted you, you are lifted. Humility is not denying that don't confuse humility with simplicity. If you bring me a bottle of water and you bring me a bag of cure water, I would drink the bottle of water. I'm not going to drink the bag of water as a side. That's not humility. No, no, are we together. Let me tell you what true humility is. Acknowledging Jesus as the basis, the reason for all that you are, and then using that position to glorify. That is humility, my car, my church, my anointing. Let's be careful. Owners are rebels in this kingdom. No body owns anything. Were as stewards in this kingdom. Please listen to me. And the Bible says moreover, it is required in Skei words that a man be found faithful. I'm saying this because after the importation tonight, some of you will be carrying mysterious pass. You will move like wildshire across your lof But I'm giving you a word of caution now, so that when people look at you as are you a human being with these kinds of miracles happening in your hand, don't make the mistake that man, and let me keep quiet there. But there was one of God's generals that made this mistake. He got to a point where because of the excellency of the workings of the spirit in his life, people started calling him certain names, and at a point it got into him. I pray all the time, and I tell God, walk on my heart. I don't even know the tendencies that i'm my heart. Don't sit down and say me, I can never be proud. How much do you have? Where have you gone to? You see there are some things that is the talk of foolish people. I'm not insulting you, I'm just mis since here there are certain levels of glory that when you see sometimes you have to stop yourself from entering it intentionally because of the state of your heart. Allelujah, there are men of God. As soon as they returned from overseas, they said, I would never suffer like this again. I'm not a fool. I've suffered from bet I suffered while God was training me. And now that I went to America, look at what happened. And I won't go back to yesterday or you know, Egypt, or whatever name you call it. And that becomes the beginning of compromise humility. I prayed a prayer to the Lord. Yes, ago, and I'm still praying it now, even as I'm standing on stage. I said, Lord, may I never know the extent of my impact. In the lives of people. It is not necessary. Let me just know that, by the privilege of God's grace, you are using my life to bless people. But never allow me. Know how far the grace you have placed upon my life is blessing people. And God answered that prayer less I be overtaken by pride, because it's a human thing. Look, when you are honest with yourself, you are ready to experience the messy of God. But once you put yourself in this big man position, no, I can't do anything me. Oh, I'm seeing women like trace, I'm seeing money like paper, all those lives. It's why the devil did destroys people. Are we together this morning a broken and a contract heart? Oh God, that will not despise. I'm already giving us the prayer point for this morning because for a few minutes, who are going to cry before the Lord? And says, such my heart, and try my thoughts of God. I do not know the tendencies that are locked up in my heart. Lest I become a disaster to myself and a disaster to others. Pride. Pride has destroyed many businesses. There was a man in the Bible called a rich fool. Those are two words that don't go together, because wealth is a product of wisdom. I don't know how he became a rich fool. What was a foolishness? He built burns and put his wealth there, and set my soul for undrest. And the Lord said, nay, for today your soul is required of you. Ladies and gentlemen, hear me, are presented to you dise templates. These are the templates that those who went before us have followed and have lasted. They have stood the test of time. Let me recap one last time, and then we begin to pray. Please make sure you participate in the prayer. Number one the ministry of strategic and systemic prayer, giving yourself to prayer as a routine. Number two the ministry of the world. A careful study of doctrine, where you hide the world in your heart and with it you learn the ways of God. Number three the power of corporate fellowship. Receiving the multifaceted investments of the spirit as given to the body of Christ. Are we together? Number four? What's number four? Yes, competence. As far as your area of call an election is concerned, you are in the fivefold. Give yourself to be competent in that area. You are in business, any of the mountains at all. Media, you're a worshiper. Don't come and stand and sing and forget what you are saying. Three of you are singing. Only you is singing the third verse, they're remaining to have kept quiet because. You did not Realiz, you did not practice. Are we together? They should be able to wake you up as a man of God and give you a mic to speak in a conference for one week. And you should not be ashamed, because the Bible mandates to be instant in season and out of season. And then number five. Character she firsts among them is humility. Most other character destroying traits partner with pride to walk. Pride is an accelerator of any evil at all. Anything plus pride becomes the worst version of it, foolishness, proos. Pride becomes a higher version. Of foolishness, laziness, excuse me. Plus pride becomes a weak version of Liz. Pride accelerate any dimension of evil in your life. Show me a man that has anything wrong in his life, but with humility is quick to identify that person and show him messy. Thou son of David. I am sick, but I'm not too proud. Have messy on me. And salvation came. But the scribes and the Pharisees, they were around every one of Jesus' who said, yet they were never blessed by it. They were the earliest to come because there was no record of them sitting outside even when there was a crowd. Yet they were never transformed by the world. They were just listening to. The mistakes that you will say. Then they will ask foolish questions. Now that you have said this, let's ask the question which one is better to forgive scenes or to raise These all kinds of questions. You want to become mighty, You want to take your loa for Jesus. You may have heard my teaching on revivals, and I did this one and a just concluded conference in the UK. Also, I thought that revival is threefold. The first and most important part of revival is personal. Remember the church and pagramas the church and smeller the church in Philadelphia, the church in Ethisos. Every one of those churches had commendations and they had things that the spirit of God observed. Okay, you have done well in this. For this return to your first love. You can get it in the message that purified church. You listen to it and pray. That is a real revival tool, the washing of the water, even by the world. When it comes to this issue of consecration, there are no generals there. You die daily. There are generals of faith, there are generals of power. But when it has to do with working with God and submitting and dying daily, nobody calls himself a general there. It's only a liar that says I'm a general. Are we together? The Bible says if we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. But if we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins and to cleanse us from all our righteousness. He was speaking to believe us. This is John's epistle. So the area your heart is open before God, and you go for a retreat. Lord, I found out that in the last one. Week there's an unusual desire for money, this loss for money. It looks like my mind has started drifting away. Show me mercy. That's it. The blood comes to speak Father. It looks like jealousy and pride is already growing in me. The day I saw that man of God, or saw that woman of God, something happened is from the sincerity of my heart. It's as a product of the background that came from. Show me mercy, and the messy of God comes. You may also want to listen to my message on the mercy of God. Not everybody is the candidate of God's messy. No, the messy of God has requirements to work in your life. You find that in some fifty one fifty one was a confession of David. When David, remember David together with the prophet after he killed Rayah and they opened up his seed to him. He cried before God, we have to stop here. Someone ready to cry before the law. We have the next five minutes. I leave you with your maker. For the next five minutes, I want you to cry. I don't know what position fits you, but in the next place, no moving around. Let's respect God. The next five minutes. Le Caparos CALEBRND gebarakos theata, and then shall suffers cast lacosia, the. Helper of men, the helper of men, the helper of men. Someone pray. Repent or prayer lessons, Repent of jealousness, repent of spiritual laxity. Please pray just a few minutes. Take my heart. And mold, take my mind, transform me, take my weed. Count for me. To yours, to yours, Oh Lord, to yours, to yours. Lord, I hand over the ministry, I hand over my reputation. Thank you for the annoycing you have given me. What I declare in the name of Jesus that it belongs to you. Hand over your life, are fresh again to him? Just two more minutes. I'm your Sami, yours, I'm your forever, I'm your your samios, I'm yours. My life is yours, it's yours, it's yours forever, it's. Your city, yours, It's yours. Please pray one more minute, your praying. Shapherd on my soul. I give you full control. Wherever you malely, I will call, and I have made. A choice that I will listen for your voice. Wherever you malely, I will go. Allelujah. Allelujah, Allelujah. Where happ you know this is how great men are made. Carry this formula and apply to any member. In your church who submits, you will find power. I want to speak a word to someone and then will be done for today and prepare for tonight. I sense in my heart that there are men of God here. They are women of God. There are people who may not be in ministry, who have been broken. Listen carefully and are disappointed. Some of you have served God sincerely with integrity of heart, but it looks like this finances is not answering. Some of you may be your homes, maybe some of you your children, and people even look at you. On point and say, can you imagine this? What a good man? But see the kind of useless children that he has. Some of you are trusting God for money, maybe to build your church, to be able to have a place of your own. I have a word for you, and I want you to listen. This is what God said. I should tell you. God will make a way. Where the same STUPI the way I'm not singing. He walks in ways we cannot see. He will make a way for you, and he will be your guy. Holds you close, lit with love and strength for rich live day. He will make away. My God will make her way. Let me prophesy one more time, my God, who make her pray for the sick, and nothing happened. You called for a sincere meeting. I prayed for dead bodies that did not come back to life. I walked out of that place. Sincerely, You're not the first to be disappointed. You called upon the name of the Lord in the meeting and you're left in shame. Don't worry. There is a working he's doing in you. You told everybody God prospers and your Landlord drove you out the Choice building and your house building in the presence of everybody, and people looked at you and said, go and work on yourself. This is my final word. It may not be for everybody, but I'm speaking to someone. I perceive in my spirit that there are many leaders. Some of you have been fought by people, You have been called names, and you are saying, what is it? Because I answered the call. Some of you may not even know what to do. Now you're even about to give up to say this ministry, I'm tired, honestly, Some of you married men and women of God. You are about to regret because it looked like you had a better life and you now came to rubbish yourself. Can I tell you you never go down with God. You can fail alone, but you cannot fail with God. You cannot feel God take it down for me. Let me comfort somebody before we close. Will you hold on through the storm? Listen to me? Please hold on to these work Your life will soon reveal. He's the lift rough Man, the lift rough Man, man of God. Hear me? Will you go on through the storm? Will you hold on to these were even though you are crying, Your story is abound to change by the Lift rough Man, the Lifter rough Man. Many years ago, nobody knew me. Then I was invited to go for a meeting. I prayed, I fasted. It was raining. The meeting was not very far from my house and the people were waiting for me. I had a choice to just stay back there or to walk towards the meeting. And I said, Lord, for you, not for any name. I carried my Bible and I stepped out in that rain, And while the rain. Was beating me, I was going with joy. Eventually I got a bike and I climbed that bike. When I got to the church, they did not even keep a seat for me. It was when I got there that the people just pushed someone. You know, I just came in and they dressed people and kept the seat there. I was drenched, but I was happy. And then they acted drama, They sang, they wrapped, they did all kinds of things. And then when it was the time to come and preach, they just past the little papers. Said please, because of time, let me just walk with ten or fifteen minutes, and you imagining after praying and all of that, that was a pruning and then making by God working on your character. And I finished with all my heart those days when you finished praying. I didn't even know there was something called on a radium. And then the way they. Anor is as if you tell them to go, because it is until you climb the bike first. Then you see two a you know this two A exercise book that they tear half of it. They just put something no, no, please, God bless him. All right, no problem. Well when you come, just just do that on the ground here the Lord, Oh no, you thank you. I really feel embarrassed for these kinds of things. My apologies. Please carry drop it in your film bascre, thank you, alleluja. And step by step. There were times where they will invite me and they did not even know how I arrived there, but I still went gradually. I'm comforting you because don't have bought something pressures that is being bettered because of offense. I went to preach somewhere. They did not obey or I'm a pastor, and they said, well, we have a broader here, come and preach. Don't worry, it does not kill anything. It was the time to sing, and they invited every other person, and then they gave you five minutes. They said, please, can you just raise if his three verses sing. One, no problem, goe sing it. It's an honor to serve the King, serving with all your heart, because when you are faithfully and little, you are faithfully much. In the name of. Jesus Christ, I decree and declare the power of the Holy Spirit that for many of you you begin your journey from today that reveals the glory of God upon. Your life, shouting loud amen, I decree and I declare that as you begin to work in keeping with these mysteries. That of prayer, that of the world, that of fellowship, that of competence, and that of character, even humility. May it knew you begin to evolve. May a powerful you begin to evolve. May you that is full of wisdom begin to evolve. May the glory of God rise so marvelously upon your life. May you become a man to be wondered at. May you become a praise even to the nations. In the name of Jesus Christ. Now for tonight, let me encourage you. Let me let my voice with his lordship the Bishop, to encourage you tonight. The time to be ministering to people is a miracle and an importation service. That is when you will be receiving. There's no time now to begin to do any importation. Please, I want you to invite, particularly men and women of God, Let them come. When God sends a word to Jacob, it is because he wants it to be lightened upon Israel. Away together. Now that we stand here, ministrying does not mean we're better than anybody. It's just the privilege of the grace of God. And that which God gives is for the edification of the body corporately. Allelujah. So invite your loved ones, those who are hungry and crying. Invite your memberships. Whether there's no space inside, if you have to sit on the roof, seat there, but make sure your heart is open to receive, to be delivered from every kind of yoke. And as I'll always do it the permission of His lordship. May I request that you'll come with your prayer requests or some of the orsers. You can have, maybe a prayer, whatever it is, so that people can write their prayer requests. The Bible says on to be that answers prayer, shall all flesh come, will be lifting up. A cry to Heaven, to visit families and to speak over the territory of your loa. Because it's a new season, and it's a time of birthing the new. It's the time for a new dimension of the glory of God to come. For now, may the Lord bless you, and may the Lord honor you in Jesus saying
