Written For Our Learning

All right, last session for today, and we have en amissed, Apostle. Joshua sell A man an amen. Right, And I mean I've said this several times. I believe that. I okay, I believe that God through him is showing a different Okay, then put this away order of ministry that could only have come from a place of intimacy with God, because it's only intimacy with God that gives you the courage to follow a pattern that you know may not look like what everybody else is doing, and you get it's the type of results and fruits that we see in his life and ministry. So let's write stuff it as a welcome to the restaurant. Apostle Joshua. Sell Ma, Allelujah, Blessed be the name of the Lord. Amazing. We thank God for what He's done and he's still doing in this conference. I believe that for someone, God brought you here to inspire you, to show you what your life can become when you remain yielded allelujah, that you did not just come to watch, but you came to be inspired. Please allow me before I get to my session. While I came in and I sat there, I just sensed a very strong burden to do an altar call, and he kept burning in my heart, and I knew that someone was ready to make it right with Jesus. The Bible says, for God so loved the world. He didn't just love the world. He so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son. He says that whosoever there are things God gave that he would say he gave on to some. But when it has to do with the business of salvation, he says, whosoever believes that that person should not perish. It's a law that if you do believe, you will not perish, but you will have life everlasting. The life God gave us is beyond everlasting. It is his quality of life. I want to invite someone here who is in an apostle. From the start of this conference, the words have been burning like fire from within my it, and I know by the spirit of the Living God that this is my time, this is my moment. I want to give you a minute or two. If you're in this auditorium wherever you are, let me ask you to summon the courage, leave your seat and come stand right before me. Here. It's my joy and my honor to lead it to Jesus. Let's honor them as they come. Don't allow anyone to be the first leave your seat. Come to Jesus. Let's celebrate them. The Lord is convicting someone, a brother convicting a sister, and those are the overflows. Please make sure you do respond. Let's keep clapping. Covenant Nation, come to Jesus. The Bible says that whosoever believe that on him should not perish, but have life everlasting. John chapter three and verse seventeen says, for God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world to him might be saved. Let's keep clapping until they come. God bless you. God, bless you my brother, God bless you my sister. Thank you. Today it's the day of salvation. The Bible says, the word is nid in your mouth and your heart, the world of faith that we preach that if you will confess the lordship of Jesus, believing that he was raised from the dead, you shall be safe. He says, For with the heart man believes onto salvation, and with the mountain man believes onto salvation. With the heart, he believes onto righteousness. Is someone still coming? Is someone still coming? Ali Lujah, praise the name of the Lord God bless you. Keep coming. I'll lead you very quickly. I see a number of people coming from outside. Let's celebrate them as they come quickly. Allelujah. Now just a moment, let me explain something whilst they're coming. The only way to the kingdom is to acknowledge the lordship of Jesus. He is the key to the kingdom. There are the keys off the kingdom, but there is only one key to the kingdom. Jesus said, I am the Way. I am the truth, he says, and I am the like he says. No man come to the Father except through me. He called himself the door. Allelujah. And so I want to celebrate all who have come here standing before him. The Bible says, if you are not ashamed of Him before men, he will not be ashamed of you before the Father and his holy angels. And by the way, let me encourage someone who is watching from across the nations. This is your opportunity to make Jesus Us lord of your life. Now, beloved brothers and sisters, thank you for responding to this call. Let me request that you lift your right hand high above your head as a sign of surrender. Say this from the depth of your heart, believing as you confess. Say Lord Jesus, I believe that you are the son of God. I believe that you died for my sin. I believe that you rose again for my justification. Right now I receive your life into my spirit. I acknowledge you as my savior, my Lord, and my King. I declare that the power of sin, saytan hell and the grave is broken over my life. From tonight till forever. I'm a child of God. I go from gloue glory to glory, and grace to grace. Amen, let me speak a blessing upon your father. Thank you for this one. The Bible declares that as many who will come to you, you will know why it's cast away they have come. I declared by the authority of Scripture that their sins are forgiven. I call them bona fide recipients of the life of God. The grace to live the victorious Christian life is imparted upon you in Jesus' mighty name. We pray now just one instruction, very quickly, I'm told that you are to move to my right. That will be your left. From where you're standing. Their counselors waving a card, you can see them. Please do follow them. They will have a word with you quickly, and then you join us the service. Let's honor them as they go. Give them a big God bless you. Amen. Please, you may be seated, everyone, it may be seated. Made the Lord bless you, allelujah, past the most firm I son, honor, thank you, thank you so much. I have a very unique assignment tonight, and I want to work with the time that I have, and this assignment will required the attention of everyone. This was not my intended discussion tonight. I wanted to teach on something else, continuing from where we started off yesterday. But the burden of the spirit came upon me so strong, and I believe that what I'm about to share is going to be a tremendous blessing, not just to us here, but to the body of Christ. Allelujah. The only reason why I'm doing this is because it came as a strong burden in my heart. The Bible says in Romance, chapter fifteen and verse four. Romance fifteen, verse four media. Please let's walk together so we can redeem time. Thank you. It says for whatsoever things were written afore time. It says they were written for our learning, so that we, through patience and the comfort of the scripture, might find hope. So the Bible tells us that there are things that have been written a full time, and that these things were written because a generation would come in the future that would need to learn from it. Allelujah. The Bible says, the thing that is, is the thing that was, and is the thing that is to come again. We can always learn from history. And I want to just read out a series of discussions that I believe will position us to step into this prophetic season that God has brought upon our lives and that has now come upon the body of Christ. I wrote something here, and I'm going to do a lot of reading. Most of my discussion is the final session. I'm going to do a lot of reading as it sings in by the spirit to your heart. Ready. I wrote this year and I wanted to listen in discussing the subject of flights. The subject of flights, there is one factor that sustains the power to hinder the takeoff to hinder the continuity and even to hinder the arrival of any aircraft. That means, if you're discussing the subject of flight, there are many factors that are responsible for an aircraft lifting. The mechaniqus of the aircraft itself and the presence of the aircraft areway together, the airport staff doing their work, the pilot and the crew. But there is one factor that sustains the power to hinder the takeoff, the continuity, and the arrival of any aircraft, regardless the preparation. The same limitation applies to any kind of movement, whether by land, whether by sea, and weather by air, and the name of that is the weather condition. The weather condition can veto the preparedness of the aircraft, no matter how prepared the aircraft is, no matter how prepared the pilot is, no matter how dex teros they are in terms of their skill, even if it is a brand new aircraft, that all of that preparation will ultimately depend on the weather condition. Are we learning now? And the first effect of bad weather is reduced visibility. The moment there is bad weather, usually the pilots are prohibited from lifting taking off for among many reasons, they are not able to see far enough. Now, bad weather always leads to delay of flights. It can lead to cancelation of flights, and at extreme levels can lead to a plane crash. Follow I discuss whenever there is a bad weather, regardless how prepared the aircraft is, regardless how dexteros the pilot is, regardless how intelligent the crew members are, once there is a bad weather, in fact, it does not matter the kind of dignitary that wants to travel. The moment there is a bad weather, you will be forced to experience delay in flight, sometimes cancelation of the flights, and sometimes at extreme measures, a plane crash. We see the effect of weather in Mark chapter four, reading from verse thirty five to thirty nine. Every time I read this scripture, I am amazed because we're talking about Jesus here and his team. You would think, because it was Jesus, the weather would spare him. Give me that scripture please, Mark four thirty five. The same day when they even was come, the Bible says he said onto them, let us pass over to the other side. So this was a proposition for motion advancement, to make progress. Next verse were reading to thirty nine and when he had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the sheep, the Bible says, and there were also with him verse thirty six. Place so we finish up. They were also with him those in the other little ships verse thirty seven. Now the Bible says, there arose a storm of wind. That was not the initial plan they had started their journey. But somewhere along the line, the Bible says, there arose a storm of wind, and the waves beat into the sheep, so that it was now full thirty eight, And he was in the hinder part of the sheep. Jesus now asleep on a pillow, And they awake him and said, Master, caress thou not that we perish. In other words, this was not a making of ourselves. But now that we're faced with an extreme weather condition that can impede our movement, are you not concerned that we can lose our lives? That this venture can cost us our lives? Next verse, let me show you how Jesus responds to the weather. And he arose and rebuilt the wind and set to the sea. Peace shalom be still, and the wind ceased, and there was great calm if you're following, say amen. So we see from scripture that weather the weather condition even for the ego. You know, I read something interesting while preparing this note. I don't have the time to read it. I wish I did. I would have read for you something about the ego that even the ego, as bold and strong as it is, it is noted for having an ability to navigate to hash weather, but there is a level of harshness that when it gets it will resort back to stay, no matter how long, for its own safety. The ego for you, So, no matter how prepared the ego is as a bird or an aircraft is as a mechanism for flight, if the weather condition is not conducive, if the wind and the tides do not support it together, the air traffic control system will have to stop it for as long as the weather is not clear. Now my discussion begins. Many believers and high flyers are like planes waiting at the tamack for clearans to fly. I told you this is a unique assignment I have tonight, or like the eagle, waiting for extreme stormmy weathers to subside so that they can fly. There are many, many people you imagine times where there are so many planes at the time with people who are angry, impatient, waiting to catch their trips, meet up with your business meetings, and for the simple reason that the weather was not conducive, there would be grounded there no matter how long. At least. I remember once in my life I've been kept at the airport for over nine hours. That was in Illorino. So we thought it was just something. I don't want to tell you. The story doesn't look good. Somebody came and collected our plane. This is what happened. It's not that we came late. Someone came and we were with our tickets. They collected our plane and left, and they comforted us that it was going to be all right, only to live by nine or nine thirty, and people were shouting, recording angry. I just sat quietly and said, Lord, I'm grateful for being alive. Let this thing just take me home. Allelujah. Now listen, please, the current short climate it's not good weather for flights. Listen carefully. The current church climate is not good weather for flights, and if not checked, it will become a stormmy weather that may ground many destinies and stop many eagles. From soaring. The Church of God today across the nation of the earth, particularly the Church in Nigeria, can be classified. I wrote here into several groups according to their core emphasis. It will be good news at the end. So you listen, Allelujah. Let me comfort to you know. Revelation already ends by telling you there's a new Jerusalem. Number one. We have church expressions with emphasis on subjects of deliverance and demons and so on and so forth. We have expressions of the church with emphasis on success and destiny fulfillment. We have expressions within the church with emphasis on prayer and intimacy with the Holy Spirit. We have expressions like the world of faith here ably manifesting that dimension with the advocacy for the priority of the world, the supremacy of the world. We have expressions with emphasis on the prophetic please listen. We have expressions with emphasis on discipleship and mentorship. We have expressions on the apostolic usually with teachings and then science and wonders. We have emphasis on the message of grace great men like apostle Grace. Lubga is a core area. You find others like Joseph Prince, amazing people I'm calling names because it's an honorable thing to say. We're together. Now, I only mention names when I'm speaking well and speaking blessed and speaking good of people, honorable people serving the grace of God. Now, there are dimensions of the church that have an emphasis on missions. Our privileged to come from a core Orthodox background and growing up that was almost everything every Sunday prayed for missions. And everything we're doing towards missions. It's a prophetic message. I want you to listen. And then, of course, we have what we call the core Orthodox expression. I'm just classifying the Body of Christ for you according or with respect to the core areas of emphasis, and havn't brought this before you. I want you to note the following. Number one. Every one of these expressions, in my opinion, truly believe that Jesus is the Son of God. Every one of these expressions I have listed, regardless their core emphasis, in my opinion and my experience with those circles and those expressions, they believe that Jesus is the Son of God. It matters that you follow what I'm saying. Number two, every one of these expressions has a scriptural backing that supports their operation. Everyone. You go to one who has an emphasis on deliverance, he will show you scriptures that supports their operation. You go to one who is training people, raising giants, kingdom entrepreneurs, they will support what they are doing with scripture. So the second point to note is that every one of these expressions aforementioned has a scriptural backing that supports their operations. Number three, every one of these expressions have sufficient evidences and testimony to support and advocate your contunity. Are you following what I'm saying now that every one of these expressions that I mentioned, every one of them can bring you evidences and can bring you testimonies that support and advocate your continuity. So, for instance, you go to the person who is delivering people, he will bring for you evidences upon evidences or people who were oppressed were delivered. You will see before and after you go to the man who has been granted access to teach and success, he will show you how the influence of the kingdom is contributing and has contributed to the program of God. Every one of these expressions. Are we following Now you go to the man who has an emphasis on prayer, he will show you how a weak, flesh driven believer molded out through prayer like a snake molds out to have a more superior version of itself to become a powerful prophet, a powerful apostle. So every one of these expressions have sufficient evidences and sufficient testimonies to both support and advocate their continuity the points to note number four. Every one of these expressions I mentioned have significant followership to defend their core emphasis. Every one of this area, whether it's deliverance, or the Grace message, or the world of faith, they have sufficient global followership to arise should they need a rise to defend their core emphasis. I will tell you why I'm listening all this work with the spirit of God. Number five. Every one of these expressions, now listen as I say this, believe that they have the most superior and refined understanding of the Christian life as God intended. Every one of these expressions, in my experience, believe that they have the most superior and refined understanding of the Christian life. I've had the honor of living with, preaching for, and interacting with several of these expressions across the body of Christ, and we've had moments to engage in love. And I have been really, really touched by the confidence that comes from every one of these expressions. And in all honesty and with all due respect, their proposition is that they sustain, based on their experience, the most superior expression of the Christian experience. So, for instance, and with all your respect, when you meet the evangelicals, they will tell you they are at the epicenter of the will of God. The reason is because of their committalt to missions. What else can be greater than souls? And you cannot speak against it. And then you go to one wor's being granted grace for prayer, he will tell you even Jesus said, pray for the Lord of the harvest. You pray that laborers will come. Are we together now? So every one of these expressions in their proposition, believe and even emphasize that they sustain the most superior and the most refined version of the Christian faith or the Christian experience. The final points to note is that every one of these expressions have systems and structures to guarantee longevity. They have put systems and structures by wisdom, administration, results, and conviction that means that they will be here for a very long time, someone learning. Now. As much as I've told you these points to note and have broken the Body of Christ with respect to the areas of emphasis, there are three dangers that God needs help us correct and thank God for a platform like this. Please, I want you to listen. Danger number one, and I told you that the reason why the aircraft has not not been able to lift is because the weather, and we're trying to do something about the spiritual climate that has tampered with the flight of people. There are many profects in the making, apostles in the making, great ministries that are at the timarck of destiny waiting for a long time because the weather is not conducive for their flight. There are many eagles delaying by the calendar of prophecy, and the reason is because the weather is not conducive for their flight. Three dangers. Number one, the first danger that I believe the Spirit of God wants to help the body overcome is a growing hatred among Christians, including ministers of the Gospel, and that hatred is based on their spiritual affiliations, convictions, and viewpoints. It started as a subtle drive, but it is now gaining confidence and visibility. There seems to be a growing hatred among Christians, believers, including ministers of the Gospel, and it is based on spiritual affiliations. It is based on differences in convictions, and it is based on viewpoints. Danger number one. Danger number two is that there is now and even growing a gross confusion across the body of Christ as to who is correct and what viewpoint is more superior, A growing confusion as to who is correct in light of these various areas of emphasis, especially among new believers, there's so much instability in convictions, particularly among believers who are starting out. You know why, because it looks like, now that the Internet has granted access, everybody's view can be presented, and so the average believer is almost distorted in his stability. It is a danger that if not corrected, we will not sow. Some flights will not leave. If that weather remains bad and stormy and hazy, certain aircrafts will be grounded until they no longer can work. Who is learning? So danger number one has to do with the growing hatred because of the disparity of areas of emphasis. Number two, the gross confusion across the body of Christ and this is as a result of the press to know who is right or what concept should be embraced. And the confusion is a sincere one. The confusion is an attempt to work in accuracy and to not be beguiled. The average believer who sincerely loves God does not want to live and come around error around defeat, and so they're in an honest such who is right and what is right? Error danger number three. Well, I wrote here still on point two that every aspect of the Christian faith right now, and I'm not just talking of the body of Christ in Nigeria, Africa and the globe, every aspect of the Christian faith pastor is being tested and probed, including the pillers to the very pillars of the Christian faith. It is being tested, and it is being probed by all ansoundry, from nation to nation, from preacher to preacher. The pillers of Salvation are being probed, the triun nature of God, the concept of repentance, what does it take to be bonnegade? All of these concepts that were once taken for granted have come under scrutiny. Who is learning There is an ever growing probe into many Christian concepts there are new ideas being introduced. Some of those ideas are liberating, and some of them are disturbing, very disturbing. Are we learning now? The third danger that the Lord is bringing to the consciousness of the Church as we seek to soar into new prophetic dimensions and horizons, is that, sadly, God's end time program stands the risk of being threatened if discontinues. God's program of world evangelization, God's program of discipleship and transformation, God's program of societal transformation stands the risk, and in fact, in many regards, it's being threatened right now in light of some of these things three dangers, Please do not forget a growing hatred among Christians. Isn't it sad how you see some of these things that there are people who can literally sit down and just because you see a handband belonging to another ministry, or you see someone carrying you know the person becomes an enemy without knowing anything about him. There is a subtle divide and rule system that Hell is present into the Church, and if we fall for that trap, we will not fly. Are we together to the point where family members sometimes cannot see eyeball to eyeball couples have had hash disagreements on grounds of convictions, and sometimes who is for Paul and for Apollus? This is wolfbck? Are we learning gross confusion? I feel very sad, especially for new believers, because you can see the confusion, and you see because God has given grace to be articulate and to speak sound. It doesn't matter who you listen to. You will not go without an effect. It doesn't matter if you to change later on, but at the time you are listening, it will come with such compelling evidence and power. We stand risk of losing a whole generation to error and confusion. The things that are written a full time. This is not the first time it is happening. It's happened before. You read through church history, you will find out that there have been moments where these dangers were left carelessly and said and took advantage of it and aborted. Many prophetic moves of God, many awakenings and revivals fell to the carelessness of the church. Are we together now? Now? Let me present to you what I call my humble submission, and this is the core of my discussion. I started by letting you see the various expressions in the Body of Christ with respect to their emphasis. And I told you three dangers that the Lord has pointed to me to reveal to the Body of Christ in love and righteousness. That there is a growing hatred whether among ministers, among believers, and it's largely due to differences in cons and affiliations. Number Two, there is a consequent confusion that is coming upon many believers, especially younger believers, as to what is right and what path to follow. Number Three, that the program of God stands the risk of being tampered with and even a boted across many spares. On account of this, here's my humble submission. If you love Jesus, if you love the Body of Christ, then please listen. Number one, every believer in Christ, my humble submission. I believe that every believer in Christ is free to practice and advocate their beliefs and their spiritual convictions, but they must do so responsibly, showing honor and regard to other believers. This is my first submission. That it does not matter what you have chosen to be your area of focus on emphasis. Jesus himself gives us the liberty of expression. The laws of the land give us the liberty of expression, but that practicing and advocating our dimensions of belief based on the revelation of God that we have must be done responsibly, showing honor and regard to other believers. Derogatory and insightful statements against individuals against churches must be minimized, if not completely avoided. Let me tell you if this is not dealt with, there will be trouble one day believers who stand on the road and begin to fight themselves until the government is forced to interfare and says, since you cannot coordinate yourselves, you have given us liberty to come in. Are we together? I personally don't have a problem with whatever anybody feel to practice whatever dimensions shown to him. Are we together? But that is must be practiced responsibly, giving honor to other dimensions too. I cannot be sad and hate you and antagonize you just because I feel you do not hold my emphasis as your emphasis. Are we together? Now? Prays the name of the Lord. There are people prayer for one hour, two hours, five hours in their understanding of God, and I don't know how they got there, but it is useless to them. There are people who firsting for instance, it's useless. There are orders that is the epicenter of their Christian advocacy. There are orders who do not believe that giving so much investment to the world is necessarily profitable. There are orders who know that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds. Are we together now? So you see that if we want to be able to create a clear weather and take away this doctrine. Now, I hope you know the Bible calls doctrines winds two every wind of doctrine, and I tell you the cloud is not conducive for flights. Many great champions and giants have been marching time at the timak one thing to fly based on prophecy, but interrupted by all of these things. Are we learning? So my submission number one that every believer in Christ, regardless how you were mentor regardless your area of emphasis, I believe that they are free to practice and advocate their beliefs and spiritual convictions, albeit that they must do so responsibly, showing honor and regard to other believers. There are people I've met, I have a few friends. We don't necessarily agree in everything, but it's too smallly reason to met out hatred on one another. Are we together? Now? I have gone to preach in several places. I have my reservations over everything. There. There are people who love me, but they have their reservations over certain principles and practices. But that is not enough reason to make out hatred. It to end up. You see, let me tell you. When the weather is bad, all planes stay down. Whether you are Krem, whether you are British airways, The weather affects everyone. Nobody has a unique privilege of flying under a bad weather. If the problem is with the wrong way, smaller planes can leverage on that and fly. But we're talking of a weather problem. All planes will be affected. All eagles will be affected. Are we learning the use of derogatory and insightful statements against individuals against churches? It must be minimized, if not avoided. Nigeria has such a unique apostolic grace that whatever is birthed here become sol to the world. It spreads like wildfire. Let us be where lest we lose out of an opportunity to reflect Christ and to reveal Him with all grace and honor. Number two, I have to hurry up. Who is learning My humble submission Number two is that I do not believe these various short expressions will diminish. I do not believe all of these expressions, regardless how far apart they are, I do not believe they will diminish, not in influence nor in strength of convictions. I have read my Bible. Everything men fought, regardless how they fought it, it didn't die. All the various expressions we see today, I submit to you, as a student of scripture, a student of history, and by the privilege of access to the wisdom of the Spirit, will still be here for a very long time, still in influence and in strength of conviction. The truth is that many in these circles will switch convictions, but many will still maintain their stand on what they believe, and that must be respected. Are we together listen, Fighting, wishing and advocating the degeneration or the downfall of any church expression will only prove to be a waste of time To fight secretly or openly, to wish secretly or openly to desire the degeneration and the downfall of any church expression. Either based on the fact that you do not agree with your advocacy, I tell you in advance prophetically, so it will end up being a waste of time. One time the disciples heard that there was another camp that we're performing miracles and we're doing certain things, and Jesus was there, and they asked Jesus, They said, you can allow this kind of thing to be happening. He said, please give us the permission to command fire to bond those people once sam for all, so that it will be clear who is Jesus and who is for him? And Jesus said, do you not know what manner of spirit you have? Are we together? Now? There's a statement that Jesus made in the Bible that if you look at it contextually, you would think he's talking about poverty, but there is a prophetic meaning to it. He says, the poor you will always have with you, Selah, the poor you will always have with you. Why would Jesus make such a statement, the poor you will always have with you. I think the time that is taken to wish for and advocate the degeneration of other expressions in the Body of Christ can be invested in intercession. That if you believe that a brother or another ministry or a man of God has not seen correctly. Shouting and advocating your annoyance will not change. Why don't you deploy intercession? The Bible says, from the time after we heard of it, we cease not to pray. That is the first response of a believer. You cease not to pray? Who is learning? Number three? Let's hurry up. Let me give you my third submission. Are you ready? Let us give truth room to vindicate itself. Let us give truth room to vindicate itself. Truth was buried in the grave. After three days, it came back to life on its own, on assisted. If we have to ask to assist truth. The character of truth is that it has a system of self defense. Truth for you. Second Corinthians, Chapter thirteen and US eight says, for we can do nothing against the truth. We can do nothing against the truth. If worship is the truth, it will not die, sir. If praying in tongues is the truth, it will not die. If discipleship is the truth, it will not die. If prayer is the truth, it will not die. You can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. Who is learning? First Corinthians, Chapter three, From these ten, let me hurry up. From verse ten, let's see if we can, It says, according to the grace of God, listen which is given on to me, as say, wives, Master builder, I have laid the foundation walfback, and another builded upon, it says, But let every man take it how he builded there upon. Eleven, it says, for other foundation, can no man lay than that which is already laid, even Christ Jesus Verst. Twelve. Now, if any man build upon that foundation goal, the Bible acknowledges that the building will not be of the same material. He already tells you that some will be able to outsource gold the extent of the superiority of their building material. Orthers will use silver, orthers will use precious stones. Sadly, others will use wood. Orthers will even use hay. And the Bible recognizes that all of it is an attempt to make that building. There is already a system in the wisdom of God to vet what is true. Next verse, the Bible says, every man's work, how many, doesn't matter what you believe, doesn't matter what you agree with or don't agree with. It says, every man's work shall be made manifest, for the day shall declae, because it shall be revealed by fire, and the fire shall try every man's work, of what sort it is. There is already a system in the economy of God to frustrate everything that frustrates God's program. God would not design a system with so much loopholes as were suffering to try to part. It took his intelligence to build the church. He said, I will build my church. The church is not as weak as we make it look. It is a product of God's intelligence. Let's respect the intelligence and the investment that went into building the church. Are we together? Remember someone saw the aarc of God and it looked like he was going to fall, and attempted to help. He died. Truth has the ability to defend itself has the ability. I think it was in the afternoon when I went. I was listening to Apostle Grace. He was sharing his content, and I was so touched speaking about the fact that, you know, persecutions and all of this have come on account of the Grace message that he has communicated, and he's so intelligently and articulately put those groupings. You know, it was such an intelligent presentation of it. But you know, I can't tell you even if you doubt it. You see the work can be tried by fire. You cannot fight what is of God. It will stand. It doesn't matter how you go around it. It will stand. Are we together? The world of faith has been fought. It's been fought. Read history, missions have been fought, and Peroneero gathered people together. If you read the Book of Acts, chapter five, I hope you know that when they kept their apostles, an angel came and brought them out, and they said, these guys are here again. We're going to learn a lesson from the wisdom of a strange man called Gamaliel. Gamaliel gave a counsel that the body of most listen to Are we together? The things that are written a full time? This problem has happened before. Let us heed to the counsel of Gamaliel at chapter five, from verse thirty four. If God is helping you, say amen. He says. There stood one of the counsel, a pharisee named Gamaliel, a doctor in the law. He had a reputation among all the people, and commander to put the apostles forth a little space Aha, reading to thirty nine, and he said on to them, can we read NIV. Please help me with NIV. I want us to see this from NIV media, same scripture NIV. God is helping the body of Christ because after this conference someone is going to soar. You will suddenly find out that the weather across the body of Christ is becoming clear, clear for prophecy to speak in your life, clear for you to rise. Let's continue. Addressed the men and said consider carefully. So they wanted to kill the apostles. That was the plan to kill them because they were advocating something they were not comfortable with. And Gamaliel gave a warning. He said, consider carefully what you intend to do to this man. Verse six. He began to give illustrations. Illustration number one. Some time ago, Theodorees appeared claiming to be somebody, and about four hundred men rally to him. You don't have to be real to be followed. Any thought line that has persuasion, confidence, and a system of defense will attract some kind of followership. But Gamalia is saying, no, I need to teach you something. I may not believe these apostles, but I am a doctor I have experienced. Let's learn from history, he said. Four hundred men rallied around him. Watch this. He was killed and all his followers were dispassed, and it came to nothing. Example number two. After him, are you saying that it did not start? Now? After him? Judas the Galilean appeared in the days of the Census and led a band of people in revolt. He too was killed and his followers were scattered verse thirty eight. Therefore, on account of history I present in the present case, I advise that you leave this man alone. Let them go, for if their purpose or activity is of human origin, help me. It will work, It will work, it will fail next verse thirty nine. But if it is from God, If for any reason it is from God, you will not be able to stop this man. You will only find yourself fighting against Preachers must simply present the truths then no one believe, and allow it to be tested against the truth. Present the truth. If God has granted you the healing ministry, present the Jesus that heals, and let him defend. Let the truth there defend itself. Developing personal hatred because of differences will only lead us to confusion. Let us give truth room to defend itself. Number four. Let's hurry up. Who is learning tonight. Now hear this. Here is the balance within the boundary of loyalty and willful submission. Preach us owe it to protect the people commit to them against on necessary distructions. Within the boundary of loyalty and willful submission, Preach us ow it to protect the people committed to them against on necessary distractions. At twenty At chapter twenty and verse twenty eight, it says, take heed to yourselves. At twenty twenty eight. Take heed to yourself, he says, and to the flock over which the Holy goals made you oversee us, it says, to feed the Church of God, which he had purchased with his own blood. I love the people God has brought under my care, and as much as I have a contribution to helping the body of Christ stand, my priority with respect to my call is to see that my people are fed well. And as far as the dimension of God committed to misconcern, I will serve them with grace and excellence. The day I learn more it will reflect that in their growth too. No man of God should be chieldless and allow your sheep under haven't said we should allow truth? And bringing this to balance it are we together within the boundary of loyalty and willful submission. Preachers owe it to protect the people committed to them. Let me tell you this, if you are a preacher, sustain the courage to protect the people God has given you. It's not insecurity, it's responsibility. Number five. There's a prayer point at the end of this. Are ready my fifth submission? We must all obtain grace. Hey, listen to this one, say man. First, we must all obtain grace to confront and deal with our fears, our insecurities, our hurts, and our pain so that we do not vent it out through the platform of churche and preaching. You see, let me tell you this. There are many people whose trouble has nothing to do with denomination or the problems on It is a problem of childhood. They were hot, they are we together now and you see. Psychology teaches us that when you are hot and wounded, you will look for any platform to give your pain expression. And if it happens to be on the pulp, it's sorry for those who listen to you. If it happens to be in your company, sorry for those who work under you. There are people who get angry with your staff, angry with people. Their best is not enough. When you probe, you find out it has nothing to do with the secretary. The secretary is just escape good. Responding to a man's twenty year paid that only the spirit of God can heal someone, say I receive healing. Say it on behalf of the body of Christ. I receive healing. Only wounded people wound orders. If Joseph were not healed, he would kill his brothers. The reason why he could not kill his brothers is because he was healed. Throw me in a dry well and then forty first wife, who are own trouble? Again? If I were Joseph, if I come out of that prison, who do you think I'll call first? But the man was healed. Let me tell you the truth. The healing anointing goes beyond physical healing. There are many people who need healing that will be traced back to ten years, twenty years, fifty years when your father said you would not make it. Now that you have become a CEO, it's an opportunity to rob off that statement on your subordinates. And you know the thing about spirituality is that because the Holy Ghost and I walk with him is personal. We give him the credit for all the nonsense we mix. But what he said and what came from our pain, and we presented the word of God is able to divide, to go beyond the are we together the bone marrows. You can see that Joshua Salmon is preaching. From here to here is the counsel of God. From here to here is his pain. He's on his own board. Can and Abel are there while he's preaching, and you know Ken is older than Abel. Listen, I hope you're not josh shouting. This is a prophetic message. Listen. Obtain grace. Don't be ashamed of your childhood. Obtain grace to confront and deal with your fears. Obtain grace to deal with your insecurities. Obtain grace to deal with your hearts. Obtain grace to deal with your pain so that you would not bleed it out to innocent people. There are parents to they who have wounded their children. It has nothing to do with the child. The child in them, the one who was told will never make It is seeking for someone to dominate over and if it happens to be your wife, or your child, or your members or other ministerial people. Let me tell you the truth. Many things we have credited to the Holy Ghost. I can tell you from your authority of scripture. The character of our behavior shows he has no hand in it. The Bible defines the modus operandi of the spirit. Just because he's invisible does not mean he's scathed. There is a rhythm to his behavior. The word of God opens up the way the spirit behaves. How then, do you discern? How does Solomon discern? Was it not when he carried the sword? The word of God is a disserner six. Every believer, and indeed every faith expression within the body of Christ, must define and probe their statement of faith. You see, when God speaks prophetically like this is because he's in the future. Every believer and every faith expression in Cooinonia. There's what we call the Koinonia believer, and the meaning of that is to define to every believer what you are becoming by submitting to disgrace. We use the word of God to paint a picture. This is the kind of Christian you are becoming if you are mentored through this platform, and if you don't like it, you know immediately. There's something called cost curriculum is that right, and it's intended to give the student a picture of what you will become after the training. It's not only the lecturer that knows what the students will become. The student can have a idea of what you become based on the cost Corri column. Listen, we need to redefine our statement of faith. The average believer in Nigeria cannot articulate clearly what he believes. In my training with the Anglican we were taught something we call the Apostles Creed. You still remember it is a statement in defense of what you believe, Luke. Chapter one, My time is of my apologies from verse one. Let me show you something and then we'll pray for as much as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which were most surely believed, most surely believed verse two, even as they delivered them onto us, which from the beginning where eyewitnesses and ministers of the world verse three. Now it seemed good to me also haven't had perfect onunderstanding of all things from the very first, to write onto you in order most excellently offerers believe us. Shout verse four with all your heart ready want to go, that thou might test know the certainty of those things wherein thou hast been instructed. Don't just mentor believers paint a picture. What do you believe? What do you not believe? There has to be clarity. There are things I believed before I don't believe again. There are things I didn't believe before I believe now. There are things I didn't believe before. I still don't believe them. There are things I believe before, I still believe them. I have a creed that governs my life. This is where my convictions come from. A believer that does not have a statement of faith is one who will be tossed to and fro. It's better to be honestly wrong so that you can know what to counsel and what to add. Who is learning. You want the tie to clear so that the flight will happen. You must define your statement of faith. Let me give you the last and then we'll pray. This was the message. God interrupted my plan two days and weeks to plan what I wanted to do tonight. But God just came and brought this, And like Paul, necessity is laid on me. If I neglect this instruction, my heart and my conscience will not give me peace. What is the fourth submission? Work in love. Even in the midst of different views, we can work in love. The Bible says three profound things about love. Number one, it calls it the more excellent way first contents that entertain. The more excellent way of doing anything is to do it in love. The more excellent way of preaching preach in love. The more excellent way of doing business do it in love. The more excellent way of correct in correct in love. The more excellent word of building build in love. Love is the more excellent way. If you've tried other strategies, why don't you try love? Number two. The second thing the Bible says about love very quickly, is that love is the no blessed spiritual quality any believer can manifest Coloshians, chapter three, twelve to fourteen. Love not power, love even faith that is the core that just lives by that faith. The Bible says, faith worked by love. If you have a love problem, it will naturally degenerate into a faith problem. Are we together? Coloshan chapter three twelve to fourteen. Just write for reference, the no blessed quality a believer can manifest is love. In fact, I wrote here that the highest proof of transformation is not knowledge but love. The proof you are really transformed is not spiritual intelligence necessarily, but love. Every growth that has to take away love from your life as the price is not God ordain. Growth. Growth that comes from God, by God and in keeping with His principles, will necessitate that the love of God also grows in you. Are we together prays the name of the Lord, Ladies and gentlemen. The Lord gave me this for the body of Christ, that in addressing some of these dangers, in addressing some of this, and you know, I submit to you that my sincere pain. Now I've not been so so long in ministry. This year will make it twenty years. I've not been in ministry for so long. Ah, But I can tell you this by the grace of God. Listen, please, a twenty year old anything is an adult, at least relative to fathers. We are children, but at least we have something to say after this long by the message of God. I've had the honor of preaching across almost any and every denomination whose emphasis was listed here. And I can tell you one thing. Love never fails. There are people today who will invite you to their platform, not necessarily because of what you are going to share. You carry a dimension of love that becomes profitable for the growth of their organization. And you still remain an asset even if you don't have what to say. Are we learning? I made up my mind not just because my name is the way to love, that I will work by the law of love. As you see me like this bar, hate tred is too heavy for my head. There's no reason for me to sleep when I lie down. If I'm not sleeping, I'm walking or maybe praying. But if that is not the case, oh he gave it his beloved sleep this man, you see now, you'll not find me away for worry. It's a non necessary luggage some of you right now, as he stands, it is the one thing that has stopped you from rising. You praying tongues. But there is no love, no love at all. And see, when you talk about the matters of love, for many believers, it sounds elementary if you are talking prayer firsting, that's right, you are talking serious things. But when love sounds feminine, what are you know? And yet that is what killed and destroyed, seems satan. It was not power, it was love. Where power failed, love continued. Jesus would have used his power to send ten thousand angels, but he said no, this is beyond power. He moved past the realm of love and died to save us. Power would have saved him, but not us. It was love that saved all of us together. Allelujah. It is my honest desire, beyond being a preacher, that as God grands us grace and as our influence continues to grow, that by His messy will be modal enough for the Body of Christ to be able to correct some of these imbalances, so that when we stand by faith, we stand in love. Do you know that the destinations may differ, but all planes live from the same airport. The one going to Enugu still starts from Legos, The one going to my degree still starts from Legos, the one going to Abuja. Are we together now? The tamark was meant for everyone. Once you take the flight, you can diverge to your various areas of calling, but at the point of take off and landing is the same airport. Imagine the body of Christ without a grace like pastor Poju. Imagine the body of Christ without pastor and most fair one apostle, Grace Luberger, Joshua Selman, you think I won't call my name, Imagine the body of Christ without a minister doing it. Are we together? My time is up here me he that hath an ear. Now rise up and hold hands one scripture, and then will pray. Allelujah. Please hold hands with someone. We need to produce prayer together because in the name of Jesus, that's Tommy Win will clear over the church and several flights, prophectic flights, Apostolic flights, worship of flights, business flights, all kinds of flights will begin to take place, and the eagles that have long overstayed on the ground hanging around the ground, will now find room to fly. Whether affects everything, it doesn't matter what you believe. If the church remains, is told me whether it will affect you, If it does not affect you, to affect your wife, who is connected to you, your child who is connected to you, their school which is connected to you, their business which is connected to you. Genesis chapter eight, from verse one to three. This is what God is doing with tonight's teaching, and God remembered Noah and every living thing and all the cattle that was with him in the act. As a result, God made a wind to has over the earth, and the waters are swatched verse two. And the fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven also stopped, and rain from heaven was restrained verse three. And the water has returned from of the earth continually. And after the end of the one hundred and fifty days, the waters were abated. All the animals could now come out. Those who fly could fly, Those could go out could go out because the Lord remembered Noah. Let me tell you, ladies and gentlemen, at the end of it, the only person who will be put to shame is Satan. Did you hear what I said? At the end of it, it will not be the Orthodox search, It will not be the world of Faith, It will not be the Pentecostals, it will not be the Charismatics. I submit to you that we're operating at different levels of light, that for sure, and the lights that we have determines the kinds of results and the exploits that come. It says the people have seen a great light, but even if the believer has the least light, it is a contribution to the body that should be respected. If you saw Saul when you was soul, you would not think you would be an asset to the body. Let us give those who have lesser light a chance to see it and grow while we enjoy the abundance of light that God has brought through conferences like Wlfbeck. Do not allow your growth bring a superiority mentality that you go back and someone is preaching, and you say this reverend in this church preaching nonsense. No, if God took time to show you light, it took you ten years to find the light. Be patient. There are people today who may not be at this sight of higher light. But be patient. The Holy Ghost is working. If you don't trust the church, trust the spirit of God. One prayer point, Father, visit the body of Christ. Bring back love, bring back honor, advance your program through the church. Open your mouth and pray. Restore love, Restore love, restore love. Let the stormmy wings that have come as a result of deference in doctrines, Let the confusion that has come as a result of the various perspectives we have seen, Let it not tamp up with the glory of the church. Please pray. This is the final session. One minute we're praying. Shot me comparatiata and pray take paratos yata in the name of Jesus. Listen, honestly, I tell you sincerely, are not because he's here. This is the reason why I respect an honor past to Pudu for the discernment to be able to spread his hand away together now and reach out to the furthest of convictions. It is a risk to open up your platform at a global scale and allow people to come and stand here without verty knowing that there can be differences. It is because he trusts the stability of the spirits. I think we should honor him for that. Sincerely, sincerely, sincerely, hallelujah. Let me sub me to you, Let me sub me to you. And I was born in this country. I didn't come from overseas. I've lived long enough by the messages of God. I've been to pastors conferences, I've been to many meetings. I do not know so many meetings that have this heterogeneous collection of people across the body of Christ and serving God's grace from various perspectives. What you cannot learn from Joshua Selman. You will learn from a postal Grace Lubeger what you cannot learn from a person. Grace Lubeger, you will learn from Pastor Pordu himself what you cannot learn from past to port you. By the time do sing raises that song, you will hear something through his worship. You see, this is what enhances growth. By the time this conference is ended, it is a little here, a little there, a lid to here, and you have become a stature. Allelujah. Prays the name of the Lord. Prays the name of the Lord. I'm going to speak over your life. Oh I see Pe Daniels, May God bless you. Thank you. Now, these are the kinds of things we're saying. Is a man of God in his only God, having the great work that God is doing through his life. But the honest shamefulness to come and sit and learn, knowing that there is more is the character of champions. Let me tell you this. Let me tell you this. The days of celebrity Christianity has come to an end. Thank God for Joshua Selman. But there are things I do not know. By the messes of God. I've known God too much to be that stupid to believe I know everything. No, I will submit myself to the things I do not know. If I find something that challenges my thoughts, I will examine it openheartedly like a Brian. Are we together? Let me tell you the truth. Every man of God that serves the grace of God, that you know is worthy of your honor, beginning from your paston. Do not be part of the campaign that down place what God is doing. I see a sis pastor today an elder. If he's holding something, I will hold it for him. I see one of my old reverences. I don't care whether I'm appost to Joshua Selman. If he's carrying something, I will carry it, put it on my head. When I go for crusades and meeting somewhere, I thank the pastors. There are the reasons why members came for our programs. We are there for a few days and we go, but the people are there to stay. They may not have so much light, But what of your character, what of their discipline? I come from the North. I've seen people die for the gospel. I've seen people bond for the gospel. They had an opportunity for deliverance. But they say, if I will be delivered, they lot let me die. We can praying tongues. What can you stand They may not have praying tongues, but can you watch a sword where they pierce your body one by one and we are still singing him? Still you die. We have something to learn from everybody. North, learn what you need to learn from the South. Humble yourself, South, learn from the North. Learn from the East. Pentecostals. If you cannot learn anointing and healing, let character from orthodogs, lend character and stability. There is always something to learn. In the name of Jesus, we agree as the body of Christ. Satanan, you have lost it over the church in Nigeria from the North to the South. Is to the West, Saturn, you have lost it over the church. We pray for the church in Africa, from Ghana to South Africa, to Uganda to KaiA. In the name of Jesus, with the clear and declare we are a united, indomitable force serving the purposes of God. That even though we are different, and we are still on a project to access in light, it will not be enough reason for hatred. It will not be enough reason for fighting the spirit of handred is banished from the church, Banish from the church, Banish from the church, Banish from the church, banished from the church, banished from the church, Banish from the church, in the name of Jesus. Where the prospect would respect the apostle, where the apostle would respect the teacher, where the teacher would respect the evangelist, Where the evangelists would respect the businessman, Where the business man would respect the leader, where the leader would respect the politician. Because when all is said and done, is from the same time we have lifted that time acts is Jesus himself. The corners told the man, we
