The law of faith, the spiritual systems that are allocated for drawing realities from the. Realm of the spirit. If it is true. That God has blessed you and I with all spiritual blessings, and I told you that those spiritual blessings are the things the Bible calls true riches. Say it after me, true riches, one more time, true riches. The Bible calls this that we look for on faithful. Mamma, did you hear that when they say something it's on faithful, What does that mean? It is unstable, it is unreliable. If your confidence is this the Bible already tells you it has a character of unfaithfulness. It only looks faithful when you have true riches. If all you have is this, this thing would disobey you in a way that would disgrace you. You will need something higher, true riches. So the law of faith and ca Jesus the law of faith. What is faith? Faith simply means your convictions based on who God is, the integrity of his person. Your conviction based on who God is the integrity of his person, alongside the action that you take based on that conviction. Listen very carefully. The starting point of faith is your conviction, not just an awareness, a persuasion that God is this and that, and that he sustains the ability that everything the Bible says is able. To do is true. And then alongside that you are willing to act to take that risk, to commit his integrity. A wur together. If I told his brother now that there's money. At the back of that, that that feedback. Now he's not seeing it. The question he has to ask is does this guy have a track record of being a liar? Are we together? If I'm a comedian, most likely he will not take me seriously because he thinks I'm just. Joking a wur together. But if he finds out that I'm serious, he will take that step. I wa together. Now, please stand here, sir. Can I use it for a moment. Whatever I tell you, I'm going to ask you to come. Just tell me you are coming, but don't come. Let me show you what many of us have been doing that we call fit. Ready, Come, sir, Come and take Remember this is your reward. Come. You see that I'm coming, But we don't move. God says, come, I mean you're holding it. I said, God, I'm coming. I'm on my way. I'm coming. Is it not to meet you? What our fight is? The distars that I can come. I'm coming, and God is saying come. Faith is not just confession. It's part of it. But until you act, if it be, dow bid me come, and he says come, he would have stood there to say, my God, Jesus, you're so smart. You mean you are this bold? You think I'm you that I was just no, no, no, he took that step. Remember when he took that step, even. In his disobedience, Jesus took responsibility and held him. No, you don't die when when you are in faith, even if you miss it. And it is that obeying God was what led you to start that journey. He takes responsibility. Esther certified perish, I perish. You think God would have allowed her perish. So this gentleman now works on that water, and all of a sudden you watch him working on water, and you'll come to pay him for working on water. And he's surprised. He's saying, look, it's not my ability. God told me to come, and I was stupid enough to take that risk with my life. I will together, thank you, sir. Let me tell you this, brothers and sisters, hear me. If you don't understand how faith works, nothing will ever manifest in your life. There is no guarantee anywhere outside the world of God. Oh, don't worry. Finish school. As soon as you finished school, give me a call, and I promise you a job is waiting at civil Defense. The person who is talking is in or when he's still there by the time you are graduated. Let me tell. You everything physical is truly vanity. If you cannot trust God, you're know pastor. There are many people who want to start ministry and the command say, sir, I'm just about to start minister. I don't know if God I speak to you to support me. They say an auditorium somewhere with here is one million per use And you tell my brother the God who helped me as you are saying, now, may he help you, And the person will go back angry and say, pascial, I didn't support me. There is always how all these high men of God do we the ones who are coming up, they we will support us. They will just pray. What is prayer? Just say I bless you, No, sir, Whereas he would have gone back rejoicing to say thank you. He gave me something that money cannot buy. Are we together now? Listen to me. The journey of your destiny will require you believe in God and taking that risk in life, to take that step and say, oh God, I came from a family where no one has a reason beyond certain levels, and I'm. Leaving the village and coming into Legos. I don't have any uncle, I don't have any auntie, but I have you, and Lord, I know that I heard you. You said I should come. You will prosper me. I'm on my way. You get up, you don't see that and say, okay, let me call one auntie. Get up and enter that louxurious boss, I know you think I'm talking nonsense. The person talking to you is not a fool. As you are driving through that night, boss, like a madman, you don't know that the Angel of His presence is following you too, and right in that Boss, someone will say, young man, what are you doing. I'm on my way to Legos to just come and die. God said, as you come, So I'm on my way coming. You say, why don't you come? Come on fellowship in our church. You will not know that she's. The wife of your destiny helper. You never would have met her, crossing your legs at home and hoping that one day you will come saith. You need to believe God enough and stand up and act. Many believers are not convinced for faith. It's not just that you heard what God said. The proof of faith is that you do what God said. Whatever He tells you to do, do it. It is a wish it do it past So many people would have been millionnaires today if they worked with the prophecy they received and got up by faith to start something. What if I feel this is all I. Have, But what you have has finished even without doing anything faith. It took faith for your pastor to put this program. You didn't sign any paper that you were coming. It took faith to call you. Do you not see that realities are called forth in the realm of the spirit by faith. Reality is manifest by faith as anyone who has reasen as any great Mandy took a first step. Don't be afraid. Faith does not kill you will have to take that bull step. Lord, I've been trusting you for a job, and you hear God. If you stand up to act and you've not had God. You are acting on your own. But when he speaks, you stand up. Do you not delayed obedience like we say, it's disobedience in a measure? You need to believe God promptly, promptly, promptly the law of faith, your conviction based on who God is. The Bible says, trusting the Lord with all your heart Probabs Chapter three. When you read from verse five, he says, and lean not on your own understanding in all your ways. Acknowledge him, he says, and he shall direct your part. I believe God. I believe God. I believe God. Don't sit down and say life is not fair. Anybody you see life fair to their force life to be fair. Life is not fair to anybody. No sentiments. Are we together life. So you take that step. God is speaking to us. You have been blessed and something is coming upon you shortly this morning a day. But you see that a nunting is useless. Listen, He says, what do you have in your house? She said, nothing, accepted jir And the prophet said, that's what you're calling accept Your miracle is only small because you've not done anything about it. He said, now you take action, go and borrow vessels. He said, borrow, not a few. And then she returned and says, sir, I'll borrow. Then the next instruction came. Notice he didn't tell her everything. Oh, he waited for her at the point of obedience. When she returned back, she said, I've obade you. You're ready for the next instruction. Now lock your door so that norm believer will come and distract you. Lock your door and start turning the oil. She would have said, sir, if you have to laugh at me, is this how you would do it? And she turned that oil and kept feeling vessels, kept feeling vessels. The Bible says she so it paid her debt and lived off the rest. Everybody says, I may believe her, Say. I believe God. Yes, you have to believe him. Pastor is making an audacial statement right now about the land and all of that. And you are wondering where will this money come from? Don't ever ask that question again. The money is on earth, but the force that brings it is not ethly. This money is not going to fall from the sky. Let's not lie to ourselves. The money is already in the hands of men, But there is a spirit and a force. Two riches is what brings it. Remember like your money right now, the malt you want to drink after service? Is it in your hand? That malt is in someone's shop while you are smiling. You know that that's your molt where you are coming to charge? You passed it and he said, I'm coming because there's something in your pocket. The manner is malt and his shop. You know that if you come, you will give it. And you will give you the moth as soon as we share. The grace which speed you. One is standing front, you will You're not begging? How much is more? We even bring to and you don't drop this and the man smiles and gives you. That means there is something you can drop. And life say, stick sick. When you have this color backer Toshata, listen, Life will tell you what kind of grace you have by the results that follow. If it is safer, you can entire land two riches. Remember we're talking about it. You entire land. You don't have to announce. Does a magnet speak talk to me? Does a magnet speak? But every other metal, once it comes close enough, it knows those things are adumbrations of how spiritual laws work. So you step into a land and somebody who should bless me in a bell cut and josels, I feel like coming to Legos. He didn't feel like something he's bringing him. I feel like seeing past social and it just comes and says, you are here. Do you know God spoke to me in January to bless you. I'm sorry for disobedience and no problem, bring it God, God promised you obey, obey now, and obey first. And another angry person who has been in Lego says life is unfair. He's watching what is going on now? How can someone pass me and come and bless him? Personal? Are you the only one on it? No? But if you're the only one carrying this thing, then you are the only one in to work for. Are you seeing what happens in church? When people come to church, You don't just come to sit down. The world makes you wealthier, It truly does. Ignoreant people around, just sit down and say a people come and waste their time. All these hungry pastors waiting for me. No, no, they're giving you salary. We're giving you two riches too, riches. You possess this you will be surprised. You are sitting down now and you just feel like going to a restaurant you said, I've never been to. You are not feeling like something is happening in the realm of the spirit. Be conscious of what is on you. As soon as you enter that restaurant, you see the daughter of the director you've been seeking to see. Sorry, I saw you at the house of David. Say yes, who is this? And you see her son name? Sorry? Is it the name that I say? Yes? By the grace of God, I just feel like doing something for you. I can't talk to my father. He loves me so much. He said, thank you Jesus, you have answered my prayer. And someone says, you mean you are that lucky lock? Did you call that lock? If his lock, why didn't he happen to you? Lock? That is pretty dig lorck. That can repeat itself. Pastor made a statement and I don't mean to. I apologize if it looks like I'm proud, But he says that I carry an overflow annointing. It's not a lie, and it's not It has nothing to do with me. It was never about Elijah or Elisha. It was about the man to whoever held it. The physical rem showed who held it. So it's not about you and prosperity. It's about the annointing. If it's on you, I tell you sincerely, this thing was follow you. It's true, it's true. Please understand what am I wasting your time this morning? Have you not seen people. That because of what is on them, they can't even coulate to work and their lateness becomes the reason for their promotion. Look, how I'm fay it is. They never get to see the group manager. But just because they came late, they were waiting for their direct supervisor to quarrel them, and between them and the direct supervisor, they just met the group manager. Say you're staff in this company? Yes, sir, I'm sorry so I came. That's all right, things happened. We're humans. I know what did you even say? Your name is? My name is chemissa. Ah, it's a privilege to see you, sir. Oh, I'm seeing you with you go to a household of David. I used to know him. Ah, that's good. I'm impressed. Give me your name, give me your number. I like you. Who hates you doesn't matter, but who likes you matters. Now look at this someone who has been going early seven o'clock. He was obedient in that place, but nothing on his head. He's They're angry and complaining if by twenty six my salary doesn't come. And here you meet, you meet someone your lateness was for. We know. They may not know, but we in this kingdom we know. Carla Backer pos here are we together? Now? It looks like your car hit someone by mistake. And they say, he let's go to the police station. And you are there in the police station. You are saying it's a mistake, don't harass me. And right from that event that looks unpleasant. You know five people, and God says, that's why I brought you here. You will need them tomorrow. One young man just wants to harass you. You just call and say, sir, mister Silas, good afternoon, sir, please help me and say I'm coming now. They come and hold that guy. They don't even find out what is wrong. They're holding straight to the station because we know that all things, all things when you share. Preachers say things like a believer cannot be disadvantaged. If you are canal, you will never understand what they're saying, it's true that what is on you is what controls what is around you. It is not what is around you. What is around you only proves what is on you or not on you. If someone this guy is a millionaire and he comes to meet me and we stand and talk and he just pats me and hates me, I won't hate him. I will go back and say, Lord, I don't know what is not on this head, but I'm going to stay in this secret place until something comes. I had the opportunity for my life to be changed fifteen minutes with this man, and nothing was transacting. Mary and Martha remember they both had something on them and what was within them. Also, the babies were talking to I stand before this man, and I claim I have favor. This guy is a human being, the real he means the spirit man. Couldn't the spirit man be? Can see now when Esther stood before a hazardous how many minutes did you spend as said you are my wife? Who you must be my wife? I'm challenging you. See, you should never stand before anybody that has the capacity to lift you, and nothing happens if there is no reaction. Bringing magnets here right now, bring a magnet, put it across. There are some things that to repel it. But when it comes given your shoes, your shoe will lift to follow it. Hi hi hi Hi i Yi hi. Hi. Do you what I'm teaching you? Lessae be the God of our Father, who are blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. So when you say you don't have a job, what you are trying to say is my channels for allowing that blessing to find expression are limited. When you go to apply for a job, you are simply making room. That's why a woman can build a house selling a karra. A kara should not build the house, But that kara now became a channel. And what is on high is heavier than a kara. Have you ever tried to open it up? And the pressure of the what I so much it can even enjoy you in this kingdom? Be rain not by the things that I see, but the realities that are in. The realm of the spirit. A final yes to then can stand knowing that there is a cost that can keep you. You know that that. Cost should keep you, And all of a sudden you stand in the office and while the man is looking at you. You are happy because you know, just look at my eyes. There is more. Something is happening. And the man looks at you. I'm not just motivating you. It's because we don't believe this. That's why it doesn't happen. And that annointing just comes. And the man looks at you and says, all right, you go away, and your result comes and he says that you're passed. You say, God, but this is unfair. One lady said a very humorous testimony in her ministry. I can't remember the exact time, but the testimony was that she was going to I think she needed I don't know, was an extra semester or a session or something like that. And then she went back, you know, knowing, okay, let me just look for schoofies and go and pay and all of that. I think she had registered, even I'm not exactly sure of the testimony, and she just found out. She went to check the list of the graduating people and saw her name there, and the letsay, I can't believe this. The next time you say you can't believe something, you should sit there and think of what you just said. I can't believe it means God. So I'm sorry that you. I think you were as calmer. We're talking God here. What is our idea of God? Is it that God cannot change? What part of him? Don't you believe that he's not alive or that he's not mighty? Which one? When Pastor was mentioning this, you know I told you there's a prophecy for this church. Yes, that mentioning all of this past We're going to pray. Let's watch what the anointing can do. This anointing, you see, my brothers and my sisters, is the highest spiritual commodity known. When you are anointed, you are greater than a monarch. You are greater than an ambassador. They are all humans. With their death, everything dies. But even when Elisha dies, the anointing leaves. Are we together? Now? It's true. That a man's life can change just because of something that was introduced to his. Life, the law of faith. Everybody say, I believe, Let's sing that song once. I believe. Yes, yes, Oh the Sun of God, it is well with me. Listen, do you know what carried you from your house to this church for this program? It's not invitation, it's not publicity. That's not the only invitation you have been looking at, and average Nigerian looks at more than twenty invitations per day. The kennapp that carries you there is there is a poster there, the man. We even give you tracked. You go to the bank, sometimes you see there's a tracked. Oh, there's a program, there's a wellness program. There are many programs. And I'm not trying to be sarcastic. It is not just what you see that draws you. There is something. When you see the miracles that happened through our teachings. It's not just because of the quality of the world. It's more than that. You've had all kinds of testimonies. For those of you who follow a ministry past or that a man will buy a new phone, packaged packaged, a new phone and open it a phone that he knows not fake, not and then you see messages inside. How do you explain that messages inside that phone? If you don't love God and you follow a ministry, you think we lie. You've heard the testimonies. Someone will write jam get one forty something and then they pray. He goes to check back and seis two sixty something. How do you explain this thing? It's because when you are canal, you know that if it is not one plus one, it can be two. But I told you in this kingdom one plus one plus God hequals to any answer me answer that somebody can be seated here. And by the end of this year you are standing inside your own house with tears and saying, God. I can't believe this. What is this? How did it happen? And someone says, I'm going abroad, what do you have? And a house of seventeen million? They say, bring three or four? I plan to give it to a church I just failed to just give you. And people say you are a chief. You I know by now why thief? And so what do you mean I'm a thief. I'm just favored. I just mentioned house because you know houses are expensive in Legos. Your faith is even. Rejecting what I'm like I have, Apostle, don't talk that nonsense. You are You're coming all the way from Zaria and Prophet signed house is the reason why you need to stay in the secret place. Faith can grow. You know, your faith can grow by what it can receive. When your faith grows, you know it by what it can receive. Brothers and sisters. Look at me. We're talking about God here, Look at my life. Look at my life. What more do you need to see to know that when a man believes God? He said, have I not told you that if thou wouldn't believe, you will see the glory of God. There is a relationship between your believing and seeing the glory of God. There is no where God cannot take me. There is no body God cannot help me. See, I'm not just saying this because of what He has told me today and what the little He has done in my life today. No, no. Men can act like they are so all these things that men do. The pride of men ending the physical realm, did you hear me? The pride of man and ends where in the physical, in the realm of the spirit. Every physical body is his slave to whatever happens. A man can beat his chest and say, oh, by my dead body to help you, that's just an empty body making nonsense noise. By the time the father. Of spirits instructs that body to obey you, Pharaoh would give you gold and say God, four hundred and thirty years of arrogance ended in one night when the Father of spirits. There is a name, God is called the Father of Spirits. That's why. Don't be surprised who God will used to bless you. A boss who can say if I'm in this office, just know that. You are done. And you are praying God remove him. And God say, if I remove him, you will never rise. And you said, Lord, what. Are you saying? Rather just pray and say, God, let this come on me. And one day the man is sleeping and the Holy Spirit tells him it's time to lift my soul. He gets off unknowingly but obediently and leaves. You look at the anger in Pharaoh's heart when the Israelites left. It meant he was charmed, he was manipulated. He was not normal. When they left, Pharaoh just said. What did I do, the Father of spirits? Don't you let men talk nonsense to you. I can't close your door. All that is pride for nonsense and for nothing except God is not God. He said, O King, when he comes to this one, we are not careful. We would respect you in every other thing, but as parts in the might of God, we are not careful. You know, we live in a time where men can. Just think they can bully you because of your background, and some of us have been bullied by life. People just look at you. You can't speak English. You are not fine, You're not educated. Your father is not this your mother, and you stand feeling bad, feeling so frustrated. You wor tonight. This is the victory that overcomes even our faith. This is the victory. Hear me, household of David, inside and outside. The Lord is speaking to you this morning. This is the victory. Time will fail me to talk of Gideon and Jeffter and Barack, men who two fits subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, shut the mouths of lions. Women received their dead back to life. The Bible says, for by it the elder's obtained obtained. For by it the elder's obtained egg. There are results were called a good report. For by each man of God you obtain your venue. For by it you obtain your house. It is never your certificate that will give you a house. Listen to me, brothers and sisters, It is never your intelligence. Those things are the physical actors. The same way, when a movie director conceptualizes an idea, he looks for phys become men to act it your job. Your certificates are just actors, and they are important. But all things come from God. They only pass through men and through systems to you. They don't come from systems. No helper comes from the act. Every helper comes from Heaven, and a material body cooperates with that spirit of favor to reach you. That means if one person refuses, there is still another body. If Mary had refused Jesus, Jesus will still come. The only thing is that you will miss the opportunity for being a woman who is highly favored. It's not Jesus that is highly favored. If that Donji refuse to carry Jesus, another donkey will come. Where did the coin come from? From the mouth of. The fish, Because there were many greedy people who are not willing to bless the ministry, and the said, go and remove the coin from the mouth of a fish, to prove that if I ask men to give, it's not luck. Is an opportunity for them to be lifted. So that when God tells you come and sew into past social last life, you don't get angry and say you see, but this. Is always how God works. He can always rout his blessings to another mechanism. This revelation should not make you arrogant. It should make you confident. You respect men and honor men, but not at the detriment of your confidence in God. When a man becomes God in your life, you can wave him and say, let me see me at the other side of my results, even without you, because there is a God in heaven that changes times and seasons. There's someone sitting here as you are listening to me. Inside and outside. It will be like night and day the way my God, who is the lifter of men, will turn your life around. Listen, take your eyes away from what is not in place now. Your meeting is called a total experience. Take your eyes away. I'm showing you how the systems of the Kingdom walk. Is the law of faith. Your faith is not trying to search for something that is not dear. If it's not dear, your faith is useless. It's a reality in the spirit your faith. I know we say faith makes on seen things not unreal on seen, not unreal on seen. They are on seen, but it doesn't mean they're unreal. Light be light was on seen, but not on real. Your house is un seen, not unreal. Your ministry on seen not unreal. We mistaken on seen for unreal. I went together now, so just because my eyes cannot see it, I say it's not real. It's that true. Have you ever seen your heart? Have you ever seen your lungs? Yet you believe you've been using it for as old as you are. A woman stands up and believes just because the doctor showed her report that you are pregnant, she may not even feel anything and start jumping, I'm pregnant, madam? Who told you are pregnant? Your stomach has not even put to lady, what if he's a mistake by the doctor. You don't care what I say, mistake. You are just jumping, and you are happy. And while you are rejoicing, all of a sudden that baby grows and you give back to a baby, and you're looking at a woman who was alone now and there too look at this miracle. And the men are happy, and you know, men will convince. Ourselves that that's the fruit of our meeting with our wife. Is that really true? Children are a heritage talk to me from They only pass through men. That's why the Holy ghost could use another man called him to breathe upon the woman to have a real body. Listen. It is this revelation that made the cattle. And when Jacob was in Laban's house to multiply, they only needed the females. The males came from the realm of the spirit. Read your Bible. Jacob was having a dream and he saw kettles coming. Once there's five loave and two fishes, enough and God can step in and do a miracle.
