Thank him for his faithfulness, thank him for his mercies, Thank him for. His wonder working power in the midst of his people. The Bible says all that man would praise the Lord for his goodness and for his wonderful walks to the children of men. Father will worship you and we bless you tonight. Now ask him for an encounter. Cry from the depth of your heart. I have come, Oh God, give. Me an encounter. Appear onto me like you did in Shiloh, even by your word, someone is brain. Appear onto me by your word. Appear unto me by your work. For timely Sekingdom, the power and the glory forever, laughter. For time seaking, the. Power and the glod forever. The dashers. Just a voice, a sort of. Love, that rember. List of voice to the killing. Let it be so everything good over your life and night. Father, we have come for an encounter tonight. Visit us even by your spirit in the name of Jesus. For the Bible declares that now the Lord is that spirit, and it says where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. Therefore we decree and declare that there is liberty. Tonight there is the hearing of faith and the working of miracles. Unto you be all the glory. In Jesus' name. We pray. Can you appreciate someone by your left and right given as you say that? Allelujah. May the Lord bless you. Good evening everybody. It's good to be in the house of the Lord. Asami said, I was glad when they said, unto me, let us go to the House of the Lord. And for those who. Are coming here for the first time, I welcome you in the name of Jesus Christ. This is Coinonia those who are following us from across the globe. The Lord will do you good tonight. In Jesus' name. I love the teaching of the world because that is. How we grow in the spirit. We grow through understanding. When we are able to design the will of God, we are able to comprehend the ways of God. Then it translates into growth, and with growth comes authority and a greater manifestation of spiritual power in our lives. So the Lord will help us tonight. In Jesus' name, I want to I just decided to take the time to think about what God has done and continues to do through this ministry, and I decided to take the time to sincerely appreciate all those who have helped to get this teaching across to many across the globe, all whether social media platforms, individuals who have become extensions of what we do. In the name of Jesus. May the God of Heaven, who is the reward of men, reward you in Jesus's mighty and much less. Name, we pray. Tonight's teaching is for someone who is tired of his current level. Tonight's teaching is for someone who knows that there is a greater experience in life and destiny. Tonight's teaching is for someone who is determined to fight st nation in his life. Tonight's teaching is for someone who has vowed that the year will not end for you the way it started. If you are that person, I want you to shout a loud amen. Tonight's teaching is for a family that wants to end confusion once and. For all in your lives, and for. Men and women who are desperate you are saying, Lord, you have to crown. My year with goodness and with messes. Tonight is for someone who is tired of shame, tired of reproach, and you are saying there has to be a way out. My life must reveal the glory of God. If that is you, one more time, shout amen, allelujah. The Lord put it in my heart to teach on a subject that I believe affects everyone. Everyone believer. There are teachings that may not necessarily affect everyone, But there are. Certain teachings where you never plant two. As far as having a thorough understanding is concerned, there is always room for growth, and there's always room to rise to higher dimensions. Tonight is one of those teachings. And the Lord who grant us grace in Jesus' name, I'm teaching on the topic. The Lord is my shepherd. Please write it down. Write it down, club, but write it down. We have a lot of work to do. I want to show you, by the integrity of scripture, how God leads men, how men are able to end seasons of stuff nation, how men are able to end seasons of confusion in their lives by accessing the leadings of God. Allelujah for someone. God sends you to church tonight because He has vowed that. You must go forward in the name of Jesus Christ. And by all means I speak to you as touching disgrace. You must make progress. You must go forward in the name of Jesus Christ. Proverabs four, Verse eighteen. The Bible says, but the. Path of the just is as the shining light that shined more and more onto the perfect day one most Scripture Job eighth and verse seven. Job chapter eight and verse seven, the Bible says, though thy beginning was small, it says, yet thy later end should greatly increase. So clearly we're seeing scripture that there are no limits for the believer in Christ. As far as actualizing destiny is concerned, revealing the glory of God and bearing. Fruits, there is no limit for the believer. The Bible is also clear as to the fact that God is glorified when we make progress. God is glorified when we advance, and God is glorified when we maximize destiny. In John chapter fifteen, John fifteen, from verse eight, then we go to verse sixteen. It says, hearing is my Father glorified that ye bear much fruit. So the Father is glorified when we bear much fruit. So shallly be my disciples. Go to verse sixteen. It says, you have. Not chosen me, but I have chosen you and ordained you that you should go and bring forth fruit, and that your food should remain. So. God is glorified when we advance. God is glorified when we make progress in life in all of its dimensions. God is glorified when we maximize destiny in efficiency of the three. When you read from verse ten three ten efficients, it says to the intent that now onto principalities and powers in heavenly places might be made known by the Church the manifold wisdom of God. So it is not angels that will reveal. The multifaceted wisdom of God. It is the Church, manifesting in her glory, that reveals the manifold wisdom of God. Allelujah. The subject of stagnation and limitation. Is one that everyone dreads. I do not know anyone who embraces the idea of being limited us that needed in life. We all want to make progress, and to the degree to which we make progress, we find fulfillment. In fact, psychologists will tell us that one of the clear indices that measure fulfillment is a sense of progress that every time you find yourself in a sense of limitation, reprogression, and the worst of them, stagnation, it is able to dry up the spirit to a point where an individual even gives up. There are people today committing suicide. There are people today in hospitals depressed because. They do not think that there is much to their lives. Again, they have done everything they know to do and exhausted all their options. As far as making progress is concerned, I am convinced that no matter how confused, everyone is sincerely doing what they know to do as far as making progress is concerned. Tonight God is going to grant us grace in Jesus' name, Allelujah. Psalm twenty three. It's a very interesting psalm. This is the psalm of David, and most of his psalms where his contemplations will begin. A reading from verse one. The psalm is said, the Lord is my shepherd, and as a result, I shall not want. There are many things the Bible tells us that the Lord is. For instance, the Bible says he. Is our ever present help in time of need. The Bible says the name of the Lord is a strong tower. The writers who run to it and be saved, and all of the dimensions of God's names. Remember I have taught you here that God is multi dimensional in his operations. Are we together that what one dimension will do is not what the other will do. So here the Bible says, the Lord is my shepherd. He said, I shall not once. Let's read it down to six, and then I'll begin to teach him. Naked me to lie down in green pastures. He leaded me beside the still waters the street says, he restored my soul. He leaded me again in the parts of righteousness for his namesake. Verse four says, Yay, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will not fear. I will fear no evil. Why for thou art with me. Your leadership is my security, even at times of uncertainty, It says. Thy Rod and thy staff they comfort me. Verse five, Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies. Thou anointed my head with oil. My cop runne over. Verse six. Now surely. The days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever and ever so. The Psami says, the Lord is my shepherd. In other words, when you find me making progress, triumphing from one level of grace to the other, it is not because I know so much. It is not because I am invinciable to all the impediments that stop men from making progress, but that, among the many things I have found God to be, I have discovered that He can be shepherd. This talks about his leadership. There are many reasons why people fail in life. There are many reasons why people are stagnated in life. In fact, I looked up the word stagnation while preparing my notes for this salmon, and I wrote down a few things here, just to put our minds on the same page. Write the word stagnation. The word stagnation has many meanings, but I coined out a few that I thought would give us light and understanding even as we proceed. I wrote down here that stagnation is a condition that. Is marked by lack of movement. Please write stagnation is a condition that is marked by lack of movement or progress. Stagnation is a condition that is marked by lack of movement or progress. Stagnation also means a state of inactivity, a state of inactivity, having life but without motion, very terrible description, having life but without motion. So one more time, stagnation is a condition that is marked by lack of movement or progress, a state of activity, having life but with no motion, allelujah. This arguably is about the number one reason why people do not make progress in life. People are in that state of inactivity, and there are many factors. Number one is ignorance. Ignorance is biblically the first reason why people do not move, because. Knowledge is represented in light, and you are only able to move to the degree to which you see, so ignorance. Number two, we have demonic activities, allelujah. Paul said, I desire to come to you even eye Paul once and again is that, but Satan hindered us. So we know that demon's spirits can hinder the advancement and the progress of people. But the third reason, which is my concern for tonight, is the sense of divine direction, the leadings of God. The inability to access the leadings of God is aduably about the greatest, in my opinion, the greatest explanation for the helpless tagnation of many. No matter what kind of vision you have, no matter what kind of great destiny you have before you the inability to access and to understand the leadings of God part time, pert season, per moment, may keep you stagnated. For a very very long time. And may tonight the service of deliverance for someone. In the name of Jesus Christ, I am praying for you that through my speakings, God is going to be speaking expressly to you, maybe to a man of God, maybe to a couple, maybe to a family, maybe. To someone you just came. At this point in your life, you don't even know if to go left or to go right, or to remain there. You're not even sure of what to do. May you find direction tonight in the name of Jesus Christ. So I want you to pay attention. Write this down. Please to fulfill your assignment and your divine destiny. To fulfill your assignment and your divine destiny, you need. To be guided and led by God. To fulfill your divine assignment or your assignment and your divine destiny, you need to be guided and led by God. It is impossible, ladies and gentlemen, to actualize destiny to God's standard and God's specification outside of access to His guidance and his leading those we call great in the Kingdom today are not great based on. Anything necessarily that they have within themselves. They may be very weak people who. Have mastered the art of accessing the leadings of God, and they triumph from one level of results even to the other. Why do we need the leadings of God even at such a time as this? Confusion is part of the limitations in all men? Confusion. Write that word down, please, Confusion is part of the limitations in all men. Provided you are a man carrying flesh and blood and bones. Confusion is part of the limitations of all men. It's not an insult. It's an attempt to describe his date of man outside of the assistance of God. I said, to fulfill your divine. Destiny and your assignment, you will need to access the guidance and the leadings of God. And then that confusion is part of the limitations in all men. Allelujah? Are we together now? Very very important? You see in life? Please look up, Let me have your attention. I wrote down here that our decisions in life are usually based on the information we have and our current levels of exposure. This is the start with all men. Decisions decide destiny like doctor Mudok who say, however, your decisions are predicated upon the level of knowledge, the orientation you have at any given time. As powerful as that is, it is a risk because your growth is transitory. That means you can make a decision today. Using the level of orientation and knowledge you have to day, and only find out after fifteen. Years that you did not make a superior decision. It means then you have to outsource a dimension of intelligence that is higher than your level. Of exposure or your orientation. I wish together now. It's amazing how that as you grow in leadership, as you grow in age, as you grow in life, as you grow you know in several kinds of responsibilities, your priorities change. Is that true? Your orientation changes, and so on and so forth. I remember years ago as children, there used to be this hairstyle called punk my people remember and if the makes a mystic and ruins your one week by getting the measurement wrong and the styling wrong, can your one week can be ruined and frustrated because someone was not sensitive to the times. But it is amazing right now that as I sit down for them to barb me usual they am sleeping It takes a lot of patience from the barber, because any opportunity to not do anything for five ten minutes is converted to sleep. Just bab whatever you need to bib, and allow me prepare. I'm just saying that our priorities change as we rise, as we grow in leadership. Away together. Now you can. See a woman of sixty years old walking and her shoe caught, and she carries the one that is not working well and keeps walking, no embarrassment whatsoever, no explanation whatsoever. She will walk home with joy and confidence and say, look at what happened. I started trekking from. Here to this place. But let that happen to a young lady. Of twenty one, twenty two, twenty three, and that is an attack. She may even go for deliverance and say, no, it has to be the devil for. This level of embarrassment. If you look back at your decisions now, ten fifteen years ago, I am sure from the lens of your growth, your maturity, your increasing knowledge, there are many things you probably would not have approached the way you did. Is that true? That means that, depending on the scope of your understanding now, to make all of your decisions is a risk because growth is progressive. It means in the next five to ten years, the world is going to change, and. You do not know how far it will change. Your knowledge is going to grow and increase, and you do not know how far what level of ignorance you have. Now you only test how bad your ignorance is in the presence of superior knowledge. Are we learning already? We are very very limited as men. I know that we're an arrogant species, and. It is not very easy for us to admit these kinds of things. But I am telling you, based on the integrity of Scripture, all men are limited. Jeremiah chapter one, give us eleven and twelve. Please Jeremiah Chapter one, eleven and twelve. Moreover, the word of the Lord came on to me. Saying, Jeremiah, what sees thou? And then Jeremiah said, I see the rod of an almond tree? Verse twelve is my verse of emphasis. Then said the Lord onto me, thou hast well. Seen that means a man can see wrongly? Is that true? To see means to perceive? For I will hasten my word to perform it. He says in Luke chapter eleven from verse thirty foe thirty five. Jesus was giving a word of caution, and is said, the light of the body is the eye. It is that death. Or when than eye is single, that whole body is full of light. But when your eye is evil, thy body is full of darkness. Thirty five. It says, take heed, therefore that the light which is indeed be not darkness. That means you can carry darkness for decades believing it is light, until you see the true light. Allelujah. There is a desperate need for the leadings of God, especially you see. Listen and gentlemen. When you get to a point in your life where you now become a leader over others, when many people trust your intuition and they trust your leadership, perhaps you are a see of a company here, you're a man of God leading a ministry. You are a father, a mother, You are a leader of any kind of sort. It is a risk to take steps into this's. World with assumptions, because you see, you will not only destroy yourself, you will destroy maybe ten hundred thousands of others who follow you with on bending loyalty. It is a risk to leave people using just instincts alone. This. All of these emotional expressions are useful, but the reality of the times will require us to. Master the guidance and the. Leadings of the spirit. Allelujah. One of the things that defines a righteous man, or a good man, as the Bible calls it, is the ability to have his steps ordered. Give us some thirty seven Place twenty three and twenty four Psalms thirty seven, twenty three and twenty four. I pread this scripture for you in the name of Jesus. It says, the steps of a good man the word good year and many other versions, is a righteous man. The steps of a good man, the Bible says, are ordered by the Lord, not just ordered by his brain, not just ordered by his age. The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and he delighted in his ways. Twenty four. It says, though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down, for the Lord upholding him with his hand. The steps of a good man, the Bible says, are ordered by the Lord. Now you look at that against. The scripture that says Probabs Sixteen twenty five Prohabs. Sixteen twenty five, that there is a way that cemeath right onto a man, someone says, cemeath rights one more time, cemath right. But the end. Thereof are the ways of death. You can see a part that looks like the path to victory, the path to glory, and you will religiously follow that part, only to find out. That you've gotten yourself in trouble. I forbid that over your life in Jesus' name. Does the Bible give us the portrait of what a life looks like when it is under the influence of the leadership of God. Yes, the Toonomy thirty two, from. Verse ten to thirteen. This is a Biblical portrait of how God leads men and what happens to a. Life and a. Destiny that submits to the guidance and the leadings of God. The Touonomy thirty two ten were reading to thirteen. He found him in a desert land. So notice where he found him in a desert land, and the Bible says, and in the waste hauling wilderness, the waste hauling wilderness. He led him. About, He instructed he and kept him as the apple of his eye. As an eagle, taread off her. Nest fluttereth over her young spreaded abroad, her wings, taken them, buried them on their wings Verse twelve. The Bible says, so the Lord alone did lead him, and there was no strange God with him. That means there was no plan being. It was not God and a charm. It was not God. And somebody somewhere the Lord alone led them, And the Bible says, as a result, he made him to ride on the high places. Where did he find him? In the desert and in the wilderness, And by the leadings of God, look where this man has arrived at. Now. He made him to ride upon. The high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields. And he made him to sock honey out of the rock and oil out of the flinty rock. Use your imagination for a moment and compare this man, the man who is in the wilderness, wallowing in confusion, maybe under curses and all kinds of things, versus a man right now hiding writing on his high places, experiencing increase in every dimension, sucking honey out of the rock and oil out of the flinty rock. May that be you in Jesus name, you. Know believe me, I've been concerned, especially over the last one week. Did you know that over eighty percent, arguably of the emails and the text messages I received is about people praying over financial conditions. Or some kind of conditions. Of stagnancy that is bringing pain, reproach and embarrassment to their families. I had to take it to God in prayer to say, Father, place, something needs to be done to the body of Christ. This level of stagnation, this level of incapacitation. Does not bring glory to the. Lord is because we're a generation that have over depended on brain work and just the intellect as against the simplicity and the childlikeness of the leadings of God. He took him from a desert and began to lead here. The leadings of God will always look like foolishness until you begin to see the glory that comes from his leadings. There are many of you right now. You can literally trace your lives and your destinies to the leadings of God. You can look at where you were as a man of God. Allelujah. You know. Sometimes I was talking to a gentleman not too long and when he told me the wonderful things that were happening in his life. Now, I made reference to a few things I told him many years ago. I told him about the excellency of intimacy with the Holy Spirit and the ability to follow the leadings of God. And he was saying, Apostle, thank you. It didn't make sense then, but look what is made out of my life. Now you can know that you have submitted. Yourself to the leadings of God. Because please hear me, If it is the God of the Bible that leads you, I don't care what you meet on the way. The end of it will always be beauty and glory. God is speaking to someone, because right now you just know you are lad of God. But Lord, where are we going? I do not know? Can I tell you? When God leads people, you can be sure you will take you from a betact you see when you are driving for over ninety eight percent, help that, gentleman, for over nineteen eight percent of the journey, you will not see your destination. But you need to trust the. Driver for you, lead you and guide you to the city. Papa Heal, lead and God to your place and destiny. God is leading you. And for those of you who are not sure, pay attention so that you can verify whether it is God leading you or is a demon spirit leading you, because there are many people who are obediently following demons spirits, believing Satan can appear as an angel of life, and many to let your sincerity. There are many people today who believe it is God that is leading them, but the results we are seeing do not carry the signature of God. Used tonight's tachingto. VERI five so that you can switch loyalty in case you have submitted to a false voice. Allelujah. God leads men, but we need to understand what it takes and the dynamite of the leadings of God. What are the keys that we must engage if we want to be led of God and led by God. Tonight I will give us five And please, every time. I call us to pray, because we're going to be praying as I teach, I want you to pray with all your heart, even when. I request that you do so. It is true that God leads, but you're seeing God does not lead everybody. Unfortunately, he wants to lead everybody. Everybody, especially in Christ, can have access to the guidance and the. Leadings of God. But there are conditions that must be met, otherwise you can never truly enjoy the leadings of God. Are you ready? Write this down first in. Your heart before you pen it down on paper. Number one. The first key to enjoying the chepherdhood the leadings of God is admit that you are limited. Please write it down. The first key to enjoying and accessing God as your shepherd is to admit that you are limited. First Corinthians, chapter three. And verse nine. The Bible clearly tells us there that we First Corinthians, chapter thirteen, not three my Apologists thirteen and verse nine. First Korintians, are still limited. We pride in all kinds of things that traveled to Europe have traveled to America. I have a PhD. And that is wonderful. I'm a professional in this aspect of persons. The meek, the Bible says, will he guide in judgment, not the needy, not the one who is in need of guidance, the meet You know what it means to be meek. Meekness is a is a spiritual quality. Is a state of brokenness where you understand that I am limited. Another word for meekness is teachability. Allelujah, the ability to be teachable. Lord, I thank you for that which you have given me, but I admit I do not know everything. Please give us that sculpture again. The meek will he guide in judgment, and it says the meek will he teach his ways? So could it be that the reason why many people are unable to access the leadings of God and the ways of God is because there is a desire to know what there is no meekness. Admit that you are limited as a man of God, Admit that you are limited as a business man. Admits that you are limited. Admit answers to the difficult thing for us, especially in our civilization today, because psychologically, for many of us, we translate admitting limitations to mean that we are mediocre, to mean that we are not much. So everybody likes to give. A give an attitude of invincibility. To the degree to which you give a picture of a superman, that seems to be the degree to which a generation will listen to you and be loyal to you. Unfortunately, as far as Destiny's concern, that is absolute nonsense. Jesus, who was the word incarnate, as soon as he arrived by. Age twelve, with no sense of. Shame and embarrassment, he matched straight to the temple to go and leard. You would think this was the person that the scripture was all about. Imagine Jesus sitting in the temple and listening to them. This was the word of God bound in earthly flesh. I can imagine the doctors of the loss. And do you understand this, young man? And he says, yes, sir, the meek, will he guide. For someone here? God is already speaking to you. The reason why you have not been able to make progress is pride, the inability to come before the Lord and say, Father, I do not know much. Will you teach me? What's that song? Stir rely me? Wear my trust? Help me? Let me all the. Leadings of God. You must admit that you are limited. Father. Thank you. In spite of the Bible school, in spite of the seminary, in spite of all the books. That I've read, I come before. You expressing my ignorance and my limitations. Except you lead me, I cannot lead these great people. You see why the request of Solomon touched the heart of God. How do you come to a man in the night? And now give him an open check. Solomon would have said that there are frank kings that have threatened me. Oh, God, kill them for me. Give me rest. Solomon said, I am but a young man. I do not have the ability to leave these so great a people. Would you grant onto your servants and understanding hers? And the Bible says God was impressed, He. Was touched for someone here. If you will only humble yourself before the mighty hand of God, even now the remaining days of this year, what God will do. In your life will work many years. Put together the meat will he guide. There are many proud men of God. There are many proud business people. There are many people failing woefully, and yet they will not listen and open up their art to see. The need to be guided. There are people who are poor and broke, and they will not listen the moment you want to talk about money. They want to contribute as colleagues. You are not getting it. It's not working in your life. There are people who are not doing well in ministry. As a principle, any area. I don't have so much results. I'm usually silent. I don't I don't. I only speak from the abundance. Of knowledge with results. Our world today is full of commentators commentators without results. When you know how football is and so does the past. Now the person who is talking now has not been able to achieve anything, and yet he's insulting someone whose weekly payment is this lifetime desire. Are we together? Now? You must admit. Someone is having a small business. For instance, maybe you are just selling two or three itms and only five people come to buy it, and now you are giving all kinds of I think shop right, can do like this? I think this one can? This will good? You're not really very wise if he was me, And yet you have your own result there and absolutely nothing is working. Can I tell. You, in the name of Jesus, I pray that anything that represents pride eating up your potential for rising to in the next level, I cast it from your life right now. The meek will he guide in judgments. There are people who don't know anything about marriage, yet they are the first to command on everything. They are the first to give lectures and give all kinds of orientation. There are people who don't know anything about finances and favor. There is zero manifestation of favor, not who are not too zero, and yet they can say anything about favor. There are people who don't know jack about their annoyting, and yet they will want to teach. You dimensions and dynamics. And those who are really annointed are just hearing and watching the gap in knowledge Danish. With pride, it's God helping someone. You must admit that you are limited. That is not negative confession. It is not demeaning what God has done in your life. With brokenness, there is something I do not know. Lord guide me the meek. Will he guide the moment. I've taught you this. When God finds humility and finds brokenness something there has to be something about this my financial situation, I've. Done my best. Your best does not mean that it's all to be done. It is just the best you know based on your knowledge. Do you know? Let me tell you ignorance. Some pride can make simple things so difficult, so difficult. A post where I can drive, Okay, Lets someone who can drive help you? No, no, no, I've been driving for a long time. It once I've not had the opportunity to go to the road. Just give me the car. You come back with two headlamps ports that you are just a slight mistake. You cannot you are not getting this thing. It's as simple as. That a post where I can cook three hours. Worth room around in the kitchen. Nothing is done, nothing is set. You are not even to show again of what you are doing. It was not a mistake. I think the stuff or the our standard of knowledge in this ministry is mystery until you are there. You are not here there. Don't say I know to what degree are we together? Now? Yes, admit that you are limited. As a man of God, spirit of the Living God, I cry for your wisdom. I admit I do not know. I am limited. I can learn, I can do this, but I am limited. The Lord is ni them that call upon you humility number two very quickly is someone learning what is the second key to assessing the leadings and the guidance of God. Pray endestly for divine direction. Pray endestly for divine direction. Listen when it has to do with direction. It is a risk to assume the devil can open a door for you, that you will think it is God. I've taught you. Even the prison has a door. Before you enter the prison, a door must be opened. So just because a door is open, you need to verify way. That door is going. There are some doors that are going into prison. Pray endestly for divine direction. First, some wells after tatty and verse eight. First somewhere thirty and verse eight and badd inquired of the Lord, saying, shall I pursue after this troop? I hope you know the man who is speaking was a warrior already had the accental to bring victory. What he said, no assumption. Shall I puss you after this troop? Shall I overtake them? And the Lord answered him, pursue, for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover. It is powerful when you are running with the shoreward. You don't sit challenges on your way because you know that God listen. It is vain it to wake up in the morning is that in your Bible? And to sleep late in the night only to eat the bread of sorrow. Just because you have money does not mean you shoul start business. No, the presence of capital is not a green life to start. No, we make all kinds of flensing mistakes, and we keep repeating it. That's why God has sent you to the house of God. Can I tell you when you are physically prepared, you stand the risk of making more mistakes because all the factors are there, chances are excellence. You will not respect the excellency of his voice. Shall I pursue? Shall I overtake? And the Lord says, since you pay attention to my leadings, go ahead and pursue. You shall surely overtake and without fail recover all. You must pray endestly for divine direction. And there are two ways you hear from God in prayer. Write it down, please number one through the light from scripture. So that will be two. A light from scripture. This is the first way God speaks to men in the place of prayer. Sam one one nine. I believe Vers one o five. Please give it to us. That word is a lamb onto my feet and a. Light to my path. So God speaks to you by giving you light from scripture. It's someone learning now light from scripture in the place of prayer, serious prayer, not prayer and browsing. Not prayer and watching movie. You are just watching the part you don't like. You quickly pray while you are with no no I mean has felt prayer when your spirit man is a tune. Pay attention to the scriptures dot com. Sometimes they can the scriptures. Ordinarily you would not have remembered. You see that, but it just chunks up from the spirit. Is it time to write it down? What could God be saying? God speaks to us when we pray through the light that comes from scripture. And then number two, he speaks to us through the voice of his spirit. If I attached twenty one, I hope you know God speaks to men. Yes he does. And then years shall hear a word behind these saying this is the way? What ye in it? When you turn to the right hand, and when you turn to the left, shall hear a voice? In John sixteen and verse thirteen, please give us John sixteen and verse thirteen, Jesus was teaching, and he says, how be it? When he the Spirit of truth is come. The Bible says, he will guide you into all truth. For he shall not speak of himself, but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak. So the Holy Spirit speaks, he speaks. He guides. The Bible says, the Spirit speak it expressly. Pay attention to the speakings of God when you pray. Most times when you hear God and is not in the place of prayer. The imagine of error is very, very wide. Let me tell you, because you see the hastiness that comes from the daily activities, transis. Are excellent that what you thought you heard may not have been God. So Number one, the first key to assessing the leadings of God is you must admit that you are limited and in need of His leadership. Number two, you must pray earnestly for divine direction. Number three, you must open up your heart for supernatural encounters. You must open up your heart for supernatural encounters. One of the ways that God leads men is by granting them access to supernatural encounters. Please write it down. You must open up your heart for supernatural encounters, particularly dreams and visions. Please write it down. You must open up your heart for supernatural encounters, particularly dreams and visions. Look up, ladies and gentlemen, can I tell you this. I don't know what has happened to your dreams and visions, but tonight, in the name of Jesus, let's hear the correction of it. There are certain heights that when you get to and your dreams and visions have not been. Purified, you will destroy yourself and destroy others. Dreams are powerful prophetic channels that communicate the leadings of God or the why Satan will not be interested in your dreams. I can tell you he knows what is contained in dreams and visions. Genesis forty one. Let's read the first seven verses Genesis chapter forty one. Please. And it came to pass the end of two full years that Pharaoh dreamed, and behold he stood by the river, reading to seven, And behold, there came up out of the river seven well favored kind and fat flesh, and they fed in the middle. Uh huh, these three, And behold seven other kind came up after them out of the river, ill favored andlean fleshed, and stood by the other kind upon the brink of the river. Pharaoh is dreaming now, And the ill favored and lian fleshed kind did each of the seven well favored one, And Pharaoh awoke. He slept again, and he dreamed the second time. I hope you know this was a revelation of something that had a national economic implication. So why would God Susor reveal something that had that gravity amid a whole nation could be wiped in famine. And God, so dreams respect dreams. Are we together? He dreamed the second time, and behold, seven years of corn came up on one sock rank and good six, And behold seventeen years blasted with the east wind sprung up after them. Final verse. Now it says, and the seventeen years devote the seven rank and full years. And Pharaoh awoke, and behold it was a dream. There are many things that we have called dreams, but they are prophetic blueprints for the next two, three, four, five, ten years of our lives, sometimes warnings, sometimes green lights, but because we have not been able to discern next year. I have a series on prophetic experiences, dreams, visions, angelic encounters. I want to teach you these things so that you will understand. You have to be able to understand the place of dreams, visions, and even prophetic experiences. If you're learning, say amen. In Exodus chapter three, give us from verse two to five, Exodus three, two to five, watch this now, the Bible says, and the Angel of the Lord are cleared to him. The hymn been Moses. Now in a flame of fire, out of the midst of a bush, and he looked and behold the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. Verse three, he says, and Moses said, I will now turn aside and see these great size while the bush. Help me now my screen. Why the bush is not burned? Verse four. Now it says, and when the Lord saw that, he turned aside to see. God called him out of the midst of the bush and said Moses, Moses, and he said, here am I. Verse five he says, drawn night, draw not nigh here off thy shoes, for the place where thou standards is holy ground. So he used a vision, a prophetic experience. Remember that was the one encounter that turned a moderer to become a deliverer. Many have ignored supernatural encounters. In First King, Chapter three, from verse four, this was the encounter of Solomon. Now always inspires me every time I read this. The King went to give you on, the Bible says, and sacrifice. There, for that was a great high place. A thousand bunch offerings did Solomon offer upon the altar. Verse five, it says, in give youon, the Lord appeared to Solomon. How so God can appear to men through dreams, and God said, ask what I shall give thee verse six. And Solomon said, in the dream God is asking him in a dream. He's replying in a dream. Imagine if you were Solomon's wife, you went to bed onely see you in the morning, and while you are sleeping, turning hist and west, and all the things people do when you're sleeping. You know, people can turn literally. One eighty degrees while you're sleeping and not even be aware. They just get up and know that the pillow is. People sleep in all kinds of interesting ways. While all that drama is happening in man is encountering the God of the Bible in. A very destiny defining way. The wisdom that he would wake up with would be what would distinguish him as the wisest man that ever leaves. And yet God, choose a dream. That has shown on to your servant great kindness and all of that, and all of that. And he asked him for several things. Let's go to the starting for sake of time, Let's just do thirteen to sixteen. And then will end. He answered him and said, because you have not for the life of your enemies. I have given you understanding like no other person has got. And then it says, and I have also given thee that in now, that which. Thou hast not asked, both riches in the dream. Now, how do you give riches in a dream? How do you give honor in a dream? So that there shall not be any among the kings? Like onto thee all your days? Fourteen it says, And if thou will walk in my way still in the dream, and keep my statards and my commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I will lengthen your days long life still in the dream. Last verse please of verse fifteen. Now and Solomon I woke. So it was a dream. And behold again the Bible says it was a dream, and it came to Jerusalem and stood. Before the act of the Lord and offered a burnt offerings, and offered. Peace offerings, and made a feast to all his servants. That means he said, let's dance and rejoice. And the people say, wow, the King is in a good mood, not knowing that a transaction has happened in a dream. Who did did that? Throughout this year God has been trying to transact realities with men. It is not only when you come to church like this, ladies and gentlemen. Every time you go to sleep seat as an opportunity to step into a ram where destinies are defined. Because you do not know these demons are also waiting with your package. It's like a menu share intimidation. And the moment you lay your head there you are in. Secondary school, write in a demonic exam that you will never pass or that never finishes. And if there is anybody here under the sound of my voice going through those wicked experiences seeing yourself in a former house, write in exams that never finish. In the name of Jesus Christ, I declare you are delivered right now. Ho ership. Will rate or to his kid in my life, Holy we can access the leadings of God when we are open to supernatural encounters. In Matthew chapter three, please give us verse thirteen. This one just stopped me seriously because it concerned Jesus himself. I hope you know that when Jesus was born, he could die. I hope you know that Matthew two from verse thirteen. The Bible says. Matthew two not three two two and verse thirteen. And when they were departed the magi. Now remember the magi came to just pay homemade to Jesus, little baby Jesus. Now, Baby Jesus could die. If he could not die, God would not answer that they run away with him. So don't you say, Jesus safe sin Us. He had to be alive to be able to save sin Us. He was going to die. But if he died, I say, baby, your sins would not be saved. That would just be obituary, not salvation. And when they were departed, behold an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph how in a dream again, saying, our eyes take the young child and his mother and flee into Egypt. Look at the exactly, look at the details. Our eyes take the child. And he told him where to go to. He would have said, arise on away. What if he ran to report to Herold. Herold say you're welcome. There's a room here for you. But you and a child with them, it's not enough to say God told me to move to where he is spoked to him. He said, arise and flee into Egypt. Then here now, he said, I'm this out there until I come to you again with the world, my God. May God restore the accuracy office, leaving. May God restore the accuracy office, leaving in the name of Jesus Christ. A man goes to bed. Joseph was a weak, ordinary man. He would have died, Jesus would have died, and the entire plan of redemption would have been aborted. When you see the. Excellence of their parenting, it was not because they were superior parents. They didn't go to parents counseling. They only knew how to hear. Maybe God is speaking to a family here. Your ability to hear concerning your children will really be the key to the horizon. Thank God for all the intellectual systems that help to feed your mind, but nothing will replace the accuracy of the hearing of You can give back to a child, and God comes to you and say, this child is so tend to be a prophet to the nations. Take him to a missionary school in Legos or in a Budja. You have had the world. No matter what confusion comes, you will say, I know God said this, keep that scrapture, please remain there until I bring you word. And He told him why, for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. Next verse, when he arose, He took the young child and his mother by the night and departed. How do you get off from a dream and do exactly what you saw? The kind of dreams we are having now? If you do everything in your dream, you would have been dead by now, because our dreams are so weak and not purified by the power of God. You dream, and you see yourself chilling your mother. If you get up and do the same thing, would she die? You see how set and has I judge our dreams because of insensitivity? May there be restoration this night? You may say, Okay, a person, I'm not inclined towards the prophetic. I may not have the hearing eye under seeing here. But a dream is a blessing that God gave every man. All you need to do is to sleep. Please help them give us that scripture. Let's finish it please now. Verse fifteen, the Bible says, and he was there as he was directed by the dream until the death of Herold, that it might be fulfilled that which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet that out of Egypt I have called my son supernatural experiences. I shared with you my encounters when in twenty thirteen I think. It was preparing and. Hoping, just trying to see if it was possible to come down to Abuja. And the word of the Lord just came with a very serious encounter a plane that lifted from Zariah. It was written here and I on his way to Abuja. Just when it was about to learn it crashed that one. The dream was straightforward. I went together. It was the reason why in twenty eighteen, when the Lord came to me and began to speak to me about moving to Abuja, it took me three years. I struggled with the voice of God. Verifications upon verifications, because best means will be part of that decision. There are decisions you don't make carelessly except you are selfish Allelujah. There are people who just get up and say, I feel like. Living my job. What happens to your five children? How do you feel like living your job? I feel like driving my wife, I feel like having three more children. We don't listen to God and you find out that the three more children you have are the ones that give you a headache. Because God, let's stop. You didn't here are we together? It's an uncomfortable message tonight, but open up your heart to listen. Please open up your heart to listen, because we are going to pray tonight, and one of the prayer points we pure refine my experiences so that there are no confusions every access that the devil has to my dreams and my Because I. Don't have time, I'm not teaching on this. I'm just teaching it as a byproduct of the leadership of the spirit. Otherwise I would have told you there is something called lying visions. Many today as since here are. Victims of this, a combination of your emotions and an advantage that demons have taken me and many people have been manipulated today. It is maritally financially. There are people in all kinds of confusions. This is why we need to understand the accuracy and the leadings of God. The are lying spirits that spoke to people in dreams. Your father is about to die, that company is yours, and the boy just sees that is waiting. Every day. I know what I have. There are people today. This is by reason of what I do. I am amazed at the things people do and the confidence there. They tell you that God spoke to me, and when you vetch them you will truly know they have from the spirits, except that by judging from the lens of scripture, it was something else. But as far as their conviction is concerned, they had the right to be that convicted because of the clarity of what came to them. But when you judge it from the lens of scripture, it was not God. Please listen carefully, and. You can be a prophets and stilled in error. Not follow me. I'm a good pilot, well flying highboy, will land safe in the name of Jesus Christ. Supernatural encounters. I know somebody that I once prayed and Minister Deliver runs to a lady. This lady got up and started running out of the house, going through some liver and you know, and she said, voices speak. Do you know how many people have committed suicide today? And they will tell you A voice said, chill your self, chill your wife. No, you judge the speakings of God against the integrity of scripture. But ladies and gentlemen, if you have not opened up your hands to the realm of dreams and visuals, there is a dimension of. The leadings of God that you may be robbing yourself off and we're. Going to praise to night. Some of you do not have access to dreams. It's the blessing and the privilege to all the saints in Christ, and some of you. Our dreams have been corrupted. All kinds of spirits have manipulated our dreams. We lie down and we get up and have all kinds of leadings. We follow those leadings sincerely, but the end result shows that it was not God. If someone learning number four, how do we access the voice of God? What are the many ways that the Bible teaches? What is one of them? Number three? Supernatural encounters? Number four? Are you ready now? One of the ways that God leads us in principle is through counsel from authorities. Especially spiritual authorities. Please write it down, counsel. You can access the leadings of God by opening up yourself. To receive counsel from spiritual authorities. Fathers, mentors, elders, men with results and experience. They all form part of this group, and they have ended the rights to be able to give counsel. Proverbs Chapter one, from verse one, follow me patiently as we read the proverb of Solomon, the son of David, King of Israel. Verse two is says, to know wisdom and instruction, to perceive the words of understanding. Three, to receive the instruction of wisdom, justice and judgment and equity. Verse four, to give subtilty to the simple and to the young man knowledge and discretion. That is the intent of the Book of Proverbs. Now it says, the wise. Man will hear and increase learning, and a man of understanding shall attain onto wise counsels verse six, to. Understand a proverb and the interpretation the words of the wise and their dark sayings. Seven it says, the share of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. But fools despise wisdom and instruction. Eight, my son, a father is speaking to a son. Now Here the instruction of thy father and forsake, not the law of thy mother. Is someone learning verse nine. For they shall be an ornament of grace onto your head, and change about your neck. That means they will bring you on on, my son. If seeing us enticety, this is council coming from a father. Consent down notes next verse. If they say, come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us look privily for the innocent without cause. This is a young man naively exploring life and destiny, and the father saying, these are the options you will find on the way. When you see these options manifest, remember the counsel of a father. He said, consent down not twelve. Let us swallow them up alive as the grave, and hold as those that go down to the pits. We shall find all pressure substance, and we shall. Fill our houses with spoil. Fourteen. Cast in thy lot among us. Let us all have one purse. Fifteen. Now we're reading to nineteen. It says, my song, walk not dow in the way with them. God is speaking to a song through the wisdom of authority. Refrain thy food from their path, it says verse sixteen, for their. Feet run to do evil and make haste to shed blood. Seventeen. Surely in vain is the net spread in the sight of any bird. Do you know what that means? When you put a what they call it a net. A bird has had access to a higher altitude, and he can see. He's saying, one who is open to counsel is like a bird that is higher than the limitation that the devil the trap that he puts for you verse eighteen. And they lay wait for their own blood and look privily for their own lives. The last verse now nineteen, It says, so are the ways of everyone that is greedy of gain, which take it away the life of the owner's thereof sell from a father to his son. This is my counsel to you, as you saw John, you are going to meet this and that and that options. But every time you are presented with these options, the Lord is speaking to you through my voice. Can I tell you many people have been saved. From disaster because of counsel. Counsel is powerful, town cel is powerful. There is nobody who should ever outgrow the need to be counsel. Away together again, this is where the pride of a generation comes in. And then what the Bible calls vain glory we feel because I have achieved this and that and that we are not open to counsel. Counsel is very, very important. Every time I have the honor of meeting any of our fathers of faith, or anybody who has accomplished something that I consider to be a voice or s call that my life. I listen very cheerfully. I ask intelligent questions, and my heart is opened to receive to share what they say even if I don't exactly see things that way, at least I give it a listening gear. Oh, do ministry this way, do this this way. Okay, I listen. Albeit I will go to God in prayer, but I respect results when I hear. Counsel from spiritual authorities. When you are open to receive counsel, then you will access the leadings of God. Sometimes God will not come directly. It may not be through a dream, It may be through one wise counsel. Gentlemen, the way you are doing ministry, you are not going to get credibility this. Way and you will not rise. Take away this take away that do ministry with integrity. This is how it is done. I remember a gentleman who came and met me, and this guy had post us as if you was coming out for election. I said, what is this? He said, I'm beginning a ministry. I said, from nowhere, my brother, come, let me save you pain. What in the world is this. That's not how we do ministry. You just come out from nowhere and carry posters and keep giving people by the road side and believe that you will do ministry. No, that's not how it is done. And I showed him from scripture that when God leaves people, he leaves them step by step, and he gives them territories little by little. He said, less you occupy an empty territory that you do not have the capacity to feel. You see that when God moves people, he moves people by growth. Little by little. You'll see a young man that has never bought a bicycle and he just comes and a postle. I saw a range rover somewhere. I know God is a god of sea speed. It's not foolishness. You go gradually. Do you know what it means to maintain a car at that level? How much do you have? See? This is how and men of God, we have to be wise and help people. Don't just pray about everything because they said he should pray about it can be a chance to give them wisdom. Allelujah. One time a gentleman met me, not not in Abuja nan. He said he wanted to use a particular stadium for a program, and I just loved. He said, Wow, what a powerful zeal And revelation. But you are about to pay the price. Most likely you would did the prison. Most likely. I can already plot the. Graph of the pathway of that foolishness, because he will most likely borrow money, he will most likely meet liars, he will not even know which organization. He does not even have the influence to confront the authorities that will give him access to the use of the place. So most likely it's not prophecy. Most likely, just by the pathway of. Wisdom, you can know that that gentleman is about to destroy his ministry. Of course, I know what I saw. Yes, respect what you saw, but bring it to the table of counsel. Counsel is powerful. Let me tell you. I used to criticize men of God years ago when I started, not in a sarcastic way, but I just used to talk, you know, the zeal of trying to establish doctrine. It was an old woman that came one time after listening to me, She just called me and said, listen, my son, you are going very far, and by the time you start talking about men of God, you have not gotten to their level to know the challenges and the pressures that they have. So manage this with wisdom. That was a big deliverance in my life. Big deliverance. You will never hear me talk out of sarcasm. I may challenge wrong doctrines, but my honor for the Body of Christ, for authority for men and women of God is one of the greatest chief that has opened my credibility across the body of Christ because. Of one counsel. It is God's waking to someone. You may be running around trying to meet prophets, whereas your own mother carries the wisdom of the ancients. You have not sat down to say, Mama, I know you're a ceo flying across the world, but could it be one counsel Mama can give you. She didn't go to school, I know, but the wisdom of God resides with her. Is someone learning or pun up yourself for counsel. And when you are listening to people who have results counseling you, even if you don't agree, keep quiet, respect and honor your speakings. You can go back and cross chech and it did like the berial. But at the point, never sit with someone who has results and be discussing as colleagues. It is foolishness. Please hear what I'm telling you, don't say. And the doctor, we're all doctors. You just graduated. You are yet to get a job. This man has been a professor of medicine for twenty three years, maybe before you were born. SA. You know there's something I need and the person is watching you. When great people cheap wire can watch you start praying because it means. That they have seen that there's no hope. Talking to you again, I. Hope someone is getting wisdom in charge. Listen to what I'm telling you. For some of you, you are if not an. Opportunity to rise, because when you sit down with the grips, you sit down with pride and arrogance. Let me hear you know, Let me tell you this. I don't claim I love so much, but it is too pred for you to say I don't know anything. No, there are many people I talk with in ministry and the rest, and sometimes I'm streaching with them. This person does not have any results, and yet you see the person just talking. You are suffering, doors are not opening. You think all it takes to ministry is preaching good luck. A medio class world is very small. You can go around it in a moment and not see a need to expand your mind. Are we together? Counsel for someone? You need to write a list of all the things that are not working in your life and trust God for grace. Why is my business not working? I've been in ministry, I'm a person of integrity and. I love the Lord. Don't just say pray for me. I know if you declare one word all the troups, your foolishness just goes with one word. You need counsel They took you. Years, so build that kind of mindset. What makes you believe one prophetic declaration will just take away losing? There are wrong. Relationships you need to cut away from. There is a re orientation and an approach to life and ministry and business. You need to learn the law of Oh no, there are many things. You need to learn. What makes you believe one. Prophetic prayer would just magicalitate you? There? No, some of you have had. Access to great people and you abusive because of foolishness. You need more than prayer. You need counseling. I'm hurt tonight, but sorry, but listen. Listens from your heart of love. This is what should happen in the body of Christ. I am one believer who be listening, translating spirituality to a context that improves your life, where you can go back and bring results, results that are putent results at work for someone. You may need to call someone and say I'm so sorry I downplayed. Your counsel in spite of the results that you have given. My sincere apologies. Even if you do not agree with policemen, do not fight them. Respect their opinions. You can live quietly. Are we together now? Years ago a man came to me and he wanted me to pray, and it was about a financial issue because his children. He was not able to pay for their needs. And he was getting frustrated and he start apostle, you need to help me. And I was trying to explain to you, and I said no, no, no, no no. And then he made a statement, he said, you don't know what it means to pay the scoopies of two children. Then I looked at him with pity mixed with honor. If two children are giving you this kind of headache, and you see somebody leaving a ministry like this and you are saying, touch you. You don't know what it means to pay the schoolies of two children. There is nothing sustainable that is by luck. Just have that at the back of your mind. You can have short term success by luck, but there is nothing sustainable that is by luck. Believe me. Maybe God is speaking to a politician here. You are about to start and someone has been in politics. Even if the person has not succeeded, he has failed enough to be able to help you. Respect failure as much as you respect success. In fact, shere people who have not failed. They are too inno science to counsel you. There is a requile level of failure you most carry as a badge to balance your understanding in counselling people. Believe me, anybody who comes to you with a hundreds of one hundred is silly child. In the school of success, there is a requissie star that gives you a balance perspective. You failed enough to be able to talk to me. Don't tell me all the stories. I just prayed and the person was healed. I just spoke and they gave me an auditorium. You are not the person to counsel me. I respect you carry your results until you lend the other side of life. My goodness. There are people that have failed enough and they can't. Talk to you. When they talk to you, the otter from their pain. Their pain has been turned to wisdom. Every sentence is a life lesson. When you find failures who have become successful, respect them beyond the results. You see a man who tells you, I came to Abuja here and for five years I did ministry wrongly. I met first prophets. I da put my hands into. So many things. But thank God, today I'm working in integrity. Sit down quietly with a notebook and learn how to do ministry right. A woman who tells you, I've been barrying for ten years now, God gave me three sets of twins. Forget the twins and lend wisdom. Don't just respect crowns, respect cars. The wise respect both cars and crowns. Can I encourage someone Your failure is still an asset. Don't throw it, archivist. It will be one of the qualifiers for your speaking to people tomorrow. Ah, God is. Speaking to someone tonights. Help that woman. Please a person I have cried, I have felt in life. I know what it means to be an irresponsible father. Don't throw that experience a kidis. One day you will use from that wisdom and. Ment to an arrogant young man who thinks life is so easy. Most times, when we're starting out in life because. Of the leverage of prayer, the prophetic. Or generally life just playing games with you, you can believe life is so easy and you are wondering, so why are people crying like this? I just got married and three months has been so rosy. You start, My wife is the best thing that has happened to me. And you go on line and embarrass yourself. And someone who has being married for fifteen years, he said, may God help you. After two years? You just don't to certain. Life is unpredictable. All this his own white things that people do. But the oh loo and shes for me, my glory. You live, mine. Me my joy telling around my head tis only my joy. You life. The time an sill on me. This year me. This is a word of hope for someone. Do not just respect those words subsided alone. Respect those who failed. Not everybody feels respect. Those who have failed. Failure is an asset when you can turn it to power. M. Paul said, let no man trouble me. It is not only annoying that I have. There are scarce. Man of God that you fail the ministry and came here and start down. Now I know men will laugh at you and say you don't have results, don't worry. There is a story through your pain that only you can give. There is a time that destiny will make a rowe hall. Where are those who are failed? Come forward, and you will be the only one to be able to stand and come out because your failure has earned you. A place in destiny. You know what it means to be attacked. You know what it means to be married. You know what it means to do ministry for one year without anybody showing into your life. Gentlemen, don't just look for those who live in mansions. Go and look for mama and let her teach you the secrets of happiness. In the heart. There is something you need to learn. Because the money you think will come from the mansion, you will be surprised you don't know the depression and the drugs that surround those mansions. Sometimes you need to learn from both a king, but you need to learn from the slave that is in his palace. There is something the slave can tell you that even the king does not know. The slave is the one who cleans the palace. He knows what he has seeing there, my glory, the liter up, My you are my glovery. The letter. He is my glovery, You are my lovey. Tell me if somebody is talking than your mind. Only don't laugh, man, you are mine. Mama. You may be struggling with four children and none of them seems to have been great. Let them laugh at you. There is a story only you can tell. Continue being delicent, training the children. Let them nay sayers keep gossiping. Shame on. Have four children nobody writing. Don't worry. Let them celebrate their success while you celebrate the act. Of Tony Sailie to success. A lawyer. Why will the. Lord speak to a young virgin through an angel and says Mary, you are highly favored, And the next thing that follows that woman is pain, controversy. There was nothing in the life of Mary that I have seen that look like favor. An angel comes from heaven and says you are highly favored. I would expect the King to call and say I had a dream there is free land for you. As soon as Jesus is born, you become tact free. That sounds to me like faivor. So God calls card favor, he calls controversy favor, he calls pain favor. Why would you say a woman is high. God is speaking to someone. Don't listen. You may cry, but don't be embarrassed about your failures. Again, there is glory through the scar. There is something about the speaking of God, but that until you are at your lowest moments, there is something about the voice of God you cannot hear. There is a. Henry requirement to hear certain things about God. Tonight's message is very deep. For some of you. You really will not understand it this night. You are too innocent. You have been shield dead by the sacrifices of others. You may not really understand this. There is a Henry requirement that brings out the clarity and the purity of the voice of God. There is a way a man of God fails and fails in ministry that he goes back and he says, Lord, teach me. When he writes a book about the leadership of the spirit, read it. That pain has curified any flesh and the need to make a name. It's gone. That is the reason why when people go through things and they come out of it, they usually come out with an annointed barrying for sixteen years laughter by people as she gets three plays. It's not only children. She got. The day she speaks over you, she will terminate baringness in a moment, because every. Time she sees you, like the high priest, she starts with the feelings of your infirmity. Let me tell you the truth is in many of you see today that I pray for people and I'm just speaking, and you see the power of God. It's not only prayer and annointing. Know there is a ten requirement that has reached down to. The bowels of power and has drunk and nine or ten take spirit for power. When I say oppression, I know because I have been oppressed. Counsel, causel counsel. It's someone hearing. You may need to humble yourself. Seek counsel, godly counsel, not a wise counsel. Sit down. There has to be a way about my life. Speak to me, God, speak to me, Speak to me. Ministry has to walk this thing between me and my wife. We're beating ourselves every day, and then everybody would. Enter his room personality. I'm praying tongues. It shouldn't be like that. Where there is new wine, there is new. There is new reader. The keep jerms me. I s. The first time we heard our crow said, we were owing, we were not much. Things did not go well. I knew it was a process, but I. Said, Lord, we cannot do ministry this way. I don't want to live a life where you are preaching and you are owing. You are in trouble. Many people are dying right now. There are many preachers that cannot stand on stage and preach. People just fall down and die like that because of a pile of problems. And I said, I don't want to have to manipulate people. I'm going to encounter a lot of wealthy and influential people. Why do I have to change my salmons because I want to attract. Fail There has to be a way through desire. A man haven't separated himself. Please hear me, someone right now, what you are hearing from me is not just a preacher. It is pain during your counsel man of God. The way you are doing ministry, you are only going to end up being jealousy and pain and you will join the queue of frustrated people. And you would think everybody went to collect charm from a Harbanist. Retrace your step and go back through the power and the dignity of kingdom, integrity, dig that well. And find treasures at last, are well learning. This is more than preaching, Tonito, This is the spirit of God speaking to you. There are many of you. You need to stop what you are doing. Now, Stop that business, stop that contract, whatever, Just stop and stay counsel because your continuingly it's about foolish said rule, and not that season of pain. Listen to me. Time do not turn ignorance to knowledge. Time does not turn pain to joy. You must bridge time with wisdom a way together seek counsel. I thought I had God, but the five areas I thought I had got, none of them has produced the result that I want. I think I need to go back and find out I may be missing something about hearing God. I thought God said I should start ministry, but I started, and it looks like it's not God. Let me go back again. Three days before Colinonia would start in a budge. A year I was still on a retreat. Leave very fine again, God pleases it's you. Look beyond my humanity and let me hear from you again. If it is not you, I will counsel it. Let's finish it. So Number four counsel from spiritual authorities. Number five. The fifth platform that is available to access the leadings of God. Is the prophetic ministry. This will be my last for tonight, and I want you to please pay attention the prophetic ministry, both the office of the prophetic and then revelatory gives. The prophetic ministry is a very unique ministry given by God to the Body of Christ, because when you look beyond the imperfections and the imbalances around the prophetic, the prophetic is a seriously powerful tool that can bring rest and direction comfort to a man within a moment. Age long fusion and captivity can come to end in a moment if and when the prophetic at its administered within its jurisdiction of relevance. An example of the power of the prophetic reflecting the leadings of God. First Saul, Chapter ten, beginning from verse one to seventh. Please first Swell. Ten one to seven. This was the encounter between Saul and Profets Samwell. The Bible says, then Samuel took a vial of oil and poured it upon his head that he in Saul and kissed him and said, is it not because the Lord had anointed. It to be captain over his inheritance? Verse two when thou art departed from me. Today you shall find two men by Rachel Sepulcher in the border of Benjamin at Zelda, and they will say onto thee the assis which thou wentest to seek have been found. And lo, thy father had left the key of the assist and sorrowed for you, saying what shall I do, thinking his son had been. Devolved maybe by a business. So the three then thou shalt go forward. That's the assignment of the prophetic. It helps you to go on forward from thence, and thou shalt come to the plane of Tabor, and there shall meet the three men going up to God to Bettel, one carrying three keys, and another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a bottle of wine. That's four, he says. And they shall salute thee and give thee two loaves. Of bread, which thou shalt receive of their hands. Five. And after that you shall come to the hill of God, where is the garrison of the Phillips lines. And it shall come to pass when thou hast come to that to the city, that thou shalt meet a company of prophets coming down from the high place with the psultry and tabret and pipe, and have before. Them, and they shall prophesy. Verse six, Now it says, and the spirit of the Lord will come upon you, and thou shalt prophesy with them. And shall be turned into another man. The last verse it says, and let it be when these science are common to you, that you shall do as occasion serves you, because they have become proof that God is with you. The prophetic ministry is very, very. Powerful because of its unique ability to access the eyes and the ears of the spirit, and. To reach into the past and to reach into the future. Transport spiritual realities and bring it to you. Now, there are two dimensions of the prophetic, as you may have learned for telling. That has to do with declaring things before they happen and forth telling declaring things to make them happene is revelatory. Another is creative. You need to know this away together, two dimensions, two levels of the prophetic. There is the prophetic that declares happening events before they happen. It is revelatory. There is the prophetic that declares things to make them happen. It is creative. Both are dimensions of the prophetic. But now I'm particularly talking about the revelatory dimension of the prophetic. Another example of this we find, maybe for times sake, we may not really be able to read. Everything, is the story of a man prophet called Elisha, king ben Hadad, and then one of his boys called Hazael. You find that in Second King, chapter eighth, from verse seven. Second King's chapter eight, from verse seven. Elisha came to Damascos, and Ben Hadad, the king of Syria, was sick. The Bible says it was told in saying the Man of God is here, verse eight. And the king said on to Hafel, Hazael was like an age to him, take you present in the hand, and go and give the Man of God, and inquire of the Lord. He said, inquire of the Lord. But through the prophetic shall I recover from this disease? Have you seen why kings in ancient times were great because they didn't take chances. They took advantage of the prophetic. So Hazael went to meet Elisha now and gave him a present, even every good thing of. Damascus forty camel's burden. Can you imagine, just to inquire of a prophet? And he said, thy son, when had a king of Syria, have sent me to you, saying, shall I recover from this disease? This is where I want you to lend me your attention. Now, pair attention, see the power of the prophetic. And Elyasha said on to him, go and say to him, you may certainly recover, but as ill. Let me tell you the truth I have seen it. He shall die. He said, Listen, I don't want to break his heart just telling he shall recover, But I will tell you the truth I have seen it as a prophet, he shall die. Now eleven is where my story begins. Elisha now turned down his countenance until he was ashamed, and he started crying. After telling Haziel that Elisha now starts to cry, and as I heel Verse twelve, looks at him and he says, my. Lord, why are you crying? And he said, because I have seen the evil that you, as Iel will bring. You are going to set their strongholds on fire. The young men you will slay with his sword. You will read children out of the stomach. Of women who are with child. Can you imagine? The prophet was saying, I'm with him because you, as Iel, as innocent as you look as a message. Now I have seen by revelation that you will become king, and you will be a cruel and a wicked king. I am warning you now hear what he said, as I was that has Iel said, But what is your savante dog that he shall do this great thing? You see, the prophetic has reached into the future, and he said, young man, you are still surrounded with all kinds of propaty and paid. Your loyalty is not genuine. It's just because you are in a condition. You've not been. Exposed to the delicacy of the palace. I have seen that there is evil in your heart. Instead of the man to say, pray for me, I don't know my tendencies in the future, he said, the Lord has showed me that thou shall be king of Assyria. When you read that story, the life of Hazael had to be caught shot because when he became king, he was cooel and he was wicked. Everytingy life has said that he said, you would not do he did. The prophetic can look at a nambroma today and say, don't throw him completely. There is a prophet in him. The prophetic can see is supposed well behave gentleman today and say this boy in his counseling, no, no, no, no, no, he's my finest of sons. He said, you don't know what this gentleman can become. The prophetic has a way of reaching to discern the intense in the hearts of men that even the carriers do not even know he is resident within their hearts. There is almost nothing happening across the nations of the earth that has not been forewarned by scripture, and with the leaks of prophets, some ignored, some received. Now the prophetic, sadly, just like the. Apostolic, also has had his abusive and imbalances, because you see the nature of the prophetic is that because the prophetic accluse to your emotions and your psychology directly, everyone wants a sense. Of security and certainty. It's a psychological need. So if I prophesy to you right now, and I'm not just declaring, I call your name and I tell you tomorrow one billion my right is coming into your account from somebody you see, you will be excited and afraid and many other things that by the time that one billion comes tomorrow, the next time I say don't travel. You will not travel because the memories of the results from the last prophecy. This is what has sadly taught many people in the Body of Christ, especially. The prophetic community, into slaves. These are the imbalances that need to be dealt with because the prophetic has a side effect. The prophetic commands tremendous loyalty because of the result that it produces. If and when that prophet or the person operates in. The prophetic does not share God sincerely, you can turn God's people into animals. There are managers. Today that are broken because of the prophetic. There are children, There are people who have gone out of the will of God because they came to honor the prophetic. So as much as I talk about the prophetic, it should. Never be ignored. But I can tell you there are many biblical require men that need to be in place before you open up your heart to the prophetic. Before I received from you as a prophetic, as a prophetic person, there are many things I need to look at. Number one, I. Need to look at the strength of your consecration. Number two, I need to look at your prayer life. Number three, I need to see the supremacy of the world of God at work in your life. If I do not find these things, I do not trust your speaking. What you said does not have to be inaccurate. The imagine of error is wide, too wide to be received. It is not the correctness of what you say that makes you an accurate prophet, and it is not the falsehood of what you say that makes you a fake prophets. Are we together? Many of us right now, sadly have been victims of the prophetic. The prophetic is powerful, but there are. Many people who left jobs they should not have left. You ask them why did you leave the job? Say a prophet came and told me you have the call of God. Get out of that. Someone who come and say your wife is a witch for instance. I'm not being sarcastic, you know. I love the Body of Christ and I love the prophetic community. To imagine, as a husband, you go somewhere and someone secretly calls you, and because there's some kind of witchcraft manipulation, maybe in your wife's family, and that person is not sound with the world to be able to discern what you have seen properly, he announ says, aug you have been staying with a witch in your house. I wish you good luck. Imagine you are such a man, ladies and gentlemen, and you get home and your wife is happy, makes a hair ready to receive you, and gives you a pig hug and say, honey, I prepared this special meal for you. Uhah, special meal. Everything you hear you will relate it from the lens of that prophetic. What makes the meal special? What have I not eaten in these ten years of marriage? You want to kill me? Let me just say, and you see fight starts there. There are people who in one day their. Entire theology can come to naught because of. The presence of the prophetic. We must embrace the prophetic. Some of you here may have been disappointed by. The prophetic ministry, but let me tell you the truth. Do not make the mistake that many are making to throw away. The prophetic and say it is unnecessary. The prophetic till Jesus comes, will play an active role in destiny actualization. However, I must tell you the prophetic must submit to the supremacy of the world of God, because the prophetic is not managed, especially by individuals who do not have consecration and character. It is going to turn men into beasts. It will cost more havoc than it will cause redemption. Are we together in as chapter eleven, we're about to pray. At chapter eleven, from verse twenty seven, the Bible talks about a very powerful prophet called Agabos. It says, and in these days came profits from Jerusalem. Tell what profects? So in the New Testament they were profits, not just one turn profets from Jerusalem to Antioch verse twenty eight. And they stood up, one of them called Agabos, and signified by the spirit that there will be great funny across the world. Are you seeing the prophetic now? The Bible says, which came to pass in the days of Claudius Caesar twenty nine were ready to thirty. Then the disciples, every man, according to his ability, determined to send relief onto the brethren, which dwelt in Judea verse thirty. Now, which they also did, and sent to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul. That means, in a meeting like these prophets came to Antioch, and one of them called Agabos, got up and said, listen, God has shown me something that there is coming a famine. How many prophets across the globe cried and began to wonder that there would be recessioned. There will be worse. First, the prophet of scripture that when the end time is about to come, nations who rise against nations? Is that true? That kingdoms who rise against kingdom? It is not new. It is in your Bible. But the Bible says in Matthew twenty four that this is only the beginning of the bad times. I have said it again. No matter what kind of fight happens in the world, it is not war that will bring Jesus back. There is only one sign that brings Jesus back. This Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached as a witness to all the nations and tell the end will come. Everything happening today on earth has happened before. The thing that was is the thing that is, and the thing that is is the thing. That is to come. There is nothing new under the sun. Is it farming women at their children? It's not even gotten that bad. Is it third world nations becoming. First world nations? Is it advanced nations retrogressing? Is it leaders being corrupt? Is it corrupt leaders? Repenting? Is it with national redemption? Everything we are seeing. Is already captured in the prophetic dimension of scripture. But additionally, they have been. Men and women that God has raised across the globe who have heralded, some with untanny precision the unfolding of events. Many have been ignored. Historically, men and women have always made it a duty to prosecute your saviors. There are many men and women of God who have wanted. Many have wanted in. Business, in ministry. Here Agabos want and said so and so would happen. Let's say one more prophecy of Agabos at twenty one from ten and eleven. Agabos had the courage to even want Paul, Mighty Paul. It says, as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judea again a certain prophet named Agabos eleven. The Bibles, And when he was come to us, he took Paul's girdle and bound his own. Hands and feet, and said, first, say it the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews in Jerusalem bind the man that owned this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles. What he said was the truth. But Paul said, listen, I. Will go through that risk on account of the Gospel. I am surrounded by a very prophetic community. You can imagine when you are connected to people across the globe, there would be a deluge of prophetic words day and night streaming from everywhere. And it is my duty under God to use the lens of scripture and decipher that which is for my reception and that which I will ignore. But it will be the biggest foolishness of anyone, even in this end time to throw the baby and the bad water. And I do not need any prophetic world in the midst of all the false prophecies. Make sure you don't throw the true one that comes as a bailout system. Allelujah. God has used me to bring prophetic direction to people and to ministries, to leaders and to kings. I have been. Directed by myself, myself, by the privilege of the prophetic. I have seen all shades. I have seen all dimensions of the prophetic. Believe me, maybe not all, but I mean I've seen. I've seen. I mean that I've seen a vast dimension of the prophetic. I've had the honor of seeking with people. I've just returned from Ghana, and you know, I think the Archbishop is probably one of the spiritual leaders on earth that I know that has raised about the highest diversity. Of the prophetic community. I know, you see, that is the truth. And so when I have the opportunity to sit with them like this, usually I would discuss what about the prophetic do I need to learn? And I could not imagine through my times, you know, and the relationship with him, that the level of spiritual orientation I have received a loon about the operation of the prophetic. Many people who teach about the prophetic are not profits. Just because you prophesy does not mean you are a profit. There is the prophetic office given to a man. Allelujah. We need to pray for all the prophetic and then by extension your postolic community in this nation and on earth, because the prophetic and the apostolic community is much needed. But these are the two groups of people that have received the greatest attack by the devil. The greatest character flaw has come from these two offices. Greatest mismanagement in ministry has come from these two offices. Everyone who is fully called into the apostolic, and the prophetic demands and desires your prayer, including the person speaking to you. You have no idea of the attack that is camed at the prophetic and you are postolic because of the sensitive nature of the assignment. Allelujah, we need the prophetic. God has called you to be a prophet here. Your first assignment is to be careful. Don't go around harassing people with your limited knowledge. There are people who come to church and when everybody is seated, they start moving from row to rome. You are Sarah, no no, no grace. Well, one day you'll be called Sarah. That's what I mean. You are a liar. You are lying there instead of you to repent and go back and retrain yourself. It doesn't mean you are false. What kinds of food, gimmicks and games? If you are not hearing, you are not scaring. You can grow. Are we together? Or those who go to families and harass people? You just knock the dog kis be onto this house and you say, well, I've been instructed to come and pray with you and have. It with you. You have all kinds of problems and you start harassing people. One of the biggest mistakes of the prophetic is mammon, mammon, mammon. You meet the prophetical money, you are going to destroy yourself. Maybe God is speaking to someone here. There is wealth with the prophetic, but not by manipulation. The moment you start asking people, bring money, bring this, bring that, Bring money, so that I will see for you, so that I will hear for you. It's just by the messy of God. Now, please don't go around condemning people. Remember God good and bad. We're all growing. God is helping us. So this is not for you to carry to nice message. That's a weapon. And one said, as you are talking. Now, I already know the person I will call, and you wan't call somebody and say, listen now that the deceiving me, bring all my money, all the money, eleven million in all we talk one by. That's not what I'm teaching you. But you must be very careful the prophetic. We must restore the accuracy of priesthood and the fantity of pristhood away together. There is nothing wrong in blessing a man of God, sewing into a man of God's life. There is nothing wrong with a man of God's. Challenging you to give provided is within the boundary of integrity. The moment you start playing games. And you start skilling, and now start adding a lot of prophetic manipulations. And then one of the corruptions of the prophetic is employing extra biblical practices alongside the prophetic, even if authentic. This is one of the things that has downplayed the purity of the prophetic. Again, like I said that when I teach, I teach from a standpoint of love. It is only God that knows what he has told people. It's not my assignment to condemn, but it's my assignment to bring God's people to order using the reference of doctrine. Are we together now? Yes, there is no amount of prophecy you will receive that has not had this parallel in scripture. Nations were prophet high too by a man, and in twenty four hours things change. So by the time people start sending you to do all kinds of things, you know, I don't want to start mentioning you know the things that I'm talking about. There has to be a lot of care and caution. Now, there are prophetic signs, there are prophetic tokens. Yes, it is very possible Jesus washed puts. More in the eyes of someone and said go to Salon and wash. An angel came ustad the what I'm betterester. I understand these things, but there is a way that you operate that it is outside of the jurisdiction of scripture. You are going to lead people into tradition, alleluyah. But as far as the leadings of God is concerned, I'm praying even this night that God will raise a caliber, a new generation of prophets in Nigeria and Africa that will be a correction of the mistakes first in the name of Jesus tribe, most of. The apostolic and the prophetic community. I say again, the challenge is usually lack of character, Mammon pride. In many parts of Africa, the crop of prophets that is just a product is almost a mess. It's not even something to talk about. Sincerely and mainly are gifted genuinely in terms of the gifting, my goodness, But as beautiful as the gifts is, it comes with such an ugly life and a dispose, a disposition that it can souse out the beauty and the purity the prophetic. The gifts will attract people to you. It is your character and stability base ons. I'm so that now glorifies Jesus. Are we together? By the time I profess sigh to you and you say, a man of God, that's true. You are the company like this? I say, yes, you earn one hundred and fifty million this morning? Yes, sir, how did you know? I said? Now, now that I've still that amount, you will be. Mistake you to think that that prophety will finish with just telling you that amount, Go and carry thirty million. If you don't want to die, rush with it and stand in front of my office tomorrow. You just bought a git, Yes, sir, how many three? Carry two? First to my house? You have ten houses? Yes? What are you doing with? Turn now? God? John said that's you? You did he tell you? One? Is not all those kinds of things. I'm not being starcastic, but we need to repent. When I say we, I add myself elite. Whether you are innocent or not. When you are addressing the body of Christ, you must include yourself in it too. You don't stand from a standpoint of self righteousness and say we and say them I don't do tell them if one. Fails, all of us failed. If one succeeds, all of us succeed them away together. But ladies and gentlemen, please hear me. It is my prayer that through you or around you, that God will spend authentic prosthetic voices. Haven't told you some of these negative parts of the prophetic? I submit to you by God. The day you are privileged to have access to the accurate and accurate prophetic office, balance with schiriture, with character, accuracy in hearing, you will your lifetime can be downloaded in a moment, and you will get up with you will. Start running like the foxes of Samson. You will now know that the reason why you are the marching time is because of lack of hearing. There are people who have who. Have achieved so much in destiny in one year that many have done within two decades because the prophetic. God used the prophetic to give them wisdom. As much as I PROFESSI to people, I am a very principal beneficiary of the prophetic. You see my coming to a Buddha. In addition to what God told me, God used a lot of profets, and some of them with precision I cannot begin to tell you. With accuracy and precision. Almost every new season of my life that. Is about to unfold, there has to be one prophet across the growth somewhere, may be connected by relationship or even total. Strangers that God reveals to. Them, and some of them come with the sincerity of heart and bring that world and it just opens on those. The steps of a good. Man are ordered by the Lord Carnonia. Please hear me. This end time demands sensitivity in understanding the leadings of the spirit. If you really want to actualize destiny for some of us after this service, you need to use this week to at least have a one day retreat and say, Lord, the way business is not working for me? Speak to me, what am I not doing well? What am I not getting well? Or are you even in this in the first place? When you call on him, he will answer. If God has helped you here to be a man of God. Or to be a prophet, Please I beseech you by the message of God. If you don't have an answer to people's problems, be secured enough to give them intelligence from scripture, but don't be under pressure to tell lies. There are many times people come to meet me and say, apostle, I know you. Know, those are the kinds of statements that now massage your ego and you are now changed to lie. A possible I traveled all the way from America. I'm here right now, and I knew the moment I see. You one word ahah and you nowsay okay. Now that you have, you have encouraged me like that. How in the world do I tell you? I won't think about it? And that is why even genuine people, I hope you know, lying is not falsehood is just seeing. Many accurate prophets have lied the same way many false prophets have told the truth. Allelujah. We don't lie because we're false. We lie because we're human. He said, God is not a man that he should lie when they met Balam. Remember that. Let's not go there. Let me just talk about something else. Let me encourage maybe pavants of God who are following or those who are here. Please do not be under any pressure to tell lies. If it is something you need to pray about, you can tell the people. Please give me some time. And let me pray. You may need to consult like doctors. Do you see the doctor was Okay, allow me this is new. In my thirty five years of practice, I have not seen it like this. Let me call another colleague in India or another colleague somewhere and just send the samples and let's look at it and compare notes. But as only men of God work proud we all know it all we sit down and die and tell lies that that are just opening your heart to say, listen, I may not have clarity about this issue, but let another persons think. Alleluyah. People who have lied about the election, people who have lied. About the economics, people who have lied about so many things. We need to be very careful and not get under pressure. But let me encourage you. Do not be a slave to the prophetic. Open up your heart to receive the prophetic within the jurisdiction of its relevance. But hear me, this is what will keep you to the end, the voice of a no matter how accurate. I hope you know. There are many things God said in the Bible that did not come to pass. It does not make God a faith profit. Many many things he said would come to pass. For instance, it is his desire that all men get saved. Are all men said there are people going to hell every day? Is that true? The Lord is my shepherd. We have come thus far by the leadings of the Spirit. I cannot begin to give you instances. Of the leadings of the Spirit. Is December now, and one of the things I hope to teach you before this year wraps. Up is the power of retreats. Most of us do not know how to hear a word from the Lord and then to run with it. It is risky to just celebrate Christmas alone. Beautiful Christmas tree by the way, Let's appreciate our lovely people and the flowers here, allelujah. But if all you are thinking. About is just celebrating Christmas, eating chicken cow and running around going to visit friends, family, that is wonderful. But there must be something within your heart to say, Lord, I need your leadership guide me. I am tired of making mistakes in my life for someone. God is speaking to you. People will not continue to forgive your mistakes forever. There are mistakes you are going to make that may cost you your relevance for the rest of your life. And God himself is calling on you right now, and he's telling you it is time. There are levels in life. These people are keeping the Christmas tree instead of them. To focus on what we're discussing. We just commented the three doesn't mean that. Away together. You flog it out with destiny. Lord, I need your leadings. I made certain mistakes before I got married. You may say, but now I. Have five children. I cannot afford that mistake again. Because while I suffered alone, now there are five people there. I made certain mistakes. We were ten in ministry, but right now is a ministry with branches all over the world. I cannot afford that mistake again. Listen to me. Stagnation, mistakes or necessary errors can be eroded in your life. If you understand the leadings of the spirit. The meek will he guide in judgment. There are fathers here. We need to just go and sit with your family and say, let's pray. Even though I'm the head of this whole, I confess I. Do not have all the answers. We need to go to the one who is the fountain of wisdom and to hear he speak to us leaders who need to retreat and say, listen, even though we are great leaders, we do not have all the answers. We need to go back and first God to speak to us. Hallelujah. Oh God you are my eger, and I will level love you. Oh God you are my. And will level praise you. Oh God you are, and. Will fla. I will see you. I have to day. Four, stay. You and not stand by s guys, time you lea what was time? Oh? Time you. See with you. By you and then you please. He only leads follow us. It will take beyond being a listener to receive the leadings of the shepherd. You see, when Jesus came in a New Testament, he said, I am the good shepherd. A shepherd leads sheep. And if you know anything about sheep, sheep does not have horns. They don't have any externally sister of defense. The only defense of the sheep is the leadership and the security that the shepherd provides. That means when the shepherd is not there, the sheep is exposed to wolves, exposed to lions and all kinds of wild animals. Listen to me, it is a dangerous thing to so John this earth just using intellect, using brain work. Your mind is important. Your brain is important. But the Bible, history and experience are shown that any man who sow John's this complicated destiny. Not paying attention to the leadings of God will eventually end up in catastrophe. Many began their walk arrowgantly, and even began to clap for themselves before the journey started. Today, many of them have had their heads bent in shame because they had to learn by pain and by experience that when God. Does not lead you, you will go even if you think you are moving forward. It is by you that I run to it. Though it is by you that I leap over a wall. God is speaking to someone. The sun will no more give you sunlight by day. The moon will no more give you life by life. Chell, well believe you ever last. Light, be long your strength and your side. The line will be like the lie of the sun and the lie of the sun. Well shine, sad times provide. Stay. Your first prayer point tonight is to declare Lord, I am a follower. I confess that I cannot leave myself. I have attempted to lead myself in politics. I have attempted to leave myself in marriage. I have attempted to leave myself in business. I have attempted to leave myself even in my spiritual So John I have attempted to leave myself in ministreet if someone praying, but I return to you all, captain and garden of my soul. Someone is praying. I make up my mind that beyond the listener, I am a follower, follow. Up the leadings of the spirit. Charlie caparous Branda deva la capose. Someone is praying, if I had followed you twenty years ago, Oh, I would not be where I am now. For there is a way that semen rights onto a man. The Bible says the and thereof are the ways of death. Some of you have followed. Friends and associations. Some of you have followed the philosophies of men. Some of you have followed your ego. Some of you have followed the paths of ignorance. Or the shepherd is calling you tonight, I am ever willing to lead you. Someone is praying, pray from the depth of your heart. I make a commitment, Oh. God, that I will be a follower. I will follow your leadings. I am tired of my rolling around the corridors of Destiny's time for me to make constructive advants spiritually, maritally, financially, ministerially, professionally in my career. If some man prays, man of God pray, business man pray, family man pray. Professional pray. The continuity and the expelling of your destiny de depend depend depends on the leadings of the Spirit. Allelujah, allelujah. When this ministry started, and. Even when God started lifting us, I went to the Lord and you would notice, as a ministry, we have never done any conference or any convention. It's unconventional. I mean, a ministry decides globally speaking. And yet God gave me a word and said do not. My life is a product of the leadings of the Spirit. When this ministry started, that was the time when most ministries would generate their revenue through audio teachings, tapes, media ministry generally. And the Lord gave me. An instruction and said, you will not sell any tape or any teaching, but you will put it online and my Angel will take it to the nations. And with the foolishness of that instruction, I obeyed, and the rest to Him be the glory. Please listen to me. I'm about to pray for you, but I sense very strongly in my heart that there are people here that God is speaking to and saying listen. You have been ignoring my voice for a long time. You are already getting to a point where you are exhausting the boundary of God's messy. It is dangerous to be at the other side of God's voice, because the voice of God is where his power follows. His power will always go the direction of his voice. Maybe there are people in ministry right now who need to go back and say, Lord, lead me. I'm tired of assumptions. You have done ten businesses, none of them succeeded ham Down. What you need is not more capital. What you need is to sit down, Man of God. You may need to sit down. Family man, you may need to sit down. What is wrong? The Bible says Probabs eighteen one. Through desire, a man haven't separated himself, sickret and intermed life with all wisdom. It is okay to not know what is wrong, but at least calm down for someone. God is speaking to you. You are rushing too much. You are jumping from pillar to post, and in your mind you do not believe anything is wrong. You just believe that maybe they're just like you. Need to sit down. Your life is not going forward. There are people who came into this a whore ten twenty years ago, respectfully. Speaking, but until now there is no single dog. At least if one door opens, we can't say something is happening. No, you can be in the middle of that kind of plethora of failure and then just explain it away. No, something must be wrong. Sometimes ten is a signal that your destiny is calling you, but not that version of you. You need to sit down, listen. There are family people who need to once sit down and say why is this home not walking? Son fighting with father? They get up in the money his boxing, husband, fighting wife. Beating themselves. No, you need to sit down. There is something about the leadings of the spirit were ignoring. There are people today you'll find them exhausted. Their entire finances is spent on flight fares Europe today, America today, Abuja tomorrow, Italy next week. What are they looking for? Opportunities? The voice of God can save you that kind of day. I went together. Some of you right now are about to do business with am robots because we don't care about the voice of God. I don't care. Perhaps that's why. God brought you to church tonight. To give you a word of caution, that there is a world a way that seemeth right onto a man. Maybe there are men of God. Some of you have started frantignizing with wrong groups and wrong relationships. They're beginning to introduce you to extra biblical practices. In a bid to get more money or to get more failed. You are beginning to practice things you know are godly. Perhaps God brought you here tonight to tell you listen, you need to settle them. He brought us to church. We're about to pray. I want you to listen. This is more than a man of God preaching tonight. The Good Shepherd is calling you. There are whole families that God is calling. He called your great grandfather. Your great grandfather said, ignore me, I'm a professional father, and he died like that. He called on your grandfather. Your grandfather said, no, I'm a ritualist and a have a list. I can do this. He called on your father for some of you. They if not. Now he's calling on you. Help him. Please do not allow your children softer because of your pride. This is a word that is coming from God to someone. Do not allow your children softer because of your pride. If you have not got direction, stay with God and humble yourself. Use the keys that I've given to you. He is able to breathe upon the sincerity of your meekness and speak to you. You can call him in prayer, and he can speak to you through his world. He can speak to you or deibly. I'm directly in your spirits, hallelujah. He can take advantage of supernatural and counters and speeches real to you, and in the montitud of counsel, the Bible says there is safety. He can stick to you through the voice the successes and the pain of many, and he can speak to you through the prophetic. Which one have you ignored? Which one of these did you laugh at? Which one of these did you sit at table tasticating and tearing down? Don't mind all these prophets. They are all fake people, and you are in trouble that only the prophetic can bring out. Maybe time to refresh yourself lovingly and respectfully speaking. Some of you have ignored counsels. No Bonney talks to you. No, no Bonney talks to you. I'm a man of by myself. After all, I'm a millionnaire. I have money I have. This doesn't matter. You are way to crassland, that's for sure. And some of you have never taken out time to pray for your destiny. You have turned men and women of God to slaves. Man of God, I just want to say. Little seal, I hope that you will use it and pray for me this night. The Covenant of priesthood demands that we pray for all the people under our care. But can I tell you there are some of you. The reason why you are still stagnated is because you have not made up your mind to take your next level serious. The day you shot yourself back for three days and you men it with God like you shot yourself and say, I am fasting only to break at night. Lord, I am. Tired of this situation. Please give me an answer. It was god servant Bishop Debildico who shared his story and said that things were not waiting for him, and they decided to set themselves to pray. And it was while he was praying, God gaving a few chees. And one time they were praying in Kaduna and the Lord asked him to come out, and he saw a thick layer of darkness, and he rebuked it and it rolled away, printed the publicity material and that was the end of it. My teaching tonight is for people who. Are tired of not producing results, tired of instat nature. Are you ready to pray for the next two minutes, I'm going to leave you with God. I'm not going to give you a prayer request. I want you to cry. Before the God of Heaven. Forget that this is Forget any other person who is here. Let it be just you and God.

I want you to carry that mentality all through this week. I am not without guidance. The Lord is my shepherd. I'm about to pray for you now as we wrap up the service. But I can tell you this, as simple as this service was for someone, this will be the coin Onian service you will not forget this year. This yearmy yummy, let me tell you something I know about destiny. When your mistakes become too many, people draw a circle around your life and they avoid you. We are humans, people make. Mistakes here and there. But when your mistakes your level imagine of inactuacy in your life, when it becomes every widening you are sailing in everything, people will draw a line around you, as told someone who is cursed, and just leave you. Yes, you can make ministerial mistakes, my return mistakes, financial mistakes, but when it becomes from one mistake to another from one profit. There are people who are never free from trouble as soon as they're coming out. In fact, trouble comes from me them in another trouble. This is why God sent me tonight. I need to pray for you because there are people who are in a kid right now. It is only prophecy that will bring you out. Because you are in it. You are tried. When you find yourself in a well, the first thing you need to do is to stop digging. You can't keep digging and hoping you will come out. Father, in the name that is above all names, I stand tonight by the privilege of the annunching that you are given. Samarakos can live rakaia. Anyone who is in any kind of peace right now, marital peat, financial pitch, ministerial pitch. In the name of Jesus, Let the power that race drives from the dead bring you out of that pitch right now. Bring you out of that pitch right now. Bring you out of that teat right now, come out of that. Peace right now. See me. Everything you had that you thought was God that has been leading you into trouble. You have done more than fifty instructions that came from that supposed voice, and not one of it as. Clori by God. In your life. Every demon masculating as the voice of God, con choosing you, confusing you, maritally, con choosing you, financially, confusing your spiritually. I silence that voice right now. I silence that voice right now. I silence that voice right now. I silence that voice right now. The spirits that have hi judt your dreams and visuals to the point that you don't even want to dream again because you don't trust what you see. For some of you, you were actuating your dreams. When God shows you things, they happen in the name of Jesus, by the Blood of the channel covenants. I profess side to you. May your dreams and encounters with curified by the Blood. May your dreams and encounters with curified by the Blood hear me. I want to pray very special prayer, my apologist for the time. But please listen. God is delivering someone anybody here who knowingly unknowingly have gone to that powers to get any kind of solution, or people who went on your behalf. I want to release you. Now. Listen, cheerfully. The Bible says war to them that go to Egypt for help. Some of you, they carried your names and took it to shrines you didn't know. Because they want you to marry, because they want you to have children. They want you to minisy, to try or some of you things crely you were misled by well intentioned but maybe if not O people or just we cat strengths. Let's go to this aballist. We will eat this, they will bafforce with this. Sure that this will happen. You cannot go to the devil and soil your hand with it and then suddenly wash your hand and say it's not my business. There are rules of engagement. No, because there are many there series that I've been tied down right now, because there are voices and altars saying you can go. You can go for certain people. Parents respectfully sweaking and with every sense of honor to parents. Parents, please be careful, don't allow desperation. I want my child to go abroad by fire, by force. I want my child to marry by fire, by force. I want my child my daughter to have children by fire, by force, and sometimes by fire by force. Has led people someone who says. Well, it's not exactly our badis. He just knows how to see things. Someone is about to be released in the name of Jesus. Any ALTI that is calling your name right about now where I think there is the west, the north, or house. Anyone on a paracatus reatad in the name of Jesus, I release you now. I release you now, I release you now. I release you now. Dear me, and if your name was taken there by wicked men to say, let me see what will happen. That all the ladies in this family will not rise, that all the men in this family will rise and fault. I stand by the God who sent me any he would do other. Put your name to any other to help them. Please, I declare the sordom judgment upon them. Now help them, Please have them believe and thordom judgment upon them. Now, whoever has found that over your dead body for you rise in the name of Edos. Made the ground open and swallow them and heavy bleased. If there is anyone here because of your carelessness, you are carrying causes from men of God, causes from parents, causes. From innocent people, people who. Stood and spoke. Maybe you're past. I'm not condemning you. Maybe before you got born again. You are rude and in lawless, messing no or not to people. You could say anything to anyone, and someone a mother he assessed and said, what you have done to me to be done to you. I want to relieve you right now, because many people don't know why it is not well with them. Things just tie down your destinies. Some of you have sat down and gossip about men of God from the cycle and turned down men of God, and the. God that sent them was in that meeting watching all of you. And in the midst of it. You go back now and find out you cannot rise again. In the name of Jesus, I invoke the blood of the eternal covenants. Every legal access over your life. Be released from it. Now, be released from it. Now, be release from it. Now be released from the cause of this honor. Be relieved from the cousin tongues of men. Find out prayer. If you come from a family here that they save idols. Please Jeremy, you come from a family where you grandfather, your father worship idols. You see, I want to pray and release you because there. Are acre find this. Most people do not know the mystery of blood. You don't just slaughter a child or an innocent woman and then you drain the blood and perform sacrifices for fifty years and then does destroy the shrine and. Say it is over. No, there are rules of engagement. Let me release someone now, because there are eveno cent people, some of you. You were not part of it, but that blood line is holding you and you may. Not know why you are not writing. A man comes to you an says, I want to marry you, and those spirits manifest. You want to write to a dimension and something push you out. In the name of Jesus, every altar that is freaking against you, every blood that is preaking, like the blood of Ebel, I call upon the blood of Jesus to silence that blood right now. I involved the blood of Jesus to silence that blood right now. This also has to do with territories, sacrifice, children, chilled, virgins, chilled, all kinds of people, chilled missionaries. One more time, I'm saying, if there is any blood that is saying come back when you are going forward, if there is any blood that is saying come back like your father, I stand to night Cornonia, in the name of Jesus, I profess ti to you. Go forward, call forward, go forward. Go forward. I release you go forward. I release you can forward. I release you, come forward. I release you call for I release you call forward. Thank you Jesus. From the rising nuts, the sun to the sad sing nuh stay. Your name, mister time from there to the sad. Jo names. I want to make another call right about now, mm hmm. In such a powerful service like this, there are people right now who are sitting and the Holy Spirit is speaking to you.
