The Builders

Aposto shared with us the five major mandates of the believer, the five major mandates of the believer, the mandates for souls, which is key and essential for every believer to understand that, and he gave us scripture for that in Matthew chapter sixteen, from verse fifteen to twenty, so that we can come into a time of global evangelism. He then told us that there's a mandate for fruitfulness for every believer. This helps us understand from John fifteen, verse eight and verse sixteen. That we are to understand. That he gave different gifts to the church, but there is also the mandate to bring the Body of Christ to a point of maturity and stature. We get that from Ephesians for eleven to fifteen that our work is to equip the saints for the work of ministry, by giving some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, some pastors, and some teachers. Our work is to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the Body of Christ. The mandate to bring the body to a point of maturity and to the point of a stature that is pleasing to God. I'll be focusing on a bit of that tonight. But we also learn number four that the mandate is to transform societies and nations to be the salt and the light. To transform societies and nations to be the salt and the light, not by Christian fanaticism. But by good works. Those words are echoing in my spirit according to Matthew chapter five, from verse thirteen to sixteen, because it says you are the salt of the earth. But if the salt has lost its savor, wherewith shall it be salted? And finally, the mandate was to walk in love. The fifth point was that we must walk in love. According to John chapter thirteen, verse thirty four and Collosions three fourteen, the character of God is judged by the way the believer lives out their lives. In understanding these five key things and these pillars by which we can then weave and understand this assignment, I've been given an assignment to bring out an understanding of knowledge, an understanding and knowledge regarding. The King Priest strategy. The King Priest strategy. I'm going to speak about the rebuilders, and in doing so, I'm going to seek, by the help of the Holy Spirit to emphasize, because tonight I will delve more into the Nehemiah understanding, and tonight we will pray over the grace of Nehemiah for builders all over this place, because I can tell in the last few days that God is releasing a grace for builders in this convention. In the name of Jesus, Open your mouth and say, I'm a builder. We will go into that understanding of the Nehemiah strategy and what God wants us to do at this time. But for now, let me put some focus on a foundation I want to lay in first Peter chapter two and verse nine. Baba says, but ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood number two, a holy nation number three, a peculiar people number four. That you should show forth the. Praises of Him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light, an amazing fivefold understanding there of the king priest dimension. You have been chosen. You are a chosen generation, a royal priest. To another version says, kings who are priests, you are God's chosen treasure. The Message version calls you kings who are priests. In Revelations chapter one, verse six, he says, and he has made us kings and priests to his God and Father. To him be glory and dominion forever and ever. And in Revelations chapter five, verse ten, I'm just giving you these scriptures which will form the foundation, he says, and has made us unto our God, kings and priests, and we shall reign. On the earth. Prophecies have been given. Regarding Africa and particularly in Essence. A consortium of people that find themselves at this gathering, Colinoimia Global Faith is a convention that is speaking. To the world. Leimu lay some emphasis on Africa on one particular element of a prophecy that has been given multiple times. I don't know if that prophecy got to Nigeria, but it's very very popular in East Africa and we have tested it in the word. It says that when you look at the shape of Africa, particularly Sub Saharan Africa, when you talk about East Africa, West Africa and South and Africa, it says the prophecy says that it takes the form of a gun. When you look at that gun, West Africa is the trigger, East Africa is the bullet, and South Africa is the muzzle that occupies this entire barrel and this entire weapon. So I believe that we are seeing this prophetic word playing out even in a gathering like this. Recently, Apostle and a few friends were in Kenya, and we are seeing that the Kingdom of God is beginning to unite in a certain understanding of what we must do at this time, and so we must fire from all cylinders. Let me tell you, Nigeria, you must make sure that the trigger is ready. East Africa, you must make sure that the bullet is ready. South Africa, you must make sure that the muzzle is ready. In other words, all of. Us need to prepare and understand what must happen at this time. We must fire from all cylinders. That means we must be preaching this word in East Africa, we must be preaching this gospel in West Africa. We must be preaching this gospel in Southern Africa. Because we are not ashamed of the gospel of our Lord and Savior. Jesus Christ. Any person who's going to come into a king priest understanding must not be ashamed of the gospel. The king priest understanding is not a creation of man. It is a scriptural understanding and is not a creation of man. Let me take you now to ask Chapter one, verse one, he says, Doctor Luke says, the former account I made, or Theophilous, of all that Jesus began. To do and teach her. Now, you can't ignore this man, Theophilus. Over twenty five percent of the New Testament was written to him. There's much debate as to whether he was there or even if he existed, or he was if he was a figure of imaginative speech by doctor Luke. Either way, his existence is not what is of importance right now. Some versions say that he called him the most excellent Theophilous, meaning that he was a person of status or high rank. The name Theophilus means that he is a lover of God or a friend of God, and doctor Luke addresses him in twenty five percent of what is written in the New Testament most excellent. But my focus is not Theophilus. It's what Luke wrote to Theophalous, and he is saying that my focus is now on the words that Jesus. Began to do and to teach. My first point to is I want to give you the resume of a good shepherd to me the curriculum Vita of a good shepherd, Number one. The first thing you have to know about a good shepherd is they have to have the ability to teach and to do. The blueprint for that is shown in the. Words that we've just heard from doctor Luke. I'll put it to you, Africa, that a season has come where we must begin to see the expression of the things that have been taught, and so we cannot get stuck in just the teaching. That has to be grace released to do. The resume of a good shepherd is that there's a combination between teaching and doing. Jeremiah chapter three, verse fifteen. Jeremiah chapter three, verse fifteen says, I will give. You shepherds after mine. Own heart, pastors according to mine own heart, says the Lord who shall feed you with knowledge and understanding. A good shepherd does not just excite you. A good shepherd has to feed you with knowledge and understanding. So we get our blueprint from the master shepherd who doctor Luke is explaining to Theophilus the Great and says that he began to do and to teach, to do and to teach. Are you learning something. Jesus was a great teacher. In John chapter ten, verse eleven, he says, I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives his. Life for the sheep, deals with devotion, deals with sacrifice, helps us understand how it will come into this king priest dimension and direction. By observing the good shepherd. Chapter ten, verse fourteen says, I am the good shepherd, and I know my sheep, and I am known by my own Every great minister is leading the sheep according to the pattern shown by the good shepherd. The second point I want to give you is that besides the resume of a good shepherd, the function of a good shepherd is that they will give you knowledge and understanding. Somebody say knowledge and understanding. Talk to me, Nigeria, say knowledge and understanding. The real work of any shepherd is to give the sheep knowledge and understanding. Please there with me as I throw these scriptures out for you. John chapter twenty one. Let's hear the discourse of Jesus to Peter. As he's speaking to Peter verse fifteen to verse seven, he says, when they had eaten breakfast, when they had dined, Jesus said to Simon Peter. Simon, son of. Jona's do you have the NKJV. If you do, I'd appreciate it. But if not, I can handle this. He says, lovest thou me more than After they had breakfast, Jesus said to Simon, Peter, Simon's son of Johonna, do you love me more than these? He said to him, Lord, you know that I love you. He said to. Him, feed my lambs. Feed my lambs. In verse seventeen or verse sorry, verse verse sixteen. Sorry. He said to him a second time, Simon's son of Jonna, Do you love me? He said to him, Lord, you know I love you. He said to him, tend my sheep. The third thing he did is that he said to him now in verse seventeen. He said to him the third time, Simon's son of Jonna. Do you love me? Peter was grief because he said to him the third time, do you love me? And he said to him, Lord, you know all things. You know that I love you. Jesus said to him, feed my sheep. The dimension here is feed my lambs. Tend my sheep, feed my sheep. It is as though Jesus was wanting us to come into an understanding of the three times of Peter's denial. But now Peter is being transformed into the three dimensions of Peter's restoration in not just feeding the lambs, not just tending the sheep, but feed my sheep. In order to understand this element that I want to bring out, we must delve a little bit into this understanding of knowledge and understanding. Any good shepherd must be to bring an understanding and a knowledge. Of God to the people of God. Joseiah chapter four, verse six says that my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge because you have rejected knowledge. I reject you also as a priest for me. So it means that any shepherd who rejects knowledge is going to be rejected by God as a priest. Therefore, every minister, every shepherd who is worth their salt, must be able to release knowledge and understanding. Now let me begin coming home number three. Any king priest who rejects knowledge will be rejected by God. It tells me that knowledge is key and it is superior care to general knowledge. This knowledge we are dealing about is a knowledge that is above the general knowledge that is on a person. So a shepherd after God's own heart will release knowledge and understanding. What do we deal with as shepherds? First Corinthians, Chapter four, from verse one and two Bible says, let a man consider us as servants of Christ and as stewards of the mysteries of God. To be able to decipher this knowledge and to carry this knowledge will require a man to be able to be considered as a carrier of the mysteries of God. And verse two then begins to help us understand that such a person must be a good steward. It is required in stewards that they be found faithful, glory beater God. So if we understand knowledge, then we have to ask the help of God as servants of Christ, to dispel these mysteries, so that God can help us to faithfully release to His people the knowledge on how to teach and to do. I put it to you in all humility that the true understanding of this king priest, the true exercise of a king priest, cannot stay in a cocoon. Of expression in theory only. I'll say that again. I want to put it to you in all humility that when you say you're a king priest, that you cannot stay only in the dimension of teaching. We must move into the understanding of doing. This requires God to help us by the help of the Holy Spirit, to be able to then bring this expression to bear the key. Of this merger of king priests. Because it's not a statement that was being guessed into scripture. It exists in scripture. It's not just a teaching, but out of every teaching there has to be a doing. Allelujah, Colnogonia, family, and to the world. We cannot be recipients only of information and the knowledge of God. There has to be a place where this knowledge must begin to be demonstrated by expression. Our function is to superimpose the Kingdom of Heaven on the earth. And I want to make some arguments today, some legal arguments that will help us understand that we are not here to just dispel information. Only every grace that you have seen here will find It's true joy in that after you leave here, everything that has been spoken will find expression in Jesus' name. That's a good point to say. Amen. In other words, you shall not be a container of four days of information, but you shall be a release of the potential of God. For everything that has been spoken shall be seen expressed in a child of God. I declare in the name of Jesus, the people coming out of this meeting shall be an expression and a first fruit of everything that has been spoken, so that they can become the expression and the definition for others to read. I say, over your life, you will not just be a container of power, but the potential on the inside of you is going to find expression through the grace of God. That is present in this meeting. And now we are going to see you becoming what has been spoken. It's not just teaching, it is doing. There has to be a place we come out of just hearing. There has to be a place we come out and begin. To do what we have heard. May everything that is stopping you from becoming be under your feet in the name of Jesus. May every element that would stop you from becoming what God has called you to do, May it be under your feet now in the name of Jesus. Say aloud, Amen. Anyone following Master Jesus, must following the expression of what we have seen, and that expression that we were taught so powerfully last night, that is bigger than gold and silver. Silver and gold have I none but what I have I give unto thee. It is a teaching and a doing dimension. Any carrier of the mysteries of God must be faithful in how we carry out this assignment. I want to put it to you as I. Hear in the spirit right now, that I don't know where you are last week, but I thank God that you're here this week. I thank God that you're listening to what is being spoken. Last week was the last week of a lack of expression of the things that you have heard. I come in the name of the Lord and. Declare everything that you hear. You're going to become an expression of everything that you hear. You're going to become an. Expression of If it happened with Peter and John on the way to the Temple, we shall see it in our generation. If it happened with God on the persona of Jesus Christ, we're gonna see it in expression in our generation. I want you to find somebody next to you and tell them you're going to become the. Expression of everything that you have heard. In other words, a season is about to come where you shall be like written epistle, you shall be like a letter that is being read by people. You shall be an answer to a certain territory. You shall be an answer to a nation. Why you are becoming the expression of the grace that has been spoken over the years. You're not just a container of the information. You are not just a retainer of the information. You are the expression of that information. In the name of Jesus. Let me hear the loudest amen from Abuja. The devil is a liar, because there is, and I want to show you a temptation, even in the body of Christ, to constantly make us just recipients of information. And this information is no good when it just comes into you and stays in you. This grace that is upon you, according to. Ephesians, chapter three, verse two, have you not heard of the dispensation on all the grace of God that was given to me for you? Nothing sits on a man for the man. Anything sitting on a person is for a generation. So we declare tonight you will find expression. We declare this morning you will find expression for that gift. Platforms will open for that expression. Places will open for that expression. Bibo says that the harvest is plenty, but the laborers are few. Ha. We pray to the God of the harvest that he will send forth the laborers Callinoonia Global Faith Convention. I'm so glad that I'm looking at people that will enter Pakistan. And will enter China, and. Will enter Korea, and we'll go to the uttermost parts of the earth for the expression of the gospel. We are firing from our cylinders in South Africa, in East Africa, in West Africa. Studying from here in Abuja, we declare. That Jane is ready to fire. Somebody shout fire three times. All a lawyer to God with the glory. Now, this true exercise has to be expressed, not in theory, but. It has to be seen, he says. Study to show yourself approve Sewi Timothy two fifteen. And too, God a workman that need not be ashamed, rightly dividing, rightly dividing. Last night, Mama, you blessed me off my socks. Mama was talking about the ark of the Covenant, the presence of God. The reason we have to have this knowledge and understanding is because we have to understand what to do with what we have. I've bin Adab heard the ark in his house. He had two sons, Husa and Ahiro Levites. They were supposed to have the knowledge and the understanding because they had the presence for twenty years and it didn't do anything for their house. Listen, just because you've had something for long does not qualify you to tell me that you've now understood how it is used. Because I will not know you by what you say. I will know you by your fruit. These people should have had knowledge and understanding. If you have the presence of God for twenty years, there should have been. A sign in your house. About how to carry this presence. There should have been an understanding. Practicing something for many years and having something for many years not translate into fruitfulness. I'm trying to show you that we have to have our minds ready to be transformed into the mind that was in Christ Jesus. So in understanding this, it means that there has to be knowledge about knowing what to do, and not just knowledge, but what to do with that knowledge, which dives into a dimension called wisdom. God killed a priest who didn't know how to handle his presence. Hmm. This same presence goes into a house called obed edom and obed Edom was a Kora Heights. He was a Kora Height, and Chora Heights had been removed from serving Moses because of what they had done in undervaluing the office of Moses. And so they had been removed for their treason. But years later, years later, centuries later, we find a Chora Height who had taken time to study and to understand how to treat the presence of God. In three months. In three months, obed Edom began to see fruit that had not been seen in ab in Adam's house for twenty years. Ladies and gentlemen, it's not a matter of time, it's a matter of God. It's a matter of understanding. So when I come and speak to you here, some of you who just came into this understanding two years ago, you will find that there are people who have had the presence for twenty years. But because you've understood, that is why in this kingdom overtaking is allowed. I'm so glad I'm speaking to overtake us this morning because over Edom began to see results in his house in three months, because he took time to. Have knowledge and to have understanding. This thing will come because people have given of themselves to say I'm getting something that, even though others have had the salvation for twenty years, I've desired that my hunger will be to know more than others know, to spend time in. His presence for intimacy, so that we can see fruit. I professor over your life in the name of Jesus, that you shall be called an overcomer, and you shall be called an overtaker Nigeria. Let me hear you shout allowed a man. I thank God for how long you've known God. But this is not about how long you've known God. This is about what you know about God. What do we know? It means that obed Edom understood how to entreat the presence of God for advantage. I'm coming to the marketplace in a minute. He understood how to entreat God for advantage. His house understood how to entreat the presence. And by the way, the Bible says that the fame of what was happening in the house of obed Edom even reached the When you start to understand how to entreat the presence, you don't have to advertise yourself. The presence of God will advertise you. The presence of God will open doors for you. Ah. There are places you won't have to take yourself anymore. Their doors God will open for you that man cannot shut. And when you understand how to entreat the presence of God, you will have advantage. By the end of this convention, I believe that the hunger I've seen here and what God has begun to do, there are people who will begin to walk in this. Nehemiah anointing, in Nehemiah grace, not just to teach, but they will begin to do. Ah. Inside of you, there's an expression we. Are about to see that has never been seen. Before on the earth. Inside of you, there's a person that has not been seen even by your family. I'm so glad that this. Convention was called, because this is the expiry of your days of being hidden. Are come in the name of the Lord and. Declare your season of discovery has come. I said, your season of discovery has come. Inside of you are some buildings. Inside of you are some education curriculums. Inside of you is an expression of the things of God that no eye has seen, no ear has heard, nor has it entered into the hearts of man. What God has it stopped for you there's about to be an explosion of dynamic proponent by God. I feel the anointing of God. In this place. I want you to find two people and say I have help. I have help. Those hands that I'm speaking to right now prophetically are going to do what those hands I've never done before. Those feet listen to me. The function of a shepherd is not to excite the sheep. The function of a shepherd is to release knowledge and understanding. So in understanding some of the gifts that were given to the church, I'm now speaking prophetically. I declare, before this year. Is over, those hands I begin to do what those hands have never done before. Those feet are. About to walk where those feet have never gone before. Those eyes are about to see what those eyes have never seen before. You're going to be walking as a wonder on the earth our levels. Catalada, baaders, catalada, in the name of Jesus. The expiry of your season of being hidden has come. Your season of discovery is here. If I hear the loudest amen, I'll over to my next points. I usually hear when they tell us from Nigeria. Let that amen sound like thunder. I've always wanted to say that Nigeria. Let your men sound like Danda. Say. Something is about to break in this place. People are about to answer where they've never been before. Those feet have been prepared to go where they've never been before. Those hands are gonna do one of those hands have never done before. To God be the glory and honor live those hands, to the glory of his name, and give him praise all over this place. Come. The devil is a liar. I must know how to entreat, please, saidan. I must know how to entreat the presence, even as a CEO, even as a person that's stealing in the arena of oil and mining, in every industry. I must understand how to entreat his presence in my company. When God opens these doors for us, we must have a knowledge and an understanding. I just want to lay a foundation tonight. We go a little bit deeper into this Nehmayah grace. There is not one person that shall live here without receiving the Nemayah grace and the Nehemiah annointing. Please indulge me for a minute in the spirit. I want to just speak it as I hear it in the spirit. Right now. I believe We're. About to witness out of this continent the greatest Namaya grace that has ever been seen on the earth before. I believe what governments have not been able to do. Children of the Kingdom, are gonna walk into dimensions where you will demonstrate the glory of God. I believe what history was never able to accomplish. And I thank God because I'll deal with seasons and times tonight. I thank God. It's all beginning in Africa. I thank God for the world, but something's happening in Africa right now. So this Nehmia grace of builders is going to be on every one of you tonight in the name of Jesus, even since it's already on the inside of you. All we shall be doing tonight is activating something that's already on the inside of you. We shall stir it. When I was. Once, I was having a cup of tea and Kenya, we like to drink tea. I know in Nigeria you don't take tea much. Please sit down, and Kenya we drink tea. It's one of the things we inherited from our colonialists. And I like tea. So I was having my tea and I I like it with sugar because I'm not yet treat enough. And as I was ticking my tea, it have been served to me. And I took the sip of the and I said, oh, you didn't put sugar in my tea. And then I was told there's sugar in there. I said, no, there's no sugar. I've tasted it. I said, oh, I'm sorry. The problem is it's there, but it's not stirred. We didn't come to give you anything you don't already have. Anything you need is already on the inside of you. Our function is just as the ministers of the gospel. We are tearing you up to begin to taste, to begin to become everything that God has called you to become. I need you to look at some sugar next to you and tell them you're coming out. You're gonna become everything that God has called you to become. Stir it up, Stir it up in the name of Jesus. By the time we are done, you will taste. You will be tasted. The world will taste what you are carrying. It cannot be hidden any longer. I feel like speaking to somebody here. The days of hiding that thing I've come to an end. Some of you, they will taste on Monday and say what happened to you? Tell them I was at Corinoonia. Something happened at Corinoonia. Something God stir that coinnonia Ah, I feel that grace of love. Something will stir that Coinoy here. Last week you couldn't taste me, but you cannot ignore me any longer. Because I'm coming out of the closet. I'm coming out of hiding. Sheesus is glorified in your life. Shut aloud, a man, the grace to teach and to do, the grace to teach and to do a loboscatar to God be the glory. Please sit down, lift up your hands. I sense a grace that is just coming over people right now. Mm hmmm mm hmmm. H yes you. M hm h Come on, lift your heads. Say yes, shoe to teach you to do, to teach you to do? Yess my God, And who. Was us? Yeah it. Time? Yes yes you. Yes, yes says. It's not a metal time. It's a mat all coh go that I may know him and the power of his resurrection. H ah. Put those hands before God right now, Just put those hands before God. Just let God begin to see those hands and say, Father made these hands become the expression of Heaven on the earth. May these hands do what they've never done before. One momentute emotion. Tell you this person hardly. Please have your seats in the presence of the law. What must we do. About this knowledge and understanding? How shall this thing be? The Holy Ghost shall come upon you. The Holy Ghost shall come upon you. We must figure out the mind of God on a ma time. Hm. That's what we must do. So the fourth thing that I want to share with you is that we must follow the pattern. There is a predescribed pattern that has been set that needs to be understood. Hey, this is it. There's a heavy presence here. I'm trying to navigate in the spirit, really doing my best. The Holy Ghost, the Holy Ghost is beginning to accelerate people into destiny. The coo prados catalada. Hey, please help those that are coming out of your annointing. The Holy Ghost is breaking patterns, breaking, delay breaking, breaking all over the place. H We're firing from our cylinders south west east. Now, we're not ashamed of the gospel. It's so beautiful. I can see it. That architects would just be walking around their building and their contractors. Are getting healed. Yeah, grace is coming on civil engineers. Grace is coming on people in the marketplace. Hey Joseph, who will enter and provide pharaohs with answers to fiscal policies, heythers catalada answers to governments. The body of Christ, ancestry economic Christs are in the body of Christ. Ancest to nations a in the body of Christ. This thing must break. A la barada. When you see God bring us together like this. It's an answer to the body of Christ that the East meets West meets South. It's an answer to the unity and to the prophetic and apostolic presbytery beginning to come together because the apostle cannot go where the prophet has not seen. Oh, be lifted a pole the other gods, relay our. Counts and worship you follow. Be lifted a pole of every other cow. We lay on counts, hand worse ship, all glorious scars. We pray, story andry worship. Let me drive this a little bit further. We must follow the pattern. Please be seated. Thank you, Holy Spirit, Thank you Holy Spirit. You're so beautiful. In Hebrews eight five, he tells Moses, Moses, you must build according to the pattern. Who is the pattern? The good shepherd is the pattern. Hey, I'll take two minutes to deal with this. I hear in the spirit. I just want to be sensitive this morning. I hear in the spirit that the woman in. John chapter four, she said, we have worshiped in this mountain for long. I want to pair that together with the house of Abinada. Having the presence for long and what you do with the presents. Are two very different things. Jesus says, you have worshiped, but you've worshiped what you don't know. God, help us to appropriate your gospel with. Such accuracy and such understanding as your shepherds, that we give your children knowledge and understanding, Knowledge and understanding. Where do we get this knowledge and understanding? I mean Isaiah chapter eleven Verus one. Let's understand the mind of God on the matter. He says, there shall come forth from the rod, forth a road from the stem of just, and a branch shall grow out of his roots. M this branch, I'm dealing with knowledge and understanding. Verse two. The Holy ghost shall come upon you, he says, the spirit of the law shall rest upon him. I'm talking to CEOs, talking to bank owners. I'm talking to industry shakers. Holy ghosts failed. The industry shakers, Ah, they mahe mayas that are holy ghost failed. On one hand they hold the sword of truth, the sword of the spirit, and with the other hand they work. The days of being ashamed of your Jesus, that's not the word place have come to an end. We're not ashamed to call him Lord of lords and king of our lives. We're not ashamed of The Gospel says they shall come forth. From the word of Jesse, and a stem come out of that word, a road from the stem of Jesse. A branch shall grow out of his roots, which means. If Jesus is the master shepherd, if Jesus is the good shepherd, then the pattern must be that I am the vine. You are the branches. A brunch shall grow out of his roots. The ecclesia. The church, and this branch. In Verse two of our ire, chapter eleven begins to describe the seven expressions of the Spirit of God. The spirit of the Lord. Shall rest upon him, say, the spirit of God is resting upon me, as that is happening. He's resting on some of you are fresh right now, a new dimension of the Holy Ghost, the manifold wisdom of God resting upon you. Then he says, the spirit of wisdom, the spirit of understanding. Wait a minute, how shall this thing be? There's a dimension of understanding that is a spirit, So understanding is a spirit. Car That's why I told you it's not a matter of time. It's a matter of God. That you could have walked in here without understanding on Monday, but by Friday, some thing has. Come on you. You begin to understand things you couldn't understand two weeks ago. Listen, I need you to understand and capture this because it's important. Because what we need to do we don't have time, but we have God. So on day one, you will be in prison in the morning, but by ten am you're being escotted into a place for haircuts, and by noon you have bodyguards that are cutting you to the palace. You cannot have prison. You don't have time. You don't have time to learn certain protocols. You don't have time to learn certain things. The place God is about to accelerate some of us. He's moving you from that prison straight into. A meeting with Pharaoh. If you think you have time for ten years of a PhD. I love education and you must get it. But there are some things that are coming as an emergency. There are places some of you will find yourselves before December this year, and. You don't have the time to go and finish certain things in the university. What must come upon you is a spirit of understanding. Amostataw today in the name of Jesus, Let this mind be in you which was in Christ. Jesus understanding. There's a dimension of the spirit. There's a dimension of understanding that there is a spirit. Please let's keep that up so that I can be able to bring it to a cluse. He says. He says the spirit of wisdom, the spirit spirit of and the spirit of understanding. Then he says, the spirit of cancer Ah, the spirit of might, the spirit of knowledge. Wait a minute, All of a sudden, I'm discovering that knowledge is a spirit. Listen to me carefully, cal. Do you have Thank you Nigeria for making me feel free. I'm feeling free to preach. Do you have the message version by any chance? Because I want to show you something, but it says the spirit of knowledge and the spirit of the fear of the Lord. So understanding is a spirit. So when it says that the shepherds will give to you knowledge and understanding, the greatest thing a shepherd can do is pray, Father open their eyes that they may begin to see our spirit. The spirit of the Lord shall come upon you and be able to bring you into a place of understanding. Some things that had refused to enter you will under I'm. Trying to say, what has taken people a hundred years to build The grace of Nahmayah shortens time. Because the spirit of the Lord. Has come upon you, the spirit of understanding, the spirit of knowledge. Knowledge is a spirit. How do I know? Take me to Daniel chapter one, verse ten. I'm in the marketplace. Now, I'm in the marketplace because of time. I don't think I'm able to read all of Daniel chapter one, West ten Daniel one ten hah, and the chief you know not accept to Daniel. I fear the Lord, my King, who has appointed your food and drink. Why should you why should you see your faces looking worse? They refused to eat the diet of Babylon. Verse eighteen because of time, Because of Time Verse eighteen. At the end of the days, when the king had said. That they should be brought in, the chief unit brought them in before Nebucadnezza continued. The king interviewed them, and among them all none was found like Daniel, Hannanaya, Micheal, and Asariah. Therefore they served before the king. I'll tell you what had happened. In all matters of wisdom and understanding about which the king examined them, he found them ten times better. These boys had just come into Babylon, but they were found ten times better because the Bible declares. That God gave them knowledge. The advantage you're going to have in the marketplace is not by might, not by power, But you're going to receive. The spirit of knowledge and the spirit of understanding that. Will cause over taking, and will cause pursuing, and will cause recovery for the Kingdom of God. If you believe what I'm saying, shut aloud. Amen, good? Are we together? So far? Are you? Are we together? Good? Please have your seats. I want to use another fifteen minutes to just show you something, and then I'm out of your way and I'll see you tonight after that. So I must come to an understanding. That there's a dimension of understanding that is a spirit, and there's a dimension of knowledge that is a spirit. If you don't understand this, you'll not understand then Hemiah dimension. You have to understand this. So I'm trying to show you what past the Porte was trying to show us yesterday, because this is the goal that you need in the marketplace. Yes, this is the goal you're gonna need in the marketplace, being the salt and the light of the world. Second Corinthian, Chapter ten, verse three to six. I know you don't have the message version and of love to show it to you. It says that the world is unprincipled. The world doesn't fight fair. It's dog eat dog out there. And then it says that the weapons of our warfare are not Colonel Ah. Thank you they found it. It says the world is unprincipled, it's dog eat dog out there. The world doesn't fight fair. Aha. That's why when you come to church, we give you some more small battle. So when you come to church, we talk about you and we back bite you. We're just giving you practice for the world. I'm just joking, he says. The tools of our trade are not for marketing or for manipulation, but they're for demolishing that entirely massively corrupt culture. We use our powerful God's tools for smashing wopped philosophies. I want to come to a point here that's important. It's for smashing powerful for smashing wopped philosophies. I need some help from one of you. Could you come with your guitar, so please, if you don't mind, let me show you something. Thank you, so God bless you can put your book here. Now I want you to lift your guitar. Just lift it up like this. Let's you and I look at something. Take it off, Just lift it up like this. Let's look at it like as if you're looking at a piece of wood. Hold it with both hands. Hold it to both hands. That's lifted. So so if I'm a carpenter, I could look at this and say. If I'm an amateur, I could look at this and say this is perfect, this is straight. But if this is a seasoned carpenter, he could look at it and say, no, this is not good. It's warped. So with my naked I am looking and I'm wondering, what are you seeing that I'm not seeing, and he can look and say it's not right. I'm not gonna use it for this purpose. It's wopped. This is what we call warped philosophies, things that sound true but are not true. That you must have the spirit of dissignment in this time and age to be able to know what a warped philosophy is. Because Satan's greatest trick is to try and demonstrate to a generation that he doesn't exist. This is what the weapons of our warfare are for. They are for coming to the Master builder and using him to cause correct and next one, if he says it's wopped, we are dumbed and agree. It is wopped. That they are for demolishing the entire and massively corrupt culture. We use our god tools for smashing roped philosophies. For instance, when doctor Monroe came to Kenya, we had just gone through a terrorism attack. We were coming and saying, these people are our enemies. It says, Julian people are not the enemies. The problem is you're dealing with a philosophy. Terrorism is a philosophy. Are you understanding what I'm saying? So he said, the problem is You cannot kill terrorism with a bullet. A philosophy must be countered with a higher idea. So don't look at a philosophy and think that you can attack it with a bully, or think that you can attack it in a prayer closet. No, God must introduce his truth to what looks like truth, but isn't truth. Are you understanding what I'm saying? So our god tools are for smashing warped philosophies. Where somebody wants to introduce a curriculum into your education sector. It sounds good, but it's gonna teach your girls that they could have woken. Up this morning as a boy. It's a wopped philosophy. Apostle. I'll shock you by telling you that in Kenya the most expensive schools right now. Out of a survey done in Africa, of the top twenty five most expensive schools, twelve. Were found in Kenya. Out of the twelve, eleven were founded as missionary schools. It means that the Kingdom of God carries the best curriculums on earth. But somewhere along the way we lost a mission and found out that the world loves. What we have. We chose to go with dollars versus mission. So for God to use us in the marketplace, we must understand that our God tools are so that when we bring an education curriculum to be able to change how the world is looking at things, it cannot be an education curriculum that is purely driven by bottom line. No, it must have cause to it. Are you understanding what I'm saying? It must be driven by cause. When we talk about housing and settling people, it must be building with our cause, so that we are solving the wopped philosophy. I put it to you as in ahemayas rise here tonight. People are gonna invade every sector of our society and will begin to bring. The truth of God for everyone. Philosophy that is even in your office place. God is going to begin using you with his wisdom to change it to suit his purposes. Say aloud, Amen, Thank you sir. So we come and start to understand this. Understanding this knowledge, The Bible says God so loved the world. The same time I hear in James four for friendship with the world is enmity with God. Those are two different worlds that are being talked about. One is Chronus, the other is eons. What God doesn't like is the philosophy is the eons, the ideologies of man that remove man from his truth and put men in an abstruct truth that looks like truth, but it is not truth. So what must we do? We must release understanding. So you even delve in the kingdom matters of righteousness. You begin to enter the place of God, opening your eyes to understand what. Is righteousness. Because the throne of God is built on righteousness and justice. You can't ignore this truth as a king priest, No, you can't. There's a man called Hazel, called Keegel, Sorry not Hazel. Keegel was a great philosopher. This great philosopher came and said that man has a problem because man has to deal with the consciousness of sin, and that consciousness of sin is a problem because every time he tries to attempt how to move to his next level, this consciousness is disturbing him. So Keegel said, I must remove God in my philosophy. He removed God because if you remove God, you remove Satan. And if you remove Satan, he removes sin. And did you remove sin, you remove the consciousness of sin. I'm going somewhere just come with me. So the Bible begins to help us understand. What did he do? He created a new truth. Ladies and gentlemen. This is one of the most dangerous things to hear in a generation, a generation that loves to respond when you ask them something and they say, well, it doesn't matter, that is my truth. I want you to look at your neighbor and tell them you don't have a truth. The only truth is Jesus Christ. The Bible says he said, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. So no person can come and begin to introduce another truth. So a king priest must be guided by the. Truth regarding why they're getting into the project that they're getting into and doing the things that they're getting into. I'll deal with more of that tonight, righteousness. So Keegle decided, let me remove God, because if you can't remove God, I remove Satan. If I can remove Satan, I remove sin. If I remove sin, I remove consciousness. So I remove men feeling guilty about how they are doing life. The law of relativism relativism relative truth. There's no such thing as relative truth. Truth is Jesus. Truth is a person. For every king priest that is under the sound of my voice. That truth is Jesus Christ. Let me hear you shout aloud amen to that truth. So knowledge and understanding is the heart of the matter. I'll use my last ten minutes or twelve minutes to say this. In Africa, right now, in Africa, right now, at this time, God is doing something at this time. A new thing doesn't dismiss the old. No, it comes into relationship with what Christ has already started doing. Why is there so much bushing within Christendom? Why is there so much bushing within Christendom? Let me attempt to just deal with this. I agree that righteousness is a gift. Yes, I agree Romance five seventeen. Righteousness is a gift. It's not earned by works. Righteousness is completely given to us as a gift. We are justified by faith. Therefore it is by grace in Christ. This is true Proverbs chapter fourteen, verse thirty four. Though makes it difficult for me to reconcile that I should only accept. It as a gift. It says righteousness exalts a nation. Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people. Proverbs twenty nine two. When the righteous are in what authority? What happens the people rejoice? So I can't stay in a dimension of righteousness of just receiving the gifts. No, I must investigate righteousness to understand that. As much as I've been taught, I must begin. To do righteousness. Oh Lord help me. Righteousness is not something I sit on just because it's a gift. Sir, I need somebody to bring me. Can you bring me David? Can you bring me your phone? Just bring me your phone. I'm going to assume this phone was rapped. I assume this is a gift. Just stand here. But if I don't unrup this gift, this is what is happening in the church. Many people are working with righteousness. As a gift. But just like I've been up, they don't know what to do with a gift. The purpose for which the offenllers was. Written towards to be able to understand that the gift was not just supposed to be received and sit dormant calet brados katar. This gift must be unrapped. This gift must be unrupped to understand what. Is this gift that I received? Jesus, why have you allowed me to go through seasons to go through the value. Of the shadow of death. Why did I go through Portiphar's house, come out. And go into jail. The unwrapping of the gift called righteousness is something we must all begin to do and examine. That is why we've come for Cononia to go deeper into understanding that. I'm not going to get into an argument about righteousness being a gift. That's not the end purpose of righteousness. Yes, when I begin to come out of righteousness, I move into another dimension of my salvation, after sanctify, after justification, I move into sanctification and sanctificial. And to meet with the righteousness of Jesus. Take me to look thirteen. Let's close this so that you understand what I'm trying to say. Look Chapter thirteen, from verse ten, Ah, what do I do with my gift? I have righteousness? Listen, I think the church, because this is a platform that is being listened to globally. I think the church must accept, particularly the church in Africa. We must accept something. And what I'm about to tell is an opinion, so it must be tested because it's upson a man, that person when they begin to un to change because righteousness has stepped in. I knows Katala daba never has held you back. From nineteen ninety four. Eighteen years is a long time. Let me say something, accepting that this is how things are. But the righteousness exhausts a nation. Our label's catala dabah, righteousness found them. No, that is not the formula of righteousness. So we come in the name of the Lord and declare, whatever has held your home for eighteen years, righteousness has come into town, and we declared the name of Jesus, you must be loosed from it. I dare you to walk two steps from where you are. I say, the same way I have walked is the same way I have left this thing behind. Follow me in the name of Jesus. Say I'm lose from every infamity. I'm lose from diabetes, I'm lose from poverty, I'm lose from cancer. But I like what came after that. Come with me. Look at the next verse, and he laid his hands on her, and immediately some there will be a reference point on which you are made. Streets that before you used to walk in society, and people could see there was a bend has kissed mercy and God is saying you have entered a season now when that band is about to be corrected. There's about to be a correction of your family flaws. There's about to be a correction of the way you've walked before. You are loose from that thing in the name of Jesus, he says. He laid his hands on her, and immediately she was made straight. I prophessey right now, Summer online. Some I hear right now, Shot, I didn't hear you, n Jay Shot immediately. Shouting me. They carry that thing is behind me. I want you to say, whatever it is, I'll give you. Tens against the praise God for it. Say right now, it's living in the name of Jesus. Ah continued the verse fourteen. Then the Bible says, but the ruler of the synagogue answer with indignation, because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath. He said to the crowd, there are six days on which men ought to work. Therefore, come and be healed on them, and not on the Sabbath day. But Heaven is about to answer for you. For too long you've had to answer for yourself. But look for three people and say, Heaven will speak for me. He says, does not each one of you on the Sabbath lose his ox or donkey from the stall and lead. It away to water? Ate continue please, then, he says, so not this woman, being a docta of Abraham, Jesus introduced legality. Who has been bound. We're about to be set free in Kenya. He is that I put it to you. I love governments. God bless every leader and authority. But there are things that God has left for the display of the church. Ephesians three ten says that now the manifold wisdom of God be made non bother church to the principalities. This thing that has bothered you for eighteen years, I come in the name of the Lord and say it is broken. I said, I come in the name of the Lord and declare it is broken. Tonight, as you received the name are anointing. Some of you are gonna walk out into Abuja a new. Man, a new woman. They will look at you and say, but yesterday you had a bench. He said, I went for Coinoinia. Things were sorted out in Annoy. Here. I've understood righteousness. I've understood justice, have understood salvation. I've understood the gift that is in Christ Jesus in my life. I want to declare, you shall walk. Out of here without our man's in the name of Jesus, say three amens, like thunder. And what you have going, what you have accomplished. I like what mister Paulge was taking us to last night. When you've accomplished it, Jesus said, Simon, Simon, have prayed for you that your faith will not fail you. When you come out, strengthen your brethren, Nigeria, Come David. Minister damn Come is this minister? Who am I looking at here? Come? Come, sir Nigeria. I want you to know you're not coming out alone. Come dot Mezza. You're not coming out alone. You're coming out with East Africa. He said. When you come out, strengthen your breathren Nigeria, your victories are victory. Oh La Bla cos Katara Kenya. Your victory is Nigeria's victory. When you have come out strength. He's not a man, you're personable. That when the woman had come out, righteousness continued walking and farm blind. Batamayas didn't leave him on the ground. Founds A Kias didn't leave him in the house. That way, He said, Salvation has come to this house. When salvation came to the house, generosity came to his house. When the holy ghosts had come upon them. The people gave until none of them had neat. Listen to me, Kingdom of God. The days of people are passing personal wealth until they don't know what to do with it have come to an end. Righteousness exhausts a nation. When the righteous eye authority, the people. Rejoice, which means. Your days of walking into town and people look down have come to an end. When you walk into town, they shall be rejoicing because people will know if Mama Funke is in town, it means food has come. They'll be looking at apostle salmon and say it he has entered town. Not only is he teaching, he is also doing calabarados Katar. God wants to exalt the nations through the church. Jesus began to teach. And to do fast. Poge said that church in Africa longer poor, but the people in the churches are still poor. We have a picture of what it's supposed to be, but we have not yet fully grasped it. The Holy Spirit wants to make a demonstration that The next time you come to Kenya, you'll be asking where are the poor people? And we will say they're not here anymore. The next time we come to Atlanta, Mayor, we'll be asking where are Where are the poor people, You'll. Say, not here. The church. The Church came into town. That when they see the righteous, they shall be rejoicing. That when we see Nathaniel Bassi grow in Nigeria. We're rejoicing about him in Kenya. Because the unity of that church is going to be that your victory is our victory. No individualism will make it in the next dimension. I tell you we break the spirit of individualism. Solo rangers thinking you can do this thing alone. No, Jesus began to teach. And to do. Lift up your hands, Lord, we give you glory han On. We lift our hands in worship. We exalt your holy name. Lord, we give you glom. Real you are. You are the bay. You're the man called sir. No like you. Here is no one else spit no one. You're gray. You're the b. B. Barry. Come on to bos hands under the motion. No you are, you are Gray, You're the be. God Father. The words, the words you gave me the words you gave me, I have given them. Let these words, Let these words become fortified in the hearts of your children, that they may begin to teach. And to do in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Amen.
