Step into the divine presence where the word of God eliminates your path. Your word is a lump to my feet and a light to my path. This is Chicaina, a sanctuary of God's boundless love, unmatched power, and infinite wisdom. Prepare your heart for an extraordinary encounter with God. Now, as Aparcel Philips Seafirs preaches, open your spirit to receive the word of God. And I became an inventor of evil things. This was a sweet deception. Balalittle? Did I know the poison aed sip, the sweetness of sin would turn to bitter rip. Out of my belly was supposed to flow the rivers of living waters, But instead, out of my belly was flowing rivers of better waters, so bitter, like the river called Mara. I drunk of this bitter river Mara, and I became high. Bal litle did I know the temporary high would give way to paint and the consequences would leave me in chains. I wore the mask of the night and danced with the moon. My first step silence. As I swoon to the reading of Rebellion. I swayed to the beats those sweetness of seeing my heart did repeat, the sweetness of seeing my heart did repeat. But then the dawn broke and the spell was on dawn. Those sweetness don't sow, and the pleasure turned to stone, and I realized the sweetness of sin was just butt. A deadly game scene revived, and I died. Sin deceived me and it slew me. Oh, my father, how do I come my life again? Death's the thief crept in like a midnight snake, stealing life from me and leaving sorrow's aching ache. He hissed and said to me, you are done. Your time is up. You have to leave this earth for the wages of sein is death. My eyes were wet with yes. As I lament, I regret. How did I get into this bed? Who would save me from these nets of death? Then came the great conqueror, the triumphant one. He said to me, whip not, for the lion of Judah has prevailed. And he said to me, come now, let us riezing together. Though your sins be scarlet, that shall be as white as snow, Though there be red as screamson, that shall be whiter than woo. My sin was cleansed. I was once lost in Death's valley. But Jesus found me and gave me lives. Early, he britted on me, and I arose. Now I stown with a heart full of holy joys. Who are my Lord, that you are so mindful of me? By your love, Oh God, you have escaped my soul like a bird out of the snare of the fowler. And now I can lift up holy hands and shout Alllujah. In seeing I was conceived, and like David of old, I laid my bed inn. My ways were the ways of the boildry and lewdness. But by your love of God, you have made me the captive of the own mighty, and you've given me life and hope for glorious And how could you love me so? How can I reciprocate this love of God? You not your motial bodies to sin, Do not enjoy the sweet deception of iniquity? What then, shall separate us from the love of Christ? When an age and time where the love of many for God has worked, code, shall tribulations, persecutions find mine nakedness or perial separate or the love of Christ? No, For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor principalities nor powers nor heights, nor debts, nor angels shall be able to separate us from the love of Christ. Remember, yea, your are overcomers. You have overcome the world because he that is in you is greater than he that is in the world. There is a promise that I wait overcomers. The Bible said in Revelations three, verse twenty one, to him that overcomeds should like grant to sit with me in my throne. Even as sigh overcame, and I'm set down with my father in his throne. My name is Azra or early On, and I am the voice of Paris. Hallelujah. Go with me to the Book of Romance, chapter eight. Let's begin from the conscripture. I hope we are said for the night. Are you sure if you're excited to be here a knife ers, give the Lord of Child. If you are not angry that you're seniors to believing, give the Lord the Child. Okay, before we advance, lise with Jesus. Don't help me appreciate your leadership of this great fellowship. Help me appreciate your tears and so on our president, the president and every other executives. I don't say, help me appreciate my beloved friend and brother. Across the poor. Thank you so much for being here, and appreciate yourselves for coming. Please appreciate yourself. Okay, go to your uncle. Scripture Romance, chapter eight, right, you can still be on that. So the Bible is speaking, said, but I would love to read from verse. Let me use like two verse ahead. If I would say, who shall separate us from the love of Christ? From verse start to five? Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulations or distress, or persecution of famine, or nakedness of pavilions or sword as it is written, for thy sake, we are killed all the day long. We are counted as sheep for this laughter. Nay, in all these things, we are more than conquer to Him that love us. If I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, no principality, is not power, nor things present, not things to come for hid, not death or any other creature shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus. Our Lord. We saw a very profumed proclamation from Apostle Paul. Here a time came where the believers we are troubled, and because they were trebled, they have to be able to ascertain and evaluate the reason to why. They love Jesus. They have to begin to evaluate their life to see how much more compliance is their life in keeping to the present doctrine of chives. Somehow, for them to make these adchrances as reading and capture is because it was a moment of trial of faith, and every believer cannot escape the moment of trial. The time is going to come where everything you have ever knew will be challenged. Before I give perspective to this uncle scripture, go with me to Revelation chapter twelve from eleven. Again the Bible said, and they overcame. They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the world of their testimonies and their love, not their lives. Even onto death. So we saw two contexts there in coalition with the formal sculpture. We saw number. One, that there was someone that is doing his best to separate the believers from the love of Christ. Apart from that person doing his best to separate the believer from the love of Christ, we also saw that it is necessary for them to overcome, but for them to be able to overcome, they must be able to engage another too, And we saw in the Book of Revelation that they engage the tool of their testimony and the blood of the Lamb. But beyond just that, we also saw that this personality that was referred to as Who was actually overcome at the ten end. And it will interest you to know. That it came to a point where they have to recome to themselves that nothing has the ability to separate them from the love of Christ. And paradventure. They oppressed beyond measure, even to the point of death. They are willing to give their lives, even not to death. So I can submit to you that the reason to wind they overcame is because they were willing to die for Christ. Simple None nothing can separate us from the love of Christ. May be a proclamation, But to be able to carry out such kind of escapade, you must be willing to die. What shall separate us from the love of Christ? Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Who has the ability, who has the infantry, who has the potential, who's sustaining himself the capacity to take us away from the ways of Chris? Who what him? But the Bible reckons that these people could only be able to stand the test of time because they were willing to die. And so I detailed end it was reckoned to them that they overcame by the blood of the Lamb, by the world of their testimony. Why because they loved not their life, even unto death. And that is to let you understand that there were some of them that were pressed beyond measure, even beyond the capacity to w they can bear. For them to introduce the context of death their means that many of them came to a point or even dead. And yet again they refuse to give up, because they already agreed to themselves not ancient separators of the love of Christ, whether perils, whether tribulations where that pains, whether hunger, whether disappointment, whether distress. Nothing. The queresson I have for you is what has the ability to separate you from the love of Chris. And some of you it may be your academy. So some of you it may be your business. Some of you it may be your boyfriend or your girlfriend, some of you your family. You have a very good reason. The fact I say forget about God, your might say forget about God. Some of you is your brother, Some of you because somebody disappointed you, some of you because of notice report there is a report or the notice God. Yet again we are here because of the overcommers, those that were able to stand the test of time, and yet again the overcare. I want to submit to you that for you to have the capacity to come into the campus at this point, right now, it means that there is already an. Ability in you to be able to graduate. Whatsoever that could not stop you from entering into the campus does not have the ability to frome graduating in reasons there were many of you that actually never believe you ever graduate. You never believed it. They tell you that you will graduate, you will never believe. Yet again, now you're a graduate, and if there is something upon you that enforced the possibility for you to be able to graduate, it then means that yet again there is an ability in you for you to be able to go into the corporate society and still be able to overcome. I want to let you understand that there is already a. Grace of God at working in your life that with ut you to be able to survive outside of campus. Because as it were so hard, how will I pay my school fish, How will I pay my house right? How can I be able to survive? All? This is? Yet again, now you have graduated. If the same God in heaven has been able to empower you even to this point, for you to be able to graduate, it means the same God has the ability to give you the privilege to excel outside of these comers, and many of you may actually come to your point of the realization wandering. I came from a family that does not have any advantage. I came from a family where I have to fit for myself. Yet again, you have graduated. For you to graduate, it means that the potential of the confines of the witchcraft, the devinations, the south Stayers, the gains and the liars, and all the witchcraft limitations in your family doesn't have the ability to stop film from graduating. It means they don't even have the ability to also stop I from breaking through. For you to carry the tack of an overcomer, you must be able to be willing to remain within the confidence of the love of Christ, no matter how the get of her. As the journey gets so hard, let your love for God continues to increase as the journey gets so hard. Let's a passion for God never died. Why because it only requires God to truly help you to overcome. By first. I have seen, I have known and have had that hard life. Never can no one that life make men strong. Many of you have to go days without eating, some of you have to borrow, some of you have to be reproached, have to be assaulted by man. Yet again you have overcome. That is a grace of God upon your life to wait because of your love for Christ. It has brought you to us for her. That same grace of God can't take you under to overcome. It's not just as sceleario. You're supposed to be your lifestyle. You're supposed to be a coach. So that as to leave and step into the coport society, there has to be an advantage beyond what is given. As it is with it, we have passuaded that no death, no life, no angel have the ability to separate us from the love of Christ. I want to bring onto. Your admonition, HM, that now that we have graduated whattness, why because life we begin to test you and begin to try you. That's why I remember the last time. I gave for one of the graduation of was it nine erst of which I don't even know. That was something that say very profound. I said, fine, yesterday, you have not graduated until the laws say you have graduated, because it's possible for you to escape from school here and say you have graduated. And immediately you are going back and we can die. Yes, you can just graduate. And as you pack your load about to happen, suddenly you now your lives that once could not stop being campus, stop you outside of campus. It is possible for you to graduate. You said, you have graduated, and you never knew that the reason why you have reached this point it was because you hold onto God and God took you on that. And now you felt that because you have left the campus here you want to leave God. You realizes life become more hard to you than even the present school to which you suffer to be able to achieve his certificate. And so graduation in life is not all about what school gives you. It's about a proclamation that God can give. So you graduate by the blood of the lamb and by the world of your pestiv. A man. You you have to overcome him him. There has to be those letter us, those causes that look so hard you overcame. It does not seem possible from initia. But yet again here is where you are. But I want to let you know that just because you have graduated does not mean that you should neg let God. Does not mean that you should let go of God. I said, now I had the pretty letter lead my life. You are a joker. Why because life is going to teach you a bitter lesson. That is a grace that can make men to tryoph that would say tanks bit to God, which has caused us to triumph in Jesus. Tongues be to God, which causes us to triumph in Christ. Jesus. And because he has caused us to try offh he has thought about us the survey of his Christ. In the Book of Psalm chapter one oh five form eleven Psalm starter one O five Versus eleven, the Bible says saying, oh to the when I give you the land of king and the lord of your inheritance, When there we have bought a few in numbers, yea very few are strangers in it. When they went from one nation to another nation, from one kingdom to another kingdom to another people, he's off an no man to do them wrong. Yay. He reprooved kings for their sake, saying, touch not my anointed, and do my perfect. Know how when they moved from city to city, they moved from. Nations to nations, he reproved kings for their sayings, saying, touch not my anointed, and do my perfect. Or you may be talking about the nation. The anointing upon your head is this that at first you may be changing the location you may be living. But that same grace of God upon your life that has cost you to try home, that has cost you to preval Alaveier, can still go with you. They move from city to city, from nations to nations, and the Bible said he's soft and no man to do the bob. It is possible that you live la Fier. You can move from one region to another region, and he is soft and no one, no evil person. To do you wrong. Why because there is an anointment upon your head and the Lord, because that no one taught that anointed, and do you no harm. Why because there is a not torn it upon you. In keeping to this present economy, the plan and the purpose of God for your life is that you should be able to be a representative of Him wherever you are, and as a member of the Body of Christ, as a member of this Kingdom economy. You can't be able to carry out that assignment. Well. If God does not the blue kings for your seed, if God does not the poor things for your seed, it is not possible for you to be able to carry out the prime call and the mandate of God upon your life. If God allow you to be overcome by any kindness of the Kingdom of darkness. I know the devil is powerful, as many of you are taught to believe. I know the devil cannot press, devil can torment. But there is one thing I know that the power of God can never to contention with the Kingdom of darkness, and the devil can ever stand. There has never been a time or through scripture, that there has ever been a conquest, there has ever been a fight, there has ever been a war to with the devil tried to exercise. His power, and he has won. When you say, too, Scripture, there's no one time that ever will when it comes to the operation and keep it to God, God will always overcome from heaven. In time came the devil desired to reach war, and the Bible said there was war in heaven. And when war was initiated in heaven, it was evident that victory belonged to Jesus, and it came upon the first of the earth that was cut down to the earth. If he could not defeat anybody in. Heaven, he was cast down to the earth, and even upon the facet of the earth, it was still overaking. It then means that the same ability giving onto the enzels as of those times to be able to wrestle, to be able to contend, and to be able to ensure that the devil was cast out. It is the same ability that God has put upon us to be able to overcome at every point in time. And to make it so interesting, you must be able to realize that God, in his infinite wisdom and his infinite power, he has given towards his power so that we can be able to wrestle. Do you realize that the bubis it shall come to pass when the people shall be willing in the days of that power, and through the greatness of that power, with the enemy submitted self. It don't means that the time is going to come when the enemy may come against your life. But through the greatness of the power of God deposited within your insight, the enemy will submit himself. It is true that you are about to step into the point of society. You are going to be contented by all kinds of darkness. You are going to be contented by all kinds of power. But you must have un awareness. You must have understanding that you are not a disadvantage venu. You are coming from the realm of advantage. That is something that God has deposited inside of you. All your sabviegts to God in knighte vers is not a waste of time. All your labor in life, that is not a waste of time. The book of remembrance can be opened, and you can be remembered for your good deed. When God wants to rework men, there is a book that is opened. And when books are opened, volumes open, and kings cannot sleep at night? How comes it the proof kings for their sick? How comes any brook kings from their sik How comes they said they should not touch an annointed person? It was because the book was open while you take out through culture. In the Book of Acts, chapter ten, verse. That's eight, the Bible say, how God anointeen Jesus of nas right with the Holy girls and with power, who went about doing good and healing. Awe that you are oppressed of the devil. Why God was within it. Then means that there is an enebulement, There is an empowerment. There is an advantage that God gave onto the believers to make them to be able to carry out the next couplet and given to life. Paradventure. You are in nine erst year and you have never believed that there is any advantage you have simply because you know no politician. Your father is not a billionnaire. Your father is not a millionnaire. In fact, out of the ashes of pain and dying, you are struggling to bring up bloody. I want to submit to you that one with God is majority. You made nobody, but anyone that know God has not everybody. God has many uncles. There are many of you that are to step out of here. Setting does begin to opull not because they want to oop, but because there is an ability in you that has cost you to overcome and settin. Things begin to approve for you for difference. By default, you must bless a demand upon the responsibility of the grace of God, and say, Oh God, from my leberal in your house for my sacrifice in your house. Let you speak for me. How do you overcome by the blood of the land and by the wall. Of that testimony? It that means, how do you then testify in keeping truth the need for you to be able to overcome? You testify upon the strength of your obedience to God, Oh God, because I have albeyed you all this, whe Oh God, because I have kept myself in life as all this, Why, Oh God, because of the libor the sacrifice, the souls I have worn. Look upon me with the eyes of message, and let the book of remembrance be poll Oh King, the Lord, the Lord of Heaven, will postpose. And we will not bow onto you. It did claim they appear altogether in Babyla, And it was like a challenge how we survived in Babylon when they have no one in baby law, and they were demanded to bow to a strange god. They look upon Heaven, they look upon earth, and they look upon the King, and say, oh King, with all your strength and your might, we are not willing to bow. How can you enter into your man's land and you are dictating the law. Imagine you step into Nigelia. You want to change the law of Nigeria. How long can you survive? Can anyone of us have the power to go against Tinnibu? Everybody went up a protest. What has our protest gone? It has increased the suffering. That is to let you understand that in the way of this kingdom, it's not about protesting. There is an economy we can step into that. We don't even need to speak too much. Thinnibu can be changed to become a good and you'll liscend to the wilderness to eat food. He will be sent to the widerness to eat us. After eight days. And he come back, he will say, blessed be the Lord God of heaven, for he has been deicated and Juliet of my tyran. But for then he go to leave his palace and become an animal. For the next it is it's not protest that we do that. If Dannia decided to protest him by belong turn the Lord the land so that I can worship God, how many hours of protests we need to do before they will lock him in the jail. But he stood his gun and remained pain and continue to prayer. And as he was praying, the Bible said, by the decree of the watchers and by the intent of the Holy One. Suddenly it came to a point where the entire heart of the king was changed. And a king that may never bow to God in heaven came to a point where he act dominated that there is God in the midst of disguise. Oh trick well, not willing to bow twas at the fire. When they told them inside the fire, Suddenly what did they saw a thought man appear in the fire? If they were not willing to bring themselves to a point where they will love not their life even onto death with their theF fortman, there are many of you that actually saw the victory of God. He saw the hand of God at the point of disappointment. He saw the hand of God at the point of luck. He saw the hand of God at the point of peril. And if you have seen the hand of God at the point of disappointment to gain, you are about to step into a society full of sheeps and wolf cluty. Are you still going with the same mentality of another Comma are you. Are you going to to the society with the mentality that you'll be defeated? Many of you, somebody else told you when you are done, bring your CV as I'm talking to you, as they shut down, boy has died or they have taken out of office. I yet again you are wondering how and not be able to excel. My brother, Let me tell you this said truth. The work of faith is not only for personal The work of faith is for anybody that care to believe. Jesus said it is possible to will never believe. All things are. Possible to them that belief in my nerves. You are going upon the authority of the strength of Christ. You are not going upon your own authority. If you can overcome, on, come, pussy, come outside, there should mess and godwan here. They overcame even before they step into Babylon. And when they step into Babylon that they used to compromise because they have made their proclamation, was your sepreters from the love of Christ. That is nothing they have already atain to themselves that as they stepped into Babylon, nothing is going to take away their love for God. Nothing is going to bring them to a print of the tradition. Nothing, It's going to bring them to a point or but sliding because they know they are advantage life in God. They survive in Zion in because of God, and they will survive in Babylon because of God. If you compromise, have every and that will be a man that have double phasis. There are many of you that are gleaning the money. In the night you are blue. In the afternoon you are brown, and sometimes we need the interviewing you turn yellow, So we ask you who are you saying? Just anything you see. As women change mood, that's how your life is. God is predictable, but his predictabilities upon the strength of His principle. If we cannot be guaranteed that you are always going to come and appear and choose God, that's the trouble. I'm just trying to submit to you that there is an advantage to a lady a think God. Don't lay down for anything, so that as you step out there, you are going out there with an understanding that you have an advantage in God. You have overcome and you will continue to overcome, but you only overcome upon the strength how much you hold onto the love of Christ that you have, and you are willing to give up your life. You are willing to die, You are willing to be bitten, You are willing to be chilled. You are willing to lose every opportunity because you love God and because you are willing to let go. There is nothing that God cannot give me. If I would say, well, serve I love his life, will lose it. But will serve I'm losing his life for my sick we gain everything the game. Now, first, what could something to you by the integrity of God that God is going to help you, even outside of this corpless society, even outside the codor society, in the midst of wolves. It shi excluding. But I want to let you know that if you compromise at every time, that God himself will neglect you. And that is necessarily truth the matter the grace that will release upon you right now. If you cannot believe upon that grace, if you cannot hold daily to. That grace, be released. If he cannot be believe that you don't have to compromise, you will never overcome its measure can be continue to compromise. In Babylon, we don't know who they would have been. They were not the only ones that were taken to that land. There were many other people taking there. We only saw that few refuse to shift their grounds. You only overcome when you're willing to remain. Step first, what is the culture? What is the nature? What is the civilization? What are their practices that you are being practiced within the campus? As you step out there, you're continue and you say, many of us immediately when we leave campus, we decide to burst light. There are so many of you listening to me. You came into this campus and count the fire of God. Now you are going back. You're already afraid, our lives a wife. You are bad. They turn back to those your friends that used to organize, who come every weekend. Thank God you are my first and swer you are very holy, because there are lot of more to become up activity that keep you busy. Now you are bad. To be turned back to the people that knew you for the past twenty years, and all the time they knew you, you were a bad bad all the time they knew you, you were a bad guy. I immediately when you be turned back home, now they say, well, less continue as usual. Are you willing to stand your ground because immediately you came into Campo still became very hard. It was God that helped you out. Now you are bad to be turned back to that same society. Don't want to become what you used to be. You have to be able to know that that be soldiate demotation and because there's aldio demarcation. You have to work in this newness of life. Don't think that, hey, now I am about to live now first melowship and as I stepped out there, let me go and leave my life. They want to live No, carry the matters who had again. In fact, there are some feel that the more you di vangelism, the more your business will possible. Some of you, the more you did vandealism, the more does have be hopened on too you. Some of you. The more you talk about God, the more dous you opt not to you. You should be proud sufficient enough to be willing to stand your ground at every point in time. For many of you you believing. For any wise, do you realize that NYC has been proven to become a cadest value, it has becoming a city. Then the place you are men? For I have studied several times, and their lives manually relagionship don n Ys. And it'd be shocked and surprised that many people step into campus on fire for God, they were exclused even on campus, when for n Ys they pushed you out of Lafia, out of where anybody ever knew you. Who don't wake on one day and find yourself in all loves you that came from Lafia, you find yourself in all, or you find yourself in the author I want you to look left out of three thousand people in the camp. Nobody know that yet. And this is going anything call knife is and so you hide yourself. You'll hide your idea, you hide your identity. So if you're now, it's stand for me to flex in my life. All those times we Papa did to stop me, every time prayer, every time fellowship, make I enjoy my life. Now, opportunity don't come. You make matter words but adventure the king to with demand come back well in the palace. Come and enjoy the beauty of the palace. And suddenly you are not tempted. That course, Now that's why you're no that sound who had said us from the love of God? Now who is coming different camera. Who is coming. You overcome here on campus? My brother, we are not guarantee. We're not sure that we step into that. When they post you to all Look or they post you to Casina alack, we are not guaranteed you survive because nobody knew that your father there, nobody knew your Man of God, nobody knew. Your woman of God. That's when this your singing voice would change, or they said it to Zakibiam. By the time you entered there, you now the allies that are all kinds of availability of the kingdom and the citadel of darkness? Are you hired your identity? You hide that identity. You're already about to enter the trap of who should separate us? You're wake up one day and discovered that you that used to be on fire for God, now you have become a member of your club, a member of your party hall, or you have become something you have never dreamt any magic. Many people went to campus. When they went to campus, they caught fire. They went for service, everything died why they went and realized that in the camp there are all kinds of activity to get their very well, to make sure that you're past light when they posted me for n y C. They send me to Kebby State. In the heat of shell ya law, I saw some of the most cannot people. I felt that Kebby State aliar real law, my brother, it was terrible. That was when I saw all kinds of cohabiting. I saw all kinds of nonsense. From the very first day they pick us on the camp. As we left that three ways come. As I entering to where they posted me to in the coppers lot, they say, every new coppa is entire two for your message. Okay, so this law, now who set it in the book of what. But adventure? Behurry massage massage massage so now in reality massage so suddenly, but adventure. There is a lost in your heart. Your soul as being grafted. So let me experience this message. That's how you go. Because toy water's so sweet. The way you are on fire for God man devil was giving you a break. He knows intentions of that. Now if you come close, he beat born, so he will allow you. He will allow when you are quit. Do you know that no fly and move around food that is hot. If you see a fly jumping around playing the food is cool? And shot. Just bring our food that is born in that rise. No, I don't know how to cook, so on can't put the cook, butti rise like this rise. I when you cook you have to live it for like thirty minute to try to eat it, because it's because it's cot sustaining it very well. The level of smoke that come up from. That rise, Jesus, No, fly can't pass around that kind of rise that is not well cooked. You know why here you die? So the fly we wait until when the team is cool. Then you see them moving around. The devil may not come up with you right now. He will alle you until when your fire for God go down. Then he will come. I would say, because any putish bound the love of many with worse cold. So all kinds of iniquity shall am bound around you your love for God to worst. You are in an environment now that is culture. Everything around you and now is church. You are going to live and go back to an environment where you are surround there by iniquity all around you. Everybody around you. You say, bad person is an evil person. You are the only Messiah. If you are not careful in Mesiah will become Asiah. Oh I am a profhet, but I'm a man of for clean liaves. I dwel among people that around holy. Yet again I realizes me too. Amo, honey, you may be a prophet among them, but you too need to be judged by God. You must be able to stand your ground. In short and surprised me in the midst of sharer law, I saw some of them, most candle people, even me myself. I might not have done anything really too bad, but I saw how men can be compromised. How did God save me? I declearn my identity in time. As you step out there, don't be ashamed to say you're a Christian. Don't be ashamed. The only way and the only reason to wish you overcome it's only you are both about your faith. The first thing I have to say is that, see, I'm a pastor, and I'm a very very serious pastor. You can assach my friends. I think I believe they are still learning out to me. I'm here to pray. I mean this sted for retreat. That one year that I'm going to do the service is for a serious business with God. Don't say, now you are living here, you're about to go out there to enjoy your life. No tell your set this set with as you are going out there, you are going to take advantage to set your knife on costs and maintain the potency of that fire, because you'll only be able to overcome upon the strength of the sertain ability of that fire. If it was because of your activity, your commitment to God was the reason why you overcome, and to still maintain that, you won't have to still maintain that the same commitment to continue to overcome. But adventure in the days you step out there and you their lives, that your love for God begin to ask would know that the devil is about to defeat you. Because the devil will never win over a man that's sustained the flame and the fire of God. It is not possible. The devil always come to your point where he has weakened your love for God. And when your love for God begin to be wicked, you discovers youre no longer over coming again. They overcame by the blood of the lamb good or by the power of their testimony and their love, not their life, even not to death. Most time we talk about the blood of the alarm, we talk about the power of our testimony. But we forget to remember that we have to not love our life, even not to death. It must be serious with your life and be willing to give it, even not to death. I always say, when. Matters our concerned, intimute to us how. Men of us are willing to die for Jesus will be shocked and supplier, and not too many when they're going get tougher, many will run away. How can God trust you sufficiently? I'm just trying to let you understand. If you ho don't to go on this campus and here you are today, my friends don't let him go. Many of us on campus. A time came in our life that there was totally nothing that was working. I only see I fail so much on campus that one there said that was say, kay, I have to tell my parents, see you give back to. See of us don't have hope with me because me, I don't have hope with myself. Because at the tail end, it came to a point where we are so acquainted with failure and it became like our lifetime only me change up our five department university. You you're just the mainy one. When I finished science, wolave here because I was a stopborn boy, I was not hearing word, so walking and drinking. They brought exam officer to supervisors. We ponto his tire. How can we pass ye? And we are a very as shame. We are not even a shame to say we are the one that did it. They collected our number. We didn't know that they manas power. We thought they were just randos barbasos. When everybody was teaching yx, when our uncle everything in FNA, I felt like slapping the person that gave me the results in this abaca. Why did you collect my money to make matter worse? I went back again. We are uniform and did they get the next day? Fat matter nessie? I wrote to k and Nickel more than ten times. I could not meet five credits. What kind of course is that? It was not to see us a course? It was because I don't know God, You don't know how much calamity can hold you bow the thinks you live normally. Many people cannot just to sleep and wake up tomorrow. That is if or you you are guarantee you can't sleep and we talk tomorrow. If you're not needful today. There are people that are living on that the best atmosphere. They are afraid of sleeping today. The only reason why you are guarantee you sleeper is because you know God. It's true. What was the last time they didn't impressure? You don't even know that something. Like that is people that every day they are crying because it can also but they can't sleep. That to let you understand that oppressions are reading if you don't have Christ in youth. I suffer so bad, so bad, to the point that one day, anytime they are doing all this morning prayer, I stopped with a money prayer and the earth because my name. They will always say to God, No, you have you have given us many children, You have blessed so many to them, but this one why. It became the black shape of their family. But I overcame by the blow of the land and by the power of the testimony of the Lord. But I love not my life, even not to death. That's be a point in your life where you're willing to give this your life that you think is too nice. This is your beautiful life. You won't give it to the lot and say anything you want to do. Do it me. I thought I would myself. So I thought it was about brain. So I look down on naptop exact. I say, if I came past past an exam called naptop, it's not five credit. I went for naptap. So they organized us in the class called. Bomb a bully. So we sat there when I ended out that business as I might still failed. The next time when I applied it gave me and was it Connell's border. We went to neck office. I would say, well, you know, since we have we have used our brain. It did not work. We understand you guys understand the power of money. So we have neighbors for so long we have got this. Can you at least check our script and give it to us. Let's go and undated in a lucky understanding. So we went to Neke office and we were giving our script. And we went back home and use key points the days of key point comprehensive and we updateate our so after we are done writing our own by ourselves. When we submitted it, when the result came out with still failed, and I knew that it's not giving the man to order. It's that you only overcome by the blowhold of the alarm, by the power. You have not graduated ontil God say you have graduated. I know you felt that you have smuggled you away. You have you have Mago, you know the letters, you have entered every corner. When you're done using your private part, I don't know what to use again because to day we come you meet a man that what you want is not that? How do you pass through that donna? Because you have to be able to realiye that you have to drap your way through everything they turn will come. You can't brave again. So you have to be able to have a. Short way to overcome that shower, the alarm and by the world or the testimony of Jesus and you. Your life should never be something that you hold onto yourself. And it was not long enough when the Lord came and began to help me. That same exam that I'm writing with all kinds of Mamago Connor Connor. I sat down for that same exam, and I had a's and bees, and I realized it will only take God to overcome. To make matter worse. When I now went. Back and got admission to the Univesty, my first department was Michael Bilogy. I underestimated the power of miche organism ontil they dealt with me, and I realized that I could not survive there. So I went to my RETD and say hatredly, I sense that I don't belong in this place, and the hatred the say where do you belong? I say, take me to geography, And by the power of my convincing world, they shifted me to geograph. I did not know that I can only overcome by what the Lord of the arm and by the world. When I went to geography, I thought geography was easy. See no depart made it easy my first When I went to geography, after a while, I discovered I could not re use the map. Neither can I unlighted the map. I discovered that I was the only one that was not seeing route. I was not seeing major of minor road. Everything to me was block hole. I could not wait for the results for two years. I went to the HD. I said, I sense I don't belong to Where do you belong? Say take me to mathematis? When they didn't sell me, when they didn't send me to mathematis. One day I was in mathematis class and one professor claim I don't know whether his wife offended him, and he came. To the class. He was just writing the explanation. My brain was going left and right and left. I was it was so hot. I have to look for pre that to pull my head. What is going on in this place? If I remain this department for two years, n Matt, it came, I discovered I could no longer find X. Went back to the dinner and says, saha, I sense I don't belong. Care Say yo, man, where do you want Say take me to a chemist. Say this will be your last time in this campus. To come the next time. If you come, we're taking you out of the campus. I was looking for a department. That is too easy. I never knew that you don't graduate because you say you graduate. You don't graduate because you have read books. You graduate because the Lord says, so. You overcome by the blood of the lamp and by the power of the testimony. I want to answer that we can play. There are many people that read more than some of us. There are some people that did all kinds of teach Some of them were grated it together that effortless. The way that we're pushing God, so when we are living, can push more for certificate. And we also as Jesus. It was when I went to by. A chemistry and because they didn't told me that I will never commentate, only mean if you Sally are changing for the department? Who is my father? He was a farmer. Yet again, by the authority of the emblem of the law, I was making demands at all time. You don't know what you can get and nature they may give you a carry over the human being. You can work to the office and say, sir, take away this caryover? So who are you? I'm not nobody, but take it away? Why I just feelish you take it away many more times. You can only get what you ask. If you never ask, you may never get. The reason why you get is because you're asked, not because you wish. If you are bold enough to stand before kings and ask, you'll be shot. Kings we give you and many people that have got things that have people that yes the this service. After service, a lady walks in the street, Papa, I have not paid my life being as how much is it so? Man? Do you know at that point she's not trying to negotiate with me. She's demanded. There is a shame that entered me to take again. So I look upon finance, I say, can you give us and so thousands. It's not as if I want to. I never came to that service hoping he will give us something. But because she was bold enough to step by me and say, I never pay mine, so she put me on that to rest by default. And that's one trying to let you understand that how did I achieve most of this? I stood by men, and I naked demand. Even the Bible say us knock sick. Many of those think, hey God, we do it. You want to do God will never do it. He will be able to look upon God and naked demand. And if you can't be that bold and courageous and stand and us, you'll be shocked. You will get because you. Will overcome by the same ability that is inside of you as I'm talking to you right now. I was in my chemistry. Was it easy? It was never easy. I had many carrier over heart a lot. I went to differend of the LEC travers. I say, see, one thing I know is that I got admission and I was graduate. See, nobody will remain in this campus forever. I can't remain here forever. The hardest part is to get admission. You will give me admission. You can most graduate me. Yes, you you, you you, I said, when you're don't talking, Simon was graduate being graduate me? So I'm talking to the dings that youated me from the chemist when they graduated me. Forget about the class of the degree. Instead of me to humble myself. I carried the class the degree. They gave it a great way. I went back after sabbist. I came back. I said, I want to do masters. You have been saying. Now, with the help of God to graduate. You are to do my or do you want to master? You have a calm by the blood of the Lamb and by the Lord of the testing. On said that. I said, come on, lass, I said, come on, waity, I thought I sat down. I don't know. I was just ticking a mackey when the first ness came out. My name was not there. I walked into the department. They gave sah, I'm supposed to be master's today in this department you work, You're not qualify. I'm qualified. I came out away from Lafia to Sarajah. If I'm not qualified, I won't have come Who qualify me? God qualify me as I'm talking to you, I stood and do the masters. I finished the Masters. I went back again. I said, Sir, I want to do PhD again. You are to pH waiting. I want to page by a chemistry and I will finish it. I want to let you understand that you overcome by the blood of the Lamb and by the war of your most. On the OtherSide, guys that you have seen them, that you're let yours and professor they need to book pass you now, Budness and college. Make them the past, some of them, and let my people go that Philoh was. Let you go by fose Israel will know remaining bonded for so long. Can you guys up on your feet and pray as Oh God, they're Lord saying you have overcome assault, You must overcome. You will overcome in this campus. You will overcome outside of this campus. So can you pray before we pray for the final in students, pray and not the Lord and say. Oh God, give me the girls to overcome. Give me the girls. For many of you you will go and staff and come back for masters or whatsoever. Some of you you will go and continue or the aspect of your life. Some of you you will go seeking for a job, step into the office with your attach class. Enter there. I say, I did an appointment. I will never forget the study of a personal MSI graduated from BSc. We that. When an NBC DEPR they opened, they gave opening for able to apply when first class to them, we are coming with their CV and resuming him to game with that class. So everybody was there waiting to be interviewed or can you qualify? I'm qualified? Who qualify you? God? Qualify me? This thing is meant for first class. You are the one that think is by paper made to m qualified and to be shot and surprise at the time end the people that have first class now working for the people that have that class. Do you know why some people who are game by the blood of their love and by the world. You may not have a certificate that is worthy enough to give you anything, but there is a certification in the spirdit. Can you pless a demand, place a demand upon the certification the credit?
