The Believers Ordination

Father, we want to thank you for this opportunity mighty presence of God in this place. It's been such a moment of encounter. God is about to speak to us again. Speak to us, our God. Our hearts are open to learn, to receive, to grow. For the saying Jesus' mighty name we have prayed. Please, let's celebrate the amazing ministry of Minister Duncon on your CorV give him a big hand clap of praise. You may be seated. God bless you. Just before I give my charge this morning to wrap up our morning session, I want to truly honor and appreciate. A few servants of God will take time to do justice to the appreciation. Have lots of people who have come just silently sitting. This is the kind of atmosphere where you need minimal distraction because all kinds of spiritual transactions are happening. But just for the purpose of honor, I want to appreciate and acknowledge. Is a dear friend all the way from Taraba, the Anglican Bishop of Taraba, Bishop former Medicine. God bless you. Thank you so much, sir for coming. We honor you in the name of Jesus Christ and all the way from the United States, has followed us everywhere. This has become home for him.

We honor you, We honor you, Thank you, sir, thank you. Please you may be seated. I just feel stared in my heart that we should bless our mother and the Lord. Mommy funke felix at dejimo. One last time, I thought I was the only one who was blessed by her session and as I spoke to the minister's left and right. I mean, everybody was just commenting on the shining of scriptures and how intelligent her presentation was. We give God praise in Jesus' name. Now, be speaking very briefly to wrap up our morning session. I don't have too many speakings during this convention. One. I'm happy about that to but that doesn't mean the devil is not in trouble. He's in trouble anyway. We're going to pray for the sick who cast out devils and will release graces upon people in the name of Jesus. But I'm just happy that I'm not doing this alone. Allelujah. John chapter twenty and verse twenty one. Would be looking very briefly at the topic the believers ordination. The believers ordination, John twenty twenty one. I just want to put a solid foundation to the subject of the mandate, then said Jesus on to them again, Peace be onto you as my father has sent me. Even so send I you as my father has sent me. Even so send I you. Alle Lujah. Now, the concept of a mandate, I want to speak from a legal and governmental site before we come into scripture. The word mandate from its definition and that comes from a legal or a governmental expression. A mandate is an official order or a command. A mandate is an official order. It's a command that comes with an authorization or permission to fulfill a task. That's the first definition I'll give you. A mandate is an official order. It's an authorization or a command that comes with an authorization to fulfill a task. It's called a mandate an official order or command that comes with an authorization to fulfillate task. Second definition, mandate also refers to the power that is granted to a person or an entity to exercise authority on various matters affecting a jurisdiction. I read it again for you that a mandate generally refers to the power that is granted to a person, the power that is granted to an entity to exercise authority on various matters affecting a jurisdiction. So you see that the concept of a mandate is really a governmental terminology or illegal terminology having to do with the authorization to legislate, to enact, to execute away together on behalf of a government. It comes from the Latin word mandatum. Mandatum is spelled m an dat u M one more time na n dat u M. It means something that is order or something that is commanded. So when we talk about a mandate, not even just the mandate, a mandate, generally it speaks to an authorization, the legitimacy to execute an instruction, the legitimacy to execute a plan, the legitimacy to execute whatever it is that is given within a pre defined jurisdiction. So discussing the mandate as a theme for this convention really is an x ray and I wanted to listen carefully. It's an x ray of the various commissions and the responsibilities that the believer has as far as advancing the kingdom is concerned and being a blessing to our world. It's concerned. So when we talk about the mandate, it's an attempt to x ray, to under study, to uncover the various commissions, the various responsibilities that were given to God or given by God to the believer for the purpose of kingdom advance and then being a blessing to our world. It's important we have that foundation so that the concept of the mandates does not become for you an unnecessarily abstract concept. It is simply an X ray into the various assignments, and x ray into the various expectations, and x ray into the various commissionings. Are we together that God has given the believer in Christ as far as advancing His purposes upon the earth and being a blessing to the world is concerned. When Jesus walked upon the earth, he made certain statements that reflected the desires of the Father. He made certain statements that reflected the agenda of the Father, and he wanted the Church to be actively involved in these assignments, in these missions and as a foundation. My assignment here this morning is to just list for us five mandates that the believer has in Christ. There are five mandates, five commissionings, five major assignments, dimensions of our assignment in Christ. And if you are able to understand this, it will make your Christian work very efficient. One of the things that God is doing, particularly in this end time, is raising a people of maturity and responsibility beyond the consciousness of receiving things from God. God is planting his body upon men and women believer us and upon faith based organizations and entities to drive with passion like never before, the things that God desires to do, particularly in this season, and so our run with you very very quickly. Having established this foundation, there are about five major mandays that are found in the Bible that are within God's expectation and definition for the believer to execute. Failure to understand these mandates will leave you living an inefficient Christian in life. And our least for you the mandates and then talk a bit on them, speak over your life, and then we're done for the morning. Are you ready? If you're already, shout a loud, believing amen. Mandate number one, the first mandate that we have as an ordination, a commissioning, an expectation from God to execute, is the mandate for souls, the mandate for souls. We have a responsibility, we have an assignment, We have an ordination. We have a commissioning by God for the world evangelization and the global harvest as we call it. Mark Chapter sixteen and verse fifteen. Mark sixteen fifteen. Jesus is speaking sixteen fifteen, Marc. Go ye into all the world, he says, and preach the gospel. It was not a suggestion, it was not an advice. It was a mandate. The first mandates the believer has is the mandate for souls. The first mandates that the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, regardless denomination, regardless the peculiarity of your faith practice, we corporately have the first mandate of world evangelization, the mandate of souls. And he said onto them, go ye into all the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature, reading to twenty verse sixteen. He that believed and is baptized shall be saved. But he that does not believe, If and when you preach, not before you preach, he cannot be condemned if you have not preached. But if you do preach and they reject the Gospel, then they are condemned already seventeen. And while you are about that mandate, there is an assurance. While you are about that mandate, there is a bond between you and God, that these signs shall follow them that believe. I used to think the signs follow them that believe in Jesus alone. No, the signs follow them that believe in the mandate, not just in Jesus. If you believe in Jesus and you do not believe in the mandate of souls. The signs will not follow you. Many times we feel just because we believe in Jesus, the signs should follow us. The signs are attestations to help you execute a mandate. You can believe in Jesus and this believe the mandate for soul winning, the signs will not follow you. No wonder. We have a lot of believers. They genuinely believe in Jesus, but because they do not truly believe in the mandate of world evangelization, they do not truly believe in the mandate of soul winning. Although they are saved, although they are filled with the Holygos. They wonder why there is scarcity of the healing anointing, scarcity of the grace to deliver, scarcity of the activation of the true prophetic anointing. It is because the believers believe in Jesus, but they do not believe in the mandate that He has given. These signs shall follow them that believe not just in the giver of the mandate, but the mandate itself. Believe in it enough to invest your life, to invest your time, to invest your finances, to invest your energy, to see it come to fruition. Are we together? Pre Lord, preed breath, Lord br br upon my life. Pre Lord breath, pre Lord breathe pre upon my life. Listen. I received, I'm manifest. Your pover, and he always stop till the nations. CGSUS lifted up, exalted. I received, I'm manifest your prb and you always stop till the nations CGSUS lifted up. Glory time. I raised that song because I wanted you to hear an important line of the song. I received, and I manifest your power and your wisdom. Not so becalled a man of God, Apostle Joshua Selman. Not so go and only have becalled a great global ministry No till the nations. That's why I receive power till the nations see Jesus. As I preach till the nations see Jesus. Lifted, exhalted, glorified. Is someone learning this morney. The reason why our generation, inasmuch as we celebrate the wonderful things that God is doing. The reason why we're not able to see the power of God and the investments of the Spirit upon our generation like we saw in Bible days and in modern history is because most of the people who carried, for instance, what we call the healing anointing. They were called healing evangelists, not healing men of God healing evangelist. The healing followed the evangelists. The evangelist went about preaching Jesus, and then the healing followed him. This time around is the evangelist who is following healing. We have become evangelist looking for healing. The reason is because we believe in the one who center us. But we do not believe in the manday. Many of the people who manifested they anointing it on usual dimensions. In fact, some of them did not even pray for the anointing. They were all about the business of soul, and they found themselves like Philip the evangelist. The Bible says in Adds Chapter eight, from verse five that Philip went down to Samaria. I hope you know that Philip was one of the people who were brought together to South tables. But his passion for souls, he went down to some area and preached Christ. He didn't go there to do miracles. He didn't go there to do ministry. He didn't go there to make a name. He went there about the mandate of souls, and the Bible says for six that when he got there, the people with one accord gad he to the things that Philip speke, because as he speke, they heard and they saw the miracles, the attested miracles. I can tell you this by the messes of God. One key I have found to the life of the miraculous is to place the mandate of souls before you and invest your life. Driving at that agenda. You will secure many investments of grace beyond that which your prayer point can purchase. Live, ter up, glory, fat. Till the nations cigsus, till the nations. Cgesus lift, ter up lift, ter up lift, terr up, exalt lift, ter up lift, tere up lift, cheir up keep glory. Fact look chapter nineteen and verse one. This mandate has nothing to do with being a man of God. Once you are a believer in Christ, listen carefully. Once you are a believer in Christ, look nineteen ten, nineteen ten. Once you are a believer in Christ, first ten. Please you have the responsibility of seeking to save the lost, he says, for the son of Man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. That was his assignment. He came to seek and to save that which was lost. And like we read earlier, against that as my father has sent me. Is that so send are you? Someone shouted loud after me. He said, Father, come on, this is not everybody, said Father. I received grace and passion for souls, passion for the lost, passion for the global harvest. Turn it into prayer. In one minute, Father, I received grace and passion to see the lost come to Jesus. I may not be an evangelist by calling, but it is a mandate. And today here the General Assembly, I take on that responsibility to see my family members saved, to see my parents saved, to see my siblings saved, to see my transmen saved, to see my community saved. In Jesus' name, we pray number two, the second mandate that we have as believers. It's an ordination, it's a commissioning. Is the mandate to be fruitful, the mandate to bear fruit, the mandate to produce extra ordinary results. It's not a suggestion, it's not a wish, it's a it's an instruction. God has expectations as far as a fruitfulness is concern he gave on to one, five talents, he gave on to one, two talents. He gave on to one one talent. The Bible says, he went about his journey. He returned back expecting profit, expecting fruitfulness, and not finding profit from the man with the last talent he did not spare. He called him a wicked and unprofitable savant. Jesus cost a fig tree because it will not yield fixed, even though it was not the time of fix. Fruitfulness should not be a choice for a believer. It's a mandate. The reason why you have to be fruitful is because God is glorified in your fruitfulness. God is glorified when you pro juice results when you bear fruits give us John fifteen and verse eight. Hearing is a father glorified fifteen eight John, when ye bear much fruit, Hearing is the Father glorified when you bear much fruit, So shall you be my disciples. Your fruitfulness validates my mentorship. Your fruitfulness is saying, validates the integrity of my person and my word. John fifteen and verse sixteen. You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, the Bible says, and ordained you fifteen sixteen, that you should go forth and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should abide long devity of impact, long devity of results. Believer us are called to be fruitful. Believers are called to produce results. Can I tell you this. When you see results in the kingdom as an issue of personal aggrandizement, you will not have the passion to produce that result, and even if you do, it will not glorify God. But when you see fruitfulness as a tool for bringing glory to the name of the Lord, you will pursue fruitfulness with aggression, and you will fight anything in your life that speaks of burningness. You will fight anything in your life that stops you from getting results. Someone says I will be fruitful, say I will be fruitful, Allelujah. Fruitfulness brings glory to the name of the Lord. Fruitfulness in every ramification, exploits in life, exploits in ministry, exploits in business. Many times, believers celebrate a lot of things that represent on fruitfulness, and we try to look for a theology to explain the fact that when believers don't be a fruit there some way God will be glorified. But I can tell you this. You are a better Christian, and God is glorified in a greater sense when you are anointed, when you are prosperous, when you are moving forward, when you are making progress, when you are breaking forth on the left and the right. I don't know about you, but you must join me in having a thorough rejection for anything in your life that looks like bardyness. You believe that with me? Shout a man. Are we learning now? Fruitfulness is It's beyond a mad desire to be successful. Is beyond a mad desire to advance? Is beyond a mad desire to progress. We have reduced this mandate to a carnal desire to go forward, a canal desire to advance, a carnal desire to be rich or to be prosperous. The moment to import canality into that mandate, you corrupt it. And that's the reason why many, in wanting to love the Lord and God deepen your relationship, they ignorantly reject anything that call menates to fruitfulness, whether fruitfulness in finances, whether fruitfulness biologically, whether fruitfulness organizationally. But I'm here to tell you, in your excelling as a corporate person, in your excelling as a business person, in your excelling as a professional, in your excelling as a man of God, a woman of God, in your excelling as a student, in your excelling as a parent. God is glorified. You are not fulfilling the mandate when you live a life of total failure. Settle it once and for all. God can bring glory out of failure, but failure was not designed to glorify God. God can bring glory out of failure because he commands. He can command light to come out of darkness. There are times that light shines into darkness, but there are times he can bring light out of darkness. God can get glory out of any situation, but be a short based on your integrity of God's word. That failure was not designed to bring God glory. Failure was designed to mock the integrity of his person and his word. You must obtain grace and be angry in your spirit, those of us who are here and the many who are falling online. That my life will be fruitful. I will be fruitful financially, I will be fruitful spiritually. Are we together now? I like you to lift your voice in one minute and pray. Get angry with failure. It doesn't matter what form or fashion, Lord, I obtain grace. Let this be a never ending journey until my life blossoms like the cedar that is in Lebanon. I decree and declare, by the power of the Holy Spirit, I am on a project to fulfilling that mandate of fruitfulness. I will not rest. I will get the knowledge I need. I will get the mentorship I need. I will contend in prayer. I will contend in acquiring knowledge until my life becomes fruitful. Pray allelujah. As Act Chapter sixty one unvers three, the Bible calls us the planting of the Lord. How many of you know that when God plants, he expects the tree to grow, and if it grows, it must bear fruit. The Bible says, we are called the oaks or the trees of righteousness. The planting of the Lord, and the reason why he planted us was so that we would blow some and bear fruit, and in our bearing fruit, that He might be glorified. Fruitfulness is a primary channel for giving God glory. The next time you say, Father, be glorified, it should start with a prayer, start with a song. But It must never end with just a prayer and a song. Your life and your results are a valid way of bringing glory to the name of the Lord. And I speak over someone from today in the name that is above all names. You who looks like you would not become anything. You who looks like you wouldn't emerge to do much. I pray for you. Let grace rest on your head from today. Let grace rest on your head. From this morning, you will begin to produce extra ordinary results. Extra ordinary results in every area of your life. You believe that, shout Amen, allelujah. Now pay attention. Fruitfulness goes beyond a desire. Haven't established the fact that it's a mandate God expects the church believe us to be fruitful. Allelujah. I'm reminder of Ephesians three ten. It's as to the intent that now onto principalities and powers might be made known by the church the man infold wisdom of God, and that when the church becomes so fruitful Galatians one twenty four becomes our testimony, and they glorify God in me. They glorified God through the excellency of my results. But I must tell you this fruitfulness is the result of knowledge. There are three components that produce fruitfulness. I'm not going to teach on it, but let me list it. Number one wisdom, number two faith, number three power. Forget about results in the kingdom if you do not access these tripartite forces. These are principally the forces that are responsible for pro using results. One Wisdom, two faith, three power. Every time there is bankruptcy of results, every time there is bankruptcy of evidence in your Christian adventure, consult these three areas for answers. It is either wisdom is lacking, or faith is lacking, or power is lacking, or any of the components or all of them. So, if you desire to produce results to be fruitful, the journey begins from acquiring wisdom, then faith to engage that which you know. Then the empowerment of the Holy Spirit to validate your obedience. Wisdom, faith and power equals to ex for ordinary, consistent, undeniable results. Wisdom, faith and power. The third mandate, very quickly is the mandate to bring the Church, the Body of Christ, to a point of maturity and stature. The church has a mandate to the church. We have a mandate among ourselves the church has a mandate to the church, as given by God, the mandate of bringing one another to a point of maturity and stature. And the entities that have been given this responsibility principally are the fivefold ministry, in addition to every other expression within the body efficients after four the third mandate from eleven reading down to sixteen very quickly, so we can pray efficient four. I begin my reading from eleven. And he gave on to some apostles and some prophets, some evangelists, some past us, and teach us for the maturing the word perfecting, yes, the word maturing of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the define of the Body of Christ, till we all come into the unity of faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God and of a perfect Man, onto the measure of the statue as a corporate spiritual entity of the fullness of Christ. Next verse, that we henceforth be not children to stow and fro and carried about by every wind of doctrine and the slight of men and corning craftiness, wherein the lie to deceive, but speaking the truth in love. This is how you grow the Church. You speak the truth, and then you speak it in love. Every time you speak a lie, it does not build the church. Every time you speak the truth in hatred, it will not build the church. Listen carefully, if you're a man of God, here this is not a pastor's conference. But learn this. That sentence right there gives you the jurisdiction. It defines for you how to communicate the world such that the church becomes edified. You must speak, that's the first key. But that if you speak and show that what you are saying is the truth. And if it is the truth, then it must be in love. So if you are silent as a man of God, without speaking, without the teaching ministry, believers cannot grow to maturity. Miracles can draw people, but it is the teaching ministry, structured intelligently presented that buels and molds believe us. So speaking, and then it must be the truth. Sanctify them by your truth. Your world is truth, and then it must be with love. Now listen, please. The first word they're speaking talks of the primary channel, your mouth, your voice. Number two, it talks of the quality of the information the truth. Number three talks of the attitude the required attitude that makes truth work is love. Truth is powered by love. That means, where you teach the truth in hatred, even though what you are saying is right, it will not produce the effect. Love is the battery that powers the truth. The truth is like a clock, even if it is brand new. Without a battery, it cannot work. And there are many people in the Body of Christ carrying truths. But the reason why the truth is not building is because it is not in love. The truth in love in someone learning. The way we build believer us is not an abstract concept. Believers are primarily built through the teaching ministry, speaking, and then the quality of the information that is communicated truth, and then the character disposition that supports that execution. Love. Anywhere you find speaking, anywhere you find truth. Anywhere you find love, you must find maturity. Me say that again, everywhere you find speaking, a man of God that does not keep quiet is passionate about communicating the counsel of God, whether as an apostle, a prophet, and evangelist, they are all gifts that require your speaking. If you find speaking, if you find truth, and if you find love. That means when you find the Body of Christ, with all kinds of stuntedness. We need to investigate these three words. Either somebody who should speak is not speaking, has gotten carried away by the paraphernality of ministry, that he's forgotten that the reason for all the blessings is to empower you to speak. I'm holding a mic. The reason why you are able to hear me from whatever distance is because the mic is amplifying my voice. The mic is not doing the speaking. I am doing the speaking. As powerful as this mike is. Watch this. By my being silent, I make you suspect that the mic is not that powerful. That mic is the Holy ghost. He amplifies you to the nations. But when you are quiet, it will look like he's incapacitated. When you are quiet, it will look like he cannot heal. When you are quiet, it will look like he cannot lift. When you are quiet, it will look like he cannot bless. But when I speak, my speaking reveals the potential, the power of this sound system. You don't know how powerful God is until you speak. You don't know how powerful God has, the kind of annointing is placed on your life until you dare decide to teach to speak to communicate the gospel, and then watch this. Bab ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba bah what am I doing? I am speaking, but what I am saying is nonsense. Are we together? You are hearing my voice, but you are not being edified by it because what I am saying is not building you. So there are times our voices can be loud, and while we're praying, Holy goes more anointing. He said, leave the issue of anointing. Find truth. Then I can amplify you. I cannot annoint you to keep promoting a lie. So let's leave the issue of anointing first, so that we deal with the construct, your doctrinal construct, your overall understanding of Jesus, the faith life, the assignment. Then the anointing can come. They ANNO came in at chapter one, But the teaching ministry began three years before the anointing. Look at the ratio of the teaching ministry to impartation three years to one day. God once people anointed, But I can tell you this for free. He's not in a horry to anoint people. He annoys knowledge, he annoys growth, he annoys maturity, the value of the anointing is that it rests upon a vessel who has worked with God to acquire truth. And then you see there is a side effect to truth because truth can puff up. Truth can bring you into a point of arrogance, and you find out that upon the abundance of revelation, it will corrupt your character disposition. Because when you have truth is likened to your eye opening. The Bible calls it the eye of your understanding. You will no longer be patient with people. You will forget that God took you out of the same mess wherein He has instructed it to bring orders out of it. It is a reason why truth must be sat in love. It is dangerous to have truth and not have love. It's like having an accelerator without a break. You will eventually kill people. An accelerator moves you forward, but the break helps you to manage your speed so that it becomes fruitful. An accelerator without a break will lead any professional driver to disaster someone learning. We have a mandate from the church to the church, the mandate of working in partnership with the Holy ghosts in helping the believer, the corporate body attain onto maturity, attain onto stature, and that the way that happens, don't forget is to speak the truth in love. If you love alone and you don't speak the truth, the church will not grow. If you speak the truth alone and you do not love, the church will not grow. If you love and you know the truth, but you don't shade, the church will not grow. It must be truth spoken in love. Truth, doctrinal truth, truth of the mysteries of the Kingdom, truth of the victorious life of the believer, truth about what Jesus Christ has done, truth about the responsibility of the believer, the whole counsel of God communicated in love that produces maturity. I pray for you, I pray for myself, and I pray for the Body of Christ. May God empower us in this season in the name of Jesus, to teach the truth in love, to share the various dimensions that God has communicated to us. There are diversity of graces and different perspectives of light within the body. Overall is for our profiting. Once there is love and we are willing to share one with another, then the Body of Christ will grow. The dimension you don't see here you will find here the dimension you don't find here, you will find here. The most important thing is that the communicators teach truth and in love. You believe that shout a loud amen. Mandates number four someone learning already so. Mandate number one is a mandate for souls, World Evangelization, Global Missions. Mandate number two is a mandate to bear fruit, the mandate of fruitfulness as a primary channel for glorifying Jesus. Mandate number three is the mandate to bring the Church to a point of maturity and stature by teaching the truth and the truth in love. Mandate number four is the mandate to transform societies and nations. The mandate to transform societies and nations. To be the light and sault Matthew five thirteen to sixteen. We are the salt of the earth. But if the salt has lost its several wherewith Charlie is salted again, it is tandsforth, good for nothing but to be cast out and to be trodden on the foot of men. Fourteen. You are the light of Abuja, the light of Nigeria, the light of Zambia, the light of Kenya, the light of Ghana, the light of South Africa, the light of you, the United Kingdom the light of the us. You are a city that is set on an heel. Fifteen, It says, neither do men light a light a candle and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Here is a mandate. Let your light the word lets there is permit. It's an instruction. Let your life so shine that they may see your good works. So this is how society is transformed, not by speaking, look or please. The Church is transformed by speaking, but society is not transformed by speaking. Society is transformed by good works. Don't forget this. Every mandate has its execution system in training the church. If all you do for the boy, your price is charity, you will find people helped, but they will not become mature. But when it has to do with society, ladies and gentlemen, it is the business of good works, not Christian fanatism. Good works. Let me list for you what good works are. Science and technology, medicine, corporate governance, good works. Good works. This right here is where the apostolic dimension of the church is revealed. Good works. There is a lot of speaking in our world, but there's no good works. Do you know? Science, arts, technology, medicine, all of these science based faculties. They were never supposed to be anti Christ or anti faith. No science arts. They are the expression systems for the God life that is within you. Everything you receive in prayer, everything you receive in learning in the church, are we together? Science gives it a material frame for expression. I tell you this, as much as we celebrate those we call scientists inventors, the ones who make our phones, our cars, our airplanes. The best of God is not for an unbelievered to be the one to do that. But if the believers do not know, they have a mandate onto good walks to transform society through the intelligence SI. Let me tell you this. The reason why there is an imagining generation that seems to be rejecting the Christian faith is because they cannot see the faith context viualized in a way that relates to real human problems. We jack around and pray, and that's wonderful. We first we give, but they cannot see the word of God that we propose translates into intelligence that builds systems. Lets your prayer in tongues translate into building a company that employs five thousand people. Now that is good works. Are we together? Let your praying in tongues you're fasting translates into inventions, translates into a solution, a medical solution for cancer. And when you are called by the medical council, how did you get this? You will speak like Daniel, But there is a God that reveals secrets. When Daniel stood before Nebucadnazza, he didn't dance around singing prayer and worship. When Joseph stood before Pharaoh, he didn't dance around singing press and worship. No. Good works a product of intelligence. It started from the secret place. But they use the instrument of science, the instrument of literature. The man you call David a man after God's heart. David's greatest accomplishment is not even just the spirituality, is the intelligence. Look how many psalms? He wrote. Believers need to translate spiritual intelligence into a context that can transform society. Don't tell me you are a Christian doctor. Show me you are a Christian doctor. Don't tell me you are a Christian architect. Show me by your designs, the superiority of your ideas, that you have an advantage of the holygoes. Don't tell me you are a Christian professor. Show me how you transform your students with knowledge plus annoinety. A generation that cannot contextual life spirituality as an instrument and give it the frame of science and art and literature and governance and intelligence is the generation that will not be able to communicate the purposes of God effectively. There's about eight point two or three billion people upon the earth right now last I checked, and there's only about two point six billion Christians. We're not talking genuine Christians. We're talking those who fill forms and wrote Christians as a religion. And out of that two point six billion, we've hardly been able to scale that mark. We have not even gone twenty percent or forty percent. As far as world evangelization is concerned, Facebook, You two Tweeter, Instagram, noun Chachippity, and all other modern apps. Most of them are less than twenty years and more than half the world is using them, regardless your religion, regardless what you understand or They have become an intricate part of human living. And yet you have not seen sukerbag for most of you. Yet, you have not seen eln mosque. Yet you have not seen all those men, but they have important intelligence. It doesn't matter what spirit they came into partnership with, the thing is they have demonstrated that they have bettered a solution. Right now, as I'm speaking, there are tens of thousands of people across the globe hearing connecting right now. Who would have imagined that from one standpoint could be your room, your church, a stadium like this, You can literally be discipline nations. Somebody. Unfortunately that someone is not a believer, designed an application, a platform that gives visibility. Those guys are more in partnership with the program of God than many Christians. Is the reason why you pray they should die. They will not die. They are too useful to God's program. If they die, you cannot take it from where they stop. Because you have refused to prime your creativity onto good works. I pray for you you will grow past the realm of fanatism into a realm of intelligence that will contextualize the God life and cause it to be a blessing to society. You believe that shout Amen, I received, Listen, I manifest your pobb and he alwaysm I receive manif hear what you received your power and Yoursdom Africa LIFs power. We have rejected wisdom. Thank God for power. We love power. Give me power, power to wake my hands and have people fall. It would be such a blessing if the people fell and they woke up, and they were wiser, and they demonstrated it. Boy, it looks like the more they fall, the more foolish they become. The more they fall, the more incapacitated. Lid to wonder. The world is beginning to have a credence to examine the value of the Christian faith in nation building and societal transformation. I've had the honor of doing a few presentations defending the faith and showing its relevance in today's world. Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you this. We have a mission to the but the greater part of the mission is to society. We must be able to convince the governments of nations with empirical data the value of the Church in terms of education, infrastructure, moral transformation. Away together. Don't say I am a Christian person working in prisons, commission or correctional center. Use your prayer language, use your Bible study to come up with a rehabilitation program that sustains such an intelligence that can transform and inmate in six months to be rehabilitated. Sell that program, Let it be applied, and by the time you have five criminals truly rehabilitated in one year, your program without by us becomes the main stay in correcting men. Let's stop just praying and rolling and shouting. When you praying tongues when you first, when you study the world, don't stop there. Receive wisdom from the secret place, receive ideas, witty inventions. Then go to the marketplace. Go to your job, go to your lab, go to your business, go to the faculty. Away together, go to the business. Import solutions, import wisdom, Import ideas that can transform your family. They may doubt your God, but they cannot doubt the result that comes through you. It is called the wisdom of the just. Pre pre pree lo pree pree upon my will you bree loo pre pre load pree prey upo myla. Let me tell you this. You have heard me say this. Every national problem was a regional problem that could not be solved. Every regional problem plaguing society was a community problem that could not be solved. Every community problem was first a family problem that could not be solved. So what you call national problems start as family problems without intelligence to solve them. Then it becomes a community problem without intelligence to solve them. Then it becomes a regional problem without intelligence to solve it. Then it becomes a national problem and a transcontinental problem. Every am robber, every kidnapper came from a family. He started as a stop on child. The parents could not access intelligence to change him. Then it became a capon around the community, then around the region. Then he partnered with other devilish fraternities until now he became a fire and a force that is difficult to take. To change society, change regions, to change regions, change communities, to change communities, transform families. Start from there. Every father, every mother, every god, and every parent must pray to receive intelligence to be able to transform your child. Then your child would transform his classmates. Then when your child becomes a lecturer, he would transform everyone, until the society becomes transformed. I truly believe God that he had today and following online and many people who will emerge as a mighty army, an army that will not only be vibrant spiritually but will sustend the intelligence to contextualize the Christian faith in a way, the way that produces notable, feasible, undeniable, life applicable solutions. If I just describe you, shout amen, Just breathe your name upon me, break, Just bread your name upon me, breathe. Let that be your prayer, your air, your name, breath law. Just bring your name upon me. Breath. That's our prayer today. Just bread your name upon me. Breath, Just bread your name upon me. Breathe your name, way, your name, breath, Just bread the name about me. Let me wrap up. Mandate number one the mandate for souls, World evangelization. Mandate number two the mandate to bear fruits, to be fruitful as a channel for revealing the glory of God and forgiving him glory. Mandate number three the manday to bring the Church to a point of maturity and stature, generally through the instrument of the fivefold ministry, but more specifically to speak the truth in love. Mandate number four the manday to transform society, to transform nations to be light and solved using the instrument of the Seven Mountains. The channels, media, arts, business, entertainment, finances, government, family education, you name it, onto good works, to come up with intelligence, to come up with solutions that justify our passion, our love for God, our press in the secret place. Mandate number five is the mandate to walk in love. The fit mandate is the mandate to work in love. John thirteen thirty four to thirty five. Please give it to us quickly, John thirteen thirty four to thirty five. A new commandment, not a new suggestion, not a new advice, not a new wish. It's a commandment, A new commandment. I give on to you, not just that you should love me. You should love one another, not as you want many times now just a word of humor. I hope I don't get into trouble. Our mother is here. Women sometimes bully men and said the Bible says, husband, love your wife as Christ loves the church. Man, let me give you a bill out scripture. The Bible says, love one another as I have loved you. So when women say, men, you must love me as Christ love the Church, tell I agree. But let's go to John tha team. A new commandment. I give you that you should love one another as I have loved you one another as I have loved you, allelujah. You get my point. But the Bible says, yeah, if you get into trouble, don't make reference to me, go to God, allelujah. If you get into trouble, if your wife refuses to agree, just say I'm sorry and kill it there. If you call my name, unfortunately I would not be there, allelujah. A new commandment I give on to you that you should love one another. But there is a benchmark, a standard. Love one another as I have loved you, that he also loved one another Verse thirty five. By this shall all men know? By this? Shall non Christian men know by this? Shall professionals know? By this? Shall heads of government know that you are my disciples. Not when you pray in tongues, not when you roll on the floor, not when you jump up and down. When you have love not for me. They can't see me, but they can use your love one for another, and judge that the God who must have implanted this love is a good God. That means they judge my character by the way you treat yourselves. The Bible calls it the law of love. Look or please in discipleship. This is one of the anchor pillers for Bible discipleship the law of love. When you get born again, when you are taught to work by faith, the next thing to be taught is the law of love. Your discipleship is not complete if you learn warfare, if you learn how to work by faith, if you learn the power of productivity. Are we together how to pray? How to fast? And you ignore the law of love? By this? By loving one another the way I loved you? How did Jesus love us while we were yet? Seeing us on deserving, unqualified, He loved us. He reached down to us. Love does not only reach up. Love reaches down. It is very natural to reach up because it is to your advantage. But when you reach down, it is called sacrifice. Many people like reaching up, that's why they love God. But reaching down will cost you. You will bend in an uncomfortable position. The law of love. This is where I thank my parents for giving me the name that they gave me. The name Selman means the way to love. Very good name. Good name. I'm grateful to God. The name reminds me all the time that anoint in Minor's love will not leave you much revelation mine, not love will not leave you much. Skill mine not's. Love will not leave you much. I tell you something I've learned in leadership. People will soon forget what you told them, but they will never forget how they felt in your presence. People do not care how much you know, especially this generation, until they know how much you care. Where knowledge fails, love can still go further. Where skill fails, love can still go further. I know people today who do not know so much, but my goodness, their gap in knowledge has been well covered with love. I know people who know so much, but because they negated the law of love, it's been to their detriment. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the mandate. We have a mandate so that you don't just jump and say I'm attending or attended the mandate. All the discussions that have come from yesterday and will culminate to the end of this convention is centered around this. The mandate for souls, the mandate to be fruitful, and that the purpose of your fruitfulness must be to glorify Jesus. The mandates number three to transform believer us and bring them to a point of maturity. The mandate to transform society and nations, to be light and sold, to contextualize your secret place and that which comes from it, and provide solutions, solutions that make the world a better place. And the mandate to work in love Collosans three fourteen will be upstanding shortly Colosans three and verse fourteen. Above all these things put on charity love, and the Bible calls it the bond of perfection, the bond of perfectness. A final scripture for this now afternoon is efficients five one and two. The law of love be therefore follow us of God as their children. And then verse two, which is our final verse, and walk in love, not just talk the language of love, leave the lifestyle of love. You notice almost every time the Bible talks about love, it does not lead you to define your standards. It connects it to the standard of Christ. Work in love, as Christ also had loved us and dave himself for us as an offering and a sacrifice. It's my prayer that because you came for the mandate, it's my prayer that because you had a chance to follow, to listen, even it is by way of rebroadcast, that this would strengthen your understanding that there is a corporate commissioning. God has an expectation upon us and over our lives as believers. It is called the mandate, and that it's not just a one sentenced generic statement, but that it has many tributaries, many expressions. Number one souls number two, fruitfulness number three, the maturity of the saints. Number four, the transformation of society. Number five, the character of Christ revealed as we love one another. Please rise upon your feet and begin to bless the Lord for all that you have heard. Go ahead and bless him, Give him thanks, give him, praise, worship, honor he Blessed are your ears for the things you have heard today, from the first session and now this session. This is the believer's ordination. This is the believer's commission. This is the believer's mandate. Go ahead and pray. Receive grace. Your hands lifted above your head as a sign of surrender. Father, receive grace. Now that I know these things, I am determined to put them to walk fresh grace, to be all about souls, like our father and the Lord taught us yesterday. Fresh grace, to contend for the knowledge the body of truth that will help me to birth result fresh grace. Someone is praying fresh grace shape like Apprantakasa pressed fresh grace, to contribute actively in the growth and the maturity of the body, beyond denominational barriers, beyond sentiments and prejudices, to watch the back of one another and help one another stand, to break the walls of divide that have plagued the Church for many years and decades. Go ahead and pray the grace to transport in intelligence from the secret place, in the place of prayer, in the place of fasting, in the place of fellowship, in the place of study, to contextualized knowledge and through the help of the spirit. Bad solutions, scientific solutions, governmental solutions, agro allies solutions, medical solutions, security solutions, moral solutions. Finally, obtain grace to walk in love. Go ahead and obtain grace, the grace to practice forgiveness, the grace to practice for peerans, the grace to practice tolerance to all know men nothing but love. Receive grace in the name of Jesus, For it is in Jesus Mighty name we pray. It's in Jesus Victorious name we pray. Shortly, we're going to be wrapping up so that we go and rest, and then we prepare for the night session. The night session starts four thirty on the dot. It's a stretch, but it's a time of retreat and renewal for you. So once we're done praying, Minister Ducing will still take us another ten minutes of prophetic praise. We wrap up every session with prophetic praise. He'll be here with us again one last time this evening, and our mother, Mommy Funke, will still be here with us this evening again, and we're so honored to have her presence. Mommy will love you, Thank you, sincerely, thank you, sincerely. Tonight, we'll have two sessions again and then I'll come up and prophesy over you. If we have the time. We'll pray for the sick tonight and trust God for grace and any other instruction will come in the night. I want to apologize for the hits the weather. I know that it's been very uncomfortable, but it's a sacrifice. Hopefully, during one of my sessions, I'll have an opportunity to share with us why we had to transit from where you know we were and then to use the stadium. It was our best option and it's not so convenient because of the weather. But we thank God for the grace. And in the name of Jesus Christ, because you are endured, because you are pushed. You will tell the story tomorrow in the name of Jesus. You will tell the story that it was upon the wings of sacrifice the Lord changed your life. You'll receive an anointing him patted upon you for the next season in the name of Jesus Christ. Our mother already did the altar call, so I would not repeat that. Let me just speak a blessing upon our lives. Please, let me encourage you, invite us many online and on site to join tonight. You'll be a glorious time for that. You're on the dot. We begin the intercessory prayer and then by five the service that we want to give our speakers ample time, and then we hope and trust that will maintain the tempo of our clothing. I was very happy we close on time yesterday, particularly because I did not preach, and I'm happy that I'm not going to do so much of the preaching. Glorify God for that, even though you will receive so much. But the point is, I'm hoping and praying that would not stretch beyond the time allotted. We thank God for the grace the Lord bless you in Jesus' name. Father, We thank you for day two. We give you praise for this morning session. We thank you for a family connected online and for us who are here this beautiful facility. We thank you for your word and the power behind the word. Thank you for charging our hearts. That there is an ordination upon us to take away the reproach that the devil has placed upon family's LIFs territories. And this is why you are bringing us to a place of renewed ordination. I pray in the name of Jesus that upon hearing the things that we have heard tonight, we receive strength, We receive grace, We receive power to drive the mandate through its fruition in all its ramification. In the name of Jesus. Now I pray over you. May the Lord bless you. May my God bless you. In the name of Jesus. You will encounter fresh and various levels of graces a lot for your new season. In the name of Jesus Christ, I speak over you. You will not be small. My God will lift you. You will not be small. Your children will not be small, your spouse will not be small. The works of your hands will not be small. You will bear fruits, even fruits that remain. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ. And like our mother taught us, I speak over you. No we punt that is fashion against you will prosper. And every tone that rises up against you, let it fall in judgment. You will condemn it. You have condemned it, and it falls in judgment in the name of Jesus Christ. As you return back to rest, refresh, to return for the night, I declare be blessed in Jesus' mighty name. We pray shout a sevenfold Amen, want to go two, three, four, five, six seven, help me welcome Minister John, Say God bless you.
