It truly is a privilege to serve the purposes of. God, and we thank God for some of. The blessings that we receive while we serve, but make no mistakes about it. God is God all by himself. It is a. Privilege to be part of the things that we do, and that He's able to use us the way he uses us. It's an honor. You know. We do some of these things. Not as eigh service, but we make it public to also mentor a generation coming away together. It's not enough to just keep quiet and say I'm humble. It's important we've presented templates so that the generation will learn that you must be vocal about acknowledging the lordship of Jesus Christ. He says, and I if I be lifted up from the earth, I will draw Allelujah. Pride is a killer. Pride is a destroyer. It destroys anything at all. Allelujah. So one more time, let's bless the Lord.

The extent of life that you have, the extent of your spiritual illumination is where your strength is derived from. Hallelujah. When a believer does not have high level spiritual illumination, you will be around spiritual things, but you will never have the power to enjoy the blessings that come. So conferences like this, like I would always observe. It's an opportunity for us to be exposed to the light, the various dimensions of the light of the Kingdom. Allelujah. When we have high level illumination and we understand the speakings of God, then we can connect our faith with understanding. Then it will produce for us. Allelujah. Prays the name of the Lord. Tonight's teaching will bless you, and I pray that your heart be opened in the name of Jesus. Let's read together some one, two and thirteen. Ready one to read dow shall arrives and have mercy upon Zion. For the time to favor her. Yeay, the sad time is come. Let's read the beepart together for the time. Ready one to read for the time to favor her, yeay, the sad time, Alleluja. The Bible records. That Jesus wept two times, principally as revealed in scripture. The first time he wept was in John chapter eleven, when he was at the grave of Lazarus. When he was told that Lazarus was gone, he cried, and oh how he loved only eleven thirty five. The Bible says, Jesus wept, and then they said, oh how that he loved him. He wept as an expression of his his love and compassion that he had for Lazarus. The second time he would weep was in Luke chapter nineteen. Look after nineteen and will begin reading from verse forty two. Look nineteen forty two. The Bible says that he stood over Jerusalem. And he began to weep. And he said, if thou hast known even in this thy day, the things that belong on your peace, it says, for nowadays your eyes, let's jump for the sake of time. To forty four, the Bible says that they will go through up. These things, these negative things. It says, because thou knowest not the time of thy visitation. Allelujah. He wept because many things would pass them by. They would become victims of life, victims of all kinds of demonic oppressions. And it says, simply because you did not know the time of your visitation. In second first Chronicles, chapter twelve and thirty to a popular scripture, Chronicles twelve thirty two, it says, and of the children of Isaka, which were men that had understanding of the types. This was the advantage they had over their brethren, that they could discern times, they could. Discern seasons, It says, to know what Israel ought to do. And the heads of them were two hundred and all. Their brethren were at their command. May that be your testimony, Jesus, now God designed in fact, let's go to Genesis Genesis chapter one. Let me show you something before I begin to. Teach Genesis chapter one. Please what we know as the creation story now verse fourteen. Genesis one, verse fourteen, the Bible says, please give us verse fourteen. And God said, let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens, to divide the day from them, and let them be for signs. Help me for seasons, for days and for years. So God made lights, and he used those lights to divide seasons. That immediately tells you that our activities on earth is a function of times and seasons. Please write it down, if you must write. As far as our work on earth is concerned, we subscribe to the law of times and seasons. That means that everything you do on earth must be done in time and must be done. With rec said to time. In Ecclesiasts, chapter three and verse one, the preacher gave us a greater perspective, and he said to everything, say everything one more time. Please through everything, there is a season. Just stop there, Please look very carefully through everything. When the Bible says to. Everything, it means there is nothing under the earth that will devide the law of. Times and seasons. To everything there is is season. Allelujah, and a time for every purpose under the earth. Let's go to verse two. Now it says a time to be born. To be born is not the issue. It says, a time to be born, I am to die, a time to plant. Please look up. Woman gets pregnant and after three months, under any kind of condition, she feels like giving bed. Do you call that delivery? Are we together? Why? Timing? Timing? The same thing she's afraid of now is the same thing you'll be praying for when she gets to nine months. You name them, and for one you do not. You call that losing a child, and for another you congratulate and call it delivery, simply because of timy. Are we together a time to be born? Then it says a time to die, a time to plant, a time to plug up that which is planted the street, please, a time to kill, a time to heal, a time to break down, and a time to build up. Let's have one more verse. A time to weep and a time to laugh, it to mourn, and a time to dance. The constant word in all of these verses is time. So everything we do. Under the ton oven by the law of time and seasons. That is the first thing I wanted to The second thing I wanted to know is that God himself, in his dealings with men, he respects times and seasons. God does not dwell in time. God does not need time, but when it. Has to do it his dealings with man, he limits his operation to subscribe to times and seasons. Allelujah. In the Greek there are many words that express times and seasons, but I want us to discuss. Two of them were looking at times and seasons. The first is the word chronos c hrn s. The word chronos. Chronos means the passage of time, the sequential movement of time, or the quantitative movement of time. That means sectence, minutes, ours. The passage of time is what the Bible calls chronos. Allelujah. And then there is another word called. Chiros kai rs. They're all Greek words that express time. Chiros kiros means a defining moment. It means an opportune time. It doesn't just mean a passage of time. It means a moment in time where certain things, whatever happens within that. Time, will have a prolonged effect on an individual. Allelujah. So we have chronos, the passage of time, the quantitative passage of time, by the minute, by the second, by the hour, and then we have tyros. It talks about moments, seasons within time. Allelujah, are we learning already now? Please listen. There is a dimension of grace that is released in every time and in every season. There is a dimension of grace that comes with every time and comes with every season. In other words, there are supernatural possibilities that if you have the discernments, you can experience them simply because you aligned with certain times. There's no time to deal with the story in John chapter five. John chapter five is a classic example. The man at gets beautiful. Remember the story. The Bible say as that man was there for thirty eight years, and the Bible tells us that at a certain time, not every time. If he just fell in the water at the time that the angel did not come to stare, he would just come out wet, but not heal. The Bible says, at a certain. Time an angel would come and steer the water, and whoever was decigning to fall first. As merciful as God is, you would think that when the water was said, so many people should come, and yet that time could only accommodate one descigning person the first person. I don't know what was wrong with that man that two years became five, became ten, became fifteen, became twenty. Became thirty, became thirty five. Jesus had to look at that man, and the Bible says he was. There for a long time. What was his offense? He was near the water away together. He knew what to do, but he missed the timing. Thou shall arise and have messy upon Zion for the time to favor her. Yea, the sad time has come. So there are graces and there are possibilities that are attached to every time. In fact, in Ecclesias, chapter ten, verse eleven, the Bible says, he makes all things beautiful, not every time, Please give it to us. Ecclesias is three eleven, three and eleven. He makes all things, all things beautiful. He had made everything beautiful in his time. Notice he never said your time. He had made everything beautiful in his time. That means, if you can understand the sequence of God's spiritual timing and the way he walks, your life will be an expression of the beauty and the. Glory of God. If you are with me, say amen, He makes all things beautiful in his time. Time is so important in scripture that in pharm ninety and verse twelve, the Psamies gave us a very strong counsel. It was a prayer, he said, in your prayer, ensure that you pray, and say, oh, teach us, so teach. Us to number our days, why that we may. Apply our hearts onto wisdom. There is a relationship between your working in wisdom and understanding times and seasons. Teach us to. Number our days that we may apply our hearts onto wisdom. Paul was mentoring the church in episodes. In Efficient chapter five, I'm giving you a few scriptures before I begin to teach. Five. From verse fifteen efficients five and verse fifteen, he says, see then that you. Walk sack comespectly. The word circumspectly means accurately, walk accurately, not as fools, but as wise. Where is the wisdom there? Redeeming the time? The word redeemed means to buy back? Are we together? He's saying, redeeming the time. Because the days are evil verse seventeen. Hopefully we'll get into that one tomorrow. He s awherefore, be ye, not on wise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is redeeming the time, because the days are evil. One last scripture, John chapter nine and verse four. Jesus himself was teaching John chapter nine. Let's read together, these are the words of Jesus. Ready one to read. I must walk the works. Of Him that sends me. Aha, while it is day, hod on, hold on, why would Jesus sound so limited? While it's Jesus, almighty, Jesus, the Word of God, the incarnate of the Father. He's saying, even for me, since I have become a man, I have submitted to times and seasons. In other words, if. I waste my time, there will be consequences, even as far as redemption is concerned. I must work the works of Him that sent me. While it is day, it. Says the night comet. He didn't say it may come. The night certainly will come. And when night comes, no man, no man, provided you are a man, you will not be able to work. I must work the works of Him that sends me while it is day, it says the night comet, when no man can work again Away together, Now, most believers. Do not understand the power of time. I have thoughts, and I have read from scripture that the salive of dominion is dominion over time, not over things. You can have dominion over things, but you are not truly working in dominion until you can have dominion over time. The greatest desire of a dying man is not more things. The greatest desire of a dying man is not more influence. For instance, in Isaiah chapter thirty eight, the story of Hezekiah, Hezekiah pleaded. For more time. That was his prayer, Give me time. Because the moment you have time, every other thing can be restored in time. A will together. You can see that when God wants to show men mercy, he restores years more than things. Restore the years, not just the things. You can lose money and get it back. You can lose your health and go to the hospital, but if you lose time, that is the end of it. In fact, did you know that you call the entire journey from when a man is born to when he dies life time life time for as long as his spirit can coexist with his body. If it is two days, then his lifetime is two days. If it is one hundred years, his lifetime his one hundred years. You must understand timing because most believers think all times are convenient for everything. At the end of this teaching, God will plant in you a sense of urgency. There will be a divine sense of urgency in your life, and you will know that whatever wastes your time is of the devil, because that is the most expensive commodity a wi together, second to the salvation that you have gotten in Christ. The gift of time. Time is an equalizer given to everybody. With all the advancement in technology, no body has been able to add more time as an asset. We have mastered the way of creating robot artificial intelligence to help accelerators. But God in is wisdom and short that time remains the equalizer for all men. If it is morning in Nigeria, provided you are in Nigeria, it would not hurry and become aster room for you. It goes slowly and everybody submits to it. Twelve o'clock in Nigeria is twelve o'clock for everybody. Six o'clock in Nigeria is six o'clock for everybody. We deal that time zone. Everybody helplessly has to wait for that time. Are we together? So time is a blessing it is an equalizer. Unfortunately, Unfortunately, when Satan comes to a man's life, the first thing he does is to study your understanding about time. When he finds out that you do not have an appreciation of the blessing and the divine significance of time, he will occupy you with activities so that you will think. Just because you are engaging several activities, it means that you are working with time. It says, redeemed the time. Because the days are evil, praise the name of the Lord. There are people who have wasted their time on mundane things, waste their time pursuing. Things that have no purpose, no eternal value. Are we together, and at the end of your. Lives they would look back and regret and say, I wish I had time. I wish I had time, I wish I had time to do this, I wish I had time to do that. When God wants to help men, he grants them wisdom to understand time. Now, please look up this issue of Chronus and Chiros. Let me say a word or two about it. In every man's life, watch this now. Chronos, which is the passage of time, remains with us for as long as we are alive. But chiros, this opportune time does not come all the time. I want you to please listen, let me explain how do I okay, let me explain chronos and chiros for you. Please look up. Imagine with me a student who is in school right, Um, that students is. Expected to read and prepare because there would be exams time. Is that true? But for a students saying secondary school, there's something called junior YAX and there's something called the senior yex Now, all exams are important, but those two exams can define the next seasons of that person. Is that true? Now? Those periods are called tyros moments. So every time the student is expected to be serious. Every time the student is expected to read and give his or her best. But when you see students who are preparing stay for a jam, you see the kinds of skills that they employ because they understand that this is a defining moment. If I miss this, I may have to wait one year again. Away together. And so you see people waking up in the night away together. You see all kinds of chain readings. People begin to deploy all kinds of creativity to make sure they maximize that moment, and a wife person will not say you are working too hard because they know that this is a Hiros moment. So even when you see them stretching themselves beyond the usual way. They would read, you only encourage them. You don't stop them because you know that if they miss out on that opportunity. Another example, imagine with me a student who is writing his final exams saying in law school, you see that student has done everything, and I mean the student is mandated to read and give them best, but for that final exam, if it means there are people who first while they're reading, pray while they're reading, play worship while they're reading, soak their legs in water while they're reading, and it is still by all means everything that becomes an advantage to maximize that moment. Because there are there are moments that when you miss, that is the end of it. Are we together. So we have the gifts that the advantage of chronos, the passage of time every day. But the Bible teaches us that in. Every man's life there are not many of these seasons, but they are there, and that you have to discern the technology. Of your arrival. You need to learn how to know that you are in these seasons, because for a man, sometimes in an entire lifetime you may not have more than. Six of diseasons. And for some of us we've already lost two or three, so it will take the grace of thought to catch up. Pay attention, please. Allelujah, that in a man's lifetime you will not have these defining moments come all the time. For instance, a man who wants to become a professional. Footballer at age sixty. You see his zeal is. Correct, his vision is correct, but he missed a chiros moment, and that they are not biases to that chirous moment. There is no club sites that would take him, no matter the kill the system that has been built around that shield for deeds that he will be part. Of it professionally at that age. Are well together? Is someone learning now? That means there is not enough to have vision. You must understand the. Timing components to life. I must walk the works of him that sends me. Hallelujah. When the disciples saw Jesus, they discern a sense of strange urgency, and the disciples one that why Jesus seemed to be up and about. I mean you are the king of things, having all power. You claim you are the son of God coming from heaven. What is the rush about to the extent that you will forget to eat? Are tired? Who said you would think he should be resting? Then you see him with a woman at the well and with the same zeal and passion. Then he said, gentlemen, I know you are tired. Let's go to the other side. Who's sleeping the post While we're going, he himself was sleeping, meaning he was tired. We're not the first to start this position to Jesus himself. You see the scripture abutting for what we do? Allelujah. Yeah. And Jesus got to a point where he let them know that he had to do this because there was urgency connected to it. Paul the Apostle. When Paul encountered the Lord. Jesus Christ, the level and the extent of urgency that was in Paul to the extent that if they locked him up in prison, he didn't have tanks. Emphathizing with his situation, he said, listen, I don't need your food. Just get me a ten and get me something to be able to write. Is in prison all he was concerned all this church. I've not visited them for three months. I'm sure some of these people worst in ship floating will be in distrust. Now let me write something to admolish them. If you came to fall in prison to say how are you feeling? That was not what you wanted to hear. How is this church doing? The church in this, the church in that? And then at the end he said, I've for the good fight. I have finished my course, not our cause. Allelujah away together. Yes, So timing is really really very important, very very important. When you give that to a child, a young baby, it would be unfair and even wicked of you to now begin to flow the child to say I'm talking to you and you're not responding back to me. No, you need to give that child time. After five six years. And you find out, for instance, that the child cannot work, cannot talk, that now becomes a serious condition. A serious condition. Is that true? Because you have allowed time. There are certain things that should have happened in time. Already. I'm praying for someone in the name of Jesus. Whatever has eaten your years, because I will tell you, do you not want the locals and the canker worms eat. They don't eat things. They eat years. There are spirits whose assignment is not your money. There are spirits whose assignment is not your influence. There are spirits whose assignment is your years. I will restore the years that the counter worm the caterpillar. Let me speak to someone. You are here and you say, apostle, I even gave my life to Jesus Christ late since hearly I have legal kinds of things. And as it is right now, it feels like time is wrong. Thank God you came for this conference. I decree and declare that God is the lord of time, bring restoration to your life, Alleluiah. Listen them. When you understand the power of time, you will now know why God brought in two spiritual mysteries first or not to be able to help men to maximize destiny. Number one is speed. Number two is restoration. This mysteries directly deal with time. When God grants a man's speed, why do you. Pray for speed? Why do you ask for speed? Alleluia? If I left Abuja by road to come here, you cannot say I'm stagnated because the cow would still be moving. But the problem is with respect to the time allotted, I may not arrive to meet the activity I wish together now. So if I can outsource as not that agency that can help me. Remember my movement is with respect to time. So someone, for instance, and respectfully. So who left in the money most likely as not a right by now A wis together now and then another person both of us I enjoy movement. When you say who are those making progress? All of us who stand? But who are those who are experiencing speed? You see, speed is the ability to do much within time. I'm saying all of this because when I connect it to our destiny and I connected to these Chiros seasons, because I will be showing you prophetically that as individuals, as the body of Christ as a continent, we are in our chiros moment. How do you know you are in your Chiros moment? The ansize in Genesis one fourteen he said him made light to signify time. That means there is a revelation. There is always a body of spiritual truth that helps you to know what season through are in. He made light, and he put those lights to signify seasons. You can use light revelation to know what season you have stepped into. There are many many people listen. When a farmer right now, this is November. December Nigeria and we call it dry season. It would be unwise for a farmer to go to the farm right now, is that true, and then start farming and not look for an alternative source of water. Why because you do not have an advantage of rain. Well maybe in Legosy, I don't know how it works away. Together now, but generally speaking, in Nigeria we have what we call the dry and the rainy season. A farmer does not need to worry about rain when it's a rainy season. She's just fans and he allows the advantage that comes with the season. Are we together now, that's what we call irrigation. Irrigation means you're trying to simulate rainy season in dry season because you want the clubs to grow, but that the season does not give you that advantage. You have to outsource through technology and not the rounds. So many people have missed certain seasons. I'll give you an instance. There are people who got deliberately brought close to others within a particular season and they did not discern why. They were there. The man who keep asking them can I help you and say no, no morry. Little did they know the man and only two years and he will relocate somewhere. And there were chiros moments. Maybe God granted your access to someone in government. He was by God God's grace, and the man was benevolent. God gave you unusual access to his ears, his heart, and his hands. But because you could not discern seasons, hallelujah, Jacob said, the Lord was in this place, but I knew not. Do you know? Because Jacob did not discern the season in Genesis twenty eight, you know his punishment for that twenty years. Jacob paid the price twenty years, two wives, and six extra years. After twenty years, Jacob said, I need to leave. And in chapter thirty two, when God was coming to him again, he said, this time around, He held him and said, I will not let you go. I'm already this long behind shadow. Unless you bless me, I will not let you go. If my time with you will be this night, I will utilize the time and gain back twenty years. I'm going to be showing you. How to reading time because there is a technology that has been given to believer us that. When we engage it, we are able to redeem and combatime. Hallelujah. It is from the strength of these systems of advantage. That the Bible says for we know that all things, all things can walk together. So don't say I gave my life to Christ at forty I mean the time I'm already half way gone. Don't worry. There is something you can do with God. He designed this system and it's economy where your one year can be what your ten years would have been. Do you believe this. In the name of Jesus Christ. How do you prepare for these defining moments this opportune seasons? You prepare for tyros by maximizing chronos. That means every day, the passage of time is the raw material you use in preparing for these dividing moments. You do not waste every day and waste every time and expect to just stumble into opportunity times. Let me give you an instance. Let's assume, for instance, that a young music midicized trusting God for visibility that God would announce the person. It is not the day the opportunity comes that he prepares away together the opportunity the. Time he's looking for is Chiros, but. His performance during the Chiros moment will depend on what happens in Chronos. David prepared for the palace. Not in the palace, David took advantage of his chronos a wish together. Now he learned how to sling. He killed the lion, he killed the bear. It is interesting that nobody. Was there to record and capture it. However, the justice system of God preserve that that he was still using. His fund us properly. One time, I like how God announced this man. The Bible says that the fnder told him, listen, go and feed your brothers. And he only took food and heard a this rary and he said, what is the meaning of this? They said, this man, go liaut of God, six strings, six doors, young man, go back home. Immediately he said. What shall be done? What shall be done to the man who takes this guy down? And they said all kinds of things, And he said, listen, I'm able to do this. Listen, don't bring shame on our family. We are warriors. And he said, listen, don't disrespect me for wanting to take advantage of my cairos. Let me defend my preparation. I was in the wilderness. I was in the wilderness when the lion came. When the pier came, I toy. It, and Saw looked at him and said, no, there's something this man, this is not He has prepared for the Cairos moment. And when he stood before Goliad, Goliad said, am I a dog Israel, this is what you are bringing. And David said, listen, you come to me with your sayers and with your bows, but I come to you in a name I might simise my moments of preparation. I will bring you down and use your own sword, take off your head. And give it to the birds, and with one sling. That is mattery. He didn't throw. The Bible does not give us information that he kept doing child and error. He had done that in the wilderness. God is speaking to someone already listen, waiting for the day. God will announced with. The recipe for remaining a medial care Forever. You prepare in prayer. God has told you he's sending you to the nations. The secret is not to start looking for opportunities sing my song to invite me. No, that's not how it works. Where nobody is sees you, it is your greatest stage. The real stage is not where people see you, is where you are alone and you are praying, you are fasting, you are preparing. That is Chrono's been massimized away together according to the law of times and seasons. I guarantee you remember the Bible says for. Everything there is this season that loose. Your season is there. John remained in the wilderness. He was not wasting his time. He was eating low costs and wildhorney, preparing himself, finding out the sign to identify Jesus. The Bible says, until his season or appearing when that season came with precision. When he saw Jesus, he said, behold the lamb and are prepared. Seeing you, I know you are the one. There are many of us. We do not even know how the doors were to enter look like, because we have been wasting the seasons of preparation, either jealousy or competition and all of that, rather than preparing for glorious moments. Isn't it amazing, ladies and gentlemen. That the captain of our salvation, Jesus himself, he used thirty years to prepare for a ministry of three and a half years. If you look at Jesus, you will call. You would think that Jesus had delayed in purpose. How do you prepare for thirty years? What is so special about you? Are silent. Thirty years. And then after thirty years, from age twelve in fact, to age thirty. Theologically speaking, there is still a debate as to what Jesus was doing, because they were the silent days of Jesus. Eighteen years we do not hear about Jesus again. What was he doing? Where did he go? The last thing we know about him is that he was in the temple, listening to the doctors and asking intelligent questions. It's study. We see this young man coming to be baptized of John, and John saw him and said, behold. The lamb that takes away the sins of the world. He said, I'm not even worthy to untie the latchest of your shoe, and he said, suffive to be so that scripture will be fulfilled. He baptized John, and the heavens were open. He was full of the spirit, and he began his ministry within a short time. The Bible says his faith spread. And broad because the level of power and grace and wisdom when he gathered the people and spoke. They said, we've not had this, not in this fashion. Who is this man? Where did they come from? They gave him, according to the Synoptic account of Look and Looked, Chapter four, they gave him the scroll of Isaiah. And he began to read. The spirit of the Lord is upon me. He had annointed me. He read all of these things. There were not invitations. He used his chronos for someone already. The spirit of God is speaking silly. If you do not perform well and you are bought these defining moments, it is because you wasted. Every day. That means every day is counting for that day, every day counting towards that day. Every day, Man of God, you're every day the time with God, the time with prayer, the two two hours, the one one hour of worship counting build enough for that moment of your season of appearing. Ask any bonny today that God has helped and God has lifted. They will tell you. They can trace to moments, moments, moments of pain, moments of labor without reward. Are we together now? Moments they knew from most people. Listen, listen from most people day, some long ago, where God was taking them to do. You know, sincerely, some of these days that God has brought us today, we saw them long ago. But we knew we're not just going to jump into these days. So souishing and saying I. Have a dream. When you have a dream, you wakem and then you begin to work with the Holy spirits, line upon line, precepts upon precept. For some of us, your service in this house is your massimizing chronos. Because the day will come, God will send you like an arrow to some nation in the world, and you may be pioneering a mighty revival. But let me tell you, if you are a revivalist, your first commission will not be revival. You already know you are an error when your first assignment becomes what you will be doing for the rest of your life. That's not how God works with people. If you are Paul, he will start with you in a certain way. Are we together now? That means if you think God has called you to be an apostol, and you will get up at your very first assignment in life, it's apostolic ministry. You're an error. That's not how God lives people. God can call you. To be a worshiper, and your first assignment is to. Sweep the church. How does sweeping the church? What does it have to do with worship as stealing? What attending tending to the welfare department had to do with him rising to be a very mighty man. God will give you instructions He's using, He's preparing you. There are some of you because of the nature of the assignment God has given you. He will not allow you to stay with your parents. He will put you with his street parents somewhere and for ten years. You will not want what God? What is all this? I have parents? This man is to us chronos. God is preparing you for that time because the kind of body you will be carrying her, you are going to be living his stiff next people. So it's important for you to be used to pain and controversy, to build turning and stature. So God will leave you. Listen, I'm speaking to you prophetically. Allelujah. Yes, of course I know that God is calling. Me to be a great kingdom financier. Your first assignment to be to empty everything you get. For that one year. He said, no, I resist this skill. God does not. God cannot speak like that. You have already feeled the test. Listen, I submit to you. We live in a world where people do not understand the laws of thiens and seizings. Instead of waiting and wishing for the day, there is already an assurance from scripture that your that day will come. Wishing for it does not. Make you step into it. It is maximizing your chronos. That means preparing for. That evangelistic ministry, that apostolic ministry, that ministry of prophetic samestry. It does not start with invitations to go from church to church. It starts with your relationship. For every time you open your Bible, for every time you pray, for every time you come to church and sit quietly, and they say, listen, join a department. You are the one who cleans the pulpit. While we are cleaning the pulpit. There is a record in heaven. Your chronos is God maximize. One day they would look at you and say, listen, you are part of the welfare department. Okay, just lead us in a ten minutes prayer. Aha, ten minutes prayer, and they say, let's all pray, let's hold our hands and give Jesus praise. And that ten minutes becomes one hour, there will start calling you pass on. It's just that you're a pastor that can cook. You see how you are graduating now ten minutes prayer. One day when they're looking for people to do a little five five five five minutes prayer the spirit of God, because he supervises this seasons, he will lead somebody to sell that gentleman. Please let him come up. And now you have an opportunity. And you see when God wants to accelerate your life, he will wait until the day your destiny helpers are before you, and then that one opportunity. Allelujah. You must understand those who excel in life are people who they live. As see, there is an assessment. Of them every day. And it is true, there is an assessment every day. It's only that your grading will not be that day. It will be accumulated grading. So every day you find someone who is doing well, already praying and fasting, and you are wondering, what are you praying for again? What are you stolen for a gain? God not lifted you. It is the preparation every day, maximizing chronos that gives you an opportunity. Jesus did not die every day. Listen carefully, but he prepared for his death from the time he was born. It took him one day to die, but it took him a long time to prepare. For that one day. He kept saying, it destroy this temple and I would build it. He would be alone, and you would go to pray. What was he praying for? Then he went to get somebody lived. Listen. With all the preparation of Jesus, he almost abortiant redemption. Father, if it's possible, take this cup of me. You're Jesus. The Bible says, if you turn aside in the day of battle, please listen. He said, your strength is small. God is speaking to me. To encourage someone. Right now. Your appectype of visibility is what may destroy the season's coming. You need to reduce this, this insistence to be known and prepare. You announce yourself by being faithful in your every day. Your faithfulness during your chronal seasons is what prepares you for that kind of moment. You don't have to pray for it to come. It's been programmed. Doubt shall arise and have messed you upon Zion for. The time to favor her. Yay, the chirous moment has come, and Deliwia. You prepare in prayer, you prepare in fasting, You prepare by. Rising to a level of value and capacity, that the moment your season comes is with galancy and honor, that you step into that season, never to come out in shame again. But for many people, you see, they think. Every day is chiros, and so they can choose to waste every day, not knowing that when this seasons go it takes a long time, a long time. Anybody who did not find this year is almost over, in fact is over. You have to be patient for a few months. While you're doing that, you go and get your seats, You get your fertilizer, you get everything preparing for that moment, because for sure, as far as there is day and night, rainy season will come again. Is that true, your pastor, he shared his story many times when he was with Pasto Esco and all the events that happened preparing for those moments. You see, there is nobody who comes out of nowhere. Let me tell you the truth. All that talk is nonsense. There is nobody. Just because you are not in the wilderness does not mean the person was not there. While you are killing the lion on the bear. Nobody sees you. There's no audience to clap for you, but the unseen eye of God, who controls times. You've got times and seasons in your hands. You call for life out of darkness. You don't need a man to be the God. There's a very powerful song, so he controls times and seasons. Who told you that you must arrange your manifestation? Who told you you must arrange the seasons for your announcements? It is a no necessary body in the economy of God. There is already room for your announcement if you utilize that opportunity respectfully speaking. Let me tell you, and I say this with every sense of humility. I have seen first cross and I have seen leaders desiring to rise, desiring to find especially in our day, you know some of these celebrity thing. Everybody wants to be known and to be honest, you know it's in men. People want to maximize their destinies. But I see how people ignore their every day and cheap anticipating for that one day, and then one day comes and you're not even aware that it is the one day because you were so busy, so busy getting You were distracted and did not prepare. There are other people who will prepare see one day will not come. One day will come and. Meet them while preparing, Trueseph listen carefully. Trueselph never knew that by the next day he will be Prime minister. Every opportunity he had to be a blessing, which is gift he did. Because you give a portion to seven and to eight, you do not know. You do not know which of them you are waiting until the day a rich man meets you. Then you are kind to him. You will be. Surprised that the person who will announce you to the rich man is the poorest pressing around you. And because you refuse to show compassion. You recycle seasons again. There are many people who do not show or not to all men. They want only specific people, and they' believe that when you meet somebody who has means, it will first strat and accelerate your rising. There are people who will never get serious with God until the day you give them a salmon. You say you are preaching on Wednesday, and all of a sudden there's concordance. There's Greek and Hebrew lexical away together. There's all kinds of theirs. They reach age their phone that's out for three days. That is only a preparation to maintain your reputation, not to bless because that the opportunity will come. Unfortunately, may come inside a plane, not on the poor pit. The person who will announce you can be in a plane and God gives you an opportunity. Fifteen minutes you are with that person and God says, now is your moment. The thing about Cairo's moments is that Cairo's moments are not necessarily location dependent. You need to be prepared in season and out of season. It can happen anywhere. If you I'm asked, if you are as vagy, to suggest where God will announcing, he would not say it was on the battleground. He will probably choose somewhere else. But simply faithfulness in carrying food was what announced the warrior. They did not say that here is a competition if you can kill. A command stand allelujah. I made up my mind that every opportunity God gives me. Listen, ladies and gentlemen, I do not There is no such thing in my world as superior. Preparation and imperial preparation. I take everything with destiny seriousness. If you tell me I'm going to talk to two people, you will see me preparing us. If I'm going for a who said? Why? Number one because I love Jesus, Number two because I love the people. What number three? I understand that Chronos is the unit of Chius. Every moment as I prepare and moving closer to the cairous moment, Allelujah, Thou shall arise and have messy upon Zion for the time I have discerned that there are opportune times, the time to favor her. Yay, the exact time has come now right. A few things, so we'll find somewhere to pray. There are three things that you do to maximize time. Three things, and then will connect it with the theme for tonight. Three things. Number one. The first assignment you have as far as times and seasons are concerned, is to master the art of discerning seasons. You need discernment. The Bible says and of the sons of Isakah. Men who have an understanding of the times discern seasons. You must know how to discernd time. How do you discernd time? The word of God is the instrument of discernment. The word of God primarily is the instrument of discernment. The word of God. Is the primary instrument or discernment. Number two, study the nature of the dealings of the Spirit with you, and it can help you to point seasons you can there is a way God begins to deal with you. Suddenly, God gives you an instruction. You are going on touchy this prayer and fasting and tells you you. Are going to wake up. Every night even before personal does this Alleluia challenge. God tells you you will start your own one week before him. There are events around your life that already become pointers if you can discern. The Bible says when Jesus was born, there was a star and those who were wise men, the magi, they could read the star, and they came with precision. They were not born again, They were not led of the spirit. They use secular wisdom, using light. They came right where Jesus was. Allelujah, you can discern seasons. What is happening in my life? I noticed in the last one week everybody is giving me money. Everybody is telling me, listen. Come and do this. Someone wanted to preach, and he said, I'm busy, and you standing for me? God, what are you saying? What are you saying? Most believers do not have not trained your faculty of discernment, so we do not know when we step into very defining moments. There are people you you know that ordinarily you should not meet. Lord. Why did you give me access to be among these great people? What should I do now? And we wasted, We laugh around with it, and we leave only to find out that that door will not be open. Like that. If Joseph came before Pharaoh and said, Pharaoh, and not yet to interpret your dreams number one, go and catch forty first wife. You don't know what has happened to me. Let me tell you, and here to defend myself. You know what would have happened to him if he did. Not drop his offense and childishness and focus on the seasons. He would have said, now that I'm with you, Pharaoh, even if I die, let me die. You know how people. Behave, and you know said man has been imprisoned in X number of yes close the two years that were added as a results of the wickedness. Of the one presser. He refused to remember me, and Pharaoh's okay, i've heard you were really sorry about everything. Go back to the prison or go back to your father's house. Either way he would not have succeeded. But when he got there the ability to have prepared, and once he got there, Pharaoh said, this is my dream. And he laughed. He said, Pharaoh, it's not about cows. It's not about plans. You have seen a mystery that connects you to the loss of seasons, that there will always be seasons of plenty and of luck. Now let me recommend save twenty percent of this and that. And Pharaoh said, now you are talking. Within that moment, Joseph rose and became Prime Minister, no. Election, no voting. You would see Joseph and sayd where did you come from? Let me tell you where he came from, from the dreamer to the peace, to his faithfulness in the house of forty five. So his getting to the prison, even though he was innocent, all of them were counting for that day. Every time you see a day of favor, a day of favor. Is stifled many days of preparation. A day of manifestation that was well utilized is the cumulative. Of many many, many great days. I will never waste seasons in my life because in my mind, every day counts. Every day counts. I won't pray. I wouldn't say I'm too tired to pray today. After all, there is tomorrow. Remember, the power of the day after tomorrow comes from. The prayer of yesterday, and today is a cumulative. We continue to abort seasons because we waste our every day. You get up in the morning, you sleep. You know any time you are not serious, you are not at anything, no project. There is nothing that is running and driving your life. The Bible says to learn from Jesus. When Jesus showed up, there was nothing. In not too distracting. He has set his face like a fleet about my father's business. At age twelve, even his parents came to look for him, say why are you looking for me? Don't you go to the temple? Don't they read the scriptures? Did you not hear that I should. Be about my father's business. That sense of urgency. Now is the acceptable time, And that is true. But you see you are now He's accumulative of everything you have done with your chronos. When God announces you, it is because he has given you an opportunity to prepare. And if that season comes, ladies and gentlemen, and you are not prepared, you know what happens. Seasons will recycle again. Truly you will find out that a ram you should have entered, a door that should have opened for you. There are people who sit down and people regretting and saying, listen, I've not been promoted, I've not been lifted. This is unfair in this short. By now, by my captors, I should be a pastor. By now, I should be an apostle. By now, I should be a prophet. In factice John, because of condition, I should be rich. By now, all those explanations do not count. Every day you do this to the list of the preference you come to church, you are sweeping? Is counting? Are we together? How you use your time? For Ruth to be the wife of Boas, she didn't just appear. One year and say, listen, are you either marrying me or not? Or you're going to waste prophecy. I'm going to be a grandmother of Jesus. No. Now, we advised her and said everything you do in that field, we're coming here tomorrow because we're going to be talking about. The global harvest. Allelujah. Yes, it is the tirost moment among the many things. The greatest time in human history right now for the global harvest. But you need to draw a lesson from the life of Ruth, because naw Me told her. He said, when you get to the field, don't be disracted. There is something within the field that is for you. When you go there, be cautious. Everything you do will count. And when she went there, she gleamed with honor and respect, and the elders that the people. There was Boes there and he saw her. I said, who is this that is diligent and faithful? He said, do not hurt her, allow her to take as much as she went back to Ruth, she maximized every day until she stepped into the lineage of Jesus. John utilized every day until he got. To a point where he started wasting his chronosu offense to bitterness. And one time he said, go and tell Jesus, are you the Messiah. Or should we expect another? Jesus said, something has happened to you. Offense has come into you. And he died as a bedday gift. A prophet who profits side the Bible says, of all the prophets Isaire Jeremiah. Mighty man. Not what's like John? And look how his life ended the bed day gift for a girl dancing before the king. They went to remove his head. When I learned this principle, believe me, you go. You go to my room. Now you put on my laptop. You'll see there is a message and there is a study. There are no lazy moments in my life. If I wake up, this is the day the Lord has made. We're ready to work. I must work the works of him that sends me. He has nothing to do with invitation. He has nothing to do with ministrations. I can tell you with all due respect and humility that I have stepped into seasons in my life, and even in ministry, they didn't seem to carry a semblance of those honor. It's just that, thank God, I was prepared. There have been times I found myself in the midst of people and they said, Aposto, we're going to give you this time. You're going to talk. This is what you will talk about. There was no Bible, there there was no nothing, There was nothing. It was from the recipe of that preparation. It totally lies. I eat eat now. You will not have that opportunity. Eat now. He hit, and he went back to slit. The angel taped him. I said, don't you understand times and seasons? Eat now? And the Bible said he went forty days on the strength of what he has eating for someone. Let me tell you the assignment that God. Is giving you right now. You will not have the opportunity now that you do not yet have children. God is same. First and pray, because your first said he will be a set of twins. While you are saying amen, let me tell you you others that story away together. You will be surprised that the first six, seven, eight hours. There are many people today who, by reason of biological timing, don't have the strength again to be able. To pray and first and do certain things. While there were people who were taking care of your needs. God said, keep investing your spiritual life. But you refuse. Now, respectfully speaking, maybe your dad has gone to be with the Lord, your mom has gone to be with the Lord. The family responsibility is now on you. The time you should use to pray, and first you have to. Use it to look for money. If you understand this law of time and season. It will change your life in a way that you cannot imagine. That every day counts, every day counts, every day counts, every moment counts for someone. God can tell you, okay, while you are trusting God for a husband or a wife, quickly do the masters now, Quickly do the clacy now, because the level of commitments that it would demand of you, it can cost your home. Dutill like the time I have all the time is my life. The foolishness of a generation that has dropped has torn people down. There are others God who say I'm going to give you a great ministry. But come to oasis and sit down and look for something to do and save, and you find out that God Jim's sending you to places that are uncomfortable is because God wants you to taste of everything. You will be a leader, and you will be an oversea of a ministry. How do you lead when you do not know the dynamits of leadership? While the message is going on, God say okay, this you are locating to stand outside of the road, and that person is going to be a mighty apostle. And while you are standing someone's seisions. I used to know you on campus. Is this how you have lost your fire? If you are standing as a protocol on the road and you will fuse two feet it aha, That's how great men have bought greater destinies. You stand there and God says you'll be. Patient, and when God is done with you, someday. When you're become a great leader, someone will say, listen, I will be your biggest partner. Twenty years ago I came for Oasis conference where you're not the one who was standing at the door. God told me twenty years later, you will be a man of God as responsor it. Listen, how do I. Express this thing? Most people have aborted times, have aborted great destinies imagining Jesus kept saying I would die. Simple, It's okay. I'm going to die. That's the most important thing. Judus will betray me. I don't know when. I just know that I'm going to. Die, and then I will purchase salvation. Let's eat and drink and gentlemen, I am the savior of the world. Don't forget. I am the logos of God. I am not a false prophet. Jesus would have been surprised. It was the prayer bank, the first in bank. The commitment. You see that all the women who later help him when he. Died is because he helped them when he was alive. If he didn't help them when he was alive, his body would be there. With no body to come and clean him. Allelujah. So Number one, you must design seasons. Let me hurry up. Number two, you must know what steps to take when you come into seasons. Not every step is. Important when you get into certain defining seasons. Please listen to me. You must know what steps to take. The Bible says and of the sounds of Isaca men who had an understanding of the time and to know what is there ought to do. There is what you need to do when you come into certain seasons. For some of you, when you come into certain seasons is a call for greater levels of consecration. God will make certain demands on you on usual demands some of you as even in that season right now, you need to know what to do by the spirit, Loord, what do I need to do with this season? And God, just from now till January from twelvey three, let that be your prayer time. That is my time meeting with you. It is not a general instruction for everybody. It is just from now till January. It is to miss. Because that opportunity is where. It is, within that encounter that the real mantle for your ministry will rest on you. And if you do not know how to utilize that time. Many years ago, I used to go. To our voice quatters and carry a stick stick and stand. There and preach. I would be shouting and preaching alone. I didn't know my mother was hiding somewhere looking at me. It was later in the future she told me one day because she had been praying. My grandfather was, you know, the first trusted pioneer of the denomination, so I come from a lineage of missionaries and pastors. She had been praying that either her younger brother or her son let God use at least one person. And I was there. I would hold the sticks and I've been preaching, preaching, and when it's time, I've laid handsome blocks a many. I'm not I'm not joking, and I was safety. I'm mentioning of the Holy Spirit. Literally, if I laid hands on blocks, how stubborn. Is the head that I would lay hands on that block. Preparation, preparation for some of you. God has given you a manday that you are going to serve the purposes of God with kings. And as it is right now, God cannot announce you because announcing you will be a tragedy to your own life. So God will withhold your rising. Not every closed door is the monich. There are closed doors that are a sign of God's messy. Because you are in your chiross moment, but you. Have wasted your chronos. So God will give you a chance to start afresh again. Let's wrapper. Second Corinthians six and verse two, from where you got the thing. Second Corinthians six and verse two. It says, for I have heard of THEE in the time I accepted, and in the day of salvation I have succored THEE. It says, behold now they say now from Asi to yourself. Saying, now now is the accepted time. Behold now is the day of salvation. Now. When he was speaking about this, he was speaking with respect to salvation, the new birth, and counter we're coming there tomorrow, are we together? But for now salvation is the words so terrior, the Greek word is all encompassing, healing, lifting, breakthrough, the fullness of the life, and the power of God manifest. He says, now is the acceptable time. The acceptable time for the believer started from the time Jesus resurrected. Are we together now because you're seeing other versions? The acceptable time is. The time of His grace that now the wall has been torn, the veil has been torn, and. Now we have access in Christ. We can have access to our now the acceptable time, regardless what happened before that in Christ, today can be your day of salvation. He says, they heard the world just like we They heard the world just like we did, but the world did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. He said, today, if you hear this word, have they not your heart like they did in the wilderness. So for someone, God is speaking to you that this is your today. Today does not mean twenty four, just means your season, your season of lifting, your season of shining, your season of being announced away together now and because you know that it is your day, your prayer now will be a Lord, arise and have messy upon me for the time to favor me, for the time to lift me, or the time to open up doors for me, even the SACD time. When you know your SACD time, you maximize it by crying for messy. He says, call on to me, and I will answer. You say, messy is not for it is of the lost message that we are not consumed? Are we together? Now? Don't make a mistake of thinking. The pray of messy is for sein us. It is by the messy of God. Listen. It says, I will have messy upon whom I will have mercy. I will have compassion upon whom I will have compassion. The moment to discern your season. You know that this is a defining moment for me. You begin to pray, God, show me messy, grant me access by your spirit to maximize this season. Oh, blessed is the man who becomes a beneficiary of God's messy. I wish I had the time to open you up to the dimensions of God's messy. The messy of God does not just mean. Pardoning for and offender. No, the messy of God means to show pity, to give you a letterage. Ah ah. From the rising up the sun. To the set up the play. Lord. A few weeks ago, I just send very strongly in my heart that God will have me spend some extended time praying the night. Nights are usually my time of prayer. But I began to sense I'm rapping up now. I began to sense very strongly that a new season was going. To open up for me. And in one of the nights I was praying, I'm just washiping and I had a vision. And every time I see God lifting me or going to another dimension, I usually would see a military man. And then you know how they d military people. That's what I saw. And while I was praying, I just sends a very strong announting of the Holy Spirit, and the Lord took me to Jeremiah one. From verse nine. He says authority over nations, authority over nations to pull down toward root. There is a man to larny grece for that see having power over cities, having power. Remember in Matthew. Twenty five the parable of the five talent the reward that was given to them. There are three levels of authority that. A man can command. On a number one and is the least level his authority over things where God gives you access to money and not all of that. The second level of authority you can command in the spirit is authority over nations and territories. The highest level of authority a man can command his authority over God's program. God literally makes you with steward, not of nations, of his program. That means God will say, for the next ten years there is a harvest of one hundred million souls. You are the one I'm putting in charge of that program, allelujah. When I began to have that vision, I started praying. I said, Lord, whatever it would take, by your messy and by your grace, you are granting us access and authority over systems, over nations. Let it be for your glory. Are we together now? I'm saying this because for I believe that for God to have put. This thing now with the acceptable time for some of us when you go back home, hallelujah, challenge should not just end because it's ended. You should do your own and pray and. Pray and worship and say, Lord, the demands of this new season now with the acceptable time. Heaven has already signified through this world that it is time for you to carry greater annoying things. It is time for you to step into mantus. It is time for certain doors to be open. I pray for you that you will not make the mistake of Jakob. Chakhob said, the Lord was in this place and I knew not Man of God. Hear me. You may need to subject yourself right now taking advantage of this time business man. For some of you, you will need to settle down and pray. We're going to pray for just one minute. You don't even have to stand, whether you are seated or standing. You are going to cry onto God and say, Father, I have for some of you. You have you have misman maid your coronus. And right now that the Chiros moment has come or is coming, the truth is there is no spiritual fredness. I like you to cry from messy from heaven. Cry from messy from heaven. Cry from messy from heaven. Cry from messy from heaven. Cry to the whole lot of times than seasons. So messy your God shall pry thegether lack of varusia. Cry that bas liquorsca varousia. To cry for mercy, your God. Someone is crying. Show be messy. To maximize every day, to maximize every day, as I prepare for that defining moment. Allelujah. The Bible says he that is faithfully little, he says, he's faithfully much. If you are unfaithful in your righteous mammone, he said, who shall commit to you the true riches of the Kingdom. Let me encourage you that tomorrow, while you are coming, please invite every other person. We may not be able to have the time to pray for people. For one of the things I hope you will do tomorrow is to invoke the mercy of. God over your years, not just your body. We need to cry and say, Lord, the remaining time I have, can you place honor and grace and messy upon it that my remaining one and a half months in twenty twenty two will be like ten years put together because that something has happened to that time. You redeem time by crying for messy, that the Lord of time will do. Something upon that time. But for now, let me speak over your life. I stand in partnership with the grace that is upon this altar, and I decree and declare, by the power of the Holy Spirit, obtain grace to maximize your chronos. Obtain grace to pray, obtain grace. First, obtend place to waship, Obtain grace to be on fire, obtend grace to connect to the right people. Obtained prace to be diligious in the name of trees of time. And I declare that the spirit that is called a wasta that wastes years, any association, any relationship, anything I told you are connected to. That is the programming from hell to waste your years. I declare you are free from it right now. First or not? Is it all right to request that the people come with your prayer request tomorrow? Will that be fine? Okay? I want you tomorrow, even for your loved ones who may not make it, and for those who are falling online. I first that you also be a miracle ser this year tomorrow, so you can send in I believe, use the link the media teaming us this year. Would would would give the link You can send in your prairie requests. Please from all over the world, Europe America sending your prairie requests. We went to CORNETI here. And the God of Heaven will arise as a mighty. Terrible word in the name of Jesus Christ, the Lord bless you and the Lord increase you in Jesus name, my friend. Please will you yes? Standing? Let me just confirm what the apostle said. Let me confirm it because my spirit man just opened up right now I had shed, and because I passed through you Know of law school people
