Matthew four sixteen. Matthew chapter four and verse sixteen. The Bible says, the people which sat in darkness saw great light. And to them which sat in the region and shadows of death. Light is from up. If that is your shout aloud aby. The Second Scripture, John chapter eight and verse thirty two. John eight thirty two, it says. And ye I'll know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. I will read it one more time, and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. For those of you who have followed our teachings closely, I think in the last. One month. It's been embody in my heart, as God has granted me the grace to travel teaching on this very subject of light. Because I believe that our excelling in the. Kingdom depends on the kind and the quality of the. Knowledge that we have. Are eluya. No believer is truly going to manifest in experience the power, the grace, the glory of God in ignorance. In fact, even if you act action in ignorance is not faith. What gives your action credit ability is that it is acted based. That action is based on understanding. I submit to you that so many people across the body of Christ are very ignorant as to the way the system of the Kingdom works. Now, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ has very sincere people, men and women, sincere families, sincere ministers of God, sincere businessmen, but not many people have taken our time to really understand the requirement for. An excelling life. So our crystal experience is largely full of gaps. And we'll hope that will stumble across information or. Access to some kind of lights that. Can help us produce beauty and color. And you see that's not the way it works. Allelujah. First Simulte chapter two, Please from verse one to four, very profound scripture. From Paul first Timote, Chapter two. Please give us from verse one to four the verse of emphasis verse four. But let's start from verse one first. Ti voty two. I had thought therefore that first of all supplications, prayer, intercessions, and giving of thanks being made for all men Verse two, for kings and for all that are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all goodness. And honesty a street. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God, our Savior. Let's read verse all together. If you can see. Ready, one to read Who will have all men to be saved and to come. On to the knowledge of the truth? One more time? Who will have all men. To be saved and to come on to the knowledge of the truth? Teaching today and tomorrow. And the title of my teaching is ye shall know the Truth? Allelujah. So the Bible here says that there are two principal desires in the heart of God. Number one, that all men be saved. When it has to do with salvation, there are many dimensions captured in salvation. Healing is an aspect of salvation. Deliverance from oppression is an aspect of salvation. Breakthrough restoration, but specifically salvation from sin, from hell, from death, and the grip. Of Satan, the translation from. The kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of light, the Kingdom of his dear son. This is what the Bible is saying here, that God desires for all men, regardless tribe, regardless gene, that regardless your social pedigree, desires that. All men be saved. And then in addition to being saved, this immediately tells you that what you call the new birth experience is not the whole experience. It only ashes you to begive the journey of your spirit work. Are we together now when we believe that all it takes is to give our lives to Jesus, as we say, and we come there, we are going to live very frustrating and ineffective Christian lives. This is the experience of many people. When you say those who are saved, if you know you've confessed Jesus as your Lord and savior, most people will stand up. But if you ask how many people are truly living a life of purpose. Victory, grace, and join their Christian experience, and how many people have seen that which is written become true in their lives, very few people will rise. You see that. So the Bible says God desires. Number one that all men be saved, and then number two that all men come on to the knowledge of the truth, onto the knowledge of the truth. That means you can be saved and not know the truth. You can be saved tren knowingly saved and not know the truth. The truth about your victory in Christ, the truth about how faith works, the truth about the devil, the truth about God, the truth about life are we together, the truth about your health, the truth about your destiny. It says that the moment a man takes that initial step to make Jesus lord of his life, your next assignment, as far as manifesting the victory of the kingdom is concerned, is to be to pursue truth. And when Jesus was speaking, is that scientify them by thy truth? He says, Thy word is truth, Thy word is truth, Thy word is truth. Allelujah. Conferences like this are designed to be number one times of intense prayer where. We submit ourselves to pray. But conferences like this are a feast of light. Where God brings life applicable truths, truths. That will serve as ladders and help us to accent height. It's not just in the spirit, but in life and in destiny. You can sample two believers, one by my left and the other by my right, and all of them will testify that they have been saved. Yet you look at the quality. Of your lives, spiritually, financially, even within the context of society, and you find out that one on one side maybe living a very defited Christian life, a life that does not give in true representation of the victory that is in Christ, whereas the other one is living such an excelling life, a life that compels praise. Maybe I should tell us that it is important for us to know that our results and our excellingy in the kingdom is important for God. I want to get it now. If you do not know this, the passion to press to see your life rise to a higher point of. Excellence may not be there. Let me give you three your four scriptures. Number one is Matthew chapter five, from verse thirteen to sixteen. We are the salt of the earth, he says. But if the salt have lost it several wherewith shall it be salted? It is tense, good for nothing but to be cast out and to be trodden on the foot of men. Fourteen says he are the light of the world is a city that is set on. A hill that cannot be hit. Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick and a given light to all who are in the house. Final verse. Let your light so shine before men. You can read it with me, that they may see your good works. And you see that now they will not glorify your father if they do not see your good works. So you truly want God to be glorified. It's more than singing it in a special number. Singing be glorified as a song is wonderful, but when your life does the singing, it becomes a more powerful rendition. Away together that when men see your good deeds. They will glorify your Father, which is in heaven. Scripture number two Gallatians one twenty four. Simple board proofs the scripture Galicians one twenty four. Let's read it together. Ready want to read and they glorify God in me one more time, and. They glorify God in me. So God can be glorified in and truey man, that your life becomes an. Epiecele literally an epiecele. That when people look at your life, they are compelled to the workings of the spirity in your life to give glory to God. Alleluja. Are you ready for the third Scripture? Efficient chapter three and verse ten. Efficients three and verse ten. Let's read together? Ready one to read to the intent that now onto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the Church the maneyful wisdom of God. So the Bible tells us that the feelers of the wisdom of God are not spelling somewhere, They are not angels somewhere. It is a very church of the Lord that is. Saddled with the responsibility of manifesting the manifold or multiverseted wisdom of God. There is a level of wisdom. That should emanate from the Church. Are we together? The Bible calls it the wisdom of God. Find out Scripture John chapter one, six and seven. John chapter one is God helping us already? John Chapter one, six and seven. Now read verse six, then will read verse seven together. This is the universal mandate. Of every believer. It doesn't matter if you are a pastor, you are a businessman, you're a career person, you are a family person, does not matter the geography of your assignment. This right here should be the creed of every believer. There was a man sent from God. His name was John. Please read with me verse seven. Ready one to read the same came for a weakness to. Bear, weakness of the light, that all men to him might believe. There is something called weakness of the light, witness of the light, wikness of the light. That a man can be, the weakness of the light. That man, through the efficacy of your weakness might believe. That means if my life and your life remains varying important, we are robbing God of a dimension of glory that he should enjoy. Are we together now? When the lights, the beauty, the grace of God immanates from your life is more than just being a successful person. That is too small a reason God would not invest his life, invest his blood in there's this name, invests. This Holy spirit just to make men successful for the fun of it. No, the Bible says he does these things for his namesake, Allelujah. It then means your life is a salmon that was prepared by God. And there was someone. Who had been mandated to understand and to listen to that samon. If your life does not reveal the glory and the power of God, there's someone who may never have the opportunity to know God and to give praises to God in and through your life. The meaning of all this is that from tonight's in the name of Jesus, your life will stop being an object of shame and reproach that everything that has made God men doubt God in your life, it would change. In this contrast, in the name of Jesus Christ, he desires that all men be saved. So you see, when a believer is not saved, trying to give that individual, or when an individual is not saved and you are trying, no matter what you do to an individual as an addition to improving his life, if it comes before salvation, you. Are wasting your time on that individual. The profiting of any other spiritual investment on an individual, it only becomes rich and wise. If that individual is a believer. Are we together? That means if you are mentoring somebody who is not even saved in the first place, ultimately you are wasting your time because that person is still a bona fide candidate of thatkness. On legal ground, Satan has authority to perfect that person. Are we together? The only escape route given officially that translates a man to a realm where it becomes illegal for Satan and. Any on clan speriod to reach them is salvation. You can praise for a nonbeliever who will seek and you will be healed. You can minister deliverance to a nonbeliever who has all manner of demonic oppressions. You can counsel an unbeliever. But all these will prove to be temporary solutions. Before Jesus died, he healed, but he still died. That's to tell you that healing was not the ultimate. Before Jesus died, he is still minister to the sink. But everybody who was healed. Everybody who was delivered, had to be saved to be free. Are we together now? So, in order of priority, your greatest passion for anyone you see is number one, that they be saved. Now, God will heal, God will prosper. What I'm saying, every other investment and contribution to the life of an individual is truly, from an internal perspective, a risk until that individual. Now it can provide suko. For instance, if you go and help the less privileged away together, if you provide food and bread for them. The Bible says pure religion and non defile. These days, you know to help the media and the poor, so there is a place for that. But if you truly love an individual and you want to help that individual, your greatest commitment is to see that person. Say, getting individual saved is not the issue of is beyond just the passion to be evangelistic in your approach. Most believers have not learned the value of salvation to an individual's destiny is more than just escaping from hell. Is more than just having your name written in the Lamb's book of life. It is the only way are we together now? Yes, your official exits from darkness, from the grip of Satan and every other thing that has come with that darkness. So there are. Many people who will prefer to enjoy every other profession and blessing in the kingdom, accept the salvation. Of their souls. And somehow we have programmed ourselves. To believe that if I put three people here and I minister healing for the one and the person is ill, we will rejoice and we will roll on the ground and worship God, and I minister deliverance, and demons are casted out of this one and then to this one. I leading to. Jesus in our minds and subliminally we are being programmed if we are to arrange those miracles. We usually will give credit to the miracle of healing because it is most charismatic. I'm spectacular. But in this conference, God is helping us to understand that the greatest of the three has been the salvation of that man, as quiet, as basic as it looks, a real translation just happened from the kingdom of darkness into the. Kingdom of his dear son. Allelujah. So God desires that all men be saved. That means if your child is not saved, it is your number one project. If your husband is not saved, don't just think and say, Lord, giving. Me a house. Those things are wonderful, but from an internal standpoint, you see, ladies and gentlemen, if you do, if you do not have the lens of the spirit to interpret life, you will focus your life and your attention on so. Many mundane things. A man seeses to breathe in about ten minutes medical is speaking and the person is declarct dead. It does not matter what was walking. It only finds it funny when you are alive. Are we together? There are many people on their way to hell, reach, but on their way to hell. Heal what's on your way to hell? Intelligence, but you're on their way to hell. So just praying for breakthrough and increase and prosperity is these things are all wonderful, but very high. That the individual is saved, trust, then every other blessing now becomes an at debt advantage. Are we together? So God desires who are working that scripture now that all men be saved. And whilst you are listening, if you've not made how do you get saved? Do you know? As as simple as the matter of salvation is, you will be surprised that the average believer cannot tell you how an individual becomes a believer. You are not saved just because you came to church. Now, coming to church increases your potential to be saved because you have an opportunity to hear the world the. Gospel preage are we together? And encounter with a pastor does not give you eternal life? And encounter with a good Church does not give you eternal life. In fact and encounter with them, Bible does not give it and a life. This is a book that was produced by a publishing house. Is a compendium of historic materials. There are many people who are unsafe, and they are more Bibles than you in your homes. Some of them are historians. Some of them, in fact, their research that gave them PhD was around religion. And yet they are not saying. They are no more Bible history than you may know in all your tips of ministry together, and yet they are not saved. So when Jesus came, he made it clear and straight the pathway to salvation. And I want you to just lend me two or three minutes. God is helping the choice to come into maturity. And I want to tell you without missing words, how an individual gets saved before we continue, so that if you have not passed through that route, you can be sure you are not safe. David. If you were crying while the preacher was preaching, you are still not saying. There are people that Jesus credited to descend that we're not far from the kingdom. Standing near my house does not bring you inside my house away together. Now there are beggars that hang around very nice houses. It does not automatically qualify them there. So Nicodemos came to Jesus by night John chapter three, and he said, Rabbi, verse two, we know that doubt. That a man sent from God. He says, for no man can do these miracles. Accept God be with him. Then Jesus said, verily, very I say unto you. Accept a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God. And Nicodemos said, how can this be? Can a man enter a second time into his mother's woman be born? Then he said verse five, I say unto you again, Except a man be born of water and of the spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God. But six, that which is born of flesh is flesh. That which is born of the spirit his spirit. Now first forward to verse sixteen. Still springing to Nico. Deimos, he said, for God so loved the world John three sixteen, that he gave his only begotten son. Now, when you are going this contributed intelligence, you cannot say his only begotten son, because Jesus is no longer his only begotten son. He is now the first begotten of with the brethren. We are also songs of God now all together. Yes, So the Bible says that who soever watch this now, this blessing is for whosoever Eoruba evil, How's American, European, who soever believed on him, not on it, believe it on him. You need to believe in a person, not just an information. It takes more than an information. The information is about a person, but your faith must be on that person Jesus Christ. Who's so ever believe that in him, should not perish, but have everlasted life Verse seventeen. For God did not set his son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved. Can I show you one more scripture? Romance chapter ten. Let's go to verse ten or Romance chapter ten, eight to ten. It's important to make it clear what does it take. For a man to be saved biblically? But what say and eat? The world is nidi even in thy mouth and in thy heart. That is a word of faith which we preach verse. Nine that if thou shalt confess, please say confess one more time. They confess confess with thy mouth. So your mouth has a role to play in your being saved. You don't let it take salvation? Are we together? With thy mouth you confess the Lord Jesus Christ, And thou shalt believe with thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou. Shalt be saved. Verse ten, He says, for with the heart man believed onto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made onto salvation. So God designed the system for administering salvation. Search that number one you will have to acknowledge. You see the chronigal song came to himself and said, how many higher servants as my father. And I am here feeding with the swine. He didn't have the power to change his tatles, but he had the power to decide. That one is given to any man. God will not force salvation on you. You cannot. You don't have the power to translate yourself, but you have the power to decide. Are together. The young boy got up and began to walk back home. That one was within his power, like when I make the altar call it down, is within your power to stand up or to leave your seat to came one? God has given you. The power is the power of your will. You can use your will and reject Jesus consciously, and you will respect your decision. Allelujah. So God desires that all men be saved. I say this. Because just because you have sincere people in church does not mean they are saved. It takes more than a nice heart and a wonderful, trouble free individual. That does not equal salvation. There are many people who will not look for your trouble. They really are very sincere people, in fact wonderful, but they are still going to hell. Are we together now? Yes? Jesus said, I am the way, not we are the way. There are many ways, but there is only one Jesus. I am the way. I am the truth, and I am the like. No man says comment to the Father except by me. Jesus also said, I I'm the door. What does that mean the authorized access into the kingdom. If you claim you are in the kingdom. And you follow that another door that is not Jesus number one, you are in the wrong place. Because if you jump through the fence and you enter my house, you are in my house, but you are not welcome. You are most likely a thief. Am I right on that The way into my house is not the fence, the door is an authorized access. Jesus also said, I am the good shepherd. He says, the good shepherd lays down his life for his sheep. You need to know all the things. Jesus said, he was, and he is as far as your salvation is concerned. So Paul was teaching his son Timothy, and it says God desires that. All men, that includes your spouse, all men, that includes your driver, all men that includes your workers, all men, all men be saved. And then when salvash the matter of new birth is certain, we can now delve into other areas. So you see that salvation is very important. But as important as new birth is, please let me have your attention. As important as new birth is, it is not the untimate of the believer's journey. It is only an initiation. It begins the process of working in the kingdom. Are we together? The next assignment for any believer that gets saved is not just to keep this Bible and come to church just ordinarily and go back and say, after all, and in Christian there is need for efficiency. So the Bible says the second desire, that means, where you are saved, you satisfy one. Great desire in the heart of God for you. The second desire is that the same old men that they come onto the knowledge of the truth because you see this life you have received, and this kingdom that we are part. Of, excellingly neat is knowledge dependants. Please, if you're writing, write that down that. Excelling in the kingdom is knowledge dependant. You can fail and fail so wofully that it does not there There will not seem to be anything in your life that is an advantage of eternal life. Because of ignorance. Your next assignment is to be on the postuted campaign to damage spiritual ignorance. Now this leads me to the discussion on darkness. Let's talk a bit about darkness. The word darkness is a very interesting world. The first mention of it is found in Genesis, chapter one and verse two. Genesis one, verse two one, Verse one says in the beginning. God created the. Heavens and the earth, or the heaven and the Earth. Verse too, it says, and the earth was without form. Watch this now and void and darkness. This is the first mention of the word darkness was upon the face of the deep, and the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Verse three now says, and God said, let there be light, and there was light. So from scripture we see that the first assignment, as far as bringing beauty and glory to the heath is concerned, was to do something about darkness. Watch this, are we together now? Yes. For as long as there was darkness, nothing. Else could happen, the issue of man and creation and nature, it. Could not even be appreciated. When God came to the same the first thing he did was darkness, you need to go. And the moment darkness departed, then every other thing could come. And that was the first time we began to see the mention. And it was good, and it was good. Because darkness was no longer there, and it was good. God made this in light, and it was good. The word darkness in scripture connotes many many meanings, but two essentially. Number one, darkness is always related to ignorance. Please write that down. Darkness, according to scripture, is always related to ignorance. The definition of darkness is the absence of light, always related to ignorance. Number two, darkness is always connected to evil. So every time, no, in most cases, except for a few exceptions, whenever you read about darkness. In scripture it talks about ignorance, and then number two, it talks about evil in its entirety, in whatever form or fashion. Allelujah. And you know from scripture and even from science that in the presence of darkness there are many negative effects. For instance, darkness affects vision. If the lights in this entire auditorium were put off, you will not be able to see. Is that true? Yes, With your eyes sound and correct, you will still not be able to see or see properly. So darkness affects vision. Number two, darkness affects speed. Think of what happens to your headlamp in the night, Assuming you're on your way from any. Location, it llegals to any location, and. Then for whatever reason, maybe a fuse or something goes bad and your headlamp does not work. It doesn't matter whether you are driving a Bentley, a Rose Royce, a Golf, a Boss. It does not matter at that point the deciding factor as first your speed is concerned. It's not the quality of the make of the vehicle. The absence of light can limit you. You will have to slow down. And hope that you will arrive home safely. And may God help you that is not really with thunder and all kinds of things are we together? Darkness affects speed. That means when you're dwelling the rep of darkness, you will crawl your way to destiny and never be able to do anything that is of substance and of work. And this is the case with so many people. They have the advantage of days, but no accomplishments captured in their days. Calendar years keep coming and recycling again and again, and there. Is nothing constructing at all. But one of the most disturbing effects of darkness is that darkness all has identity. In the pres sense of darkness, you cannot really know who is who. A light skinned person may carry an interpretation like a dark person. Are we together? A male can look like a female, An old woman who desire respect can look like a child. You can mistaken a small child for an adult. There is always confusion in the presence of darkness. You cannot accord the honor that is two men in darkness. That reminds me. Of the story of Jacob. That should be Genesis twenty nine. When you read from verse twenty two, it was in darkness that that exchange was an excent happened having worked for labor for his wife. His wife, based on his desire, was Rachel. But drama happened because there was darkness. Remember that story. The man got up in the morning when light came and said, what is this? I really wonder what happened that. You can't imagine what darkness happened? I mean, darkness happened to that man, and in his mind he thought that he was with Rachel, only for him to wake up in the morney and said, what have you done to me? Did I not serve you for Rachel? He said, you have begout me because of darkness. Darkness can misrepresent you. You are a king and a. Priest, But darkness can give you another identity that is far from what God has said you are. Darkness can make you look weak. Darkness can make you look limited. It can all tie your identity no wonder. The Bible says in Psalm eighty two hundreds five, they know not, neither will they understand. They walk on in darkness, and all the foundations of the earth are out. Of course the success I have said, ye are gods, and all of you are children of the most High. But you shall die like mayor men and fall like one of these princes. How many great champions have been bound by darkness? Look at the mad man named Gadara. That man was a great evangelist. But look what the kind of identity. Till today we do not know his name except with research through history. Darkness was so much upon him. There was no mention of the name his mother gave him. Only God knows how many people would have been called named after that great evangelist, but darkness simply called him the madman in Gadara. Is that a name? Was the man not here? Why did his name change? When we're talking. About the man who saved many who still called him the mad man in Gadara? Allelujah. Darkness can create all kinds of names. The woman with the issue of. Lord Ah, the crippled man at Bethesda. Darkness gives people names that their parents did not give them, that God did not give them. What of the name Ecapor? No mother would name a child like that. Only one mention of a woman who was angry at the situation of a child and. Named him Javez. And the gentleman said, no, oh, that that would just bless me. I can't carry this stigma. This is not me. I'm saying this because for someone here you came for this conference. What you see in your dreams. And visions is not what is a pearing in your dreams and visions? And by prophecy that they told you. There were certain prophecies upon your life as you were born, but there is absolutely nothing like it. Today in your life. A prophecy of glory, a prophecy of grace, a prophecy of greatness. But what is happening in your life now is like that rejected's told people use you to counsel others. To say, if you must fail, don't even bee like Susu swan soul. In the name of Jesus, I don't know who has carried that shame and that reproaching your life. I call upon my God. That that reproach was live your life permanent, Allelujah. There was a man in. The Bible in John chapter five, I wish you together. The Bible says that man was lying down close to a pool called Pesta for thirty eight years, no friend so posedly, no family members. They didn't a woman give back to him. This is what darkness can do to men left the man a lord for thirty eighty years. I'm sure people would pass and tell their children, who were now adults, remember when you were born, we passed and this man was here, and they said, daddy, but this man is still dere till now. And people just nod their head and passed. And one time a stranger. Just walks up to him and Jesus said, why are you in this condition? What can I do for you? And he said, I have no man. Darkness can take away good people from your life. Joe, who was the wealthiest man in the east, Please listen carefully, the wealthiest man in the east. He had all kinds of people, herds and children. The moment his children died and everything left him, his relatives, his family members, everybody deserted. He The last and only person who was standing with him was his wife. There are some of you right now. When you call your son name, people are surprised while you are in that situation because there are so many people connected to you in the place of influence. But darkness has. Made people to reject you, and you've been isolated and left alone. Tonight you have come to know the truth in the name of Jesus, the assignment of. The truth is to make you free. Every time I read about the mad man in Gadara, I feel so sad. The Bible says the man caught himself lacerating himself day and. Night bound by this week catch speriens. Allelujah. Tenty years ago, I was in Protacot and I remember going. It was a company I was to meet someone there and true story the woman, I think one of the women. She was dressed, you know these security companies that were outsourced, and I remember just asking her to help me read someone and let the person know that I have come, you know, as we're having an appointment with him. And I looked at the woman. She sounded so brilliant, and God is my witness. The woman told me that she was wrapping up her PhD. Not not to insult the job, but not for that status. This is what darkness can do. It can all tie your identity that when someone looks at you, he says you were where you were twenty years You were full of life. I thought by now you would don't great things for the kingdom? What reduce you to look like yesterday? This is the case with many people. Darkness can truly alter your identity, that the glory and the grace that should imanate from your life is no longer seen. And people look at you and it's like you are a testament of wolves and reproach. So when Jesus, when God said, let them be light, that is a real miracle. Let ye be light means let your tears come to an end. Let yet be light, listen, Let them be life means that the reign of darkness over your life misrepresenting you. Whose house are you going to? This woman, don't go there if you want to make it, don't go near that house. There is a spirit in that house that any body that enters there goes down and people begin to avoid you. There are many of you you are carrying. You know, said something in joking in passing that there were two kinds of boats in the Bible, and there were two men that entered that boat. Somebody entered the boat. He didn't insult anybody, he didn't look for trouble. He just carried his spirit into the boat. And people started going down. They lost their properties, they lost everything, and not that person was in the boat, and were both of them were sleeping. Allelujah, darkness. Darkness represents evil in his entirety. I have seen families with graduates for many years that none of. Them can end up to ten twenty thousand in a boat, and. You will see a woman who labeled and gave back to children hands, some gentlemen, beautiful ladies, and yet no door opened. Darkness is dangerous. Listen as we begin. To pray, to make sure you don't keep quiet, get angry and say, this thing has to live my life, this reproach that has come upon my life. That is called darkness. The woman with the issue of blood? Is that a name? The mad man in God? Is that your name? No? Every child is named that birth. What happened to these people that their problems replace their names? That's what darkness can do. It can carry your problem and replace your name a name that means beauty and color. There are people who forget your identity and tie you to something. That family where nobody rises, that family where all the ladies is like their cause they're coming to the life of any man. He goes down that family where the gentlemen and the women, and no, no, you have to insist that life will come to change that identity for as long as it was darkness. Listen, Jacob did not know which was Lea or Rachel. But when it was money the arrival of light, he could see clearly Allelujah. When you tolerate darkness in your life, you will live a defeated Christian life. I told you that darkness in scripture essentially represents ignorance and evil. That means the assignment of light is. To deal with these two things, to deal with evil, but to deal with ignorance. Most believers only focus on the evil part, the evil spirits, but they do not focus on the fact that darkness is also ignorance. You can cast his stility in one moment, you don't cast ignorance in one moment. Away, Together with one declaration in the name of Jesus, an evil spirit that has fermented individuals can go. But it is a process to drive darkness as ignorance, and many believers do not have the discipline to stay and get the truth that brings them liberty. Indeed, Jesus said, and ye shall know the truth. And the truth that you know, and you are engaged by faith, is what will set you free. That the truth can make men free. Are we together are we learning now, how do you know the presence of darkness in your life? By searching around for every aspect in your life that is inconsistent with what the world of God's said should be. It tells you that there might be thatness roaming around. Any aspect of your life that is inconsistent with the written word inconsistent with the spoken word must be an area of immediate project, because it only tells you that darkness is roaming around there. This is a call to take responsibility. Listen carefully. When you tolerate darkness, you permitted to grow. I hope you know darkness can grow, Yes, sir. The Bible says for darkness shall cover the earth that is a level. Then when it grows, it becomes cross darkness the people. It first comes as darkness, but when you're admitted to complacency and giving of excuses, it now begins to grow until it's called cross darkness. So Isaac sixty and one says, arise, shine, your light is come, and the glory of the Lord. Is the reason. Upon you. It says for darkness shall cover the earth and gross darkness the people, But upon you the Lord shall arise upon the and his glory shall be seen upon them. Allelujah, prays the name of the Lord. So I want you to settle it for a fact, before we begin to deal with all the aspects of the kingdom that the Bible caused light, It's important for you to know that the limiting factor in the life of many people is either number one they are not saved, or number two. If and when they are saved, then there is the reign of darkness in their lives. Darkness has the manifestation of Satanic forces, evil spirits. We catch spirits or darkness as ignorance, most likely both. When you want to deal with darkness, it takes more than administering deliverance. You can cast the spirit, but if your mind is not transformed. Are we together now? You are still in darkness. Spirits are not the only tests of darkness. Ignorance is also that even if when there is no spirit there, and when there is ignorance there, the spirits can still return because darkness will invite them. Your ignorance will give them the access to come back again. If you're understanding what I'm teaching, you say amen. So, of course, of where do I start from? That you are unsaved? You need Jesus in a hurry. When that decision is made, then the next decision is to be ready and to be willing to embrace the ministry of the Holy Spirit, to embrace the world of God, and then to begin a radical journey of an lighted and lighting men. Efficient chapter one place from verse sixteen, I cease not to give thanks for you, making. Mention of you in my prayers. He says that the God of our Lord, Jesus Christ, the fauna of glory, may give on to you, help me the spirit of wisdom in the and revelation, in the knowledge of heath, aging the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, amplified as flooded with light, that we may know what is the hope of his calling, and what is the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints nineteen now and what is the exceeding greatness of His power to us world will believe according to the working of His mighty power. Where do I start from? The determination to eradicate darkness in. All forms and fashion? And it stands number one, by commanding, by the blood of Jesus and by the name that these spirit influences that have come to represent and. Darkness in and around your life. And that's one you will experience it in this conference. But then the responsibility of launching a messless campaign against darkness, darkness dwelling as ignorance. The Bible says in OZ Chapter four and verse six, My people are destroyed for the lack of knowledge. My people are destroyed for the lack of knowledge efficients for eighteen having their understanding dark you see their ephicients for eighteen. Being and your nature from the life. Of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness. Of your hearts. There are many miracles in the Bible that the Bible will record that there were places Jesus did not heal them, did not hear or he heals some. There were places the Bible say he healed all. But I have studied my Bible, and there was no blind man in scripture who met Jesus and went without healing. Jesus took the subject of blindness personal to a point that he prayed for one person twice. Jesus, who hardly prayed for one person twice. If he met you once, that was it. But he was insistent on seeing that a man's blindness left him, he prayed for him and said, oh, this is the situation now, he said, I see, but it's not clear. I see, he said, no, I'll not tolerate that little darkness left. I would still pray again. I see men like chries. He said, no, men are not tries. They can't be like trees. But they are not trees. He prayed for him again. Jesus had zero tolerance for darkness. I went together light. Why are things not working in my life? I loved the Lord with all my heart? But what is the key to one excelling life? What is the key to dominion? What is the key to a life of grace? What is the key to longevity? What is the key to breaking free from these yolks of darkness? It's not my fault that I was born from the family. I was born from most I suffered the limitations because I was born there. There has to be a way to liberty. Ladies and gentlemen, please hear me. Just because you have dwelt around darkness for a long time does not mean that lights cannot set you free. Let me give you an example that many of you who listen to my teachings. I've given these examples time and again. Imagine with me a room that has been dark. For six years. You have that in your mind, Dak, for six years, no one has put the ball on. Imagine another room that has been dark since last year. No one entered that room. Two rooms now, Imagine a room that has been dark since last week, no one tried to put the lights on. Imagine a room that has been dark since this morning. We have four rooms. Now many years, six years, one year ago, one week ago, a few hours ago. Now, assuming there is a central command that switches on the balls. When you switch on the ball, and it's supposed to affect all four rooms, which. Of the rooms will be lead first help me. That means no matter how long the room has been dark, if it is authentic light, dot colt the tiny, the longevity of the darkness does not matter. If that room is not lit, something is wrong. I just dramatized John one five for you. For the Bible says the light shine it in the darkness. And the darkness comprehended it not. There has never been a time where light and darkness sun down. To discuss and negotiate the presence of true light is the immediate excess of darkness. Do you believe this? When I found this key, I became a student of light. I said, I would. Take responsibility for my life, and no matter how long it would take, I would be a student of scripture until life and radicate darkness, darkness that can tie a glorious and a beautiful life and render you to be helpless and look hopeless. You need to take responsibility A possible. Are you aware of the kind of darkness and witchcraft and wickedness in my family? I assure you it is because true light has not come there. When true light comes, you will see the power that raves Christ from the dead over. Precipalities, and which is Listen, you. Know when people talk about of course, I understand that people are in pain, and sometimes they say a possible. I know that you've been doing this thing, but you don't know the kind of problem in my family, And I say, you think so, do you know the kind of problem that was in my own? Everybody man problem? There are no there are no empty mountains. There are always giants on every mountain. So because you met your own giants and we've killed our own don't make a mistake and things. When you see a clean mountain, what's happened there? Well, there were giants that were subdued. There are no empty mountains anywhere. Every family had devil somewhere. If you find them silent, they were made to be quiet, It says now tensely. To God, which causes us all ways to tryumph are we together? Because sometimes we don't contend for light that brings drifting, because we like to attract simple and said, my case is a special case. I submit to you by the authority of Scripture that there have been no body's case was worse than Job's case in the Bible, at least not in modern history. That I know that one day, look. At the tragedy that came to a man's life, your children, your estates, your business. In one day, he was the headline everywhere. Joe. Some would say that that's power. You went to collect it. Now it has finally. Caught up with you. And then as if that was not enough, then boils began to come out. Imagine you were married to social man. People who look at you and advise and say, you. Are still there. This guy's already there. Don't blame her for saying court God and die. Would she spread the rest of our life there? And Job said, no of them. You can say all you want to say, but all the days of my appointed time I will wait. But I love I loved Joe. Chapter forty two and verse ten, he says, and God restored. This is the God we're talking about. God turned the captivity of Joe when he prayed for his friends, and the Lord gave Joe twice as much as he had before. That for someone. By December, when you come here for service, your testimony will be your tears of joy. Is the neghbor Jesus, the son of the next job. Do you believe this. God is able to turn the lives of men around. Don't get too used to darkness. It's been there for twenty years. But let light come and you'll see what will happen. And you see the product of light. The battle says. The world of God is quick and powerful when it comes. It can do it quick work. I know that you should have had a job for ten twenty years, but in one day God can give you a job that is equivalent to ten people's jobs. Is the thing with. God is that light comes in its various dimensions. It can come as restoration, it can much. Healing, It can come as breakthrough, It can come as say, or it can come as speed. It is still light. I just named the many things that will start happening to you from tonight. For someone is for someone's restoration in the name of Jesus, the son of the Living God. Praise the name of the Lord. But the responsibility of crying and praying. For lights your personal responsibility. Are we together now? Yes, you have to be angry with your current position. You have to be angry with the fact that your life has been ineffected as far as bringing glory to God and insists to take responsibility. That every area that looks like dress in my life listed down, take response ability. This is beyond just hearing his salmon, this. Finance, this wicked evil satanic dreams, this favor upon. My life, that someone vows to bless me, and then I go. To his office and it's as if something came upon him to forget. What is the secret of favor? What is the secret of speed? What is the secret of restoration? How do I have five children and not one of them is reason and strong and able to bless me. Yet someone to elf said, blesses the man that feared the Lord that delighted greatly in his commands. He said, his seed shall be mighty upon earth, and the generation of the upright shall be blessed. Wealth and riches shall be in his house and his righteousness. And just forever you take that responsibility. Allelujah. The Bible says, he shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free John seventeen seventeen. Sanctify them by thy truth. Thy word is truth. So the truth that translates as light and liberates the says, please hear me. I'm trying to be as simple as possible, because I want everybody to understand. The truth that the Bible calls light is the word of God. But when you hear the word of God, the word of God means many things. Number one, the word of God is truth, as revealed from Scripture. The word of God also represents the speakings of God. To you, are we together now? Yes? So both the spoken word and the written word are profitable to give us tature, to bring us liberty, and to help us to. Command triumph and dominion. Inexperience light, for instance, Deuteronomy, chapter twenty eight and verse one. Life is coming now, and it shall come to pass. If thou, Joshua Salman, shalt diligently haken onto the voice of the Lord to do and to observe all his commandments which I commanded this day, that the Lord that God will set you on high. Listen to me. The first time I read this scripture, I was in one room, and. I believe it. I believe it. I believe it. I believe it with all my heart. That if a man believes the word of the Lord and finds the secret that leads men, you can be lifted at both all the nations of the earth, and this blessing shall come upon you and overtake you. Let's list the blessings I hope you are learning. Please give it to us. Blessed shall thou be. Legos is not not the name of your city? So why is everything rejecting you in Legos? Why? Why is everybody running away from you? Why you may be a man of God, but why is. Everything you are sincere You are working with integrity, loving the Lord, but it looks like nothing is working. Blessed shall now be in the city blessed shall thou be in the field. Next verse blessed shall be the fruit of your body. Please mother, say amen. That means no woman is permitted to soften and give back to a numbrother, or to give back to a prostitute or a trouble maker that is playing society. The Bible says, the fruit of your body is blessed. Blessed is the fruit of your ground, regardless. The economic situation. This is what life says. Listen, you don't agree when you see it. You are played with God and believing and engage his ward to see things change. Verse five, blessed shall be thy basket and thy storm. Verse six. Now, blessed shall thou be when thou comest in, And blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out. I wish I had time. We can spend it all day. On this scripture. There are people who are only blessed when they go out. They are not blessed when they come in. There are people who are only blessed when they're in. They are never blessed when they go out. The Bible says, a man who is truly blessed must be blessed when it comes in, and bless when it goes out. Whether you are in legals, you are in US, you are in Canada, you are in America, you are in your village. For as long as you are the one moving, the Bible says that blessing must follow you. And I saw that in the life of Abraham. When Lord left and when to settle near Sudom, the Lord told him, from where thou at left of your eyes nor ward east words that everywhere your soul you know your eyes see, it shall be give. It's not like a vision. That I mean, what kind of thing? How can I be preaching in the name of the Lord? And then I'm don't preaching? The obeyming George and oppressed me in my room. What sort of authority is this? I knew that my authority was not He was not yet established, and I had to go and fish out scriptures like arrows. There has to be away. Behold, I give you. Authority, power over snakes and scorpions and all the powers of the enemy. Are we together that we have been exalted. With Christ, about principalities, powers, every name, thrones, dominions. Yes, Sir, I put these things. Together, and I meditated upon them. I believed it. I remember very clearly that night when the light entered my spirit. I didn't pray and access spirits to go. I pleaded with them as show up again till till tomorrow. They have not come. Let me tell you, ladies and gentlemen, I don't. Mean to brag, but darkness only looks bold when it makes ignorance. There is a level of light illumination that shines upon your heart. You will see how cheap satan is. Allelujah, Oh, nobody rises in Legos. If you don't know this man, and this man, you will not rise. That is what darkness is as bold. That's your ignorance makes it look. If you go for knowledge, you can really right the things that people say. The things I'm telling you, by the grace of God, have proven it with my own life. So I'm not just here to waste your time and give you conningly device tables. This is true. Are we together? When light comes? It brings with it confidence. You know that God is not a man that you should lie, not the son of man that you should repent. The Bible says, gentiles shall come to my light. When I read it, I believe it. So I kept looking out for gentiles until they came. And the Bible says it's not only gentiles, even their kings who come. And I said, let me prepare because their kings are coming. This is what I listen. Your spiritual reality is dependent on the lights, the truth that comes to you that you know, you understand, and you believe. My assignment tonight is just to show you where diagnosing the problem. By tomorrow I'll begin to show you the various like components that help it believer to stand victorious all together. The assignment tonight is to just show us what is wrong. That every aspect of my life that is yet to represent the glory of. God is only soul because. Darkness is still somewhere looming around my life. See if I can bring you to a point where you accept that responsibility tonight, you. Are ready for victory? Are possible? I may have working person. These humans have done my best. The only thing I've not done is to steal. The money does not want to come to me. This is what I'm. Saying, Are we together now? There are parents who will not even give their own children money, and yet they will package it and come and say, Man of God, I've been looking for you. I just want to bless you. And you are wondering is this fair? But you see, our realities are defined by the lights that we command. Hallelujah. I know a whole. Family, true story, a whole family that mysteriously just had HIV. Yes, whole family. And it's started by someone having a dream where someone came with a syringe and said this one is blood infected and injected the person in the dream, and the person woke up physically and then symptoms started. They went to the hospital and they said, you've had this for a long time. You did not know. How did he come? How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost, and with power he went about everything my father has not planted in the name of Jesus Christ. Whether I see your blood and your body, I declae and declare, he must go down this night. These are the keys that controlled dominion. In experience is one thing to talk dominion. It's another thing to walk the reality of it. The dominion power of God has equal value in any nation, because the same Lord is rich onto all. There is something that when you find a body of truth, that when you find ladies and gentlemen, you will command the annointing in a way that will surprise you. There is a body of truth that when you find, a generation must listen to you. There is a. Body of truth that when you find you will become such a blessing to people. There is a body of truth that when you find you will become Pula and Hez by a delight some land. There is a body of truth that when you find you can know that no nation can reject you. It does not matter your sentiments. There is a body of truth that you find you will command wealth and abundance in a way that people would think you went. Away habilist or you caught a human head. Do you believe this? You are gathered tonight because God is determined, determined to see to it that this the products of life. Speaking your life. But the a agree with darkness right where you are seated, whether outside or inside, and those fallen online. I wanted to imagine for one minute the various areas of darkness in your life that I've refused to go and take responsibility. I have left it. That is why the reason why a job has not come is because I have been going around dropping my CV, but I have not dropped my CV on the world. I'm yet to find the company. The Bible says that one time the owner of the vineyard was inviting men to come to the vineyard, and he found some people idle, and he said, why, citizen thou idle? They said, no, man employers. Immediately he called them and they were brought in. See, the kingdom only walks from the lens of the lights you have Allelujah? Do you believe that? Of course I'm a good person, but people don't like me. No body is liked by default. The world is too wicked for people to just like you by default. There is a grace, the light of God's faithor that comes upon the face of a man, that will compel people to like you from nation to nation. But there is a body of truth that controls that. Do you understand, my teacher tonight, that darkness is responsible for most of the chaos in our lives, and that this darkness is twofold one spiritual forces that melitates against the purposes of God in your life, and then number two darkness manifestiness, ignorance, bankruptcy of spiritual knowledge, bankruptcy of understanding is called darkness. Among the many disasters of darkness, the worst is that it gives you a false identity. This is not me, This life is not me. No, this greaproach does not belong to me. I'm carrying another that man's destiny. Where is my destiny, that destiny that represents beauty. And color and grace and power. You're with me? Say amen, you must get angry at darkness and make up your mind. You're a man of God here. You must make up your mind by the spirit that ministry must work for me. The Bible says, to give diligence to these things, to make your calling and your elections show. It is your responsibility to stop men from doubting the call of God upon your life. And you do that by studying to show yourself a proof onto God. A workman that needed not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the world of truth. Allelujah. Business and things are not working. Is time for you to find out from the world of God. This is darkness. Every time you see what does not make manifest, what brings fear, what keeps spirits at work in your life? Everything that is sponsored by ignorance is called darkness, and you must get angry in the name of Jesus and take responsibility. Why am I not able to feed and take care of my family? The Bible says, any man that cannot cater for his family has denied the faith and is worse than an infidel. I am not an infidel. You say, what is this joblessness, this embarrassment. There has to be a way out, and will be on a journey searching for light. And that light shines through darkness, and in a moment you drive away darkness only to give road to glory and grace and power. So Jesus looks at the man at Bethesda and says. Stand up, pick up your ben, walk away. That was the end of it. That is the light of the world. Allelujah. You see. The beautiful thing about light is that true light does not say. The sun has been shining before any of us arrived here, and it has never needed assistance. Your phone, because it was artificially made, you need to recharge it no matter how bright it shine. Some of us. Your phone is on four percent now three percent one is almost song is even off. You have to can come back, but not for now. But the sun when it is back in Nigeria. As far as the Sun is concerned, there has never been darkness in its economy. Darkness is simply a product of geography. If you ask the Sun where is darkness, you say, I don't know. From the day I was established, I have never seen it. It is simply the rotation of the earth that is responsible for that theory we have today. As far as the Sun is concerned, it does not rise, it does not go down darkness. It does not share dominion with darkness. If you go and ask the Son to lecture you, the Son will say, from the time the earth was created, there has only been light. And you say, but you are lying. You say, well, based on where you live. But as far as I am concerned, as the Sun, are we together? Now, how do you tell the Sun that there was once darkness? I respect you, but you are lying based on my reality. You are lying. There has never been darkness. God, this is powerful, my goodness. So if your life becomes like that song, even if you are in Egypt, there will be light in Goshen where that's there's darkness everywhere, And people will ask you and say, how is this happening to you? That we know that things they are downsizing, and this is happening. But it looks like you have used the word of God to create and not that kind of reality. Now you understand what it means by lett your light, so shine before men. If God is asking your life to shine, light does not shine in light, it shines in barkness. Are we together now? There was the parable of the lost coin. There's no time to touch on. That would deal with that tomorrow, And the Bible says, somebody who had a valuable treasure of coin coin can help you to buy things. And it was lost. It was in the room, but he could not find it. And for as long as he could not find it, there was nothing he could do. The Bible says, the first approach to that restoration was the man lit his candle. Then number two he took it through and. He started sweeping in the presence of light until he found it. And he called everybody and said, come and rejoice with me. Light has helped me to find something that is mind is in the room, but not in my hands. Light can help you find your job that is in legos, but not yet in your hand. Light can help you find your health that is around, but not yet in your life. Everything that should be in your life is already within your domain. It takes light to seish your portion and bring it to you. Allelujah, till today, until forever, I remain a students of scripture. Do you know why? Because I'm on a project to not spare anything that looks like darkness. In my life. I consistently upgrade. You see, you can't have light, and yet your light is not bright enough. So you continue learning, you continue growing, you continue beauty. You don't say I have a little light. Phone has light, but it's not enough to light this place. So if you depend on your phone lighted, you will never know the beauty of this auditorium. It takes lights, high level light place at various positions. If you have light in only one area of your life, that will be the only area. You'll be able to see. You'll see that the lights here are placed across several places. And that's why they're giving us light. We can see everywhere the beauty of this auditorium. Ladisten and gentlemen, you are going to cry on to God and say, this area of darkness that has dwelt in my life, that has dwelt in my finances, my marriage, my health. In the name of Jesus, the Son of the Living God, I will still show you one more scripture to wrap up God whilst you are seated, and like you to pray. Father, I am ready to deal with darkness. I am ready in the name of Jesus, every spirit that represents darkness in my life and my destiny. Now is the time, and now is the moment you must leave. And I like you to pray. Every ignorance, bankruptcy of truth that was the true light, that. Light at every man. Go ahead and pray. Someone pray m. Shave ack up our lack of subrand gaveldis yes, sir. The Lord is hearing you, Man of God. The Lord is hearing you, hearing your. Crime, darkness in ministry, badness in your health, thatadness in your finances. It's time for it to go. In the name of Jesus, that. The grace and the glory of the Lord that has been or dead to ride here from your life. It must show up. I have allowed the reign of darkness for far too long. I now take responsibility. Hallelujah, hallelujah. First three, that chapter two Hundus nine. But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood and holy nation, a peculiar people that you should show forth the praises of Him. Listen, let me tell you this years ago. I remember one day I was meditating on this scripture and I'm saying this to the glory of God. And I remember in that vision, while I was meditating, it was a dream, I would say, and I slept and I saw myself standing before presidents. Of nations and shaking hands and they were greeting. And when I came back, I said, wow. And then I read this script again, and the Lord told me that if you will get light, this will be your destiny, that you will stand before the great. Looking back today, I'm almost in tears because God does not lie. They see God does not lie. That the people you think are great will look at you and call you great because light elevated you to an enviable. Position where you become an inspiration to generations. There are many things I do not believe, because if there are products of ignorance, for instance, that you cannot rise from where you are, then the world celebrate the grace of God upon your life. Please don't believe that I went together. Let's finish that screature first Peter two and verse nine. But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood and holy nation and peculiar people that you should show forth the praises of Him that have called you out of darkness? What did he call you into? What did he call you into? So when he calls men out of darkness? What makes you spectacular? It's not just the size of your body, not your voice, not necessarily your looks. It is that you are surrounded. By marvelous lights, so much light that darkness cannot come again. You don't tell darkness go, You tell lights come. When light comes, darkness goes. Is that true? So many of us have dwelt in darkness for fat law, and the Lord is challenging you right now, get angry. Identify the areas of darkness, and insist that in this conference, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, it must live way. There are many things, as I wrap up, that qualify to be called darkness. Let me list some of them for you in case you are forgotten. Are you ready? Number one? Disfavor is darkness. Delay is darkness. Retrogression is darkness. Plagues of sicknesses and. Infirmity, darkness, oppressions of witchcraft and all kinds of things, Darkness, stagnation, limitation, It's called darkness. The inability to make constructive progress in your life, darkness. Financial limitations. Darkness. Are we together dress that you go to bed and you cannot. Sleep in peace? You wake up more tired than you wear when you slept because of evil and wicked. The Bible says it give it this beloved sleep. But there are people the moment they close their eyes, they begin another. But do they get up tired? What kind of oppression is that? Darkness? How about the some kind of give money cloud covering your giftings? Listen, let me tell you I have met gift tech people in my life. There are give the people in this city, There are gifted. People even within this place. I have met gifted people in ministry give their people in business so much so that you wonder, why are you at this level with this kind of gift that some of the people you are celebrating are not how as gifted. As you or they were? Is there are. Spirits that just sit on the glory of men and not allow them. Rise gives ted but limited. This conference is an opportunity that God has put together so that. That they'll believe from your eyes in the name of Jesus Christ. For some of you, we do not even know who you are, because you are standing from the position of darkness, and we cannot know whether you are the one God send for us. To bless and lead because we cannot see you. I told you that darkness it creates an abrected identity. You don't know who is who. You might be looking for someone and stand near the person, but because it is in darkness, you cannot even know. Light is powerful. The Bible says that which. Makes manifest is light. Allelujah, prast the name of the Lord. When Jesus was born, there was a star in the sky. Is that in your Bible? That time was so bright. The magi looked at it and said, no, this is not just that the atmosphere is bright. There has to be something, and they followed that light until. They got to where Jesus was. That means there is a lights that should compel men from wherever they are to say what is making There is an illumination in this church. There is an illumination in this family that they should come to right where you are, and Jesus, as a baby, he had not prayed, he had not faster. There was just light over him, and jiefs were already coming to him before he made mention of any first prayer, before he made mention of any first first thing, before he even. Understood those who would work with him as a. Baby, simply because there was a light upon him, the magic came and they brought to him gifts of gold, of frankinsense and of mayor. How do adults worship a baby and drop gifts as a baby, He could not even say thank you. That is the power of light. That when light is upon you, you will marvel and wonder at the things that men will do. They will leave any deal. Stands to any distance and say, are you the James they've been talking about? The Lord sent me to come and do this for you, And. You will stand in awe and say, God, is this how you really move? And God says, that is what happens when you embrace light, fight darkness, reject darkness. Be on a campaign against darkness, darkness, especially as ignorance. Make up your mind that I will not be a believer. That's just saved. And yet one wall in ignorance, full of supposed why sayings that do not carry any spiritual power. For instance, one day go better. That is not an accurate scripture or a statement. It is just a sociological comfort. For instance, life is ton by tone. My tone is coming. See those statements you know good, This tone is coming anywhere you force the time to arrive at you. I didn't get my home. Yes, there is a lot of time and chance were for time shalls come towards you. But if it must be your time, it happens by taking it. The battle says right from the days. Of Johnder Baptist until now the kingdom suffered violent, and the violent take it by force. Nord that say help, I will come by before. To help you. It will take you programming your heavens for that to happen. This is true, Allelujah. So tonight I have the assignment of challenging you to shake you up, to say no, there is more to your life than this. You've been given all kinds of excuses. Live to us excuses this night. The Man of God you are worship minister, and no body has discerned your crazy Legos. He said different things. You are in your season of training. If the pleasing of training is over, just know that it is darkness kipping you down. And you get up and say, Lord, I will press in life. One song that will come from your. Spirit will make the nations to place it demand. Let me tell you it's not difficult to rise when light is the one that is lifting you. If you try to lift yourself, you will be wasting your time. Allelujah. I met a gentleman a few weeks ago. I was in Legos ministry at the church and I met this gentleman very I'm brilliant young man, and I think he's responsible for one of these inventions, you know, across the transport sector. And he was speaking to me and I said, ah, this guy is smart. This guy is very, very smart. And when he was telling me some of the things that he was doing with the governments of a few nations and all of that, I told him, I said, this is wonderful, but I want to pray for you. There is a grace called visibility. You see, if you do not have the grace of visibility, you can be as afflicted as anything and you will remain there, like many people whose tables are full of the solutions to national and transcont in mental problems. That if these men were called weather in government or in certain corporations, the world will experience their wisdom and be grateful for it. Yet those people will remain there, those projects who wrote on the table, because visibility has not been given to men. I don't know what I'm speaking to, but in the name of Jesus Christ. I decree and declare again whoever needs to see you, whoever needs to discern the workings of God in your hand, And to least you, may God position them to see you. Make God position them to see you. Halleluyah. But now hear it, please, and this one I will begin this night. One of the worst forms of darkness, the worst manifestation of darkness that I know of, is sickness and informity. This listen, I've been sick before. I know what it means for your body or any aspect of your body, to DETERI rate and to be in pain. If you've never been sick before, you will not You will not appreciate the power, the healing power of Jesus Christ. Darkness you see, everybody is given the privilege of having one body per lifetime. Are we together? Yes, no body. As much as we know, science has not perfected the art of transferring. Is so lead to. Another body, but not seeing that happen yet. So you are given only one body per lifetime. Please let me have your attention. Whatever happens to that body. It literally sustains the ability to end. Your life, whether your time is there or not. And how many of you know that the only authorization you have to remain upon the earth is that not that you have a body, that your body is healthy enough to keep your spirit in it. Are we together? There is a health a threshold health requirement that if your body goes below, your spirit will have to leave, whether it is. Your time or not. Are we together now? That means anything that tries to destop the health of your body is attempting to administer death to your life, and you should not tolerate it. Are we together? Now? This is very important. We have all kinds of sicknesses that disturb. People and and rob them of the liberty to enjoy beauty and color. The man called Hezakiah great. King, And yet this man was about to die. And the prophet came and said, put your house in order, you're going to die. And he said, no, no, God, whatever it is that you cannot allow the dominion of darkness. No wonder the Bible the last enemy that shall be destroyed. There is a spirit that is wasting the lives of people across We see vibrands strong. Me, my head, my head, and the next thing they say, the person has gone. Now I am not getting you emotional. If you've lost a loved one, that's fine. But I came here too on an assignment, and one of it is that this plaque of sickness, insanity. And death. These are spirits, and like any other form of darkness, they. Can be kept at day I wish to get Now this is true, you have to believe it. So I used to have these demon spirits come to press me years ago, literally like you're pressing. Someone to die, and I'm wondering what did I do? Until I found out there are people who had that experience and never woke up again. They just said the person went to bed and died. Is only if you have an opportunity to go to heaven. That the person who say I did not die. I was killed this wicked spirits from the rem of the spirit. No devil would take your life before your child, Allelujah. I know of a young man who graduated, very fine young man. True story. He came to collect his certificate and was on a bike and a car just came out. I don't know whether the man was all right or not, and just clared he died instantly, the only. Son of his mother. Allelujah. If you are here and you have that kind of story in your family, when we begin to prayer, like you to believe that, that's say, can the clique must leave you, that the last that accord around your family. Is the last. Don't say it always happens. No, by life, I end this demonic satanic money mistake and a luna. You know how many times people have seen me dead. I refuse to die. That's why I'm alive. Sometimes I want to take a trip and since here people I'm not intact. People who say apposible, please don't go. We've seen a ghostly mo towards them. But I have to want Minister is full. Wait, what do I tell them I can't come for your conference because they said I would die? What am I coming to Christian? Who am I coming to health? Show? Some of your supposts don't speak like this, to speak like that, that is exactly the fear. I want to drive out of your life, he says, And to deliver them who through the fear of death, have all your lifetime been subject to bondage. And prays the name of the Lord the. Righteous, as bold as a lion. But your boldness is not based on nothing. Your boldness is based on light. That you can stand with light and standing in peace and know that in the name of Jesus, the world of God will work for me. There's nothing the devil can do about a man who works round light. He's a scientist to stop sufficient light from getting to you. But once that light has arrived, you will arise, and then you will shine. It's in your Bible, he says. Arise from the depression and the prostration that circumstances have. Kept you, rise to a new light. You see, if you refuse light and I accept light, you're refusing. Light does not affect me. I will together now. When it has to do with the ministry of light, it is personal. I can only encourage you. But surrounding yourself. With the light that gives you. Victory is entirely your responsibility. Allelujah. So tonight, within the few minutes that we have I want to speak. I'm going to speak over your life and then would. Have for every of the sessions who would do this, this plague of sickness and death and death. We're about to enter what we call the emberments. It has even become a it's almost like an O written season. So once they say emberment, people begin to shake and say, oh, this is it. Who is going to go? Now? Must somebody die? Because it's the emberment. I hope you are not angry that I'm challenging you. I came to provoke you your spirit to say, this year, I would not lose any of my love once that, in the name of Jesus Christ, you can't. You must insist that by the power of the Holy goes. And while you are saying, the devil will be telling you. But they diagnot something that every three that has not been planted by myself. That is the confidence of the believer. Now every creed that has not been planted, I shall not die, but live and declare the works of the Lord, Man of God, you will not die. That devil lie to you that you will preach and then die on stage. Know, sir, with long life, shall I satisfy you and show you my salvation? Hallelujah, hallelujah. We're going to pray. I just sense strongly my spirit I will speak over your life. But I want us to pray. I don't know why God is putting it in my heart to recup the spirit of death. In one minute or two minutes, You're going to mention both your name and every ponly God has brought around you and declare the covering of the blood that you will not hear badness, no death. Please, someone pray this serious outside goes following online, live some voice and pray shaka. The Bible says, with. Long life, shall I satisfy you and show you my salvation.

Someone with faith pray. Men show the name of your children. Hallelujah. Please look at me in Jesus' name, whilst your pray. It's not only men that can die. Things can die like if business can die, like influence can die, like reputation can die. So when I said, prophessie life, it's not only life. In terms of your existence. You will speak to. Anything that can have life. What that is your business? What that is your influence? It will not die. Open your mouth and pray. That will not be around my habitation, in the name of Jesus, the son of the Living God. That will not be around my habitation. Whatever God does is forever. Yes, sir, go ahead and tray. The works of your hands will not die. They influence God that's given you. He says, I will bless you and I will make your name great.

Something is happening in the spirit. Genesis one five, Genesis one five, Please help us media Genesis chapter one and verse five. The Bible says, let me just read. For sake of time, God called the light day, and the darkness is called night. So light has a name, and not that name for light is day? And are not that name for darkness this night? And the Bible says, weeping and deals for as long as it is night. Once you are in darkness, crying does not come to an end, it says, for joy comes with the morning. That means it is not the chronological passage of time that causes day and night. It is the presence or the absence of light. It is night now geographically speaking, but it can become. Day when you have light. Allelujah. There are many of us. Whether it is twelve noon, whether six am in the morning, six am in the night, twelve mill nights. Spiritually, you are perpetually in the night because it is darkness. That is the reason why you crime the morning. You crime the afternoon, because weeping is connected to night. Hallelujah. The Bible says for joy comes with the morning, and morning is not six am. Morning is any time your life comes. Therefore, you are going to pray that in the name of Jesus, my heart is open to receive lights. That is your next prayer point. Please open your mouth and pray my heart is open to receive light. Understanding spiritual illumination. Ah, someone is praying, Lord, the life connecting. Takes to our eyes and to shine. To reveal your glory from my world. That my life commands the excellency of the Kingdom. I obtain that grace art is open, a shut back and puss tabata, my heart is open. Light. That damage is ignorance. My heart is open. My heart is open. I see this conference. I say spiritual investment, that finally I have a chance to put together the fruits the light that will liberate me. Indeed, hallelujah, lou Jah. Jesus said, and ye shall know the truth. He never said. Being around the truth sets you free. He never even said, have been access to the truth. Sets you free. Ye shall know the truth, Ye shall know the truth. Ye shall know the truth. From tomorrow, I'm going to be exploring the truth, the life component that is responsible for the various aspects of our Christian life. That at the end of these sessions you will stand. You can wait yesterday goodbye. And know that it is gone for good and forever in the name of Jesus. But for someone here who came with any kind of satanic medical report, just place your hand. I want to pray, just to speak over your life, and then I will also review the. Spirit of death. This thing is not leaving me. I will still pray it. When God is insisting on something like this is because he wants to have had tears from your family. This is why you're saying, if this is the only reason it is worth it, you're trusting God for a miracle. Just place your hand on your chest. Father. There are several people who have come inside and outside, many following online. They have come to access the truth and to know it. The truth that liberates the truth that sets pray. Right now, I am prayed first and foremost. If there is anyone under the sound of my voice, you have been seen dead epull in your dreams. You'll go to bed. And what you are interacting with dead people, things that have to do with the greed. I decree and declare. Whatever the grave he is calling you and saying you most common join us. I see they're that relationship. Now, for the Bible says what fellowship has lives got to do. With darkness, I'm saying it again. If there is anyone who is being called into untimely death by dreams, prophetic experiences, ill speakings of men, activities of witchcraft, I decree and I declare, right now this moment here a new Heritage Baptist Church in the name of Jesus, the Son of the. Living God, let the spirit of death live your life or God. And if you have seen any one of your loved ones, whether in dreams of visions, dying, we can soul it. Right now. Anyone here suffering any kind of blood disease I'm seeing at a moment arising and falling. High blood treasure. In the name of Jesus Christ, I command. That deeply to go down. Eye conditions we healed. Now any organs silior in your body. For some of you, the organ may be so failed that you may need a replacement. May God, who is the greatest decisian, in the name of Jesus, let. Him bring you a replacement. Now be healed in Jesus' name, be healed in Jesus' name. He healed in Jesus' name. One of the truths in the Kingdom is the power of the prophetic when. It is administered within the boundary of scripture, the prophetic and work one does. I want to speak over. Someone that in the name of Jesus, for many of you before you get home. I say this as one said by God in the name of Jesus. Something that has not happened in your life from Jaguarry till may it happen this night. May it happened this night. A call you have not received, May you receive it this night in the name of Jesus, Wife, Allelujah. And for someone here, any longstanding issue in your life it has refused to give way, maybe held, maybe your job, problems in your office, maybe your spiritual life. In the name of Jesus Christ tonight has back one help before the act. Let that problem fall before the fruit from Jesus, Allelujah. For someone you wake up tomorrow with a text with an email demanding. For you some people who have rejected you, and I mean what I'm saying, Allelujah. Prays the name of the Lord, the kind of favor you have not seen from January retail now in the name of Jesus, my God, the one who helps men. I decree and declare between tonight and this week finishing, may that favored testimony rest upon your life. Hallelujah, hallelujah. And for someone here, one of. The blessings that you're receiving tonight is not just material money or favor. What you are receiving. Tonight is a restoration of your spiritual fire, a restoration of your spiritual fire. Because the truth is that. God began to work in your life because of a glorious prophetic destiny. But somewhere along the line, either through cheerlessness or through discouragement, you just took your walk with God. And like you dismiss yourself from the school of the Spirit, God is calling you to return back in the name of Jesus. When I began my discussion, we share the scripture that said God desires number one. That all men be saved, and then that they come to the knowledge of the truth. I was so humbled and taught you when I saw several people outside with their hands hungry and open, and several honors of the balcony and around here. I know that every time God allows for people to come this way, it is because He adds daily as many as should be saved. The business of being saved is not just about Christianity. I have taught you. Without that admission into the Kingdom, you are perpetually a victim of Satan darkness in its entirety. The authorized escape route from darkness and. The authorized admission into the Kingdom is Jesus. It is only through the Living Christ that we have access to this life and this grace. Wherein we stand. I want to give an opportunity right now for two groups of people in one Please let me have your attention. You are here and you are saying, Apostle, I need Jesus. I came for this conference, but whilst you were speaking, the holy ghosts began to talk to me that I need to make it right with Jesus. Or you are here and you are saying apostle. I once made this decision, but sincerely I cannot say in truth that right now my life is intact with God. I want to give you an opportunity very quickly. The whole is full, so I'm not going to ask you to come out, but what I will ask you to do very boldly. If we can, Let's try it and say if it works. For those of the balcony who are making this decision, I just want you to move forward and come just in front there and then those in here, Let's try to see if we can just twist one or two people at the asse, because I need to see the people. Those outside you will do the same at least just move forward. Let someone an official outside just guide them or where to stand after. I need you to pray you'll be directed, or what else to do? I want to count one to five. Someone who is bold and not a shave come and stand, God bless you. Let's appreciate them. Come. Come. I need no mother human, please that she's a stand and two come, I need know what man I lead, Honora. Please that I'm saying an auditorium. I hope you are people from that that whole who are coming to the front. If there are people, celebrate them as they come to the front. God bless you the whole on the screen and every other place. God bless you. God bless you, God bless you. Alleluyah. Four and finally five, I want to salute everyone who has come. If you're still coming, please move forward. I want to see you because I want us to pray together. Listen to me, beloved people of God. The Bible says, as many who will come to Him, he will in no wise castaway. It is the no blessing to do in this side of God's kingdom. To make this decision to accept the lorch of Jesus as Savior and Lord and Christ. This is officially your admission into the kingdom, into a life of victory, into the Kingdom of light. Even is their son. So I'm going to lead you, young and old. You have come declaring your faith in Jesus. As I lead you through this simple prayer, I want you to repeat after me. Those outside I'm sure you can see and gear me. And for someone who is watching online, perhaps you are watching by way of television following from the Internet, or perhaps watching a rebroadcast, and the Lord is saying to come make this decision. Allelujah. I know that you are being given cards now, but let me plead that you suspend feeling the cards for a moment and then are leading to pray. When you pray, I will direct you of what else to do. All of you who are in front, please let me ask you left your right hand high above your head as a sign of surrender, and say this from the depths of your heart, as loud and as clear as you can. Say, Lord Jesus, tonight I have heard your word. I believe that you are the son of God. I believe that you die for my sin. Right now I. Received Jesus into my heart as my savior, my Lord and my King. I declare that the power of Saint, Satan, Hell and the Grave is broken. Over my life. From tonight I am a child of God. I go for whatever and backward never Amen. Keep your wonderful hands lifted. Father, Thank you for these precious ones. They have come declaring your lordship over their lives. And the Bible says, as many who will come to you, you will in no wise cast away. I declare that you all know your profession of faith, and in the name of Jesus. We declare that you are recipients of eternal life. Indeed, the power of Sain said and hell and the grave is broken. Over your life. From tonight we call you sons. Of light, and we decree and declare that darkness is on this way out of your life, never to return again, in Jesus' name. Now two instructions, very quickly, Please can you give me one of these cards just for you to see. Thank you. You'll be giving a card like this. If you have not gotten a card like this, like the one I'm holding, please be patient keep standing. Until you are giving a card like this, you would be expected to feel the card. Please feel it. As clear as you can, and then I'm sure that the one half most likely would be for you, whereas the other you would pass it. To the counselors. Are they going to follow the counselors or they just feel just a moment? Okay, so you're going to feel it while you're standing now, Please don't go back to your seat with it. If they don't have pens virus to write someone, do well, be a good samarity and help them with a pend so that they feel it right here in front we're patient to allow you suos, please complete it and then you hand it over to the counselors, and then I'm sure that afterwards you'll be back to your seat. And when they do call for those who just gave. Their life to Christ, please do well to identify with them so that you can be followed up properly in Jesus' name. Now just to instructions and then we're done. Tomorrow there is a morning session I understand. Let me encourage everyone please and please do your best as much as you can to be here, and if for any reason you are not able to be here, do your best to at least connect online. I believe that it will be online. So that you listen, because tomorrow now we're going to begin to deal with the keys of the kingdom. And then, as we always do, I hope and pray that with the permission of Reverend tomorrow night to be a miracle service where will. Take the time to really minister to the needs of pepre hallelujah. So I'm requesting in advance that all of you number one invite as many people. I'm sure that extra provisions will be made, and then please come with your prayer requests. I love to pray for people and their requests. Write your requests. You can receive that of your love once who are not here, those of you online. I'm sure that there should be the church link. The media team will make it available so that you can send in your request and tomorrow will have the time to pray to minister to as many and then trust. God for a mighty move of his spirit in this place. But for now, may the Lord bless you. May the Lord honor you in the name. Of Jesus Christ, your victory as a result of light. It's right now in Jesus' name. We are pray, God bless say thank you.
