Let's get into the world this evening. One of the best things that happened to us as a people under God is the graciousness demonstrated in the provisions that we receive via the World of God. Through the world of God, we get to know Him. Through the Word of God, we get to build faith. Through the world of God, we get to receive weapons by which we stop the oppressions of the opposition of the devil. Through the Word of God, we are transformed and built up. Through God, we access our inheritances. The Word of God is such a blessing, and this is why we take time to always study and to be taught by the Spirit. So we can make the most that the Lord has made available for us as his children. Hallelujah. Praise the Lord, always a blessing. In my short time on earth, I've experience and enjoy so much from God, and I can tell to a very large extent, is the function. Of the world. Because He said, heaven and earth we pass away. Not one job or tito of my world will fail. When God wants to help you, he begins to speak to you, and anything God tells you, surely and certainly we come to pass. Hallelujah. I remember years ago when God told us we're going to take the Gospel to the nations. We're going to walk. His kingdom, his power, his glory amongst the heading. He didn't look like it, but he said it. And because he said it, his faithfulness, his power, his mercy, everything went to work. And today the things He has said are already beginning to manifest. And the beauty it is that it's happening without you making effort so that He can take the glory. I am persuaded that somebody will step into. A realm of rest. The things he told you, he will begin to accomplish them in this season. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, God is opiness. We are winning souls. We are advancing the frontiers of the Kingdom from nation to nation, and we are even beginning to scale. So it's not just one person doing it. Many persons are doing it at the same time in many nations. And he's so humbling. You know, I was in Malawi over the weekend and then personsonly had to leave. He said, he's going to Australia. He has a service. He was rushing to catch up with his service. You are just impacting nations, networking nations from the place of ease because God said it. I don't know what he told you, but I'm telling you it. We begin to manifest in this season. Praise God. We run back from different nations now to catch services. Just impacting nations. For Jesus, you will manifest in your generation in the name of the Lord Jesus. And we thank him for preservation. Landon this afternoon, strengthened and refreshed to be here to speak to us. And it's going to be from glory to glory. Hallelujah. Can we give him a big hand. We are not for granted, we are not taking it for granted. Praise God, hallelujah. So this evening, I just want to share with us what the Lord quickened my spirit on my way last night from my LAWI. I was heading towards at Thisez a Babe, and it was just strong in my spirit and I kept meditating upon it. And the Lord has impressed on me to share it with you because he wants to rout something into your life via what he wants me to share with you this evening. They remind a twenty nine verse eleven. You say when God created man, the motive and the motivation for our creation was love. God didn't create us to suffer. God didn't create us to be condemned. God didn't create us to be frustrated. He created us because He wanted to allow us the opportunity to experience the realities in his realm. However, within the intelligence of creation, it was necessary that we had will so that our creation would have meaning. Because it is possible for God to have created us like robots and we do his biddings without any form of rebellion. He would have programmed us that way, but in order for us to also appreciate creation and to enjoy it. He decided to factor certain things into our faculties so that creation we make. A need not only to God, but to be created. So you have emotion where you can feel, You have a mind where you can analyze. But over and above it, you have a wheel, so that the right and the power of choice is given to you. It's on this premise that creation will have meaning to you. Imagine if you walked into this service not because you chose to come, not because you had any expectation. When it was five o'clock, you just stood up, and you dressed up, and you came in and you sat down. When they are worshiping, nothing exappling inside you, you just stand up and lift your hand and drop it. That would have been a meaningless existence. But while you were in your house, you had the right and the choice to come and not to come. You processed the possibilities that this service will bring to your life. You process the experiences you are going to have if you're part of the service and you chose willingly to come, so you came because you wanted to. And then if at any point in the service you are dissatisfied, you still have the choice to respectfully work out. This is what gives meaning. Instance glory to God. So when God created us and created the visible realm, even the invincible, one of the things God decided to add into creation in order for creation to have meaning to the created, not just the creator. Is the right of free will, the right of choice, or your will. But the risk of having the will is that you will have authority to add to his creation. You will have authority to effect changes in his creation. You will have authority to permit and to not permit for things to happen, at least within your context. In his creation. Now, in creation the visible rema, in particular, he was going to hand over to man to oversee on his behalf. And this man has a will. Because the man has a will, creation will not only take thanks to him. But there is a risk because. The man now has the choice to decide what to do and what not to do. In fact, it is within this premise that worship is possible, because when you honor him, when you bow to him, when you yield to his desires, you are doing it not out of compulsion, but out of free choice. But we did this context again, it's a risk, a risk that if you permit what God does not sanctioning, you may begin to sabotage the program of creation. And that's what man did when he aligned to the desires and the instructions of the devil. He brought a contrary will and a contrary government into creation. But to see in God's essence and in God's nature, he is only scient. So he knows these possibilities can happen. He didn't trunct it because he also wanted you to experience the meaning. Of life, so he allowed it. But it created a system of salvation and many systems of intervention, so that if by any means, Man decides to repair while he's experiencing and enjoying creation, there is still a possibility for salvation. Glory to God. It's all that you have a child. You know that if the child is walking around, he can enjure himself. Now in a bit, for that child not to enjure himself, lock child down. He won't grow, he won't experience life. What you can't do is to caution the child and then to create systems of salvation so that while he is enjoying himself, in case he exposes himself to danger by violating your caution, you can't create a restoration for him. I have two boys now who loves standing on tables and jumping. If I stop them from jumping, there are things they can learn, their experiences they cannot have. So what I do is that I. Caution them, don't climb there, don't climb there, but they will still climb. Unfortunately, don't go there, don't go there, there we go there. Imagine if I now chain them on cheers because I don't want them to injure themselves, they will not experience life and will rob them off their childhood. There is a level of knowledge and intelligence that we never have. So while they are jumping, I keep cautioning. I think that they would be sensible not to But even as they are jumping, sometimes we put pillows on the ground so that if they jump. The ahead, you don't break. Praise God, you understand. So there's a system of salvation created in case you rebel, so that you will be saved. That's what God did. He cautioned the man not to God the way of rebellion. That's the system of the three of the knowledge of good and evil. Don't go the way of rebellion. If you do, you'll die. But he knew that the man he was a full grown child. So because God knew that the man had the tendency of doing so, God now created a system of salvation. In fact, the Bible is that Jesus is the land that was lamed before the foundation of the world, so salvation was already. Prepared before man failed. Nonetheless, God's the allowed man with free will if he chooses not to repel perfect but even if he does, he will be saved. Now before man gets to salvation, and even after salvation, God knows that the chaos the man would have created, the allowance the man would have given, would have brought in very dangerous operations within his context. So God did not only create a salvation system, He created many systems of intervention that the man could take advantage of even before he accesses salvation, and even as he's growing in salvation to be able to create safety and preservation. Hallelujah. And so as you grow and journey through life as a child of God, you must understand the systems of intervention beyond salvation. The systems of intervention that God has put in place, must them because this is what will give you an advantage regardless of the oppositions and the contrary forces that you will find in time. Now, before you begin to take advantage of those things, God decided to let you know ahead of time that in this context where you find yourself, he is the only one you can rely on, because he's the only person who sincerely lost you and clears for you. So Jeremiah twenty nine. That's eleven. In case you don't have a background knowledge of why there is wickedness on the earth, why we have death, why we have. All kinds of evil. In case you don't have the background understanding, God is telling you that while you are going through all of that, he is here for you, and he has a plan for you. And the plans he has for you are for good and not for evil. You may not understand the origin of the evil that you fix, but God is telling you he's not part of the evil. In fact, from what I've explained to you, we brought the evil on ourselves. But God is telling you that it's not part of the evil. If you will accept and work with him, he has a plan that will keep you from the evil and give you a life of glory. So jeremat numbers eleven. He said, I know the talks that I think towards you, said the Lord, they are thoughts of peace. Not of evil, to give you an expected end. Other translations say a hope and a future glory to God. So as we interact with God, one of the things with this comer are the many, many structures, many facilities, many operational modalities that he has put in place to give you a glorious life. The presence of the devil, notwithstanding, for instance, when you start dealing with God, you're with this cover that he gave us names as systems of intervention, systems of preservation, systems of restoration. That's why from the very first time God was introduced, he was introduced by a name. So as you walk through time, if we come your way, darkness will come your way. But you don't have a challenge if you know what weapon is available on how to use it. And one of the interventionive structures he has put in please is his name. So when you read the Old Testament, you're gonna find many names of God. The goal of these names is not for nomenclature. God doesn't need introduction. Everyone created knows God intrinsically. The Bible said, He is the light. And he said that light is the true light that lighted every man that comes into the world. All of us know God. All of us believe in the existence of God. Even the people who say God does not exist, they know He exists. The only angry with you because you have to be a fool to believe God does not exist. The Bible said, the fool says in his heart there's no God. And believe me. The people saying there's no God are too intelligent to be God fools. So they know God exists. They only angry with God. That's why when you ask them, they tell you, if God exists, why is this soul? Why is that sou? All right? So God has created systems of intervention, systems of preservation, systems of restoration for us as we walk through time, so that the presence of the devil and all. That is doing is of non effect. John chapter tenders ten is said the thief come net not but for to kill, to steal, and to destroy. He said, but I am come that you might have life, and life to the fool. So God is telling us, no matter how wicked the world is, no matter how dark the world is, no matter how fast the operasion of the devil is. He said, you can have life and life to two. So the presence of the devil is not a challenge. They said, I am come. In fact, Jesus said, in this world you will have tribulations. He said, God, be of good cheer. I have overcome the world. So whatever is happening in the world is not the problem. The problem is that we don't know the systems that have been put in place for our advantage. And when you read your Bible, one of such systems the name of God. So when you read the Bible, you. See that when Israel found themselves in dire situations, God revealed himselves by definite names, and those names o case shown deliverances. So you see Jehovah, Shama, Jehovah, Nissi, you see all the names of God, Jehovah, Jerry, El Shade, and Leon. All these names. God brought them as instruments of intervention, and every time they were invoked, a system of. Intervention was created and Israel was delivered. In fact, in the New Testament, when the names became too many, and God saw that you had to be a theologian for you to be blessed. He decided to aggregate the names into one. He modeled all of them together, and he turned into one name. And he said, his name shall because Jesus, because he shall save his people from their seams. Matthew, Chapter one, twenty one, twenty three. So every time I said Jesus, I provoke God's intervention in Jesus. All the names of God assembled. Shama is there, miss is there, El Shada is there, Lro is there. All the names of God are aggregated into what Jesus. So the name of God is a system of intervention. So anybody who knows the name of the Lord cannot be a victim. That's why the Bible said in Proverbs eight intent he said, the name of the Lord is a strong power. He said, the righteous run net dearin they are saved. The devil is present, def is present, wickedness is present. But I have the name of the Lord. Are you seeing that? If somebody wants to kill me in the name of Jesus, if. The gang God against me, in the name of Jesus, if I'm sick in my body, in the name of Jesus, if a demon comes against me in the name of Jesus. If business is not working well, in the name of Jesus, why the name of the Lord is a strong tower. The righteous run net deirin. They are saved. That's a system, that's a facility of intervention to make you invincible in a wicked world. But that's not all. There are other systems. For instance, they are nineteen of the Holy Spirit from the Old Testament into the New Testament. You see that three time God's children were stranded, the spirit of the Lord would descend upon one of them, and they would begin to advance things that were supernatural. Take for instance, when three nations roso against Judah armon Moa Mountsea. In Second Chronicles, verse twenty. They were afraid because the army was greatly They were greatly outnumbered by the army based on military intelligence and weaponry. They didn't have an advantage. And when they went to pray, God didn't send an army from heaven. The Holy girls just descended upon one of the songs of the prophets and they spoke, you don't need to fight in this battle. The battle is not yours is the lords. When they had it, it was enough the annoying had gone to walk. All they needed to do was to assemble singers. Imagine, how, how, how unreasonable on tactica, on intelligence is someunding that you have three nations with great enemy coming against you, and the God singers. And they were just singing and going into the battlefield. They were just singing and going second Chronicles twenty twenty one. The Lord is good, his message and your ed forever. By the time they got into the battlefield, that same annointing that came on the man to Professih entered the camp of the enemy, and the Bible said, God two second chronicles twenty set an ambushment amongst them, and they fell upon themselves. They destroyed themselves. Israel only came to take this points of war, in fact, in acts of their postus, after Tener started it. The Bible said, how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the holy ghost and with power, who went about doing good him in all that were oppressed of the devil. For God was with him, they annoying. In is the system of intervention. Now God also gives us his words as a system of intervention. The world we have is not just you get us about God. They have weapons. The Ramma of God is a weapon. That's why sometimes you are in the middle of a calamity. A world rises in your spirit. It may be a versal scripture that you quote that for three years, but now it's no longer invests. It has been animated. And when you speak that word, nations can open. You speak that world. Demons can flee, you spit that world, a God can cut out. You speak that world, sickness can disappear. In fact, in some one or seven verse twenty eight, the Bible said, and He sent this world, and heal them and deliver them from how many all of their oppression. So the word of. God is the system of intervention, and that there are no matters of such systems. The name of the Lord, the anointing of the spirit, or the workings of the holy gods, the word of the Lord. They are systems. The believer has no reason to be a victim or to be stranded. If he is stranded, it's because it does not know. In Hoseah six 'y four, the people said, my people are destroyed, not because they don't have sufficient advantage. Who there for six My people are. Destroyed for the lack of knowledge, since we have too much advantages that we are either not aware of or we are not deploying glory to God. It's not enough to say I'm a child of God. It's not enough to say I belong to the family of God. Do you know the things put together for your advantage? The Bible said in Detron nine twenty nine, he said, the secret things belong to God, except what the things that are revealed that belong. To us and to our children. But why were. Those things revealed? They were revealed for an advantage, because those secrets, those mysteries, are the things that bring glory to our lives. The Bible said in First Corinthians two the six he said, we speak wisdom or the mystery of God among them that are perfect, the same secret things of God. He said, we speak them among the mature, the ones who know it. It's said, this wisdom is not of this world, nor of the princess of this world that come to north, except but we speak the wisdom of God in the mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which was ordained before the foundation of the world for our glory. Before certain came, you were already glorified before sickness is came, you were already glorified. Before we can escape. God is not coming later. God preplanned for you. Your job is to know it and to engage it. Don't make it. Look like certain is so powerful and there's nothing we can do about it. No, we have the advantage. The Bible said, whatsoever is born of God or comet the world? He said, this is the victory that overcomes the world efun our faith. So you need to know the things available for your advantage. The name of God is one of it. The annointing is another, The word of God is another. Faith in God is the weapon. He said, this is the victory first John five four that over combat the world infun our faith. So anybody who believes God is impregnable to the operasions of the devil. The Bible said, those of us who believe God, we are like Mount Zion that cannot be moved. But you say that Christian appearing vulnerable and victimized and looking as the Oh God, it's not kind. Please trying to. Beg God for God to be touched so that God will do something. No, you don't need to do that. When God sends Jesus his mind was already touched. That was his highest demonstration that he was touched on your behalf. Your job now. Is to understandus the ordinances, the structures that have been put in place for your advantage. I wish I had time to deal with all the things and mentioning, But this is not what God wants me to talk about today. He has not sent me to talk about His name today. He has not sent me to talk about faith today. He has not sent me to talk about the anointing today. He has not sent me to talk about the world. But there is one unique strategic two of the kingdom that gives you advantage that God. Wants me to open your eyes to this evening. And the name of that weapon, the name of that infrastructure, the name of that ordinance, the name of that too is called messy. Within the catalog. Of the weapons and the structures that God has put in place to give you an advantage, one of the most potent is the messy of God. But guess what, many believe us still. Don't understand what the messy of God is or how to deploy the messy of God. I'm telling you. Some of the things we teach you here if you open your heart to understand them, and if you engage them, the world will look at you and then will marvel at the things God will do through your life. You will just rise up like this and take over. And why they're asking, how is it possible? You'll be going. You'll just be. Going on and on and on and on and on, and. They will be fascinated because this is our heritage. Glory to God. You were cleared to be a wonder You creator to functioning glory. You were creator to be a mavel to your generation. Praise God. God. They didn't just save you, He gave you dominion over the heath. You are supposed to live as a being of dominion, not the victim who is looking for help every day. But one of the things you must master is how to wield the resources of the kingdom made for your advantage. And for tonight, we want to zero into the messy of God. We will look at what mercy is. We will look at the areas we are messy is most effective. We will look at how to deploy messy so that from next week. We will begin to see people who things will happen in. And around their life and when you ask them, they say the Lord is merciful. When you ask them, they all says the messy of God. When you ask them, they says the hand of God. I'm not I think I'm talking to the wrong God. Let me talk to my people online this. Week you will see messy. Lookhi shine. Joy, I do no. Money fast yourself. Yvy w. H e shine jern. Do now honey money fast John Dello. Shure honey fast body. Best show Yemen John Ye. Shout show. I'm no. Syst. Sit down for a moment. Let's let's explain something. I want to maintain low temple, so I'm able to explain. You need to get this thing. I needed to enter your consciousness and to reframe your consciousness so. That every day as you move, these things define your thought pattern. Let them become strongholds in your mind so that nothing can remove it when you understand certain things. Look at the Psalmist, he said, do I walk through the valley of the shadow of death? He said, I fear no evil? You know you know what level of consciousness the man entered. He said, for doubt art with me, meaning he knew something about God's presence that they've family of the shadow of dead, couldn't pet up him. I'm not talking this one with few goose bombs. We are falling everywhere, and we say presence of God. For some of us, presence of God is a feeling. Ah, I felt it. I felt it, Hey, guys, in the value of the shadow of meaning everything was against him. His destination was all that destruction. The first thing he said is I'm not afraid. I'm not panicking. Oh what will happen? And I finished never I'm not ashamed, he said. I the reaffirmed it in this. I'm not saying when you are in church you are feeling something. When you are in your office and your boss tells you you are wished, when you are somewhere and they can't go up against you and they say you are finished, maybe the government of a nation says you are finished, or. You are You are doing a business. Everybody in that line of business right up against you, and it looks like you are sinking. And instead of crying, I'm begging God, where are you? Why what you said? Lord? I know you are with me. I'm not afraid. That's what the guy was saying. Do I walk through the value of the shadow of death. I fear no evil, for thou art with me. And he not began to say something, I'm not just alone here. I have roads authorities. He said that staff and die roll they comfort me. And he now said the one that blew my mind. He said, thou preparest a table for me in the presence of my enemies. My cop run it over. See, I don't have a bondance only when my friends are around. Even when those who say I'm finished, I can't see half overflowing dimension. That's what it means that you know it. So when you say presence of God, DEVI knew it. For him it was not a feeling. It was a real to real that even death could not shake him. I pray that God will open your understanding to begin to understand these truths to this debt. That when they said the name of God for you, it's not a no neglature that describes Jesus who came to represent God for you. It will become a weapon for you. It to mean you represent God because I have his name. If I'm there, he's there. When we said the anointing, need to be beyond a feeling you have, need to be knowing that there is a government over your life, and anywhere you go, things change because we are present. When we talk about things in the spirit, they. Will become real, real enough to impact existential things. Otherwise Christianity will be religion. All of us just get dying shorts. We are excited, but when we go into the world where we should manifest God, we become victings. And now there are many theologists even teaching us how to adopt the way of the world in order to have an advantage. Where are our weapons? He said in Songs of Solomon, Chapter four, Best four, he said, the neck of that is a place assembled the weapons, the mantus of many warriors. That means if Daniel operated it, I can operate it. What he carried in the air, I can tap into the frequency. If Tania could challenge Babylon, it means the corruption of a city can bring you down. It means if Joseph could defy Egypt, that means the wickedness of a nation cannot bring you down. Listen, nations didn't become wicked today. They have been weiked from tiny memorial, But the songs of God walked into those nations and shut them down. It's a time we fil me to speak of Kideo, to speak of Barakh, to speak of Jephtha, to speak of David Sawhere and the prophets, pull true faith, subdued kingdoms. There have been many wicked demo kingdo before you came. Have you not heard about Nimivel? Have you not heard about Sodom and Gomora? Have you not heard about Babylon? Have you not heard about Egypt? Nigeria is not the first nation where wickedness has entered. If they defied Babylon, if they defied Egypt, you can't shut down. We can'tness in your nation. The work pots as the present. Are you the first person that has been marginalized by the game of thrones? Did you read about dan here? Or the wise men of the ram got that together and reported dann here and told the king the lord you gave this man rebelled, they reported you somewhere. You say and finished. No, we don't finish. We takeover. We take over because the wa poonts. We use the imota, the itana. They don't fight with the generation. They remain forever and ever. Somebody will latch onto an annoying in this morning, this evening. You will latch onto a revelation this evening, and you will carry it like a mantu into you on world, and you will take over. I'm telling you men that beyond being members of a church, but defining wicked men in that places will rise Man, that we define authorities that are rebellious to the authority of God, then we rise. Thank your six for a moment, let's storty. If our Christianity has no impact on existential things, we have not gotten the truth. He said that shall know the truth, and it won't make you free. It said, if the son of Man shall set you free, John eight thirty two and thirty six, then you shall be free. Indeed, the proof that you have truth, it is not that you talk about. It is that you are free, and that you are free, indeed, free from the power of scene, free from the power of the devil, free from the forces of nature and the systemic forces orchestrated by wicked men to sabotage Gods agenda. We rise off above all of them. What I'm teaching you here. You will carry it as a weapon to your offical You will carry it as a weapon to your business. You will carry it as a weapon. To your ministry. The messy of God. One of the strongest forces of the realm is the force of messy. Now let's look at the etymology of the word messy. Let me begin from there, because we build on it. When we use the word messy, it means definite things, and you must understand it. So that you don't use this reality out of context. The word messy was used in the Old Testament because he played the role, and it was also used in the New Testament because he also played the role. In the Old Testament the Hebrew, there are three major words used for messy. Number one is the word has said, and the word has said he speaks of sted first love is a kind of love that is not only on conditional but does not fail. Number two, it speaks of convenant love. Number three, it speaks of loving kindness. So when we are talking messy, we are talking a steed first dimension of the love of God, the type of love that God has towards you. That nothing we make God change his mind. So when I'm talking messy, I mean God has taken a disposition of love towards me, and nothing. Can make him change his mind. In fact, as you started messy, w discover that messy becomes more potent when you become a That means what disqualify you is what makes God love you more. Then you know Messie at work if you ENTI state where something that should disqualify you becomes the reason why God. Reaches out in his love. That you know, this type of love is what the Bible called has sid is a love recognized as messy. Number two. The second Hebrew word for messy is. The word rahamin and that word is derived from the word rahim, and the word rahim is the word womb. So messy in this context is talking about deep compassion, deep deep compassion, tender affection. Or parental pity. So it's not just ted. First love is a deep compassion that when God looks at you, he senses something so deep. Like when a woman is carrying a child. The type of compassion that comes from beIN you, from your essence, not just about the person. It does something to your being. Then you know message at work Number three. The word from message the world hanan, and that word means to show faivor or graciousness or kindness. So from the Hebrew context, messy speaks of steed, first love, deep compassion and gracious disposition of Faivor so when we say God has messy towards someone, it means God has taken a posture of love towards that person and they will not change his mind, and that love has a depth in compassion, the same way a father piti is a child and riches out no matter what to assist. And then it means beyond pity, God is favorably disposed towards that person. That person enjoys God's magnanimity, that person enjoys God's Faithor so when we say messy, this is what we are saying. It means wherever you are, you are persuaded. God will leave me here, whether I am on top or down, God won't leave me, whether I am righteous or in saying God won't leave me. In fact, when I meansing, that's when I crime. More for messy, because there is a stedfastness in the love of God that is a compassion. When I am feeling, I know that. God is touched these things tree God faith and understanding of the intervention that must come to you. And then when I say messy, I mean people may be a billion there's something God has towards me that we make in faivor me regardless of the number. So I'm not helped. I'm not favored because we are few. We can be a billion. That is away. Messive distinguishes me for favor. That's why I don't use other people's report to define my outcome. Oh you are going somewhere, they say, listen, they have rejected fifty people. Be careful not to me. They may have rejected theosand people. Messies on my life. As I am coming, there is a disposition of favor towards me. My case is different. If you know these things, your life will change, your mindset will change. You know, Christians are too. Quick to accept verdics of failure and rejection, and the reason is because they don't know the heart of God towards them. Now, when you come into the New Testament and you look at the word messy, there are two major words used for messy. The first one is elios, and that one also speaks of compassion. But he speaks of compassion in practicality that means beyond sympathy, there is empathy. It's a compassion that tans. God to reach out, meaning when God sees you, he can't hold himself until he reaches out to you. This is why when we are in situations, we have expectation of intervention, because what Messi does is messive provokes in intervention. He's a practical compassion. It's a compassion that moves God to do something on your account. Number two is the world. I kid, I three most and I threemost speaks of pity and tenderness. So when God is dealing with me, he's dealing with me with tenderness. Now, look at what happened in Genesis chapter one, chapter three when Adam singed and God came to Adam. Imagine if God pulled this anger on Adam. Adam was hiding. He said it was a shame because he was naked. He thought the consequence of eating the fruit was nakedness, and God was looking at it. So you think the consequence of what you have done is that you are naked and his shame. And didn't know that the reason over six million Jews were destroyed by Hitler was what he did. Adam didn't know that thereasing billions of people have died of cancer, of hepatitis, of HIV, he's stressed to what he has done. Adam didn't know that the rising many we go to hell is because of what he has done. What I have done was seeing was I'm naked, and God came and covered in. If we tell you the weight of what you have done, you know some of you you commit see and that you come you just cry. You tell you are you are? You are? You are weighing. In fact, your action is based on what you feel is the weight of the scene. So instance, if somebody lies, he says, Lord, I'm sorry for this weakness. But when he phony cakes, he feels more bad. When he murdered somebody, he feels more bad. Now for nication has a very strong effect on you, because your body is the temple of the Holygos. But James two ten said, if you break one, you've broken off. And if you know the reconsequence of seeing, oh, Lord, I'm sorry. That's not the wages of seeing. The wages of sin is dead. But why you fell into sin and you are feeling bad. What you didn't know is that for God to accept you back, he came down from his throne in the likeness of his song, and he was killed on the cross, and he. Went to the grave and came back. God didn't tell us that we will go to hell and come back. He did it, and he restored us. So when we are talking mercy, we are talking compassion and tenderness in a way that sometimes God doesn't even show you the gravity of what you have done. He just restores you. He just restores you, brings you back into fellowship, and you are excited if he were to pull your eyes. So the gravity of what you have done even you we condemn yourself. So the subject of messy is one of the greatest guarantees that we have with God. This is not God compromising on his standard, but this is God putting every facility necessary for atonement so that He is justified to reach out to you and to restore you even when you don't deserve it. So it's on the strength of messy that our relationship with God is guaranteed. It's on the strength of messy that our consistent victory over the devil is guaranteed. It's on the strength of messy that the position of our victory is sustained. Because within messy, God does not only reach out. Within the context of messy, God will not change his mind. He will consistent reach old and make sure that you are safe. This is the foundational understanding, the very concept that you must have about the subject of messy. Now why does God opreak like this in messy Because when you are studying the subject of messy there are fourteen's Messy is relative to God. That insists that God functions the way he does in mercy. Number one, Messy is not just something God does. Messy is the nature of God. If you read your Bible you will see it. Exce Dos s. Thirty four and six ext. When the Lord passed by before Moses, he proclaimed, the. Lord, the Lord God. Hmm, this God is bigal he is introducing himself. It just passed. Imagine if I pass by you and I said Michael, Michael the Great even. You know he passed by Moses and Isai the. Lord, my God, the Lord God. He now began to describe himself. It's a merciful and gracious, long suffering and abundant in good and in truth. So messy is not just what God does. It's his natural. The Lord, the Lord God, messiful and gracious is my natural. When I express messy, I'm living. So the way God lives is through messy. See the way you breathe to survive. God ventilates life through messy. If God is not merciful, he affects his essence. I live by messy, I opread by messy. I function. It's my nature to be messiful. In Some one forty five US eight is that all these gracious and full of compassion, slow to anger, and great, is a messy. In fact, poems describing him in efficients to for he said, God who is rich in messy. Messy is what dominates the essence of God. So when you are dealing with God, you must understand that God is merciful. And what does messyful mean? Stead first love, deep compassion, gracious disposition. That's who God is. Some of us don't understand God from the dimension of his messy. We think God is our father in the natural. We describe God like our mother in the natural, so we arroget the weaknesses of our father to God. We arrogret the weaknesses of our mothers to God because that's the experience. We have growing up. We automatically assume God is sou So if you have a father who doesn't forgive when you approach God, you also think God is like that. Have you not seen places where they tell children don't go there? The child now goes there and enjoy himself. Then they look at him, suffer it. We told you not to go. Now that you have gone that thing, you will go. How many of yours have seen people like that? Before the child jumps into fire. Instead of rushing to pull him out, you hear the mother or the father shouting, I thought I told you not to go there. It's not the time to be saying you told him not to go there. Or you rescue the child, and then the ever bring the child after a fire, they start beating the child. You these stupidople. I told you not to go there. Now you are falling into fire. Your face is bumped. You will suffer it. And then they leave the child for one week. It's when infections start entering and neighbors start talking. For his eco's sake, he now calls a chemist, come and put capsule on that and let it drive up. Now, when that child grows up, he now sees God like that he fell into seeing. He commits an error. Now he's supposed to repent because the idea of repentance is sure, remorse and don't do it again. But even after repenting, he still thinks God holds it against him. And he's now thinking because of that, that favor he had with God he won't have again. He thinks because of that his job, that's the reason he lost his job. He thinks because of that is the reason why he is now a poor man. And anytime you meet him, he's lost in guilt. Ten years later, fifteen years later, he's still in quilt because he said God made him paw because of that thing God, they shouldn't do that he has done. So he's defining God from the lens of his father. You will really do a lot of Bible study to help that person, because even after you explain the concept, he will go and pick one scripture and bring it wit. It's not even connected. So you will talk and talk, talk and talk. He can never get it. You need to understand that messy is God's nature. God is not your showing it because he is feeling pity for you. In expression, yes he does feel pity, but God is showing it because primarily is his nature. That's why you must believe and rely on his step first. Love. That's why you must believe and rely on His graciousness. That's why you must believe and rely on his deep compassion towards you, LISSI, some of the things you are going through, what God is feeling towards you is compassion. You rise and oh, you rise and fall? You rise and fall, And God is feeling compassion for you. Where will my son stand? Oh, see his ordination, see his destiny. Time is passing. How can I help my son? But you don't know God. You are thinking God is standing with the javeney and he wants to kill you. And in fact, the reason why you are you are you are. You have bad luck. The reason why demons that tormenting you is because God is living them to torment you so that you learn the lesson as you are not here any world. I'm not saying our actions don't have consequences. I'm saying God is not facilitating those things to destroy us. Rather, God is reaching us to help us so that the consequences of our action does not destroy us. The defin is the one taking advantage of the consequences of our action to destroy us, not God. I'm showing you this. Listen, He appears simple, but this is why how many Christians can flourish. There are strongholds in their minds. If I lie, does it have consequences? Yes? But does God stand with those consequences to see me destroyed? No. God is trying to help me out of it. It's the devil that wants to take advantage of those consequences to destroy me, not God. If you don't understand this, listen. If you don't understand this, even when we are preaching and we are telling you the consequences of the things you do, you may. Think we are saying God, we destroy you for those things. That's not what we are saying. We are telling you what you are doing as consequences God. We try to help you, but it's better for you not to do those things because you may not even know how to access God's help and you may be destroyed, and the devil can take advantage of those things and destroy you even faster. That's why when we preach here, we show you the consequences of living in error can destroy you. The devil can take advantage of it. But we are not saying God is against you, are trying to destroy you because you fell into error. If you don't understand this, you will hear a message and inter pretty differently. So messy is God's natural messige, not just God's nature. Number two, Messy is the way God expresses his essence. The way God expresses his agenda, his essence, his authority is by messy. And that's why those who know God, they always entreat his messy. Every time there's a human need, the first response is God's messy. So your needs shall not take you away from God. Needs to assure you that even before you reach out, God has reached out, because when God sees human need, the first response from God is messy. Did you readers from the Prodigals on I will show you and Luke fifteen from eleven to thirty two. Before the guy reached out to the father, are taught to apologize, the Bible said, the father sprang from where he sat, rushed to the boy, kissed him, put his ring in his hand, get the boy his shoe, and welcomed him to the house. The moment God sees need from man, messy is activated. If you know how to deploy messy, you'll be shocked how fast your situations will turn around. When you read your Bible. Every time men cried for messy, there was instant intervention. That's how potent messy is. Look at the book the story of that in my own in Mark ten forty seven, the son of David, have messy on me. Jesus stopped. You know, when Jesus is moving, that's a reviv. That's the move of God. Nations depend on it, generations depend on it, thesepensations depend on it. God stop the reviv to attend to one man who called for messy. And the man met the man, He said, what do you need me to do for you? He said that I might see again. It is a receive your site instantly answer. Okay. See there are many things to hold onto in God. But I tell you start with messy because one of the major ways God expresses is natural expresses is wisdom is true messy. So in starting messy, you must understand what messy is to God. Number one, messy is God's natural Number two, messy is the system through which God interacts with humanity. And then number three, the thought thing you need to understand about messy relative to God is that God's messy is not God's compromise. God does not compromise his standard. His messy is operated through his wisdom and his justice. That's why he told Mossy he taught them. Paul was telling them. What he told Moses in Romance nine fifteen is. That I will have messy on whom I will have messy, so that I choose to operate with humanity. By messy does not mean I will lower my standard or I will compromise. I will show you how to assess God's messy because that you hear that God is messyful does not mean you want to do whatever you want to do. Because there is messy, Messy does not make God compromise. Are you following? You must understand this. It is God's natural. It's God's way of relating with man. But God does not compromise. Why operating mercy? Are you following? Number four in the subject of messy relative to God, The highest manifestation of God's messy is the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ. Understand it. There's my story we read from the Bible that showcases messy higher than that. The greatest expression, the greatest manifestation, is Christ. This is why any time we want to deal with God on account of messy. Our reference is the finished works of Christ, because it's in Christ that the greatest dimension, the greatest expression of messy, was manifested. So if I want to trust God for his messy every time, my strong reason will be Jesus. If I'm going to God seeking messy, and we not use any or that strong greasy other than Jesus. Now here this some of us. When we go to see God for messy, we use many things. Lord, look at me. I have been serving you for ten years. I have not compromised. Have messy on me. That may buy you some things in the rem but that's a very low currency. But unfortunately that's what most of us use. Lord. I kept my virginity for you. Why is my marriage not walking? Where the devil came in? Gout him out? You kept your virginity, but you. Don't have character. Walk on your character? Friends, go on? Is he a good thing? Yes, honorable, you should be commanded, But that's not an absolute guarantee to victory even in marriage. Lord, look at me. I've been serving as Asha in shorte for the past ten years. Faithfully, Why am I not prospering in my business? Well? The reward for services in heaven. Learn how to use your faith. I'm telling you this. These things look simple, but I'm showing you why two ten things are present, but we are not enjoying them. Many people, when they want to seek. Messy, they come with their records, records of faithfulness, records of loyalty. Those things are good. God sees them. You will have reward for them in eternity. But the shore respresentation, the sorest strong reason to present to God is Christ. That's why Paul said in Romance e taty two, if he did not with all this only begotten song, but freely have him for us? They say, how shy he not with him? How shy not with him? Give us? What are things? So if you want to have advantage in every realm. The highest expression, the highest statement of messy that God made was when Jesus hung on the cross. So all Louis stand there when you are having any discussion about messy. Am I driving this point home? At all? Messy is powerful. Messy means more to God than what we think. To God, messy is natural. To God. Messy is his way of dealing with humanity. To God, messy must be in placed if. You can have anything to do with humankind. This is why we all lose. Engage messy now very quickly, let me show you areas in Scripture where God demonstrated messy, because my goal is to help you believe it, this truth, so that you will start engaging it. Because I tell you the truth, No matter what, we are enjoying because of it, because of the anointing, because of the name of Jesus. We need messy because there will be caveats. We are your deficiencies. We make you not to maximize faith, not to maximize the name of Jesus, not to maximize the anointing. You know, we are. Messy becomes excellent those caveats where you lack, where you have deficiency. That's where messy covers for you. The things I don't know that makes me not to operate in faith, the things I don't know that make me not to utilize the name of Jesus, well, the things I don't know that make me not to function in the anointing, well, that's what messine makes up for me. So in addition to everything I have in God, I will never under messy. In fact, I put it first. So look at areas we are messy demonstrates it's excellency number one in the area of judgment. As you start dealing with God, one thing you will discover is that God is also a George. And because of that, you will notice that actions have retributions. In fact, some of them are sanctioned by spiritual laws. This is where you see the beauty of messy. In James Chapter two, verse thirteen, the man was speaking and he told us something. The beepap. He said, messy, Rejoice it over judgment. See, when you are dealing with God, if God does not show messy, you will notice that our best is still not good enough. That's why when God is interacting with you, why is commending you for your consecration the reason you are actually approved beyond that consecretion. This this messy because all of us, one way or the order, we fail. I'm telling you the best of us, keep feeling the best of us. This is not to motivate us to to say, oh, thank God. If the best of us fail, that means it's okay. That's not what I'm teaching you. I'm just telling you that as you are in this body, as you are in this body, perfection is possible, but before you attain it, you're a film. Many times that should have disqualified you. The reason you continued even before you are right by that perfection is because many junctions of judgment, Messi said no. If Messi didn't rise to say no, you would have been swallowed up before you even my chore into perfection. Now let me show you a scripture Jesus was teaching Matthew Chapter ten, verssetaty three. He said, whosoever shall. Deny me before men? He said, here also we like deny before my father, which is in heaven. You know what Jesus is saying, based on the principle of judgment. If you deny me, I will deny you. If you read check me, I will reject you. Now ask yourself who is the leader postle that Jesus commanded to lead the church. It was the one whould deny Jesus, not ones, not what twice, but three times. That is the same passing that Jesus came and said you will lead the church. Now is how did Peter qualify? Was there consecration? What was his credentia? His credential was violation. Now does God and does it know, but messy excused judgment and give Peter allow once to grow. In fact, in Mark sixteen seven, when Jesus told the apostles to meet him in Jerusalem, he knew that Peter knew the consequence of what he did. And Peter would show up because Peter was there when Jesus was speaking. If you deny me before men, I will deny you too. So when Jesus said, tell the disciples to go. To Jerusalem, he now said, and Peter, and Peter, and Peter, that Jewish man will disqualify himself. Hope you know that Judas killed himself. If Jesus goat that the disciples and Peter ahead that they have met Jesus in Jerusalem, the second suicide officer would have been Peter. So he said, God, tell my disciples and Peter, so that the person conveyed the message. You said, Peter, then Lord says, you tell you too. That's Messy prevailing over George ben based on the law of the realm. Pitter was no longer qualified. But they said, what and Peter, you think those of us preaching today we are perfect? Many times, even the personal consecrations God gave us many times with our letter. Then because we grew and we are still growing. There are certain things God told you that God said, don't say you went to the public in order to validate your ministry. That was the first thing you said. Meanwhile, what you don't know is that for saying that thing before the time, Devil should have killed you. But you know what God did. His assigned thy angels follow him for the next two years. And you don't know that that anger didn't come because you have rank. That anger came because you were foolish and Methy said no, because you said what you should do. Say Now sometimes your ministry, you now saw the angel. He now became a not that avenue for stupidity. You say, well, last month some sets of angels were andered to me because my apostolic ministry has now gone global. No, sir, nobody's talking about your apostolic ministry, your death. That they came to prison. That have you not said this before that your heart you just that you know you have ered. Ah, I shouldn't have said this, but you are in a place where you need to prove to them that there's a prophet here. You told them. Listen, when Jesus came to my room. Who told you. They did? Jesus himself told me that in this season he's going to do this. He's going to who told you. You were just brought into the counsel of God. You were exposed to the counsel of the almighty because God wanted to known by you. You have disqualified yourself. But when God looked at you, instead of judgment, he chose messy. Now because of what you have said, you have revened to demons and a gender that should have been secret. Now demons will start haunting everybody. In fact, sometimes we go as far as say in the consecration in this season, God is saying, if you're not fasting, if you're not pray, you will not be part of those some music you don't know. That's a spirit to a strategy. It's not supposed to believed. Now the devil we mobilized demo. Anybody who is first thing has study. They started them tempting them, and many with fought because of you. For God told you, because of what he wanted to do with you, because you have alltered it, you have got exposed yourself and exposed those God is raising by judgment. You should be cut off. Not even God devils, but God deploys angels and said, God, that's my little one. He has not grown in wisdom. God him for the next two years. Stay with him. You now went into another layer of foolishness, and you now said they have added a jails to this colleague, this ministry have new commissioners. Our rankavin increase because you say that I think that song, think that song. You're in the villy help me, help me go ahea. Lord, im my bu show me. She didn't get out. She nag about thank you, thank you for. I'm the many Lord, I'm a man. You show me man. She not come out. She hang, thank you, thank. You for your bed. I'm a bad. You show me. She nambag, thank you for you. Messhy pretty fairs of my churchmen, I said, passing up principle. I am very strict with myself, and I'm strict with the people. I decided because I know I'm raising leaders. And Peter said our judgment to be more severe, and the Bible said, charge yourself. So you are not George. So I'm very strict with myself. Those of you who listened to me, you know, very strict with those who follow me. But why we are yet doing that where we never on the mind the place of messy because we missed the mark too many times. There was a tank. God moved me to sow a seed, and it told me what the seed was meant for. It wasn't the news. I went somewhere and to prove to that the level of. Death that we have for God, how nothing matters. To us anymore. I stood and I ordered it. I lost my face. I knew that based on the ordinance, I will either be George or I have missed that season. But God should messy. The thing even happens faster than expected, even me. I stood and I knew that listen, if God will count iniquity, no one w stand. I'm telling you. If you don't understand messy, set time we kill you with accusations. There is grace for you to live, for God to be consecrated to God. But in case you err, the Bible said, the righteous fall less several times, several times they rise again. Don't allow you to bury you. Some people have not been able to do anything for God in ten years because the devil kept telling them that thing you did you violated God. You know, that's why this ministry will never walk again. That's why they are down and devon turn it to a doctrine. Some'm not excelled in business for fifteen years. The devil has taken advantage. Because they don't know. Deploy grace to live for God, in purity, in holiness and righteousness. But in case your heir don't die, there asks for messy. Messy prevails over judgment. The devil will want to use kill to kid you, and you will think you are dying for God, and you even call it a penance. But what you don't know is that the devil is whispering life to you. God wants you to go forward. Don't stop where you are. Read the Bible. Go and look at the story of David. When David took the wife of one of his generals, committed a daughter with her, he should be killed according to the law of his days. But what happened. He repented, meaning he turned from that lifestyle and he. Asks for messy some fifty one. Read verse one and twelve. See the prayer of mercy of David. Have mercy upon me, Oh God, accord him to thy loving kindness. According to the multitude of thy tender messy, blot out my transgression verse twelve. Restore onto me the choice of my salvation. David understood messy. Then second somewhere twelve Ver's thirteen, the prophet came to him and say, what he would you? I have seen against the Lord. And Nathan said on to David, the Lord had put it with thy, saying thou shalt not die. That means David should have died. The judgment was dead, but they said dou shall not die. And it's not only once David was in this situation. If only the judgment of God was to function with us, believe me, none of us qualified. The Holy Spirit, the World of God, the grace of God all come to empower us to live holy. But trust me, we are all on the journey to perfection. We emphasize consecration with all our hearts because it's unreasonable, it's rebellious, it's satannic to make a practice of saying. But while we are pressing through grace onto perfection, messy is ever present. Because if messy is withdrawn, we can attain Good's standard. As you journey through life, you will need this because there are many times the devil we come, the accuser of the brethren. He wants you to give up and withdraw from the race because of one error you committed. Any time certain comes, tell him God is still working on me by the strength of his grace. Any way I fall, I repent, I won't do it again. But I know God we not hold it against me, so that you can keep going forward. There is is some of you slowed down in Destiny fifteen years ago. Is because you didn't know that messive prevails over judgment. You have carried the gute for ten years. You have carried the gute for fifteen years, and the devil kept serviceing it. Meanwhile, what he has succeeded in doing is to cut you off for the nation. In the name of Jesus, any order of judgment that the devil has used to stop you, I speak the Messy of God over you now, Number two, please sit down. Messy does not only actorne for judgment. Messy also saves. So when a man falls, repents, turn from that evil and God a that's judgment. God doesn't live in there. Messy we reach out to take him from that situation. So Messy says, this is why we cannot do without mercy. In fact, in the doctrine of salvation, they crown the foundation of the. Whole subject is the mercy of God. Efficients too vers four. Look at what was said God, He said, But God, who is rich in messy for his love, for the great love we have loved us. So if there was no messy, love would have been important. So every time the salvation Massy spoke. That's why there's five. He said. We are saved through grace. So it was messy allowing love to function, and love allowing grace to find expression. That's what brought us salvation. So when messy is at work, God will not have that judgment. So you remain there. Oh, I fell into funication. God showed messy. He didn't destroy me. Judgment was averted. But God won't just have that judgment for you to continue in funication. Chris will be released through messy to bring you out of it. So messy saves God doesn't just have fat. It takes you out of it, so that subsequent judgment will not stick on when we started messy. We must understand that within the silla poosh of messy is salvation and deliverance. That's why any time you are in a pit or in a situation where you cannot help yourself, you cry for Messy. Messy is an instrumental salvation. And the way Messy walks is that because Messy has the power to have that judgment, Because Messy is a covenant dimension of love, there is no situation you find yourself that Messy cannot reach you. That's why Messy is the bed rock for salvation. He has the power to have that judgment, he has the power to provoke covenant love, and he has deep compassion to reach out to you where you are so wed. The context of messy is the possibility of salvation. Look at Paul first chapter one verst. That is Paul was telling us how he got saved and was brought into the ministry. No body preached to Paul, and you could not even preach to Paul. He was a religious devout. Paul would have perished and gone to her bomb. Messy insisted on Paul. So Paul told us, I understand this Messy well, because the reason I'm part of the common worth of Israel today is because Messy saved me. He said me, I don't know about others I was a blasphemer. I was a persecutor. I was an injurious man, he said, But I obtained messy. I obtained messy because I did what I did in Nichlorence. I was a prosecutor. I was an injurros man. I was a blast femer. Hope you know this are some of the greatest scenes blasphemy. Bos said, what even in the pit of blasphemy, Messy could reach out and bring me out. I was a blast femer. I was a persecutor. I was an injurros man, he said. Bob Messy found me. And you can read the story in Acts of the Apostles, chapter nine. The guy was on a journey of destroying the church. He wasn't in the room praying and fasting. He was actively in the job, on his way at nine four to six, light strack from heaven. So so why persecutors down me? Say? Who are you Lord? I thought him the question of salvation. Somebody has to be pretty about Jesus's Lord, and you must believe. And acknowledge him. Who are you? I don't even know you, Jesus said, rise of going to the city, you'll be told what to do why Saul was waiting. Jesus went to a nanaias and told a Nanaias, go and tell him about me. The guy was on his own in rebellion. Jesus encounters him, telling him to stay somewhere. Jesus got to carry an evangelist who was refusing to pray to him, and I said, why should we pretty to this man. This is the same person persecuted the child. Jesus said, don't worry. At nine fifteen, he will suffer for my namesake. You go on pray to him first. And Anon i Aske stood up in obedience to Christ and went. As he was yes talking to Paul, the scale fell off his eyes. Paul rose up immediately, and Paul began to plead from Damascus. From Damascus, they started making impact. Messy is a precause of salvation. Listen, I don't know what you are going through. I know you have fasted, you have tried consecration, you have tried everything. You know you have exercise your faith. It's not working. There is something that can save a blasphemer. There's something that can save you from the worst situation. It's the messy of God. He reached Paul in the state of blasphemy. Where are you that Messy can pick you up? That's why I told you ask Those are officers among us said, you don't use every webponon for everything. There are issues where you use shotguns. There are issues where you use rifles. There are issues where you use grenades. There are issues where you use missiles. It's not every issue you use the same thing some of you. All you know is Man of God, Pray for me. Man of God, pray for me. You are a queue for six months. Man of God has not had time for you. Don't wait until they come for your barrier. There are all the weapons in the kid the two said has weapons. This is one of it. Messy says. It can save you from sin, It can save you from death, It can save you from poverty. It can save you from the afflictions of life. It can save you from any situation. Just know how to access it. See when I started Messy right, Messy gives me so much confidence and audacity. I don't believe there's any situation. I will find myself and that will come out. I don't know what that it is. I don't I can't imagine any situation I'm telling you the truth. This is my consciousness. I don't know any situation that I will fall into today that I won't come out. Because I've found a key. The messy can save anybody from any situation. I'm not begging for difficult situations, but if I find myself in any one, I know the homes of the other, and we entera messy. On this salvation we come. You can be saved from kidnappers by messy. You can be saved from sin by messy. You can be saved from can God by messy. You can be saved from sickness by messy. Read your Bible. Look at Latimio's He didn't know any other thing, but he knew messy. Ask them forty seven thousands of David have messy on me, Thou son of David, have messy on me. He doesn't know demonology to cast out it, doesn't know the principle of. Faith to know what to do. All he was shouting was messy, messy, messy. Jesus had no choice but to stop and to answer him. Your business is fairly, relationship is fairly, marriage is fairly, ministry is fairly. Why not try messy? You will see the excellence. You're messy. You will not only save you, but they pass their speed. They are lacrity with witch. Messy will save you. You will be shocked. Number three, Messy does not only a vab judgment. Messy does not only say it. Messy also brings restoration. I quote it already for you some fifty one. That's one and twelve. When David seemed he lost the joy of salvation, he knew this one is not fasting that will bring it. He knew this one is not declarations that would bring it. It's not prophetic world. He knew there was one thing that could provoke any form of restoration. He said, Lord, verse one, begin. From verse one. See the prayer he prayed, have messy upon me, Oh God, according to your loving kindness, that word is the messy. Have messy upon me, according to your messy, according onto the multitude of your tender messy, blot out my transgression. The guy knew something new. He knew something. He knew something. Verse twelve. He now presented the repetition, restore onto me the joy of my salvation. Uphold me with that spirit. Now what he dided was the joy of salvation The question is what do you need restored? But in Mios need that restoration of sight. Some of Devid have messy on me. Jesus came, what do you want me to do for you? He said that I might see again? And Jesus said, receive your eyesight. Devid needed joy of salvation, but in Myos need that eyesight. What do you need the currency to buy? It is messy. Some of you need a relationship restored. Your helpers have disappeared, and some of them disappeared because you acted foolishly. The day he decided to respond to your message, that was the day you began with apology. Please, so don't be offended. There's this need I have. I wanted to you were charging somebody for six months. The first day he responded, that was the day you began with a demand. And as okay, this is a foolish man, he will put your block permanently. That that's the same person that should have sponsored that your program. That's the person that should have sponsored that project. You were planning for that project, but you didn't have the fortitude for patients to build trust and relationship. You sabotaged it. There's nothing anybody with that man again for him to take you serials, except if messy shows up, except if message shows up. Some of you they give you somebody's number. I see them sometimes I'm so irritated. Forgive me. I'm not Jesus Christ, but I don't respond to. Most of them. Somebody sent me more than twenty four messages. He didn't even have the sense to introduce himself. Oh, this is me, this is where I'm from. Please, Man of God, please help me. The next thing I saw, I can't number. He didn't even have the patience to wait for me to read the message. At the time I was opening the message, they were over fifteen. Man of God, please help me. I can't number. Man of God, you have to help me. I can't number. I just said, Oh, the glory of a fool is a shame. Scriptures, there is a brave vest for everything they food. It's a shame. I don't know you from Ada. You have not introduced yourself. I don't know if you are robot. I don't know if you are a spy. I don't know if you are is comma. I don't know if you are trying to set me up. You don't have the they don't have the courtsey to introduce themselves. You have not even waited for me to reply some which at to you, good man in apostle. I believe you are doing well. Wow, I'm happy what God is doing with you. Man of God. Please, so please just look send something to me now I need money. If I show you my messages, you'll be shocked. I'm telling you. There's one who. Yeah, he had a challenge with a I think they. Gave him an agricultural land or something, and they squandered the money the income that came, he used it. According to him, he used it for something, thinking we get money quickly. But now they had putting pressure on him and their battle embarrassing. Please, he knows that I have the heart of God. I should help him. Where too. I'm not responded. He came back the next day. This thing I'm telling you, Man of God, please this urgent. Don't neglect me at this time. You'll say you're a man of God. I said, that's why you are where you are. That's why you are where you are. Before I knew what was happening, he traveled from wherever and came here. And besieged me in front here. And I say, okay, since you're here, let's understand how much are we talking about? Guess what? Fifteen million? Because I am sent I'm selling good here. Thinks this is diamond business. So we put hand into a container and remove fifty million and said take Meanwhile, this Mersade has not spoken with me for the past seven years. He just met me somewhere before we I was teaching some people and they joined the class, and that was how we knew he came. Seven years later he sent the message I have not replied. He began to put pressure and try to blackmail me that I say, I'm a man of God. He travels here beside me, and they expect that because I hit money here. And we just throw hands somewhere and bring fifty million and give him. I said, how did you How for how long were you handling this project? He said, for it's for like fourteen months. So in fourteen months you spent fifty million. No, what you need now is first of all you, I said, even me, who is here. I don't squander fifty million in fourteen months, no project, no investment, no account. He could account for one million the money left, He said, do you use it? For something. What is this something? Till today he has not mentioned. The Bible. Said, yeah, your yoke. While you are young, some lessons needs to be learned. Early fifteen million. Do you know how many young people I have here who have businesses that I need to support A five million, ten million to do something? It is libel and we carry fifteen million and give you because you squander day fourteen months for something. As I'm talking to you, inst sending me safety today. The last one he sent he said, remember the last time when we met him, accordy, remember you told me if I have a need that you meet you, you will help me. I now ask myself. Only God knows the kind of prayer people are sending to him from it. You don't know what we see here. Meanwhile, we help people on daily basis. Those who live around me. Well tell you there is hardly a day that I don't give somebody money. I'm telling you, ask those around me. But I tell you we see fool. Listeners in propensities unimaginable. But it's that look at me. I'm wondering what a world Welcome to it. This is the cosmos. This is where we leave. But God is what rich in messy. I am. I am learning messy. I'm not rich in messy. I'm learning Praise God. I'm learning messy. Glory to God. But the point is what when you cry for messy, God will answer. That's why he alone is God. Let's honor God for one minute, say down for a moment. Messy restores. See, most of you have lost things. Instead of contending for restoration, you think by not being your mind and moving forward, you'll move. There are certain things that if you lose, your destiny will be affected. You must be able to determine, to know the things that you must get back. For some of us, it's time. For some of us, it's relationships. For some of us, they are giftings. For some of us, even resources. If you check your life and you have lost anything that your destiny's team needs, hold on to Messy. Messy can bring that team back missing. There are systems in God's help. One of it is restoration. The way God walks restoration is that he can cause your cycle to repeat it so. That the grace that made that import is available again. Ah. He will give you speed so that you will run into your next season. I had those schedule and then you ain't trying to the grace that produces it. But one way or the order, restoration is a most don't let things that your destiny need to go. And there you say, it's why we are moving on. There are things you can never move on while they are behind you. That's why God creates a system of restoration. And the quickst way to route restoration is through messy. Prophecy can bring restoration, but I tell you messy is the firstest way to bring any kind of restoration. Some of you listening to me now, you've lost seasons. Even you know that where you are now you are not supposed to be here. You see certain people doing certain things. You can't tell when God told you fifteen years ago to do those things and you missed. You know the some of you, you know the people that substituted you in God's agenda, your terrior. You are seeing them every day, you are seeing yourself. The thing is, don't envy them, don't give up. There is a system called restoration. If you cry for messy, your time can be restored, your cising can be restored, your relationship can be restored. And I stand on this truth to professy over someone, you receive your restoration now ah ah. Ah. If you are following my teaching, Messy can avert judgment. Messy can provoke salvation. Messy can gender restoration. If you are in a situation where thirty that's already been passed, you don't have any connection, you don't have any advantage. Don't give up. Cry for messy. Some of you on your job, some of you in your business, they are guys, have sat down and said, this one is a video. Don't happy began. It looks like all hope is lost. Don't give up. Some of you, you are in a pit. It's like you are finished. No body is coming to help you, even you know stee. Don't give up. Now, ask yourself who was coming for time? In the lions there, and even if somebody were to come, when we they come, this is the same lion that taught the other people. They threw in before they touched the ground. But messy can bring salvation. And some of you you have lost too much. You have lost your reputation, you have lost your your resources, you have lost your helpers. You have lost almost everything that has hope, that kids hope to a human being still, don't give up cry for messy. I'm telling you you see people dressed walking on the street. Some people are naked. Forget the suit they count they're wearing everything that brings advantage, dignity, and value. They've lost it. They are just walking like walking cops. They know. But even if you're in that state, the Bible said, there it's hope for a three that is cut off. They said, at the scent of water, it will sprout again. Messy adverst judgment. It's never too late with messy. Mercy saves are messy. Restores anything I have lost. I know there is something called restoration. That's the principle need to come back into my destiny. Even in science we understand that nothing is truly lost because match is neither created nor destroyed. It's only transformed from one form to another. God has the power to bring that thing back into my life. And I don't know what you have lost standing under disfunction, I decree restoration over your life. Sit down for a moment. I'm taking time to itemize this so you can apply them to your life, because I'm gonna show you soon how to provoke messy so that when you provoke it, you know where to apply it. You apply to remove judgment, you apply it to a gender salvation applied to provoke restoration. And then number four messy and gender's preservation. When you find people who have gone through hell yet standing, they are not always. It's not always that they are strong. The mistake you will make is that when you find people who have wed that too many storms standing, you say this is a strong man. Somebody called me, I think that was. See it. He said, I used to underrate you. They're proud people. You look at somebody a man of God like you, you say you used to undert him. Except but when I saw what you pass through four years ago, I say you are a strong man. I told him I'm not strong. I was helped. That's where I got that phrase from. If you see a man standing, it's because he's heped of God. Because the woman I know out have broken. There are things you go through that we overwhelm. You don't make the mistake of thinking the mighty you see never went two things overwhelm them. Some things, when you hear them, your world will pass before you. In a moment. You will know you are finished, even as you are moving. You don't know where you are going. Something is just carrying you forward. Until you now turn back, you'll discover the turbulence is behind you. You have passed. You will know how for a lifetime. Maybe out of pride, you may want to make some statement and say, well, I know, in deep inside your heart you know you didn't know how you came out. Because when messis at working the life of a man, one of the ways it shows is in preservation Lamentation three twenty two twenty three. He said it's for the lost messes that we are not consumed. He said this compassion failed not said they are new every morning, meaning even the strongest of us, if messy were not at work, would have been consumed. So when you see people who go through thick and thin, where does palms go through the fires and the flames? One of the things you can be sure so stain them is messy. Look at the life of Lord Exadus nineteen sixteen. You think Lord came out because it was an intercessor. No? Did he come out because he was righteous? No? The Bible said it was the messy of God that brought Lot out of that affliction. Genesis Chuck verse sixteen. For me. You know the story. Lord was not even aware judgment was coming. It was April prayed for him. Now see what the Bible said, why he lingered? Because even when the angel came the guy was lingering, the fire would have caught up with him. He said, why he lingered? The man laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of. His two daughters. The Lord being massive one to him, they brought him thought and set him without the city. That means outside the city he wund with Abraham's prayer. If not from messy Lot would have died because when they told him go quickly, he was delayed. The angels had to come back and operate outside the script they were given. They tracked the man and his family and threw them out of the city. They would have perished. So when you say people who are praserved, he's messy. Sometimes God wants to save you. You are too much in a rush. You are about to go out and enter an accident. In order for you not to enter that accident as you are going in, they we drag your clothes and tad you will quarry and quarry and quarrel. And go back, use ten minutes to change. That's why you are alive today. You may never know until you go to heaven. Your anxiety would have killed you. But as you were rushing, and Ny told you sometimes it's for an animal and talk. We come from nowhere and brush you and stay you, and then you have to change. That's why you are alive. And then there all the times you are almost entering the vehicle, somebody else who doesn't have messy out smartered you, and commy you now quarreed and quarreled and correct the person say I don't sit down here. I know they go anywhere. Your fought and fought and God and sure that you felt that fight. Thirty minutes later you are passing in another vehicle, that one that you were forced out of that you wanted to insist to enter to your death. You'll see the tires up. You will know that you are not alive because you are wise. He said. The race is not to the swift, The battery is not too strong. Is of the Lord. The word show wet messy. You are not winning because you are fast. You are not winning because you are strong. You are winning because God is merciful. Now, when you understand this, every day you now invoke Messy for preservation. For by strength shall no man prevail. The race is not to the swift. The battery is not too the strong, meaning you can have all human logic right and still not make it if not for Messy. Naturally, the swift test persition win the race. Naturally, the strongest personation win the battle. But there are times when the permutations go wrong. That's when you need Messy to speak for you. He said, Oh, the horse is prepared for the day of battle. Victory is the Lord's. Poor said in Acts. Twenty six twenty two, I continue to this day because the Lord helped me. May God help you never to think you are here today, because you are wise never to to to allow, if you enter your heart, to think you are at the level where you are. Because you are smart, if you are sincere with yourself, there are caveats you will never be able to explain. Only Messy can feel those voids. And as you journey from this service, those caveats will become many, because the voice of Messy over your life will increase. Messy preserves already quoted to you. Second Chronicles twenty twenty to twenty two. Josephat and his army were preserved by messy. The Lord is good, his message, endure it forever. That was how they want the battle. They didn't will by fighting. In fact, when they came out of the land of Egypt into the Promised Land, the Lord reminded them, you did not come out of that land into this land. By the strength of your arm It was not bow and arrow that brought you here. It was the hand of God. You are gonna play your part. But while you are playing your part, always remember what makes the difference is his own part, and his part is messy. Let these things form your consciousness, Let it saturate your thoughts. Finally, because of time, messy and Gender's divine help, he said in Hebrews for sixteen. Come boldly to the tone of grace and obtain mercy and find grace for help in times of need. When you find a man that God is messyful towards. The help of God is with that man. Beyond this ability, the finger of God is at work in his life. And I tell you those who have the help of God, they will tell you the difference is very clear because in this life you race with men and you race against spirits. You are not only dealing with men. But if you always have the help of God, it will be by the instrumentality of mercy. If mercy is not at work in your life, help will be far from you. Now, having seen the importan terms of messy, how do we procure messy? How do we procure messy? Because mercy may be present, but you may not experience it. It's first of all a sovereign operation of God. But because we are children of the Light God, that's giving us secrets on how to access it. In Romance nine fifteen, he said I will show messy to whom I will show messy. Now, those of us who are saved, who are born of God, who are justified, we are the people he show you messy. So you don't quote that scripture and said, well, God will show messy on who he will show messy. Maybe he didn't choose to show messy on me. No, when he saved you, he already showed you, showed you messy. So we are the people he's talking about that he showed messy to. Now that you are part of those that he said he will show messy to you must understand how to make messy a daily experience. He shouldn't be a once in a white thing. You don't need judgment adverted ones in the wild. You don't need restoration once in the wild. You don't need preservation once in the wild. You don't need salvage once in a while. You need it every day. And if you need it every day, it means you must have messy on a daily basis. Now, how do I access the mercy of God? Five ways quickly? Number one by putting your faith in Jesus Christ. If you trust anything other than God, you are on your own. He said, woe unto him that put that his trust in the arm of flesh. There are many people who are trusting God for messy, but they've made an idol out of man. They've made an idol out of things. This is why messy is available. They can experience it. Those who obtain messy are those who trust in the name of the Lord. Those who trust God, messy is a byproduct in their life. Look at what titles three five said. He said, we were not saved by the works of our righteousness, which we have done. He said, But according to his messys. He saved us by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit. We were saved by his messy. But how did we enter that messy? Romance tenth, verse nine and ten. If you believe in the Lord Jesus, you shall be saved. So those who believe in their heart and confess with their mouths, they are saved. So we got salvation by messy. But this salvation became active when we put our faith in Christ. So the first way to have mercy is to always trust God. You are going into a business. Thank God for the connections, Thank God for the savings, thank God for the investments, thank God for the intelligence, thank God for the experience. But don't go based on that. Put your trust in the Lord. You said, the horses are prepared for the day of battle means everything, dear mind. The principles are correct, the strategies are correct, he said, but victories the lords. This is why those of us who are children of God, we play our part. Humanly speaking, we study. In fact, we excel because we have the mind of Christ. We prepare, we ensure excellence because we have an excellent spirit. We are not novices. We are not naive about the business, about the assignment. But as we are going, we understand that God makes the difference, and so our trust we always be in the Lord, he say. Or dos trust in chariots and horses, he said, But we we trust in the name of. The Lord, our God. If you will enjoy messy on a daily basis, keep your trust in God in your career, in your business, in your ministry, in your every enterprise you fight yourself. Put your trust in God. And this should not be a religious cliche. This should be an active, functional operation in your heart, proven by your actions. Because you can't say you trust God and you don't have time for God. There are many people who when they were poor, they have time for God because they were trusting God to lift them. Now that they have been lifted, they have good meeting, they have investmented what do you call it dinner? All kinds of language come. They are no longer available, but they are saying, no, come on, I trust Jesus, I trust Jesus. It's my Lord and saviore No. This threat must be functional, it must be active. You're demonstrated through your availability, reasonable availability, because now sometimes we become so zealous that we're also putting programs that are reasonable. You are very go to go. Your heart is there, and you are part of God's agenda. That's when messy will become a guarantee your life. Number two, how do you occasion messy by coming to him for messy? You don't stand at a distance and you are saying, Lord, you know I trust you, Please don't forget me. No messy is obtained when you come. He said in Hebrews for sixteen. Come boldly before the throne of grace, so that you can obtend messy and find grace for help in time of need. Imagine the prodigers on Luke fifteen eleven to thirty two. Imagine if he was in the foreign land and sending letters, Daddy, have messy on me. You don't obtain messy like that. The guy came home, he came back to the Father. It was his return that occasion messy. This is why we say those who need messy most repent, because repentance is turning away and turning onto. If don't turn to him, you can't have mercy. Are you following? Come back? Don't be afar off and you're affecting you have mercy. Those who obtain messy and those who work in messy, they are They always commune with God. They always interact with God because as you engaged, it flows. Imagine it. But my own sat down and said, well, I had got this around me too. I will take my own. If it will be, it to be. It will never be. It's those who come. It's those who demand tend messy. Some of us messy is available, but we are not pleasing. Demand Lord, have messy on me in my meaning, have messy on me in my career. Sit there. At times when you will spend three days asking for messy, things are going haywire. Don't just thinking to work out fine, I know maybe youd No, don't take chances about destiny. Any area where you know you are exercising fat is not walking. All the connections you have are not walking. Shut down everything come to him and asking for messy. The woman with the issue of blood came to him, but Mas came to him, The prodigaza came to him. Don't be afar of and hope that messy we meet you there. You obtain messy when you ask for messy, when you come for messy. Number three, how do you obtain messy by sustaining the disposition of humility. Messy is not for the proud. Don't think I'm a child of God by default and we have messy. If that is the case, look to see what most of us are going through. Does that suggest to you that messy is obituary? Now there are precursors for walking and accessing messy. You may be a child of God. You are proud on your job. Anything that humbles you there bear it because you made ten million. Now nobody will be less again. Everybody smells when you are coming around, even in this anxious do they prosato even when they are preaching, you see it like this, I beg, I beg. Mean, it's only a first where I came here for. I just want to hear the word of God and go away. When somebody says, sister, hi, keep acting that movie. You have not asked those of our fathers so are hated. They will tell you some stories about life. The moment you wear your uniform, you are the commander general out of the whole ad. Because you're a police officer, you're an army officer. Nobody is a human being again. You work like this as if you are Godlia's uncle. One day they will carry you like this. They will carry you. You that there's only one soffering God one you are not him. Humble yourself now you have a gyp. Nobody will cough again, even when it's ready. People are standing by the roadside your splash water there gone by your own What are you doing there? Lest people? When this life humbles you, you will learn through suffering what you should have learned through revelation. The higher you go, the more they demand for humility. M hm. Otherwise the one who should show you messing will be the one who will resist you, he said in James for Sis, God. Resist at the proud, But they keep that more grace to the home. I've seen. I've seen some things where you meet great people. Usually is their protocol officers, that the greatness entered their head more than the great people. When you come, they look at you like a fly, as if you are flying the way they're looking at you want I've made human beins, have you not seen my? Specially when you greet them. They're like, if they want to talk, that means I have no choice but to talk. You now here. What then woven make a sentence? What that means? They are wondering how, what did where did the creature like you get access to this office? Sometimes that we leave you first, I'm going to start quarreling those at the gate. Do you now let every every creature, every everything come here? Now it's not the bottle, it's protocol. Then one month later they sacked him. He's not holding other. Pray, Lord, my enemies are failed. No, that's no enemy that has failed. You are reaping what you invested in with all your heart. The God that you lift you up begins to resist you. Now, if God is fighting you, who do you want? It's the heart? You obtain message based on the disposition of your heart. The brocon the sam. Is some fifty one vers one. After he prayed for messy verse seventeen. Is that a contrite heart and a broken spirit that old Lord cannot despise? He said, for the sacrifices of God, I contrite heart and a broken spirit. So he didn't just pray. He knew the posture and receives messin. Some of us are crying for messy, but we are proud, we are arrogan, we are full of ourselves, so even God can't help us. When God shows up, our pride to push him back. That's why. And I will show you one of the requirements for message that you show other's messy. So if you are too proud, you can't find mercy. So if you want to have mercy number one, what do you do have said in Jesus? Number two, what do you do repent or what I call completely turn from every other thing and turn to him. If you don't repent, you can't have message. If you don't come to him and leave every other you can't have mercy. Number three, you want to have messy, humble yourself and depend on him. Humble yourself. Mercy is for the humble. And I'm not talking this political humility where we just quote things and act in public to be seen and perceived in a certain way. I thought somebody. Most times we fight to keep reputation, but integrity is more important than reputation. Integrity is who you are. Reputation is what people perceive you to be. Instead of fighting for reputation, fight for integrity. If you have integrity, we have reputation, But you can have reputation and new integrity. So before you project something for people to perceive you in a certain way, become that thing. Number four, you want mercy, you must have messy on others to have messy. So it's not just humility, it's humility that is also demonstrated in compassion. Those who don't show messy don't have messy. Matthew five seven blessed have the mercyful. For they shall obtain mercy. And a person and a person. We just reach out to some of our people in the UK. He say, I'm coming to have a meeting there. This is the whole world to use. Can you help us win negotiations. When they told me, as they pay for the whole let them music, we will pay. And my pastor said the money bigal, I said, do you know how many nations may go to Why are you pay for one? Sometimes they pay for ten. What you don't give, don't expect it. You're wasting your time. They ran will fight you. Most of the meetings we do. People rise from nowhere. I'm paid. As you show messy. Message shown to you. God taught me personally. When God started blessing me, he started teaching Me's pretty to a secrets. I told you gratitude last Tuesday, Ah, when people bless me, thank you Jesus, Thank you Jesus. Time. The more I said it, the more I increased. And now when for that you too, bless others those who come to my office. Sometimes I'm the one who give them money, those who work here. I will tell you. Somebody come, he's exercise and failed. I said, no, all, this person needs nothing to take. We trust God will take this one first every day, not one, not two, not three. Ask them. They give me envelopes from here. Sometimes people sources before I live here. We despatch it towards as you are showing message. You are just becoming bigger and bigger and bigger, bigger and bigger and bigger. Show compassion to people you have compassion, Show goodness to people. You have goodness, Show message to people you have messy. Give resources to people who have resources. It's a law. That's why the Bible says is more blessed to give than to receive. The problem of the guy who never has or never becomes is that he's waiting to only receive. When you see him happy, he has connected something. If he has to give something, it's like cutting is flesh it paints him so much. That's why they remain small. Some of you can forgive. You live in a world of retribution. If they do anything against you, the person must pay back. That's why there are or that fifty people who are saying you do they must pay you back because you activated the system and an atmosphere around your own life. Even James two thirty before I say messy prefays over judgment. They say you should show messy to orders first. James to thirty, show us the scripture for he shall have judgment without messy. That had showed no messy. That means anybody who doesn't show messy to orders when God then getges that person, God don't show him messy. It's only judgment. See so you don't show messy, get ready for judgment. Messy is only for those who show mercy. As important as messy is, as available as messy is, many may never experience it. That's why anything that attack people attack them. They are never return from judgment. What hits others hits them. They are never saved from any danger. You are wondering why is your own Christianity? Why are you not different from others? Because you are not engaging the principles of the kingdom. See, it's not everything that begins with annointing, know or gifts. There are times when we come to minister, we're flowing the annoyanty, we're flowing the gifts of the spirit. We make prophetic declaration. There is also a realm of principles because God wants you to grow and to become. That's why we teach you many principles there so that in the practicality of it, you access spiritual things that have existential implication. And it's in that partway that you are transformed. This is why principle is more important than the oppression of giftings and annoying. If I'm only ministrying to you by the anointing and by gifting, you may never be transformed. So there are times when God teaches you his ordinances and his ways so that in practicing them, beyond the blessings, you become. And one of the major things you must learning your life is how to engage and to deploy mercy. Finally, how do you access and work in mercy is by living a life of reference towards God. Look one fifty is that it's messy, is on them that fear him from generation to generation. If you don't fear God, you have excused yourself from the provisions of mersy. These things will not change from generation to generation. They said, it's messy upon them the fear. You'll see why this generation strange things are happening to young people is lack of the fear of God. Our mothers and our fathers here they will be shocked because most of the things happening to us, they didn't know about it in their time, because they had ethical values, moral values that culminated in the fear of God in their days. They did. They hear young people having strange diseases today you hear somebody's twenty one high people, how we get ourselves involved in things because we don't have the fear of God. That guys on Instagram. Only God knows what he's doing there, involved themselves in their public practices, in moral practices, and so they put pressure show on their souls and the devil and has to perfect them. Strange things happening to young people. You see young people just being caught off. This wes strange things in the earth in the days of the fathers. My head, my head he's gone, Like you are wanting why. What's going on is judgment. The generation is facing judgment because of the wicked ways that we have adopted. You can imagine the level of godlessness that is in this world today. You think social media is about studying, educating yourself, pudding out there to bless with you. You have no idea some of these young boys and young girls you are seeing, who are fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, what they are doing on TikTok, you can't believe it. I walked into a young boy the other day and he was watching a life group meeting where they were talking about immoraltis, showing body past and talking and it's like they were having digital in Tacos. I couldn't even imagine it. That's why you see there they have five fast walls on one phone, from batime to code to finger bridge because what they did they know, they know it's a sacrilege. For another eye to see it. But that's the barising, the diabolism, the concupiscence of evil that's eating into the source of young people. Godlessness. Remove your bag, put somewhere and just blink. They've stolen your money to buy data or to go and buy marriage. Juanna, some what is eighteen? He's nineteen? Every week he smokes three times. When did you get exposed? I saw one recently, the arrested a twenty year old gear, a young man. God has them. They are four of them, and it sets them. They are assassins. The way he turns, you will see hamlets kills coming. And the guy says she has killed four people. You don't know how godless this generation is. They are exposed to things beyond their maturity. And when I say maturity, I'm not saying I'm not talking age. Ethical values, moreral values. Spiritual values have not yet been formed before exposure. Before now, the Bible called something the dark places of the earth. But now even in the Bible you said, the whole earth is covered with that prison. That's why the things that messy procures you can't hear of them anymore. Intervention, preservation, salvation, exoneration from tom they become scarce. The fear of God is normal. Anybody can do anything, and conscious is dead. We can't even begin to talk the one that happened in George from inappropriate behavior with the opposite self, from the author to debut to miss appropriation of kingdom. You are wondering to the merchandise. Of the gospel. It must not takes money that people give out of faith and years, and it goes on holiday. He says tired, he wants to go and rest, but they not be would and he spends twenty million on two days or three days holiday. Somebody is going to preach the same gossip that their persons were killed for. He said for me to come, it's thirty thousand dollars, and they say it's an apostle. And if you don't give him hereway now come into agreement with whatever invited him. Bring fifty thousand, Bring thirty thousand, bring twenty thousand, bring that. Unless God refuse that, I won't move today. If anything happened, then will force money out of people and go and share it. And ministry is doing well. That's why you should be careful what you're envy, because some of the things are envy. Is a ticket to her. Somebody said he's a music minister, come to print, is a do sing it's a twenty five million those thing for twenty minutes. Meanwhile, this song no deliverance apples. We can't record any notable encounter. It just has a voice and popularity. The same gospel that poor said, I preat the gospel free of charge. The same gospel that poor said, necessities laid up on me, war onto me if I preat not the gospel, same gospel that they were in prising for they were killed for. God has blessed us. Now we fly to go preach. And that's got a nod for you your charge. I'm not saying you shouldn't be honored. But if you have honored, your honor will command what will come to you. And if you are a sincere man of God, there are places you go to instead of taking. God we command you to give. And there are places you go to God we command you don't take. But we are in generations that don't fear God. Today people are looking for platform. You think they want to win. Thus you think they want to preach Christ a lie. They are looking for where to ventilate their ego. So that you know that, and a person has gone, and evangelist, a prophet has gone. The momented prophet size once one month later, when you're here, how many people here swindled? So the platform he was looking for it's for credibility and authorization to swindle people. So it's happening among the young people, it's happening in the house of God, and then it's happening amongst those sent. To represent God. We keep saying we need Christians in society, we need Christians in government, we need Christians in the marketplace, and they're not there. There are many nations in the world that are Christian nations, but they say evil there. It's not about Christians being there, it's about Kingdom and Bassador's been there. Are their disciples? Do they know that where they are is a platform for representing Jesus Going to even this particular government, say how many people bear Christian names in positions. Of authority, yet all kinds of evil happening. The reason about generation is not seeing certain measures of God's messy is because the fear of God is normal. The mercy of God is potent and not to change your story. He can say, he can preserve, he can have that judgment, he can deliver, he can promote you. Oh, I wish I had time to speak about promotion by messy, But the question is do you have what it takes to book it? If you show message to others, you will find messy. If you are humble, you will find mercy. If you're trust in the Lord, you will find mercy. If you are referentd onto God, you will find mercy. So we are where we are because of who we are and what we do. Don't blame the outcome of your life on anybody. Many may have hurt you, but they don't have the authority to ground you. If you are grounded in life, you choose to either by your actions or your inners. But tonight message is available. God wants to redefine your life, and that's why has asked me to show you they have valuability and the potentious of mercy, so that you can stretch for your hand and make demand some of us. All we need to begin to see messy is to humble ourselves. We are already at day at the prince of promotion, but our pride has gone ahead of us, and he said, pride, go ahead before it fall some of us. All we need to obtain messy now is to show messy to others and some it's not even any disturn persy that that was geared that nanny in your house, that you are tormenting and oppressing. That's the person that holds. The key to your promotion. Because he said, nanny, you can slap, you can't hate with anything, but you can't do it to your own children. And you say you are Christy and you are thinking God will promote you your office. Have messy on me. You are too weacked to find messy. Some of us is the colleagues or the people working on the horse. We don't know messy. We don't believe in messy because if you did, you would show it like it when it becomes sober. I want you to look into your heart. What is the area you have defected that has made it impossible for messy to reach you? Because you know you need messy now now. Some of us we need messy now now. Now we are going through something that if messy doesn't show up in one week, judgment will be passed. We may never recover. Some of us we need messy now because that send the air restoration we need to enter the next season. Some of us we need messy now because there's a preservation. There is evil all around us. We need to be kept. But what do you need to engage for that? Messy to come, and we have mercy on whom I will have messy. You are the people who said that we have messy on That's why you were numbered in salvation. But can you provoke the different dimensions of mercy? Do you need to show messy to someone? Do you need to humble yourself? Do you need to fear God? Some of the things you do in the dark, knowing fully well that God is seeing you. Are you able to put it aside today so that messy can come on your life? Help us long a messy? Finally, m m hmmmmmm, let me not truncate this moment. If you are listening and you know there's something you have failed to do, which is the reason why you have not been enjoying messy as your art stand up, let's pray. M m m m. All. The way is the way. Choose a way. Away. It's the way you imagine you got to a level in your life where you know that come what may you be preserved. Just imagine. And this is not you just being a religious man, you know, because it's true. Imagine you got to a point in your life where you just understand that everything you've lost to be restored. Imagine you got to a point in your life where you know that no judgment passed against you was stand better in the shrine or in the low God God will exonor ready, this is the life God That's brought us into. These are the possibilities that we should enjoy storm sort by messy. But the choice is ours to make, because messy is available for the taking. In one minute, place your right hand on your chest and ask him sincerely to show you messy. Ask him sincerely, show me messy, show me mercy, Show. Me messy, loor, show me mercy. Lo show me mercy. Oh, my God, the way of mercy. Is it possible that that's sickness has remained because messy has not yet been true? Honey, agents to hemn. I'm pledge aliunts to. The land weed the my strength. We I to common. Early agence. Father, you say we should come boldly before the turne of graves and obtained mercy. Tonight we have come making demand on your mercy, the ass that you look upon us with graciousness. Release your mercy upon your people, those who are suffering from vedicts and judgments against their destinies. Let it be averted. Those who I need of preservation, let preservation be theirs. Those who I need of restoration, Let restoration be released. Those who I need of salvation from diverse infamilies, diverse oppressions, Let salvation be granted in the name of the Lord Jesus. Those who require promotion, let promotion be given. Every area we are messy is needed for us to step to the next level. Fact that we place demand and now, and we asked that messy be released. And let your name alone be glorified in Jesus' mighty name, we have prayed. Go ahead and give the Lord the big hand.
