THE LIFE OF ABRAHAM

Aleeluyer. If I were to become a South African, I would be Zulu. I've applied for my residence permit. I'm praying that it would be considered. I'm so, I'm I'm Zulu. I salute all the ministers of the Gospel that are present here. We need to become more one with each other so that we can wage a more global warfare against the dominion of darkness. And we are not talking about union, you know, student union while we're on campus. That's not what we're talking about. We're talking about people that the Holy Spirit has stayed in the same direction to com partner together to translate the mind of God into manifestation. What I've witnessed here has convinced me that this province is on course towards a collision with the Holy Spirit. And if you ask me, will I be back, the answer is yes, I will be right back. We still have a lot to do in the land. I'm hoping that because the window. For my coming this time came up suddenly, and I'm even amazed that this level of planning could be achieved at short note, what I trust God for is a situation where we have so much time to plan so that we may move the meeting too, somewhere bigger than this place. Yes, and kindle a fire that will last the test of time. I salute the great cumbrade of God that he has planted in this house. Your labors are true, and the Lord will cause your face to shine. You will cause your face to shine. Lord, this morning we give you praise and we exalt your name. We asked that you stretch forth your hand and are meaged and do us good. Elevate us, increase our rank in your kingdom, so that we can function with greater authority as we contend with the installations of darkness in the territory. We ask Lord that you smile on us with your compassion, with your mercy, and strengthen us with might by your spirit in our inner man. Open towards the scriptures and speak to us in simple, plain language, as Jesus would have done if you were physically present teaching us. Take all the glory and be magnified in Jesus' mighty name. Please, you may be seated, but salute some one before you grab your seat. God bless you in jesus mighty name. Alujah. Hallelujah. I must. Also commend my sister the way you handle that scripture this morning. No, you touch something, It's just that I already have a direction. If not, I would have jumped on what you touched. You open something, and I will take your greetings to my wife. And I believe that both of you make a very powerful, powerful team. I believe that. Turn your Bible with me to the Book of Joe chapter twenty eight, Job. Twenty eight. If you find chapter twenty eight, trace verse number seven, Job twenty eighth, verse number seven. There is a. Path which no fowl knoweth, and the vulture's eyes have not seen. The lion's verbs have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed by it. He puted forty's hands upon the rock, He overturned the mountains by the roots. He cauteth out rivers among the rocks, and his eyes see at every precious thing. He binded the floods from overflowing, and the thing that is he. Bringeth. He fought to light. But where shall wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding? Allelujah? I like you to take inventory of the four creatures mentioned that do not have the capacity. To spy upon this path. The first that was mentioned is a vulture. The vulture is equipped with compound eyes, and it sustains positional advantage. Yet what is capacity of oversight, has not been able to. Find this path of which we speak. The next clature mentioned is the foul. The foul is detailed with its rake fingers, and it can scratch its way into details, but yet has not been able to find this path. The tired creature mentioned is the lion. The lion is dominiering is the picture of dominion. It commandeers is pride Lands. It goes around its territory and urinates around it every morning, just in case you want to stray into the territory and you perceive the scent of his urn, you know that there is a master in this territory. So every aspect of his pride Land has been mastered by him. But yet. The part of which we speak, even the lions have not found it. The third creature mentioned that the cobs of the lion. The cobs of the lion, they stray beyond the Pride Lands in general one the lost, and they stumble on so many things in the forest. But yet they've not been able to find the path of which we speak, It. Says the fortress. Eyes have not seen it. The lion's verbs have not trodden it. Not the fierce lions passed by it. For he puts forty's hands upon the rock. He overturns the mountains by the roots. He cutted out rivers among the rocks, and his eyes sees every precious thing. He binds the flows from overflowing, and the things that are hed bring that he fought to light. All of this renovation is an attempt to find the path, but to no avail. This path is the path that sons have been no deigned to walk upon. And as we take this journey in the scriptures, I will ask you a question at the end, if you have found that path. The songs of the kingdom were deigned to navigate on this path. And the proof. That you have really had an encounter with the King is that it brings you on a path. And you know what a path is. A path is a road that only one person can work on part time. And it will surprise you to know that your unique destiny narrows you to a path. Come with me I's study the life of Abraham. In the Book of Genesis, chapter twelve, there was a clarion call from God, and I need to give you a background about Abraham and his family, Allelujah. In my study of documents that were written by renowned archeologists, their writings revealed that the first platform, the first civilization in humankind was the civilization of all of the Chaldis. The Chaldeans. Civilized is trysts to the Childians, the land of the Childians, because we had Childians, then we had Acadians, then on this side or that side of the river. But the Childians are known for their analytic minds and civilization is traced to them, and that was. Where Abraham, Abraham was born. The heart of the civilization that was among the Childians was powered by their commitment to a certain deity that was called. Sin Si and the God of the Childians. The fertility spirit that was responsible for bountiful agricultural production within that landscape, and everything that was brewing in the civilization was attributed to the power of that idol. It was interesting to know that the house Abraham's household, his lineage, they were dedicated to the service of the spirit. So Abraham was not in noviist to spiritual things. He knows how spirits speak. He understands how spirits hack into the minds of men and begin to communicate their thoughts. And if you are not trained and initiated, you will think that those thoughts are your thoughts. Is in this context that this man that was enlightened through the vista of a fatality spirit now had a voice in his head. That he could not take out. And that voice was unlike any other voice that has whispered to him through the spirit watchels. The perception of what the voice was demanding was not friendship. The voice came to set him in motion and demanded that he will leave the civilization that he had known. All of the cows was the light. All the nations round about were darkness. And you want someone to live the light into darkness. I'm trying to provide a context for you. Guess what Abraham did after he heard God? Oh yeah, not with me. Now let's read it. Can you get okay? Now? The Lord had said, the first thing you need to do is on the line. Had so this thing, this encounter. He had told him a long time, but Abraham delayed, And I will show you what he did in order for him to find some security in attending to the voice that was speaking to him. The voice said, get the out of thy country, get the out from among thy kindred, get the out from thy father's house, and go to a land. That I will show you. That means you need to visit the South African Immigration Office in is in Preetoria. In Praetoria, you visit their office and you ask the immigration officer has to expound your name, delete your name from the list of South Africans, because they say, get thee. Out of thy conty. When you finish with the immigration service, the South African Immigration Service, we wait for the festival that your familyhoods. You know in in in I don't know whether in Zulu culture that happened. There's a festival. That has the capacity to draw together almost all the family members. So you wait for that festival. When the festival comes and all the family members are represented, you ask the eldest to draw the family tree and then when it wants to draw your own link, you say hold on there from today cross it out. You know, you know what I'm talking about. If you succeed in doing that, you have already provoked the witches in the compound. H because the reason why you have affinity with the efforts of the witches and the compound is because you are tied to them by blood. You will if you if you read your Bible critically, you will find a lot of spirituals. They are not They are in plain sight, but you need eyes to see it. For instance, you hear some like Joshuah said, as for me and my house will serve the law. And he made that conclusion without consulting with the members of his house. It means that by an act of his capacity in headship, he has already implicated the members of his household. Then, after you have finished. That, you will now proceed to your father and you will begin to reason with him. And then you say, okay, now this family the way it is. Now, what is your plan? Then you now mentioned the first bond, This is what I want to do second bond. When it comes to you. You can you assume that I'm no longer here. If you succeed in achieving that fit, at the end of the day, you'll be country red, country. Less, clanless, and fatherless. You will not have an identity because they will take their name back like I bear my son. Name is all sign that means you'll give them that name. The only one you will not have is Aroma. The idea was that God wanted to give him an identity. God wanted to give him a name, and God wanted to allocate to him a territory where his destiny will be supported and funded. And he's going to be dissociated from everything he had known prior to this time. Get THEE out of thy country, get thee out of their kindred, get thee out of thy father's house. Whenever God begins to brood upon the people, brood upon a man, is always a brooding that will call you out. M As far as God is concerned, your current context cannot support your destiny. You need to come out of that context. There is nothing that is within that context that can support what he wants to do. He wants to take the glory. For the outcome of your life, because the moment you cut off, people will say will see how far you will go, And God actually wants them to see. He wants to be responsible for the outcome of your life, so he says, get the what out. Many times when you find someone that experiences a fracture in destiny, it is because the person is not willing to dissociate. In ministry. If God wants to promote you, many times you will need to disconnect from some ministers in order for God to find a new context with which to deal with you. You see, God doesn't want to reference that a leen contexts as far as your destiny is concerned. So the principle of detachment is a golden principle that puts you on a path where the things that are connected to your foundation will not be able to lay claim to you. So if you see any man that has not yet dissociated, it means he still has a vital link with his context, and the covenants that are done within that context can sider influencing. When you see a man that God wants to release from covenance, release from transactions, release from agreements, he always calls him out. So many of us don't want to come out, But we want God to meet us where we are. That's not the language of songs. It's only babes. He meets where they are. But when you become a son, he will not leave you at home. You will have to travel. Please help me tell your neighbor you too, You will travel. You will move. Many times. In destiny. God will isolate a patriarch. You realize as we go on in the teaching, you will come to some understanding. Abraham was a child d It was when he yielded to that call, and it was interacting with God. That he became Hebrew. There's a new language that God wants you to speak, but you still speak the language of your village. So you have not allowed God to apply the meaning of what it means to be a new creation. You still want to play games around with girlfriends and all of that, and then you want God's blessings. It's a get the out. It takes. It takes masculinity, it takes. It takes a heart that is willing to work with God. God, do not leave you where you are. He will disconnect you from your contexts, even the support systems in that context that is supposed to sustain you. He will disconnect you from that economy because in his plan he has an economy in view that will support you. With are the curchees that your previous context are given to you. You will never mature into destiny with curchase. So he say, get the out. When you come out, I need to warn you you are going to be alone for a long time. And when I say alone, I don't mean lonely. Adam was alone. Adam was not lonely. Loneliness is an emotional situation. But being alone was that he was isolated so that he can learn how to speak. The dialect of God. God will isolate you so that they can teach you is dialect. If I hear you speak for a few minutes, I will know how far. You have gone with God. Your fear will hop out of your speech, your anxiety will hop out of your language. It means you have not learned the language that only men that isolated with God get to learn. You are still like Awe of the culd days. He say, get d out, get the old, get the helt. Who told you that you were brought into marriage so that you can enjoy it? Who told you. Expecting them to drive you to some cities so that you run naked on the beach. That's your idea of marriage? There are sometimes when God wants to bring redemption to a people of darkness. It brings the best, the fairest among his damnselves, and he posts her there say that you're the only hope to bring light in that place. People don't go. Into marriage with the missionary mentality. You are going there looking for kicks. You have not come out yet, you are said, in bondage to your own moon Dane philosophy, you. Have not come out. You have not come out. You have not come out. God cannot build you, It cannot make you where you are. All songs will have to travel on the path that no foul knows. That we travel on that path that the voters' eyes have not seen, that will travel on the path that the lions webbs have never thrown. He's a pat because it's you allow. So this guy God called him, as you can see in the Book of Genesis, chapter twelve, verse one, the call was in the past. The guy looked at it. He calculated it it sor the things he will lose. So his first reaction was that he went to his dad and he told his dad that there's this voice that I've been hearing in my head, and the voice is telling me to pack my things and leave this place. Let me show you evidence for what I've said. Stay with me. Who is there, let's do Genesis chapter eleven, Genesis eleven from verse twenty seven. Genesis eleven from verse twenty seven. Now these are the generations of Terra. Terra Begat, Abraham, Abram, Naho and Haran and Haran Begat Lot and Haran died before his father Terra in the land of his nativity, in awe of the Kaldis. And Abraham and Naho took them wives. The name of Abram's wife was Sarahi, and the name of Naho's wife was Milka, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milka and the father of Iska. But Sarahi was Borren. She had no children. Tti one, please take not to tetu one. And Terra took Abram his son and lord, the son of Haran his son son, and Sarahi his daughter in law, his son Abraham's wife. And they went forth and went forth with them from all of the childies. Where where were they're going? Going to the land of what Canaan? And they came to Haran and dowelt there. So Abraham told his dad, mm hmm, go back to are you there? That this voice is ansaying? Also travel, but I want you to take a full inventory of the travel party. You will see that it was Terror that was leading the journey and Abraham was a passenger, so he had. Are you there, stay with me? We have. Some time. Abram was a passenger. Terra was the one leading the people. The intention was to go to Canaan, but he now arrived in Haran and do it there. And God knew that as far as Terror was alive, Abram would never fulfill that mission. Are you with me? Abram was twenty five years old when God spoke to him. They made that trip at twenty five and arrived at Haaran and spent fifty years in Haran. That's how he became seventy five. So God had to kill Terror so that Abram, are you there? Guess what the meaning of Aran is delayed? So when you refuse to get out and you go and tie yourself to something there, you are wasting your life because delay will catch up with you. After you had wasted fifty years. When he became seventy five, then the Bible now said the Lord had said on to Ebrah, and miss here there's someone that God has been knocking on your door, that you have a ministry calling. And this particular individual has been telling God that since he is financially buoyant, he will just be sponsoring ministry. That's the attitude of the president that doesn't want to depart, that is that has formed. An alliance with terror. Terror will waste your time, and you'll become a victim of delay. It was in chapter twelve that Abraham now decided thaught that the dad had died. He constituted a new travel party, and unfortunately for Abraham, included lot, and lot was not part of the original deal. His current lotter loan was proof of the fact that he was willing to leave his country. He was willing to leave his kindred, but he was not willing to leave his father's. My emphasis today is the part not even Abraham's household and all of that. Let's go to the part. Let's see how he traveled Genesis twelve. Can we do Genesis twelfth one again? Then we'll start properly. Now, the Lord had said onto Abraham, get the out of that country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house onto a land that. I will show them. The first thing about the path is that. There is no physical map that you will be giving to equip you on how to navigate towards the location of interest. The instrument of navigation in this case was going to come dozes of encounters and dozes of revelations. Because the Bible says, I'm going to take you to a land that I will show you. I will show you. It means that every dream he had was part of the map. He will have to cherish it. He will have to pray until he unlocks the meaning of the dream because there is an item in that dream that is part of the map of navigation. Because when you become isolated, you will learn how to master you're hearing. You know, Elijah was doing very well when he was with Elijah. I was doing very well. So the Lord had said we should move to Jordan. He said we should move to Jericho. They said we should move to better from the Elijah across the river, Elijah went away and then there was no Elijah present again to give direction where are we going to go next? So he had to become strong in hearing. And it's interesting to know that all the places Elijah when the sons of the prophets were prophesying that Elijah was going to be taken away which was true. So there were at least there were confirmations, but when Elijah was taken there was nobody present to confirm anything. So my question to you is have you built your life enough to a place where. You can survive by your hearing? I'm talking about the part that no foul knows. I'm talking about the part that the voter's eyes have not seen. How is your hearing? Because the land is gonna take you to It's the land that you will show you. It's not in the textbook, it's not in the library, it's not in the classroom. You will not get it before a professor. It will be shown. If you are in this kind of situation that Abraham found himself in. One of the things luxuries that you cannot afford is to quarrel with God, because the moment to quarry with God will abandon you in the wilderness and there will be no more showing. The average believer. I can afford to quarry with God because you have not found the path. You can't see correct. God will say, do this, no Ah, I just started walking. How would you tell me to give everything? No, no, no, I've been obeying you all these years. But on this one, on this one writes it down that I have refused to be Yah. You know why you have a choice. It's because you've not found the path. You're still working on the Broadway. You have not found the constricted path. Uh. You know Jesus said say enter. In true this straight away. That means you have a choice, a choice to decide to enter to the Broadway. And that would not be God's fault. It to be your own choice. The man that can afford to quarry with God is a man that has chosen the broad part. But listen, there is a. Part which no foul. No. When you change, When you find this part and you begin to navigate your generation, you look at you as strange because you don't subscribe to the ideas you you most almost often you find yourself swimming against the tide. That's the proof that you have found The part is contrad it's in fouls. The foul does not know it. You cannot know what is driving this man by observing him. What is driving him is is a mystery that is locked on his heart. So his actions, his preferences, it's words, his prayers, I function of something deeper. The the interactions taking place within him. Most of you cannot even dare to be different. You can dare to be different because you don't want to be called names. Especially this day of social media, somebody can just come and insult you. You want to be clean, you want to be impeccable. You don't want to be touched. You are still in all of the cars. People deare they don't quarrell them. But the man that says I would travel terror will have problems with you. Please help me TI you never again, you will travel this time woo see le more cob my taclesble And I need to tell you the purpose, the reason for which traveling is not an option. It says, when you have gotten out, you will go to a land that I will show you. It's in that land that I will make you a great nation. So it means that I've don't misided your inheritance in the land that I I want you to appear onto. And if you can forfeit the journey, it means you have forfeited your inheritance. So now I can define what a part is now. A spiritual part. Way are leadings and directions that the Holy Spirit gives a man in order for him to be able to find his inheritance. You are going to a land that I will show you. It is in that land that I will make of you a great nation. In that land, I will bless you so that you can be a blessing. In that land. I will make your name great. The authority is God does as a proof that you have so journed on that part as it occur to you, have you realized that Christians, Muslims, and Jews claim Abraham to. Be their ancestor how did that happen? What kind of man is that? That greatness came because he worked on that path. The reason why we have charlatans here and there is because men have refused to work on the constricted path. That's why we have fixed because it doesn't have any endorsement from Heaven, so it needs to create it by being a good actor. I would not forfeit my inheritance, even if it lies among serpents, even if it exists among crocodiles, into the. Land that I for sure. There's so much noise in the body of grounds we've not been moving on. I will take an inventory, but no, there's so much, so so many people are moved. By they norm what is politically correct, what is ideal? No, when you begin to work on this part, you will be separate, You'll be distinct, you will be different. I hope you're not afraid to be different. The ego doesn't fly in colony. No. Five flyers, mountain dwellers. They are different from other beds. The ones that come to cry at your window in the morning. They are not significant, nobody. You don't even know their name. But if they egos you appear, you considerate an omen. That is a spiritual sign. H The men that have found this part, I'm not looking for anything that this world can give. So they have the courage to stand alone until their seasons come. They will only. Extend the hands of covenant to other men that have traveled on that path. There is a path with no foul nor word, which the vulture's eyes have not seen. And the lion's welves have not trodden it. Are you willing to walk the path? Because one of the things you will not escape. Is to stand alone. And Jacob was alone. He dispatched members of his house hold batch by batch, and it came to pass that he was alone. That was when that man, wrestle. Put your wrestlings and wrestling bounds of the spirit that you will only have when you are alone. Oh, it is in those wrestlings that your pride so fast laws. It's in in those wrestlings that's your your your your flesh is. Drained out of threat. Your name changes because you are now called the prince of power. You're no longer because Jacob is a planter. That happens when you are alone. I will never forget my days in the wilderness. This card that the Willarness gave me will live with me for all my life. Oh, when everybody rejected me, I was I was the only person I had was gold you see you see you see, Oh, I would not have followed God like this if not that God okay strated and I saw how unreliable human beings are. Oh. I learnt how to bend my knees before God. I learned how to bed my knees, and I labored for years and he did not answer me. He will test you to know why you are looking. For him, so he won't answer you initially, and if your destiny is great, he will leave you without answers for eighty years. So that they can test the content of your heart. You is just three years you've been You've been in the balance, and everybody has head, Pastor's head. Pastor's wife had said, you don't want to leave all the childs. That's why you're talking to everybody. None of us would remain at home. Everyone will travel. Get the out. When you come out, to be exposed to the rain, and then you will find how God intends you to survive it. We have no experience with God again because we are leaning on support systems. Meanwhile, he wants you to be alone. Sometimes when God wants to help you, that your uncle that likes you, that doesn't want you to suffer, he will die. Mm hmm. You will can't this something, But that's he has exposed you to the direct hand of his parentage. Yes, now you will hear him if he speaks. Now you will consult him. Even if he's farther away. You will wait for him. That's how man I'm made. That's our man I'm made. I learned how to pray, and prayer was not. It didn't come naturally to me. Any man that you see, that is my height. If they sleep, they sleep deep because it takes a lot to carry this mountain, so you'll be tired. And the people mentoring know, they say when men it's not from the Bible. I don't know where they got it from. They said, when men asleep, spirits are active. So if you want to meet with spirits, it's better for you to learn how to be awake when. Men are sleep. I try to learn how to pray. I will sleep. They say, if you put your legs in water, now, will you will be awake? My flesh generated the new technology and I could sleep like that. That's okay, okay. Take take. Gravel stone. Put it in your pocket, so that when you'll sleep, the thing will press. You and then you wake up. Oh, the flesh modify this capacity. Then one day I stood and said, Lord, you know it's hard to serve you. You have you con saidered it. Then he none took me to the Book of Psalms, chapter eighty, verse eighteen eighty eighty Salms eight zero, verse eighteen. SAMs. Is it that eighteen eighty or eight eighty? Why is this so difficult for this my people today, Jesus Christ, Okay, let me look for it myself, all h. Zero. Yes, this is my scripture eighty eighteen. He showed me the scripture. He said, so will we not go back from D. That means we are frustrated, though we are not happy, but we have convenante that will not go back. No, will not go back until we. Find how you how you have determined that this journey will be. So we will not go back from D quickness, and we shall call upon that name. That was when I discovered that if God does not quicken a man, that man cannot pray. And I love the. Scripture because he puts the responsibility on God and not on me. So I say, God, you are the one behind my prayerlessness. He said, I'm not asking to quicken me yet, so quickness the scripture you're seeing, the person is asking God quickness. You did not ask me too quickly. Ah, that's abstruggle. As I'm praying in the morney and just I said him quaking me, It's not my business, it's your business. That was when I began to mount up. Oh Sha share, I began to I began I learned this one alone. There are many things you will learn doing Bible study, but that will not insulate you from what you need to learn alone quackness, and wei shall call upon thy name. Okay, jump with me quickly to verse four. The journey starts from these four. So Abram departed as the Lord has spoken on to him, and Lot went with him. And Abraham was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Iran. And Abraham took SARAHI his wife, and Lot his. Brother's son, and all their substances that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran, and went forth to go into the land of Canaan. And into the land of Canaan they came. So that's an executive summary. The six is my emphasis because the six is you know, you know, how many of you know how to use Google Google Map or is there ways that you use now ways or Google Map. You type the address of where you're going, and then the thing will say set directions to click the need to show you. So that's the sad nerve, the directions that you'll be shown to drive through. Is that the case? All right? So the sad nerves, this is the sat nave, This is how the Holy goes led him. This is the summary of the leading. This is the path. So he pass through the land of the place of second onto the plane of murray. What's the meaning of second? Because all of us will pass through secret second, that's why he passed. Second. What's the meaning? Clicket on your lexicon and tell me what second means. I don't want to do it for my own You will say that I came to manipulative. Anyone whose Bible. Is equipped with a lexicon, click on second and tell us the meaning. What did you find there? Second means what it means? What it means? Shoulder? Now say Hebrew words. Hebrew one word can have multiple meanings, but the most common use of that. World is what we are looking for, which you shoulder? This is here now. The Jews don't carry luggage on your head. The Jews carry luggage on their shoulder. That's the place for the load, is the shoulder. Are you there? Oh, you're not there? Now say when you are navigating, how many of you when trying to navigate? You are driving and unfortunately for you, you now missed the place where're supposed to turn in. You will now go further. That means driving or navigating is a precision exercise. Okay, destiny is a precision exercise. How are you sure that you're on track in your destiny? What are the things you look at to know whether you're on track? Oh, you're not following me? Let me leave you here, let me. Leave you. Okay, since you can follow, I've cut off the syllables. Let's do some sixteen so that I can close. My scripture is in PSAM sixteen. But if you have not labeled. If you have not, we can I'm asking you again, how are you sure that you're on track? Because you're joining? Destiny is a. Precis it's a precision adventure. When you miss the. Ramp you were supposed to take and you go forward, Google will reroute you and say can you follow here? You take this place? Then you come back, so Google knows how to reroute. How do you reroute in destiny? What is the guarantee that you arrive at at the location? That's why he takes you through second. If you pass through second, you're likely to arrive. But click again or more? What does more mean? More? It means two things. It means the archer, have you seen it there? And then it also means the teacher. You know who? An archer is someone that shoots an arrow. That's how your destiny is. It's your destiny's talking about that. Your destiny is supposed to focus on the accurate direction, but you don't know the direction. So the teacher will need to teach you how to focus. The arrow. How do you get to focus the arrow? That's where sick comes. God will put a body on your life. Yes, if if God wants to set your your destiny, what it will do to you is that it will. It will. It will create a problem that you cannot solve and allow you and release you into it. When that load is on your shoulder, you will not be able to leave God because it's the only one that can lift it. So you stay with him even though it's not convenient. He puts that load there. It is when you are still bearing the load, even though the load is not convenient. As you stay with him with that load, then he begins to direct your life, and then he begins to give you accuracy destiny. You will never arrive until you allow his body. There is a part which no foul knows, So you cannot go and consult the foul and ask the foul for intelligence on how to navigate. The foul does not know. The voters. You have never seen it for fourteen years. The Lord told me it's a study of wide and I will teach you. Then he left. He didn't give me any more. Inside. I started, I started, I started, I started. I was preaching. People believed I was a good preacher. Then one day I went and bought cameras so that as I teach, they will feel me. He now came that day and said, who asks you to buy cameras? I'm the one that said you should study. And I have not yet come to say that you are approved because you study on till you become approved. You have not approved yet. And you went and bought camera. I said, okay, why are you not speaking until I went and bought the camera. That's why you now, because there'll be temptations. You would think you know the way at some point. Yes, the way we are structured. We are structured to believe that you have everything under control. That's not how it works in the kingdom. You don't know anything. The lady, appossibly the lady I saw that I liked. I liked her, you know, I liked her. Yeah, So I wanted to give them and to see h after I saw her and I liked her, and I went to God. I say, I've seen something established me with this lady. You know it's supposed to be the other way around, but I was now teaching God that she's the most beautiful lady from my tribe that I've seen. I went to propose, and the Holy gooes my peace left me. So I ran away and I asked him for six months, what was that? You know, I'm very frank with God. That's how I relate. What exactly was that? What did you do? He did not answer for six months. Six months later, the murder of this lady now called me and said, do you know that is my daughter? Whenever she is angry, she. Will not eat for three days and she will look herself up in the room. We need to come and put food by the door. Then I got the answer to my prayer. I say, yeah, so you okay, okay. So if I've ended up there, you will not have known me, because I would have had family problems enough for you not to know me. Should I tell you something? You think you're smart. Anything you choose, you discover that you choose the serpent. The day you get tired of seek m and it's okay, let me you will enter into the value of the shadow of death. God kept leading David. The Lord is my shepherd. That you do not want. It makes me lie now in green pastols. He leaves me beside the staid waters. He restores my soul. He leaves me in past of righteousness for his namesake. Yeah, then he now felt he knew it. He said, let him try do it was it was not God that let him. He was the one that tried himself out, and he found himself in the valley of the shadow of death. That's what it will do to yourself. You need to stay in church and lead the world. Of God for long. It is when you now understand the voice of Scripture that you can understand the voice of God. I know you didn't hear it, Okay, okay, some of you think you think in English, some of you thinking Zulu. True, you're not for him. Okay, let's let's you think in English. That means your thoughts will be in English. So the Bible is a compendium of the thoughts of God. When you are acquainted with the thoughts of God, it will be easy for you to hear the voice of God. But you see, you will. Need a very heavy dues of the world of God before you begin to think in scriptures, any man that is not disciples cannot fulfill destiny. That's the truth. You will come out like a masquerade and you will not look like your destiny. Have you ever seen someone that wants to play football, then when they brought him to the breaches stomach coss like this. So even though he desires to play football, is not fit to play. A situation can be created wherein you are not fit to fulfill your destiny, as if you refuse to give attention to the world of God to be instructed in it, to study. Until you begin to thinking it. If you know the voice of the scriptures, then you can know the voice of God. I sat down one day one of the guys, the healers, one of the prophets in Africa. I wanted to see the content of what he was saying, because God will first reveal himself to you before he reveals other people to you. Are you there he would reveal. Himself to you firsts before he sends you with messages to give other people. So I said, okay, let me find out if he knows God, and I stayed on for thirty minutes just to find out to articulate he is not a prophet, He's a noisemaker. It should be bounded with fetters and chains. There was not a time when he walked the path. Because all men that work that part, if you see yourself. You look at identica. You must be strong in the world of God, because in that part, the instrument through which God will be speaking to you is the scriptures. He said, from the days of that you that has learned the Holy Scriptures, which is able to make thee wise onto salvation. Then you begin. That means you're interacting with the tops of God, with the tops of God, with. The tops of God, and then to be easy for you to receive the voice of God. So you find people that have not yet interacted with the scriptures enough for them to begin to think in the scriptures, and you believe they can fulfill the great destiny. Those are the people that have put us in a bad light and make people trivialized church. That church say scary. It's because of those guys. And those guys are very loud because they know they don't have anything, so they are paid to be everywhere on social media. So you wake up you are seeing them. You look here, you're seeing them. And then you begin to think, because the program is psychologically to think that, okay, this is how it is. No. No, the endness expectation of the creation is waiting for the manifestations of the sons of God. As the sons of God come on the stage, deception will fall like a pack of cats. Becoming strong in the Lord is not an accident. No no, So this is the sad now the past. Through seeking God will put a weight, a body on your life, something that will require you to pray, something that will require you to first consistently. And the thing, it's easier to cast our devils than to cast these problems out. When your cast that devils is instant, but these kind of problems. Will remain with you. You will exercise yourself. Exercise yourself. It's like going to the gym until you become muscular. In the teens of the Lord. It's just like a woman that wants to get married and she has good ideas about marriage, and then when you come into it, you discover that it's not for emotionally unstable people. It's not yours. Practicized hard facts. You face hard. Situations to stand with a man that is not financially sufficient, and you are then in that condition for five years. All the dreams you had about marriage would die at that point, and then God will need to give you, really educate you on why you are there. If you don't hear God, you're not lost. You're not lost there. You're not lost there. I built a small house. I built a small house, and we just moved to the place. And there's no neighbor close to me in this way, that way, this way. So I mean, just so my. Prayers do not affect anybody. And indeed I pray so I'm not consiing any problem. But people hated me with passion, and many of them were spiritual people with negative powers. They tormented my wife and it was not going to change. So I had to mount talk with wings. There is a body that will not go away. If you tell it, I cast you, it will become bigger because God allowed it so that they can train your muscles. You will first pass through sick hm hm, you would pass through seek. That's how I learned how to pray. I learned her to first I fasted. For years, for years, for years. I'm just trying to tell you that you know that it's not only you that suffering. In fact, you can't even survive what I went to you. You can't survive. It was out of the ashes of my dying. I died to my pride. I died too, you know, I used to feel I was intelligent. I died to all of them. Then a new man came out of the rubble. It is that man that is the prince of power, that has the capacity to lay hold on inheritance. You are too fleshy to be a giant, for like a prince that was power with God and now has prevailed. That's our old champions in the kingdom are made. My wife took in and we're happy. The respected date of the livery had passed and there was no label. I started first, began to pray. Late in the night, I saw a wizard and I'm told him, so, you're the one that will not allow this young girl to give bad the moment I said that label started, you will learn obedience through the things that you will suffer. You know, I'm speaking to songs. This This is language of songs is heavy but if it's pastorial message, God before God all of the world. I also know how to preach that one. I am good in that one. All right, let me show you some characteristics of the path. I will stop at number two. Hi, it's already time out. Okay, number one. I'll stop at number one. Psalm sixteen, yea, Psalm sixteen, verse eleven. Now will show me the part of life. This part leads to His presence. In that presence. Is fullness of joy, and the right hand there are pleasures. The part of life leads to his presence. You will not know what the presence of God is on the you decide to walk that path. If one of the ways you will know the man that has worked the part is that he can someone the presence. When I finish teaching, I will begin to pray. Then I will begin to. I can't teach you that one. It's organic. I will do something, and then the Prince of God will begin to come. God will never hide away from someone that's suffered with him. He will never He's not ashamed of you. He's not ashamed of you. He will always come out when you need his presence. Any time you cry command deliverances onto Jacob. He will show up. He will never be ashamed of a mind. And suffered with him, because the Bible reveals that if we suffer with him, you also be glorified. With him. Now, so let's take inventory the part of life first before we talk about presence. Let's take another scripture Matthew, chapter seven, verse thirteen and fourteen. That will be number one. Then I'll close the Bible. It's the entire year at the straight gate? For why is the gate? And broad is the way that leaded to destruction? And many they be which go thereat? But straight is the gate, and narrow is the way that leaded to what life? You know? The sammon said, wow, will show us what the path that leads to life? Should I tell you something? You don't know the path? It must be shown you. You don't know it. He's not telling us. The symptoms of that path is that it is straight, it is narrow. Oh, you see. The thing about the Holy Ghost is that he will constrain you. He will constrain you. Where arrived at Johannesburg. So we visited the shop to buy a few things, and then the guy in Anken would. Suit it was. It had some very powerful embroiderings of gold, just from so they. Said when they bought it, when they supplied them, that it was the hard mind. This suit. You know what, in my own opinion, if I put on that suit here, I believe it will be a distraction to you instead of people to listen to the world of God. The will you know what, I'm thinking this way because I know that the way is narrow, is narrow, and so begin to work with the Holy Spirit. He becomes narrower and narrower, and the options will no longer be many. If in your life the options are so many, you have not found a part of life. You found other parts, but not the path that leads to life. In a situation, your wife will wrong you, and I am very analytic like you, And then in prayer he will say, go and apologize. I say, what's that? What kind of But that's the part that needs to life. It is narrow, very narrow. Many times you will revote. But if you none consider that you want life, that's the only way the Holy Spirit will constrain, constrain you. So I need to ask you a question. Do you know the constraining power of the spirit of God, the one that will constrain you, not to revenge. You have the power to frustrate somebody's life, but the only spirit will constrain you. In order for that to happen. You will be hurt, yes inside, but he will not heal you again because narrow is the way. The options for you are not many because you don't fight for yourself. That's why God will have to fight for you. That will show us the path of life, the constricted part of the Holy Spirit, what leads you to that place. Where you become a carrier of the presence of God. So a preacher can preach and preach the truth and preach well, but there's no presence accompanying his ministry. He doesn't have the mark of life. The mark of life is that you have been constricted, constrained by. The Holy Spirit, and what it gives you in return is His presence. So I need to ask you, do you know the presence of God? Do you know it? If you don't know it, it means you are still on the broad part the options for your many. God will always appear in the life of a man that has no other God, no other choice, no other strategy. No other wisdom, no other way. If you are stuck with God, he will always show up on your behalf. And it is that presence that we counter that we counteract the. Devil in the day of trouble. This is presence. So the first symptom of this part is that he leads to his presence. But it is a part of life. Let me stop there. We can take number two. Number two is terrible. Have you heard what Jesus told Peter. I said, when you were young, you went anywhere you wanted to go. But now that you are becoming spiritually matured, someone holds you by the hand and it takes you to places that you don't want to go. So your life goes in a direction not of your own choosing, but of his own choosing. That is what it means to be constricted. We need to make a commitment this morning. Lord, Have I submit to your world. I submit to lending your world. I submit to lending at the foot of your spirit. I sub I do it intentionally because I don't want. To enter into the gate that is broad. So there are two kinds of preachers, the ones that preach the broadway and the ones that preach the narrow way, And the reason why they remain as preachers of the broadway is because they know that many more people access that route. So in terms of crowds, in terms of the. Multitude, they will opt for that option because it looks like a cheap root. Even the Bible says many there be that go they're at. Then the guys that preached the narrow way, you will know that if they had a choice, that's not the economic choice to make. They are not preaching because of money. They're preaching because their witnesses. A day will come. When you will thank God for men like this, maybe not in this life, you will thank God for men like this that insisted that you would not be a being of the flesh, insistent that you will grow in the spirit, insisted that you will pray, insist that that you will not waste your life until. You found yourself on the path that leads to life. There is a part that no fire knows. The vultureus eyes have not seen it, the lions wealbs have not todden it, and the fierce lions have not passed by it. I like us to pray, make a commitment to Jesus as the as the capstone of this conference that I'm ready to be laid by you. I'm ready to wait on you. I'm not in a hurry. I want to be shown up so that my navigation want to be accurate, and so that I will not move in the wrong direction. I want my life to count. I want my. Ministry to count. I wanted to strike a card in a penanity. I want to be that man of whom you will be proud cry, because from this day we march. From our country, from our kindred, from our father's house. Into the land that you will saw unto us. For you have done sired, I heard it pans there him, For there you will make us a great mason and give us that passavulassim to rule of la territories, to rule of the kingdoms, to rule of a naissance. Ask me, and I'll give you the hidden. For dine inheritance and the outmost part of the head for that possession. Sophelai copris covan de la bonde. We will walk with you you. Sibabaylah sophilesk Is Coponde abrice a bamondo, Copria la babo, sakut Bantelia I gabruskof la bonde catari, cabrusk, cobolo. Ah, Oh my god, something is opening here. We're gonna speak in tongues for the next five minutes. Something is opening. I take my journey to walk with you. I may not be on the popular side. I may not be in alignment with what is raining in my time. I choose to be detached from my country, from my kindred, from my father's house, so that I can be given a name that you will give on to me. I can be called by your name. I can become your messenger. I can become your man. I can become that one that will fulfill your counsel. Cry on to him, cry on to him. I will not navigate to the Broadway. My part is narrow. I'm stuck with the Holygos. If I ever arrive, it would be because he show me the land. Okay, show me, show me, show me, show me, show me, show me, show me. Show me. I'll never see what's sa libo called bah bah huh and uh he uh. I let you really did oh the uh uh no singing out sigh now ooh uh uh uh he wor ah ah ah you love my day uh oh uh okay m hm. So listen, h I was born into a wealthy family. My dad was a very wealthy man. He was. Top man in government. So I don't know poverty as a child until my dad died. And when my dad died, I was exposed to reality. And God wanted to teach me his ways, so I had to stay with him. My family members don't know how my fees in the university was paid. I don't know. I stayed with him. He moved people. That's why. That's why I length fit, no hope, just with God. He moved people to provide the resources for me to pay fees. He moved people to provide what I we eat. There was a lady that used to run a restaurant on her campus, and she came to me and said she had a dream that someone puts some charms at the door posts today restaurant, and then she saw that I was the only one that could remove the child. I went there and I prayed because sales have dropped. After praying, sales pecked. And she came and told me till you graduate, come and eat here. But I never hit there once, not because my condition had changed, but it is ministry, I did. If I take that food, it will look as if you're paying me for ministry. I refused it. The moment I refused that God was happy and I raised someone. I paid my feest throughout and gave me more money than I've ever seen in my life. That there was no need for me to cook it again till I got graduated. I grew by God from the village. I grew by him, And after fourteen years of waiting, he now said, I will give you the power of revelatory knowledge, and your eyes will be open to see what men will not see in the scriptures. Is that with this power, your voice will behead in Africa and all over the world. Yeah, you will be one of the fathers of the African revivor. He told me that I had nothing. All I had was the Holy Ghost that was navigating me through the witness. That's how princes are forged. That's how this. Relaterary dimension came upon my life. When I go to the scriptures, it begins to connect. Mm hm. You have a unique destining God, but if you are not willing to navigate his path, you will not arrive at the place of your inheritance. All along. What he wanted to give me was revelatory power. But he had to take me through all kinds of stuff. May you arrive Canaan Land. So today when they say ministers are guardian, this is what this is what is running. You will never see me there. Not because I'm proud, because I know God that if I stand with him the way I stood with him in the wilderness, he brought me here. I will not change the people that I work with Him introduces them to be. He said, this is who he is. He's from me. This is deceptor. I've given him heaven. That's how we connect with people because we have not become. Why is that? No, He's still the one that is in the lead. All we do is to follow. If you have not followed him in adversity, you'll not follow him in prosperity. That's how my life changed. I was now ready for a full time Ministry said no, no, no, no, I'm going to give you a job. I said, I'm not asking for a job. He said, it's not about what you're asking for. I will give you a job if I tell you the circumstances under which I got that job. You do not believe because I did not write the altitude test, but my name came out on the list. I know it's hard to believe, but I'm telling you the truth of my life. My name came out on the list. My brother called me that your name has come out somewhere. I do not believe it. I was on the mission field in the Islamic not preaching. When I came, I checked the list. Number one four four was my name. Okay. I walked in. I saw everybody reading. I didn't know where I was supposed to read. Because I'm coming from the field. I don't know anything except Jesus. I sat down in the place and then they brought a coastal boss and they'll call your number. That's how they called one four four. So I stood up and I followed them. They took us to another place where the interview was taking place. You need to see the men on the panel. Wise men had not read anything. When we got to this new place, one guy had so many documents I was reading. So I said, okay, this guy was not the way. So I went to him and asked him to give me one of the documents. Who read for me. Henlyph the anger was on the eye side, so I didn't read anything. Then when I entered, the guy was the first I said that they asked and I read chemistry. He read in those mystery. First question was director to him? He failed and that was the only question that I knew. And then I said, okay, since you read chemistry, continue from the Oh Jesus. Oh, that was the only question I knew. The only one. I mix it with English. They knd of English. The wise men, those wise men, they had glasses like so when I finished speaking, then I putting the glasses. That's how I got the job. And now I said why are you? Why am I here? He said, I would is this in this office. I would train you to become a full blown a possible. It is from you know, the oil industry. We made a lot of a lot of more. But he told me that the reason for the money is that I will pay for my tickets. I'm going to go around Nigeria six times. The campus is preaching the gospel. I did that in twelve years, from campus to campus to campus to campus to campus to campus to campus to campus to campus to. So I don't need your campus. People can't give me a prophet or offering. People said I was crazy that you're going to preach where you will not get back. But it is in those campus meetings that I perfected how they move. Or power was Yes. By the time God started sending me to the nations, Malawi was the first place that I went to. Oh my God, By the time I arrived Malawi, creeple people were working. We had five cripple people walking. One meeting, tatty deaf people ate in one meeting. Please don't don't run away from the dealings. I know it's hard. It's hard for all of us, but that's the way of Sons. For he learned. Obedience through the things that he suffered. It will not be different for any. One of us. Yes, this old family life is hard. My husband is not understanding. Go on your knees, learn how to intercede. Call on the Lord, Call on the Lord. He's misbehavior. You can't cast it out, or you can. You can label and the mighty hand of God will come out. Why don't you want to get a victory from God on your knees. If you don't get it on your knees, you will never know God enough for your life, so you will allow your body that will not just go. That's how strong men are, people that will stand the heat, and no matter what said and does, their heart didn't because they followed God. They heard it. You heard it. I'm telling you we will bring down darkness in discontinent if you come down. Can we pray this morning, make a commitment to him. I'm not going to run away. I will stay with you. I will accept to be discipled. I will sit down and listen to your world and laying your ways. Yeah. I will sit and be built up until my spirit is strong to hear your voice and to receive your leadership. For the Bible says that as many as are laid burry the spirit of God, that's. The definition of what it means to be among the sons of God. Cried to him, Cry to him, I want to release a blessing. Yes, mom, the day of Africa is here and only savious can deliver us. There is a promise that saviors will come from Mount Sire. Men that have been processed by the Holy Ghos, Men. That have been dealt with, and the flesh has been brought into captivity, and now they can't speak by the mouth of car. That day has come. The day has come since the don't run away. Bend your knees and call him, and you will see his bird power, see her more bondingly. Sabody lie a. Bill and almost sick cane mon deboboria saka day roam in a sibo desk in dababon decapris caflabanda. We will stay with you. We must stay with you. Kay okay and no in the uh uh makey gilly okay, oh uh yeah. So the Bible says that the hair as long as it's a child, differs not from a servant. Though heavy Lord of all, you will have a destiny of greatness in God, but it will not manifest. Your designation doesn't change. But the ability to manifest destiny is the issue we're talking about here. It's kept in the hands of tutos, governors, circumstances, situations, so that you will lane what is priority, what is important, and you will give yourself to it. And you will continue this way until the time appointed of the Father. Because the sons of God are revealed in their seasons and in their times. Walk with him. Every son must have to pass through this path. It takes courage to prince this message because what people are used to hearing. Now I breakthroughs. But in the Apostolic house we are builders. We strengthen the flock, so that princess on horseback. We rise from among them. I will not run away, Holy Spirit, it doesn't matter even. Though you slay me. Yet yet I will praise you. I will not run away. He's been difficult, but I will not run away. I will not run away, even though. I am slain. Raised from among the horse princess, Men that you can trust with finances, Men that you can trust, that's what anointing. Men that you can trustworth greatness. Women that you can trust with greatness. Wheresdom from among us. Thank your Father, So let me pray for you. We know that this is your heart cry. You wants us all to navigate through the path that is narrow, the constricted part of the Holy Spirit in. His dealings, in his chastenings. Until that time I pointed to the Father, where you have ordained for us to rule like princes in the earth. I pray for my brothers, especially for those that are in the labors of the ministry. Change our taste boards. Let us despise the current hype that fills the space these days, and stick. To the purity of the calling to build men for Jesus. So that the God of missionary manpower can be filled up and will have food soldiers for the Kingdom of God deployed into every sector. Of human and devil to represent his name. Jesus, we call on your name, that you might look upon us with mercy. Let prices begin to rise, lionesses that understands the will of your father, that we will be normal birbs dos to and throw by every window doctrine. But what if I in Christ Jesus convinize to serve his Wiir. I pray for your servant, the prince that you have placed over this horse causes versus sigh, and the chambers of heaven above. Let great favor swink and grass be giving onto him, that every territory he enter us what darkness, wow, Let darkness give away, give him an increase in the power of your kingdom, that he might be a weakness of your resurrection. In the name of Jesus, I pray for his wife law. That's when we give our wings to mount top like the negres into the heavenlys. To listen on the counsel of God. Grace, be motiplied unto you. For the Lord Jesus is pleased with your life. Gross be motiplied in the name of Jesus, for your eyes will be all good things since.
