Amen and Amen, Happy Ist. Isn't it amazing that you hear this every year at the same time, happy Ist. And it's almost most of the people who celebrate Christian activities the most are, quite honestly, those who have the least revelation about it for some reason, for some reason, because the more you understand what Jesus Christ did and went through, it really calls for combomeration more than celebration. It calls for a sober reflection. I'm not saying there's anything wrong celebrating, but by the time it becomes a feast of wine and jumping up and down, then it may be that it's because you really did not understand what you went through. Allelujah. It's like remembering the day somebody died, even though you know the person is in heaven, and all you do is just make it a feast of wine and jump up and down. Even if it's after twenty years. It's usually a time of sober reflection and gratitude, but nonetheless happy resurrection someday. Happy is that to you and to a global family In Jesus name, Let's get straight to the business of the night with dedicated services like this to help enlighten us, not just from a theological standpoint, but to connect us to that which relates to the season, so that we'll have a greater sense of spiritual understanding and then will know how to express gratitude to God for what He's done for us. In Christ tonight, we're looking at the power that works in us, the power that works in us. I want to dealk a little bit from the usual theological presentation of the substitutionary sacrifice of Christ culminating to his exaltation and enthronement, even though our touch a bit on that. Most times when we discuss eastant messages, it will range from the passion of the Christ to his resurrection, and then we stop there. But I just thought to connect us very pragmatically to the point of application. The profit point of the entire is that discuss because it will do us little or no good if we're thoroughly informed and aware of what Jesus did without the blessings of it speaking in our lives. Greater part of the discussion tonight will tilt towards the blessing making good in our lives, the purpose of the sacrifice, and the implication of the resurrection more than just the story of it. It's wonderful to have a strong, firm, grounded theological understanding as to what really happened. Like a w Kenyon will call from the cross to the throne, and every believer is mandated, particularly if your privileged to be under a structured mentorship platform, you must have a very, very exact understanding because the entire discourse of Easter is at is the focal point of the Christian faith. And if you do not have an accurate understanding as to what Jesus came to do, and what he did, and whether or not he did it, and why he did it, then you will not be standing on foundation, You'll be standing on sand, holding on sand. And if and when the rains the storms come and beat you left, right and center, you will fall like a pack of cards. So it's healthy to have a strong theological understanding of this. Unfortunately, many believers do not take the time to learn what really happened. The average believer cannot tell you intelligently and articulately and scripturally what really happened what we call the passion of the Christ, or the entire discourse, in fact, the earthwork of Jesus culminating to his resurrection, his assertion, his exaltation. We sing it, we watch it in movies, but for most believers it's not become a revelation an ankle, and they should not be the case. But beyond that, we must know how to translate that finished work to a point where we walk in the reality of that resurrection power. And this is going to be my v is as we discuss tonight in the name of Jesus Christ Lord, we receive understanding. Efficients chapter one, Let's start with Paul from verse nineteen to twenty one. So Paul the apostle is mentoring the church in Ephisos as part of his apostolic duty. And when he gets to verse fifteen, he begins to pray a heartfelt prayer for the church in Ephesos. And honestly, when you read the context of his prayer, you will know it came as a burden. Now, from a theological standpoint, theologians argue that the Book of Efficients contains about the highest, the richest capture you know of truth that was aggregated and methodically presented, especially by Paul the Apostle. And so we find in efficients chapter one he begins to pray a prayer from verse sixteen that he made mention of them in prayer, and he mentioned a number of things. You know, I don't want to just take it from the eyes of the understanding being enlightened, that they may know the hope of their calling. But let's get to verse nineteen. By the time we get to verse nineteen, Paul says part of his prayer that they would know what is the exceeding greatness of His power to us world who believe according to the working of His mighty power. Verse twenty, which he wrote in Christ when he raised him from the dead and set him at his own right hand, in heavenly places. Final verse, far above principalities, powers, might, dominion, and every name name meaning office that is named, not only in this world, but in that which is to come. Believe that, say amen. So he prayed that we get to understand the exceeding greatness, meaning that it took a tremendous the highest demonstration. Please look up based on Paul's prayer. Here he reveals to us immediately that the highest and the greatest demonstration of the power of the god Head was not in creation. It was in resurrection, the greatest display of the power of the god Head. Now, it took power for creation to happen, It took power for incarnation to happen. It took power for Jesus to lay down his life. But that when you are searching for the point in human history where God demonstrated the zenith of the power of the god Head, it was not in healing. It was not even in raising Jarius's daughter of Lazarus. You see that. Now it was the power that was exerted to bring the Son of Man from Hades to the Earth and from the Earth to the Paul is saying, something will happen to you when you understand the extent of the power that was invested in pulling Jesus from Hades, the place of the dead, away together and literally levitating him out of hell to manifest back into the world of men. This was not like just pulling someone from ground up. It was a dimensional shift from hate, this the place of the dead, and bringing him back into the world of men, then levitating him with his body and he seated at the throne the right hand. He said that one was a display of power, and Pauly saying, you may assume you know it. What I am praying for you that among the many things you need to know to strengthen your work, is that you understand the exceeding greatness verse nineteen, The exceeding greatness of his power. Now he says that power is to us word, you know what that means. That means the gist of that power is not what he did in the life of Jesus, is what is supposed to do in your life? If he sients three hundred and twenty. Now, unto him who is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think. There it is again, but the things that he's able to do is according to the measure of His power that is allowed to work in us. Now look at that statement very carefully. God is able to do exceedingly, He's able to do abundantly. But the fact that He's able to do it does not mean it to be done. He just tells you that whether or not it is done through you, or whether or not it is done in your lifetime, is a different ball game together. But for you to know that, even if it never happens in your lifetime, even if it is never captured in your experience, know this that God is able, but that that ability is according to the measure of the power that works in us. It is true that God heals, It is true that God can change a man's life. But you see that possibility does not happen everywhere, and yet God is able to do it. Everywhere God finds an individual with a rich investment of that resurrection power within him, those possibilities begin to find expression. And it's my prayer for you before we begin a discussion proper that in the name of Jesus, the measure of that resurrection power needed for your destiny, needed for your working in dominion, needed for your manifesting victory, like someone goes to the gas station to fill up his talent because of the journey the miles is about to cover. I pray for you tonight. Let this meeting be refeeling for your spirit man in the name of Jesus Christ, So please be seated. What exactly is is that about? Let's start from there. IST or Resurrection Sonday, as we call it, is a commemoration. The word commemorate means to bring to remembrance. It means to mak as important. It means to show honor towards so that we're on the same page when we talk about commemorating a person or an event, it means to bring to remembrance. Number two, it means to mak as important, and then it means to show honor. We commemorate days, anniversaries in our nation, in our families and all of that to bring to remembrance, to mak as important and to show honor. So the ISTA is a commemoration and a celebration of one of the most important pillars of the Christian faith, which is the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. It is a commemoration and then a celebration of one of the most important killers of the Christian faith, which is the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. You find the entire discourse in look. Let's look at Luke's synoptic account, for instance twenty four and verse one, when you read from verse one to twelve. Foror's sake of time, we may not be able to go through the entire discourse. But the Bible tells us that they came and they found a sepulcher empty, and when they looked at everything, they said, what is wrong? The stone had been rolled away, and the Lord's body was not found there, and you know, so on and so forth. From Peter to the women, they went around and began to announce the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. And they came to the company of the apostles, and they saw that Jesus was already risen, and they were celebrating. And then after that, from verse thirteen, we now go to em Hous, where he met two men on their way to Emmaus, and so on and so forth. So you can read the entire story twenty four from verse one to twelve. It gives you the context of the resurrection from an eyewitness account praise the name of the Lord. So one of the most important. Maybe I should back up a bit and tell you this. The Gospel of Salvation has six components, and I've taught you in this house. Let me listen for you. You cannot understand the Gospel of Salvation until you understand the six components that make up that gospel. That means the entire discourse of the revelation of the Father's love that was revealed in and through the substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus. The Gospel of Salvation is divided into six components. Number one is what we call the divinity or the incarnation of Christ. It's important for you to believe that Jesus did not just come from somewhere around him, came from heaven. John one one. In the beginning was the Word, and the world was with God, and the world was God. So the incarnation and then verse fourteen of the same John Chapter one media lets work together. Verse fourteen, he says, the world became flesh and dwelt among us. He was not always among us in the flesh, he was with the Father. But now for the purpose of salvation and redemption the world as a person became flesh, and he dwelt among us. We beheld his glory, the glorios of the begotten, of the Father, full of grace and truth. Someone learning. So the first component in the Gospel of Salvation is the divinity of Christ, and then the incarnation. You must believe that he is God. He was with God, and for the purpose of his assignment on earth to man and creation, he was. They became the incarnate, the incarnate meaning he now wore a mortal body. Away together he wore a mortal body. Number two. The second component, as far as the Gospel of Salvation is concerned, is the earth work of Jesus. You must believe that he walked upon the earth. He did not just arrive as a baby and he died. He glew like every other person. The Bible does not leave us in the dark as to the earth work of Jesus. Gives us a record of Jesus from age one till about age two. Later on it gives us a record of Jesus at about age twelve away together going too the temple, you know, to learn and all of that. And then later on we find that there is an eighteen year gap as far as the life of Jesus is concerned, and it's still been a theological debate till today. And I don't want to go into all that discussion. The next time we hear about Jesus after age twelve, he is thirty and he's coming to be baptized of John in Jordan, and John already as a prophet who was mandated to forlorn to ordain Jesus. John looks at Jesus and says, worth is the lamb that was slain, you know? And all of that. And John baptizes Jesus in what are you know? The story? And from that time, from age thirty, every other discussion in the Bible was centered around his heathwork. The Bible opens up to his healing ministry. The Bible opens up to his travelings, his travel from the you know, Galilee, the land of the Gatherings, and all of that. The Bible reveals his humanity. He was hungry, he ate, he multiplied bread. The Bible tells us his miracles. The Bible tells us his crusades, his interactions with the woman at the well. You find that in John four, his show of compassion towards children. You find his teachings, the intelligence that was invested in his teachings, his temptations when they brought the woman who was coll with adultery. So the Bible is very is very clear and detailed as to the humanity of Jesus. He ate, he drank, he cried, he slept, he walked with other people, He was compassionate, he cried, and all of that like you find in John eleven thirty five. Jesus wept, and then the Bible tells us what happened when he went to you know, get semony. He also prayed, he cried, and then the Bible tells us all that happened until he was nailed to the cross. His humanity. Who's following, sof already number three the third component, the third component. So, by the way, let me say this, why did Jesus come to the earth? I've said this many times, but I don't want to take for granted. This is that. Let me give you three reasons why Jesus came to the earth. Number one. The first reason Jesus came to the earth was not to die. No, he came as an accurate representation of the misunderstood God. You have to understand this. Jesus's first assignment was not to die for seen us. His first assignment was to come as a marking script to correct our understanding the prior understanding that was sold to us by prophets, by priests, by several people as to who God was. I've said it many times in this house that until Jesus came, no man had the opportunity to know God accurately. Knowing God with certain threshold of accuracy was not possible because they depended on types and shadows, visions and prophecies. And Paul already told us we see in part are we together, and we prophesy in part. And so there were many things you noticed in the Old Testament that was credited to God. It was the limitation in understanding of prophets, a limitation in understanding of priests, a limitation in on the standing of those who encountered Him in types and shadows. And it was fair enough. We owe them our gratitude because they did the best they knew to do with the level of knowledge that was available to help us describe who God was. Sometimes they got it well, sometimes they did not get it. Well, Now, Jesus came as a Martin script. He came as perfect theology. He came as a revelation to men, a bodily representation of who God was, so that by looking at him and studying his life, particularly his earthwork, we could verify through him everything that they had told us God was. Are we learning now? So if you say God is good, we cannot just agree blindly that God is good. We have to find out whether Jesus, as God incarnate manifested that goodness. And the Bible is very clear. It tells us an extent that ay that he went about doing good. So based on that we can conclude that it is true that God is good. The Bible says the Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, rich in love. Again, we have to verify that with Jesus. Are we together? It says one I've spoken twice, I've heard all power belongs to God, and we have to verify that in the life of Jesus. Is the reason why everywhere Jesus could not perform miracles. The Bible owed us an explanation as to why the miracles did not happen. Else who have a right to doubt that statement. You said, all power belongs to God, But why did we not see miracles happen here? And the Bible say because of their own belief, So that you know that it was not a limitation as far as God's capacity is concerned. Who is learning praise God? So Jesus came number one to give us an accurate representation and accurate interpretation of who God was and who God is. Number two, the second assignment of Jesus Us was of course, to reconcile men to God through his substitutionary sacrifice. He came as a savior to reconcilement to God through his substitutionary sacrifice. And then number three, Jesus came as what we call a partent man to create a model of a victorious life upon the earth. He came as a partent man to show us God's idea of living a victorious life, to show us God's idea of working in dominion. You see, if God made certain claims to us as God and never became man, we had the right to eventually charge him with injustice. Because you say, you are making a lot of lofty statements and lofty demands, because you don't know what it means to be a man. So he became a man and lived our life and demonstrated that it was possible to work in victory. Are we together so that today we do not have any excuse? There's no such thing as God. You don't understand, he said, No, I walked upon the earth too. I was born, I faced everything met the Bible said. He was tempted in every way, yet without sin. Who is learning? Excuse me? His earthwork. He came as a revelation of the misunderstood God. Number two, He came as a reconciler. Number three, he came as a patent man, creating a model for us of a victorious Christian life. Number three, What is the third component? I hope I've not lost you. I'm showing you six components that must be captured in the Gospel of Salvation. So number one, we said, his divinity slash incarnation. Number two, his earthwork, Number three, his death, his death. I'm not doing an elaborate explanation, justice summary, just for your knowledge. The third component that must be captured. You cannot talk about redemption without talking about the death of Jesus. Why did he die? His death gave him the legal rights to go to Hades. If Jesus did not die, there would be no legitimate grounds upon which he would go to Hades, the world of the dead, to finish up the claims of justice and to collect the keys of death and hell. He says, I am he that was dead and is alive, and I hold the keys. Someone learning now very important? Of course, his death also was a demonstration of God's love for man. Greater love than this had no man. That a man laid down his life for his brethren. Number four. The fourth components that must be captured and understood in the Gospel of Salvation is his burial. The burial is very important. Why because the burial proved that he really died. Listen, if Jesus was not buried, they could argue and say, you know what, this man did not die. They hid him somewhere, but he was buried. This is very powerful. How many of you know that no matter when someone dies, until you bury the person, your heart will not find rest, even if it's after six months, provided the person is still in the coffin, a part of you will not release that person sincerely until the person is buried. And then from that day the healing process begins. Jesus was buried. The burial gave evidence to his death. You don't bury a man who is alife. Even if you bury a man who is alife, the man will still die. More so, the way they buried people in those days, you know, with this cos city, I think last week or week before last, the way they rapped you where you died, even if you were pretending you would die. Look at it. Lazarus came out, but he still was not free because of the way they rapped him. Jesus had to say, lose this man and let him go, so that he will not even die again. Someone learning. So the burial is very important. The burial gave evidence to the death. And do you know the beautiful thing. The burial was not done secretly. It was done openly, was on record. Do you know why because even you know Herold and the people there, they thought to cover the resurrection, not the death. Even they believed and they agreed that he died and he was buried. The fifth component the resurrection, the resurrection, This is powerful. Jesus rose from the dead. He did, he did, he did. First Corinthians fifteen from verse three. Paul explicitly told us that Jesus resurrected, that he died according to the scriptures. Verse four, he was buried. You see that again. And then he rose again on the third day, according to the scriptures, next verse and that he was seen. This is powerful. He did not just resurrect and smuggle himself out. He was seen of Peter and of the twelve verse six. And after that he was seen again of about five hundred people. If five hundred people see you, you truly are alive. I mean five hundred people. What is the probability of it being alive? Five hundred, he says, of whom the greater part at that time were still present, he said, but some have fallen asleep. Verse seven. After that he was seen of James and all the apostles, final verse verse eight. And last of all, he was seen of me, Paul said, Even though I was not part of those who went around there, but I had my own encounter on the way to Damascus, and I saw him. Someone say he's alive. The sixth components is his exaltation and his enthronement. It's not enough to know that he resurrected his resurrection as powerful as it is, was not the end of the story. You have to realize that there was still business to be done in the Holy of Holies in heavens. According to Hebrews, Paul gave us a very strong revelation of what happened in the Holy of Holies, his exaltation and his enthronement. We already read that in Efficients one twenty and twenty one that when God raised him up and exalted him, power was exerted. Philippians chapter two, five to eleven. The Bible says, where for God. That's why haighly exalted him, giving him a name. Hebrews chapter twelfth and verse two. Hebrews Chapter twelfth and verse two. The Bible says, he sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. That's where he is today. And I want you to know that Jesus did not disintegrate and disappear. No, he went He levitated with his body. The Angel said. So it is one of the reasons why we are convinced he will return, because he doesn't need a virgin to produce to bring him as a baby again. When he was coming the first time, he needed to subscribe to the law of territory where he would have a material body. But this time around, he went to heaven with his body. And that's why we know he can return back, because there's no lord that prohibits his return to this reep. He left with his body, and the body is still there. The man Jesus is someone learning now he will return. No, I'm telling you he will return. He spoke about ascending to his father to offer eternal redemption, according to Hebrews chapter nine. So it's it's it's very important that we have that background. Now. The third thing I should talk about very quickly, which is still a reminder that they're the victory that Jesus purchased for us on the cross, covers six areas. Please write this down. The victory covers six areas. One scene victory over scene number two Satan victory over Satan himself, the enemy of the Gospel. Three of course Satan extending with all the demon spirits too. Three Hell victory over Hell, not just Hell as a location, Hell as a spirit for the grave. Five Death, six the world, seven the flesh Okay, seven seeing Satan and demons, Hell, the Grave, Death, the world, the flesh. Someone getting this many of us think that Jesus only died to defeat sin or defeat Satan. But you must see that his victory covers these seven areas Sain, Satan, Hell, the grave, death, the world, and the flesh. Someone lift your hands and tell him thank you for all of these seven areas. Now number four, which is where I want us to dwell. There at least six implications of the resurrection, and I'll give it to us. Then we talk about the resurrection power. That's where I really want us to dwell today, praying the spirit in one minute, the resurrection power Chapran tuskila has sabrand di gavarreatias lebren take a per ecosia shiad Braghasia. Implications Number one, Please write I'm hurrying on because I really want to stay a bit on this issue of his resurrection power. That's where I want us to dwell a bit today. Number one. I've taught us that the first implication of Jesus' resurrection was that his resurrection was a validation that he was truly the son of God. If you're writing, please write that down. His resurrection was a validation that he was truly the son of God. Romance one two to four. Romance one two to four. Let's start from one and then we just end at four. Media one, Verse one, Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle separated onto the Gospel of God. Verse two, it says, which he had promised are thought by his prophets in the Holy Scripture of Averse three concerning his son, pay attention, look at this his son, Jesus Christ, our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh. Verse four. Let's read together one to go and declared to be the son of God Ah with power according to the spirit of holiness by the resurrection. So his resurrection proved and validated that indeed he was the son of God. Number two. The second implication of the resurrection is that the resurrection gave credibility to all other words that Jesus had spoken. The resurrection gave credibility to all other words that Jesus had spoken. He said it that he was going to die, but that he will come back to life. And since he did come back to life, it gave the credence to believe every other thing he had said, whether it's happened or will happen. The resurrection gave credibility to all other words of Jesus. Matthew seventeen five to nine. Matthew seventeen please five to nine. While he yet spake, behold a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice out of the cloud, which said, this is my beloved son. He says, in whom I am well pleased. Then he said, here ye him verse six. And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces and were afraid. Seven And Jesus came and touched them and said, arise and be not afraid. Verse eight. When they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man except Jesus verse nine. Final verse. And as they came down from the mountain watched this. Jesus told them. He said, tell no man this vision until the son of man. Is what reason? Again, he said it keep quiet. A time will come. You will say what happened when I rise from the dead. So they were watching. Is the reason why when he rose from the dead they couldn't keep quiet again, because he said, now you can speak. If Jesus did not rise off from the dead, then we should not believe any other thing. He said. The reason why his word is dependable is because the greatest, the riskiest statement he made he fulfilled it. Number three. Oh, this number two is powerful. I just thought through what I just said right now. So if he said I am the head, sorry for life, I'm the head. If he says I'm victorious, what's your response? If it says you're a child of God, credibility to every other word? This strengthens our faith in every word that he spoke, strength chans your faith. If he did it before, how was that song? He will do it again, same God. If he did it before, he will. Do it again. Listen, let me tell you this. There's no other statement God who says concerning your life that is riskier than saying he will bring himself back from the dead. Did you get that to say he will come back from the dead or he will give you a job? Which one is riskier, which one has more of his reputation to suffer? He's made the riskier statement any deity can mad, and he fulfilled it. So any other thing he said, his reputation is not threatening. Hallelujah. This is powerful. It just touched me, and I needed to touch it first before you know. Sometimes this isn't just gets into your spirit. If it tells you you have a bride tomorrow, I'm telling you take your eyes away from the pain of the day. If the devil ever tells you you think God would do it, ask him where were you when he came back to life? Where were you when he came back to life? Don't bully me? If you were that powerful, you would have stopped him. This is powerful who has learned something? Now? Where were you when he defeated you and all the demons collected the keys and you were watching as he came back to life? How dare you touch my destiny? How dare you bully my tomorrow? I on him and I trust in him, regardless what you have seen or not saying. Someone said, I believe in Jesus allelujah. Look at this. It's like someone who did his PhD and finish and it's a professor right. And he now tells you I will help you with your primary school assignment. And you are asking him, are you sure I will pass the exam? Ah? Are you sure you will pass the exam? The man says, sit down, let me tell you how I got my PhD. Let me tell you how I became a professor. I have two or three PhDs, and I'm saying I want to help you with your MAT's work, and you're there with your small mind. Someone needs to take this message to the devil. Invite the devil to hear this message tonight and say, I have an instant message for you, Satan. Where were you when Jesus came back to life. If you could not stop him, you will not stop my desk. If you could not stop him, you would not stop my becoming somewhere tony to prayer for one minute. If you could not stop him, you would not stop my destiny. Number three, number three, let's orry O. I have a lot. May God bless you. Thank you. Okay, let me just take a sip of water. That's fine, thank you. The resurrection Number three is the central theme of the Gospel of Salvation and the anchor of the Christian faith. The resurrection is the central theme of the Gospel of Salvation and the major anchor of the Christian faith. Bios Spirit Eye all rise from the sheself, defeat. The resurrected King is resurrecting me in your name. I come alive. To declare your thing, the resurrect. God is just impressing on me to stay for one minute on this point too. That thing touched me to all. There is nothing God will say concerning your destiny that is riskier than saying he will bring himself back to life, not your business, not your family. He has made bolder, riskier statements than that, and he brought it to pass. He properside redemption. Jesus came. He profess side salvation. Jesus still saved men, regardless what happened. He said, destroy this temple, and in three days I would build it back. He was talking about the temple of his body. Allelujah. Why do we believe in the resurrection, because truly he rose from the dead, and his enemies attested to the fact that he arose. That means every other thing he says concerning my life, he has the power to bring it to pass. He has the power. If he says you are champion, you are the head, you are above, he has the power to make it happen. If it says you will not die before your time, he has the power to make it happen. Someone shout again and say, Lord, I believe. Let's faith right in your spirit, say Lord, I believe. Just thinking about this, I'm tempted to think about my own life and my little journey with God. The many ambitious and expensive things he said, lofty things that will be like flat three to the frail mind. But I was foolish enough to believe him. God is able. Let me use this for a moment and encourage someone. I don't care what it is that you're going through. If Jesus said he would rise off from the dead, and he did, then every other thing he said concerning your life, believe it. Say I believe so. Number three, let's hurry. Of the resurrection is the central part of the Gospel of Salvation and a major anchor of the Christian faith First Corinthians, fifteen seventeen, Profound Scripture fifteen seventeen, First Corinthians. The Bible says, and if Christ be not raised, your faith is in vain, and ye are yet in your sins. Our faith is primarily anchored on the fact that He died and he rose again Johnny eleven, twenty five, twenty six. Johnny twenty five, twenty six. Jesus said, I am the Resurrection, I am the life. He that believed me though he were dead. Yet shall he leave us? Twenty six And whosoever lived and believe it in me shall never die. Believes thou this. This has brought a lot of arguments. It doesn't matter what happens. The Bible says, if you believe in him, you continue to leave that even if you cease living in this life. I know that life, as God defines it goes beyond breathing in oxygen and breaking out ubon dioxide. You know that by now, when he talks about life, is talking about the vital connection to the source of life. Are we together? Hallelujah? Number four. The fourth implication of the resurrection is that the resurrection established and also sealed the victory of Christ over saying Satan, death and grave. The resurrection established and also sealed the victory of Christ over seen Satan death and the grave Revelations one eighteen. The resurrection established, and it also sealed the victory. He said, I am he that liveth and was dead. This is Jesus testifying about himself. I was dead, and behold I am alive forever more. Amen, I have the keys of hell and death. The keys of hell and death, everybody say, I'm victorious because he is alive. Said again, I am victorious because he is alive. The Resurrection established and sealed the victory of Christ, over seeing Satan death and the grave number five very quickly. The Resurrection, are you ready? Allows anyone today who believes in Jesus Christ to be a partaker of his life and his victory. The resurrection today allows anyone who believes in Jesus Christ to be a partaker of his life and his victory. Hallelujah. This is powerful. The resurrection allows anyone who believes in Jesus Christ to be a partaker of his life and a partaker of his victory. John three sixteen that whosoever believed on him should not perish, but have life everlasting. Efficients chapter one, when you read from verse three right to the end, we're when you consider that later on it tells us right to the end the things that he did, and man was the object of it, and that if you believe, you can step into certain blessings if he sends up to two. Also right for reference one to ten, if he sends two, one to ten. So the Resurrection today allows anyone who believes in Jesus to be a partaker of his life and his victory. Let me give you number six very quickly. The resurrection gives every believer in Christ hope beyond death and hope beyond the grave. This is powerful. The resurrection gives every believer in Christ hope beyond death and hope beyond the grave. The Bible clearly tells us that anyone who dies in Christ is only asleep. You find that in First Corinthians fifteen from verse twelve to twenty two. We're not reading First Corinthians fifteen twelve to twenty two. First Thessalonian Chapter four, from verse thirteen to eighteen. I'm beginning with this theological foundation so that at least we have that for reference, and then I'll build on whatever I want to teach tonight. It's very important that we have this. The resurrection gives every deliver in Christ hope beyond death and the grave. I've taught you this. Everybody say I have hope beyond death and beyond the grave. There should be a word of comfort for someone anybody you know, you've lost loved ones, you've lost brothers, sister, provided they died in Christ. There is a gentleman, death did not defeat them. I can tell you that by the authority of Scripture, that one day, and in the name of Jesus, it will not be too long from now, there will be that glorious reunion. Families will reunite again, spouses will reunite again, siblings will reunite again, in the name of Jesus Christ. This is one of the reasons why we need to preach the Gospel warning every man. It's not about getting people afraid. But the truth is that anyone who dies without Christ is doomed for eternity. Allelujah. The resurrection today gives every believer in Christ hope beyond the grave. Here's how false says it. For me to leave is Christ? You see that now? And if I die, he calls it gain. Now let's dis cause the power of His resurrection. This is really where I want to dwell a bit. Please brame the spirit for one minute shamako sabran tila haasika rabat sabraevencho to theater the power of His resurrection. Open our eyes so God that we may see in Jesus' much less name. We pray write this down the most important aspect of redemption or listen and then right, the most important aspect of redemption, it's not just the victory that came with the resurrection, but who Jesus won it. For the most important aspect of redemption, it's not just the victory that came with the resurrection, but who Jesus won it For efficient chapter one, let's go to us three now. So I'm saying that the most important aspect of redemption, it's not just the awareness of the victory. Knowing Jesus defeated Satan, hell, death, the grave and all of that is wonderful, But more importantly, it's important for you to know who he purchased this victory. For blessed be the God of our and Father of our Lord, Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings and heavenly places. In Christ was four according as he has chosen us in him, watch this before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in law Fife, haven't predestinated us into the adoption? Are you seeing this now of children by Jesus Christ to himself according to the good pleasure of his will? Six to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. Take note of how many times the Bible use us and we in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace, wherein he had a bounded towards us. Again, in all wisdom and prudence, ahah haven't made known unto us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which we are purposed in himself as ten, that in the dispensation of the fullness of times, he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in Heaven and which are in earth, even in Him Verse eleven. Place in whom also we have obtained an inheritance, been predestinated according to the purpose of Him who worked all things after the counsel of his own will. Thirteen. We're ending at fourteen that we should be to the praise of His glory, who first trusted in Christ. Thirteen. Now in whom you also trusted, after that he heard the Word of truth, the Gospel of your salvation, in whom after that ye believe. Watch this you were sealed with the holy spirit of promise fourteen Now, which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession onto the place of his glory. Now, notice how many times from verse three to fourteen the Bible uses the expression ye, we and us that the whole discourse of Christ's victory was not just for himself. We must understand the object, the one who he paid all that price to hand it over to. This is why he calls you more than a conqueror. You didn't go through everything physically, but he got everything like a faithful husband transfers all the glory and gives to his wife. And he gave you the entire victory victorials again the most important aspect of redemption. It's not just the victory that came with the resurrection, but who Jesus want it for. Listen to this and then write the profit point of the resurrection. Listen, please, the profit point of the resurrection is what it empowers man to be and do as a result of Jesus's sacrifice. That means the point of profit in the resurrection is not the story. The point of profit is what the resurrection empowers man to be able to be and to be able to do on account of what Christ has done. The profit point of the resurrection is what it empowers man, or its ability to empower our man to be and do. That means what the resurrection turns man into. The abilities that the resurrection impartsi man is really the profit point of the resurrection. Knowing that Jesus rose up from the dead is wonderful, but it does not do man any profit until you know what man can now become and what man can now do on account of Jesus's sacrifice and resurrection. Do you understand me? Our mandate is not to okay. Our mandate is not complete if we only celebrate the resurrection. The greater task is to become validated of his resurrection and extensions of his resurrection power. This is where the core of my discussion will be tonight. Our mandate is not complete if we only celebrate the resurrection. The greater task is to become validators of his resurrection and extensions of his resurrection power. Asks Chapter one, verse thirty three. With great power gave the apostles weakness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all Ephicients three, unders ten, efficient Chapter three and verse ten, to the intent that now onto principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the Church the manifold wisdom of God. Look or please. No matter what you study about the resurrection of Jesus from a theological standpoint, from a historic standpoint, it will not do you any good until you understand that the greater part of that resurrection story away together, is the empowerment it brings to your life to become a validator of that resurrection and to become an extension of the resurrection power. So there are many people who know the things I just taught you now from head knowledge, but their knowledge is not profiting them nor the Kingdom, because they have not obtained grace to be validators of His resurrection and also to be extensions of that resurrection power. That our mandate is not complete if we keep celebrating Easter and we just keep saying thank you Jesus for what you have done. It's wonderful to thank him, but every year cannot just be thank you Jesus for dying for us, Thank you Jesus for shedding your blood. Thank you Jesus for resurrecting. There is a mandate that is connect to the knowledge of that resurrection. It's someone learning now. That mandate is that I, as a believer in Christ today I must become a valid data of that resurrection and an extension of the resurrection power. I have seen God do wonders in the lives of people. You know, as I sat back there and was listening, particularly to the testimony of the woman who was diagnosed with cancer, and you would think I haven't seen this and heard this many many times, you would be used to it. As I watched her, I just talked to myself, what if the power of God was not available for this woman? That would have been the end of it. I have seen people delivered from demonic things, yokes, bondages, age long. I know what the resurrection power can do. What you see, One man alone or a few people alone cannot get the job done? Are we together? There is only so much and so far one person's alignment can bring. God's desire is not just to have one man of God per territory, one man of God per nation, A few men of God per region. Is supposed to be an army of men and women who understand this resurrection and carry and activate this resurrection power. Are we together that across the streets and in every strata of human activity receive validators of His resurrection and extensions of this resurrection power. That is the greater task that is upon us today. And this is the part with all you respect that the Body of Christ misses. So every time we celebrate Easter, it is rather a thanksgiving service and a celebration service. But beyond thanksgiving and celebration, it must come to us that God is saying, I have done my own part, but I am waiting for you to become extensions of my resurrection power. And I'm going to show you how to become validatos of my resurrection. How many of you know that, as much as you believe everything I told you now, there is a generation that does not believe any of the thing I just said right now, from start to finish. There are children today that do not believe in Jesus. There are intellectuals today that do not believe in Jesus. There are nations today that do not believe in Jesus. So jumping and dancing and singing and even thanking God that he resurrected is wonderful. But the greater task right now is that we must come into a place of alignment and carry that supernatural grace that will empower us to be validators of his resurrection and to extend his resurrection power to the nations. Tonight is a call that somebody will lift up his hand finally and say, Lord, as you seek for men, not men of God witnesses, as you seek for men and women through whom and with whom you would validate your resurrection, I am available someone willing to say that I am available. Whether as a preacher, I am available, whether as a mother, whether as a father, whether as an academician, I am a available that I want to bring joy to your heart on account of what you have done for me. I don't just want to keep saying thank you. I don't just want to keep celebratinga is that as a ceremony until my days are done. The greater task, it's not just knowing what Jesus did, is activating that power and using it to do much as far as salvation is concerned. And I'm praying for you in the name of Jesus Christ, for someone made that resurrection power fall upon you like rain tonight. Fall upon you like rain tonight, in the name of Jesus Christ, witnesses of that resurrection. These are the kinds of people that God is looking forward today, not just those who can explain what happened. There is a dying world out there. Me your attention. There is a world out there. You know, a man of God. I don't know if he's a man of God. But I heard somebody just watching a short clip many years ago online and I think, I'm not sure. I don't want to just read, but I think he was trying to be sarcastic that Christians most times said Jesus is the answer. And he laughed and said to what question? And you know you were people they laughed it over and it was like a sarcastic statement. I don't believe the person was bad, but I just think he was maybe trying to probe their curiosity. And I thought about it. I say, it is true when we say Jesus is the answer, what question is that answer? So of it, don't worry Jesus would do it. Don't worry Jesus is the answer. But there has to come a generation that will really bring real answers to the question that the world is asking, asking many questions that Christianity is not solving. The world is asking many questions that our believing, our faith life is not solving, and we need people who become validators of His resurrection and extensions of His resurrection power. The greatest way to celebrate Easter is not to dance and eat chicken around. As wonderful as it is, it's not just to stop at rolling and singing and saying thank you Jesus. It's not even about teaching what he has done, but receiving empowerment for me. I pray this morning, and I said, Lord, greater grace to be a witness. Can you pray that prayer. Greater grace, Greater grace, greater grace. There is a world out there that is in desperate need of the power of God. Greater grace to be a witness. Allelujah. Now write this down, please everybody. There are three keys to becoming a validato or a weakness of His resurrection. To your generation, there are three keys. There might be more, but for the purpose of our discussion tonight, there are three keys to becoming a validato or a witness of his resurrection, meaning if you truly desire to be a witness bringing validation to the resurrection, becoming an extension of His resurrection power. There are three keys. Number one. The first key is that you must contend for renewal and transformation of your mind the resurrection power to demonstrate it. It demands a new way of thinking. It demands carrying a consciousness of the victorious life, renewal and transformation of our minds. We cannot become validators of His resurrection power when we still have our old ways of thinking, when we do not have embedded within our spirits and our minds the consciousness of victory. Colosians Chapter three, one to four. Please very quickly Colosians three. If ye then be reason with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ seated on the right hand of Gods. TRUO, set your affections on things above, and not on things on the earth. Uh huh, For ye are dead and your life is heed with Christ in Gods. When Christ is our life shall appear, then shall you also appear with Him in glory. He says, set your affection. Set your affection, you will not be a weakness of the resurrection of the power of the Lord Jesus Christ. When you have a mindset that is inconsistent with victory efficients four seventeen to eighteen. Efficients four seventeen to eighteen. This I say therefore, and I testify in the Lord that he hence forth not listen as other gentles walk in the vanity of their minds, having their understanding darkened, been elienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them because of the blindness of their mind. Say afterell me the name of Jesus. I contend for a change of mind. I contend for renewal. I contend for transformation. Lift your voice and praying one minute, Lift your voice and praying one minute. Someone make sure you cooperate with what God is doing in your life tonight. That's the greatest way to say happy. Is that I contend Shaprati makaharas sho pragable patiata. I contend for greater renewal, greater transformation, victory, consciousness, dominion, consciousness. Philippians four, seven and eight. Give it to us very quickly, Philippians for seven and eight. Please for seven, It says, and the peace of God, which so passes all understanding, shall keep your heart and minds through Christ Jesus Verse eight. Finally, brethren, read with me. Want to go finally brethn whatsoever things are, whatsoever things are? Whatsoever things are? Whatsoever things are? Whatsoever things are? Whatsoever? Things are of good report? If there be any virtue, if there be any praise, Read together, think on these things. In fact, I have a teaching like that. You can get it on coin on your global think on these things. Let me tell you the truth, ladies and gentlemen. If your heart looks like God and your mind looks like Satan, your destiny will look like Satan. Away together, Yeah, you can be born again with your heart genuinely saying. But if your mentality is Antichrist, your destiny will be that of a failure, a loser, and you will not be consistent with one who has received the blessings of redemption. The number one way in desiring to be a true witness is to allow the world of God to do a work of renewal and transformation in your mind. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ. Jesus. Victory, consciousness, dominion, consciousness, word, consciousness. It's amazing how many believers believe they want to change their world. But you listen to how they speak, listen to their just study the construct of their mentality, and you know, without wishing them evil, that they're not going anywhere. It's just a blind wish. Before you rise up and walk, you need the mentality to rise up and walk. Are well together. I told you. The mentality to rise up and walk is what attracts the anointing to rise up and walk. If you do not have the mentality of victory, it cannot attract to your life the conditions that make for victory and experience. Many believers still think like unbelievers. For instance, many of you still believe God cannot use you for whatever reason. For instance, many of you do not believe look at this, that the hand of God can come upon you. I know, we read it or I'm victorious, we just chant it in church, but many of us have not come into that consciousness. It is the reason why declaring scripture is very powerful. It is both creative and transformative. When you declare the world of God. On the one hand, you are creating realities, but on another hand, you are feeding your ear gate, and it's going back to your spirit man to reinforce your convictions. Say in the name of Jesus, I am a child of God. Satan has no place in my life. Satan has no place in my destiny. To my beginning be small, my later end shall greatly increase. Say the hand of God is upon my life. Say the wisdom of God is at work in my life. I am not a liability to my generation. Say that again. I'm not a liability to my generation. I am not a liability to my family. I am not a liability to my community. I am a blessing shouted against. Say I am a blessing. The grace to be a blessing is upon me, The wisdom to be a blessing is upon me. The power to be a blessing is upon me. A loser's mentality cannot produce a winner's destiny. No, sir, there are some things I can never believe about myself. There are some things I can never do believe in about myself. I'm no longer slave to feel I am child. Can I tell you this? You must God your mentality the same way women God their gold jewaries. Don't allow somebody to carry his mindset and force it on you. If you want to fail, I respect what you believe. Save Johnny. I would be glad to help you later in the future. But I am on a journey of working in partnership with the Holy Ghost. It took me a long time to get here. Don't distract my advancement. Are we together? It is amazing how error can be bold. It is amazing how limitation can be bold. It is amazing how an inferior mindset can come with such boldness. There are things I will never believe about myself. No, I'm not a failure. Never never. I am a child of God. This is not some pente because I'm keeperish. It is the word of God. I believe it. For as long as my assignment is not over, no man can take my life. This is what I believe. It is true that for as long as I plunge myself to serving God, the resources needed to lift up the name of Jesus will never be found from me. This is what I You can choose what you want to believe. Don't allow people punish their destinies. Then transfer that mindset and don't beat on you. Respect people, but do not give people access to your mindset. Caelllessly. I don't need to agree with you to respect you. I can't respect you even in your error in believing. But where we will have a problem is where you want to impose your belief. No, for some of you, you had the leverage of enlightened parents spiritually, so for you it was rather about transformation, not so much of renewal. But there were those who started from ground zero. Now that you are the eleventh floor, don't let anybody take you down again. It says so foolish Galatians has bewitched you. Haven't begun in the spirit. You want to finish in the flesh. There is nobody who will talk me down from speaking every day over my destiny. I am the redeemed of the Lord. Therefore I say so. It doesn't matter whether you don't have a job for ten years. You will have nothing to lose speaking. Don't keep quiet away together, Apostle, What do I do if things are not working? Meditate on the faithfulness of God of year's past and turn it into a reason to thank him. Someone learning be that person who is waiting for your whole generation to keep dumping sympathy on you. No, sir, I'm a child of God. I'm a child of God. I may not know the answer to everything right now, but I'm confident that he who began this good work in me, he's faithful to bring it to an end. Is somebody learning now you cannot become a victorious believer having the mindset of the devil. Return his mindset to him and start the journey of having the mind of Christ. I o akay a oh okay. In the name of Jesus. The annoytion of the Spirit is at work in my life in ever increasing dimensions. The hand of God is upon me. His wisdom is at work in me. I am joined to the Spirit of Grace in the name of Jesus Christ. Every step of the way he keeps directing me by the power of the Holy Spirit. The Lord gives me. A wisdom that no man can gainsay nor resist. The fate of the Son of God is at work in me. Someone, use this as an opportunity to make your investments over your spiritual life. Stop looking at your correct condition while we look not at the things that are saying. Let me give you a minute to begin to declare. Don't keep quiet over that financial situation. Speak over that my retal situation. Speak a child of God, born of the Spirit, born of the spirit, A blessing to my generation, a blessing to my world, blessed and highly favored, growing in the knowledge of God. Hallelujah. Say this after me, Please listen. I want you to be sensitive to what God is doing to your spirit tonight. Say I reject failure. Say I reject ignorance. Say I reject discouragement. Say I reject mediocrity. Say I reject fear. In the name of Jesus. One more time, say reject failure, I reject satan, I reject mediocrity. I reject fear. Open your march in one minute and turn it to prayer. You can receive it. You can reject it. On this resurrection Sunday, we rejected. We rejected shop rakatapran cap like a paratos yata. For the power to be at work in you. It demands the renewal of mind, for the power to be activated within your spirit. It demands the renewal of mentality, a change of mindset, a new way of thinking, a new way of thinking. In Jesus' name, Say this after me, Say I'm a child of God. I am not a second class child of God. The same blood of Jesus paid for my sins. I am his beloved. Ah, think about what you just said. I am His beloved, So don't don't listen. We live in a world where you find people acting as if they would die. If a certain group of people don't love you, let them not love you. That's their business there, it's no business. Come on now, But they don't love me. So what beloved of God, Sir, beloved of God, we don't love me, Carry your headache and go and leave your destiny there. Allow God to keep love me. Don't distract our love. Don't distract our issue. Listen, listen, this is not just short gibberish. Honestly, if your mindset is not, I'm not talking of being braggados and arrogant, he says, settled understanding, Allelujah, look at this. If I choose to love Reverend Ike, I choose to love doctor Delay, it's none of your business why I love them. If you can't join me loving them, get out and allow us do our thing. God has chosen to love me. It's not my fault. God has chosen to love you, sir. Are we together? Now? You must believe this. Listen, I've had the honor of traveling. I'm meeting the children sometimes, the reckless children of many wealthy people. And while everybody is watching their reckless behavior, nobody can stop them. They misbehave like very very foolish people. They do things they shouldn't do. But well, they are the children of those people. It's only their friends or God that can correct them. You can carry your pain all you want, or find someone to distract you into focus. If you don't like the way he blesses me, if you don't like the way he opens doors, if you don't like the way he lives me, talk to him as for me and him, I am the beloved of God. It is true when you have this mentality. Listen to me. You would admire people. You will celebrate them, but never at the detriment of your confidence, not the color of your skin. No, sir, No, sir, No sir, no sir. The world is accepting the people he anointed. If I stand on the queue, you will not throw me out. No, sir. I am accepted in the Beloved, said, the wisdom of God is at work in my life. I'm giving you a renewed mindset, said, the wisdom of God is at work in my life. Look at me, gentlemen. Even though we're talking about the resurrection power, we're talking about all the superior spiritual aspects by you must believe that it extends to every area of your life. From the days back then, before I had this level of knowledge, I knew that one day I would own my house, one day I would build. I'm not among those who say in a lifetime they will not own a house, not because it means anything. Whatever victory represents my life most tasted simple. That is an arrangement between me and God are way together. Mind what you believe and mind what people who make you to believe or not believe. Many of us just receive what kinds of wrong things. And when you get into trouble in honor to that belief system, those who let you there will not be there to say sorry. I take responsibility. There are people who have died today that should not have died. Their mindset gave the devil room to destroy them. There are people today who are ordained to do much for the kingdom, but a certain belief system kept them down. I don't know about you, but in the name of Jesus, I will only go higher and higher. In the name of Jesus, it w only be greater and greater serving the Lord, greater and greater loving Jesus. Anybody wishing for your downfall, who waste your time for the rest of their life, in the name of Jesus Christ, you must believe this. What's your team?

Your businessman, believe this, my product will be desired. Why should it not be desired? Listen, listen, Africans, we have to trust God for grace, not to be arrogant, but to be confident. I have seen many bright people, but they don't believe. They can't become anything. Brilliant, character, discipline, but they still don't believe because somebody told them something in the name of Jesus. What your background did not help you get.

I will say it again. You will not beg for bread as you serve God in the name of Jesus. Listen. I carried my Bible and I found a scripture that says, whatsoever you do it prospers. It is a whatsoever he do it? In Nigeria he says, whatsoever he do it prospers prosperse. So if I don't prosper, it's not a will of God problem, it's a wisdom problem. I take responsibility. I said, where is the wisdom and the strategy? Because the Word of God has said out prosper, it doesn't mean whatever you want. I've thought you here. He always speaks consistent with his will. Allelujah. You know this as a pastor. You know you in ministry. Won't let anybody make you feel you are less of Whatever I'm speaking to people, especially our wonderful family overseas. I know that the times we live in are very challenging times right now, economically and otherwise. But believer us. Let me tell you the truth. Things will not change till you believe they will change. Governments can change, policies can change. Surprisingly, your life will remain the same, because your condition, more than the economy, is what determines your outcome. This is what I believe. I am victorious. I am the head. I am not the tale. I am the children that the Lord has given me. We are for signs and we are for wonders in Israel. Ladies and gentlemen, please look at me.

I understand that you are not the only person who is in an environment where there seems to be a greater onslaught of demons always have an exemption mentality, an exemption mentality. Crying for pain, mine nots me, crying for failure, mine not me. In the name of Jesus, I don't mean that you stand in front of people and harass them and act childish. That's not what I'm saying. But you must have this at the back of your mind. You hear that they're about to promote people. Don't just think them, think us us, sir. The hand of God is upon me. Are we together? What makes you believe you cannot become the director in the company who told you that somebody told you that's what God asks the man. He came at the cool of the day asking the man, He said, Adam, where are you? He said? I heard your voice, but I sit He said, who told you, my sister? Who told you that you need to give yourself cheap and just marry any kind of person because time is going Who told you who mentored you a life, who carried her pain all his pain and created a marriage modu out of your pain, And it's about to ruin your life and your destiny. Christ Coner, the weak made strong in the safious love. Through this.

No matter the nation, no matter the place, there is favor for me already there. No matter the place, there are men or then by God to stand with me, not to fulfill my own loss. Because I am about this program, I will not be without help. Do you believe this? Let me tell you, my brother, if you pay attention to this world, if you pay attention to the ministry of the Holy Spirit, it will turn you into a sign. And wonder is that It's not just a time to celebrate and say thank you Jesus. Allow the mind that caused Jesus to walk that part of victory to also be at work in you, and you will find out that there are certain limiteds that will not come near your destiny. Again, I know this This is the labor in the spirit. Allow the mindset. This is where Satan attached. Believe us. Don't just celebrate Gista, Thank God you die for me. It is let this mind be in you. It doesn't matter how long that mindset has been in me. If it is not of Christ and will not take me to the place of destiny, I'm willing to divorce it once and for all. Someone learning what you call a champion, it's not a person, is a mentality. There is a kind of mentality that is called a champion. There is a kind of mentality that is called a cellure. Where you say a man is anointed, it's not just a man that is anointed. There is a mentality called the anointed. When you say a man is prosperous, you are not just talking of a prosperous personality. There is a mindset. When you say a man has character, it's not just a man. There is a mentality that empowers a man to have character. Please pray one prayer before I show you number two and three. I like you to cry onto God and say Lord as I celebrate this resurrection service. Every mentality that is anti destiny, anti spiritual vibrand see anti advancement, anti kingdom. In the name of Jesus, let that mindset leave my destiny. Open your mouth and please pray renewal and transformation, a new way of thinking. Let this mind be in you. In Jesus' name, we pray, please be seated witnesses of His resurrection. Number one. It demands a change of mentality, a change of mentality. Number two, you want to be a validator, a weakness, an extension of His resurrection and the power thereof. It demands a new way of living, a new way of living. The first has to do it a new way of thinking, a certain kind of consciousness and transformation. This one talks of a new way of living, a kingdom culture. You want to call it that way efficient Chapter four, Please give us from verse seventeen. You cannot be a weakness if there is no change of lifestyle. God supplies the grace, but you must be willing to partner with that grace. There has to be a radical, evident change of lifestyle. You cannot be the way you were before. And now I want to be a validator. No, sir, this I say there and testify in the Lord that he ends forth watch this work, not as other gentiles walk in the vanity of their minds. Next verse, let's running through media, having the understanding darkened, been alien native from the life of God, to the ignorance that is in them because of the blindness of their heart. Huh, who have been past feeling have given themselves over to lasciviousness, to walk all on cleanliness with greediness. But ye have not so learned Christ, If so be that you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus, that you put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful loss twenty three, he says, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind. See that again, and that you put on. So it tells you what to put off, now, to put on the new Man, which after God is created in righteousness and through holiness. Twenty five. Therefore, putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbor, for we are members of one another. Be angry, and see not, let not the sun go down upon your wrath. Uh, Huh, neither give place to the devil. Twenty eight It says, let him that's toll still no more. Rather, let him labor walking with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needed. It says, Let no corrupt communication proceed from your mouth, but that which is good, to the use of defying, that it may minister grace to the heir as thirty, it says, and grief not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed onto the day of redemption. Two more verses, it says, let all bitterness and wrath, and anger, and clamor and evil speaking be put away from you with all malice, and be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake, and forgiving you can. I tell you this thing. If your lifestyle does not change, the resurrection power has not started working in you. It must lead to a change of lifestyle, a change of mentality, then a change of lifestyle away together. You cannot leave as an unbeliever. You cannot live as though someone who is under the influence of demonic spirits and be a witness. You talk any how, you do anything, it doesn't matter to you. It's like that. That's how I am. No sir a change of lifestyle. Word compliant lifestyle, word compliant lifestyle, that your words become gracious, that your behavior becomes consistent with the word of God. This is not by trying. Through the power of the flesh. You are engraced by the spirit, but you take advantage of that enabling grace. Are we together, Yes, sir, there are many believers. The only way you know they are Christians is when they are praying in tongues. That's not a good testimony that if the only time people know you are a child of God is when you're blah blah blah blah. Aside from that, every all that thing around you is almost demonic. There is a call for a change of lifestyle. Witnesses a life that compels people to think about Jesus, a life of responsibility, dignity, righteousness, power, wisdom, vision, allelujah. Some lifestyles may not necessarily be seen full lifestyles, but their visionless lifestyles, there is still a problem there. Away together. That God has helped you to overcome sin is wonderful, But if you live a lifestyle that is visionless, like someone who is going nowhere, you will still face the consequence of a nonbeliever, Cornonia is quiet. You want to be a validator of his resurrection. To activate that power that is at working you, you must be willing to subscribe for a change of lifestyle. Did you not read the Bible says when they saw those people, they knew they were unlearned men, but they also took note that they had been with Jesus. Okay, strings sang it powerfully. Let it show that I met with you. It's a very powerful song. Let it show. And we're not just talking of the power components. We're coming there. If the only way you show your world you met with Jesus is science and wonders, your witness is not complete. Your witness is not complete that someone should see you and come to you and say sorry not to insult you. Are you a pastor? You say no, but I'm just a well mentored believer and say, well, as I look at you, why didn't they say are you a and I'm robber? Or are you a tee? Because they say a way I'm robbers behave? Thor of use talk to me. There's a way I'm roberts behave. There's a way we cant people behave. There's the way those who have met God behave aeluyer. Strangers should be able to guess without prophesying, that you're a child of God. They come up to you and say, my sister, I don't know you, but are you a pastor? Something about your life, the way you carry yourself, the way you speak, the way I saw that other person shouting at you, and I thought, you wind your hand and give it back. But I saw your maturity, something about you and he said, what is it that you are? Do you work with a church? He said, no, I'm just a child of God. This is what God expects from our growth. That's how to be a witness. For many people, the moment we talk about being witnesses, all they think about is power, not character. Let me tell you character preceedes power. I can tell you that for free character preceedes power. An anointed wicked person is not a blessing. Did you hear what I said? Character precedes power. The world will be more changed by your character than your display of power. There are people who may not be sick, there are people who may not be demonised. But I'm telling you the character of the Christ will be so compelling when people see you they know you're a child of God. It's my prayer for you from tonight that by the power that raised Christ from the death, every one of us here listening, and to the many connected online that are from today, people will look at your life and your verdict without flattery will be that you have met God. You have verdict without flattery will be that you are. An authentic Christian, a genuine child of God. Allelujah. I prefer to be called a genuine child of God than to be called an anointed man of God. Believe me, allelujah. There are people who will run the amount that you from head to toe. They will use every evil world you can imagine, even the one sat and does not use, they will use it. And after they had done this, Okay, what meeting do we have this evening? Ah? No, everything everything, Lord, you who are everything to me? Everything everything, Lordy, your. My trasure, my prid thing. Compare do you greatly the me of your. Of my. You? Truely? I want you to place Johanna on your chest for one minute and pray very sincere prayer and say, Lord, walk upon my lifestyle. Walk upon my lifestyle. I obtain grace to correct what needs to be corrected where my life has not been a true representation of the Christ. Walk upon my life, my behavior, my words, my body language, the way I speak about you, about myself, about others. Walk upon me. Please pray that prayer sincerely well, maximizing the blessings of Easter, work upon me. Let there be a change of lifestyle, a kingdom culture, a culture of love, a culture of honor, a culture of respect in Jesus' name. Number three, being a validator and a weakness of the resurrection demands number three, And this is a very important one. Accessing the resurrection power. Listen and then you're write it. Demands number three, accessing the resurrection power through the spirit and then allowing it to flow through our minds, our words, our hands, our entire body. You want to become a validator of the resurrection, a weakness and extension of that power. It demands accessing the resurrection power through the spirit and then allowing it to flow. It's one thing to access it, but it's another thing to allow it to flow and to flow through our minds, to flow through our words, to flow through our hands, to flow through our bodies, our entire beings. And I explained for you what you. Joss wrote. Larry Flow, Larry Flow, Larry Flow, Larry Flow, Larry Flow, Larry Flow. Oh, Larry flow. Alright here right Larry flow, Larry Flow, Life, Life. Listen to me. You can access the resurrection power through the spirit. Watch this, do you know? You can allow that power to flow through your hands, but never allow it to flow through your mind. You can allow that power to flow through your words, but never allow it to flow through your hands. Now you see, your mind is a channel for the power of God to flow. Your words are channels for the power of God to flow. Your hands are channels for the power of God to flow. Your entire being, your body is a channel for the power of God to flow to you and then from you to the nations. And your yieldedness is what determines that extent of the flow. You can close your mind so that the resurrection power cannot flow through your mind. You will find a person who is very anointed as a miracle worker. But no creativity, no invention, no innovation. You have refused the resurrection power from flowing through your mind. And let me tell you the truth. It's important to allow the power to flow through you entirely, so that you can display the full potential of what the Resurrection power can do. The power does not just come for science and one that's alone. No, the Resurrection power contains within it every the limitless possibilities that can give weakness to the lordship of Christ. It must flow through your mind, It must flow through your words, It must flow through your hands. It must flow through your body, allowing for creativity, allowing for innovation, allowing for global solutions. Look at me, please. The resurrection power, I will say it again, should not be limited to science and wonders in church and crusade grounds make reference to my teaching redefining the Comming Revival. If the scope of our utilizing the Resurrection power is only for science and wonders, then a generation is going to reject our offer corporately because medicine is growing, brothers and sisters, There is advancement in medicine. You are aware of that. Look what technology is doing, breaking barriers. Look what the AI is doing is literally reprogramming another civilization right before our face. What makes you believe that the only thing the world is looking for science and wonders? The same and no pointing that can heal the sick and raise the dead is the same anointing that can rest from the mind of a man and bring global solutions. It's time for the world to know the church not just as a place of miracle, science and wonders, but a place of men and women who have had the breadth of God upon your minds providing global, undeniable solutions, global solutions, ideas, innovations by the spirit of God. I believe this with all my heart that one of these days we're going to watch some of you in the television, either in the White House or somewhere, and they will be asking you, how did you come up with this agricultural solution. Listen, it's time to stop celebrating small things in church, and believer us should start going. They should call you to government houses and say we have read your proposal. Joseph did not heal anybody. Joseph did not cast out any demon, but he was exalted in one day because he provided a solution by the same wisdom of the spirit. Esther did not cast out any demon. Esther, in fact, I hope I'm right. I think the Book of Esther should be the only book in the Bible. If I see recall where the name God was not mentioned. I'm not sure, but I think I'm right. The name God was not mentioned in the whole book of Esther, and yet it's one of the books that displays the might and the power of God, the deliverance of God, the lifting power of God. A woman redeemed an entire race without lifting her hand and lifting his sword. Believe us is good for us to be men and women of science and wonders, And I'm coming there. You must allow the resurrection powers. Start with your mind, then your words, then your hand. For many of us, as the power is flowing, you say, Lord, leave my mind. My mind is not useful. Somebody men told me that my mind is useless. Trust rest on my hand. Let me heal the sick. There are people who are sick. What they need is not healing. What they need is solutions. Let me tell you the truth. There are people who are sick. They will prefer to have money to take care of your family than to be healed. Not everybody needs healing or everybody needs answers. And it says that save your shallar rise from out of zion and believing God with all my heart that I will be part of those God who use to raise solution providers, not just anointed men, anointed for science and one that's wonderful, but we're talking of innovatos. Come on, now, look at this our sister who spoke about cancer. I told you that the supernatural wears many bodies when it comes to the earth. You still remember, science is one of the bodies the supernatural wears to reveal itself. Acts is one of the bodies the supernatural wears. Don't think the supernatural comes naked to manifest upon the earth. Science is not an enemy of the supernatural. It is a gament that the supernatural wears when it comes to the earth. Allelujah. I believe one of these days, not just supernaturally but scientifically, some believers who come together and shock the world with the cure for cancer. That cancer will become like malaria. That someone who say a hobstage four and they will say, Okay, no problem, just take this stuff, take this one, take this one after three days. There was a time malaria was killing people in the world. Malaria was worse than that. There was a time HIV looked like a threat. But right now, look the advancement in medicine. But you know what, as all these things are happening, the church has been left out because we shut down our minds and we say resurrection power. I don't need you in my mind. I need you in my hands because once I can prophessy through my mouth and lay hands through my hands. Let me tell you this, ladies and gentlemen, God is looking for nehe mayas God is looking for Joseph's. God is looking for Esthers. He is also looking for Elijahs. But there needs to be a diversity of witnesses. Diversity of witnesses. It's someone learning that the day will come because of your music prowess. It's not just a church that will call you to sing. A nation will call you and say, write a national and time for us. This is this is a dimension of impact you are talking about. Write a national and time for us. We have heard your songs. Your your level of antistry and intelligence is uncanny. Write a new national anthem for this? How much will we pay you? And you tell them I'm not that stupid. For every time you sing it, your royalty goes to my account. Why will I ask for one of playofs? No I was thought, well, you think I would just collect a bill to write a national anthem. No, we will display the wisdom of God in the name of Jesus. Christ is someone learning something. So the resurrection power is accessed by the Holy ghost. But listen to me. Your understanding and your alignment is what directs the flow. It must flow from your mind, or flow through your mind, then flow through your words, then flow through your hands for productivity, for science and wonders, then flows through your body for your own personal quickening, and then flowing like a river through you to the nations. Ah. I believe in the name of Jesus that there will be young people who will arise without corruption. They will step into a level of wealth that they will literally be writing the names of churches and mission agencies. This one, one million dollars for this crusade, this one. I believe that with all my heart. I believe it. Who are not talking of people who are corrupted by the loss of money, but that they have found a way to dam the world's economy like you tame a dog. I believe that. So while we have others who are shouting the name of Jesus at the crusade grounds. There are others who are in the laboratory coming up with something answers to people's questions. Are we together now? Someone will buy the Holy girls, come up with a solution for autistic children. That becomes your assignment. One solution, a miracle that we don't found sires. I made up my mind that by the message of God, I will never raise the people who are just annointed. Spiritually vibrant. Yes, but they were cut across every sector. There is a gentleman. Our value in the church is important, but we need to have value to our world. We need to trust God for grace to be solution providers. Some of you here will rise up as mighty real estate people. I'm talking of doing business at institutional levels in the name of Jesus Christ. The government will call you and say we want to give you a five year program to help us solve the housing problem of this nation. We're not talking of just one small estate with two hundred houses. No no, no, no, no no. We're talking of solving national problems. I believe that if you don't believe in me, I believe it for you. Allelujah. Somebody will get up and come up with a solution to educate our children in such a way that they will stop learning nonsense and stop asking questions to parents that they cannot answer. Somebody will come up with a revised curriculum and say I found a key. Any child that passes through this curriculum will almost always be a first class student. I found the key. God showed me something about the mind. Do you believe what you're hearing? Every time we talk about Easter and the power of God? What we think is school says wheelchairs? And please don't get me wrong, Absolutely disease is dissolving. But I'm telling you our world is in real need of solutions, and these solutions will have to come by the spirit. And when the solutions come by the spirit, it needs to flow through the channel of your mind. Than your words, then your hands, than your entire body. If the church today, and I'm saying this, you know not to do. You know, first off, if the church decides today to shut away from just ten percent of the innovations that came by own believers, the Church will be crippled. Because we depend helplessly on so many things. We must become that valuable, that valuable, that valuable, can cancer have a scientific k your, yes, sir, can HIV have not? They managed not, not not to manage it, to completely take it out. Some of these demonic sicknesses send from hell. Let the solutions do come from heaven, because even the doctors know that this problem, this is beyond biology. This one just has a biological frame. The origin is from a demon. The answers must come beyond brain. It must come from the throne. I believe this from my generation that in the name of Jesus, who will not just show power alone, who will show wisdom, the excellency of the wisdom of the kingdom, and then will show signs and wonders. You'll believe that. Say amen, go to China today, ladies and gentlemen. Visit China, and you will shut your mouth to see the kind of innovation. On my goodness, my God, you need to see what is happening with those we call gen Zen, no, not gen Z, the one after them, Gen Alpha and the rest. Pastor, you see what these young kids are doing. We keep bragging and saying all kinds of things. Those kids are bright. They are coming up with ideas a child of seventeen years having a corporation that is worth billions of dollars. Young children like that being called to sit down with your grandfathers because of the extent of their value to discuss the destinies of nations. Hi Wo Mu's wake up. We must wake up. We Mu's wake up. In the name of Jesus. Women's wake up. That somebody, a young person will come up with a leadership solution in Nigeria. At twenty one twenty two. You will write a book that will become a textbook in every leadership institution. Do you believe that I lay my hands upon you in the name that is above all names, I pray for you tonight, Make the resurrection power rest on your mind. May it rest on your mind in the name of Jesus. Year me. Let me tell you what we need to experience in our world as a result of the resurrection power. We need creativity. We need innovation. We need global solutions. We need supernatural wisdom. We need a display of love. The world is in need of love. We need productivity. Then we need science and wonders and miracles. Don't limit the operation of the resurrection power to only mirrors and signs and wonders that is important. For as long as we live, we will continue to manifest the miracle working power of God. But we need global solutions, not just miracles. Global solutions answers to the questions that destinies and generations are asking, and God is looking for someone tonight to celebrate Easter. It's not just saying thank you Jesus. Happy is that does not just mean I'm happy that Jesus died. Happy is that means I'm available. My mind is available, my mouth available as a preacher, my hands available. Number four, What does it take to be a witness? Write this down? The desire to see Jesus revealed and Jesus glorified beyond self. The desire to see Jesus revealed and Jesus glorified beyond self, John seventeen and verse one. You can never truly access the fullness of resurrection power if you do not have the desire to see Jesus revealed like we say here, and glorified beyond self. The hour has come John seventeen one. Glorify your son, that your son may bring glory to you. Please listen to me, let me tell you this. For as long as it is all about self, Joshua Selman. For as long as it is all about let me make it. For as long as it is all about my life, my money, we cannot be witnesses. The one who died for us looked beyond himself and saw us, the ones who must live for him must also look beyond themselves. Did you get what I said that if the one who died for us looked beyond himself and saw you, then the ones who must live for him must also look beyond themselves. We live in a world that is very selfish. For as long as I am all right, I have tea and bread. My children are fine, My business is fine, my career is fine. Whatever happens to God's program. That's the mentality that many of us have. But God is calling us tonight. Listen to me. The Resurrection service should plant in you a consciousness to see Jesus glorified beyond self. It is one thing I pray for every day of my life. Thank you, Father for what you have done for me. But may I live beyond myself. It was pro who made a powerful statement, Professor John Kennedy, and it said, those who live beyond themselves also live beyond your time. If you live beyond yourself. Our world is too selfish. Even the christiandom is too selfish. What is happening to the missionaries, it's nobody's business. What is happening as they are a chilling other people somewhere, it's nobody's business. Once it does not come to your doorstep, it is nobody's business, you say. Once we keep having that kind of selfish attitude, we will never win the world and will never be used as witnesses. Those who brought the gospel to us, they looked beyond themselves and they came with the gospel. Some of them died, not just in Nigeria, but across from Europe, and so on and so forth. Today many of us received that gospel at the platter of gold. But we're not even willing to tell somebody anything about Jesus. Call for a meeting and call it a training on evangelism. Well, not coin on here, but generally across the church. You will just find a handful of people. Or call that meeting a prophetic power, prophetic destiny activation meeting, and you'll be surprised. Even if it is to sit on his stone, people will sit there and say, my destiny must open up. My destiny must open up, even if it's at the expense of the kingdom. There is a gentleman. Let me teach you a nobler way to live. God is mindful of your life. But you can get value from life beyond personal satisfaction. Your joy can come knowing that you are serving a purpose beyond tea and bread. And this is what God is calling us to do. I live a life beyond myself. And even though it is a sacrificial life, it is an extremely fulfilling one. You as past us and ask men of God, they would tell you this work, you see, is a lot of sacrifice, but it is with joy knowing that because you are alive, someone else who find Jesus, someone else who find purpose. It is what every sacrifice. It's all about you, jeez Esus. And all this is for you. It's for your glory and your faith. It's not about me. As if you ushuld do things MoU way you alone a and I Surand let me ask you a question. Do you think the missionary who leaves his wife, excuse me, who leaves his wife the horse van and goes to a mission field and sometimes dies there? You think they did not have a plan for their life. Do you know our generation does not even know what a missionary looks like. I'm telling you an average young person between let's say fifteen and twenty, it's possible they've never seen a missionary. They don't know what a missionary looks like. They're no pastors, they're no apostles, but not missionaries. Some of these people live and come back, and you see them lean as if God rejected them. Is the sacrifice the person who spends billions of his heart and money in charity. Do you think they don't know what to do with money? No, a woman who pays her money feeding young girl's, parting prostitutes, away from the street, rehabilitating young people. You think they don't want a great life to Can they carry those millions of dollars, relocate to another nation and live for themselves. When I was teaching you discipleship, I taught you something here. The value of life is not what you gain for yourself. The value of life is how much you allow yourself to be spent for the sake of His majesty. Now, it doesn't mean to disregard yourself and your personal comfort, but that the Kingdom becomes priority. I've made up my mind. I will live a comfortable life as I serve the Lord. But that my mind will go is my mind has left myself long ago. I'm all about the Kingdom. Whatever this man you see standing before, he's already a dead man. When you want to know the secret behind the hand of God on people, find out your passion and their love for God, not just the religiousity. My call for you tonight, ladies and gentlemen, is that if you desire to see the power of resurrection work in your life, and if you truly want to celebrate Easter the way that brings joy to the Father's heart, it must go beyond just saying thank you Jesus. It must go beyond just reminiscing on his death for you. His grave is there as a testament that he gave himself for orders. I'm not asking you to die physically, but let me see how far you can go to prove that you love him. At the very least the person you lead to Jesus. It's a terrible thing to celebrate Easter without bringing one soul to Jesus, and said Jesus, I may not be able to do much for now. I may not have all the money to sponsor who says to send for Sound of Reviver and every other program. But the one thing I know that I can bring to you to say thank you for dying for me is one soul. Here is the salvation of my father finally saved, my mother, finally saved, my friend finally saved. When you talk about evangelism in church and you talk about missions, the average believer just becomes sympathetic to what you are saying. But it's not a revelation that has gotten into the hearts of many people. They honestly don't care. The grace to Winsuls, you're not here, amen, or the grace to find favored this week, somebody will lift two of your hands and learn two of the hands on the head. In case it escapes here, this other hand will pick it in most rest for the and I'm not being sarcastic, two hands, amen, Amen, or the grace to Windsuls. Let's leave it for all these people. I pledge alegents to. With all. We all. I too. Come well. When you sing me one more time, I let it bit from the depth of your heart. Must Allelujah, not everybody will be a missionary. Not everybody will function in the fivefold. Not everybody will be an academician, Not everybody will be a politician, not everybody will be a professional. But everybody should be a witness. And the business of witness is about bringing profit to the Master for the sacrifice. I want to stand before Jesus. And the testimony that I bring is not thank you for saving me. That should only be number one, thank you, Lord for saving me. But by messy and by grace, these are the souls who used to sing as him in the seminary. Must I go an empty handed? Must I meet my savior soul? It says, not one soul with which to greet him? Must I empty handed? Go? Some of us? Honestly, our hands are empty. If I told there's anything in your hands? Prayer request you want to pass to him? Lord? What about this one? But I want us to use this Easter period as we wrap up, and we're going to pray just one prayer tonight. I will speak over your life. But your one prayer tonight is, Father, empower me to bring you glory through my life, and power me to bring souls to you through my life, And power me to change my world through my life. Someone lift your voice and pray. Let it go beyond you tonight. Let it go beyond you tonight. Live the issue of my life, my ministry, my wife, my children. Lord empower me. I'm asking that the resurrection power will rest upon me, but my father, not for myself. I'm asking, no, God, that you will grant me access to the wealth of the kingdom, but not for myself. I'm asking, O, God, that you will grant me define solutions, creativity, innovation, but not for myself. Let my heart be stayed on bringing you glory, stayed on drawing many to righteousness, those who are connected across the globe. We are praying, Yeah, while placing value on the Easter period, I obtain grace beyond me, beyond I, beyond myself. This is about you. This is for your glory. Chapar test a backaparatus capra capalanto's siata. This is for your your glory, This is for your glory. This is for your glory. Chaparantos coprain tact don't look at me, pray. Make sure you're praying. This is for your glory. Allelujah, allelujah. When your life. Please look at me. When your life becomes all about Him, then you will see the resurrection power at work in your life. You will not just be ther logic over the fact that He has reasen. Your life will show that He's reason. You will not just give people an intelligent discourse about the happenings around Calvary. Your life will become an extension of it that when men look at your life, they will know Jesus truly is alive. This is what I desire for my life to be. This is what I desire for you to be. This was what the Lord put in my heart for you today. There is an ability that God desires to be at workin us, deposited within us by the Spirit, and can rise in ever increasing measures. It's called the resurrection power. But it must be activated. Activated number one by the superiority of the alignment of your mindset your consciousness. Activated Number two by your willingness to live a lifestyle in experience that brings glory to God, knowing that your lifestyle is a nobler and a greater witness. Number three activated by taking advantage of the investment of the Holy Spirit of that power within you, and then allowing it to flow through your mind, to flow through your mouth, to flow through your hands, to flow through your life, bringing creativity, solutions, innovations, answers both technological and otherwise, then science and wonders. Heracus believer rancis, Now you are maximizing the distribution of that power resurrects everything that is dead, and then the resurrection power is activated. Number four. When there is a desire, a predeterminate desire in your heart, that everything about your life will not be for self. One of the cardinal elements in discipleship is teaching people how to die to self and to live unto God. No matter what you teach people, if they do not learn how to die to self, then you did not teach them much. You must know how to live beyond yourself. Every great man, whether you serve the devil or serve God, it would demand a level of death to self to serve God. Even though Satan is the originator of self, he will still demand that you look beyond yourself if you want to serve a course that is significant to the demonic world. So also it is with God. If we all look to ourselves, then we'll not be doing some of the things we're doing now, or sometimes we bend over backwards, because it is nobler for death to work in us, that life will work in people. If someone learning, rise upon your feet. Everybody hold hands with someone. We're going to pray to prayers in addition to the one I gave you for yourself. Our first prayer is for the Body of Christ. Then the second prayer will be a personal request. We're going to pray over the security situation. I know we pray that earlier, but I want us to lend our voice as the church, as responsible believers. So the first prayer that is going to be for the Body of Christ, and we're going to say, Lord, grant that from this Easter period, let the Body of Christ raise witnesses beyond members, raise weaknesses beyond members, validators of your life and your resurrection. Power in thinking, in character, in wisdom, in power. Open your mouth and pray across every church, across every denomination, beyond members. Let there be an imaginance of true witnesses, men and women whose orientation goes beyond self, goes beyond justus, empowering the Nuclean ministry to the larger program of God. Men and women who love God more than their lives. Men and women who love God more than tea and bread. Lift your voice. Pray that passionate prayer for the body of Christ beginning from coin Onia Chaparadi Maha, Saprakata Ba lack of supregate Laco Siata Lord Raised. Men and women who love You beyond themselves. Men and women who will allow your power the resurrection power. Men and women who will bring profits, profit to the resurrection by bringing souls, by transforming nations, by revealing Jesus more than just personal ambitions. Men who will rise as lights, rise as salts in Jesus' name. Allelujah. Now we're going to pray. I'm sure that before I came up there were prayers that went, but I still want us to pray just one minute. We owe it as an apostolic and prophetic community to pray, particularly over some of the happenings, the killings. You know, there are many more beyond that which we have seen, from Platus day to Carduna to Nasarawah. I think the most recent, and we are responsible people will fight our battles with honor until victory is established. Two prayers in one for all the families that may have been hurt by this senseless mayhem of evil doers. We're going to pray that God will comfort them. And then I like us to pray and declared judgment upon the camp of the wicked, that there will be no peace for evil doers us, that those who refuse to sleep until they have taken blood, that God will arise as a god of vengeance. Open your mouth in one minute and pray comfort for the families, Judgment for the wicked, Comfort for the families, chudgment for the wicked. Men and women who are determined to work with doubtless and render women's widows, render men widowers, render children oftens, sabotage the progress of states and regions because of sentiments they monically engineered hatred. Please open your mouth and pray passionately. Shopra catabe like a paraantos cut their catar. We pray for Platou State. We pray for Dunas States. We pray for ben Way. We pray for Nasarahwah as a point of contact to all other regions in Nigeria. We pray for the government wisdom upon them in the name of Jesus. We pray for the military, the Air Force, the Navy, civil defense, our judges, wisdom upon them, that we get people will never escape the vengeance of God. Now those who have taken away the peace of families, they will never know peace. That heath will haunt them, the elements of creation will haunt them. Declare that God will expose this we can evil do us. That they will be brought to a book, brought to justice. That God will cause wars to cease. That our brothers will have peace. In Jesus' name, we pray. In Jesus' name, we pray. I just felt led in my spirit to ask you, for just two minutes, let it be a time of personal petition. I didn't intend for us to do that, but while we're just praying for troubled regions, it was just quickening my spirit to allow everybody for the next two minutes. I don't know what you want to see God doing your life in this Easter. Maybe it's the salvation of your loved one. Maybe it's supernatural empowerment upon your life and ministry. Maybe it's to take away shame. For the next two minutes. Following online, all the overflows here and the main auditorium. Please lift your voice just two minutes. Cry to the God of Heaven. Let me release my faith with you in the name of Jesus. Don't keep quiet. Pray for yourself and pray for someone around you. Is a resurrection power. What has died, what is dead in your life that you are trusting that the Savior will bring back to life. If that same spirit that raised Christ from the dead dwells in your mortal body, it says that same spirit will quicken, revitalize. Some of it is your finances, some of it is your marriage, some of it is your family. Some of you you are trusting God to visit foundations. Go ahead, please pray, don't be silent. Yeah, one more minute. There is an ability that works within you. Steer it up as you pray, according to the power that works in us.

Creation will shout Osi no o sigh oh, sing this part from your heart. Oh. The nations will sing your signe Creation Lord, You are worthy into the You are Lord most High. A sense in my spirit that this is ties a breach for someone from this moment, honestly sensitive my spirit that there are people who are stepping into a new season in their lives, a new season, a new season of the anointing, a new chapter in your destiny in the name of Jesus Christ. And my prayer is that as you step into this season, the nations will glorify God because of you. For someone, I says in my spirit that this is ties bringing an end to your wilderness season, your season of testing, your season of proving and trying has come to an end. And what follows after now is your season of appearing. The things you did before that did not work. Now, because you are in a new season, you would do it. I need to announce you. I release that grace upon you. I'm just ministering as a holy spirit is placing it in my heart that this is tie a breach, is bringing an end of a season. You will not necessarily do anything different. It's just that because seasons have changed, what didn't work before will now walk in the name of Jesus for someone, I call it your season of laughter. Your season of restoration. God is wiping your tears. Those who have asked, what is God really doing with you? This season will be the answer in the name of Jesus. For someone because of the season you are entering, God will so ah know you. You will tell the world it pays to wait upon the Lord. I'm hearing in my spirit, the spirit of prophecies upon me. The weight is not in vain. This is God's prophetic word to someone. The weight is not in vain, that in it my glory will be revealed. The weight is not in vain. In it, my glory will be revealed. I pray for you the grace to the grace to wrap up that season, and with honor and galancy you will enter into your next season. Dear me the same way, the grape did not hold Jesus forever. Whatever it is that has held you, no matter how long. For Jesus it was three days. For Israel, it was four hundred and thirty one years. For the man that bettens, that was thirty eight years. For the woman bent over, it was twelve years, eighteen years. The woman with the issue of blood, it was twelve years. For Abraham, it was twenty five years. No matter the timing, I pray for you on this resurrection morning. I stand in partnership with the Ministry of Angels. We roll away the stall. We roll away the stall, the tone of shame, the stone of delay, the stone of the harassment, the stone of discouragement, the stone of stagnation. And I declare, in the name of Jesus, because he arose, May you rise off from the ashes, rise off from the pain, rise off from the disappointment, rise off from the discouragement. In the name of Jesus. Let us be a spectacular ist for you, that beginning from Monday, it would be celebration of victory, celebration of triumphs, celebration of glory. That because of the glory that will come upon you, you will not remember your days of pain. In the name of Jesus Christ, my God will wipe your tears. My God will wipe your tears. This is not a word for everybody, but for someone. My God in this season will wipe your tears. And for some of you you will step into spectacular anointings, spectatular graces for science and wonders, spectacular graces for miracles, spectacular graces staring the prophetic, spectacular crass for visions, spectacular graces for extra ordinary intelligence, spectacular graces for advancement, spectacular graces for wealth and influence in the name of Jesus. Now you can turn to your neighbor and tell them happy is that it means victorious ist glory be to Jesus. Everyone, please remain standing. We're rapping up. Thank you Jesus who was blessed today. Listen to the message again. Listen to the message again, and align with the things that cause that resurrection power to rest on you. Please, everyone stand. Let me make the out call. There's no other day that is best to present souls to Jesus as today. Every other day is important, but right now let me speak to someone. Perhaps you are that trophy that God has ordained tonight to be presented to Jesus as his soul saved, a life transformed for your sake. Jesus came and he died, and he said, if you would believe in him, you would not perish. It's a law, but that you have ever lasting life. I'm speaking first to those in this auditorium, and then to all those across the overflows, all our expressions and to the many following online.
