Allelujah, praise the name of the Lord. Good morning, and everybody, let me salute and command our diligence and a commitment towards spiritual things. One of the indies that measure genuine hunger is your passion and your drive, your ability to inconvenience yourself. He says, who for. The joy that was set before him and deared the shame, despise. The pain, and so on and so forth. So I want to commend everyone who has been able to make this sacrifice to be here this early. The Lord will do us good in Jesus' name. Bishop is an honor. Again, thank you so much. I do not take this likely. Father, speak to our. Hearts yet again, the Bible says. They go from strength to strength as many as appear before the Lord in Zion. We thank you because your world will come with power and with grace. For in Jesus' muchless name we have prayed. Please be seeded, God bless you. Yesterday night we began a discussion from John chapter three, the encounter that Nicodemus the Phariseea had with Jesus. We were able to delve into his contemplation and his frustrations when he saw Jesus manifesting such an invincible life, a life of victory, invincibility, and power. It got Nicodemos so concerned he had to come and meet him by night and to ask what the basis for this kind of invincible life was. And Jesus. Traced that discussion and took it to the issue of birth, and from there we established the fact that the Bible recognizes two kinds of births. Number one, we said, is a natural biological birth that comes by your natural descent through the womb of a woman. But we said the other, which is considered. More superior as far as your. Spiritual adventure is concerned, is to be born again, to be born of the spirit, to be born of God, allelujah. We looked at a. Few differences, and one of the most striking differences, if you recall, we said that the natural birth does not depend. On your will. You have no power of choice. But then when it has to do with being born again, being born of God, being born of the Spirit, you are the sole determinant as to whether that experience will happen to you or not. We explore a. Few other things yesterday, and we thank God for his spirit. We thank God for his power. We had a brief discussion with Bishop after this place, and I was expressing to him, you know, joyfully so how that this conference has become like a spiritual retreat for the people within this region, beyond denominations, beyond prejudices of tribe, clan, race. It's been an avenue for people to just come and be built. To be established. And I think we should truly salute His Lordship for. Making this kind of apostolic platform available. Allelujah. Praised the name of the Lord. Among the many things that happen in conferences like this, it's an upgrade of spiritual understanding. One of the things that most happen to. Every believer is that there is there must be a greater sense of enlightenment, not just the fulfillment of the days of a program, but we must justify our stay and as sacrifices by coming up. With superior light. Allelujah. The Bible says that was the true light that lighted every man. So when it has to do with the ministry of light, everyone is qualified to partake of it. The light lights upon every man, Allelujah. This morning, I want to have a brief session with us, and just continuing from where we left off yesterday. Allelujah. We read two scriptures and then I begin to teach. Number one is John seventeen, three John seventeen and verse three Jesus is praying. Now. The Bible says in verse one that he lifted up his eyes to heaven. And then he began to pray. And when he gets to verse three, the street just give us the stream, he says, and this is eternal life. This is eternal life. Jesus by himself describes for us in this verse the full import the meaning of a man having and accessing eternal life. He says, this is eternal life. That they may not be the only true God. And Jesus Christ, whom thou hast said that in a man's journey, as far as the administration of internal life is concerned, if this reality is not captured in your Christian experience, it will not look in your life as though you're a recipient of eternal life. This is eternal life. And now he does not even talk about receiving. He talks about. Knowing that they may know the the only true God. And Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent away together Scripture number two Philippians three and the ten. Philippians three and the ten. This scripture was written. By Apostle Paul. And the interesting thing is that Paul's journey to knowing God was more dramatic than many of the apostles because his journey's tacted with an encounter with Jesus. It's not like he was preached to by someone else and then eventually he met Jesus. His encounter with Jesus was what even introduced him to the experience of the life of God. But in spite of that, here's what he had to say, that I may know him now. If you read in the Bible generally as though you are reading a novel, you may not really understand the full import You need to understand the man who is speaking here. At the time Paul is writing this, he had actended his apostolic ministry commendably. This was a man who had seen the hand of God. He was accustomed to vision, supernatural experiences. He's seen all kinds of manifestation. He was actively in the business of mentoring all the churches that were under his apostolic rich and he was doing so with such dexterity and excellence, you would not expect such a man to be praying to know him. Probably his prayer would have been grace to finish strong. That's the kind of prayer you think such a man would have. And here he honor shamedly makes a prayer request known. There are times that he would. Say, brethren, pray for us and leave you to choose whatever you want to pray for him about. But here is a great apostle of the Lord, Jesus Christ put into the table a prayer request that represented his highest desire that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, he said, and the fellowship of his sufferings being made conformable onto his death. Allelujah. So eternal life, like we know and we began to discuss yesterday through the new birth experience starts with receiving, but it is beyond the realm of receiving. Please listen that the journey to eternal life starts by receiving through the spirit the. Life of God. At the point where an individual acknowledges Jesus as Savior, as Lord and Christ. Based on the authority of. Scripture, we know that you are declared righteous, and upon that ground you are qualified. To access the Spirit of God. Into your spirit and all that happens through and by the ministry of the Holy Spirit. This is what the Bible teaches us. But that eternal life is an experience, But eternal life is also a journey allelujah. The experience of eternal life is that there is an. Instant translation from the kingdom of darkness. The Bible teaches into the kingdom of His dear son, that the moment is sinner, no matter how dark, no matter how alienated from God. At the point where you come. And acknowledge the lordship of Jesus Christ, believe in his substitutionary sacrifice, meaning his death is burial, his resurrection his ascension, and to believe that report. The Bible says, no matter how you feel, that eternal is imparted, imputed into your spirit, you are declared the righteousness of God. In Christ. You become joined to the Spirit of God. Do we believe that? But then that the experience of eternal life. Does not end there, that there is a progressive journey away together that. Brings you into the manifestation. This is the aspect that many believers do not know about eternal life. So we're not in doubt as to the fact that you have placed your faith in the Son of the Living God. It is a fact, according to the authority of Scripture, that whosoever believes in him shall be saved away. Together. Now, so we claim to be recipients of this life, and based on the authority of scripture, we know that is true. But manifesting the. Potentials of this eternal life has been far from many believers. And here Esus and Paul are giving us another angle to the manifestation of eternal life. The invincibility, the potency, the power that is encapsulated in that life is only released and manifested at the point of knowledge. This is eternal life. He says that they may know the even if they have received from you, it is not enough that. They may know the the only true God. And Jesus, whome dow has sent a we together now both of us say, for instance. Can be given a phone. Imagine with me that there are two people standing, one by my left, the other by my right, and all of them are given the gifts of a brand new phone, say an iPhone. Are together. Now it is the same phone that was given to both of them to get, and you were weaknesses at the point where they were given. This one received and said thank you, sir. This one received and said thank you sir. Fast forward a few weeks, you will find out that one person's life becomes efficient and excellent through. The use of the same phone. Am I right? And the other one would barely have improved as far as the quality of his life is concerned. Now, it is a fact that both of them are recipients of the phone. But to be able to maximize that phone such that it translates to efficiency no longer depends on receiving receiving has happened. It is their knowledge of the entire dynamics of the phone. For one person, that can be the reason why he becomes wealthy. For one person that can be the reason why he increases his. Network and contact. For another person, that phone will remain emboden in his hand for many months. So if you say all those who have iPhones stand up, both of them will stand up, But all who have been blessed and changed by eyePhone one will have to sit down. If someone following me now, so I'm saying that the experience listen carefully. If you understand what I'm teaching you, it to revolutionize your Christian experience. Because when you see two believers manifesting for one an exceptional life, a life of victory, grace, power, wisdom, and all the multi faceted dimensions of the kingdom, it is not that and not that kind of eternal. Life was given to one against the other. The Bible declares, and we know from the authority of scripture that the same Lord is rich onto all. It was the same blood of Jesus that purchased us. The same redemption happened to us away together. The same quality of life was given to us. But for most people, our journey into exploring eternal life stops at the initial reception by faith, and we do not explore the power that comes through knowledge. The manifestation of eternal life experientially happens at the instance of knowledge. Please say knowledge, everyone saying knowledge again, do not forget the example of the phones. I'm using a very simple example because I want us to understand. So, the greatest. Man of God you know on earth and the most ineffective believer on earth, even in Jalingo, are both recipients of the same life. It is by the same spirit, but the quality of their Christian experience. That disparity is not because God decided to isolate another person and give him another kind of life. They are all potentials that comes from one and the same life. Allelujah. The wealthiest man, the most blessed man on earth, is made of the same organs as the forests the most ineffective man, as far as their biological. Composition is concerned, away together. The difference between two of them is not the biological composition. No, we are greed yesterday that the difference between precedents of nations and those who live medio car defeated lives. It's not that one has two hearts, or two heads or two brains. Know, as far as the biological construct is concerned, if you dissect the most successful person from an astandpoint of anatomy, and you dissect someone who is almost dying somewhere on the road, you will find the exact biological constructing them. What then, is the difference. It is that one has moved beyond just receiving to accessing a certain. Kind of knowledge. Allelujah. So Jesus says this is eternal, that they may know thee. In other words, I am able to manifest these supernatural possibilities, not just because I came from heaven, but because I paid the price to know you. You see, Jesus spoke about the Father, and he spoke about his oneness with the Father in a way that disturbed the theology of the Scribes and the Pharisees. How do you dare claim that you know God, this invisible God, who had become a mystery to us, will only depend on what the prophets told us he is. Now you come and you try to bring a level of relationship that is very disturbing. At what point did you know him? No man had seen the Father every time you all said that. And now you are bringing him so near. You are bringing him so near and saying we can even know him, that that mysterious God. Can be known. As mysterious as God is, he desires to be known. And Jesus says, this is eternal life. Whoever passes beyond the gate of just receiving to exploring the knowledge of number one, the one True God, and then number two Jesus, whom he has sent, that there are two rewards that are left with such a person. Nearly eleven thirty two B says, whoever chooses to explore the spiritual pathway will be left with two rewards. Number one, capacity they shall be strong. Number two, they shall do exploits. Exploits is not just for Christians. The potential for exploits is for Christians, but. The experience of exploits is for the people that do know their God, not just the people who have received from their God. You can receive from Me and yet not know me. Receiving is a product of your ability to stretch forth your hand and the partnership of your hand being stretched, and then my benevolence I can give to you without desiring a relationship. Many of you. Here have helped people orphanergies and individuals you do not know their name. They do not know your name. They do not here. The only connecting point in terms of a conversation is thank you. They just say thank you, go away? Are we together now? And many people have shifted in that kind of mentality when they come into the faith life. They do not want to know God. All they want is to receive God. I hear that somewhere within your economy there. Is a possibility for accessing wisdom. Can you give it to me now? I think there is need for it now, And because the same Lord is rich, you will give benevolently, but greater than receiving things that there is an advantage that comes to the believer when you explore the knowledge of God beyond the knowledge of things that they may not be away together now, yes, so you can see two believers manifesting supernatural possibilities, and their possibilities are not just predicated. Listen, I want to make a statement, and I hope you understand what I'm saying. Do you know it is possible. To even be anointing conscious and it can turn. To become idolatry in your life because. Anointing itself is just a factor that emanates from the presence of God. Are we together now? Yes, it is possible to desire and anointing as an idol worshiper seeking something from a deity and not from the standpoint of an individual that desires a functional relationship. So most believers from a distance, they study those they perceived to be close to God and write out the various spiritual virtues and qualities they see at work in their life, and then in isolation to a desire to know God, they just begin to handpick these qualities and it forms the basis. Of your prayer life. I don't care about you, Oh God, but somehow I've found out that the power. To heal the secret sides from you without my knowing you. I don't hear the I send me the body of knowing You just transfer power directly to my life, and I am satisfied. Save me the burden of knowing you. I just want to prosper, and I hear that in your name a man can prosper. There are demons. I hear that there are yokes of darkness that plague me. And I have learned from scripture that the name of the Lord. Is a strong power. I don't need a relationship, but you just find a way of becoming a system of defense. You see, because you have chosen to explore that pathway, you will see that your growth and your stature will be lopsided. So if we watch you, we can see the deficiency of your relationship. It affects your confidence. There are many things you will be unshore of. You will make statements that you will go back and wonder if you are right or wrong because you are speaking about it stranger. Allelujah. If Bishop speaks about his dear wife, or the wife speaks about Bishop, there is a kind of. Confidence that they speak from away together. Their confidence can almost be mistaken as pride because of their longevity of state as a couple, they have explored one another with such precision and detail that they can speak. If I want to give Bishop a gift. And I don't have access to him, I can ask his wife with confidence and be sure he will be happy about what is receiving. That is the power of relationships. That there are men who can explore God and know God, that they literally become the manifestation of Him here upon the earth. When they speak is as though He's spoken. When they stretch their hands as though He stretched his hand, they have become It is, It is there. It is a level and a depth of relationship. And He has covenanted on account of that knowledge, to back them, to bless them. You see, most people who are recipients of tremendous power today. Power was not the basis of your exploring God. It was a sincere desire to know God. And they found out that the economy of God is so designed that as you explore Him, there are many things you will find following. You while you see him, power being one of them. Are well learning this morning, So let's talk for a few minutes as we prepared to prayer. Intend to be very brief, very very brief. This morning is really a charge. What I'm giving us this morning. I wrote here that the experience of eternal life for the believer depends on our knowing God. The experience, the manifestation of eternal life in and through the life of the believer does not just depend on receiving it the fact of receiving it. It depends on knowing God. Please listen, you want to work in grace and power. You want to live the. Victorious life in experience, like the Bible says. It will. Have to be on the basis of moving past the awareness that I received it to exploring a functional knowledge. And for the sake of our discussion this morning, there are three dimensions to knowing God. This is really. Where I want because there are many believers who want to know God. But like a compass, my assignment this morning is to be able. To provide a scriptural templates to exploring and knowing God. When an individual wants to know God, when an individual. Wants to seek God, what about God should he seek? What should be the being? How should you explore that first realm of knowing God. We're talking about a God here who is limitless in his person, in his operation. Are we together that even in heaven they are still learning him, and through the span of eternity will still be growing in the knowledge of God. And so I decided to break exploring the knowledge of God into three dimensions. Number one very quickly. The first dimension to knowing God is knowing his character. Please write it down, the first dimension to knowing God. For any believer who wants to see the reality of the life of God made manifesting experience, you will have to explore the knowledge of his character. Please say character one more time, say character. A man's character makes up the frame of his person. Are we together? Yes, you know me explicitly when you take out time to study my character, to study my person. A few scriptures please in Exodus chapter thirty three, reading from eighteen and nineteen. Thank you media for helping us with these scriptures. Exodus thirty three, eighteen and nineteen Moses made a very very audacious request. So he's encountering the God of the Hebrews, the God of the Bible. And Moses did not say, give me. Moses said, I beseech you. If I found grace and messying your side, show me your glory. And then the Lord replies in verse nineteen, and he said, I will make all my goodness. I will make all my goodness to pass before THEE. And I will proclaim the name of the Lord. Before THEE, and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, And I will show mess Say to whom I will show messy. Here is Moses asking for his glory. In other words, Lord, I want to know the various virtues that make God God. What is God composed of? And he said, you are asking for a description of my character. I will cause an aspect of my glory called my goodness to pass over you that just knowing my goodness alone, It was the knowledge of the goodness of God that resulted to the five books today that we call just an aspect of. The character of God that a man. Saw resulted to a tremendous revelation that he documented five books that came from the knowledge of the goodness of God. The psalm is encounter the messy of God. That was one of the richest dimensions of his encounter about God, and just that dimension of God. It brought about a chronicle of men many. Psalms, just one aspect of the glory of God, called his messy. The nation of Israel saw both the goodness and the messy of God, and just by exploring these two dimensions, they became a small but invincible nation that every time their armies encompass them and defeat was imminent, they dropped their weapons of war and invoke his character. You are good and your messies and yours forever. And at that consciousness, battles were turned around overnight without them having to use the sword. When a man wants to know God, you have to explore his character. So every dimension of God's character you know, there is a corresponding statchel the character of God, and there like ladders. So every manifestation of his character that is revealed to you, it strengthens you and gives you stature. There are certain years. That will die because of certain things you know about God. Are we still together? One more scripture theater Psalms one forty. Five, Please eight and nine Psalms one forty five. Our confidence in this kingdom is because of something we know about God. Here's what the psalm says. The Lord is gracious, everybody say gracious. It says the Lord is full. Of compassion, say compassion. The Lord is slow to anger and of great mercy. How did he know this? This is a man documenting his conclusion that haven't explored the character of God. This was his conclusion that this is what I found out about God. Number one, that he is gracious. Number two, that when it has to do with compassion, he operates in the abundance of it. And then number three that as angry as the prophets proposed God to be, in my work with God, I have discovered that he is slow to anger. That means it's not within his character to just want to destroy. That men, through the hardliness of your heart, push him and compel him to have to destroy, But that in his character he is full of compassion and he is slow to anger. That when you see God arise to act is the rebellion of men and. Their consistency of the violating him. But in the economy of God, He will always give men. A chance to experience his compassion a well together. There are certain shares that die when you know God. There are certain negative prophecies you don't need to pray about when you know the character of God. Listen to me. The threats that comes to your Christian experience is a report card. He tells us. The manifests of God you do not know and the devilment need to let your ignorance and literally builds a wick around your ignorance. The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, and rich in love. One of the most classic and the most detailed from a theological standpoint, One of the. Most detailed representation. Of the character of God was done by the Samis himself. You say, that man is a very serious man, that David man. You see, there is a reason why he's called a man after God's heart, not just a man that. Saw the power of God. He truly sought. He says, Oh Lord, you are my God. This is not in your Bible. It says early we lie seek you. My soul longs for you to see your power and your glory, even as I have seen in the sanctuary. As a result of his extreme God, look at his findings. Can we read this a little Psalms one or three. It is one of the most concise description of the character of God from a theological standpoint. Every time you want to study the character of God in as detailed a fashion as you desire, go to Psalms one hundred and three. Please joiny with me, and let's just read it very quickly. Are you ready? Bless the Lord, oh my soul, and all that is within me, Bless his holy name. Let's hurry your Verse two. Bless the Lord all my soul, and forget not all his. Benefits, who for given thy iniquities, who he led thy diseases. There are five benefits. That's number two, number three, who redeemed thy life from destruction. Number four, who. Crowned thee with loving kindness and tender mercies. The last of the benefits, who satisfied thy mouth with good things, so that thy you is renewed like the egos. Now let's continue verse six. Verse six. Now the Lord executed righteousness and judgment. For all that are oppressed. He's describing God. He made known his ways onto Moses who were coming there, and his acts to the children of Israel verse eight. Now the Bible says the Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. Verse nine. He will not always child, neither will he keep his anger forever. This is good news while you are working with God. He had not dealt with us after our sins. Nor rewarded us according to our iniquity verse eleven. Okay, for the heaven is high, as the heaven is higher above the earth. So great is his messy towards them that hear him verse twelve, as far as the east is from the west, so far that he removed our transgression from the patients. Vers that team like a father PTIs his children. Look at the artist tree and creativity that was deployed in describing God. Now he switches dimension from being a George to being a father, like the way the father has pity upon his children. So the Lord pitied them that hear him fourteen. For he knowed our frame I like the Psammis. This is why he deals with us so kindly. He knows our frame. He remembered that we are tost for as for man, his days are like grass as the flower of the field. So he do not know who God is, and you begin to read some one tree. Like an artist using a canvas. He uses words to begin to paint the picture of God that at the end of reading Sam one O three you should have an idea, like if I said orange your mind has. Your mind is not too much. Usually you will see him smiling all the time when you see that man. So the stranger is looking through the lens of the description of the character. Then he spots a man who sits the description you just gave, and he comes to say, sorry, are you James. He said yes, He say, finally I've found you. I was sent to. Look for you, but the description that was given to me was the most likely he will shake you. Most likely he will smile. He usually likes to wear a longer callier. He's describing the man based on the character, so that when you see the man who is not him, even if he talks like him, you will know it's not him because he will fetch from the lens of his character. Satan can appear as an angel of light, but he cannot carry the character of the Angel of light Aleen Lujah. Satan can talk like a preacher. Satan can act like God. He can come to you in dreams looking like God. But you still tie your revelations from the lens of God's character. This is eternal life that they may know you are we learning already? So we know God as we explore his character. I promise it's a charge this morning. So let's quickly go to number two. The second dimension to knowing God. As revealed in scripture is to know his ways, to know his ways Salm one hundred and three, where we just read verse seven, it says. He made known his ways to Moses and his acts to the children of God. So the second layer to knowing God when you explore his. Character is to know his ways. Allelujah. The ways of God are a compendium of his models operandi. His methodology is how he behaves, how he acts. Matthew, Chapter twenty two, verse twenty nine. Let's see what the Bible says twenty two, twenty nine, Matthew, allelujah. Let's read it together. Ready, one to read everyone. Jesus answered and said, unto them you do air, not knowing the scripture nor the power of God. The word air there means default, mistake, deviate, declines from the reference. Are we together? Now that your inaccuracy spiritual is because you do not know the scripture, not just because you do not have it. You do not know the scripture when. You read down, he says, the Scripture testifies of me. That means the study of the Scripture should should move beyond being a story to become a road map. Everything in the Scripture is as leading to Christ, a dimension of Him. Are we together? So? It can start from a story, it can start from a parable, it can start from a prophecy. But eventually it should be a description of the ways of God. Listen, let me tell you this, and I want to make a very polite but firm statement. One of the major troubles that is plaguing the church, not only in Nigeria but in Africa is that even among people who are sincere, many of our principles and practices are in many ways extra biblical. They are a deviation from the recommended patterns. Are We together? And the reason is because most people may know the character of God, but they have not taken time to learn His ways before enough that gives you the approval to either run a bakery Are We Together? Or run so pharmaceutical company. Even if you tell them you are a pharmacy, you will have to detail and outline the procedure that you. Are going to solow a way together. There is what is called best practices, am I right on, that that there is a recommended standard for everything. There are institutions of pharmaceutical institutions, medical institutions. When they look at someone to call the person authorities or to call the person professional, you do not just vex his intention. You must vex the procedure, am I right on. You want to perform surgery on someone, before the medical council allows you, they have to vet whether you understand the procedure. So if a patient is hurt and the doctor is being. Probed, the first thing they will prove is to verify whether you are a doctor. Indeed, if they find that, they will have to look into the procedure that you sallowed. If you sallowed every procedure or right, but everything's filled, you have indicated because as far as you're practicing right, you got. It right away together. So one of the challenges with most believers is they do. Not know how to produce results God's way. They know how results happen sometimes any way, but God's way, his authorized system. How does God prosper in the kingdom? How does God lift men in the kingdom? How does God annoyed in the kingdom? How does God give influence in the kingdom? How does God restore in the kingdom? How does God administerme messy in the kingdom? We need to know the ways of God. Knowing the ways of God is the key to running away from error, because in an atmoshere of desperation, any formula will be what you're embracing. You need to know how God acts so that you know that this. Is deviating from the ways of God. It is easy to work in the will of God when you. Understand his ways. Allelujah. Just because it throws results does not mean it as secured God's approval. It must be by his way. Because you see, Janus and Jambers can throw your road. True are not a formula, and it can. Become a serpent, and Moses can also throw his rod. So the issue is not just the serpent. The issue is whose way did you follow to arrive at that result. Don't just tell me you are anointed. We have to face the formula, show me the pathway to your growth and experience, and I can tell you whether you are in deviation or you are in alignment. Allelujah, are we learning? Yes, a person I want to rise. I want to be known by everybody in my generation. Let me see the blueprints you are following, and I will tell you whether the end of your journey will be disaster without process eying the ways of God is an accurate compass. It tells you the end from the beginning. I can tell you that the path where you are following there is sorrow being programmed there not by prophecygning Negatively. All I need to do is to see the road you are following. If the Bible not say that there is a way that cemet right onto a man, it says, but the end thereof. There is a way of. Doing ministry that seemeth right. There is a way of doing business that semeth right. There is a way of parenting that semeth right. There is a way of living your life that cemth right. But the it will be justified eventually by the side effects that come with you. If it is the way of the Lord, the sorrow component will be a deited out of day. It is an actual path that you must follow. Alleluyer prace the name of the Lord. There are people in their world quest for fame, respectfully speaking, have gone away from the patterns of God and when to explore other options to being famous. Some of them have lost their lives today. Some of them lost their bishopric, unfortunately. But there were others through the foolishness of obedience and alignment, one step after the other, a little here, a little there, not having any comeliness to be desired. But they followed the way of the Lord. And they have found out that through those carts, and through those pain and through the cross is. A throne waiting for you. The way of the Lord is the way of excellency and the way of wisdom. There is a way, genuine spiritual, how it comes upon men. There is a way wisdom comes upon men. There is no amount. Of importation, for instance, that will replace the place of diligence and study. It says study to show yourself approved. The assignment of the spirit of wisdom is to work in partnership with your diligence to see that you access superior dimensions of knowledge. But it will not replace diligence. So I can know how to help a believer by studying the road you are following. Listen, I wish I had the time, I would have shown you something the Lord revealed. To me very profoundly from Scripture. Every name you see in the Bible, it's not just the name of a biblical actom. Every name you see in the Bible captured within it is a road map that leads to a kind of believer. So when you say Abrah, Abraham is not just the name of a patriarch. Abraham is also a coded language to a kind of pathway that produces a certain believer. Elijah is not just the name of a prophet. Elijah is a road map that produces a kind of believer. Gideon is a road map. Ruth is a road map. So when God wants to build you for destiny, as you work with God, you will start finding out that certain names stand out in Scripture. It is not the name he wants you to study. There is a history behind those names that if you follow, you will start becoming a certain kind of believer. When God wants to prepare you having the destiny of Esther, he will lead you to Esther, not just to study the woman but to study how God leaves people from their lowly estate and connects them to royalty for the purpose of using their influence to advance the program of God. Can I tell you one of the ways you will know you are working accurately with God is you must find a parallel in the Bible of the way you are following. There has to be a see God in the Bible that parallels what the Spirit is doing in your life. If you have not found it yet, either keep suching or repents from the way you are following. But if it is. God you are learning somewhere in your Christian experience, please listen to what I'm telling you. If God is. Raising you to be a prophet, you will find a similarity of your dealing with one of There has to be a parallel. Jesus opened the book, and you found where it was written concerning him. It is written concerning everybody. It is not written in plain language, it is written in codes. It will take the spirit to open your eyes to say, so, this he maya have been reading is actually my destiny. It is not just a copa of a king from a historic and a doctrinal standpoint. You are dealing with a copier of the king. But when the. Prophetic layer off scripture is open, you will see that that man you call Mehemaya is actually somebody in Taraba that God is raising. There must be a scriptural expression of your destiny. Do you believe what I'm teaching you? So, my dear lady, you may not know why God is isolating you. You may not be the firstborn, but it's like God is training you as both a man and a woman, and you are saying Lord the harshness of this training. One day in the place. Of prayer, the bora will stand out for you and you will now see that that the bora you are being reading is actually the roadmap you have been following, because there is a kind of warrior He's training you to become. I know the Lion. I know the Lamb. I know the lion. I know the Lamb. I believe in the lion. I believe in the lamb, and I follow the Lion. I follow the Lamb every time. In ancient times, when a child. Of destiny was born, the kings who ask their wise men to go and check. The archives find it. If it is somebody who is a personal promise, there must be something prophetic about that person. Go and find it, and they will say, truly, we have found it. When Jesus was born, remember what happened, he said, no one such, and they came. They say, it's true. It's true, O King, it is true. Prophecy, someone is gone. He said, oh, really, okay, let me know where he is so that I will so come and worship him. The king was threatened because no two kings live here. But Prophecy called that man a king, not a baby. And even as a baby, he will not even allow him go. Let's kill him early. Because that destiny, provided. It is written, it has come to pass. The knowledge of God's character. The knowledge of God's ways is called the. Mysteries of the Kingdom. Listen, respectfully speaking, if you're a man of God, here, the strength of your efficiency in ministry, as far as the ministry of the world to people, his concern to improve your life depends. On your first understanding of the ways of God. So if somebody comes to meet you now and says, man of God, things are not going well. I have lost my job, I have lost from the finals in your spirit. You now go to a library. How does restoration happen in the kingdom. You know how you use an encyclopedia electronically while the person is talking, you already know with the precision of a doctor. This man is in need of restoration, but not any kind of restoration. There is a pathway. And then the person comes say, God is leading me things. I've not been working in my life, and yet God. Gave me a strange instruction that I should carry a serial seed and common soul. Could that be God? You can vet it, knowing the ways of God, and say, you are very accurate. In the midst of your pain. He's calling you to sow it is God. It is consistent with how he behaves. There is a way, there is something he's bringing, He's programming in your life. And he said, I saw you in Edgis, and God said I should come and drop this pastor I'm just a young believer. With accuracy, you can let him know. That as painful as this, there is a scripture that is written that he that weepeth bearing precious seats shall. Doubtless return rejoice him. So that activity is consistent with that which is written, even though it is painful. You can tell him have no share you are working in the ways of God. Without the knowledge of the ways of God. It is impossible to help people. You will only help people emotionally. So someone comes to say, I'm having all kinds of dreams and there are attacks in my life, and the only thing the Man of God. Well, let's pray Lord help this man litle. I don't know what to tell him. Is just that I happen to be his pastor not help him? No, but you should be able to know when you know the ways of God. And the person comes to you, like Joseph coming to his father and says, Pastor, I had a dream. Innocently I saw the sun the moon, and eleven starts vowing. You begin to rejoice and say, ah, so this is Joseph. Now let me prepare you, my dear son. There is a peach coming, my dear son. There is portifirst wife coming. Build stamina in the midst of the storm. Go and start praying three hours. Why am I the one. Praying three hours? So that when you are in that peach, if it is Joseph I saw, there must be a pleach. There must be portifirst wife. So my assignment is to prepare you dear Joseph, so you don't die offense when you're in the pitch, and so that you are not weak spiritually under the influence of Portifa's wife. I prepare you to have the stamina to remain in the prison until the King sends for you. This is how we help men. So when members come to us, we are seeing diffriend. Characters in the Bible and in a sentiel. Come. So you, as a man of God, you are not just seeing a lady from somewhere in movie or in teraba. You are seeing Esther coming from her dreams and her description. You know that this is Esther. You know how to create a mentorship program that is allocated for her growth. Hali Capa ruths Cati Brand gave a Lacus theater. This is how we make men mighty. Mighty in stature. You don't administer the same training to everybody. No, Elijah cannot mentor Ruth. No, if Elijah mentors Ruth, she will not become Ruth. She will never meet Boas if Elijah mentors Ruth, she will become Elisa. So, as a man of God, when Ruth comes, you have to switch to become Naomi. If it is Ruth you want to produce. Only Naomi can produce Ruth. Only Elaija can produce Elisha. Only Moses can produce Joshua. The problem is Elijah is mentoring everybody. So someone comes with the destiny of a Ruth and becomes Elicha and does not shine fill men being Elisha and says no, something in my spirit is saying. I'm following a wrong path. Now you understand what Paul means by I become all things. To all men. I can switch dimensions based on my perception on what God has. Called you to be. So there is a gentleman. When you see him with the destiny of Elisia and Elijah, you can. Lock him up. And he says, I don't know why God is asking me to first for three months. I firsted January three months. And you look at him, you say, I know that your training is hard, but I know what you are becoming. Go ahead and do it. Another person will come and you say, listen, go and get those books because you are done. Hell. It is your intelligence that will be needed in Babylon. Go and settle down. Make sure you go for the masters, go for PhD. Because although you are a propect it will be concealed in knowledge. It is governmental power that will elevate you in Babylon. You see, we continue to make mistakes in mentoring believers because we have not known that the names in the Bible. Represent spiritual dimensions. The Bible is not made. Of Elijah alone, Abraham plus Sarah plus Gideon plus de Bora plus Peter plus Paul abit together plus Andrew plus all these people. Equal the characters in the scripture. And we have been given the unique mandate by men of God to bring and raise these diverse people. You must know the ways of God enough to be able to help men. So someone can come and meet you and say, I don't know. Why the Lord is I keep feeling. That I should go and work in the National Assembly. And you look at the person and say, give me a moment. Let me look at you, not from the lens of a preacher. Let me wear the google of one who I need to trace the path we are following from scripture. Spirit of the Living God, what is the destiny of this young lady? And he said that is es time the making. And he said, ah, go go, It is a pathway that will lead you to find a hazardous You are following the right part. Are we together now? Yeah? Please say that. Let me wrap up as God helped someone this morning. Please yar meter, Rabbi, your destiny is locked up here, your assignment in this conference. Please yar me. Many of you buying this teaching, you need to go back and let the scroll be unlocked. Find out where you are here and find out whether you have been trying to be ruth when you are esther. No, find out whether you have been trying to be David whereas you are Gideon Moses, don't ask me why they were attached from your childhood. That is how the destiny of Moses is. What is it with sickness and people hating me as a little child? Do you not read about Moses's Moses. Spared even as a baby. All deliverers are attacked even from your birth? Do you not read about Jesus, the savior of the deliverer. So when you tell me from age two, sickness wanted to kill me as a young person, everybody kept hating me. Aha, And you are describing a picture by your pain, and I can trace your destiny from scripture. Now it makes sense to rejoice in the midst of your pain. Count it all joy, because in the midst of that pain, it is leading you through a roadmap. You can now laugh in the midst of storms. I don't know why all my siblings hate me. I don't know I am the last one, yet everybody comes to meet me for advice. It's more than just being a nice person. Professor is calling you and saying are you. Not seeing Destiny is waiting for you and saying, if you know the ways. Of God, you will know how to navigate your. Own part in destiny and know how to help people. If you are David, make sure you are not only a musician. You must learn the out of war because you will fight many back to save your life. If you are David, train your eyes early so that you don't make the mistake of. David in the Bible. Train your eyes and discipline yourself spiritually, because one day you will look at Bethsheba. Make sure when it is time for war, go for war. Don't be in your house. There is an implication. If you stand in your house during the time of war, you are going to see Bersheba. If you are Samson, protects the covenant that God's the spirit of mine in your life. If you are Samson, Delilah will come. She will not come as a woman, but she will come. Samson. Your covenant is in your hair. So when you see other people careless with their hair, that is because they are not Samson. But because you are Samson, you have to protect your hair. You will find out that God's business with you centers around your hair, not your hand, because your hand does not look like it. Delilah will ask you how come you are not mutual, yet you are strong. You must learn how to keep silent and only speak when it is necessary. That is the training of Samson. If you are noisy Samson, you will die before the time of your manifestation. It was the inability to keep quiet as a Samson that plot his eyes his hair. Let me give you the last one. The person you used to thank you, your Lord Bishop, for hearing God enough to put as simple as this is many of you is when you are lying down quietly, this message will be on replay. In your spirit again. You will now say, so this is my life. I see, this is why he came to me. So I am Gideon. I am Gideon. The list in my father's house and my father's house, the list in the clan. I have always been angry. Why are we the poorest, the smallest. Now I see from knowing the ways of God, that that is a Gideon in training. You now go to scripture and start subscribing to the training that transforms you to become. A mighty man of valor. David, I know you are destined for the palace, but make sure you do not run away from the wilderness. If you run away from the wilderness, goad to kill you. Your training is in the wilderness. So when you are alone, rejoice, because that is where you will learn how to kill the lion with nobody clapping for you. You will learn how to kill the peer with nobody clapping for you. But one day, as small as you are, you will be taking food to your loved ones, and you will meet a beast that is worry. When you hear that raw, for many people it is oppression, but for you, it is a sign that a season has changed. I sense an annointing just resting on three people. I just saw that light three people that grace in the name of Jesus Christ. May that grace rest upon you, that there is an importation, a quickening in your spirit. Man as you are hearing this. Now, the Lord is opening scripture and he's showing you shine you your desny through the prophetic blueprints of skipture. Safras caemtage. You don't have to bring them out here, Hapasa. Just praying one. Minute before we wrap up, one minute while you are seated, Sa. Someone is finding the road map into his prophetic destiny. This is eternal life. Shady bash Ah. It's time for you now. You see. It's connecting to your dreams. Your destiny is making sense. Now, preature. Now you know that the journey you have been taken in ministry as pensulasities, there is a karac time scripture. You are becoming. Do not abort your training. Do not abort your training ten members. Even after two years. Don't be discourage. It's not that you are not anointing. You're not anointed. There is a certain character you are becoming. MH. Pray in one minute and then I'll give you the No shadow. You lier mountain, your moon climber coming after me. No wall, you won't. Kick down, lie you wom toe down, coming after. Me, No shadow you lier. Mountain, you won't climber coming after me, No wall, you won't keep down. Lie you wom cheer down coming after me. M hm Alice Baratoskia Esther. Remain streithful in the training of Esther. The borough remains stretchful in the training of the Borough. Ruth remains stretchful in the training of Ruth. David, you are going to be a mighty king. Don't expect your training to be. Like that of a medio card. We are talking about Davy. Elijah, you will become a mighty prophet that will charge the works of Perl. So obtain grace and stamina in the midst of the plane, thou son of Tishpipes, Elijah, the tishpipes and you, and joy the fasting, and joy the hours of training, and joe the discipline and the consecrations. You are Elijah, Esther. Begin to learn the language of royalty. Here you will need a hazardous permission and corporation. Learn how to make a hazard ross happy. Understand the dynamics of favor. The Jews are depending on your wisdom. Your carelessness can empower a man to destroy God's. People in Jesus name, we pray. Please sit down, let me give you the last one, and then we'll wrap up. I hope I've not lost you this morning. Please let me challenge you. Go online, listen to this message again. This message is a retreat Manuel. This is not something just to hear in a conference. When this conference is over, go online and get it. This is eternal life. I'll show you the dynamics the administration of stepping into the experience. Of that life. You want to be invincible, your life being a sign and a wonder. It begins by making that prayer, that decision, but it does not stop there. There is a network of pathways you must follow for the rich capture of eternal life to be made manifest, that they may know the the one True God and Jesus, whom thouur said a person I want to speak and to see the power of God moving. A meeting is more than an importation that handkerchiefs and aprons are taken from your body. No, you can choose to be a have a list, but if it's. Genuine annointing from Heaven, from God, there is a pathway that is evolves a man into that possibility can I give you the last n the knowledge of his character number one, the knowledge of his ways number two. Finally, the knowledge of his power efficients one. Okay, m hm. Al Godar macados Kilda, the knowledge of his power. Oh only oh lassars? Who comes in the name of a guy who only. Oly lasars? Who comes in the name of a girl. Who'sa boa? Let's say you see who comes in the name of. The Lion of. Judah, the lamb upon the throne We hate. Most high. I was caught up in the spirit many years ago, and I heard. The angel singing this song. I didn't write it. It was a song that I heard and I brought from the rim of the spirit. Mm hmm halish layard. We hate we were ship. We hate Mos. We hate we were shipping. We hate you Mos. Hello in Madonna, Ha, Hello in Madonna. Listen down. Ephesians one was eighteen. Spent me a few minutes when I want you to be sensitive, because I sensed my spirit even door the importation properly be in the night. But there are some of you. Your hunger cannot wait for night. Something has already been activated within your spirit mind. There is a hunger that is creating an audience. In the spirit, there is an apostle, there is a prophet. The leaves, the leaf legs of your destiny has been opened as a man of God. That there is something in the spirit, something has been broken within the spirit. Allah shah sata kabetika kabadi kata craskadiata. I am exulting you. Say at the Spirit of God, your eyes shall see, your eyes shall see can shankabatas a friend, it's a new dimension. I open you up to a new season. Say that the Spirit of the Lord, your eyes shall see, your eyes. Shall see, Your eyes shall see, your eye shall see, your eyes shall see. Oh ooh ooh ooh. Hi Ali shahs haaba shallega brandagabatus. Here hih hih h h. Efficients one and verse eighteen the knowledge of His power. Hm hmm. Paul was praying over the believers in Ephesos. It was a jurisdiction that was under his apostolic coverage and mentorship, and he was helping the believers to mature, and he prayed a prayer It says that the eyes of your understan being enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of His calling and what is the riches of the glory of his inheritance in. The seins I like the next verse, And what is the exceeding. Greatness of His power to us world who believe according to kin of his mighty power which he wrote in Christ, when he raised him from the dead and set him at his own right hand in heavenly. Places of all principality and power. And might and dominion and every name that is named, not only in the world, but also in that which is to come, and had put all things under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things to the Church, even his body, the soulness of him that she led all and in all Listen in all your knowledge. If you do not have the knowledge of His power, you cannot work in dominion. Manifesting the experience of dominion is beyond claiming it. There is access to the knowledge of His character, access to the knowledge of his ways, access to the knowledge of his power. Ladies and gentlemen, it is at this realm that men in the spirit are separated from boys. This is where the fountain of praise flows. The knowledge of His power. Encapsulated within this revelation is the prayer request of. Many people that desire to heal the sick, to walk in dominion. The desire to manifest authentic kingdom power. Ladies and gentlemen, you have been praying, Oh God, grant me access to genuine spiritual power. This is where it lies that you will know the exceeding greatness of His power to us. Word, who believe? I have spoken once? The Bible says, and twice have you heard that power belonged to God. The power to heal, the power to raise me, and the power to deliver, the power to speak the purposes of God over nations and ship spiritual climates, the power. To bring down revival across territories. It resides in a revelation. Please hear me. When you have access to this truth, my dear believers, respectually speaking, you. Will turn Tabah. You will turn the no here upside down, not just by religious bigotry and stranatism, but a manifestation of earth. Think it prove thebut grace. It's one thing to say it, but it's another thing to show it. This kingdom is not only a kingdom of speech. In this kingdom there is the. Demonstration of power, it says, and when I came to you. I did not come in the excellency of speech, but in the demonstration of power that your faith will not rest upon. So yeah, the wisdom of men, but upon the power of God Acts Chapter eight. And verse five. The Bible says Philip went down to Samiria, and he preached Christ onto them. Verse six, he says, and the people with one accord gave heed to those things which Philip speak, hearing and seeing, Man of God. This is the dimension you need to enter. People love hurt too much. They need to see if it is the gospel. Man must hear and see, all taste and see. That the Lord is good. Don't just tell people God is good. Let them test and see that the Lord is good. Can I tell you sincerely, and I say this respectfully speaking, do not. Downplay the role that the power of God has to play in bringing sinners to the cross, in bringing believers to be true transformed, and in advancing the purposes of God. The language that the devil understands his power, It says some sixty three and verse three say onto God. Some sixty six and verse three say. Onto God, how terrible art doubt in your ways? Through the greatness of Thy power shall their enemies. So meets themselves. There are situations in our lives and in the lives of our family members. To come to you. Even I called once and again, but ceta and hindered them. Savor that was sent was coming to you, but Satan hindered it. The members that were coming to you were coming, but Satan hindered them. Jesus announced his messiahship. By finding and reading a place where it was written concern him. But he did not stop there. He closed the book, the Bible says, and the eyes of everyone was fastened towards him. And he saw a man whose hand was withered. And he told that man, if it is true that the spirit of the Lord is upon me, if it is true that He has anointed me, to bind up the broken, hated, to bring the Gospel to the mick, to bind up the broken, hated, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to declare the acceptable year of the Lord. If this is true, then I come with the demonstration of that spirit. Stretch forth your hand, and the Bible says. The man stretched forth his hand, and his hand became hell and hatty. Was it not by the manifestation of power that Pharaoh gave up on the captivity of Israel. It was not with discussions. It was with a mighty hand and outstretched hand. Nine plagues and Pharaoh was still stobborn, and one more plague that caused the life of his son. Whoever told you Satan will let you go just because God said you should work in liberty, not know, he says pop on spirit, And you're not aware of. His resilience and his determination. He was stopping from having children. He will top your ministry from having visibility. He will stopping from going forward. He will misrepresent you to your world. It takes DaMina and the administration of power to create your realities and your possibilities in this life. The ministry of power. The Church was founded upon the platform of power. The church advancing the early days upon the platform of power. The Church continues to thrive today, making destiny progress and advancing. The program of God upon the platform of power. Please hear me. Power is not for preachers. When he said ye shall receive power, he was speaking to all men. He said, for the promises for you and your children and your children's children. When I talk of power, I hope you know that it's beyond following that one standing up. No, we're not talking about that. We're talking about the ability to manipulate the spiritual, the social, economic, the physical climate over man until it becomes a reflection of the dominion of Jesus. Power that does not translate to liberty is not power. Power is beyond a basis for marketing the ministry of a man. No, for many of us, our pursues for power is just as a way of creating validation. The assignment of power is more than that. For every tear you see, it is power that wipes that year. Did you hear what I said? Everyone you ever see crying, I want you to know that your compassion must. Be backed up by power to wipe the tears. I have been ten years without a child. It takes more than saying sorry your standards, one who send by God and saying the name of Jesus, I bring you the power and the dominion of this kingdom. Why do we claim we belong to a kingdom of power and yet. We are not able to demonstrate the riches and the power that resides within the kingdom. It is because we have pressed for anointing, but we have not pressed for the knowledge of the power that raised Christ from the dead. Do you know the kind of power that was exacted that brought Jesus from Hades back to the earth. Paul said that you will know. If that power can bring Jesus from the earth, it can't take anybody from the ground to the throne. The power that the grave could not stand. Is it a job that was stand it? The power that the grave could not stand. Seen Satan, Hell and the Grave, all these forces were defeated hands down in the face of that power. And he said, as my father has sent me, so send I. You listen to me. We're going to pray and wrap up for now, but let me charge you as you come tonight. Come with your heart open. You see, when God gives us the privilege to travel to regions and stare believers. Like I said yesterday, my greatest desire is not to be seen as a great man of God. My greatest desire is to be seen as a privileged vessel that has been granted the grace and apostleship by God to be able to help hold the hands of many and bring them higher to greater spiritual pedestrials This is a no black testimony than being a great man. So every time God grants us the privilege, let me tell you this and he disclaimer. I will emphasize with all the miracles and the. Demonstration of the spirit, the goal is not creating a celebrity out of this man. A goal is seeing a man as a template for the possibility that everybody can enter in Christ is eternal life that you see the healing is the administration of eternal life. Great is the mystery of godliness, that God can endwell a man and turn ordinary men to become sons of God. They called the apostles, seals and hemes because they could not. They had to add a define, a difine addition. To them, that you could not be ordinary men manifesting these possibilities. That at the end of this conference, as a man of God, haven't traveled from all fine year, haven't shelled. Your activities perhaps other conferences. You should not just go back saying wow, it was a good preacher, but that you can important grace you probably did not come with and return back with it. That men can see you and say it's soul also part of them, that you have accessed something from heaven. Lights number one, but power number two. Lights number one, but power number in all your getting, get empowerment. He said, Tarry in Jerusalem. I have taught you, But teaching is not enough until he be endued with power Penny l twenty twenty three. It is not just that you are born to win. If you are born to win, you must be full of power. It takes power to command dominium. Jesus was not just full of grace and truth. He was filled with the spirit beyond measure? Is he not? In Acts Chapter ten hun. Verse thirty eight, how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth, The Bible says Peter was speaking in the house of. Cornelios to the gentile church. The Bible says he went about doing good and healing all day that were oppressed of the devil, for God was with him. What was the basis? He was anointed with the Holy ghost, but he was anointed with power. The disciples only had information, and they could not do anything in the. Presence of the sick, except where Jesus send them with his name. They came back rejoicing and said, even the demons were subject. To us in your name. But the time would come when they accessed genuine spiritual power, and with that power they work valiantly. They advance the purposes of the kingdom. Can I tell you the darkness over Tarabah, the darkness over this region. In the north. It's not just waiting for prayer through people alone, as important as that is. It's waiting for men and women who have understood the full import of eternal life. Men who can stand like. Elijah and make declarations from one point, not in a radio station, not in a TV station. The spiritual climate does not need that paraphernalia to respond. If you have genuine power the spiritual climate where you have been you are domicile, can acknowledge the fact that the hand of God is upon your life, not by being called a man of God, but that you exue power, power, genuine power, the spirit. When I began my work with God, I prayed that I would know him sincerely. But I prayed a sincere prayer. Many of you may have heard it. Pat Robertson, He's going to be with the Lord now. I heard his. Testimony as a young man when he was about to start ministry seven hundred clubs CBN, and he prayed three prayer points. He said, Oh, God, grant me access to wisdom. Grant me access to favor. Grant me access to the announcing of the Holy Ghost. I went back and I prayed the same prayer, because the Bible says there are two ways of becoming. Number one is to follow them. Number two is to look on too Jesus. These are the two ways by which transformation happens. Ultimately, we look onto Jesus, but for transformation to happen at a nuclear level, you must learn to follow them. There are some them who have obtained the promises. And I prayed that prayer. I said, Lord, do not send me to the nations. If the only thing I have is a message. Do not send me to the nations. If the only thing I have is an explanation. Creation is not waiting for the explanation. Of the sons of God. Grant and place something upon my life that in the midst of all these speakings. We can import the reality of the life of God and with it correct and with. It create, and with it manifest divine possibilities in the lives of people. Can we spend two minutes praying this morning as we wrap up this session. Is it all right if we pray, please rise upon your. Feet, just give your destinies two minutes as we pray, just one prayer point, and then we pray. This is eternal life, John seventeen. And thus three that they may know thee the one True. God, and Jesus, whom thou hast. Said, and have broken the knowledge of God for you into three compartments. Number one, the knowledge of his character. Number two, the knowledge of his ways. Number three, the knowledge of his power. Let that become your prayer point, Father, that I may know you. Go ahead and pray that I. May know your character, that I may know your ways, that I may know your power. Is someone praying Penniel twenty twenty three. Let it be from the depth of your heart the knowledge of his character. Make you a believer with confidence void of here, because you. Know who God is. The Lord is gracious and compassionate, Lord to anger, and rich in love. When Jesus came before the Bible would talk about his power, The Bible tells us in John chapter one that he was full of grace and true. Go ahead and pray. Reveal your character. Give me confidence, erode my sears, Let me become like you in experience through the knowledge of your character. Pray for the knowledge of His ways. Grant me intelligence to understand the modus operandi of the Kingdom, the spiritual pathway that leads to the various outcomes, the systems of advantage that have been provided for the believer in Christ. And then pray the knowledge of your power, the power. To subdue principalities and powers in experience, the power to exact dominion upon situations and circumstances, the power to rewrite the stories of men's lives, to reprogram the spiritual climate over our men. Tow then thurn the Christ across every. Strata of human activities, to advance the program of God forcefully, to keep satan and demons at day, to see. To it that the Gospel den's crowns across the earth. Let me have the knowledge of that power, for in Jesus' mighty name we have prayed. In Jesus' mighty name we have prayed for one last time. Let me lend my voice with that of His lordship to encourage you that our session tonight is I would just share one more thing, one more tonight, and then will have the time to be able to minister to the needs of people.

As you prepare your heart for tonight, I decree and declare that you will find the grace understanding not to wait, the grace understanding not.
