Tonight. The major channel of terms giving will be terms giving by a dance. So we are still going to dance. You know, when you are in a place where you cheaply receive in depth revelation, you're in a place where you see God do mighty things with ease. If you're not careful, you take it for granted. You come here every week, you are hearing things that blow your mind. You are just past talk. But the goal is not just to excite you, is to help you understand the power and the potency of the things you are receiving, so that you are made and you are blessed. I was teaching them in South Africa three. Days ago, and I began to tell them the significance of the ministry of the world. There are many minutes in the body of Christ availed us by the Holy Spirit. I'm the Father. There is the ministry of men. We are God annoying and sends men to different generations, and they bring the counsel of God and the possibilities of God. There is the ministry of angels. We are ingelic functionaries are commissioned by God to bring His verities to people and to generations. Even Jesus himself. While he was on earth, he received of the ministry of angels, the Bible said, and angels came and strengthened him after he was tempted on the mount of temptation. There is the ministry of the Spirit, where the Holy goes, breaks of honest people and thus of a natural thing by his abilities and by his will. But there is one ministry that every one must have because the work of the Lord in salvation begins from that ministry. That's the Ministry of the World. God trains people through the world. God blessess people through the world. Everything that can be achieved through every other ministry can be achieved through the Ministry of the World, and of course of the Spirit. And so I was sharing with them, and I told them there are three critical components. Of the Ministry of the World. And I'm laying this foundation to help someone because I've come to discover that many Christians only know one way to be blessed. Man of God, Pray for me, Man of God, lay hands on me. And this is why we have told men to God instead of men of God. They have become gods of men because we have refused to receive of the many channels that God has made available. I know God uses man to bless men, and that's why I told you about the ministry of men. But you see, as a believer who is surrounded by the superfluous grace of God, you'll be doing yourself a great disfavor to reduce the possibility of being blessed only by the channel of a man praying for you or laying hands on you. There are many ways to be blessed in fast it is an aberration for a Christian. Not to be blessed. Give them what is available. The Bible, speaking in First Corinthian Street twenty one, is that you shouldn't glory in men except for all things are yours. All things. And in case you don't have an idea what the Bible means when it there's all things like yours, Second Peter Chapter one, best three told. Us it gets context. There's all things that pertains to life and to Godliness. Is that it has been made available to you if you're apprehend the knowledge that makes it accessible. So it's not just all things, but all things that pertain to light and Godliness. So everything you need to live like Christ on the earth and everything you need to live a glorious life, life to the full has been made available. Your inability to receive it is the reason why you may be struggling in whatever circumstance. You find yourself. And one of the words to get and break into the many things God that's made available to us is to lend it through the world. And so I thought you here that the ministry of the world is in three toads. The first caad of the ministry of the wor Lord is where you are trained. You are equipped, you are built up so that you are able to model the character of God. In Second Timothy chapter three, if you read from verse fifteen to sixteen and seventeen, the Bible said, from the death of their youth, it is that thou hast known the holy scripture, which is able to make the whits onto salvation. And it said all scripture, the word scripture, there is the word graph a. It means the leading word of God, is that it's given by the inspiration of God. And it said it's not just giving to educate you decide, it is profitable. That means whatever you do with what is writting will profit you. It's not to your disadvantage. And he said, in case you don't understand, these are the cod. Dimensions of property you have. It's the number one. It will give you understanding of doctrine. That's the ways of God. Number two it will reprove you. Number three it will correct you. And number four it will instruct you. And when this for erran or the reason world is achieved is that the Man of God will be perfect. He will be perfect that means mature, and he will be thoroughly funnished. He will be equipped, equipped to a point where he is able to advance the works of God. So the first element or level of the ministry of the world is to build you up fast. That I commend you to God and to the world of his grace, which is able to keep you and to build you up, and to give you an inheritance amongst them which are scientified. So a believer who is not introduced to the ministry of the world will not matchure in the things of God. If the strong me de Prouce five fourteen belongs to them. Who are of full age, who, by reason of the use of the Word of God. Have exercised their senses to discern between good and evil, so it builds you up. But that's not all the ministry of the World does to you. If you read John chapter one, that's one to four, you'll see the second layer of the ministry of the world. The second layer of the ministry of the world is to upgrade your intellect so that you begin to operate at the level of the mind of Christ. Because God actually wants you to think like him. That is the way God thinks that makes him sit in the office of the Creator. Imagine Jenesis chapter one, from verse one and two. The Bible said, in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. And it said the earth was void. The word void is to who who it. Means chaos, destruction, and waste. It said, darkness was upon the face of the deed. When God show up, godda, what is this this word that I leveled and created? Oh no, no, the. Bible said, the spirit of the law bother upon the face of the water, and God said light pea, and light appeared. He constructed the heath. If you were the one panis, you will have high blood pressure. But that's the way God thinks that empowers him to create even nothing. Something from nothing is a mind. It's a kind of mind that creates. The ministry of the World wants to upgrade you to that level of thinking the past. There entered the university many years ago. I saw something lively on the walkway. Is that the world is ruled by ideas. Make one. It changed my mind that people who rule, they are the people who are the kind of mindset. There's an intellect that brings dominion. The second thing the. Ministry of the world wants to do for you is to bring you to that of great mind. In First Corinthians two, if you read from. Bestweve to fourteen, it says we have not received the spirit that is of this world. It is that we have received the spirit that is of God. So we know the things freely given to us by God. Is that these things we speak not with wars? The human wisdom teaches it war was that the Holy Goost teaches. Comparing spiritual things with spiritual is that the natural. Man receive that not the things of the spirit of God, even though it's available, he can't receive it. Is that neither can he know them, because they are spirituary. Discis the mind of the nature. A man produces death. If you study Romans eight five and six, he said. The Kanna mind is dead. The Kanna mind to be kannad be minded. That a mind that opperates only at the level of logic. It can't create. This is that in the six thing of first Corenians to this that. But we we have the mind of Christ. But you see, for you to operate at the level of the mind of Christ, you need to come to the second level of the ministry of the world. And that's where the logo comes in. Is that in John one Best one to four in the beginning was the world? Is that the Word was with God and the world was God? Is that all things were made by him without him? Was not anything made that was made in him? Was life? The life was the light of men. Is that the light shines and the darkness the darkness comprehensions not so. The job of the logos needs to bring life and illumination to you. So you think beyond the realms of darkness. You think at the level of the mind of God. That realm is no longer to correct you, it's no longer to build you up. That operation is to give you a creative and a productive mind. So that you can turn chios to order, so that you can turn death back to forest, so that you can turn death to life, so that you can turn waste to productivity. It's the realm of the ministry of the world. This is why does of you who do business with the one the point that come when you are reading the Bible, God is giving you an idea, a multimillion dollar idea. You are reading the Bible, God is giving you strategy on how to take a territory and to win. So you have migrated from the grape to the logos. But God, it does not stop there. There is yet a higher level in the ministry of the world. The highest level of the ministry of the world is the level of the At the level of the Ramma, you don't just have the mind of Christ. The voice of God now comes to you. And when the voice of God comes. To you, what is dog is that it carries you. The Bible said, holy men of God, they peck as they were moved by the spirit of God. You'll come to a level where you become God's representative. In this situation, you know, you can think like God, but you are not God. Read God's rep You can't think like God. But you are not changing for God necess really. But when you start dealing with the ramma, what happens is that you become the amplifier of God. Anything God wants to do, he whisper pass to your heart, you and emit it. You not this MICROPHONLEI is amplify my voice. That's the way I can shut here for everybody in this goal. And they overflow for hear me, even those online. But with the agency of the mic I'm talking the whole is head hearing. They overflow because it's amplified. When the ramma operation of the world comes, you become an amplifier of divine possibilities. So like Elijah, I see a car a cloud like a man's fist. They called this abundance of rain a fast became an abundance of rain. That's where God wants to bring you to. This is why Jesus said a Matthew four vers. Three and four when season came to turn to him. If you're the son of God, turn the stone to breath. Is a man shall not live by bread alone, but by every ramma that proceeded from the world of God. That ramma is power that's what brings faith to your heart. Is that faith comet by hearing, hearing by the ramma of God. So you are able to do what God can do, and you amplify what God is doing. Imagine, Jesus says in John fourteen. Twelves the works that I do, you can do also greater works than this. How can you do greater than what Jesus did? Because you are not the one doing it. It is Jesus doing it in you. When it sents this war was to you, you animit it. So it's no longer Jesus walking em bodily form by his spirit. He's not walking through you. So indirectly it is Jesus walking. But now He has. Given you the privilege to be the one embodying in responsibilities. So the ministry of the world comes to build you, It comes to upgrade your mind, and it comes to empower you to represent God so that you can do and produce divine possibilities. But you see, when that ministry comes, there are many tripotries. So it is your duty now through the world to understand the trip but trees through which that ministry produces what God wants to produce. Laying on of hands is one. Prophecy is another. For these are not the only channels to reduce yourself to. Unti, a man of God lays hands on me, UNTI, somebody propherty over me before what I'm looking for can happen. It means you have not learned the ways of God. It means you have not been exposed to the ministry of the world. When you are exposed to the ministry of the world, are the channels through it God do? What God does becomes available to you, and you too can unique God and produce the results that God produces. And tonight, one of. The channels that the ministry of the world refers to us as a tributary through which the right possibilities can be animated is the channel of thanksgiving. The reason with thank God is not just because we are grateful, of course we are grateful, we are not English, but beyond being grateful, we have under food from the ministry of the world God. That this thing God, thanks giving is a mystery, and God is using it as a channel of producing design possibilities in our lives. You know, I was so exhausted over the weekend. What I'm teaching you now. I was commanded by the Holy Spirit to teach it because I've taught it a couple of times, and I was I flew eleven hours over night Friday to start today from South Africa straight to London and then drove four hours to Manchester. I dropped my back to rest and the Holy Gost told me to do your people understand why they gift times? I said, Lord, we have thought this over and over. I don't know you have been preaching it for do they understand it? Now? Don't on me that it's like this before. I've not gotten this thing. That they are excited when I preach. Don't not mean they know it. Because your attitude shows when you know something is reflected in your attitude. And because you don't know it, that's why you don't have the results. Because they proved that you know something is spiritual. Context is the result you command is that you shall know the truth and you will not talk about it. Only you shall know the truth. The truth shall make you free. So if you have understood the meaning of thankgiving, they are certain results we command. Because the ministry of the world shows us the resources the tanksgiving commands, and so God taught me to come back and teach you why we give tanks, And so this evening I will not be sold thanatory. I will all show you, one after the order, the need trees of Thanksgiving, and I will show you, in a very simple person. How to give tanks, so that if after today. You don't command us with thought Heaven, we know that I have shown you the counsel of God. I have to preach that same stat today, for God was talking to me about this, Davis. Can you imagine after tonight, everyone under the sound of my voice will commanded resorts of tantim Do you know why I am rocking this pitch into the world. The Bible say heaven and et we passed away if they're not one shot or titu of my world. But that means if you just kept chatting the world, you can bank. Your life on it. If it is not happening, it's not because what the world said it's not true. It's because you are not doing it. If you understand it and you'll do it, it must show in your life. And so very quickly I want to show you heaven mysteries of Thanksgiving. You know it already, but I'm commanded to show you they God have thought. You before the fact reason with thank God. Now all of this ah after gratitude, because gratitude of cost is one of the major reasons. With thank God. We are not ungrateful people. We have charged our lives and we have concluded that if it were not for God, the enemy would have made a mess of us. If it were not for God, even the life we have would have lost it. So we thank him because we are grateful. But beyond gratitude, there are mysteries that are companies thanksgiving. So when you dance, don't be lost in the excitement. The dance and the excitement is the provooker of a mystery, and until it becomes your consciousness, you will not have the result. Because Philemon wants. It said that the communication of your faith becomes is sexual by the knowledgend of every good thing that is in you. So a man who does this without understanding or consciousness can't have the result. This is why God has asked me to show you again, so that you will have tell me body to procure what you are looking for. Even if there were no prophet to prophesy by you, I keep telling you The presence of a prophet is an otter advantage, but. Your destiny it is not that the message of a man. In case you don't have any prophets in your life till you die, it doesn't mean you are doomed. God will not tie your outcome to a man. The man. The presence of the man myself inclusive is another advantage, and we recognize that. Nonetheless, you must know the things that God that's made available for you as his child to end paging, to develop you and to bless you. Imagine what Paul said. Paul was present, but Paul was telling you charge beyond me. I commend you to God and to the world of His grace, which is able to give you, to build you, and. To give you an inheritance. So the presence of the spirit and the world is superior to our presence. But the problem is that many don't want to do what the ward says. Somebody can wait on an appointment for three weeks, but they can't stay with the world for thirteen minutes. And it's wondering why his life is the way it is. Soday, God wants to show you something that will unlock setting possibilities in your life that you can engage in your bedroom. Number one mystery or tankgiving is that tankgiving crans access access to God, access to the things of this spirit, and access to men. There is no man that you show gratitude too that will not openly. Stare for you. A man may be careful with you, trying to starty you, but when he says that you are grateful, he will open his foewels to you. Look at Luke seventeen. I share with you many times the story of the Lepers from the fourteen to seventeen ten Lepers sow them, haven't messy or not son. Of David, and Jesus thore them. God, show yourself to the priest. The demonstrated faith as they were on their way. They were healed. One came back and here Jesus this question, where are denied? I won't. Jesus wanted to see thanksgiving before he opens himself completely. The moment came. Back, they never access God give that one they or that nine never had it. If you want to have access with God to the things of the series. To men, you must master the art of thanksgiving. I was listening to a man of God with some time back story sent down, and I say, you're blessed on people what they cannot do for themselves. When you finish, they send you a word thanks, and. That tank means never happen me again. They came back in crawling on their knees. You are moved by compassion. When you now bless them, you hear thanks. They are becoming masters of lingo. They have become civilives. The moment they say thanks, the next time they send the message, they will never get replied, because it's natural. If you're breathful, you short doors against yourself. In our generation, some people don't even have sense. Some people we call. You, we send you a message, man of God, how are you doing? The next thing they will say, I need help is UGent and they will drop I can't number. How are you doing? That will not even work for you to say, fine, how are you? They will not appreciate you that your life has been a blessing to them. Pray life sentence. I can't number. It's already standing like an ego. Dear. When I say such messages, unless the Holy goes touches my heart, I just move on. I said, this one doesn't have sense. What is problem is no money is full listeners. You want access, we're that god or man you need tank giving. Look at the scripture some one hundred best is that answer is gays with thankgiving. The guests are not open to everybody. If the answer is cops with praise. I see a lot of people who leave off first thing I'm praying, trying to break into rams in God. Now, first thing is important. Prayer is important. But you know what, you will never hear thank you in their prayer. That's why they're fast. They end up it author. You have no access. Jesus taught me many years ago. He said, they are for prayers. You must always pray. Lord, have me, Lord, have messy on me. Lord, thank you, Lord, show me your wal If that is for prayers, we make you invinc people. See, no matter how you know how to fast or pray in thankgiving, it is not there. Be ready to be locked out any day, anytime when you are dog speaking in tones for ten hours. Next show, you don't leave that author until you say thank you Jesus. And don't just say. Thank you a pend mine deadly tell him the reason why you are thanking him for salvation, for pre salvation, did pit that you are truly glad through. It's not a cliche. There are people who can't to remember when last the tank God. They don't even have a reasoning for tank God thanking God anytime. The mid two nothing is walking, Thank you for that prophecy. Nothing we walk. You are talking, yet nothing is walking. How did your tongue walk? How did your brain work? They don't ever remember to tang go. That's why they don't have access. It now looks as if God is biased to work on people. Know that is thankgiving, the more gratitude, the wider and brother your horizon in case access. Look at dann Here dan Here chapter two. The King had a dream and taught them to come and into British. When the wise man showed up, the King say, you think I don't know you tell me the dream before you enter Britige. If I tell you the dream, you will lie to me. And the people truly thought the king, what you are asking for is only among the gods, And Danlia said, give us time. There is a God that revealers secrets. He knew the key to enter. You will say, come on, Danniere's a prophet. He knew God will show him God. See how Dannia entered into the mystery. Verse nineteen and twenty three. The Bible said, then was the secret reveat to Dannia in the night vision. But who was the Dannier? Go to the twenty three and see why Danniel God the secret. He was a man of thankiving. I thank thee I Franzy, Oh thou God of my Father, who has given me wisdom and might and has made nod onto me, now what we desired of thee. He knew he entered through tranksgiving. I thank you all, God of my Father. You give me wisdom in the first place to be able to seek you, and now you have shown you you thinking he just knew because he was a prophet. There are many prophets that have no access. There are many apostles that have no access. But in the realm of God and in the realm of men, and there are songs who had access. They are in gratitude. Shut that door against them. If the mystery, when we are thanking God, here forget your neighbor. Some people are children of intercessors. They are fathers for their butts. They are working in the inheritance. Yeah, there are some people they are children of great, great, great men. I went to preach somewhere with the man of God. They invited God of us. We were on the same fire when they came to receive me. They are not before the need to God that's given me you. But when they want to receive they are that minister bro hmm, I shook at. I said, only if food despise this inheritance. Only if. If you sit there, Oh no, And then majesty, if you like call yourself a possible professor. Oh goddamn, man has the inheritance. He came in the honor of his father. You don't have it. You are steep, beauty. You need access, but you can't thank God. You pocket your hand and you are saying, what are these people? Does it like this? Don't worry? After five years time, will you answer your question. They are present God. You look at us, you look at up your. S say, guy, it's too much. Don't worry. You know what David said he looked at Micah, is that your father didn't make me king. I have access to this throne by God. So when I thank him, it's not apologetic. I didn't have connection. If this was personal connection, even in my father's house. They didn't consider me worthy. When someone came to annoy the sons of Jetty, they brought out level. They forgot the kid. That means Stephen was not qualified to be blessed. That is the anything out of him. God found him out from the weakness. God made him a king. So when the guy was thanking God, he knew Thanksgiving was his access to the truth. Do you want to enter your throne? If you don't thank God, you're at the buried in oblivio I prophesy over someone not access you have been looking for. By thanks kipping tonight you will enter. Some of fouls don't have people. That's why we look for the secrets of God. Some of you have prophets in your family. That's frock your future. Some of you have diloon hears that then for you. Your job is to learn how to spend. Some of you have people who established ministries and the medsicone cause you are on top with one of folks don't have anybody, So we have to such into the world. Unless confect the mysteries of God. There is no day in my life that I don't then thank you Father on countable times no there. That's why we sow No we have access to Oh we have access. They pressie we enter. There are few people at our level pupy edge and ministry that enter. There's a mystery at work. Envy us at your perie. If you want to rise, this is the secret. This is a secret. I wish that I have time to tell you some things, but we don't have time. Number two need free of Thanksgiving is multiplication. If you have abundance, don't worry. But those the first who are small, I want to increase it one of the ways to en gender increase. I'm showing you this thing. This is not just another stamon. I'm showing you secrets to change your life. If you don't want to live from hand to mouth, if you don't want to leave avenging. Oh my god, sometimes I look at my itinery and I'm wondering. We have the messages coming from See what we say, increase It's not just money and food. Do is increasing everything? If I tell you how many places have stood in the last three. Weeks, thefore you we say on arrest. Now you know the tire for free? You can't you light that revelation is coming. See I have a phone dedicated to writing. They didn't just keep polling increase of grace, increase of operas, increase of revelation, increase of pray for increase of annoyty. You are wandering how. After flying in level hours and driving four hours from South Africa to London to Manchester, I went and preached. There were four fathers of the land who were present. In first one introduced me and this is a white man. You know this before. I'm not the most gonna. They don't have time to hype user. The guys he came last day when he had me that what kind of man is this? Every three minutes? They said, complete demo every three he said, he checked my sermon. Every Simon has more than twenty semonths. So it's that way. Nothing thoughted this guy, and he sat on my message. In fact, there I got into Manchester, he insisted on taking me out. He didn't just want to say thank you. The next day, after I preached, the other one said my message. He said, when you were speaking, truly my heart was born in I remember Pentecost God see. Husban bro Peter Elder in the land British and they didn't know that I was coming from preaching over fifty semons in the last three weeks. Yeah, fresh and full of revelation. Now this is because I'm a preacher, so I need the world. You are a businessman, you'll increase is money and connection. You may not need one thousand messages in three months. You need doors to open. You need connections. How we these connections multiply if you don't get tanks. One of the greatest precostos of multiplications in the Kingdom in terms thanksgiven humback up three from West seventeen to nineteen. The profits knew this. They burry themselves there. They say, although the fifth trees are not blows. He said, Leader, should there be fruit in the vine the liver of the only shaf faith, and the field shay no meat. The flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no head in the tore. This is dryness on every side. He say, Yet, that we rejoice in the Lord. I will joy in the God of my salvation. The way I access the God that heaves is by rejoicing it him. Is that the Lord God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hind sweet. He will make me to walk upon my high places. They knew the secret. When you are thankful, you are fruitful. You cannot be dry when you are full of fancies. God check people who are dry. They are full of complaints and lamentation. Why is this so? Why is this not happening? What God? God is an evil heart of unbelief, reasy every day you for a reason to be thankful as he multiplies into over shadow all the places. The woman of God, what a decripture. Some sixty seventh verse five, to see it say let the people pleasy, it said, Then they act chy. Your increase is let the people prais these, Let the. People press thee. That is the way you multiply by investment. That is natural. Anybody can do it. But that's not a way to multiply. When you give tanks, they add with you that increase. I've scared with you before John six eleven to thirteen, Jesus free to five thousand men, not counting women and childred. What do you have for them? Five loaves and two fish. In the desert? What do you do there? You can't tread, you can't plant. There's no throwing and ripping in that context. Now showing and ripping is very important. We teach have work here. But there are times in your life where there will be no ground to throw, and there will be no time to invest. You'll need this natural to throw. Such was the situation. What did Jesus do? He lifted the five loops, he lifted the two fish, and he gave tanks take pep to them. The fifty five thousand men, not counting women and children. When you read this picture, what does him minister to you? Don't you know your ministry can multiply? Don't you know your health can multiply. Don't you know your business can multiply? Substitute lamentation for Thanksgiving? And see wonders. I saw a graphic example two weeks ago one of our people here who just got married, brother Lafel. Two years ago. Did guy joined the volunteers every day he was around. When I saw him consistent and he saw this cheerfol respectful and cheerful. He probably was going through the most difficulty among everybody there. For you never had a complaint from him. Three a full rest back to committed. When I saw him consistently, I said no, put him on the salary. On the talary struction immediately. He didn't asked for it. They put him there. After three months I got passed any. Tapu his salary. They now he was to get married. I didn't know wonder. Way announced him his marriage here. I just wisher to wen d give him five from the thousand, and he said, I'm giving five. From the thousand. Wisdom that was little said I'm adding three hundred thousand. No Willa was leading Wisdom shouted our three hundred thousand, or Winner said our two hundred thousand. They were announcing his wedding. One million came out. You think that's the blessing? Ask him at the end of the service. If on last. Week I was in Lenogu to preach, somebody chat that mean that have songs from the US wants to support the marriage and sent to one millionum. That's the one way I know it is the first person who is getting married here. It's not the first marriage announced here or the mysteries control this. Ramo say when things are wrong, thank him. There is a tank giving that is gratitude. That's another thanksgiving that say provocol blessings. When you're pleasing the act who you have increased number three, Why do we thank him. What is a mystery. Thanksgiving and Gender's deliverance. There are many battos where you will have the strength to fight. You. I know you understand warfare. We are top warfare. Here take on the whole arm of God. There are finds when you will fight some battles, even the arm of God to be head for you. You will tell yourself why am I practicing righteous? Now? And things are growing difficult. The more you are right jous, the more you are. Both in Jesus does not help you. Your were almost compromised. Did you not read your Bible? We have The Bible asks that God intervels quickly. Let the righteous budd his hand into indipity. There are pass. Better readiness, readiness of the gospel. You're stand up. You want to go out for soul willing cry. The last five days you have not had even gary to it. You will walk to your dom. Flow down now the God is Gary, Lord, send the helper. Otherwise there stands with that the brute is there. You are overwhelmed. You got check for out exercising faith something pocketly. When they set him up in the city, the Bible said they tied them up, brought them to the market square and flog them. We didn't hear his voice again. You know for boys, the man that you want to talk to him. I'm a Roman citizen. I want to appear before s. Those people didn't have that are dolts who don't respect the law. They tied the man of God. Oh brought him to the market strep in naked. When they're flogging, he dropped the city slip in his pocket, because the more you want to talk, the more you you just come. By your head. When they took them to breathing, he knew that this one this kind of bad. To see those gift tons Jo gif Toimes. I've tried everything. No weapon is walking, so the Bible said him Acts sixteen twenty five Paul and Silas. Is that in printing at midnight they prayed the dead turns. The prisoners head them. So then the things began to check were no human connection was present. We have prayed was not at work. We are anointing was not moving. When citizen Ship didn't walk, the only thing for hard was to keep tongs. And the Bible said they foundation of the prison shook this thing. Listen, there are tanks. When you can exercise fit. I know you without me. There are thanks when all your connections we pay. There are times when you know we're not even sense the anointing for start with. And there are thanks when even the law that. Puts dignity on you as the city day people, we break it to oppress you. The only thing we have is to say evening in. Depeat, thank you Jesus. That is the way that kind of voice goes to heaven. If an act angine. Needs to be deployed, it will be deployed, or he will be deployed. And the foundation of the Briton shook. The Bible said they thought or pulled on their own accord. The Jela that was supposed to keep them behind us was the one that let them out. See when you give thanks, the way. God that corrects your deliverance is that those who wanted to kill you will be the worst fighting for you to leave. There are thanks going There will be no proper to call. There are thanks God, There will be no apostle to lay hands from you. There are thanks when. All you we have is your God. You will need to know how to accept him, and the way to accept him is to THANKIV of us can't thank it's too hard for us. Somebody lays hands on us. This was a handkerchief, po o ye on our head. If we don't find that person for ten years, will carry an affliction. Come on now, why will you carry an affliction for ten years? When there are many channels. Get tanks. When Jonah was locked up in the belly of the way, he knew that the only way out was thanksgiving. In Jonah Chapter two. You read from verse nine to ten everything had failed. Jonah cried from the belly of the fish, and on account of thanksgiving, the fish received the commanded commandments of the Lord to permit him on the show. There's nothing that can swallow you off. You just need mysteries to become invincible. And one of the mysteries you tread with in this kingdom is thankgiving Number four. I told you thankgiving makes you hold Deliverance is one thing, wheness is another. Hope. You know you can't be delivered, but the effect of what you went through can remain with you. If they accuse you wrongly for results that you raped someone or that you stole. Even if you come out of that crisis, hope, you know the stigma will remain. So deliverance is not God beat Beyond deliverance, that is wholeness. What thank giving does for you is that a fact delivering you. It makes you hold See there is the level of poverty you we enter. Even if you end up becoming a bloonea, the effect of that property remain with you. What do you think you see some people they want to show off everything inferiority complex poverty has had re engineered. They are so structure, so they are floating the air watch, floating their belt, flaunting their car. They never feel sufficient because the poverty is not just lack of money. It has done something to their thinking. So they are always trying to show you they are important. They have twenty four titles, chieftains the titles when they draftop they changed that too much. They change what You even strangle them. What person is wearing four? Change one is bigger than my fist? Oh gada, you are not the dog. And they are rolling alund with. Forbad. They have mass mirized there. Now they have money, but they are spore mentally. So they are not whole. They are not whole. This is white beyond deliverance. Thanksgiving also makes you and you. But in that stripture, look seventeen from verse seventeen to nineteen. The one that came back, Jesus said, the midhole. Now we're hied of leprosy. The ten to one was not only heeled of leprosy, he was mid whole. There are things that are have followed us, some from our foundations, some from the circumstances. With suffold that even though God has delivered us, we are seeing chains. Somebody told the story of a Provabia elephant. They tried the elephant to a stick, and the elephant had only a particular distance to move and moved around that the time for years. When they eventually removed the chain, there was no more change. But the elephant couldn't go beyond that level. Hope, you know the written some of you can't dare to start your own business. It's because of your background. The written some of you cannot succeed in ministry is because of your background. A chain in your mind while you are rising, somebody oppressed you, somebody intimidated you, somebody manipulated you. So now it looks like a thing for you to break that in realms, if you. Don't know how to thank God that invincible chain will meet you. People know you are now said in Cristes number five. Tank Giving creates atmosphere for the miraculous. There are atmospheayers that support miracles, signs and wonder, why do you think when we come to charge with that time to pray, to give down to. Praise, we are building faith, we are building energy. They anointing in the spirit so that the miraculous can be possible. It is rocked. It's not a coincidence. The Bible God is walking of miracles. But one of the fastest way of creating an atmosphere for the miraculous is thanksgiving. When you get tanks, even your words become potent. Look at Jesus. He was at the tomb of Lazarus. He was dead, for they friend had decayed. Jesus knew he was the resurrection and the life. He said it. John eleventh, twenty device. When he saves, is that I'm the resurrection and the life. He that believed in me shall not die, and even if you were dead, he shall live again. But when he. Went to practical life the power of the resurrection, how did he prepare the atmosphere in the forty and forty one. I thank your Father that you all Louise hear me the moment Jesus gave tanks, he knew it was impossible for the supernatural and not to happen. Show there matos comport. You want to create change. You just turned up and you're talking, talking, talking, things are not happening. God, Damn some prins. God. First, when you prepare. The atmosphere, even the oxs will come out of you. You think the woman of God plans to stand here and profess I You think when she was coming up, she. Told herself that when I go up and we tell them in twenty. Four hours, things will turn around. It was never planned. But at the praise is going up. At the praise is going up. Faith is rightly as faith is rightly the prophetic word concord. Even why you say, do we not know? They will not let her tell you, SA you told me this will happen, and it happened, and you will be shocked. Carry that atmosphere or can't give it? Carry it. You need the supernatural. No matter how smart, diligent, hardworking you are, you need the supernatural. You are in the world dominated by series. This is why you must be hard working, productive, discipally, but over and above that carry your own atmosphere. And the way you carry your atmosphere is through thanksgiving and will top here. But if you're able to provoke these type things, there's no way your life will remain the same by the end of this year. Even need not partly propheties to you again, your weabit shocked how your life remove this thing. Whatever you thank God for multiplies that you're married, that is having a problems, that your job die, your business you have complained for two years as anything changed, your God substituted for Thanksgiving. Say what happens in your life, then you will know that truly the world of God is year and in Christ Jesus is a man. Now, as we go into the Thanksgiving session, how do you give them? Because one thing to tell you what to do, and it's another thing to tell you how to do it. Five words to give times. Number one is the hat posture of gratitude. It doesn't begin with talking, It begins pressed with the heart. You know why many people can't see the results of thanksgiving. They are just re echoing what somebody has sank from the place of gratitude. You're hearing Jyomama yoma. You don't know what she encountered. You are sinking a heart, but your own heart is distracted. You can't have the result. The songs are vehicles, but make sure your own heart is right. That's why you need to count your blessings. You come for a serbvice like this, don't just dress up and say. It's four clock and start. Don't need to encounter jus blis with no stay down, but ware to God in this. Month of September, what have you done for me? And you take a minute, you take one hour. You remember where you as capt accident. You remember where they showed you favor. You remember where you had promotion. As you are listening to it, a point will come your heart with breakport with thanski me. So when you are thinking, you are not thinking somebody's song. You are giving forlorn to the vibrations of your heart. Malachi too versue. If you will not hear, and if you will not lay it too hat to give glory onto my name, heared the Lord of Hosts. It's a lane too hat. It begins here. If we took a sense of here, how many people contemplated what God did for him before coming here. You'll be shocked. It's not too ten percent. Do you know what? I came here principally to thank God for tonight. I threw into this country this morning. My travel details was a bit all that, so I couldn't do a beer. I had to fly from Manchester to myself, from myself to Eiopia, from Ethiopia to Abuja. And I've been flying like that for the whole month. I told myself, how come my flight has never crashed. It's not faith, it's not discernmant, it's messy. There are people who flew once that was the flight that crashed. I was going to Australia this month. I flew for three hours months after flying space hours to do her. Every day I'm in the air. The last two nights I slept in the air flight to start today. I slept in the air from South Africa to London. This night I left in the air to Nigeria and you are there. Sometimes double land the plane we go like this good. When I came here, I said, no, this is not fat, this is not discernment, is messy. Bro. You will not see how fragile life is on the u in the air. If anything goes wrong, your highest vulnerability. See efron giants when they're in the air, they're know that this one you are floating in the palm of God. It just that oh Agane has failed. Oh my Lord, he's domitsing. There is no week that we don't spend hours there. I came this evening, I thought, God, thank you for preserving me, Thank you for protecting me. Thank you for keeping me. I have a reason to tangd I have a reason. While I was flying here, another thought that was in my mind was see the way men men believe what we are saying, sir, believe what we say, sir. Oh you got to places people liveally want to die see you. They are so grateful. I was with an Indian family yesterday and the man said, this is the greatest honor of his life that God allowed him to see me face to face. See me. Only God knows what happened to him. But people believe you so much that there are those who believe now that their lives purpose is found in their connection with you, not sing. It's more humbling than that. And this is not something we hear once in a why if he said it? When I gave him an assignment, can you imagine you'll get somebody past? And the purpose said, I found the meaning of my life. And I said, Lord, what have you done to be people? Why do they believe? Why do they follow? As I'm talking to you. There are people in different nations who are running with the same vision. When I think of these things, I'm humbled. I'm humbled. So I'm not just singing songs that is a hat chalk from preservation to black things. Sometimes I'm running five projects at the same time, five not one. Only God knows the magnitude of each. And there's not any time when oh, somebody's stand there No as with. These are the people who are from me. Here we are running five projects in millions, and the contessa kindly money is needed. I say, don't worry, it will never stop. And it never stops. It is he the hand of man. See the kind of sched do we keep as those who live around me. I never lie down as they headache. Hey, hey, hey, bring say I'm as strong as a rock or God, I'm not a soldier. I didn't do any training Anywhere's the handle. God I have a reason to thank God. I don't know about you, but my own heart is full of gratitude. I can't see what it has done. And in case you have not checked, this is the opportunity. Check now what has been done for you? So when you are dancing you are not lost in the excitement. Do you know how many people have been stabbed this month? Do you know how many people died in accidents? Do you know how many people just left and didn wake up? You are not, yes, And because you are strong, I know you do exercise, you eat balance, diets be joking. Some people died in the gym, but it kept you. The least you can do is for your hat to sow gratitude. And when your hat so gratitude, the second thing to do is to add trans for free. The second way to thanking is with words. For Dia Pati fifteen, the Bible says, to carry with you words. Never be quiet, says he wants to hate. He wants to hear what you have to say, even in heaven. The book the thirty and four over said all things were creative for thy pleasure. What is the lamb that was praying? They said? It says don't let cost this bitterness, lamentation, complaints flood your lips, see your lives with pree some one of five, that's one and two, say all give them some to the Lord. Call on his name, make known his deeds among the people. Make noon, make noon, sing it, talk it, shout it. Don't be ashamed. There are people who when they're sayings that in environment, they think it's awkward to thank God. Who are about to take off from a city. And I looked up, I said, thank you Father for preservation. And the white lady looked at me obvious religious people. Yes, God, here, it's not a pilot. You could just send the this name from her when I when I read her energy, I thought, I said, Father, I thank you for your handle power. You are the one who kept me sing. Now the even't this flight. You are the one to take off heavily, all apologetically. I don't care if she doesn't have a God. I have a God, and I am not ashamed to give him the glory. Those who don't have a God, they want to bully you to behave like them. Even God knows that they are men who don't care about him. Jesus said that he say jobs. They neither fear God nor man. God knows. But you don't let those people silence you while you enter your office. Thank you Father, you'll cutch me here. You have preserved me from the hands of the wakhad. You approperate me. Let them be paid. That's their problem. They can call you religious. The most important thing is that know your job, do it well, but keep God praise for it. Say it. And if your mouth it's not enough, use your platform. Use your platform some of you. All your handles are fused with all your new clubes, eye lashes. Hey, God, fis back. That's all we have on your handle. If they trick your name on Facebook, he's different clothes. Deplay ocasion. Come on your hand and said, Jesus is my lord. I leave for him. Thank you Jesus for held. I don't know about you. God has kept me. Ve your platform. It's a magnon. He's pease amongst the people. BETI value provoking quies better tire you provoke the lid through thank giving? Number three? How do you thank him. By singing and by bouncing some one hundred verse one to three, some sixty nine verstating single don't allow your voice to be lost in the voice of the person leading the worship. All of us are worshiping God. God is not hearing through amplifier. It's man that needs amplifier. God is hearing from your heart and your mouth. Sing your own turns, your own if they make a joyful noise onto the Lord. All ye lad, hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey. Mack a what hi hi hi hi. You know what this means. Nobody has the complaint of my voice is not good, even if it is noise. Make it goggle, run, come hind time, A very mamanda, my. Very very. Sounds like a big man. That's like a big man. Come by. I have a very big goggle who is always by my time, A very big goggle. My my, bn my son. Are you ready to dance for ten minutes? Are you ready to make a joyful noise? Finally, how do you give talents by presenting gifts and opery? Second, Corinthia's self President, every man Accordias is proposing his heart. Let him give, not grudgingly of necessity or with the checkful heart. So you give times with gifts, not just with the heart of joy. Press tend the kid. Because a man displays his value of worship, of honor, of gratitude often time superkinding. So prepare for it the last two weeks of the month. Prepare for it. Don't be taken of God. Prepare Lord. I just want to say thank you from what you've given me. Have come with this to say thank you. God. By a cow. Bye alarm, carry over dear plus one million plus ten million. I'm already prophesying. See your problem. You are saying, where do I have it from? That's what I'm saying it. That's what I'm saying it. Make up your mind, next book, and we give God one million, and see how God we make it happen. I will give you ten million. I'm telling you. He's a mystery. Somebody's job. The Bible said, let the people pressy and let the ad ye that increase. Everything that you have that is depleted under this atmosphere. I decree and declare, let that be multiplication. Now in the name of Jesus, Christ. Is to come into his case with antiving into his cards with prise. Anywhere you have been denied access before.

The prison has had them, and the foundation of the prison opened. Anything that has held you back, I stand under dis unction. I decree and declare, let the change be broken. In the name of Jesus. The Bible said, out of them shall proceed the voice of tansgiving and the voice of them that make merry. I will multiply them. They shall not be fw. I we glorify them. They shall not be small. Anything in you that insists you will not cruel, that insists you will remind the way you are. I wage war against them. By this spirit. I command them broken.
