THE GRACE THE APACITY TO LASTLONGEVITY OF IMPACT WITH APOSTLE

Hallelujah, hallelujah, streams of joy. Can you give Jesus a big hand clap of praise? Glory be to Jesus. Hallelujah, a man, good evening, Abbia state, good evening, streams of joy, good evening, victorious people, A man passa jerry, thank you, thank you, and your dear wife. Pastor, hallelujah, praise the name of the Lord. Let me just take one minute from my time and express commendation over you know the appreciation that happened here. Now, If you're not in ministry, and if you've not tasted of the victory that comes with putting the world of God to work, you will never know the value of being appreciated like this. Allelujah. It is usual for people to persecute their saviors from Jesus and all through modern history. If you're a student of history, you see that now. It is difficult to find people genuinely, non pretentiously celebrate victory. The people Jesus was going to die for were the ones who killed him. It just so happens that he's dying was profitable. If his dying was not part of his assignment, it w have still been a loss. It's not that he died it was in prophecy, but that he died out of a man's wickedness. So when you find a people, I must commend those pastors because they are ministers. Too in their own capacity. Please allow me just for a moment, past Jerry, I hope you don't mind, just to say a word. It is something that we must learn. This is one of the rarest By the grace of God. I've been in this business for a few years. I've seen all kinds of things. It takes a lot of security, it takes a lot of godliness, and it takes humility of heart for pastors to stand in mass behind camera that the whole world will see them, to honor their brother, to say we will not despise our own I think for me it just made this state and the ministers, and dear to my heart on behalf of the Man of God and all who loved Jesus. Let me say thank you to the pastors. And I pray, I pray, I pray that many many other parts of the East and many other parts in. This nation will be able to model this. First and foremost, there's nothing you can. Do about a man who God has lifted. But two, you cannot step into a dimension you resent. Number three. When God raises a man, it's not for himself, it's for everyone. So when you fight that person, you are in partnership with the devil to destroy your own destiny. His destiny is already made. That's why he's being used. Honestly, I'm saying it again, and this is not a man of God patronizing by the messes of God. I've been in ministry for a few years. At this point in my life, I've outgrown playing politics. My heart is for Jesus, and when I see what looks like him and the way he acts, I will talk about it. This right here is a model for many people to learn. Hallelujah. Number two. For those of you whom I be uncomfortable with this display of lavish on on a man, let me tell you this that you'll be learning tonight when you find people who win by righteousness and win consistently. It is a testimonial of discipline, endurance, away together walking the parts of the spirit, and the Bible says that they that rule well should be counted for double honor. And so I'm saying thank you again for not rejecting your own. Don't allow another region or another part of the world. Celebrate the gift that God has given you. Within the East. He may not be the only one, but is a significant one among many. Please celebrate us Jerry again and his dear wife, and you may be seated, Apposablepi, God bless you. Was so good to see you. Can you imagine we didn't meet in Abuja and we're now meeting in Huma. Heir, God bless you. Please be seated everybody. Thank you for the honor and the opportunity given to me to bring the world of God. Have been blessed already, really blessed already. Let's see how far God will help us within the time that we have. It. Truly is a privilege for me. To make contributions as far as building God's people is concerned. And I'm hoping that the things will be sharing in addition to all that you have heard and all that you'll be hearing will build you up. Conferences like these are largely word encounters. That means that God, through the teaching of the world, upgrades our spiritual understanding. He helps us to come into a level. Of mastery as far as understanding the things of the kingdom are concerned. Conferences like this help to shapen our understanding, to build us, to impart us, to empower us. Indeed, so that we'll run in the name of Jesus, I decree and declare that the keys you'll be receiving tonight, in addition to all that you have received, will make you a finisher in the name of Jesus Christ. Hallelujah, Praise the name of Jesus. As believers, we are being called to leave a victorious life. The Bible is clear as to the fact that God designed our work and our sojourn upon the earth to be laced with dominion and victory. And He not only gave us the call and the assignment, he also gave us the resources that equip us to work in dominion. In John chapter fifteen, when you read from verse eight, he says, fifteen and verse eight, can you give it to us media, let's work with kjv allelujah. John chapter fifteen and verse eight. Here in is my Father glorified that ye bear much fruit. Someone say much fruit, he says, so shall ye be my disciples. Verse sixteen of the same John fifteen. He says, you have not chosen me, but I have chosen you and ordained you. The word ordained means legitimize your operation, that you should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit will remain. So we have been not deigned to live a victorious life. The Bible is clear as to the fact that our victory brings glory to the name of the Lord. The Bible says we are His workmanship. Efficients to understand recreated in Christ, were together who onto good works, and that God had preordained that we should work in them. For any man's vision to speak, let me start on this. There are five elements that must be present for any vision, more so a ministerial vision of this sort to speak. Number one, there must be a mandate, a distinct mandate from God. We have a general assignment, as believe us, the Great commission we call it. But within that great commission there are distinct assignments. And not everybody may have a call of this sort. But there are many people whose calling and fulfillment is within the call of another person. But generally speaking, it's important to have a distinct message. Number two, you must have a divinely revealed strategy for driving that vision. It is dangerous to have a correct vision and invent your own strategy. Every time God desires to use a man, use a people, he not only gives you a prophetic word. He not only gives you a vision, he gives you his strategy. Most times, great visions fail, and I'm saying this as a preamble very quickly. Great visions fail because the vision is correct, but the strategy is usually not divine. Most times we don't stay enough to receive the strategy. As soon as we receive the prophecy, then we run and then use our own strategy. So Joshua knows he's to bring Jericho down, but he had a of options. One of it, the usual one was to fight. But he had to wait to ask how will I bring them down? And said, no, no, no, this is not a battle of swords and spares. You're going to go around Jericho once every day, and then on the seventh day you will go seven times the priests bearing the act, and they will shout and the mountain will come, I mean, Jericho will go down. So most times believers try to use you know, let me tell you this. The strategy that executes the prophecy you are giving is as powerful as the prophecy itself. You can have a clear prophetic word from God, but what becomes your edge in terms of victory is the ability to stay until you receive the winning strategy. Else you will be experimenting a lot of man made strategies. For an example, what you see happening in Streams of Joy the Prayer Platform mens PPD The Life of Passageria and his Wife. The edge is a strategy that came by the spirit Away together now, and he's able to do it in a way that made him distinct Away together, and he's able to serve the grace of God with excellence. So you need a mandate. You need a strategy. Number three, you need a platform. You can have a great vision, you can have a great strategy, but you need a platform. A platform allows. You to be able to serve the grace that God has committed to you without hindrance. A platform. Number four, you need resources. And of these resources there are two kinds. The greater are human resources and then material resources. In fact, it is the presence of the human resources that guarantee the arrival of material resources. If you have. Money and you don't have men. You are poor. Let me pray a prayer for you. I always pray for my people. May you never be so poor that all you have is money in the name of Jesus Christ, because the Bible says in the multitude of men is a king's honor. Go to the hospital and you see many things money cannot do. Are we together now? So when God wants to help a man, he brings human resources, and then of course material resources, and then the fifth and that will give way to my discussion tonight. Divine backing. Five elements one A distinct mandate, a distinct message, two, a divinely revealed strategy number three, a platform number four resources five divine backing. This is where the robber hits the road. There must be an evidence upon your life that God sent you. There must be an evidence upon your life, no matter even if you have all these four. If you do not have that backing, you will be frustrated. I like the scriptures en led us to pray. Before I came up. It says, by you, I have run through a troop, And by my God, do you know what it means to run through a troop? A troop is not men. A troop is men who are equipped. And now a. Single person runs through a troop. And then it says, by my God, I have leaped over a wall. These are the possibilities that only come when God is with a man. I pray for you in Jesus' name from today to be clear without mistaking that the hand of God is upon your life. It will be clear that God is with you. Nico Dimos came to Jesus by night. Please sit in John chapter three, and he said, Rabbi Ver's one, it says, we know that now at a teacher come from God. It says, for no man verse two can do this mirror which thou dost, except God be with him. There are results that men can produce. There are results that only God can produce in a man. And when you find certain possibilities activated in the life of men, it is an attestation that God is with them. At ten thirty eight says how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth. Isn't it amazing that Jesus had to be anointed with the Holy Ghost and with power? Then he went about doing good, healing all day that were oppressed. He says, for God was with him. Allelujah, Praise the. Name of the Lord. All right, so let's go to a discussion tonight. We work within the time that is available and will see how God will help us. In the name of Jesus, the Holy Ghost quickened in me something that I don't teach very often, but I think it's very relevant, particularly for this conference, and this has to do with the dynamics of longevity. I'm going to be talking. I'll give you the topic, but I'm going to be talking. My emphasis tonight will be the skill to remain, the grace, the capacity to last long, gravity of impact. I found out in my little experience, my work with God and the brief time in ministry that number one, it takes vision to start. Number two, it takes discipline to continue. But number three, it takes messy to finish. Hm. It takes vision and maybe motivation to start, it takes. Discipline to continue. But honestly, when. The stakes are down, it is not a formula that finishes. It is a messy of God. I've seen people who got it all wrong and strangely they finished. I've seen people who got it all right, and strangely they didn't finish. It is at this point that both the lear need and your learnt. It is at this point that both the gifted are not so gifted. We all tremble before his presence when. It has to do with the business of finishing. We are products of his messy. Albeit there are principles that can guide a man and can help you to finish strong. And I want to show you a few of these principles in the message. I title the Grace to Last, the Grace to last two scriptures very quickly. And then the Lord will help us tonight. If you're learning already, say amen, allelujah Hebrews chapter twelve. Who look at one and two, then will go to First Corinthians chapter nine. Your grace, your grace, have nothing without you, grace, Your grace shines on me. It's your grace, your grace, and everything with you. Your grace, your grace shine on me. Hebrews twelve, verse one. Wherefore, now follow Paul's discussion, seeing that we are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, on the basis of this that there are witnesses, those who have gone before us, those who are here among us, because we are surrounded it. Let us lay aside every weight and the scene that dot easily beset us. And then he says, let us run with patience or perseverance the race that is set before us. Then he gives us a strategy, and the name of that strategy is looking onto Jesus. It's a strategy for winning. Looking onto Jesus is not just a description to look up. He's telling you the name of the strategy that guarantees that you finish looking onto Jesus, the author and the finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him, he endured the cross, despised the shame, and he sat down at the right hand of God, at the throne of God, the Lord bless the reading of his word. Second Scripture, just one for sake of time, First Corinthians, Chapter nine and verse twenty four. I like Paul, I like his understanding, it says. Now, he says, know ye not that day which run in a race run all. But one received the prize. He says, are you not aware that when you see people running, for instance, in an Olympic or a marathon, how many of you know that in a marathon there are people who did not intend to finish. They just wanted to enjoy the experience. So they're not offended if they don't expect an award. Right from beginning, they just wanted to participate. And there's not it wrong. That was their goal to fail. I went together, and then the Bible says that all wrong, but one. Received a price. Then he says, so ron that you may obtain, So Ron that you may obtain. Life and destiny is likened to a race. Now, there are three things that the Bible likens life to. Number one to a fight. Number two a race. Paul says, I have fought the fight. I have kept the faith. I have finished the race. You see that now, So he calls life a fight. He calls it a race, and it calls it a treasure that a man can keep. I've finished my cause anyway. So life is likened to running a race, and the Bible man dates that we run so that we're able to finish. And for many many people, they start well. We all start well in various ways, but unfortunately as we progress. These are keys that I have seen and studied from scripture number two. These are keys I have seen from the lives of those who have gone before us, and honestly, their lives have been. An inspiration enough for us to draw from. You know, transformation works on a two dimensional formula. Maybe I should say it. Yeah. Anytime you want to change, anytime you want to evolve, there are two strategies according to scripture. Number one's looking onto Jesus. Number two is follow them. These are the two ways we change. One we look onto Jesus by revelation, by the word, we are changed. Number two, we become followers of them who, through faith and patience have obtained a promise. Transformation is difficult without a reference. You cannot become nothing. There has to be a reference. Even if you intend to surpass that reference, you have to get there first then you can. Are we together now praise God? And so we're going to look through the mirror of scripture and find out why people do not last in ministry in life. In fact, this is not even just a talk of ministry in destiny. It's a terrible thing to have a better yesterday than your tomorrow. It's inconsistent with the way God designed men. The Bible says about the path of the just is as a shining light that shines more and more. Someone prophesies, say more and more? Is that how much you love your destiny? Say more and more? He said, the path of the jost is as a shining light, meaning my yesterday should never. Be better than my tomorrow. We live in a world where you hear people talk a lot about yesterday. They talk about the God of yesterday. And I don't say this with a critical spirit. It is amazing how people talk about the miracles of yesterday, what God did yesterday, when they were in politics yesterday, when they were good yesterday. No, sir, it should not be so. Paul said, this one thing I do forgetting the things that are behind and reaching for there is always something before you. It doesn't matter whether the thing behind is good or bad. He didn't say forgetting bad things. Good days should always be in front, forgetting the things that are behind and reaching forth for the things that are before me. I like the word he uses. I press, I press, not I move, I press, come on, I press towards the mark of the high calling in Christ Jesus. Growing up you know from you know, I had the honor of growing up in the middle Belt, the north really, and I saw great people and with great admirations. Some of them are still alive. But I found out that people start and fail in their lifetime. I saw people fail politically. I saw both crowns and scars on the same person. I saw people rejoice and became an object of mockery, and I said, no, this, this should not be. I saw people made money and lose money in their lifetime. I saw people do well and. Then scat out everything they did again where. The passed us. I said, no, there has to be a way out of this. So I want to show you very briefly, and I tell you this. If you do not understand and this key, you will not last. And you see the truth about it is that vision creates blindness. This is something people do not know. To be visionary means you cannot see everything. And it is because of vision many people fail. Sometimes it is not if I'm looking here, because I'm focused, I can't see what is behind me. It's one of the reasons why people fail. So if you're a visionary person, you want to listen to what I have to tell you. Now. I pray that God will grant us grace. If someone learning already, let me lead it to a confession. This ministry that understands the power of confession, we do say in the name of Jesus, said like you believe, saying the name of Jesus, I will start, I will continue, and I will finish. You are saying this to your destiny, saying the name of. Jesus, I receive the grace to start, the grace to continue, the grace to finish. One more time, I receive. The grace to start, the grace to continue, the grace to finish. Turn it to prayer. In one minute, I will not start, and then not have capacity to continue, and I will not continue, And then I bought destiny. Shapran tapas care, get a leg a pa. Someone go ahead and pray the grace to start. In ministry, in destiny, the grace to continue, the grace to finish, the grace to last. In Jesus' name, we pray, please be seated, Please be seated. How many of you know that from a biological standpoint, when a woman takes in and tells you I'm pregnant, you celebrate her. But that's the beginning of a long journey. Am I right on that? Now? God forbid and not to play with your minds. Let's assume that she loses the baby in two months. Do you call it delivery? No, there's another name for it. It's not called delivery. Why because it did not finish its course? They don't get that now. Yes, the dynamics of receiving the seed is different from the dynamics of the entire period of pregnancy. And then at the point of delivery there is another skill. Again, starting requires its own skill continuing. Do you see the truly question The easiest part of it is starting. In fact, starting seems to be the most pleasurable part. But continuing. Have you seen a pregnant woman and the alterations that happens were appetite, and yet she has to continue? Are we together now? And then finishing? There are people who continue but because there was carelessness, something affected them, or what was born or both. Them, or what. Was born that you carry something for nine months, but simply because there was an alteration, you were not able to give bed again. I pray for you the grace to start, the grace to continue, and the grace to finish. I release it upon you in the name of Jesus. Key number one, the first key that I present to you as a submission. Ready, be strong in the Lord. If you want to last, if you want to finish, you must know how to draw strength from God. Efficient chapter six and verse ten, it says, finally, brethren, be strong, not in yourself, be strong in the Lord. I like the amplified rendition. I wish we could have it displayed. Now. Look what Amplified says. In conclusion, It says, be strong in the Lord. Draw your strength from Him and be empowered through your union with Him and in the power of his boundless man. Right, be strong in the Lord. It takes strength, ladies and gentlemen, and that strength is derived from knowing God. This strength I'm talking about is a direct product of investing your life to know God. The God you know is the God you reveal to your generation. You cannot reveal it foreign God. No, our generation is not waiting for the revelation of a theoretical God. The Bible says in Daniel eleventh thirty to the bee part. But the people, it didn't say the people that know God. He said, the people that know dear God. If you are an idol worshiper, know your God. If you are whatever, know your God. The prophets of Bell knew their God. Unfortunately he disappointed them when they needed him most. But Elijah also knew his God, and upon that strength he told them, do whatever you do, I will allow you from morning till the time of the evening sacrifice. The people that know their God, he say, let me tell you this confidence in this kingdom is derived from a functional relationship with God. Attempting to serve with theoretical God to a generation will leave you disappointed. I like what the apostle said, he said, but I know whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he's able to keep that which is committed onto him. He does not keep what is available, He keeps what is committed to him. Jesus said in John chapter seventeen. All you have given me, I have kept, and none is lost. You have given me and I have kept. There are many people who have not seen the value of. God's presence, many people who have not seen the value of investing time with God. The secret to intimacy is time. Time, not intention, not desire. Desire must march with time. We live in a generation that. Is very busy. Can I tell you, and I please don't feel insulted. But I can tell you this. One of the benefits of working with God is that it to prove your activities by bringing accuracy to your life. There are many things that we do that are proof that we're not working circumspectully. I don't have the time to work that scripture with you, but if you read Efficiency five, the Bible says, work circumspectfully as wise and not as on wise, redeeming the time because the days are evil. You know how you redeem time by knowing what the will of God is early, so that you don't shadow box and return back. The Bible says, the quick are you not the will of God? You work in the will of God, and you will not have to reverse again, because if you go against God's will, by the time he wants to work with you, no matter how far you've gone, you must return back again. So the Bible says, you waste time by doing so. The value of God's presence, investing in God's presence. Investing to know God. Please listen to me. It's not just a business for preachers and men of God and those calling too ministry. No, like the fish needs water, like the birds need the tree, and the air away together. Man was designed to find his relevance in the presence of God. There are treasures that come from his presence. The treasure of wisdom, the treasure of favor, the treasure of utterance, the treasure of direction, the treasure of accuracy and specificity. That's what you miss when you miss his presence. I tell you this one of the greatest points of distraction. I hope you know that sometimes trouble comes because of increase. And growth away together. The more God lifts you, you move from a man of God. Let me use ministry for an example, and you become an administrator. Very legitimately. Satan does not have to use evil to attack you. He will use anything provided it to distract you. He uses any weapon, including what God gave you. All he wants is that it becomes God in your life, or. It distracts you away from His presence. Who is learning now. You must learn to know his presence. You must learn to stay and grow and build. Many of the things we look for can only be found in His presence. I can tell you this. Many of the things we look for. You cannot buy favor in any market. No, it is not sold on earth. It's a resource that works on earth. What is outsourced beyond this rem People don't just like you because you want them to like you, he said, because of the ointment. So do the virgins love me. There is something on you that causes men to love you. Intention is not enough. Who is learning now? Be strong or you must draw that strength from a functional knowledge. It says, the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. It says the. Knowledge of the Holy that is understanding. Ladies and gentlemen, God can be known, and if you pay the price. Perhaps I'm speaking to someone who is just starting ministry. It's wonderful to admire those who have gone ahead. But I tell you this, the greatest way. To be known is to know Him hide. The more you know Him, the more you will know yourself. You publicize yourself by remaining in. The secret place. That's how you are known. There are many people who will I mean the practice of God's presence is something that is generally gradually being eroded from our generation, and it must be restored. Is the key to power, is the key to grace. God will tell you something in the secret. Can I tell you this when it has to do with the secret place is a lovers affair. And there are things that God would take us someone else's prayer point and give you us a gift tokens of his presence, tokens of his presence. There must be an evidence and evidence of his presence. Not just I thank God for encounters. What you must learn to stay stay. Encounters are powerful, they leave a mark, but I'm not I'm talking about the he that dwells dimension, not he that visits, He that dwells in the secret place of. The most high. To dwell is the word that is translated in English marinate. Women will understand this the art of marination. You know that you know what. So when you want what is outside the source to get into the protein, you live it there and closet and drop it there. Ah, show me a man who knows how to stay. You stay till wisdom comes, while of the of that is you are not even aware. You stay till fire comes. The intention was not fire. The intention wisdom can be an idol, favor can be an idol. Where you get to his presence is not what he gives, It is him. Then you get the tokens of his presence. Many people get into his presence, fasting and praying, and what they want is power. What they want is wisdom. I'm not against that, but you will never find it until you find him. He is not power, he is not wisdom. He gives power to the faint. Does any man luck wisdom? You can come. But let me tell you this. God is raising men who want him, not what he gives. What he gives who is learning? Now? I show you how to last. I show you how to last. The moment his presence becomes secondary. In your life and you focus on the tokens of. His presence simply because you've seen the economic value of having those things, you will not go far. And you can know a man that has stayed in the presence. I'm calling on someone. Don't just admire the tokens of his presence. You must love him, you must want him. Imagine that I come to your house and all I'm concerned about is your kitchen or you're safe. I'm not really interested in you. The reason why I knocked was because I'm hoping by you opening the door. I get to your kitchen, and I get to your kitchen and I'm eating burghers and everything. Once I'm done. I belt and hits my stomach and say it's. Nice seeing you. Then I come again. No, sir, but how many of you know there are times you can be so close to. Someone without him asking you buy. I can't give him. You will buy things and give him. They are called tokens of intimacy. This is the realm. I want someone to step into. Worshipers, step into it, Minister, step into it. No, don't you use his presence. Stay there till you are built someone learning. If this is the only thing I say and I stop, I will live here fulfilled his presence. There are many things today, by the messy of God, that we have seen. In our lives that we are not part of. Our requests when we got there. We are grateful and honestly. Sometimes shocked that God can. Go so far to show you how much he loves you. It is him, not eat him, not eat is strong. Your destiny will test you many times. When David stood before golat So looked at him and said, you want to fight this man. You are a young teenager, and he said, King, I respect you, but my confidence is not from here. I know. I know. The BA says, whose son are you. When he now stood. Before Goliad, Colad said, Israel, am I a dog? You bring this little boy to fight me. I'm a veteran, I'm a giant. I'm a warrior. And David looked at him with audacity that only the knowledge of God brings. He says, you come against me with your bowes, you come against me with your spairs. But I come against you in a name, a name. I will use this sling, as ordinary as it is. I will throw you down and use your own sword. Remove your head and give it to the birds. There is a way you speak when you have met him. There is a way you cannot speak if you. Have not met him. Take it. Care for me. You're all want You're all. I want to hold you close to me. You're all I want, your ally, your kingdoms, my heart cry, your prayer senses, my wond is are. Your prayers sensus, my wonder sir, your prayers sensus, My wondas are. Your prayer senses. My wand is. Your glory is my wonder is? Are your glory? Is my wonder? Are your glory? Is my wonders? Are your glory? Is my wand is. Quino my two. Let's hurry up. Something is going to happen in this place. I sense in my heart. I sense in my heart that there is a drink. There is a drinking, There is a pouring of the spirit. A stream is flowing in this place. Streme is flowing. There is a river that flows from the Throne of God. It makes glad the city of God. Allelujah. Number two. The second key if you want to last, is you must submit to the supremacy of the Word of God as final authority in your life. In every and all matters. You must submit to the supremacy of the Word of God as final authority in every and all matters. Let me tell you this, there is no last thing for a man who will mix the world and certain or the other things. Maybe with all you respect culture, opinions of men, popular opinions, you must submit to the super primacy of the World of God as final authority above visions, above dreams, above prophecies, above gifts. It is written, is greater than I saw. It is written, is greater than I heard I saw. Has misled people I have? Are we together? When Satan came to Jesus, the word Jesus did not. Say I came from heaven. He said, it is written. The secret of longevity is when you build upon that rock. Ladies and gentlemen, let. Me tell you, no matter how charismatic, no matter how great, if your life is not anchored on scripture. When I came in here and I saw you being let. From scripture to scripture to confession, my heart was glad. I said, this vision will. Stand, not just because of the dexterity of the man piloting this sheep, but because it was built on rock. There's a level God helps you in ministry where you've seen all kinds of things, there are a few things that really impress you. The words are the world. It is not what I want. It is not what they say. And men can bully you into disalignment with all kinds of opinion. This is how we do it. This is how it is done. I appreciate you, but the way the Bible says forever, Oh Lord, who is learning now? Yes, or there's a formula like this, it brings results quicker. I respect you, but if it is not founded on the world, I'm not interested. It's as simple and as honest as that. Most people drive their lives using different kinds of platforms and wonder. That they fail. The longevity factor in any man's life is the Word of God. The richer the Word of God in your life, and the more you sob meets to the world, submitting to the world, allowing it to inference your thinking, allowing it to inference your behavior, allowing it to inference your decisions. Your decisions must be founded. By the Word of God, and sometimes as leaders, the pressure of administration, the pressure of there are times you need say, yes, everybody waits, thank God for expertise, Well let's go to the Bible. I respect opinions of expertise, I respect professionalism, but there are times that have landed my experience. Like Peter, you can have the. Right boat, the right fishing net, the right skill, the right place, and you see not catch fish. At that point. Only the Word of God can bail you out. There are times these things fail. The Bible says, in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was with God. In the beginning. The Bible says, all things were made by Him and without him. Outside of his participation. Anything made that was made the Word of God Collosians one sixteen. The Word of God give us Colosians one sixteen. Let me walk with the time I have for by him the world where all things created? How many things? If it created all things, I think it can create my destiny. I think it can create my tomorrow. The Word of God is a proven raw material. It's to the test of time. The Word of God, the Word of God. When I talk about the Word of God, I'm talking of three things. One, I'm talking of the doctrine of scripture. Number two, I'm talking about the principles of scripture, the mudus operandi of the kingdom I went together. When we talk about the Word of God, let's not be vake about it. Number One, we're talking about the doctrine of scripture. The Bible called it the Apostles doctrine. It comes from the Latin word doc trina, the Greek is die dascalia. It's a body of knowledge that makes it disciple to become like his Master. They continued in the Apostles doctrine in fellowship, breaking of bread, and in prayers as chapter six and verse four. But we will give ourselves continuality to prayer and the ministry of the world. Preachers, please, let's get back to the. World of God. Many people do not read their Bibles. Who can read to preach? You are not growing, sir, You are not growing, sir. You need to stay and. That from a child thou hast known the Holy Scripture, which is able to make you wise onto Salvation Acts twenty thirty two. And now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the world of his grace, which is able to build you up and then to give you an inheritance among them that are sanctified. The major assignment of men of God is to open your eyes so that you will see, to feed you with knowledge, and to feed you with understanding who is learning. If you want to last, you have to go back and check what your life is built on. I respect visions, I respect prophecies, but let me tell you this, the imagine of error contained in these dimensions you have no idea. There are many people whose life were built by I said I saw, and was still destroyed by I said I saw. We don't desprise prophets signs, but the word of God has been tried. The prophecy of scripture is solid. It will last you I tell you, when all the dost settles down, you'll see the standing. Please stand on the world. If the Word says love, just love, don't create your own option. If the Word of God says, give, give, If the Word of God says, the Word says, let the redeemed of Lord. Talk to me again. Talk to me again. If you don't speak because you think it's too embarrassing, I assure you you will not finish Ah. Because he came. He revealed himself. Though. The first way to function like God is to speak like God. That's the first thing he did in the Bible. You are not like God if you don't. The Bible did not say, and God talked, he says, and God so Joshua Salman Moss, so streams of joy. Moss, talk to me. There are four ways you can engage scripture. One studied, two speak it. Three He eight. You see that it's very important. Meditate on it. Joshua, Chapter one. Verse eight. The formula. He says, this book of the Law shall not depart from out of your mouth, but you shall meditate. During their night. The dawn mayors observed to do the power to do comes from knowing, from staying there is an engracing that your interaction with the Word of God brings to your life. It's called the doing grace. You don't get the doing grace if you don't stay with the world who is learning. Please sit down. Let me see if I can do two more before we pray. Number one, be strong in the Lord. Draw your strength from the wealth the richness of your relationship with him. Let him mean everything to you. Number two, you must submit to the supremacy. Of the world of God. Times will change, opinions will come and go, formulas. Will come and go. Men are Historically men have been about the most arrogant specie of God's creation. They will show up and try to show you away and downplay the world, then last for a few years and crash. The things that are written a full time. They are written for our learning, so that we do patience and comfort of scripture might fine. Hope the world will walk, sir, Stay there and win there. It may take time, it may be slower, but I assure you will never have to go back again. Stay there. If the world cannot build your finances, nothing else will build it. It will only be balloon success. If you try any other thing If the word of God does not build your influence, there can be other formulas. No, sir, no sir, nevertheless, a foundation of the Lord's standard show having decealed. The word of God. Number three, have about eight, but maybe I'll just give you four a ready. Always keep the vision of your future or your destination before you. Always keep the vision of your future or your. Destination before you. Philippian Chapter three, hundreds thirteen. You cannot arrive looking back, remember Lot's wife. Nobody goes forward by consistently looking back? Are we together? Bredred? I count myself, not myself to have apprehended, But this one thing I do forgetting those things. Which are behind. Please look at me a man who cannot forget yesterday. By forgetting it does not mean wipe it out of your memory. It means break its influence. Over your capacity to move forward. Let me tell you this. It is at this point I can tell. You both success and failure can do the same thing to you. Success can make you complacant. Success can push you to the edge of compromise. Failure can discourage you. So Ultimately, both success and failure can destroy you. You must know how to manage them. He says, this one thing I do. It's a skill. To forget the things that are behind you know asy as a principle, no matter what God does in my life. After I'm back, it's over. Once I kneel before him and I said, Lord, I thank you. Let the text messages keep coming, Let everything keep coming. I have trained myself the moment I say. Thank you, that event is over. What is the next? This is how champions win. Some of us, the reason why your last success was why you started failing. You succeeded so much. You stop succeeding because you held onto yesterday while wanting to go to tomorrow. For someone you have celebrated yesterday too much, it's time to cut away and move forward. And for someone who all blame yourself and beat yourself down too much, it's time to cut away and move forward. The Bible says, this one thing I do forgetting the things it is a bad things, forgetting the crowns, forgetting that you want yesterday, forgetting that you healed the sick yesterday, or forgetting that they were not here yesterday. Once it is in my yesterday, thank you. I've received enough encouragement, But that's it. I need to look forward. If any man draws back, my soul will not find pleasure in him. The Bible says, remember Lot's wife. It's one of the reasons why in Africa we don't have third fourth generation. Not many things at third food generation. You know why, because we celebrate success to a point of flattery. There is a healthy motivation that comes from yesterday. Once you receive it, it's like a dose it. It's enough. Yesterday blesses you. Like salt in food. There is a quantity that is just enough. Once you over put it, it now ends up destroying you. It someone learning. Thank God, your last prophecy was accurate. But it's time to move forward. I'm sorry that your last healing did not happen. Well, it's time to move forward. I know the business failed. It's time to move forward. I know the business succeeded. It's time to move forward. Someone say, Father, I go forward by your power. I go forward in the name of Jesus. You know one thing I've learnt in life place it no body claps for you for the same level twice. Once you have received the applauds for a level, it is finished. Look at me, who is clapping for me for walking. Now, No, I received that as a baby. My first step was the one that was deserving of an applaud. After that it becomes natural. But when you fly, that's a new experience. Some of you, you have been crawling. We clap for you, but we are tired of clapping for you that you are crawling. Start walking, then you will get another measure of apploads. For some you are being working. My goodness, you have been walking. Working has tuck you in the traffic of life. It's time to start flying. You see where you are flying. You don't worry about mountains, you don't worry about valleys, you don't worry about seas. All those things happen where you are, where you are driving. In the name of Jesus, the grace to fly, to fly like the eagle, the grace to surpass yesterday's dimension. I impass that grace upon you. Allelujah. Someone learning beware of yesterday. Yesterday is very jealous. It always wants to relieve itself in your today. You must know when to wave it goodbye and insist that it wastes you goodbye. Who is learning? You must keep your vision before for you this is where God is taking us as a ministry. This is where God is taking me. Oh you are doing so well. Thank you. I really appreciate I'm grateful. Oh you are stupid. Thank you. I appreciate you. I'm facing forward towards the MAC. Towards the MAC. I think you are wrong, no problem. The one I'm meeting would tell me if I'm wrong or not, It's okay. Are we together? Let me tell you this. If you do not have the power to grow up both distractions, you will not finish. Sometimes some of us for four years. Now you stop running, and you are trying to explain to people that you are running. Well, ninety percent of those who distract you already know the truth. Don't waste your time. Don't waste your time, sir, don't waste your time. Someone is growing a thick skin from this conference. I was told that a man I gave a popular story as a Jerry, a man who was trying to climb, you know, climb a very high a paltry or something, and people were trying to talk him down, and he looked at them and he was smiling. He kept climbing. They were trying to talk him down. He was, He kept climbing. At the end of it, he got, you know, to the top, and everybody the people now started clapping. And when he came there, they were talking to him. They now discovered he was deaf. That was why he finished. So he thought they insulting him. Was in continue and he kept on. The Bible said he who has an ear, meaning you have the power to open that ear or close it. I can open to certain people and close certain things. Who is learning now? Can I tell you this? Stop feeling guilty for being visionary. You don't owe people explanations. You're here and there. Let me come on now, no set. Your vision before you obtain. Grace from God. Fire not for cylinders. Someone fires come into your bones. It's time to rise, It's time to move, It's time to press as a man of God. There is much to be done for the kingdom, much to be done for the kingdom. Honestly speaking, I look at my life today and I tell myself, compared to where I'm going, I'm only one step out of the cave. And I really mean it. I really mean it. I really mean it. I promise to give you one or two more my goodness. Someone you are going forward. Keep your vision before you, keep your vision before you. What did he tell you? What did he show you? Now you see vision sometimes can have emotional and psychological wear and tear. That's why retreats are powerful. Sometimes you need to run away from people, including friends. Friends can love you so much that will let you be with God. Sometimes you need to say you know. Abraham went with his child, but when he got at the base, he said, wait here. The savants would have loved him too much to allow him to Isaac. He said, wait here, let your love not stop my obedience. No, wait here, I will come down and tell you the fruit of my obedience. We went together, we were classmates. Well wait here. From this point up, I'm not sure I love you, I need you, But this level of obedience demands my staying with God. Someone. I release upon you the grace, even if it means moving alone, the grace to go, the grace to go, the grace to go, The grace to move is time to take steps, incremental steps to your destiny. No man, whatever may come my way, how fall, how fall our fall? Our FALLO? No man, whatever may come my way, how far, how far our fall, our fall? No mad. Whatever may come my way our. Fall, he will stand out at seven, said lo I come in the volume of the book. Vision. That was why I told you to celebrate the man of God for consistency. It takes vision. The devil will okay straight people every day to distract you. You must have the stamina. This is where I'm going. I've set my eyes on the sail God that's given me the match in order. I know it's my season. No power will stop me, even if it means to work on water, no problem, I know. Listen. Let me tell you this. When Jesus was with Peter and they thought you was his spirit, they said, if it be dow pit me come and he said come. He never said Peter come, because that. Statement did not end with Peter alone. What he told Peter. If he said Peter come, if I take that step, it to be disobedience because my name is not Peter. But he said come today to be Joshua sellman, business man. I know you came from a family where no one has done anything, but come, stand up, get out of that boat, walk on water. The miracle follows. It doesn't go before the miracle follows. There are no. Guarantees in life, your guarantees. The God who sends you, he said, when I send you luck, hast dout anything I'm promisign To someone who is obsessed with guarantees, you will never, never, never find any guarantee anywhere you're guarantee. The God who sent you your guarantees, the word he gave you, your guarantees, the vision he put before you, set your vision before you. Let me tell you this. Please look up. I hope I'm not wasting your time. My apologists perssengery. The time is up. I will work with the time. Listen. Anybody who flies or drives knows that for ninety to ninety five percent of the time, you never see where you're going. If you are driving from here to a buja, for ninety five percent of the journey, you'll never see a buja, but you. Know you are going there. If after seven hours you say, look, i'm tired, you are going right for someone. I came to tell you what you are doing is right. Just because you are not there yet, don't talk. You are almost there. The prayer is right. The first thing is right. I came to speak to you. I came to place grace on your head. The prayer is right, the consecration is right. The vision speaks at the end. Don't stop. Don't stop. Just because it is not. Speaking now does not mean you are wrong. Keep pray, keep studying, keep giving. Let them love while you pray. Let them love while you study. Hear me, Man of God. Keep learning. Don't be ashamed of learning. You may not see wind, you may not see rain, but you keep walking. I assure your value will be filled with water. Can I tell you this? Listen, Oh goodness, I wish I had the time to walk this. There are three seasons before any man images. Number one, there is the season of preparation, and there are three things that happens in that season, discovery of God, discovery of yourself, and discovery of your assignment. Three things in that season. Number two is the season of testing and pulling. This is the season that prepares you to last. You know where you are going, but you. Don't have capacity to go there yet. And if God releases you at that point, you become a casualty. So when he calls you, he says, come follow me. God does not call you to a mission field. He calls you to himself. Then he sends you, so when you come to him, he doesn't give you an assignment. He reveals himself and breaks you, m moulds you, all the flesh that draws, the pride, everything that threshing flaw. If you escaped that season, your future. Will tell you know. In the university, you can jump a few classes and read of during an exam. In destiny, the class you miss, you will pay for it in the future. And then the first season is the season of a clearing. Look one eighty. John remained in the wilderness. He did not remain because he was wrong. There is a season, and you see every time you see people image, they don't have to do anything new. The same thing you were doing yesterday will produce great result because it is your. Season, your season, your seasons. John remained in the wilderness, but when it was his season. No devil anywhere. Are we together? Yes for someone. I sense in my spirit that like God has done for his servant, like God has done for streams of joy, you are just at the midnight of your season. I came as a prophetic midwife. I push you into that season of a caring I place grace on your head. I'm speaking to someone who is a receiver in the name of Jesus, the one who helps men, the one who raises men, the one who lives men. I pray for you. May this be your season of. Appearing, allelujah, season of appearing. Unfortunately, that is the season everybody. Knows, and so they disrespect the other two seasons, and they. Say, where did you come from. There's nobody who comes from nowhere. Just because you were not there when I was killing the lion and the bear. Don't disrespect my mastery over bringing God liar down. It took years of training alone. This right here is the reason why we honor men when they're coming to their seasons. We don't just know. In terms of human worship, we honor the staminat, the dexterity that's staying power through seasons until you sharpen your arrow, like with mastery, and then you shoot once and. You don't miss. You shoot once. The Bible says he that strives for mastery is not crowned except he strives lawfully. No body wins the Olympic by mistake. No, sir, don't disrespect mastery. It's a product of it's an aggregate of years of pain, of blood of sweat. You see why I took the time to honor the pastors who came here. We live in a world that has a growing disrespect. When they see what God is. Doing in the life of people, they trivialize it. No, No, destiny starts with the season of appearing. It is a season of discovery, the season of preparation where a man is tested and refined as gold. Let me tell you Season two is the heart that's in the life of a man because you was learning that season to live in. The silence of God. That is when God will use you, but not solve any issue in your life. You will have issues in your own life and be. Solving other people's problem. The voice will only come where you are counseling, but where you are alone is silent. The silence of God is a language's training you to walk by faith. Help that woman, please, yes, sir. The silence of God breaks your ego. It gets to a point where it's not about results again, that's what dethrones ambition and self. Please let me give you one. I have to respect your time. I hope someone is receiving something. Keep your vision before you. The next stay humble, stay humble Prohabs sixteen Hunderse eighteen. Please let's work together so that I don't and stretch a time beyond necessarily it's burning in my spirit. Pride goes before destruction, and a hotty spirit before a fall. There are three levels of pride, but I'll talk about two. There's one that is called a hoty spirit, but there is another called the pride of life. The pride of life happens only when you have results. If you don't have results, you cannot have the pride of life. You'll be a full doing that, you can be proud. But the pride of life has to do with the self glorification that comes based on the results that are now before you. And that's where the greats die. I have profound respect for great people who have mastered humility, because I know they will last. Let me tell you this, humility for the great it's not an importation. It's a science. You must create the atmosphere that keeps you. Humble, sometimes denying things you sincerely deserve, sometimes down playing on certain levels of honor so. That it will keep you. You are beating yourself, sometimes to your own detriment. You have to deploy a variety of skills, because one thing a generation cannot do is to deny results the ones producing it, and what is produced, they will celebrate it lavishly. It's up to you to work with God and manage it. And I can tell you it's very hard. It's very hard. That is what I call the cause of fame. You can't go anywhere everybody's kneeling down for prayer, even when you want. Have you seen that kind of thing? You can't take a stroll. If you take chewing gum and throw anything, somebody will carriage and place it on his head. Sometimes, that kind of life, that is a burden because it tills you. Towards becoming a god, and you don't want to be. You don't want to be on the side where God would judge you. When God gives you a thing, once it becomes an idol. Even if he's the one who gave you, you will fight it. God can't fight what he once gave you that he gave you. He watches you're stewardship over it. If he's exalted lot of all, that thing remains a blessing the day rises above him. Are you seen the reason why you should honor the great who have gained mastery. You are manager. You are assignment and managing your remaining. And the way to do it is to learn to celebrate Him for Caally, for Cali, for Cali, for Cali. I prayed and I told God, anything you give me or make out of my life, if it will demand you going out of my life to have it made, it never come because I know it would destroy me. Press the name of the Lord. The last keear I was going to give you through last was to take the advantage. Of good friends and mentorship. Please write that down so that we're close in prayer. You want to last, You cannot do it alone. You need the leverage of good friends, and you need. The leverage of mentorship. The Bible says the labor of a fool weary at every one of them, because you know not how. To go into the city. Mentorship gives you the advantage of experience, min not the pain factor. It extracts pain from wisdom and gives it to you. Mentorship provides strategic endorsement. Mentorship gives you access to distilled knowledge. And you need good friends and praying for you. May God take bad people out of your life. I pray you understand the value of this prayer from my heart. May God take away bad people from your life? How do you know a good person? One who rejoices over your success, not just one who comforts you in pain. Comfort can be a responsibility. It doesn't necessarily mean love. It can judt mean it's. Too bad that even though I hate you, I can't skip comfort you. But the one who genuinely invests in and celebrates your success these two words invests in and celebrates your success genuinely. Say good friend. We'll have to pray, so Jerry, thank you, Thank you for this great opportunity. Can I do another call? We're out of time, but can I do another call? Did you receive anything? If I had one more point to give you, I would have shown you how the prophetic helps a man at destiny because prophet is powerful. But will leave that for another time. What you have received and with what is coming from other speakers and the prophetic declaration that comes from your Man of God, I believe it to equip you. But I pray for you sincerely from my heart. Many years after now, with Christ Tarvis, you will still be standing. Your life will not be a negative lesson for anybody. In the name of Jesus Christ. People would not use your life to warn orders. It will be an inspiration. I say it again, people would not use your story to warn orders. The Lord will grant you messy and for someone who has lost time, you've lost energy. You are not able to move forward at this wrong conference. I stand locking hands with the Man of God, and I speak strength to your spirit in the name of Jesus Christ. Let me do the altar call very quickly. You are in this place and you need Jesus. There's no assumption inside. I saw an overflow of hungry, desperate and passionate people outside, and I believe there are many more who are following streaming online. Every time God creates a convergence like this is an opportunity for one. Person, just one. Since here a person to make it right with Jesus. We cannot enter this session without allowing someone to make it. Right with Jesus. So whether you are here in the main auditorium or you are outside, I saw several people right here is the part that matters most, because you must be in Christ to even begin the journey to fulfill in the Great destiny. Allelujah. It says, whilst you were in your mother's womb, before doubt came as formed, I knew you and I ordained you to be a prophet. I'm speaking to some brothers, some sister, someone who is watching by television, you're watching by the Internet or any of the platforms, and you're saying Apostle as a Jerry, would you give me an opportunity to make it right with Jesus? Two calls in one call number two, you are saying, Apostle, I want to rededicate my life. Hearing you speak, particularly when you began to speak about the presence of God, I know that I'm guilty of this. I need to make it right with my destiny. I want to run to finish. I want to run to win. I'm tired of Deley dialing and being in a strait betwixt. I want to get it right. I'm going to count one to five. If you're somewhere scattered in the auditorium, I like you to make your wares. I count one to five. I don't know how those who are responding outside will be managed. If there will be allowed to come in, that's fine. Else I'm sure there should be a way of receiving them outside. And for those who are online, I'm sure. That the media people will give you a link so that you're able to take advantage or account. One to five. Wherever you are, run like there's fire on the mountain. Please come and stand here. I begin my counting now. One. Make sure you understand what you're doing. You are saying, I need Jesus. I need to make it right. Streams of joy. Can we honor these ones as they come? You don't have to kneel for space. Please stand. Two. Let's celebrate them as they come. Let's celebrate them as they come. You want to give your life to Jesus once and for all, Please come genuinely so. I'm not asking you if you have a Christian name. I'm not asking you if you. Think you love the idea of Christianity. I'm asking you that you need Jesus. You are aware of the void in your heart. The Bible calls him the Way, the Truth, and the life. There are so many people. Are you celebrating a great harvest here tonight? Allelujah? Now here's what we'll do once the front is filled. And when you request that you stand right where you are, and you do that orderly. The officials who will be directing you. If these ones are coming from outside, I think we can hold stay them. We can just move them somewhere, maybe to their led or just anywhere where they're able to hear the sound of my voice. On behalf of Jesus Christ. For those of you here, and on behalf of the leadership of this great ministry, I salute you for the courage, the courage to have made this decision. It is the wisest decision any man can make in this side of God's kingdom. Let me request that you lift your. Right hand, if you can lift it high above your head. The meaning of that is I surrender. The meaning of that is I'm truthful and I mean business. And with your hands lifted, I want you to say this as loud and as clear as you are able to say Lord Jesus, like you are serious. Say Lord Jesus, Tonight I have heard your word. I love you with all my heart. I believe you are the son of God. I believe you died for my sin. Tonight I receive salvation, I receive eternal life. I receive the forgiveness of Sin. I declare that you are my savior, You are my Lord, you are my king. The power of sin, satan, hell and the grave is broken over my life. From tonight I'm a child of God. I go for whatever and back whatever. Amen, keep your beautiful hens. I pray for you in the name of Jesus, by the authority of Scripture, and upon your profession of faith, I. Declare your sins forgiving. And I declare by the authority of Scripture that from today you are bona fide recipients of the life of God. The grace to live. The victorious Christian life is imparted upon you. You go forw whatever and back whatever. And it's in Jesus' name we have prayed. Amen. Please direct me back to their seats. Okay, So here's what will do for me. There, officials, there's an official I see waving his hand. It's a narrow path, so you need to make histe as you move. I want you to follow them. That should be my right. You're left from where you stand. Please, all of you in concerts this way, the counselors who have a word with you, those of you who made this decision online. Please let's streams of joy. There's a QR code, make sure you scan it. Let's know that you've made this decision and it's a new beginning for you. Let's celebrate them as they go. Alle Lujah, praise the name of the Lord. And for us who are here. With your hands lifted, I pray for you. I stand in faith with the Man of God, and I decree and declare, you will start, you will continue, you will finish. I say to you again, you will start, you will continue, you will finish. The grace to start, receive it. The grace to continue, receive it, and the grace to finish, strong, to finish, victorious, receive it in. The name of Jesus God. Bless you with Your hands to Jesus and give him all the praise.
