Allelujah, Praise the Lord, allelujah. Thank you, thank you so very much. Let me start by appreciating his lordship, Bishop. Foreman Medison, please help me honor his lordship and. This lovely wife. Thank you, sir for your love and your hospitality. I do not take you for granted, and I want to extend my honor also to the Anglican communion here in Jaralingo. Thank you for the love, Thank you for the hospitality. And then just hearing the kind and the caliber of men and women of God who have left their churches, their programs, their conferences to be here. Please help me one more time. Less honor the servants of God who have traveled from far and near. Allelujah. I counted a very great privilege and a profound responsibility every time God grants me the grace to come into cities like this and to see to it that these cities received these divine visitations. I don't take it for granted. I am what I am because of Jesus. A man can receive nothing except it is given onto him from above. All so as much as you are celebrating the man, that may remind you again that it is because of. Jesus that we are who we are, and we must be very clear about it. The world must know. So tonight God will use a man to bless you, but the one who will really bless you is the Lord Jesus Christ. Can we lift our hands in one minute and ask him in this pennial conference to give us life transforming encounters. Whether you're in the overflow wherever it is, or you're watching by way of television and the Internet, or you are here in this auditorium. Please lift your voice in one minute. And ask him for a definite visitation. If someone asking the Lord for visitation, where the spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. For in Jesus Mighty. Name, we pray, Heavenly Father, we cry again that you will speak to us. We pray that your world will come with power, with grace, with precision, grant us understanding. And I pray the name of Jesus Christ that tonight there is the hearing of faith, the working of miracles, and diverse manifestations of the Spirit in our meeting. We declare that Jesus alone is revealed and glorified in this place, and we pray that this conference indeed will be a life altering, life transforming one. In the name of Jesus Christ. I believe in Jesus, I believe in the ministry of the Holy Spirit. I believe in the Word of God. I believe in the power, the presence, and the glory of God. And the Bible says, now the Lord is that spirit. It says, where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. And so if it is. True that He is in this place tonight, then it means there is no limit to all that can happen in your life and in at Allelujah. Let me request that while you rejoice, while you celebrate, which is wonderful. The House of God is the place of joy and liberty. Let me please request that, as the Word of God comes, give your. Destiny a dedicated. Attention to here for the purpose of understanding, not just excitement. Allelujah, Away in agreement, praise the name of the Lord. Please be seated, God bless you.

Nina car God Surcan in Salaha Ninakawa, God. Kindness, Hurricane Salam, Father, we pray that you was peace to our hearts even by your word. Tonight, in Jesus' name, we pray for my session in this conference, who have his Allelujah, And tonight I'll begin with a teaching that I titled spiritual Spiritual Birth, Spiritual Birth, Allelujah. When Jesus walked upon the earth, the Bible lets us know that and reveals to us that he had several discussions along many lines. Jesus spoke, for instance, about the father. He spoke about the state of the heart of men in the parable of the Seed and the Sower. He spoke about family, as far as the parable of the prodigal son. You know how that his son left his father and returned back. Jesus examined the motif of men's heart. He came to look at the kinds and the quality of offerings they were giving. Jesus had discussions with the woman at the well. He had discussions with Nico Demos, who came to him by night. He had discussions with Zacchios. He had discussions with publicans and sinners. The Bible literally trails the entire earth work of Jesus. And within the frame of scripture, it reveals to us many instances where Jesus had discussions, and it lets us into the discussions of Jesus, Allelujah. And so we're able to learn some. Of the things the discussions that he had with people, and some of the discussions that he had in his crusades and in his conferences, Allelujah. And one of such discussions was about the subject of being born. Find that in John chapter three, the says Nicodemos came to Jesus by night. Nicodemos was one of the Pharisees. He was a learned colleague. But as he followed the ministry of Jesus, he began to be convicted, knowing that even though they did not agree with Jesus as a counsel personally, he was being drawn. He looked at the life of Jesus Christ, and he began to be drawn to this Jesus. And so he snecks and comes to him by night. And the Bible says verse one John chapter three and verse one that Nicodemos there was a. Man of the Pharisees named Nicodemos. He was a ruler of the Jews. Verse two, the same came to Jesus by night and said onto him, Rabbi, we know that thou hat a teacher, come from God, it says, for no man can do these miracles that thou doest accept be with him. And Jesus takes over the conversation in verse three, and he says, verily, verily, I say unto you, except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God. He was not even responding to the question of Nicodemos. Nicodemos was acknowledging the fact that he was a teacher, that in spite of their denial and refusal as a person, he is saying, listen, deep within our hearts, we have vetted your teachings, we have vetted your miracles, and we can only trace your origin to be a man who has come from God. For no man can do these things except God be with him. Together. So the foundation of the discussion was an expression of shock and wonder and acknowledgement. What sort of a man is this? They call you joseph Son, they call you mary Son, But the results that we see from your life is beyond a man who was born of natural descent. We were also born. We have mothers, we have fathers. How come there is disparity in the manifestation of the spirit within our lives. Nico Demos was not an ignorant man. Nico Demos was a learned colleague. Part of the conditions for you to become a pharisee is that you must know the entire Entertach, the Torah, the Five Books of Moses, of Art. So a man who is speaking. He was a doctor of the law. But in spite of his intellectual acome, and when Jesus, there was something about the teachings of Jesus. Their teachings were intellectual, but it did not bring conviction. And every time Jesus taught, it was beyond information, It was become beyond academic knowledge. It moved past the gates of their minds into the core of their spirits. And so Nichous kept observing. You need to understand that that statement in verse two was not just a days school say that led to that conclusion. He had fearfully followed program after program, and then alike them, he was not just an empty teacher. He could both preach and do. They noticed that they were limited because the frame of that dominion was just the intellect. When it came to the place of. Performance, they did not have the spiritual wherewithout to make good everything they had in their head. For instance, they knew that Jehovah Rasha was in their head, but in the presence of sick people, they could not translate that which they had in their mind. Are we together now? So Nico Dimos kept observing the man. He first suspected Jesus, then he admired him, and then he became afraid, and he had to summon the courage, and he came to Jesus. The whole discussion was not just acknowledging him. He was propping into something, and he said, if it is true that you are Mary's son, then why do you have this on the usual abilities? Are we together now? Because he observed that a man born of a woman, naturally he should have certain abilities, and he should not have certain abilities. Would you reduce the volume a pity so that the people can hear if thank you, are we together? That means it is natural for men born of women to do certain things. For instance, it is supernatural for me to speak as a man. It is natural, very human. It is not supernatural for me to walk. Are we together now? Inasmuch as the privilege. That is given to men is concerned, Do I still have your attention? It is not unnatural to lift my hands. If you see me move my fingers, you're not going to clap. It's not a sign and a wonder to you. It is human. So they noticed that as Jesus began to manifest his earthly ministry, they saw both natural and difine abilities happening within the same man, and from an standpoint had to come to the conclusion that this man is not ordinary. There must be more to him than being mary'son. So Nico Dimos comes. To Jesus by night and says, Rabbi, I'm going to. Use a diplomatic way to talk to you. What my reason of coming here is. What is the secret of this divine dimension within you? Because if it is true you are born of a woman, you should not be able. To speak to the sick and then their healed. If it is true that you are only if the origin. Of your existence is only ethly and biological, from whence come this power to speak to. The sea, to speak to the tree, to speak to men. And immediately Jesus went to the root of his desire. He said, it is about the issue of birth. The basis for the disparity is. That there is a kind of bath that has not happened to you yet. Are we together? Now? That's three. So Jesus looks at him, and he does not answer what. His lips is saying. He goes straight to the desire of his heart. You are acknowledging me as a teacher sent from God, who told you I came from God. He is not because nico Demos necessarily heard Jesus say I came from God. This is just John chapter three, Just John chapter three. So from the chronological arrangement of the Synoptics, he had not taught long enough for Nicodemos to hear his proposition about his divinity. His divinity, this is John three. Are we together now? The only reason why he is suspected that this man must come from God was still in John chapter two. No man can do these miracles that thou do west except God be with him. And Jesus said, you are right, verily, verily, I say unto you, accept. A man be born again. The issue is not being born. The issue is the word again. He confused this intellectual present, this was a doctor and intellectual again for a birth. I have never had the possibility of being born again. I understand resurrection, but I do not understand. Being born again. I even understand incarnation because John, the prophets who you call the Baptist, came in the spirit and. The power of Elijah. But I have never heard It's never been a doctrine. No man, not any of the prophets past, have ever proposed an idea that a man already born can be born. So Jesus says, except a man be born again, give us a scripture, he cannot see the Kingdom of God. His confusion was made claim verse four. Verse four, Nicodemo said, unto him, how can a man be born when he's old? In other words, what technology are you introducing to me? Does he shrink back to become a fetus and gets back into his mother's womb? By what means? At what point in a man's life do you say born? And then Jesus takes it a step further verse five, he says, verily, verily, I say, unto you, accept a man be born of water and of the spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God. Verse six now says that which is born of the flesh is flesh. You know what that means, you manifest. The possibilities of where you are coming from. If you are. Flesh, you cannot manifest spirit until you have a way of being connect He said, that which is born of flesh is flesh. That means you are limited by the possibilities that come from your parents. Are we together now that which is born of flesh is flesh, But that which is born of the spirit is spirit. So Jesus immediately shows us that there are two kinds of death. Number one is called the fleshly birth, or the biological or physical or natural birth, that which is a product of a husband and his wife and the woman getting pregnant according to the time of life and giving birth. Are we together now to a baby who will grow using the natural cause of life and the natural process. But Jesus is saying, there is are not that kind of bath, and that one is by the spirit that anyone who passes through that system, there are abilities that will be super imposed upon your natural human frame, that you will find yourself manifesting possibilities that are not affordable within the world of men. That which is flesh is flesh, that which is spirit is spirit, and Nicodemus. Began to understand. Ah, So Jesus, you are telling me that there are two kinds of birth that you have had to go through to be the way you are, and that as you are now, every believer who will eventually reflect you must go through these two kinds of birth away together. The first point I want you to note is that the Bible proposes two kinds of birth, that everyone who must be a victor, everyone who must manifest define possibilities and realities, must go through must pass through. Number one, I. Said, is natural, physical or fleshly birth, And I'll tell you the difference shortly. Number two is called spiritual birth. And this this is my concern for a discussion tonight. And the second thing Jesus revealed is that being. Born has an implication. When you are born, with it comes certain possibilities and certain potentials. Is someone learning now? I wrote a few things down here that I want you to listen. Number One, that there is a difference between physical birth and spiritual birth. Number one, the first difference between physical and spiritual birth is that physical birth. Is not a function of your will or your choice. In physical birth, the one born does not have the ability to choose to participate or to contribute in his or arrival. When it has to do with physical. Birth, it is exclusively the business of your parents. And you find yourself in the scene. Are we together now? Yes? No one here shows as an act of his will that I want to be born. You found yourself. It was a decision, a product of your father and your mother. Number two, The second difference between physical and spiritual birth. Is that. One person alone, except for the case of Mary, one person alone, on the normal circumstances, it would take more than the will of one person for physical birth to happen on. That normal sircumstance. Are we together now, yes? I'm going to contrast it with the spiritual birth on that normal circumstances is a woman may want to give bath, but a woman alone, except for a unique case like that of Mary, cannot make that dream come to pass. A man may want a child, but a man on assisted by a woman, cannot make that happen. So when it has to do with physical birth, you need at least two wills. The choices of two. People, the man and his wife, male and female coming together to make that a reality. Number three, it takes at least nine months for that decision to come to fruition under normal health circumstances. That means that when a woman wants a child, from the time of her pregnancy until she gives bath is an average of nine months we know biologically speaking, So there is a process and it takes time. No matter how desperate she is for a child, she will have to wait. The Bible callee the time of life, hallelujah. Now, contrasted with spiritual birth, look or please, I said that when it has to do with physical birth. You did not make any choice. But in spiritual birth, it happens at the instance of your will. You are not just an active participant, You are the sole participant to make. That birth happen away together. Now, contrasting with the physical birth, you were not there, You were not part of the decision for your arrival. But when it has to do with this spiritual birth, if everybody agrees that you will be born again and you refuse, your singular refusal can counsel everybody's decision. Someone learning that means every other person's decision our only supporting the soul. Decision for spiritual birth to happen depends on you. Number two, Spiritual birth happens at the instance, alike physical birth that will take time, will take a long process. The moment, according to scripture, you acknowledge the lordship of Jesus, believing that he died for you. Believing that report the Bible lets us know and according to the authority of Scripture, that eternal life is imputed into your spirit that moment. Scientification can happen gradually, transformation can happen gradually, but the fact that you become a bona fide recipient of the life of it happens at that instance. Are we together? Now, this is very very powerful. Now, in physical birth, there is something called aging, and we understand aging in our world to mean the depletion of the quality of your life from a biological standpoint, the depletion of the quality of your strength. So when you say a man was. Born in nineteen twenty five, we will most likely shout because we don't expect a young man bubbling and jumping by reason of that longevity as measured from the time of his birth, and we together now we expect that, no matter how healthy, there must have been an appreciable deterioration in strength, in quality, in figure. When you see a young man of eighteen losing memory, it is a problem. But when you see a man of one hundred and eighteen losing memory, you will forgive him because based on the longevity as measured from the time of birth, it seems to be allowable. Yet in spiritual birth, the Bible says, the kind of life that we have received does not sustain the ability to deplete with time. It is God's own life. It is not life that is subject to the vicissitudes of life. Though our outtime man perish, he says, because of the quality of that which we have within us. The same way, the Son is. Older than every one of us here, yet the Son has not lost its intensity, its quality, and its power. A will following. Now, I'm taking this slowly because I want everybody to understand. So Jesus is discussing. I hope you know that that discussion was not a conference. That discussion was an evening time. A man came to meet Jesus, and the Bible just gives us an idea how John got to find that outweigh do not know truly, it must have been by the spirit, because the Bible does not record that John was part. Of that discussion. And yet with precision he can bring to us the discussion that happened supposedly between two people. Perhaps he was somewhere. Because the Bible caused them eyewitnesses. They saw the things that happened, and he was able to peep into. This noble discussion. Did you know that what became the foundation of our understanding the life of God was not even prison a WHU said, cround. It was a discussion between an intellectual person who was frustrated but in sincere need of answers, and the almighty God incarnated through this person called Jesus. So we're discussing the subject of birth. The foundation was the invincibility of Jesus, the divinity of Jesus. How that his divinity so overshadowed his humanity. When he walked upon the earth, you could see that he was flesh and blood. Yet all of the results from his lives when demon's saw him disagreed. They never called him the son of Joseph, They never called him the son of Mary. They identified him by his divinity, it had so swallowed up his humanity. Are we together now, Jesus? For you now go with me to John chapter one, and we'll begin our reading from verse seven. If someone is learning, say amen, John one, let's start from verse nine. For sake of time. Theologically speaking, what we call the Gospels four synoptic eyewitness accounts. Are we together? Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, and all of them gave eyewitness accounts of the earthwork of Jesus, capturing different moments in his earthwork miracles, his teachings based on their perception. So Matthew a presentation of Jesus. Are we together now? And then Mark has a presentation of Jesus. You find out that Matthew is a lot more genealogical. He takes time to tell us some of. The things that were happening within the sociology of that time. Matt goes straight into the manifestations of Jesus from verse one chapter one. In mac Jesus is already preaching heally and doing so many things. Look takes the time to examine his humanity. He captures the census that was happening meticulously, giving us room to understand all the things that happened before his arrival. But it was John who approached it from a very interesting standpoint. John did not approach it from the earthwork of Jesus. He went straight to the difnity said, in the beginning the only order is we find. That expression is Genesis after. One, where Abraham was given an understanding when he saw the glory of God. And he now documented the pentatoge Are we together? In the beginning was the Word, and the word was with God, and the world was God. He says, the same was with God in the beginning. Verse three says all things were made by him, and without him was not anything made that was made. Verse four non says in him was life, and he says that light was the light of men. Are we together? Yes? Verse five now. Says very quickly the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not. Then Verse six now has a little tist. There was a man. Still talking about God, sent from God. He said his name was John. Seven says the same came for a weakness to witness to the light, that we, through his weakness might believe. Are we together? And then it goes on and on and on. Verse eight says he was not that light. He only came to testify of that light. And like verse nine, he says that was the true light that lighted every man that comet into the world. Notice now he's talking about birth. Yet again, every man that comet into the world, there is a light component that is given. Us a gift from God. Now we go to verse ten, and then he says he was in the world and thought the world was made by him. The world did not know him. Verse eleven, he came to his own, and his own received him not but he lives sous yet that not everybody will reject him. There are some people who will receive him, it says, but as many as received him, he gave them power to become, power against power against principalities. The first power you receive when you come to him is the power to become, the power to become, to become something you were not born with the power to become. Don't ask me how I became annointed. Power to become. A weak person can come to Jesus, and among the many things you receive is power to become and not narry a child, becoming a prophet and not narry man becoming an apostle, becoming. A great man. When you see people manifesting supernatural possibilities, it's because they access power to become, power to become. Watch this, let's finish that scripture. He gave them power to become sons of God, even. To them that believe on His name. Now, this is where I want us to go to. Which were born. So whether you are part of those who become or not, in any case you were born. You have to be born to remain natural, and you have to be born to be supernatural. He's talking here that whichever category you belong to, there is one thing common between two of them, birth, which were born in one case born of blood and the will of the flesh, but in another case born of God. So he's talking here about birth. That all of them were born. But this category of men who have now. Become there is a special kind of birth. It says their birth is not just out of blood, Their birth is not just out of the will of the flesh. Their birth is not just out of the will of a man, but that these ones were born of God. To be born again means to be born of God. To be born again means to change perternity. To be born again, every child reflects the DNA that comes from his father. To be born again means to be born of God. Allelujah as simple sounds. Ladies and gentlemen, most believe us the scope of our understanding about the new birth experience is simply its ability to secure eternity after now. And we have downplayed the potency of the. Life of God that comes to the believer and reduced it only as an. Insurance to make sure you are not in hell. So the average person who stands confessing Jesus does not even understand the extent of translation that is happening in the realm of the spirit, not the implication that has happened to him by reason of switchingternities. He's teaching Nico Demos. You've seen me work as a sion and a wonder. You've seen my invincibility. You've seen situations and circumstances pow to me. The secret is encapsulated in and not that kind of birth. He calls it born again. Now, John gives you perspective that to be born again means to be born of God. To be born again is beyond reciting a salvation prayer to be born again is beyond being convicted of sin and just working off feeling guilty. That physically nothing may happen to you, but in the realm of the spirit, there is a real transaction that, with understanding it can manifest physically that you can literally know who has been born and who has been born again. Allelujah. When you look at people physically, without them opening their mouths, you may never easily know the difference between a professor and an illiterate. You cannot judge by their physical appearance. In fact, the ill treat men respectfully speaking, maybe even look sharper and smarter. The distinguishing factors when both of them are allowed to conver us because then it will. Not be a function of their body, it would be the quality of their minds. Am I right on that. So when we down physically, you don't know who is born and who is born again until situations and circumstances come. The one who is born shows you the limitation that which is earth of the earth is hearthy. But one who is born again. Can outsource an advantage from a rem that is not human and now begin to command possibilities that shown men found principalities and powers. This was a discussions with Nicodemus. Tonight we're discussing birth. Everyone in his lifetime is allowed to taste of at least one of these two births. That you can hear me now is a chance or is an. Implication that the first bath has happened to you, but that there is an advantage that can come to you when you choose to be born of the Spirit, to be born of God. To be they many believers have answered the old they do. Not understand the implication of being born again. Away together the implication of being born again. I watch this back to my example on the professor and the ordinary person. If I looked at someone who had spent thirty years learning two PhDs, had headed all kinds of institutes, and I look at him and I call him some kind of demeaning name simply because he was wearing some druggers in the morning, most likely that person will rebuke me and say, you better don't allow my size intimidate you. Sit down, let me tell you a little about what I've done. I had PhD right from nineteen eighty, and not a PhD by nineteen ninety one. His body does not show it, but I will have to test him using various references that prop into his understanding. He will bring all kinds of certifications and photos. Perhaps, and then when I bring all kinds of difficult projects the way he effortlessly solves them, at the end of it, I will say. Truly may look small, but indeed you are professor. Are we together? Many many believers, she leslie, say I am born again, and they do not expect anything unusual. There is no difference to the first fleshly born you and the second one who is now born again. Do you know why, because for many of us, all that happened to us, respectfully speaking, was just. The recitation of an altar called prayer. And with it you are not going to hell again. And that is true. But then many leave not understanding the value, the excellency and the quality of what is within them. And because that consciousness and that awareness is not there, Satan will still add as if it does not recognize that you are born again, the vicissitudes of life still treat you as to one who has just had the first kind of bath. And yet we continue to. Say we are born again. But that which should follow a person who is born or the spirit born of God. They are testing signs. Do not show. Nico Demos was frustrated, like many well meaning believers are frustrated today. There are many well meaning believers. They have verses in their head, they have scriptures in their head, like Nico Demos, and they have secretly attempted to pray for the sick. They have secretly attempted to do what they said the Bible said should be done, and nothing has seemed to happen in their lives. And then, like Jesus, they observe others and say, come, I used to. Know this man. We grew up from the same place. What is the difference. I'm a Christian, I go to church. Nico Demos was frustrated. He did not hide his frustration. He wanted an excellent life, a life. Of victory grace, and it was far from him. Every time he read the Torah the Pentatog, he was far from the experience of it. Finally he found it man who was an embodiment of everything in his head. I respect Nicodemos because, unlike many of us, Nicodemos was humble enough to come to Jesus. Most people who prefer to be failures. In pride than to humble themselves and become victims in experience. This is the reason why I took our time to acknowledge the several graces the men and the women of God. Here. It takes a lot of humility, recognition, and their passion to grow to shelve all of their programs, their business schedules, and to come and sit down and to share the world of the Lord. That was the attitude of Nicodemos. Notice Nicodemos said we know. He didn't say I know. The arrogant ons too knew, but they were too proud to come and ask questions. They just they said no, no, no, there must be something, but we are too proud, we can't come and meet Jesus. Most likely Nicodemos was older than Jesus, but he came to him and he said, when it has to do with the issue of these possibilities, I sincerely humble myself. I am a doctor of the law. I acknowledge it, but I place it down. Rabbi never called he called him teacher. We know that what a man said, no man can do these miracles. Accept God be with him. Thank you, hallelujah. Accept God be with him. And then Jesus began to speak to him. Immediately, he said, the issue with you, Nicodemos is not that you cannot be great. The issue is there is a kind of birth that needs to happen to you. You have gone through the first one, passing through the womb of your mother, but you have not gone through this second kind of birth that is called born of the Spirit, that is called being born of God. Because if it is true that you go through that birth, coming out from that birth experience, you will also come out with something called the power to become, the power to become. Now, watch these believers. Most of us have been shown a life and a destiny of grace and color representing the purposes of God. But what you do not know is that that picture and that mandate was not allocated for the one born from Chalingo. It was not allocated for the one born from Nigeria. That possibility was only kept here for the one who dares to be born again. The one born from Plateau or Jalingo, or Adamawa or. Legos cannot fulfill that. The vision of the church you saw is not just for the one who was born as the second bone or the third bond. No that disciples as fishermen could not feel that great commission. They were ordinary men, not until the spirit came upon them. Look at the first salmon of an unlearned fisherman. It has become a doctrinal model to help us understand salvation. So Peter stands on the Day of Pentacles and says, listen, we're not drawnk with wine. This is only but the early hours of the morning. But this is that look at his theological construct. He began from Joel. Then he went to the Psammis, and he ended his salmon by saying, let it be known to you that this same Jesus whom you have crucified, have today been exalted. As Lord and Christ. My Bible says they were caught to the heart, and they said, men are brethren. Some of you are brethren, some of you are men. Whoever you are men and brethren. What do we do because we don't know where to categorize you. Now you are men, but you are men. Plus there is something that has certainly so the only name we can call you is brethren, men and brethren. What do we do. We have seen a manifestation in your life that is beyond that which is affordable to ordinary men. Watch this, he says, repent for the remission of your sin, and you shall. Receive this promise, that same promise the power to become. For the promises onto you. He says, to your children, your children's children, as many as are far of, even as many as the Lord will call. And three thousand people who were already born became born again. Another instance, as chapter eight and verse five, the Bible talks about an ordinary man called Philip. That Philip went down to Samaria verse five of as chapter eight, and the Bible says he preached Christ onto them. Watch this verse six, that the people have heed with one accord, hearing and seeing the miracles, which he did the same ordinary Philip. Remember it was Philip who was answering the question that led to Jesus saying, I am the. Way He said. Have I been with you so long? Philip? And you do not know me? Now that gentleman was no longer just a confused person like Nico Dimos. He had found the secret. The secret was to be born again, and Philip was now commanding the same possibilities that he saw in Jesus, so much so that the Bible says, they saw, they heard, and they saw the miracles. What were the miracles? Give it to us? Verse six, hour seven. The Bible says, for on clean spirits questions, I hope. You know those spirits were still there when he. Was confused and frustrated. But now he's being born again, had signed his name in the realm of the spirit. The young clean spirits crime with a loud voice came out of many that were possessed with them, and many that were taken with palsies and that were lamed, were healed, the Bible. Says verse eight. And there was great joy in that city because a man who was born again carried the content of his spirit man, not just his blood, no, the content of his spirit man. And he literally took it to Samaria and turned that place upside down. Ladies and gentlemen, what you call the gospel is beyond a message of evangelism. What you call the gospel is beyond a proposition to escape hell, as important as that is. What you call the gospel is beyond the revelation of the compassion of a loving God. That is these are all components of it. But you need to understand that at the back of God's mind when. He proposed Jesus to come and die for us, it was not just to translate us from hell to heaven. That is very important. It was not just to make us the beloved alone, but it was to grant us access to something the Bible calls so way is a kind and quality of life. That no man was born with. There's no man who is born with that kind of life. In fact, yes, how the same John says it in his epistle. He said, this is the record that God hath given us eternal life, but that this life was so structured that until you. Encounter the sun, you cannot have that life. So when people come to church. Man of God, if it is true that you are born again, like you will tell me it is true. I am educated. Life will call for you defending the truth. Show me the results of your being born again as against your results of being born. I have seen the results that come with your being born. I want to see the one that follows your being born again. I've seen you cry that is normal with those who are born. Show me the victory that comes with those who are born again. I've seen you work as slow as you can, which is very human with those. Who are born. But show me the excellency of speed, show me the. Excellency of supernatural progress that is only privy to those who are born again. Allelujah. So the Bible puts it this way. It says he that comet from above, he that comet from above, not he that comet that means above. It's not the only place you can come from. You can come from many other places. But now this result is only connected to Heed that commet from above. The Bible says, it's a he that comment from. Above is above all, ladies and gentlemen. My life changed when I understood the implication of being a child of God, a son of God born again. Once upon a time, the man standing before you was a little baby who was being celebrated. People rejoiced on that glorious Tuesday morning I had arrived. I was not born again. I didn't come born again. I came born privileged. To have my mother and my father alive. I can imagine the joy on their face when that tiny baby arrived on that Tuesday morning. But that was not the victorious one. No that was not the one demons who run away from. No, that was not the one who will change nations. No, that you was celebrated and wrapped in that. Not even the Jesus who was born was the one who saved us. It was the one who was filled with the spirit and power transformed the Christ. Listen carefully. No, it was not the Moses that was born that brought deliverance. It was Moses that was born again. It was not the Abraham that was called from all of the Chaldeans as an idol worshiper. It was Abraham whose name was changed, and not that name was given to him. It was not Peter the fisherman as Seaphas who was that one who preached such a powerful message. It was one who had met Jesus and now had met the spirit of God. Jesus worked for thirty years. Upon the earth as an ordinary man, absolutely nothing supernatural, but the Bible says A Jordan. When he came to be baptized, John, who was a prophet, looked at him and said, behold the lamb that takes away. The sins of the world. And heaven was still quiet until Jesus was baptized in water, the Bible says, and as he came out of the water, that heavens were opened. That was a typology of being born again. And the spirit descended upon him, and a voice spoke. When you read one of the accounts, he says, this is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased, and a commanded creation to hear him. Can I tell you the one who creation has been commanded to hear? It's not the you that has the date of birth that you have. No demons have no respect for that one. No demons have no respect for the one who is. Just wearing suits and wearing this. There is a kind that was put that threatens hell the one who is born again. The sons of skin thought it was just about being an adult or inheriting priesthood. And the Bible says one time they came and gathered some demoniac and they said, we are chare you by Jesus whom Paul preaches, And they lant a better lesson that is a lesson for believers today. They said, Jesus, we know Paul, we know. May I add Joshua Salman, we know. You. Better add your name. In this wicked world. You better add your name in that list. He says, God, who are you? He was asking people who are alive, But he said, as far as we are concerns spiritually, you are not yet born. What gives you the cretors? Listen? Listen. The reason why spirits. Operate illegally on earth if they're not in partnership with human bodies, was because the earth was not created for them. So, when you want to have dominion over the realm of the spirit, have you registered your arrival in the realm. Of the spirit that I am of God? I am born of God. You can believe in physically, ladies and gentlemen, Yet in the realm of the spirit, you are not known. You are not recognized at all. And there are many who were. There to do a lot of things who stand and say, in the name of Jesus, I command these demons to go. In the name of Jesus, I command the sick behaled. Just because you saw pastors doing that, or just because you read it. In the Bible. It takes more than the reading of it. Nicodemos had the knowledge. What kind of Bibles told you? Would you give Nicodemos, a man who was a. Doctor of the law. He was intelligent, excellent, yet the realm of the spirit had no obedience to him. His frustration was what brought him to Jesus. Respectfully speaking, Could there be a frustrated preacher in this place today? You're saying, I love God with all my heart. I lead many to Jesus. But the performance that divine life, the invincibility that comes with that divine life, is not yet speaking in my life. This is why God put this conference together. We're talking of bath and don't tell me possible. I've given my life to Jesus Christ. Oh, don't just follow me cheerfully. Do you know what Eitan of life is? John seventeen three? Let's read together. A mander the shadow of your wings, your influences all love for me. I am wandered, the shadow of your wings, your influences all low for me, John three seventeen. Please give it to us. Let's read together. If you can see it ready read. Eternal life is beyond reciting a child. This is eternal life that works, that produces that. The eternal life is that they might not thee the One True God and Jesus, whom thou hast said that was why he used two expressions, seeing the Kingdom and entering the Kingdom. Except ye be born again, you cannot see the Kingdom. Or except ye be born. Of water and of the Spirit of water, and of the spirit of water and of the Spirit, you. Cannot enter the Kingdom of God. There's no time to show you this as adombinated. Theologically, speaking from the Old Testament, you see the extraders of Egypt. Of Israel from Egypt is. A prophetic adombration, and adombination means a foreshadow a for acting. Are we together now using a story using a scenery of the Old Now let me just say this, Well, this is the Anglican Communion putting these There are people who are intellectuals. The Bible has many three basic layers. When you are studying scripture. Number one, there is the historic or a cheological layer of scripture. That means you can study the Bible as a historic material. You can study the Bible as an material the Bible. There are people who are not Christians, but they might be doing certain PhD thesis and would need to make reference to the Bible because of its ability to capture dates and times. Are we together now? So there is an acheological and historic layer to the study of scripture. The second layer to the study of scripture is there is a doctrinal layer away together, where from the stories, the parables, the events that happen, you can piece together doctrine. It comes from the Latin word doctriner. It means a body of truth that disciple say, students, to become. Like his master. Are we together? But the third layer, which many people do not explore, is there is a prophetic layer to scripture, where the Holy Spirit can give you a unique encounter and bring a meaning out of a scripture that does not. Apply to any other person except you. Are we learning now? So three people can read the same scripture and see three different things. Doctrine should be the same, but there can be a layer added to it. For instance, the Sign of Jonah was not a doctrine. It was Jesus that came and brought a prophetic meaning out of it. There was no way the Sign of. Jonah would have been understood to adom break the death the burial under resurrection of Jesus. We know it as the punishment of it disobedient prophet. But Jesus said, there is a greater meaning to it that although that was physically. Speaking a punishment, but he was for acting something the same way. The fish could not hold him. That is how the grave would not also be able to hold the son of Man Allelujah. I said that for a reason, because you see the exodus, what you call exodus. Moses came and said, deliverer, a prophet that would lead the people from Egypt, the place of captivity. Are we together now to a land flowing with milk and honey. That was his prophetic assignment. But notice the progression. The first thing that happened was they had to be delivered from their task masters. I mean, am I, am I am I? Are we together now? And Moses had to be born within the system, like Jesus came and was born in the earth. Are we together now? And then he challenged Pharaoh and with a mighty great hand he brought deliverance. But watch this, there were three levels of deliverance if you study scripture. The first level of. Deliverance was deliverance from Egypt and Pharaoh that began in. The process of the exodus. Body did not stop there until they got to the Red Sea, because Egypt still had the power to pursue them. Are we together now? Until they got to the place where they could pass through the water. That was a prophetic type of the new birth experience. For as long as they passed through that water, the Egyptians attempting to cross it was a no go area. The sea covered them and buried them once and Miriam captured it in a song. She said, I will sing on too the Lord for us triumph gloriously. The horses and his rider has been thrown into the sea. From that day never did they see their enemies in that similitude again. But that was not the end of it. They were already born of water. But there was still another experience, because you see that they had left Egypt, but. The mindset that thinking, the ideas of Egypt was still in them. When Moses went up the mountain to have some time with God, he returned back and met idol worshipers. Nobody externally influenced them by themselves from the recide of the old man that was with them. They proposed making an idol. With the gold that they brought from Egypt. So Jesus says, to now experience the kingdom, you must be born of water. That separation that old man. But then you must be born of the spirit. For you to understand that, you will need to examine. The ministry of the Holy Spirit. There are many things that Jesus said about the Holy Spirit, beginning from John fourteen, John. Fifteen, John fifteen sixteen. He called him the comforter. Yes, what Jesus said, He said, I have many things to tell you, but ye cannot bear them. Now, how be it? When he, the Spirit of Truth is come, he will guide you into all truth. There were many other things Jesus wanted to tell them, but in that stated to be unfruitful. He says, when the Holy Spirit comes, among the many things he does is he. Will reveal to you. He will take that which is of me and reveal to you. Listen. These people had been with Jesus, but they. Were not empowered enough to represent him. But when they were officially handed over to the Holy Spirit, as captured in the Day of Pentecos, that officially began the dispensation of the Holy Spirit on earth. The Bible records very clearly that these were men and women who do ordinary door or learned. They began to manifest extra ordinary, supernatural possibilities is it the healing of the man at the beautiful is it the healing of the man who was crippled from birth? Away together all. Kinds of supernatural, extra ordinary manifestations of the spirit. And to tell you how powerful this born again issue is, there was another pharise see now, not Nico Demos. That Phariseee was more vicious than Nico Demos. Nico Demos did not prosecute the church. He only kept these frustrations. But there was another fari see in the Book of Acts called Saul. You say that the Pharisee is. They're surprised because they had. Knowledge, but the performance was not there. Now, this strange Phariseee called Saul, the Bible says he obtained letters of the high priests and he was going. To pursue to the church. We Bible students. Then, the Bible says that Pharisee was already born. But what's what being born again would make that Pharisee become on his way to persecute the church. The Bible says, a light hit him and knocked him down. Is that true? And he heard a voice that said, Saul, Saul, why persecutors thou me he says, And then he says, you cannot kick it against the bricks. And Paul said, who are thou Lord? He said, I am Jesus, whom thou persecutest. Paul became blind, as Saul, is that true? He was sent to go to the house of Jude and a nurse now, and that he was going to be told what to do there. And that man who was already born as a pharisee, in his confusion, only having visions, and a nurse comes to his house and says, brother, Paul, Jesus, whom you met, had sent me that I would pray for you to regain your sight, but not to leave you like that, to introduce you to the ministry of the Spirit. Although you are Jesus. Now you need to meet the Spirit and fast forward. At man everything changed in his life. After eighteen years spending time within the wilderness of Arabia, he returned, but not as a pharisee. He returned as a sign and a wonder. When Peter and other Apostolic counsel saw him. They said, who is this man? Where are you coming from? What happened to you? Our experience is a similar Yet you were not there when Jesus, were you not the ball that we heard about who was persecuting the church? And he said, no, that was a former one. Now I am born again, born again, born again, born again, born again, the. Same one who persecuted. Listen, this guy was so. Born again that if you ever gave him even five minutes to talk, you'll be in trouble. Even if you were the pilot, you were the ruler, he would almost confort you with his conviction. Allelujah, born again, born again. He was so born again, he was not afraid to die. It was him who said, for me to leave His Christ and to die, because I can only die from the first bond, the first birth. The second death does not bring the second. Being born again does not bring death again. No, that one I will leave eternally. So for me to leave His Christ, and if. I die physically, I'm still alive. I have gotten the life that is indestructible. That was his orientation. Hear me, Ladies and gentlemen, many of you have heard of propositions across the body of Christ and around the world of the move of God, the revival that is coming upon the earth, and the fact that God has called us a life of glory and grace. According to John ten ten, the thief comment not but for to steal, to kill, and to destroy. It says, but I am come that. Ye may have life, and that you have it more abundantly. Hallelujah, And that the Bible tells us that this is the victory that overcometh the world. Even our faith, we have been born of this indestructible life. Paul was mentoring the church and Ephisos, and it says, we are being raised. Up together with Christ, and we're being made. To sit within far above principalities, powers, thrones, do minions, every name that is named, not only in. This world, but even in the world to call. Look at how you took our time to give us a sound exegesis of our exalted How lifted we are. The Bible says in efficiens one and the street, that God has blessed us with all spiritual blessings, and it is routed to the believer through the office of the Christ. But you see all of these things that we have grace and pieces, says, be multiplied onto you. According us its divine power hath given us all things that pertain onto life and Godliness through the knowledge of Him that has called us into glory and virtue. The Bible says, whereby had He given us this exceeding, great. And precious promises, that by them we might be partake us of His divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world true loss. All of these great blessings that have come upon the believer will never happen until and on less number one. You are pon attaining number two exposed to. The ministry of the spirit. It is the spirit of life who is able to guide men into the experience of the Kingdom, the experience of power, the experience of wisdom, the experience of grace. Do not miss our. Subsequent sessions tomorrow morning and then night I will be sharing with you all the dynamics. Tonight we are just examining the issue of birth. Every champion you see in the Kingdom is born twice. So you have to place the first certificate as given to you by the teaching hospital that brought you. But Destiny will ask you for the other certificate. That one is not in a paper, that one is resident within your spirit. Man, that is the one demons one to see you have been showing them the one that was from a teaching hospital and the thaight into pieces. That's not the one that moves the realm of the spirit. Someone is about to show them the other one. And so let no man trouble me. I am born again. I am born again. To be born again means to be born above. To be born again means to be born above, above the vicissitudes of life, above situations and circumstances. That he that comet from above is above all. More love, more power, movy in mine, more love, my power, morevy. In my life. There was a young ruler. Let me wrap up now. There was a young ruler that the Bible simply calls a rich young ruler. This one was not a phariseee, but it was a successful gentleman. I've done a teaching on it. Do you know what it means to be rich, then to be young, then to be a ruler. You have conquered life significantly, because it takes time to be rich. If you are rich and young, that is dominion over time. Rich young ruler, that was not the name. That was the credential of a young man. He was rich, he was young, and he had dominium he came to Jesus watch this, and he says, good Master, what must I do to inherit eternal life? Since it is true, I am rich. I am young, I am a ruler, But I know there is something missing my world. My physical influence and the advantage of my age has not been able to do anything supernatural. It cannot heal the sick, It cannot mentor be with all my money. I cannot command loyalty to go to a desert and have a crowd come. There is something more. And I have studied you and studied your teachings, and you have attributed these possibilities to eternal life. So in addition to my being rich, in addition to my being young, in addition to my being a ruler, there is something more I want, Good Master, what must I do to inherit eternal life? Who wrap up tonight's teaching by answering that question? Jesus looked at him and said, why do you call me good? No man calls me good? Accept God. There is no man who is good. Accept God. So you understand that these results is beyond. The realm of men. Every time people acknowledge the origin of supernatural results, Jesus accorded them. He gave them an applause. He said, you're a wise boy. Truly, nobody is good except God. Since you know you call me Good Master. That immediately tells you where I come from, and it tells you the origin of this invincible life that I possess. Good Master. Then he now gave him something, a very serious test. Go and do this gift to the point, he said this I have done right from my youth. Yet he was still young, meaning that gentleman started making progress really early. And Jesus said, one last thing, go and sell all that you have. Listen, no jarling God, Terrabba, listen, we're discussing eternal life. Now we're discussing being born again. Do you know what that means? To be born again does not add to what already is in you. You will have to be willing to relinquish everything there. He says, No, you do not add the life of God to all of this that you have goted. It does not work like that. Go and sell all that you have, give it to the poor. Then come empty, when there is nothing again in yourself, come and follow me. I will show you how to receive eternal life. The Bible said, the man left sad because he had many things. Ah. Eternal life demands that anything that is not the life of God is dethroned until Jesus and his purposes is enthroned. Are both fail? Are both pettigree that when you stand the singular credential will not be my knowledge, will not even be my first thing and my prayer. The singular credential that you stand with as the basis of everything is Jesus. The moment you are adding any other thing doesn't mean you don't practice them, but tried it. In the fact that I am what I am because I went to school. I am what I am because I speak well, you are still in the realm of the rich young ruler. You are not ready to follow when you empty yourself of everything and. You come listen. I am a good preacher, I speak well, I first well, I live well. Jesus commanded him and said, but you are still ful. Life does not come to men like that. Business with God demands total emptiness. Where you are avoid of yourself. They shall not get it right that I may decrease, decreased my perception that when you look at me, what you do not. What you see is not a celebrity with a plethora of achievements. Those who are born again are people. Who died before. Because you see, the way to the throne is the cross. If you tell me you're on the throne, I would say, show me the cross who passed through. Ah. You cannot be seated on the throne without showing the cross that kills you. Is it not? In the Bible, I have been crucified with Christ. The one who says we are seated with Christ also said I have been crucified with Christ. Galatians chapter three. It says, nevertheless I live, Yet not I but Christ that lives in me, and this life that I live in the flesh, that is the body. I live by the faith of the Son of God. There are many people who recite salvation prayers, but there are few people who are willing to give up everything and to be crucified with Christ. Indeed, this is the reason why the potential of this life you have received does not manifest. Like the rich young ruler. We come before God and men with all our achievements. I am intelligent. That's why I am a fasting giant. That's why it is because of the abundance of my Bible study. That's why. And Jesus says, you have done well, but not enough to carry my life. You want to carry my power and host my grace. You must be so empty you become like a mirror that when men look at you, they don't see me, and you they see me. When men look at Joshua Salman, you are a true carrier of eternal life, to the degree to which the more they look at you, the more you do not become the self of attraction. You'll become a mirror reflecting his power. His grace is glory with all humility, careers of the divine life. Where then is our boasting? Where then is our bragging? No, we stand as soldiers of the cross processes of his life, with one singular assignment, revealing Jesus to the nations, not our titles, not our credentials. Are we together? He honors us because He's giving us a greater platform to reveal him. Please, men of God, call laborers and the Gospel. Let me say this already. We must learn to crucify this flesh and hiding behind the cross, this desire to want fame and to be a celebrity. As wonderful as that is, it will shortchange you from working. In the authenticity of the life of Jesus. When Jesus walked upon the earth, even though he was God in every way, and consider it not robbery, but for the purpose of his assignment, He's humbled himself. Is it not in your Bible? And the Bible says, let this mind be in you, which was in Christ Jesus. So thank you for all the accolades or not that you gave me. As I worked in what you see behind. At the back of my mind, I have no singular assignment except to see him glorified, except to see him revealed. It will be a total waste of your time if I am here tonight to only show you an anointed man, so that you will see a man that God is doing mighty things with. If for any reason there is something to see. In my life, that my life will perhaps be an inspiration to you of what God can do with men who really die. The way we live is to die. So don't tell me you are alive. Show me the grave, Show me the grave where the. Former you died. There is no man who died without a location. Eve when Jesus' grave was there. Where is your own grave as a testament that you have died, hm died to your flesh, Die to pride, Die to self aggrandizement, die to lost, die to everything the things that that so distracts us. I'm showing you the implication of eternal life is beyond yours reciting a chant, Lord Jesus, Lord Jesus, and you go back smiling. Is beyond carrying a title, respectfully speaking, pastor apostle. Those things are physical credentials. The rem of the spirit respects the grave because that is where resurrection happens. If you are to be born again, you must be able to show me the grave. This is where the former me died. This is where the lost, driven me died. This is where the sensual me died. This is where the me full of pride and full of myself died. This is the me carrying ministry on my head died. But this is now to me who's tends to represent Jesus, the me who has gotten to that rem. There were two teeves on the cross. They were all thieves. One was at Jesus's left, one was at Jesus's right, one took responsibility. He said, shame on you, we are teeves. You claim to be a righteous man and there's no proof. And the other one rebuked him and said, we're being georged justly. This man is innocent. The moment Jesus listened to that, he said, you today, you will be with me in Paradise. Preachers, listen, I want to make one more statement and then we'll pray. And I want you to be very sensitive. What I'm about to say. May this tub you, but I wanted to listen. The one question people ask me everywhere I go is what is. The secret of the grace of God upon your life? I have thought about it sincerely so that I would give an honest answer. I used to think it was my first thing. Now I know it is not. Make no mistakes about it. This is a man who firsts. I used to think it was my prayer. Now I know it's not about it. Nobody prayed more than the scribes and the Pharisees. I used to think it was the dexterity of my word study. Do you have the pentatopes of heart? This was a man who had all he fasted. He prayed as much as the law gave. And he was a man who was intellectually sound. Yet he came to Jesus and said, I'm not seeing this work. And Jesus said, there is something we need to go beyond the gates of your FIRSTI beyond the gates of praying, as important as that is, and get to your heart. The greatest secret of doing business. With God is a heart that is broken, heart that is surrendered, a life that is completely dead. Write it down. I give you a guarantee. Show me a man and you will find who has fasted without power. Show me a man and you will find who is fraid without results. Show me a man and you will find who has studied without results. But show me a man who is broken and dead. I will show you a man who has found a fountain of power, who has relevanced with God. Please listen to a key that I give you tonight. I am not in any way down playing these spiritual exercises. But we live in a world where. We have built monuments around these things, and we have confused the generation because many of them have done. These things well meaning, like the rich young ruler. Yet they have found out that that power did not come and they're asking questions. That's why they may seem to suspect anybody carrying it, because they're saying, I've obeyed everything you said. You can fast from a standpoint of lost and pride. You can fast from a standpoint of self ancratizement. You can pray. Go and read about the prayer life of two people in the Bible, one who was a prayer warrior, but in pride full of himself. The content of his prayer was the glorification of self, even though it was not the issue of prayerlessness. It was that your heart condition victors any. And every spiritual activity. Your fasting only gains potency when it's connected to a heart that is truly dead. Dead to self only to leave to reveal Christ. Your prayer only becomes potent when it is coming from a heart that is truly surrendered. I submit to you the greatest secret behind the hand of God. Upon my life, I have seen people who. Have firsted more than me, who have prayed more than me. The highest I've seen in my life of sarnity, I think was a gentleman who fasted for four hundred days. S I wrapped up the last day with him, and after those days he. Was still looking for power. Can I tell you I'm giving you. A short cut by this message tonight, not a short cut to distract you, but showing you the authentic pathway to carrying this invincible life and manifestinity experience. I agree that you have made an altar call. I agree that spiritually is the fact that God has given you that life, but the reality of it is at the messy. Of your death. In experience. You must pass through that water. You must pass through the ministry of the spirit. And the first assignment of the Holy Spirit is not to teach you. The first assignment of the Holy Spirit is not to empower you. The first assignment of the Holy Spirit is to reduce you until self dies. When the Holy Goos came upon Jesus, it began a journey with Jesus that finally culminated in the cross. Your own Holy Spirit that came upon you seems to be leading you away from the cross. We need to verify what you received, because when the Holy Goost comes, he does not tolerate self being alive. Man of God, please listen to me, Woman of God, please listen to me. Jalingod Tarabah. In addition to all the graces that will be speaking to you all through this conference, I. Bring you a word. The secret to an excelling life, an indomitable life, is to transcend beyond your physical breath, the one that you have in your birth certificate. It only qualified you to have the second one, because the protocolist you must have the first birth to have the second. Anybody who is. Not born of a woman cannot be born of the spirit. That is the reason why angels do not experience this salvation. The condition salvation is for men, and the condition to be a man is that you must passed through the womb of a woman. The only exception was Adam. Not even Jesus escaped it. Jesus is with his body today in heaven, the body that came through the womb of Mary. And that is the reason why we are sure he will come back, because he's not looking. For another body to come back. He doesn't need a virgin to give him another body. We are sure of his imminent return because he left with his body. If he left his body behind, we will be in trouble because where. Will we get another body. This same Jesus, the Bible says he will return the same way we saw him go. He went with his body. If he returns on it, it's not illegal. He still has a material body. The man Jesus, not the spirit. Jesus is the one sitting at the throne today. Why do we go around evangelizing and preaching. It is not just to satisfy the guilt or to bring ourselves into some spiritual consolation that we are minister. We do this Number one because we love Jesus. Number two because we have found out that the escape from seeing their defeat failure is not founding. An advice is not found in counselling. Beyond counselling and therapy, the secret to the problem of men on earth today is not just a therapeutic management system. As important as that is. Men must translate to a point where they accept the substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus. By the way, can I recite for you what the Bible calls the Gospel of salvation. The Gospel of Salvation is the revelation of the Father's love revealed in and through the substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus, Man and creation being the object of that love. Are we together to the intent that whosoever the Bible says believes on him, he should not perish. That blessing is for whosoever, whether you are from Adamawa black white.

You can have it as a prayer Shane if you want to. Some can take twelve to one, one to two. Let me tell you the prayer content. The prayer content is not power. The prayer content is let everything that has been exalted at both Christs die within my heart. Are we in agreement please discipline yourself. This is a week of spiritual emphasis and retreat at the permission of His Lordship. I want to plead and make that request Allelujah. So you can select any one hour between twelve and six. You are trap failing in the spirit, and your crist is Lord. Everything that I said exulted itself above you, the flesh, the lost, and everything. Let it be crucified so that the reality of this life can find expression within me. That is assignment number one. Assignment number two that I want to give you is don't you think there is enough crowd of people inside here and outside? There is still one more person in Tarabah the prophecy needs to beckon upon to be in this meeting. The second assignment is you're going to do the work of an evangelist. Both online and offline. Tell someone God is moving mightily in Taba. Some of you may need to call your colleagues in ministry. The whole chapter. It's not much study John chapter. Three, the discouse of Nicotimos as far as birth is concerned, and let God grant you illumination by the spirit Allejuyah. For the sake of time. We may not have the time to professy and pray for the sick. Now we're just starting. I understand there is a session tomorrow. Let me please pleadation. You need to write exams. There are institutes that are age dependent. If it's the internet, you need money for data. But the Church gives you the permission to come as you are sit down only to be opened to be transformed. Allelujah, prays the name of the Lord. Come with your heart open tomorrow morning. If you must come here by six in the morning to reserve in space, don't worry. It is better to stand for three days or one week and have your destiny transformed forever, Allelujah. And then again at the permission of the Bishop tomorrow night, as God grants grace, you'll be a miracule and invitation service where you will be receiving an unction from Heaven that something will come upon your life, your destiny, your ministry. It will be a redefinition of your spiritual reality. Allelujah. For those who are here in front, I stretch my hands the graces that you have received in the name of Jesus. May they or show you into deep rems of spiritual activities and any spirits that may be. Interrupting your progress. I come man, Liberty now now, now, now, in the name of Jesus. Liberty now now, for the Bible says now the Lord is that spirit. And where the spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. Yeah. At Panel twenty twenty three, I declare liberty. Every turn that has bound your life your destiny be free. Now, free to serve the living court, free to live a victorious Christian life, in the. Name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus, now hear me. Except for those who are still manifesting under the annointing. For those who are stronger and can return to their seats, they can gloriously return to their seats rejoicing. Because I want to make the other call right now. Listen, Please, no movements. Don I want to say something very important before I make the altar call. With all due respect and with honor to priesthood and all the men and the women of God here, please allow me just share one golden in my heart. If they're still on the anunting, just leave them so they don't call on one another. Watch this can I tell you, No matter what you put as your credential to measure success. If souls are not the top of the list, you are not doing much in the kingdom. In order of priority, sol winers are before revelation giants. Sole winers are before fasting giants before intercessors. The greatest and the highest index for measuring success for the believer is their bondoums of many who have been turned to righteousness. On account of your life, your fasting, your prayer, your Bible study, your diligence in the things of the spirit, must translate into a bondlence of souls. John chapter fifteen and verse eighty. He said, herein is my Father glorified. When you beer much fruit, social you be my disciples John fifteen sixteen. You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you and ordain you that you should go and bear. Fruit, and that your food should remain in order of priority. A man of God's greatest assignment, regardless the nature of the office. And the call, is to see that many are turned to righteousness. You may have listened to my message redefining the Great Commission. The first kada of the Great Commission is sole winning world evangelization. The second kada of the Great commission is disciple, the methodical mentorship of believers to attain. Stature and growth in the spirit. The third and final cada of. The Greek Commission is societal or territorial transformation. Allelujah, You are not fulfilling the Great Commission if these three aspects are not captured in your life. But my burden for tonight is that we genuinely become sole winners. No matter the kind of annointing I have, if it does not translate to a bondance of souls coming to the kingdom, it has nothing to do with what office you are calling. Every opportunity to draw many to Jesus is a welcome development when it has to do with souls. So let me challenge respectfully speaking and back on on the body of Christ. We must be intentional about drawing many to righteousness. You only disciple people who are saved. You do not disciple on believers. Allelujah tonight. The Bible says the Lord added daily to the church as many who should be saved. Every addition in the church is for salvation and then transformation by the world, and then empowerment to be witnesses. Every addition, repeat, is for salvation and then transformation through discipleship, and then empowerment to represent the purposes of the kingdom. And tonight there are many of you here. You were invited graciously by the media, by men and women, and by the angels, inviting you here noising it abroad Tenniel, twenty twenty three. Perhaps you're in the overflow or somewhere scattered around or following online by way. Of television or the Internet, and Jesus is telling you that it is time for second birth. You have gone through the natural biological birth thanks to your parents, but he calls you to a more superior birth is called a spiritual birth. It's called a rebirth. And I'm going to call I would. Count one to five for someone who is saying, Apostle, I cannot lie. I'm standing before Jesus, naked and honor shamed. I need to make it right with Jesus right now. I want to count one to five, and hurriedly, I want you to leave your seat and come and stand in front of me. Here. Let it be from the depth of your heart, and let it be sincerely. So you are saying I need the second birth. I need to make it right with Jesus. I want to begin my journey towards the experience of knowing God through his spirit and living a victorious, supernatural and excelling life. Nico Demos asks Jesus. The rich young Ruler asks, Jesus, you have been asking. Now he has come to answer. I begin my accounting. Now run to the front as I count one, Terabbi. Is this how you celebrate salvation? He who are we Recome home softly and tenderly. Jesus is calling, Holy Lord, see has come home. I'm home. Come celebrate them as they come softly and tenderly. Jesus is calling, calling first, Yes, come, who. Come, apostle. I want to come, but I'm ashamed. There's nothing to be ashamed of. My dear brother and my dear sister. Come come, those who are following, watching from across the globe. You're watching from Europe, the United States, Africa, the Caribbeans, Asia. The Middle East. Same Jesus, the same Lord is rich. Onto all come come. There is always room at the cross. Let's keep celebrating them for one minute as they come. Come. Allelujah, Come, the hymn writer says, are the cross side the cross? Where when I first saw the light and the burdens of my art roll away. It was there by. Faith I received my sight, and now I am happy all that way. My dear friends, brothers and sisters, we stand here ministering to you as not people better than you, For it is the election of grace that has kept us and brought us where we are. It is a privilege and an. Honor to midwife you encounter to help you. When a midwife is careless, what is born is called mephiboshet. It was the carelessness of a midwife that destroyed the destiny of that man. He has trained us to be effective midwives so that that process of the rebirth will be accurate. And my Bible says in. Romance chapter ten, from verse nine and ten, that if thou shalt confess with you your hearts the Lord Jesus, and believe you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe with your heart that God raised him from the dead, you shall be saved. It says, for with the heart man believes onto righteousness, and with the lips the mouth confession is made onto salvation. Speaking to Nicodemus, he said, for God soul loved the world three and verse sixteen that He gave his then one and only begotten son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish what have everlast in life. Verse seventeen says, for God did not send his son to the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be safe. He does not condemn you. He is ever faithful to give you the beginning, a new beginning. If we say we have not seen, the Bible says, we deceive ourselves and the. Truth is not in us. But if we confess our sins, that God is faithful and just to forgive us of our. Sins and to cleanse us from all on righteousness. I salute you for making this noble decision. May I please. Request that you lift your right hand high above your head as a sign of surrender. And if you are not able to make it to the frontier wherever you are scattered, you can also lift your hand as I pray with them. You can pray right where you are. Please shout this loud and clear. Believe it. You are not just reciting a poem. Faith in your heart in the Lord Jesus is that which is translated to your salvation. Say Lord Jesus one more time, Say Lord Jesus, tonight I have heard your word. I desire this second birth. I desire to be born again. I desire to receive of your life. Right now, I confess that Jesus, you are my savior. You are my Lord, you are my king. I believe that you died for my sin. I believe that you rose again for my justification. Right now I receive eternal life into my spirit. And I declare that the power of sin, satan, hell, and the grave is broken over my life. From tonight and forever, I am saved. I am a child of God. I go for whatever and backward never. Amen, keep your hands lifted. Father. Here at Peniel twenty twenty. Three, under the leadership of the Anglican Communion, we thank you for these souls that you have brought to Jesus. Thank you for doing this in Taraba. Thank you for doing this in our midst with Thank you for every one's soul that has been saved, everyone that has come to Jesus. The Bible declares that as many who will come to you, you will know why it's cast away, Lord Jesus, I declare based on the authority of Scripture. I declare their sins forgiving, and I call you bona fide recipients of the life of God, that the power of sin said, and hell and the grave that it be broken over your life. From tonight, I empower you to live victorious Christian lives. You go for whatever and backward never Amen. Now here's what I want you to do. There are number of you, so I'll plead that you move slowly so you don't ramp on one another. Their counselors waving their hands. I see them waving their hands, and this is another one. Are they taking this role to Okay, all of them are going this way. Let's celebrate all of them as they move to my right, which will be their left. Tarabi, Is this the best you can do? For Jesus? I've got a message from the Lord Aleeluya, a message onto you. Why bring this recorded in his word ar heeluya, theres only that you look a. Look at me, my brother Lee look to Jesus Christ sandily. Just recorded in his word aleeluya, theres only that you look. And now the blessing for tonight. May the Lord bless you made the mighty hand of the Lord rest upon you. Let the week of this conference before you weeks of prophetic encounters and counter us through dreams, encounter us in the place of prayer, encounter us in the place of the study of the world. Let a spiritual sac decision happened to you in the course. Of this conference. And may the Lord give you mighty testimonies. In the name of Jesus, the Lord bless you in Jesus name.
