THE PRICE FOR NEW DIMENSIONS. Koinonia (Abuja)

M a place of enchallenges with the foolish spirit and transformation by the principles of God's kindle. Lift your hands to heaven, and let's bless the name of the Lord. Lets that be the name of the Lord, the doua of wonders. With your hands to him and give him praise. Jesus will bless you. Indeed you are greater mighty God. Bless his name, Give him all the praise, Adore him, exalt him. He has done things well, And to him be all the glory. Someone is saying, thank you, Jesus, Thank you for breath, thank you for life, Thank you for wisdom, Thank you for access to your grace. Let a grateful heart keep thanking the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. To him that duet wonders, We thank you. Now bless him for tonight's meeting. Let your word come with power, O God, let it change my life. In the name of Jesus Christ, Declare over your life, Declare over your spirit, Declare over your mind. I am transformed tonight even by the power of the Spirit. I access higher realms in the spirit, by the wisdom of the world. For in Jesus' name, we pray Father, help us tonight in the name of Jesus. We will never take your presence for granted. Thank you for your abiding presence, that our lives never be the same. At the end of the service, unto you be all the glory, whilst the word of God comes. Let us sick be healed. Let your press be delivered. In the name of Jesus. It will turn lives around tonight to the glory and the praise of your name. For in Jesus' name we pray God bless you. Please be seated. Welcome you with again to the House of the Lord. This is coin on here Allelujah. I want to us you remain ever grateful for the mighty hand of God in our midst for his mercies upon our lives. Every time I sit back and I listen to the testimonies, you know these things are not the workings of a man. They are the workings of God through men. But no man, unassisted by God can produce these results. Nicodemus already taught us he came to Jesus and his Arabbi. We know that now at a man sent from God. For no man can do these things except God. Be with him, allelujah. And so we thank God not just for these testimonies, but for what God is doing in and through this ministry across the nations of the Earth without exaggeration, phenomenal manifestations of His spirit transformation even by the Word of God. And we thank God for what He's doing. As always, let me encourage everyone, especially those who are connecting from across the world. You are as much a part of our family as those who are within seated in this place, whether you're in Ghana, South Africa, UK America, doesn't matter. Even technology has given us intelligence to know that relative to rich distance is no longer a barrier. Allelujah. And I have taught you here. And it bears mentioned again that fans don't receive anything. There is no provision for fans of anything. Those who admire superstars, there's no stake for them, There is no inheritance for them. So you must move graduate from being a fan, graduate from being a well wisher, in fact, graduate from being a member to become a student of Scripture, one who is opened and determined to hear and learn. I teach for the effect of transformation, not just for the communication of an awareness of an information behind the things that I do. When I teach, I hope and pray and seek to see people transformed. Allelujah. So I want to encourage you, whether you are following from any part of the world at all, and then even for us who are here, connect sincerely by the covenant of understanding. Lord, this is my word, this is church for me. My heart is open to receive. And right there in your room, your office, your home, the coin Onia experience is not only limited to this auditorium. The Cononia experience is a spiritual experience that can be transported by faith to any region, any home, any locality away. Together you can replicate the Cononia experience by your faith. So right there in your room, it can be Coinonia for you, in your office, anywhere at all. There are certain conditions that must happen for Coinonia to happen. The presence of the Man of God is the last of the conditions. Number one. It is the presence of God. Number two. There must be an atmosphere of faith. Number three. The ministry of the Holy Spirit must be respected. Number four. The supremacy of the world must be honored. Number five. There must be a teaching priests who is able to communicate the counsel of God with exactitude and precision number six, there must be excellence if that happens. That is the Cononia experience, regardless where you are. So it's important that you don't idolize the experience. It is localized just for the sake of administration and to be able to bless those who are domiciled within that environment. But as far as the experience is concerned, it can be transported anywhere, even now allelujah. So it's important for us to know. And I think the second thing I would want to say before we get to the world is you must have this understanding. Please listen carefully. You must have this understanding that every time you see me travel to any region in this nation or any nation of the world, it is not a man of God just going to preach. You need to understand that you are also with me on that trip by covenant. Are we together? Yes, Because when you are bound by covenant and by revelation, you need to understand that it is not there would be one person who who is doing the preaching and God walking the miracles. But I want you to know that every glory every joy is to Jesus. But in terms of the honor, the honor is shared honor to all of us. I've told you that the days of superstar Christianity is over. God is not just interested in celebrities, is interested in ambassadors. The difference between a celebrity and an ambassador is purpose. Allelujah. Are we together now, so as we travel across the nations of the earth bringing the message of life, blessing the body of Christ. Influence is a very expensive commodity. You don't play with it. You can destroy with influence, the Bible says a man of honor who does not know you can go to a church and bless the church and still wreck the church because of the mismanagement of influence. Influence is a delicate and an expensive commodity that if trusted with it by God, you must obtain the grace to be able to manage it so that it does not destroy. Are we together? So that's that? But then my message really is that all of us, let me show you one scripture? Can I show you one scripture? First? Samuel thirty, give us thirty and twenty four. Let's have amplified. Then will have any other version NLT or CEV. It says, who would listen to you in this matter? For us? Is the share of him who goes into battle, so is the share of him who stays by the baggage. They shall share alike. Are you seeing that? Now? That means the person who goes to do the actual fighting and the one who is waiting behind, protecting maybe the bags. The Bible says, both of them have equal share. This is a very powerful revelation. So that the one who is preaching from nation to nation and the one who is sewing, the one who is praying, the one who is wishing well, the one who is using his influence to make the journey easy together, the Bible says, all of them are preaching together. Let's see see ev or nalty anyone, please give us another version? Now it says, who will listen to you when you talk like this? It says, we share and share alike. Those who go to battle and those who guard the equipment, all of them share alike. So for the souls that are worn anywhere when we return back, don't just say wow, God bless him. No, Father, we thank you for the souls that were one. And you expect that as God is blessing, your own portion should come to except if you are not genuinely connected and accept. If you are not participating, if not in giving, in prayer, if not in prayer, in well wishing. If not in well wishing, you help someone to connect to the meeting in your nation wherever, have this at the back of your mind. Number One, we do what we do not just because of the reward. We do it essentially because we love Jesus. However, the truth of the matter is that a worker is worthy of his wages. Away together, Yes, so just to give you that understanding that you connect by faith. So whether you are in Abuja here, or any part of this nation or any part of the globe, connected by covenant and understanding this vision, anywhere you seek God doing mighty things to us. It is a joy to all of us. It is not a joy to one person supported by fans. That's not a kingdom understanding Away together, it is Jesus Christ glorified through those miracles, through the transformations, and then he gives the honor to the saints that he has used. Allelujah. Do you have that understanding now? All right? So let's go straight to the world. May tonight teaching bless our heart in Jesus' name. Tonight's teaching was designed by the spirit of God to help us. You will never come for a coin on your service and lack a spirit inspired word, compliant, life applicable, Kingdom truth. I didn't play with words. Spirit inspired word, compliant, life applicable, Kingdom truth that makes for your lifting, for your rising. It is these adjectives that help you to understand the quality of what you are receiving. The speakings of a man on its own does not change, doesn't really bless It is when it is spirit inspired, word, compliant, away together, life applicable. That means at the end of every teaching, by the grace of God, you should find the point of application in your life. Allelujah. Tonight I'm teaching on the Prize for New Dimensions. It's a powerful teaching that will change your life. This is a teaching for those who desire more. This is a teaching for those who know that there is more. This is a teaching for those who have refused to plat to in life and destiny in their walk with God. This is for those who know and believe that God is able to do abundantly far above all we ask and think. And if you are that person, say amen, Allelujah, open our eyes to night and grant us grace. For in Jesus' name we pray. Can you turn it into a prayer? In fact, I like every time we participate in prayer, Lord, open my eyes, reveal to me the keys. In Jesus' name, we pray. All right, So let's get to work. Probabs Chapter four and verse eighteen. The Bible tells us that the path of the just is as a shining light that shineth more and more, even onto the perfect day. The perfect day is the day when the Lord comes. The perfect day is not the day when you shine brightest. The perfect day is that day when the Lord comes to wrap up life as we know it. So until then you have not gotten into that perfect day. And there is still room for more. There is still room to keep pressing. The Bible says, more and more is the heritage of everyone who is justified. Are we together more and more? Not more alone? Not more? Once more and more? One level of greatness after another, one level of encounter after another. Job Chapter twenty eight, from verse seven and eight Job himself was giving us a testimony by the spirit that there is a path which no foul knoweth, which the vulture's eye hath not seen. Job is speaking now. It says, the lions whelps have not trodden, nor the fierce lion passed by it. Give us verse seven again. Do you know what this means the vulture? If you study the vulture, the vulture is a very strange bird. It can pick with precision anywhere there is meat that is dead and rotten. Are we together now? With precision from a high altitude, you see them roaming around about to us, you see them roaming anywhere there is a dead body, anywhere there is anything that is newsworthy and can be food. The vulture sustains the ability to pick the signal. And yet the Bible says there is a path which no foul know it. The birds have an advantage of the air. They don't work on land, so they are not limited in perspective. Away together, the bird can see higher and greater. If you drive, you're only limited by the frame of your sight. Away together, but when you are in the air you will be able to see a lot more. Now, the Bible says the beds have those advantages, and yet there is a path their eyes cannot see. It says even the vulture, the vulture that has the power of sight and then the advantage to be able to smell and pick signals, even the vulture has not seen a way. Together. Now verse eight were giving definition to more and more, it says, the lion's whelps have not trodden. That means the lion is not afraid of any animal. You know, the lion does not fear. It may only run to restrategize. It has earned itself the title of being the king of the jungle. And so there is if there is any virgin place where the lion and its pride has not gotten to, it will trod its feet there and establishes dominion there. And yet the Bible says, the webs of the lion have not trodden. Even the angry lion has not passed by it. This is only a definition that there are still rems, and there are still dimensions kept for the people of God. Are we together that everything you have seen about God until now, it's not all that you want to reveal. Everything you have seen about spiritual power is not all that There is all that you have seen about Revelation is not all that there is all that you have seen about prosperity increase. Someone said there is more. Speak it prophetically said, there is more. More and more is the destiny of God's people, the path of the just. We have been justified in Christ, and the Bible says our destiny, our heritage in Christ, is more and more. That means there is no planate twuing for the believer. It is from one strike to another. When you think they have exhausted everything, they will come to a higher dimension. May that be your testimony in the name of Jesus Christ. In Revelations chapter four and verse one. Popular scripture, John the Apostle was caught up in heaven. And remember the chapter one, Chapter two, chapter three. The Bible says that he was in the spirit on the Lord's day. You find that in verse ten of chapter one, So he was already in the spirit on the Lord's day. When you look at Revelations one, verse ten, I believe he said I was in the spirit on the Lord's Day. So he was already in the spirit. But when we get to chapter four and verse one, the Bible says, after this, I looked, it's God helping us already. And behold, a door was open where in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was as it ware of a trumpet, talking with me. And he said, come up hither, already in the spirit, already in heaven. And the voice said come up hither. The voice didn't just say look around, rise that even though you are in the spirit, even though you are already in heaven, even though you have seen, you have received the message to the seven churches, there is still more. Come up hither, and I will show you the things that must be Thereafter someone say more and more, I wrote down here I said, there is always more for the people of God. There is always more. You have to burn that as a revelation in your spirit. So if God opens you up to a level of the healing, anointing, opens you up to a level of the prophet, opens you up to a level of wealth and prosperity, opens you up to a level of leadership and influence, it doesn't matter in what dimension you must settle it at the back of your mind that all I have seen is not all that there is the price for new dimensions. There is always more, more, and more is the destiny of every believer in Christ. Allelujah. There is still more in your work with God. There is still more as far as destiny actualization is concerned. There is still more as far as you're excelling in life is concerned. Unfortunately, the Bible and even history is full of people who do well and rise to certain levels in ministry, in business, in career, whatever area. And they may not backslide, they may not go down, but they seem to plot to at a level, and sometimes they plot to at that level until they are edged out of relevance. Are we together now? This has happened, respectfully over men of God, This has happened over business people. This has happened over people in government, This has happened to leaders. The goal of this teaching is that you get to that more and more dimension where as far as the assignment committed to you is concerned, and your destiny and your press into God, that you will never stop, you will never have a better yesterday. In the name of Jesus Christ, very quickly, I'm going to run through the price. I like responsible Christianity. I am an advocate of responsible Christianity. Responsible Christianity means that number one, you are open to the provisions that redemption has brought, but you are also told the role, the participatory role that you have to play in making that fear needs reality and experience in your life. That is responsible Christianity. It is a fact that it is not all up to God, and it is not all up to you. Are we together now, Yes, as far as bringing that reality and making it finish from the realm of the spirit is concerned, it is exclusively God's assignment. But making it manifest and revealed in your life, you have a role to play. So the formula is always the Spirit and the bride say come. If the Spirit is saying come and you the bride does not say come, come, cannot manifest. The Spirit and the bride say be lifted. The Spirit and the bride say be healed. For many of you, the spirit has been saying for a long time, come up hither, but the bride has refused to answer. The spirit has been saying, rise to a new level. Prophetically, rise to a new level of prosperity, Rise to a new level of grace. But there seem to be a spiritual deafness or the laxity to rise. So tonight's teaching is equipping us with the knowledge we need to leave that area where we have been limited and to rise to a new level. In the name of Jesus Christ. This may be a message for a man of God who is saying, apostle, I may not know what is wrong with my spiritual life. I can't say I'm backsleading, but I am tired. No new messages, no revelation. I'm not sure I'm seeing anything more. I'm just recycling my current realm. He said, ye have compassed this mountain long enough, turn ye northwards. This may be for a business man someone in your finances. You can't say you are going down. But in truth, there is nothing new. Neil is a very powerful spiritual world. It means there is increment, there is growth. Are we together now? I'm going to give you a few keys that represent the price that altogether will bring you to a new dimension. And I'm praying in the name of Jesus that this teaching will not be casual for you, that you will listen to it, not just with your physical ear alone, Because the Bible says he that hath an ear, there is a spiritual eyear and many people do not have it, and so they don't hear. They keep nodding. Sometimes they say tell them, and at the end of the service they don't receive anything. I pray that your ears be open and your eyes be open, in the name of Jesus Christ. The first price, the first price that is responsible for accessing higher realms and dimensions in life and in destiny, is the price of a deeper experience with God. The price of a deeper experience with God. Take me, do you you know that song? Deeper in love with you, Jesus, Hold me close to your embry, Take me deeper, deeper than I've ever been before. I just want to love you more and more. How while long to be deep? Can I tell you? Those who will keep making news for the kingdom are those who understand that it is the deeper and the richer you walk with God, the more the sound of your exploit in the spirit are we together physically speaking. The heavier and object, the more it will make noise when you throw it on the ground. Is that true? When you carry a strand of hair or a feather and you try it, it will take so long to arrive the ground, and you will almost not know that there is anything there. News is a product of deep relationship with the spirit. You want God to announce you to your world. It is not just looking for opportunities. You have to have a deeper work with God, a deeper work with God. Second Kings, nineteen thirty. The remnant that is escaped of the House of Judah, It says, the first thing they shall do is to take root, or bear root downwards, and then there will bear fruit upwards, a well together that those that have escaped and have preserved, if they are to gain stature, they will bear root downwards. For you to understand this, you have to understand agriculture. Please look up. There are grasses and lead to shrubs that last for days, weeks, and at best a few months. You can pull them up because their roots are not deep. Sometimes their roots are even visible. Is that true? You can see them. And because their roots are not deep, you don't expect that they become giant trees. If you plant your maize, the ridge that you make for may sometimes it may not even be anything serious, just enough to covery. It is that true, and then it grows, because after three months you're going to cut everything away. But there are trees, giant oak trees, and many trees that we have in Africa and around the world. Some of those trees are thirty years old, sixty years old, hundreds of years old. And you find out that the root of those trees, without exaggeration, sometimes it can be so deep, deep enough to be the size of a house, and it sings right to the ground. Are we together, whether there is rain or no rain. It doesn't wait for any season. It has gone deep enough to touch where there is constant supply. The Bible says he shall be like a tree that is planted by the streams of water. Are we together now? Whose lives does not wither? And the reason is because it does not have to wait for seasons to change to flourish. It has found this way to get a constant supply of water. Allelujah. So the deeper your root spiritually, in terms of your fellowship with God, in terms of your prayer life, in terms of your love for God, your honor and your spiritual understanding, generally, your love and your passion and your fire for God. There is a guarantee from that experience that you will not plant. To show me a man whose passion for God never goes down. I show you a man whose relevance will remain. Show me a preacher, Show me a business man, Show me a politician, Show me a career person who has that degree of respect for God. I show you a man that knows, matter what toms come, he will remain, and he will increase. Somebody say more and more, one more time, prophets, I say more and more, Allelujah? Are we learning? In Second Chronicles, Chapter fifteen, Second Chronicles, Chapter fifteen, we read from verse ten he says, so they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem, reading to fifteen, in the third month and in the fifteenth year of the reign of Ussah Uh huh. And they offered onto the Lord the same time of the spoil which they had brought seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep. Twelve. And they entered into a covenant. What was the covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and with all their soul. Next verse that whosoever would not seek the Lord, God of Israel, it should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. Two more verses fourteen, And they swear onto the Lord with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets and with cornets. The last verse it says, and old Juda rejoiced at the oath, for they had sworn with all their heart and sought him with their whole desire. And he was fond of them. And the Lord gave them rest round about What was the secret? They said, the issue of seeking God. We bind it as a covenant. We're not going to depend on our emotions. The day I feel good, the day it works well for me, no, I will seek the Lord, no matter what happens. Second Chronicles twenty six and verse five, speaking about Usiah the secret to his prosperity and Exploit, the Bible says, and he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God. And as long as Osaiah sought the Lord, God made him to prosper. The word prosper there has nothing to do with money. It means to excel, It means to advance, It means to continue. For as long as he sought the Lord, the Lord made him to prosper. May you never get to any point in your life where you feel you have sought God enough. May you never get to a point in your life where you feel your prayer life is enough. May you never get to any point in your life where you feel your commitment and your passion for God is enough. Are we together? The only place you are permitted to say enough is in acquisitions of material things, and then just the at least study of things, instead of reading many books there is no end, and much studies wariness to the soul. He says, this is the conclusion of the matter. Hear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. But as far as seeking God is concerned, even in heaven, our pursuit still continues. Is someone learning Exodus chapter thirty three and verse fourteen. We're discussing the first price, the price of a deeper experience with God. This is Moses. They are about to leave a way together, so johning through the wilderness. And he said, my presence shall go with thee, and I will give you rest. Speaking to Moses now verse fifteen, and he said, Moses is replying, now, if your presence does not go with us, do not take us away from here. Our journey is useless if we do not have the backing of your presence. This is a word for someone. Before you start taking steps, verify where that God is with you. If money is the only thing that is with you, you are still in trouble. Money can be with you. My knows God. You are only getting into trouble because even the door that will lead you to trouble must be opened to So not every open door is God's door. Satan also opens doors. The prison has doors, and just because the prison door is open, you can be open for you to enter inside. Nobody enters into the prison with a closed door. The door will first have to be opened. Among the many things you have to verify on your way, every once in a while, take a break and check what do I have around my life? I have results? What do I have around my life? Anointing? What do I have around my life? Same? What do I have around my life? More money than I had last year? If God is not at the top of everything around you, stop there and make sure you secure His presence before the journey continues. If someone learning now failure to do that will only cause you casualties. This is the mistake of great people. They begin with God, but then they get to a point in their Christian experience where they feel, listen, do I really need God? I'm becoming a celebrity. I am famous. Remember the teaching tonight is not for those who are starting. The teaching tonight is the secret for remaining and increasing. You know what it takes to start, to start the church, to start the ministry, to start the business. Be careful when you begin to have results, because among the many things that will look too heavy for you to carry, maybe God. And so you can throw God aside so that the luggage would be easier to continue the journey. I'd rather stay in one place with God than to move with other things and without him. Moses was wise. Remember when they left Egypt. I hope you know they did not leave empty. They left with gold. Remember they left with a lot of things. Moses would have said, we have gold. If enemies come to capture us, we just negotiate with them asay, okay, we are not empty. We have gold. But it said, if your presence will not go with us, do not take us away from here. Let's finish that Scripture sixteen. It says, for wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in your sight? Is it not in that thou goest with us? So shall we be separated or distinguished? Aye, and thy people from the people that are upon the face of the earth. There is a mark that comes upon a destiny that values divine presence. You carry divine presence in ministry. The difference will be clear and unmistakable. You carry divine presence in business. You carry it in raising your children, You carry it in exploring your destiny adventure. Some of you have thrown God so that you have space to collect money. Some of you threw God that say necessary, You threw him away. You are too much of a luggage. I noticed that every time I hold you, when people try to offer me money, I can't collect it. Some of you have thrown God so that you will preserve your pride. The price for new dimensions number one is a deeper experience with God. Take your place, take your place, take your place, take your place. Take my body, my soul, my spairit. Breathe on me, take my body, my soul, my spavit. Read on me. Allelujah. Never let the pursuit of God become an embarrassment because of where you have arrived Can I kneel down again? Will it be? Will it not be an inconvenience? Can I lift my hands in worship again? With all my subordinates here, I now run a conglomerate with offices in UK, with offices in in in Russia, with offices in America, And all of my subordinates are there. Now I'm a great man of God. I have a lot of sons. Can I be embarrassed to roll on the floor before God? Never get to a point where your love for God becomes a thing of shame. You are already in trouble. Allelujah. Never let your clothes be too expensive that you cannot touch the ground. When the Ark of God was being returned back to Jerusalem, David, who was king at that time, he danced in a way that looked like he was a madman. The Bible described this as an undignified dance. And his wife, who Assault's daughter, looked at him in shame and said, oh, dear, what a foolish and stupid king. Look at how you brought reproach to yourself before your contemporaries. And he said, let me tell you something. You. I know you and my wife, but I need to educate you. I am not dancing before this man. I am dancing before God, who collected the kingdom from your father and gave it to me. David acknowledged that that rhyme he was given he was who would have known? Do you know there is nowhere? David was not like Joseph, who had a dream that one day he will become king. The Bible never records at least Joseph had a consolation he was dreaming. David never knew if you anst David in the wilderness, David who when you become he will say, I will become a warrior, not knowing that that victory was only a starting point. Someone is already celebrating success to you are already celebrated overst celebrating a little rem whereas God's call and destiny for you is that you will make you captain over his inheritance. Is someone learning the God you found in the wilderness must be the god you all know in the palace. If the God you found in the wilderness was powerful enough to bring you in the palace, you will be foolish to throw him away from Dagon. When Devid came and met Saul, I'm proposed to fight Goliad. Saul said, okay, I am a king. I have the best of amory. Take all my amory. And he said, King, I respect you, but I have my weapons that I was trained with. I'm not here to comme. And it's not just military might. I have a covenant by reason of my seeking God. Let me tell you the truth. In this end time, God will raise on assuming unusual people, people who when you add them up, they don't equal to the result that should be. But because of their determination to seek and work with God, God will carry some things as gifts. God will carry the prayer requests of nations and institutions and give individuals as a testament for seeking them. You believe what I'm telling you, You've not seen prosperity yet until you see people who are on assuming, who will becaustodians of the wealth of the Kingdom, that God will give it to them by himself. If you interview them in terms of business intelligence, the truth is that you will be disappointed. They don't add up. Yet you cannot deny the result because they sought the Lord. There are many, many kinds of graces and anointings that have not yet been released, but are coming. I tell you you will see men rights who are like God upon the earth, power and dimensions, miracles and the manifestations of the spirit. The death, yes, and the blindness you are talking about. It will be common occurrence. You will not have to put a crusade for that to happen. That people will be working on the streets and they will pass a much warry and dead bodies will come back to life without the people even knowing that they were used by God to heal the sea. Shakha Sadi. This is what God wants to do. But there is a price, the price of a deep power. Walk with God. Father, You have blessed me. Now I have a mansion. Now I have cars. Now I have influence, but I count the board. Don't the way I rolled ten years ago, I will see roll in your presence. My clothes may have changed, but my allegiance will never change. My clothes may have changed, but my worship will not change. My time may have changed, my pedigree may have changed, but you still remain my God. Someone praying one minute, Lord, I repent for trying to replace you with many things on my way to greatness. Please pray for someone. This is why you came to church. Charle Brenda Baracoada, Chaparus Ca Theatra. You are my God as a a chepherd and as a king. You are my God as an employee and as an entrepreneur. You are my God. You my car. No matter where I go to, no matter where I become. You see, let me tell you something. Please listen, listen and learn. We still have a lot to look at. Do you know when God begins to lift you and put you in a position of influence. Now you are in an elevated position where people watch you, and the first thing they want to watch is who you honor and what you love. You can influence a generation with one encounter to reject Christ because you have mismanaged influence. There are many people today who foiled all kinds of vows to God. Lord. If you lived me, I will stand for you. But now, when you begin to fly around the world, you come into a realm of priority living where your name has become a key to many lives. Chances are excellent that God now becomes a luggage and an inconvenience for you. Many have lost their touch with God. Many have maintained a level, at a level that God lives you, and you are still doing two verses per day. Honestly, you are not a serious Christian. Maybe for a start as a believer. The first of ten years ago must be restored back. The prayer of ten years ago must be restored back. The sitting outside of ten years ago, where you say, Lord, it is in the dead of the night, but I'm still awake with you, here to worship you, wiley to worship you. Why leave, I leave to worship. You, to worship you, whiny to worship you, I leave, I live to worship you. Oh oh, oh, oh, allelujah. You have heard me say this, everything go. What gives you, it's not all He wants to give you at any point in your life. Whatever you receive from God, just know that it is part of the full package, no matter how great it is. God gave me one billion ah, that is all. And God is saying so the goal is four hundred billions and billions of dollars to fund the kingdom. And just because you had one billion in your mind, it has carried you away. God gave me this. God now made me an estata. Whatever it is, I cast mycround before the highest row. Heality, I am manton before. Your glorious madgesty. I passed mycround before the high row else and I have mad before. You're the King of Kings, and Lord. B you are the king baking. You are the Lord bap your glorious majesty area car surcanes are. Curcane outside. Can I tell you you must get to a point in your life where it is not just your knowledge that mentors people. If you're washing your allegiance to the King of kings, who make someone to say, listen ordinary, I would have loved at this person, but I saw him ten years ago the same rolling. I laughed at the rolling, But look where the rolling has brought him today. And I will join and also role if that rolling has brought him to this level. Don't waste your influence. Use it to mentor nations. Don't waste your influence. The first prize for new dimensions a deeper walk with God. Pleasen the price number two. Let's hurry up so we can pray tonight if someone already blessed. The second price that must be paid a non ne shable price. Listen very carefully now just help those under they anointing. But please don't be distracted if you must accent higher levels not only in the spirit, but in life and in destiny, superior levels of exploits ever increasing testimonies. The price of bending focus. That is the second price, the price of bending focus. Show me a man of im bending focus, a man who will not be distracted, whether by success or failure. I show you a man who will remain an increase. Philippians, Chapter three, from verse thirteen even to fifteen. Philippians, Chapter three. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended. He's speaking to brethren. We're talking about Apostle Paul here, Paul the Great, Paul the Anointed, call the miracle walker, Paul the Leanard, Paul intelligen Brethren, I count not myself. That means you can count me to have apprehended. But this is my honest review about my life. I count not myself to have apprehended. But this one thing I do. Forgetting those things which are behind. He never said forgetting wrong things that are behind. He never said forgetting good things that are behind. He said forgetting those things that are behind, and reaching forth to the things which are before Ah, there are always things before I press towards the mark of the price of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. It says, let us therefore, as many as be mature, that's the meaning of the word perfect. Be first minded? How minded that means, at any point in your life, count yourself to not have apprehended. Are we together now that, even though you are honestly receiving an applaud justifiably so for the strikes the kingdom strikes, you are making that you get to a point where you do not allow your focus to bend. I count myself to not have apprehended. But this one thing I do is that chapter fifty and verse seven I found this scripture, and it was quite interesting. The Bible says, for the Lord God will help me. Therefore shall I not be confounded? Therefore I have set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed. There is a relationship between focus. Are we together now? Focus and advancement. There is a relationship between distraction and shame. The price of on bending focus. I wrote a few things here that I want you to see. Number One, under the price for onbending focus, you must obtain grace to fight a rival mentality arrival in court, you must obtain grace from God to fight arrival mentality. Have arrived at this level of annoinety, have arrived at this level of grace. I've arrived at this level of revelation. I've arrived at this level of prosperity. I have ten estates. I'm a billionaire, I'm a politician. Finally, I've gotten to be a house member or senator, or president or governor or whatever it is. I am now with CEO. I am now the African representative of this bank or this conglomerates. Arrival mentality has destroyed many people, same Philippians. Please give us three and verse twelve. Let's three twelve and thirteen. Hallelujah, all right, he said, not as though I had already attained that way already perfect. But I follow after if that I may apprehend that for which I am apprehended of Jesus Christ. For statain, he says, Brethren, Now where we read, I count myself. So he's saying, it is not as far as I'm concerned, no matter what you tell me, I still work like somebody who has something in front. I don't work like someone who has arrived. You know what arrival mentality is. That means you get to a point where you tell yourself, I'm not talking of contentment. Arrival mentality is very different from contentment allelujah, where you feel there is nothing more to do with your life as far as maximizing life is concerned. You know that happened to Lucifer. I will ascend above the starts of God, and I will be like the most high. After all, my office is the custodian of the mysteries of Heaven, so I think I know everything. Little did he know that there was more beware of a rival mentality. I wrote something down here. Both failure and success, both discouragement and over celebration of results can be distractions. That means success and failure can do the same thing to you. Eventually. Failure can discourage you. Success can create complacency. While it is good and honest to celebrate every stride, you must be careful and manage your celebration so that you do not over celebrate results. Now, the truth is that when you rise among people who are lower than you, no matter how lit to your results is, it will look big in the eyes of those lower than you. You must be honest with yourself and engage yourself by a global kingdom standard, and then ask yourself, have I really gone there? Africa we celebrate very small things, small results, small results in business. In ministry you will see a little cooperation that maybe it's netting just a few million naira even not even dollars. And yet the pride that the leaders and the executives have, respectfully speaking. Now, just because you can afford food to eat, just because you have a house, you have a car, just because you can afford a bit of logs relieving and a few things it does. That is not all there is to life. There is so much more. Are we together? The price of bending focus. I talk to myself every time on this wise, Joshua Selman, thank God for what God is doing in your life. My phone is full of text messages from people literally across the globe without exaggeration. Oh Man of God, I listen to this, this one happening in all as they're not lying. However, you must tell yourself everything God has given me now it's not all He plans to give me. Every level is the test for the next level. Every level. As soon as you achieve something in a level, know that it is automatically the exam you are writing for the next level. Every level of achievement is the test you must pass for the next level. Away together, so both failure and success. If you have done well and the world is celebrating, you don't run away. Don't push it away and say no, no, no, don't celebrate me. No, no, no. But you must know when to draw the line. The moment's celebration becomes flattery and it's already planting the seed of complacency. You must stop and say thank you, I have received the no to motivate me for the next level. My exams are started. You must know when the feast of celebration is over and when you've entered the classroom to write the exams. If you are still dancing in the classroom, believing that the classroom is the place for celebration, you will fail your exams. Thank God for this new level of the prophetic. Thank God for this new level of grace, this new level of insight. But now that you have given me, oh God, thank you for it. But I know it is an exam I'm writing Moreover, it is required in stewards that a man be found faithful. Allelujah. There are many, many, little small prayer groups that will never grow into a giant kingdom platform for blessing the nations, because right from infancy many of them are almost killing themselves on arrival. Let me tell you this. I'm speaking particularly to those in probably ministry, business and all of that. Let us be very careful, let us be very careful. Let's learn from our father's There is nothing that somebody can want that has not been given. And yet these fathers, you see them with humility, including businessmen. Look, let me tell you, for those of you who have had the opportunity to sit with billoonaires and very wealthy people, you will be flattered by their humility and their sense of honor and respect, and you'll be asking is it really? Is it? These people are? And then the ones that don't have anything, you will know immediately that they don't have anything? Are we together? A wealthy man can entire restaurant and it's very cautious. Britain people, good afternoon, how are you? And somebody will tell you that's the owner of this restaurant, and you'll hear somebody who will see them five minutes is impatient. You've kept me waiting here. You don't know who I am. You better, you say, you easily know when people begin to when they lose focus and they lose vision. Listen. I don't know if i've thty here, But if you studied the life of Gideon, there were two tests that they had to pass to qualify the three hundred who defeated the media Nites. When Gideon blew the trumpet, the Bible says thirty three thousand people came, but there were too many. God said, He said, no, I can't take this people to the place of destiny like this. Test number one, whoever is afraid, whoever loves and misses his home more than the future, go back, and the Bible says about twenty or twenty two thousand people went back. That means everybody was, yeah, wo make it, but somewhere already dead on arrival. They went back and he said there are still too many. Test number two, He told them you will get to the water Brooks. The water Brooks was not at the beginning of the journey. You would have to make some progress. And it says toirded their behavior in the presence of that water. Those who bend and lap like dogs, those are the the ones that I want you to keep. Those who sit down and properly drink like human beings, let them go back home. Do you know what that meant? If you watch a dog and as it takes water, it never takes water sitting or lying down, it means and I'm aware that I still have somewhere to go. This is a momentary success. By the time you get to the water, Brooks, after working for a long time, that is a sign of results. Now you have gotten water to quench your thirsts. And it said those who sit down, that means they have camed. I'm not standing up again. Let them go home their attitude. Those who lap like dogs, that means they still have the sense of vision that this is just a momentary blessing. But the real journey is not to I didn't leave my home to come and drink water. I left my home to go and defeat the media knites. And if I find water on the way, thank god. But I will not come there. And we will live settle less. We know there's Mother's founding you can we will never settle less. We know that's Father's founding. You prophaciety yourself, and we will never settle for less time from window price number two, the price of on bending focus, on bending focus. Can you still remember the vision of your ministry or you are forgotten? Can you still remember the vision of your organization? Can you still remember what you wrote on paper? Some of you have even misplaced the notebooks where you wrote the visions that govern your life, because as at the time you wrote it, you didn't have a business. As at the time you wrote it, you didn't know you would be this great. You wrote many things there. Now you cannot even find the book. Buy another one and start again. If the words are really precious, you honor them by writing, He says, right, for these words are faithful. Right, they are true, Allelujah. If you don't have a vision for your life and the things that you are doing, life will give you many visions, useless visions that are inconsistent with the blueprint of your call for someone God is speaking to you. Get back, go back home and open that notebook. The way this ministry is going is that what God told us. We started well, but on the way they said, if you are going like this, you will be hungry. And he says, so which one works? Now? They said, let me tell you the one that works. Now do this, do that. And you have heered off from what God told you. And you're covenant with God. Are we together on bending focus? We need to become people of focus so that you are not distracted. Thank God for the great things, but you must be at your vision. Thank God for food, thank God for the blessings that follow destiny, but never be distracted by them. I listened to a video I watched a video years ago. I think it was by Latestive Jobs. It was a video that they did in nineteen ninety two or thereabout, and it was then, you know, they were really very small, and he was doing a little training for some of the senior executives of his corporation then. And I listened very carefully to what you told them. He told them that our goal is you know, I can't remember exactly what he said the goal was. But there was no mention of money there, there was no mention of fame. There, there was no mention of red in the whole world, just like a human effort of becoming famous. They were never part of the goals. The goal was to be able, based on what they said, to at least be able to contribute to make the world a better place by offering whatever it is that they were offering. I said, no wonder they became great for someone from beginning you say this life, my shear, he must come. That's your goal. And you find out you won't go far that way, because already you are already at the corridors of compromise, because the goal is not the goal is not pure and not the goal is not superior enough to guide your life. And word of distractions number three someone learning the third price for greater and higher dimensions is the price of greater enlightenment. Or please set and listen to this one. The price for greater enlightenment or the price of greater enlightenment Galiicians, Chapter two. God is going to speak to someone now from verse one and two. Light me, Lord, light me, lor light me, Lord like a candle, lights me, Loo, light me low, light me low like a candle. Light Melo, lights me, Lord. Lights me, Lord like a candle, lights me, lolights me Lord. Price number three the price of greater enlightenment Galiicians two. One and two. Then fourteen years later, I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas and took titles also with me, I love. Verse two. It says, and I went up by revelation. I didn't go up by suggestion. I didn't go up by what I went up by revelation. Of course it has this literal meaning there to explain what he was doing. But that is a prophetic expression. There I went up. In this kingdom, we go up by revelation. I went up by revelation, First Corinthians, Chapter eight and verse two. It has become an anthem in this house eight and verse two, First Corinthians. If any man think that he knowed anything, it says he knowed nothing, yet as he ought to know the price of greater enlightenment, Acts Chapter eighteen, from verse twenty four and twenty five. Acts eighteen. Remember a popular story. The Bible says a certain Jew named Apollos. He was born at alex Andrea, an eloquent man and mighty in scriptures, the Bible says he came to Ephesos, and then the man was instructed in the way of the Lord. Being fervent in spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John Let's way twenty six. The Bible says, one time he began to speak boldly in the synagogue, whom when a Quilla and Priscillia had heard, they took him onto them and expounded onto him the way of God more perfectly. The price of greater enlightenment. Listen, if you want to rise higher in life, you must content for greater levels of enlightenment. And I broke this enlightenment into two number one. The first dimension of greater enlightenment. You must content, for they are called the Mysteries of the Kingdom. Please write the first dimension of enlightenment. You must contend, for you must contend for higher and superior levels of the knowledge of the mysteries of the Kingdom. Match with thirteen eleven. For it has been given onto you to know the mysteries of the Kingdom. The mysteries of the Kingdom. We discuss this already. Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven, and canst thou establish the dominion dereof on earth. So that's the first dimension of the greater enlightenment. You must know the mysteries of the Kingdom. What are they? The spiritual secrets by which dominion is activated through It's important for you to know that dominion does not just happen authorities. Not only is it doesn't just work arbituarly. It is on the strength of the mysteries of the Kingdom that we command dominion in this earth. But the second dimension, not many believers have paid attention to it. It's called the law of life and the law of human nature. The law of life and human nature. Listen, there are superior levels of greatness, and there are dimensions in this Kingdom and in the cosmos that if you do not understand the laws of life and the laws that govern human nature, you can call them the laws of the cosmos. There are laws that operate in this earth fairly, or to know them, you will get into all kinds of trouble. When you are dealing with the mysteries of the Kingdom. You will learn the laws of prayer and priesthood. Is that true. You will learn the law of giving, You will learn the law of meditation and speaking and all of those things. But as wonderful as that is, you must be able to compliment it. With the intelligence of the laws of the cosmos. Most people do not know this. Let me show you three scripts. Look chapter sixteen and verse eight. Here what Jesus said. Look sixteen and verse eight. If God is blessing you say amen. He gave a parable of the unjust the Word. And here was the conclusion of that parable. The Lord commended the unjust the Word because he had done wisely for the children of this world in their generation. He said, wiser than the children of light. He acknowledged that they were the children of this world under the influence of the cosmos, but he says they are wiser than the children of light. Do you know that Jesus began his teaching, Look or please notice the structure of Jesus's teaching. He began his teaching with what we call the beatitudes. Are we together blessed? This is the pure in heart, for they shall see God. And then eventually he switched into teaching them the cosmos, the world system. He taught them. He now began to give them enlightenment on how to live effectively in the cosmos. Matthew chapter ten. Please. He began his teaching in Matthew chapter five, teaching them on prayer, teaching them on several things, you know, righteousness and all of that. By the time we get to chapter ten, from verse sixteen, hear what he said, Jesus now giving us the wisdom of living and excelling in the cosmos. He said, behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves. Be therefore wise as serpents. One of the few times in the Bible where Jesus would recommend on the studying the serpent. The serpent has always typified Satan, evil and disaster. But when it has to do with the intelligence, Please keep the scripture of excelling in these cosmos, he says. Make sure you learn the wisdom of the serpent, and yet be as harmless as the seventeen give us seventeen, it says, But beware of men. That is already a very strong instruction. He's telling you, beware. There is something about the human nature in the world that you are living in. Don't just be a prayer warrior, a fasting giant, a revelation giant, and then don't sustain wisdom. Please look at me. Let me teach you this, My precious people. Hear me. Many believers are completely ignorant as far as the intelligence of dealing with the cosmos is concerned, and it has cost us many things beyond our imagination. There are laws of human nature. There are laws that you must know. It is true. For instance, I've taught you one of them. The law of seasons. Is that true that no season remains consistent seasons. It is a law that operates while the act remain. It is not in your Bible. See time and harvest. You will never have see time alone. You will never have harvest a loon. You must know how to take advantage of seasons. When you see the rainy season for us in Nigeria here I told you, remember the law of seasons. Every rainy season comes with a letter from dry season, I am coming. And every dry season comes with a letter from rainy season, I am coming. If you enjoy the season and don't collect the letter and read it, you'll be in trouble. Every time you see evil, it is because there is good. It's called the law of polarity. Every time you see darkness, it's because there is light. Male female, God himself designed that law. I'm not talking about some scientology and some demonishing. I'm talking of the wisdom of the cosmos. Jesus here is telling you under study the serpent. There are men who have taken a advantage of that season. Even animals and ants that don't have conferences. They are not filled with the holygoes. They don't pray in tongues, but they have taken advantage of the laws of the earth, and with it they have. Animals have never experienced. Ants that we know, we have not seen them gang gop together to say there is famine, because they are laws that they operate. They don't have an advantage as far as we know. We know they praise God because the Bible says, everything that has breadth, let me praise the Lord. But we don't know about prayer. Are we together? Human beings are the only species that are so disoriented. The animals are to the Bible, to the point that the Bible says our slogan, go to the ants and learn that they do not have a king. In other words, there is problem with structure, and yet in need they still excel the wisdom of the cosmos. There are many natural laws that our world. Gravity is not just a spiritual law, it is also a natural law. It is because of the awareness of it. Today we have coming to that awareness and we have built things around it to our advantage. There are many things you have to know about life and the nature of men. Is someone learning now? I wrote here for instance, you have to understand the principles of course and effect. It will guide you in addition to the share of the law that you have. If you understand that there are consequences for every action, it will tame the things that you do. There is a law of seasons, the awareness of the selfish nature of men. You can pray in tongues. You can first have spiritual understanding, and then in addition, when you now go to the work, the place of work, or your place of business, there is an awareness that all human beings are not like those in your house. You know, most believers have been shielded from the reality of how life truly is. They are used to inno send people. They are used to You can keep your money in your house and come and see someone package it for you and say, with love from your brother, and some of us believe that the whole world is like that. Are we together? You can be fasting and someone will cook for you and say this is to sow into your life and then for many, especially Christian families, the moment their children have the honor. You don't have to be evil to be exposed to the loss of life. Unfortunately, when you are exposing people and teaching them the wisdom of the cosmos, they will say it's not necessary. After all, I have God. I'm going to show you something that will bless you. It's God blessing you already. So many Christian young people especially are very naive as to the realities of the cosmos. As soon as they come out and they are no longer under the influence of parents or guidance or church. Maybe they really locate out of Nigeria, or they now get jobs, or they get married, or something happens that exposes them to the world. They spend about the first ten years of their lives pay in the price of ignorance, spiritually alive, but very dead in terms of the wisdom of the cosmos. So someone can come and say, you know what, I'm a nice person. I love you very much. How much do you have You say I have one million my father gave me and say yes, settled me. Say just bring it. I'm a very faithful person, and they naively bring it because they say, no, it has to be God, because this is how favor works. Most people do not understand the wisdom of the cosmos that the heart of man is desperately wicked. That is a powerful information you should store as you explore. This adventure of life. Is not to make you suspicious. It now creates a prayer, request, Lord, send good people to my life. Send destiny help us to my life. Because of the awareness of that law, are wait together. So the moment you hear that ah, the earth is going to fold up, you just know that based on the love of seasons, the thing that is is the thing that was, and the thing that will be thereafter you will find rest. The only person who will close the earth is the one who opened it. There is nothing that will happen on earth that is enough to fold the earth like a cottain. God will close the heath intentionally. It's not disaster that will close the earth. So no matter how bad what happens, you know economically, politically, there will always be a way out. We are not the first. There have been that ages in history. Is that true? There has been famine in history? Is that true? But there also has been abundance. Is that true? Just the knowledge of the love of seasons will give you the staying power through the storms in your life. So for this season, I do not have a job. This season, it looks like things are not working. But I understand number one, the integrity of God. But even within the cosmos, I know that everything is transhend So rather than regretting over current seasons, I begin to prepare and program the seasons coming. Someone getting blessed. So, Man of God, while you are looking at ten members and saying, God, you can't do this to me, not after all my days of fasting, you should know that the way God walks, he walks by the law of seasons. There is the law of time and chance. There is the law of process. The knowledge of this loss. Prepare you immediately. If you hold twenty thousand, that is not all you hold. He's only training your hands to hold it. Well, it's God helping us. Believers are very ignorant. Let me show you something. In Acts chapter seven and verse twenty two, there are two personalities in the Bible who have really really surprised me. Number one is called Moses. Number two too, it's called Abraham, I have studied their lives carefully. Are we together now? Because of the way they work with God? And I found out that for every one of them, Look at Moses. I want to show you something that will surprise you. How many of you know that Moses's assignment was a purely spiritual assignment. It was the assignment of a deliverer. If Moses was in the New Testament, will call him an apostle. And yet look at the nature of his training. The Bible says God sent him to Egypt, and he learned. He was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and deeds. Why did God subject him to go and learn the wisdom of Egypt, whereas his assignment was just to bring people out and to take them into the promised land? Is that in your Bible? Give us Jenesis twelve. Ah, I love preaching. Give us Genesis twelve. Let me just drum this thing in myce Please give us Genesis twelve. May God bless you. Thank you Genesis twelfth. Watch this now, So God is asking. God is asking Abraham to leave his father's house and all of that to a land that he would show him is that true? Now, let me show you something very powerful. Give us from vers I'm trying to look for. Let's go to verse verse ten, Genesis twelve, Verse ten. Please be patient while I read. Now, Remember Abraham had had an encounter with God, and God said, leave to the place of destiny. I will do this for you. You'll become a father of this and that. The Bible now said there was famine in the land. Have you noticed that every time there is hunger and famine, where do they go to. This is true for Abraham, this was true for Joseph, this was true for Moses. Egypt is an antichrist place. They do not understand kingdom in terms of kingdom come, but they understand the wisdom of the cosmos. And whenever God is training his people, among the many things he does is he sends them to Egypt and said, lends something from Egypt. The symbol of Egypt is not the serpent. Please talk to me. So when he says be as wise as the serpent, he's not just saying copy the snake. He's said, there is a wisdom that comes with the cosmos. Give us that scripture of place. Let's just walk it a bit and there was famine in the land. And Abraham went down to Egypt to so John there, for the famine was grievous. Now this was a man who had spoken with God. You will think, after an encounter with God, he should never feel the famine in the land. Your encounter, your alter of prayer, your alter of worship. It may still be rich, and you will be so he will feel the effect of the happenings around the cosmos? Are we learning now? Eleven? It came to pass when she was come here into Egypt. Look at are you seeing? The pressure of Egypt made him to start telling lies. He never told lies when it was his relationship with God. But as soon as he got into the system, the effect of ignorance and how to operate in the system started producing in him. Like a man of God. Will start well, not intending to bribe, not intending to do witchcraft. But as soon as hunger comes, he can arrange a conference to raise money. He said to Sarah, his wife, Behold, now I know that thou art a fair woman. To look upon her. Next verse. Therefore, it shall come to pass when the Egyptian shall see them, they shall say, this is your wife and they shall kill me, but you they will save you. You see all the attributes finding expression say, I pray you that you are my sister, that it may be well with me for your sake, and that I will leave. Did he have to go there? If you are going to tell that level of life to go there, why don't you just go down? You go back and hunger will kill you. But you have to compromise and go into Egypt? Are you saying now? The prize for going into Egypt is that you must be prepared for compromise. But if you withdraw, you may keep whatever, and hunger will kill you and you will die. Look at the delima that this man is in now, is someone getting blessed? The king's officials told him about her, and she was taken to his house. The Bible says the king was good to Abram because of Sarah, and Abram was giving sheep. Look at the gifts that he was giving. Are you saying where he got his well from? Where did he get it from? In Egypt? His spirituality was powerful, but his wealth and dominion came when he went to Egypt. He entreated Abram well for her sake, and he had given him sheep oxen and assists, and men's servants and she assists, and camels and all of that. Let's read down, he says the lord. Now plagued Pharaoh. Are you saying that? Now? Everybody? Look at this? This is powerful, my God. Now he goes to meet the king in Egypt. Abimeleg? Is that true? And Abimeleg says, there is something I'm looking for. But I understand that one of the laws of life is the law of exchange. I will have to entreat your favor. This is what I have. Something must leave me for something from you to come. Are you saying now, the wisdom of Egypt. He didn't sit down and wish the woman like many of us would do. He said, no, I know that I have to give you something that is valuable that you need. That. The table of detin is the table of negotiation. It's not just the table of wishes. World leaders know this. So it says, let me give you gifts. I see that you are not very wealthy. I am wealthy. I need this woman, you've told me as your sister. It took God to intervene God to say heyes. He started plaguing him because of Abraham's wife. Now that is the power of a relationship with God. After you have a relationship with God, when you go to the cosmos and Satan wants who take an advantage of you, that God, who you have a covenant with, will now speak for you like he's speaking God already. Notice already the gift has been given, and there's no record of him collecting it back eighteen Pharaoh called a Brahma and said, what is this that thou hast done to me? Thou did not tell me that she was your wife? Nineteen It says, why say it down that she's my sister. I may have taken out to wife. Now behold, take your wife and go, but not alone. Go with all the gifts that I brought to you. Are we together? Now go with everything? Verse twenty says Pharaoh commanded the man concerning him. They sent him away and his wife and all that he had. Now give us thirteen Verse one, It will make a lot of sense to you. Now Abraham went out of Egypt, he and his wife and all that he had and lot with him to the south. Are we together? So tell me, please, why did God send him to Egypt? From this story, you read it. What did he really do in Egypt? There was something he needed for his destiny, But he was found in Egypt. He went out of Egypt. Verse two, Abrahm was very rich in cattle. Aha, next time you read it, you know where it came from. Now he was rich in silver, he was rich in gold. Let's stop there. Don't be afraid. When God sends you to learn the wisdom of Egypt. You don't have to be compromised. It is the wisdom of the serpent. You can learn and still have the dignity of kingdom integrity. Why because your relationship with God is still intact. So he says you are a sheep in the midst of wolves. You don't run away. You have to wear the regalia of wolves to look like one, but you know by heart that you are sheep. So you will register the company like other companies. You will go for the board meetings too, with secular people and antichrist people. You don't run away waiting for only believers to teach you secular knowledge. You will go to a university with heidionistic people, and while they're teaching, you still have the conviction of Heaven. Are we together now? Allelujah. Is very important for you to understand this the price of greater enlightenment. I've had the honor and the privilege of learning the wisdom of leadership and even administration, and it is not all the teachings. I have a system of verifying and editing everything I learned. Albeit my heart is open to receive wisdom from people. They tell you someone is a professor in Harvard and Oxford and yell. It'll be stupid of you to think they don't know what they're saying. They may not understand spiritual things, but as far as the matters of Egypt is concerned, they have something you need. This is where the pride of Christians come. We hold our Bible and we say yes. But the truth is that some of us cannot interpret what is written there until we take advantage of the wisdom of Egypt. You are not allowed to copy the lifestyle of Egypt, not to bow to the gods of Egypt, but you can extract their wisdom. Are will learning so for some of you here, in addition to your prayer, in addition to your first thing, in addition to what God has done, you may need to go online and learn about administration and leadership. A thirty minutes video on proper administration can turn your ministry to a new dimension. The problem with the ministry is not spirituality. You are doing well, but you do not know how to multiply and preserve things. There are ministries that their problem is financial management, because the truth is they do not have the wisdom and intelligence for proper planning. It's not that God is not faithful, but there is no system. And this is even true for nations. No wonder, many own believing nations seem to have economic stability, and they may not honor the God of health. But my goodness, you see the dexterity, you see organization in those nations. We can humble ourselves and learn. When it has to do with the wisdom of the cosmos, it is not on scriptural to learn. Albeit you submitted to the wisdom of the world, and a bits the part of it that directly does not promote kingdom come. But there is a part of it that is important. Look onto Abraham, your father, and to sell Ah that body. If you ever find out how Abraham was rich, he was sent to Egypt. The Bible says, talking about Moses, now give us that scripture asks chapter seven and twenty two. It says that Moses was sent and he learned. He was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians. God himself allowed him. I hope you know Moses was in ministry. Moses was not like Daniel, who was in politics. Do you know when Daniel went? I wish we had time would have dealt with the story of Daniel. When Daniel went to Egypt, it's in your Bible. In Daniel, chapter one and verse eight, the Bible says when they went there as slaves, Daniel proposed in his heart that you would not define himself with the king's meat, not the king's knowledge. It was the king's meat. He refused because it was given to idols, but he was taught the ways of the Babylonians. It's in your Bible. It was the king's meat. He rejected because this one was offered directly to idols. But the wisdom of the Babylonians he had it, and after ten days they tested him, he's said he was ten times better. Is it in your Bible? Could it be that there are many many things? In addition not in defiance to spiritual laws. We must incorporate, guided by the word of God AND's structured mentorship. There are laws of life. There are realities about the human nature that we must no one understands, or the wise failure will be imminent for many people. For the way of the Lord is the way of we wisdom ah Jus the way. So if Jesus says the children of this world are wiser than us, it means there is something we must learn for God to use Moses. He sent Moses to Egypt. Moses spent a major part of his life on that tutors and governors that were largely Antichrist. Abraham was sent in Egypt, and he came back and got wisdom, and he was able to use it Joseph. The same thing happened to Joseph. When Joseph went to Egypt. Joseph did not just go to Egypt and sat there. There were things he knew and learned, all for his enthronement. What of Jesus. Jesus came to abolish the law. But when he came, the first thing he did was to go to the temple. The same scribes and Pharisees who Jesus said, you are of your father the devil. Yet he's submitted to them, and he learned. It is written that he used to defeat Satan was land in the temple. Are we together? Even though he was the word of God? Are you seeing the pattern there? The same thing happened with Paul. Paul who would later be used by God as a scribe and a pharisee. He submitted himself to learn he was the doctor of the law, and then when he had an encounter, he did not waste it. There was a time where it was not prayer that saved him. He said, Hey, I'm a pharisee, don't kill me. He had to use the wisdom. He had to use that wisdom. He said, I'm a pharisee. I have a right to be alive. Can I tell you there are many roads that you will need in your journey to destiny. There are times where you will have to use the advantage of the wisdom of the cosmos. He said, do not be afraid. I have many people in that city. That is the basis of your security. There are angels, but as far as per your sustenance in this city, find rest. It is the numbers that will become your security. He said, in the multitude of men is the King's honor. This is the wisdom of the cosmos. Most believers do not know and appreciate the power of influence. For instance, we reject it as though it is antichrist. It can be antichrist if not managed. And we have ignor influence to our detriment. If God has given us wisdom, say amen, let's hurry up. Price number four. What is the fourth price for higher dimensions? Greater dimensions? The price of greater contribution slash productivity, the price you want to be great and you want to exploree virgin dimensions in the spirit and in life and destiny especially, the fourth price is the price of greater contribution, the price of productivity. Proverbs, chapter eighteen and verse sixteen. It says the gift of a man, or a man's gift, make get room for him, and bring get him. Someone says, bringet him. The gift does not only make room. It can transport you from one realm to the other, one realm of possibility to the other. It bringeth him before great men. There's no way for him to get to the place of great men, but his gift would bring him before great men. Hallelujah. This is very very important in Daniel chapter five. Let's read verse ten. Let's look at how the Lord exalted Daniel in Daniel chapter five. Now a little background when you read from versue don't turn there, let me jos. The Bible talks about the son of Nebocadnezza Belshazza. Is that true? And the Bible says they had stolen vessels from the house of God, and they were making merry, and you know, giving the credit to the God of the Babylonians and all of that. Suddenly he hand pierces through they are placed there and rights on the wall Mene Menetta kel who fastened and the king was this top. The Bible says, he shook, his legs were shaky, and he called on all the astrologers and the sorcerers to come and help interpret, and sadly they could not, and he was downcast. Are we together? Verse ten? Now you will understand it from there, The Bible says the queen his wife, Now by reason of the words of the king and his lords came into the banquet house, and the queen spake and said, O King live forever. Let not thy thoughts trouble thee nor thy countenance be changed verse six. Next verse, he says, there is a man in thy kingdom in whom the spirit of the Holy Gods is, and in the days of thy Father's lights and understanding and wisdom like the wisdom of the gods was found in him, whom the King never recognized. That thy father said made master over the magicians. Look at the role they gave him. He was master over what and and this is the position he occupied in Egypt verse twelve. For as much as an excellent spirit and knowledge and understanding, interpretain of dreams, and showing of heart sentences, look at solutions dissolving of doubts were found in the same with same Daniel, The same Daniel that proposed that he will not defy himself with the King's meat. The same Daniel that called upon the Lord strong priesthood what he was Daniel with this pletorah of abilities and solutions, showing of heart sentences, dissolving of doubts were all found in the same person. He said, let him be called, and he will show the interpretation. Next verse. Then was Daniel brought in before the King, and the King spake unto Daniel, d Thou, Daniel art Thou, the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of jury. And fourteen he said, yes, and he said, I have heard of THEE that the spirit of the gods is indeed, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom is found indeed. Remember this was a hedonistic king testifying over Daniel. Fifteen. We're reading to seventeen. And now the wise men, the astrologers, have been brought in before me, that they should read the writings and make none on to meet the interpretation thereof. But they could not show the interpretation of the things. Sixteen It says, I have heard of thee that thou can't make interpretations and dissolve doubts. Why was he called into the palace? The solution the extent of the solution you could provide. His level of productivity was so much the king didn't want to bring him, but the wife advised him and said, if it's to solve this your problem, there is only one man. The same thing happened to Joseph. Are you seeing the patterns now? Now? If thou can read the writing and make no one to meet the interpretation. What would be the reward Thou shalt be clothed with scarlet and have a chain of gold about your neck, and thou shalt be the third ruler of the kingdom. Instant promotion, the potential for promotion. But I love Daniel. Daniel answered and said, letter gives it to myself. A man who is not blessed, who not speak like this, he says, and give your rewards to another. Yet, because I know that dominion is a product of solutions, I will read the writings onto the king and make known to him the interpretation. There is confidence that competence brings. There is a level of confidence if you are competent, I can tell you this. There is a level of confidence, not pride, Daniel the Great, look at what the king was willing to offer him. Just for interpreting this, I will make you the third in the kingdom. Now, when you read this, you will see I don't have the time for us to read. But Daniel now told him something that will consider in maybe the next point. And listen, your father died because of pride, you too, you are going to die because of pride. The Bible said that same night he was slain away together. Let's read six Verse one, Daniel, still, Daniel, don't be tired of scripture. It gives us wisdom. It plays Darios to set over the kingdom, and one hundred and twenty princes, which should be over the whole kingdom. Verse two he said, and over these three precedents of whom Daniel was, what first? Of whom Daniel was first. So even though he did not collect the gifts of Belshazzar, when Darius became king, he lifted him no wonder when Shadrak, Mayshak and a bed Nego were suffering, it was mine, not him. I hope you know that. Listen, believe us. We must get to a point where we place value on productivity. If we do not place value on productivity, it is going to affect us. It is affecting Africa. It is affecting even the church in Nigeria. The Bible already says we are the light of the world, We are the assault of the earth. In addition to our priesthood, we must understand the power of superior contributions and productivity. Let me tell you something. Your productivity can bring you to a position in one day where you will salvage the destinies of men and bring honor and glory to the name of the Lord. The nation of Israel were preserved because Daniel true value rose to the position where you were second in command and under his watch, God's people were preserved until their roles are not a pharaoh who knew not Joseph. Are we together may God forbidding that the time will come in this nation because of lack of productivity. They will shut down and clamp down Christian activities because of one policy, and there will be nobody to speak. Can I tell you we can be effective priests, but if our contribution is not superior, to go beyond religion, beyond race, beyond the local environment, we are going to remain small. This is an apostolic message. Nations are built with a combination of priesthood and superior contribution, not priesthood alone. Superior contribution. Hallelujah, so that we do not get to a point where, respectfully speaking, look at what has happened to our nation and many nations in Africa. Anything happens, we become the victims of it, whether it is policies, migration, policies, whatever it is. Because the truth is with respect to the global table. Our contribution may be significant within a place, but it's not People depend on the facts and the figures. The figures don't lie if you contribute seriously. As far as the Table of Nations is concerned, there are certain statements that will not be made to you. Is that true? That is why we pray that there will be men who are on fire for Jesus fill you the Holy spirit, but filled with superior wisdom, that God will lift them. Are we together to be captains of industry? That the time will come in this nation it is the church who will determine political leaders, the church who will determine economic leaders. But it's not just to shout amen. We will keep saying amen and remain low because it would take contribution. Contribution is what legitimizes the door of greatness to open for you, not sentiments. Contribution. How many believers have been given projects, construction projects. They are on fire, but they did a bad job because they will not train themselves and hide under the fact that remember we are believers. I believe in spirituality, but I believe in excellence. That you deliver at a level that defies any that anybody who wants to speak against you. If we had time to read Daniel chapter six, you will see that by reason of he's being exalted as one of the precedents, there were few people who were angry, and the Bible says they came to check him using the basis of incompetence, and they found him upright. There was nothing they could get, so they had to go to the issue of prayer. The goal was to trap Daniel, but he was not only spiritual. He was so exceptional in his duty allelujah, value and contribution as a man of God. The pulpit should not only be should not be your only jurisdiction of dominion. Business people gather and you are to speak to them, do you have something to tell them? If diplomats gather together and they said, plea, it's just a ten minutes charge, just to encourage them, do you have what to tell them? Make up your mind to be competent. It's a decision I made with myself, and I have challenged people. And you see, when you make up your mind to be competent, God will send those who need that kind of thing to you. Look at the men of David, those who were distressed, those who are in debt, those who were confused. David turned them into mighty men, not just mighty men in terms of the spiritual context. They were warriors with honor. The Bible says one of them stood in the same position and held a knife and brought down eight hundred people. And even when he released the knife, it refused to leave his hand. It will not leave his hand. That is a level of mastery. Cononia, please hear me in the name of Jesus, in the area where God would want you to serve his purposes. Go for knowledge. Go for knowledge yourself and lend challenge yourself. If you are in the banking sector, be the best, be exceptional. I told you you don't stop till you save kings. You own a restaurant, let it be the best. You're a politician, rise to the highest level that within your time of politics you bring great honor to the name of the Lord. Developmental projects. That it does not have to be whether you're a Christian or Muslim or anything in between. That everybody can see and attests to the fact that this governor, this president, this minister, this board member, own believers can come unanimously and says sincerely. If it is in terms of competence, let's throw away this. This person can deliver. Until we get to that point, we will keep flattering ourselves with religious sentiments and it will not work. Our priesthood will prepare the heavens to favor us. Listen, it is your assignment to be valid and competent. It is God's assignment to connect you to those who need it, can and reward it. Are we together now? You have to. Understand how it works. It was Daniel's assignment to be competent. It was God's assignment to connect him to the King, to his wife. It was Joseph's assignment to be competent. It was God's assignment to give the dream the spiritual advantage. Will be wasted if you are not prepared. It is often said that favor is when preparation meets opportunity. There are many preachers who love Jesus, but they are not ready to speak to a global audience. They are not ready to speak to intelligent people. They are not ready to communicate the truth of the Kingdom with wisdom and exactitude. Because we have not worked on ourselves. We have prayed, but we have not built ourselves. It takes more than just prayer and Bible study. Let me tell you to be able to build a ministry that flourishes. There many other components to be able to communicate to people. People are not stupid. They will not just come and listen to nonsense. You must be thoroughly furnished, like a read that has been taken out of fire. So you are speaking, and a CEO is listening to you, a prayer warrior is listening to you. Away together, and even those who are not born again as let me tell you this without any sense of pride. There are many many Muslims and unbelievers right now who are connecting and listening to me. They are listening with your heart open because even though they may not believe in Jesus, but there is a dimension of the truth that is life applicable. They can use it for their businesses and come back with results. At least they are coming close to the gates of the kingdom. Refuse to be incompetent and don't give any excuses for it. They send you to deliver a speech to a board, do your homework, wake up in the night, cross the t's and dodge the eyes. You are human, but you can be human to an extent that you are almost godlike. Competence is a possibility in the world of men. Let's stop giving flamesy excuses. You are a leader. Nobody will follow you just for sentiments, tribal sentiments, sentiments of regions. You must be competent to deliver. People want to be proud of their leaders. They can stand and say, this is my pastor this is my man of God, not bringing rubbish and commanding loyalty. It will not work that way. I love you or that's why I'm pounding on. You will soon reconcile, But for this one. Just get it into your spirits. You would thank me for it. Superior dimensions in life and destiny, access to the ears of kings and nations. No, it will not just come by priesthood alone. In addition to priesthood, a rich, qualitative spiritual life, there must be substance that you can deliver. Armen amen amen, Amen, Amen, Amen Amen Amen. I'm saying amen to what I've told you. That's my song. Amen amen amen amen amen amen amen amen amen amen amen amen. Amen one more time, amen. Amen amen amen amen amen amen amen. Amen amen Am Price number five. Were wrapping up the price of strategic connections? What does it take to scale new heights in the Spirit and in destiny? Price number five The Price of strategic connections Ecclesias Sis, Chapter four place from verse nine and ten. It says two are better than one. Two are better than one. Why they have a good reward for their label. That means your productivity is multiplied to the degree to which you are connected. Verse ten, it says, for if one fall, the other, one will lift up his fellow, but war to him that is alone when he faileth, for he had not and notder to help him. Listen, there are many kinds of connections in your life, but there are strategic connections that define your life. I'm going to give you two of them very quickly. Number one is Nemayah Chapter two, the first eleven verses, wh will not read everything. The Bible talks about Nehemiah, who was the cop bearer of the king at Taxis that kind of name? I don't know why he didn't give us a shorter name. I will call him the King of Passia, so that I can have my peace to preach away together. And it came to pass in the Mount Nissan the twenty eth year. Remember our king again, the King of Passia. That wine was found before him, and I took up the wine. I gave it to the king. Now I had not been before time sad in his presence. Nemiah is speaking. Now. He says, when the king saw his countenance, he said, Nemiah, why are you sick? And I mean, why are you sorrowful? I know you are not sick. That means Nemiah was a faithful court beera. Notice the transition from a cop beera to the one who will now build the Jerusalem Wall. He looked at the king, and the king loved him so much. Verse three. Just give us the verses I can read or explain whichever. He says, why should my countenance not fall when I am here and the place of my father's sepulchers? In other words, I am here and the Jerusalem world has not been built. Let's go to verse four. The king said, so what is your request? Now? Everybody says strategic connections. When you are connected to the king, it's easy for some things to happen. First strategic connections. The king said, so what should I do? Now, he said, I prayed to the God of heaven. Verse five. The King said, if it or he said, if it pleased the King, and if your servant has found favor in th side, send me now to Judah and to the city of my father's Sepulchus, that I may build it. Six And the King said, unto me. The queen was sitting by him, for how long will your journey be? And when will you return? So it pleased the king to send him. What's what the king did? I want to show you the power of strategic connections. Moreover, I said, unto the King, if it pleased the King, let let us be given to me to the governors beyond the river, that they may convey me over is guarantee my safety and support me. Instead of meeting all the governors one by one, I met the King, who has influenced over them, and I said, King, give me a letter away together verse eight, and a letter onto Anserf, the keeper of the King's forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gate of the palace right and the wall of the city for the house that I may enter into. And the King granted me according to the good hand of God upon me. Verse nine, it says, then I came to the governors beyond the river and gave them the king's letters. Now the king had sent captains of the army and the horsemen with me, says strategic connections. That guy would have died in the forest. He would have died in several places. He knew all the people he would have to meet one by one, and he said, King, you have influence. If I have a relationship with you. All I know it is a letter. And look at how the man jumped it. He said, get on my chariots. He's sent him with chariots, so every time they saw him, Ah from the King, Yes, sir, please pass. Strategic relationships can shorten the time of your arrival to the next level. There are many of us who are meeting people one by one, are meeting gates and systems one by one. We need to pray and say, Lord, in addition to those who have connected with me with bring me to a point where I am connected to kings and gatekeepers. In one day. They will open a door for you that may take others ten years away. Together. Generally, relationships are profitable, but believe me to rise to certain levels in life. There are certain strategic connections that will be needed in your life. They will redefine everything about to your life. Second King, Chapter five. Let's read from verse one. The Bible talks about a man called Naman of the Host, the king of Syria. He said he was a great man with his master. He was honorable because by him deliverance had come to Syria. The Bible says he was a mighty man, but he was lepros. Let's go to verse two. The Syrians came and they captured Israel, and then a little girl was captured also, who waited on Nyman's wife. Verse three. Now I want to show you something there she said on to her mistress, would God, my lord, where with the prophet in Samaria? For he would recover you. Are we together? Four? So he went in and told the lord, toss and toss. This is what has happened. Let's go to verse five. The king of Syria said, go you see the letter again? Is it in your bible? Now this is the story. The little girl is saying, my lord or my master, oh, my boss, there is a prophet, a mighty prophet. If you go to that prophet in Israel. He can cure you of this. But I don't think you have the kind of influence to meet that prophet, because it's a great prophet. And immediately no man would have gone and said, I'm a captain of the army. He would have been surprised. You see the way Elija treated him. It even come out Eliza was not a small man. The prophets, or then the kings. So these guys were. They had their own pride and pedigree to unfortunately away together. Now what's what he did to save him? The body of negotiations and all of this. This is the wisdom of the cosmos that believers must learn. The King of Syria said, go, I will send a letter on to the King of Israel. And he departed, and it took him all of those gifts. Verse six. He brought the letter the King of Israel, saying, now, when this letter has come to you, behold, I have herewith send Naman, my servant, to d that dau Mayor's recover him of his leprosy. The remaining is history down to verse eleven. Look at how easy it became for the king to be healed, for Noaman to be healed because he had the endorsement of a great man's relationship. He went to the king, and when the king was downcast, the news reached Elisha quickly, and Eliza said, don't worry. Send him to me and he will know. There is a prophet in Israel. To cut the long story shot, the man was healed. Could it be that many things that look had in your life now is because the relationship that has the power and the influence and the capacity to accelerate it has not come. The price for greater dimensions is the price of strategic connections. Strategic connections, let me tell you the truth. It is a good thing for God to give you influence and access to the hearts of kings, because it will accelerate your journey economically and otherwise. There are people who are heavily defended and blessed. There are people who are heavily protected and supported because there are kings. There are captains who love them. There are men of God in this nation, men of God in Africa. Who is not just the poor pit that is protecting them. God in Heaven is there to defend them, but they are They have the jealousy and the loyalty of kings across the globe. Nations will close and open again for their sake? Are we learning? Let me give us the last one, so we pray I missed out on the story of the Shunamite woman. There's no time for that would have spoken about the Shunamite woman the same Elishah who came to her and said, what should I do for you? Notice the woman when she saw Elisha in Second King, chapter four. You find out from verse eight to seventeen when she saw Elisha, she discerned that this was a great man of God. Immediately she started preparing something to honor him. And Elisha came after a while and said, you've been helping me. What should I do? Should I speak to the King for you? He had that authority King help this woman, and that would have been it. Listen, not everybody is limited. This is a very very sincere statement. Challenges are not general. They are limited. As much as people are suffering. There are people who with the same letter that letter principle is still walking till today in Nigeria and across the globe. There are people who may be ordinary people, but they will carry letters from superior voices with authorities and can take and say, listen, I just came to do who are you? I came with a letter from who ah? Okay, where do you know him? It happens to be my uncle, or it happens to be someone God brought to my life. Are you sure? Let me see help this person? Please give him all the support needed. Sign will talk later. That's the end of it. So what are you looking for. I've applied this as ten times. It does not work. Okay, come back tomorrow, drop your password. Go that's the end of it. Or Okay, there's a job given there, but I don't have a scholarship for the master's program. But it's too late, we've closed the door. Well, social persons said I should give you. Please help him. Will talk about your wife's issue tomorrow. Everybody, including the king, has this area of need. The person who can solve the king's problem are we together can get the king's favor too, for himself and for orders. Kings have problems. They can solve the problems of orders, but there are others who can solve their problem. You need both in your life, the kings who can solve your problems and access to the ones who solved the problem of kings the last one. And we pray, did someone get blessed in schuch today? So that by the time you're sharing the grace is a wiser version of you that now leaves you know what to look for. You know what to pray for. Your prayer life now is on fire, your world, life, your passion for God. But you can see the missing links. Ah, this is why my life has clammed down in one place. Are you ready for number whats now? Number six? The price of humility? This is the last price you want to rise to a higher level, The price of humility. James four, verse six. James four, verse six. Pay attention as we wrap up, But he give it more grace. Wherefore he said, God resisted the proud. Is that in your Bible, But give it grace to the humble. Please give us write for reference. We may not read it, but just write. Daniel Chapter five, from verse eighteen to thirty one. This was Daniel speaking to bel Sheezza about Nebocadnezzar and his pride. He said, your father felt because of pride, he exalted himself more than the king of heaven, and he fell and you now his son, you are following the same step. What happened to your father, what happened to you? And he died and Darius took over. In James, chapter four and verse ten, the Bible tells us powerfully the blessedness of humility James four ten. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. This is a principle that I've learned for my own life. I've lanted by the privilege of relationship with the fathers of faith in this nation, not just in terms of the spiritual dimensions, even in several areas. You know great people largely by the extent of pride and humility. They are truly very humble people. They will learn and learn again and learn from anybody. You can see somebody you study some of these intellectuals abroad. You can see somebody who is a professor for excellence listening to a little child talking to him. And if you're saying, professor this and that, you are wrong, and you say, oh, really not, I'm wrong. You meet me at the class. Now you'll tell him I'm wrong. And this is somebody who is a learned fellow, and you will listen and learn the same thing you see with very prosperous people. And I pray that this will become a culture in our hearts, that as we rise, we will remain ever humble. God, You are the reason for all that I am. You are the reason for all that I have. Even so the nations praise you your workings in my life. I acknowledge before you and before them that I'm not in before you, and God will measure a thousand cubits for you. You are ready to go higher. Pride is a killer, my precious people. Pride destroys, and as we prepare to pray, I want us to start with this prayer over pride. There are some of us who pride has brought us to positions of shame and reproach. Right now we are shadows of ourselves because we became full of ourselves to acknowledge the God of Heaven as the basis for all that you are, and all that you have is true humility. Are we together to remain ever humble before Him? It is my prayer for myself, It is my prayer for this great ministry. It is my prayer for the Body of Christ. It is my prayer for you and everybody who I truly love and care for. That humility will be signature in your life that when people look at you and say, why are you humble? When everything is working in your life left right and center you have seen the faithfulness of girl, you will tell them that it's not just something I do mechanically. It is a revelation. It sustains the key to my next level. Pride is a demoter, it will demote you regardless the position. Humility is a promoter, it will lift you beyond this level. I've handed to you tonight, ladies and gentlemen, people of God, six keys that if you work in keeping with these keys, I give you a guarantee by the integrity of Scripture, you will watch your life move from one level to the other, first in your spiritual triumph, and then your destiny adventure, and then every aspect of your life. These are the keys that the great have traded with, that have brought them to where they are and continues to take them to levels. Virgin dimensions in the spirit, virgin dimensions in destiny. Now, thanks be to God, the Bible says, which causes us always to triumph. Let me wrap up again with Prophabshapter four. It says, the path of the just is as a shining light that shined more and more onto the perfect day. Please rise upon your feet, Please rise upon your feet. We're going to pray. Prayer point number one, just two prayer points for tonight. Prayer point number one. You are going to ask the God of Heaven that this this that was listed, these six keys that represent the price for new and superior dimensions, that the grace be given to you from Heaven to work in keeping with every one of these. Go ahead and lift your voice on pray. The Bible says, now that ye know these things, happy are you if you do them? Is someone praying? I obtain grace in the name of Jesus Christ. I obtain grace by the power of the Holy Spirit. I obtain grace in the name of Jesus Christ. The price of a deeper experience with God, the price of im bending focus, the price of greater enlightenment, the price of greater contribution and productivity, the price of strategic connections, and finally, the price of humility.

I will excel in my priesthood. I will excel as fa as dominion is concerned, wisdom to operate in the cosmos, in the name of Jesus Christ. In the name of Jesus Christ. Before I speak over your life to wrap up tonight's meeting, let me make an aut call. One of the greatest index to measure the success of any man of God and any ministry is the souls that come directly through your preaching to Jesus Christ. Soul winning, in order of priority, second only to your work with God, is the greatest index for measuring ministerial success. No matter what you have and do, if souls do not come to Jesus, even if it is one soul on account of the truths that you communicate, then you have not done justice. Let's minimize movement. I want to make an aut call. There are people here from the start. When I gave the first key and the first price, the price of it deeper work with God. The Holy Spirit convicted you immediately. This is you he's talking about. I sent you to church tonight for this reason and to hear this. You're saying, Apostle, I truly need to make my way right with Jesus Christ. Perhaps you have never truly been saved. You came here by invitation, or you have been here watching orders saved, and it has not really dawn on you that you should make that decision. Tonight is your chance. And then, for those who are saying, Apostle, I want to rededicate my life, I cannot truly say that my work with God is rich enough. I know that I've veered off and I need restoration. We have just one minute for you, wherever you are. I want you to leave your seat and quickly come and stand right here quickly come and stand. Let's celebrate them as they come. Don't be afraid, don't be ashamed. Jesus is calling on you. Wherever you are. Keep clapping as they come. God bless you. Keep clapping as they come. God bless you, God bless you. Bless you. You are outside, you're off the balcony, all of the overflows, and you are following at home, watching by way of television or a rebroadcast. It is never too late to make up your mind for Jesus, coin Onia. Is this the best you can do. Let's encourage them as they come, young and old alike. Jesus is calling you. Jesus is calling you. Hallelujah, hallelujah. God bless you. If you're still joining them, please join them quickly. I want to lead you to pray the salvation prayer. The Bible says, with the heartsman believes onto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made even onto salvation. Thank you so much for the courage, Thank you for me to stand boldly before Jesus and even before his people. The Bible says, as many who will come to him, he will in no wise cast away. And all of you who are out in front of your eliedy screens and someone who is watching from your home you're watching by way of television. Congratulations for your determination to make this decision. As I pray with them, I want you to pray and follow through with the prayer. I only ask that you do it believing that Jesus is listening to you and that this decision will translate into a new life for all of you who are in front. May I please request that you lift your right hand as a sign of surrender, and I want you to say this loud and Claire please say this after me. Say Lord Jesus, tonight I have heard your word. I love you with all my heart, and I desire to work with you and to live for you. Right now, I receive Jesus into my heart as my Lord, as my savior, and as my king. I declare that the power of sin, Satan, hell, and the grave is broken over my life. Right now I receive eternal life into my spirit, and I declare that I am a child of God. I go for whatever and backward never in Jesus' name. Please keep your hands lifted. Father, Thank you for these ones. They have made these declarations of Faith, and I decree and declare by the authority of Scripture that your sins are forgiven in the name of Jesus. The power of sin, satan, hell, and the grave is broken over your life. From tonight. We declare that you belong to the family of Faith. You are recipients of eternal life. You begin a work with God that would translate into an excellent life here on earth and even after. In the name of Jesus, I bless you with the blessings of heaven, and I declare for you that you begin a new walk with the Lord, full of testimonies, full of blessings.
