Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
The anointing amidst fire burns.
My heart is captured to learn.
I have in me the burning fire.
Oh, a sound of quakes.
I have in me the burning fire.
Hallelujah.
So I have established with you that
the richness of a man,
the richness of a man, a man here, I mean a man and a woman,
the richness of a person, the richness of the life of a person
is not based on the things he runs or she runs after,
but it is based on where he is placed in, i.e. his presence.
So a man without God is wretched.
A man who is separated from God is wretched.
He may have the cars, he may have the money, he may have whatever,
but whenever a man does not know Christ,
whenever somebody does not know Christ,
there is always a missing link in the life of the person.
Whenever somebody is not in the presence of God,
there is nothing that is full, there is nothing, always, his life is,
there is something not adding up.
The person may claim, I'm the most happiest person on earth.
The person may claim, I want to tell you I'm very happy.
But the point is that it is not true.
Because you see, what makes a man complete is the presence of God.
What makes a man complete is the presence of God.
What makes a person complete in life is that, my goodness,
I feel like blasting the web right now, but let me hold on.
Hallelujah. Praise the name of the Lord.
It takes God to become complete in life.
That is why it is very disadvantageous.
It is very catastrophic to be intoxicated by the things you are looking for.
I mean, all that you are ever living for is that you want to make life.
You begin to search after things, you begin to run after things.
And you leave God.
When that becomes the life of a man, that person is wretched.
Praise the name of the Lord.
And you see, the presence of God here, I'm not just talking about coming to church.
Of course, that is part of it.
But I'm talking about a relationship, a deep relationship with God.
When a man does not have that relationship with God,
that person always, there's something in the life of the person that's not adding up.
Praise the name of the Lord.
Even if a Christian, if somebody is a Christian and their passing does not take serious,
his life of fellowship with the Lord, always something is not adding up.
The person's life is some way, somehow.
Today there's victory, tomorrow there's no victory.
Today there's this, that it's because the person is not flowing with God.
In the book I'm writing, Sustaining Your Christian Life Through Active Fellowship,
I said something.
I differentiated between relationship and fellowship.
Alright?
I differentiated between relationship and fellowship.
The Bible says in 1 Corinthians chapter 1 verse 9, put it up there,
the Bible says, God is faithful by whom you were called unto the fellowship of his Son.
Hallelujah.
So we have been called into, and the word fellowship from the Greek is koinonia.
It means that a participation, a relationship with Jesus.
The faithfulness membroste fragatus, read verse 8, put verse 8 there.
Talking about one saved forever saved, Paul makes a statement here.
He says that he will also confirm you to the end.
And the word confirm there means to establish.
He says God will establish you to the end.
I want to get that.
It is his job to establish you to the end.
God has to make sure that you are rightly placed in him.
Hallelujah.
And the Bible says that he is also able to confirm you to the end,
blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Now, net dressed.
Then he says that God is faithful.
So God is faithful in that God is unchanging.
Hallelujah.
The word faithful there means that he is unchanging.
He is not like this and like that.
He will not tell you to come when he is not there.
God is faithful.
One of the beautiful character of God is that he is a faithful God.
When we say God is faithful, we mean that he does not change.
You know, somebody can tell you I love you, oh baby I love you.
And then you do something and the person changes.
I don't love you again.
Man is not faithful.
Hallelujah.
That is a character of God.
So the Bible says God is faithful.
God is unchanging.
I want to get that.
If God ever gave you a word, that word stands sure.
God is unchanging.
Shout it, my God is faithful.
So it says God is faithful by his faithfulness as God.
He has called you.
He has invited you into a partnership with Jesus.
This is big, man.
He has called you.
So every Christian has a divine call into fellowship with Jesus.
Say I have a call.
Come on, shawty, I'm called.
You don't like it?
Say I'm called.
So he called us into fellowship with his son Jesus.
So we have a partnership.
God is faithful.
So God is unchanging.
And God is always making sure you are in that partnership with Jesus.
Now what you do with that relationship is what is called your active fellowship.
So right now as it stands now, God is not far from any one of us.
The moment you get born again, you are brought into the presence of God.
Come on.
In John chapter 3 verse 18, the man who says that Jesus died, I mean, he is godly.
He died for the ungodly.
He died so that he would bring us to God.
And he says in John 14, 6, I am the way, the truth, and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through me.
He has brought us to the Father.
So we are in the presence of the Father.
The Bible says for by one spirit we both have access to the Father.
We all have access to God.
It is not a...
A pastor does not have more access than you do.
Because the same...
He says we have access by the Spirit to the Father.
We both have access.
Everyone that has believed in Jesus has access to God.
Now if you understand that nobody is going to tell you that come and buy an oil for 300,000 seed for deliverance.
We both have access.
But the problem is that the reason why you go and buy that oil, although you know you have access or you are even a Christian,
and you lose out when you pray, you are not getting it, that you have used God as an emergency dial button.
You only call God when there is a problem.
And you have not built your faith enough to position yourself to even receive from God.
So it's not like God will not give you when you call him.
When you have not called him and there is a problem.
He himself says call me in the day of trouble and I will answer.
But in that day of trouble, you should have had a life of fellowship, having even learnt how to receive from God.
Let's take for example, typical example.
I told the man of God today that it's been a long time I received a song.
Now he left me and in less than two hours a song cake.
So let's assume...
Are you sure?
That's the thing.
If I have not had a consistent life of receiving songs, the song will come and I will still be there.
I'm trying to arrange it.
Do you understand?
Now secondly, before I mean is there no one came.
Alright, I'm using him so that you understand.
Before he came, when I receive a song, there is always, oh let's change this, let's work this, let's change this.
But as he walks around the house and he sings, as we come to check and he sings and all of that, naturally because I have the tendency that things actually correct themselves just by being around him.
Almost before he came here, when he writes a song, he can send it to me, check the lyrics if it's okay.
Now when he receives songs, he does not ask me about the lyrics because he also has been around and the word of God is shaping something within.
What am I saying?
Consistently being around the Lord, consistently having a life of fellowship makes it easier to receive from God, makes it easier to, I didn't say it makes it easier for God to give you, it makes it easier for you to receive.
People don't know that in as much as we teach about how to pray, we must also teach on how to receive your answers.
There are two different things.
Somebody can pray to God and not, I'll not be sure that there's somebody here or some people here, you have never prayed and received answers.
So what we say, God answers prayer.
You don't, it's not like you don't believe, you know that okay, they say God answers prayer, that's that.
But there is, I can teach you from the word of God how to receive answers.
And it's right there in the word of God.
Do you understand what I'm talking to you about? So there is a way to receive from God.
See, God has never said no to any of your prayers before. He has never.
Can you think about that?
Alright, I think about that.
What have we, because you see, the Bible meets Ephesians chapter 3. Let's go to Ephesians 3.19, down to 20.
I'll use like 10 minutes and I'll be done.
And I know it is true.
Ephesians 3.
Gentlemen, don't post things I've not said.
20.
Now to him who is able to do above and beyond all that we ask or think, in accordance to the power that works in you.
God can do exceeding abandon.
God can do that which exceeds abundance.
So it means that here I don't have a word. That's what I'm saying, exceeding abandon.
So God is able to do exceeding, not exceedingly abandon.
God is able to do that which exceeds abundantly.
Then he says that he does it according to the power that's at work in you.
The word power that's at work in you is in reference to the 19 that he says that, and the exceeding greatness of his power to us, what we believe.
So God can't do beyond the power that is at work in you.
And the power that is at work in you is called the exceeding greatness of his power.
Meaning that Paul lacks words for you to know how much God can do.
This is beyond God can do all things.
Do you understand that? So that is God.
But the point is this, why do we receive little from God?
Why do we receive? Sometimes, based on the fact that we have not had a lot of answers from God, we are even scared to ask God for big things.
Because you just know that it ain't going to count.
So you know, let me divide it by two so that I know.
That's what will count.
So you need to ask God, please, I need a job. At least if you pay me 600 CDs, I'll be fine.
Me, what inside your heart, if God stood before your face and said, what kind of job do you need?
You say, Father, hook me, hook me, man to me.
But you've come to a point where you have lived in a place where you don't get answers.
So it has affected you and how you think of God.
Do you understand that? Let me tell you this.
Most of our life with God, number one, our life with God, number two, our knowledge of God.
Number three, God's output in our life.
God's output in our life is based on our conception, is based on our personal conception of God.
Let me explain what I said. Most of our number one words are life with God.
Number two, our knowledge of God.
Number three, our, no, I said three things.
Our life, our knowledge and the output of God in our lives is based on our personal conception of God.
Not our corporate conception of God, not our corporate understanding of God.
The Christian life is more personal than it is corporate.
The corporate life, my goodness, I admire God, why?
I said, miko spiti.
The corporate life, I will explain what I mean.
The corporate life mostly is to ginger us for service.
The personal life is the life that you live as a Christian.
So what do I mean by corporate? As we are here right now, we are having a corporate work.
There is a word for everybody.
And the personal one is your personal, active relationship and fellowship with the Lord.
So if you don't pray, if you don't read the Bible, if you don't fast, you don't do all those things.
You don't go for evangelism and stuff like that.
Personally, when you come to church and pray, you pray some.
When we come to church, sometimes I will declare that we are fasting.
We will try and fast two days out of the 14 days or something like that.
What is going to happen is that you will receive some blessings in the corporate body,
but you will not have an active life with God.
So when trouble strikes and pastor has traveled, you will die before pastor comes.
Because you don't have a stamina on your own.
Think about it, when we were young, I remember the last time my mother carried me at her back.
I remember it to this day. I remember it to this day because of the circumstances that surrounded it.
But when you were young, your mother would be carrying you and you were enjoying it.
So one day, my mother went to a friend's house and then it was late in the village.
So I said, I was asleep. I was actually asleep.
So when she was about to go there, she woke me up.
I said, we should walk. She put me at the back.
And my mother gave me a beating.
That day I knew that this back, I'm never climbing again.
Because I have become a big man, a big boy.
So there is that which when you are young, you are being carried
to a point where you have to now know God for yourself.
That is the problem with a lot of Christians.
My pastor says this, my pastor says this, my daddy says this, my daddy says this.
And of course that is good, but they don't have a personal walk with Jesus.
They don't have a personal walk with the Lord.
Quiet time, personal quiet time, they can't do it.
But we can be in church and when we are in church, they are always excited.
They go case to fatigue.
But they don't have a personal life.
Like you sit down to read your Bible, like you sit down to pray,
you sit down to say today I'm fasting.
When you do those things, do you know how it helps you?
It builds your spiritual life and you begin to rightly conceptualize God.
You begin to know God for yourself.
Now God is not going to become what has been told you,
but God is going to become what you have known from the word.
A lot of us know the God that has been told us.
We don't know the God that we conceptualize from the word of God.
And do you know our personal private life is very important?
Because even as I'm preaching the word, the way you understand it
is based on your conceptualization of who God is.
Praise the name of God.
Somebody can be here and the person is prayerless
because the person's conceptualization of God is that even if I don't pray, I'm okay.
Or God still loves me.
And somebody is here, the person is going to be prayerful
because he knows that my life depends on it.
God wants to fellowship with me.
Now the one who thinks that, oh, I did not pray and God loves me and I'm okay,
that is how he understands God.
But the one who says, no, no, no, no, I'm going to pray
because I want to be in fellowship with God.
God wants me to be in fellowship with him.
That is also his understanding.
That's why we are not all having the same life.
You are hearing the same word from the same preacher,
same church, same fans, same screen, even the same,
the song that we sang, same song, but our understanding of it,
very vast, very different.
Do you know that if maybe I had come with a song, let's say maybe,
O Nyamey Beye Obeya De Fofro O Nyamey Beye Obeya Shewatam Fweniwo
Ma'o Sasu Yeradi Ayen O Nyamey Beye De Fofro Yinayo O Nyamey Beye De Fofro
If that's the song that I brought.
It's not somebody's song, it's just something.
But it has somebody who will be more excited.
Why? Because the person's concept of who God is,
is a God who is supposed to be doing things for me every day.
And somebody like me, that my conceptualization of God
is mostly in the things he has done in salvation.
When I hear a song like this, I go gaga.
And you see, you can see it, I told you this before,
you can see it in the songs that we receive.
It's a lamp that's upon a throne.
You see, naturally, whoever was type and type,
the land of God seated upon, because it's the lamp of God,
he has to sit somewhere. A throne has to come.
So it's not listening to what I'm talking about.
Do you understand what I'm talking about?
So even the songs that I will receive will be based
on my conceptualization of God.
The personal work I've had with God.
So if you are here and you don't have a personal work with the Lord,
it means that you are like a building without a foundation.
You are like a building without a foundation.
There are people, they know grace word, they know the word,
they can even take the word of God and begin to scream it.
But the point is that there is no personal relationship with God.
They wake up, they don't talk to God, they sleep, they don't talk,
the whole day they have nothing God in them.
They do what they want, anytime, anyhow, they go anywhere,
any day and all of that.
And there is no God factor active in their lives.
Praise the name of the Lord.
When that happens to you, you are like a building without a foundation.
So we all can be in the church and we are praying and all of that.
And you can even point out, oh, I go to the church,
somebody said that, oh, that church, that church there,
it's a very good church, it's a very good church, that's okay.
But you are inside the church and you know that my life is not being transformed.
It is not the church, but something is missing,
it doesn't begin from the church,
it begins with your individual personal life with God.
Are we together in this place?
I'm just mentioning the name, I mean it's a prayer cup around.
Why? Because they've heard that in this ministry,
when you come and pray, you are answered.
So after they come to pray and they get their answer,
and that's why most of them get disappointed.
First, when they tell you about Moppa, Moppa prayer,
they say it can be from here to Dubru, people seated throughout.
You don't hear Moppa again.
People are there, but it's not like first.
Appai life, when you hear Appai life, 40,000 people seated.
What does all of them, and this man, Apriku, my daughter,
my brother says Apriku came to have a program at, is it Methodist Park or so,
Methodist Park or Presence Park, their whole place was flooded with people.
People are looking for answers and most of them are already in churches,
but they are looking for answers.
But you see, as they keep on doing, then they find out, oh no, the answer is not there.
Then they hear that, oh, another one has risen, they say 12 to 1.
When you pray 12 to 1, at least that time, demons are active, so you slay them.
Now you're going to pray like that and you'll be seeing testimonies of others.
No, just imagine, if the man of God gets a hundred testimony per session,
and 80,000 people are praying, put that in a fraction or a percentage and see the percentage.
It tells you that in that kind of meeting, people who get testimonies are not even 10%.
How are you sure that's going to be you?
So the better way to relate with God is not relating with God because there is a news or there is a group somewhere,
my church included, the better way to relate with God is to begin now to build a personal life with God.
Can you imagine that?
Where you can get up and like Hezekiah, you can say, Lord, I'm not going.
I will not die.
After a prophet has given a prophecy, you can still say I'm not dying and God is alright, 50 more years to your life.
Hello, daddy, hello, daddy.
Yes, what's the problem?
Daddy, daddy, as I was sleeping, something was tearing my hand, something was tearing my hand.
And I said, I wanted to say Jesus, but Jesus was not coming.
Somebody is beating or something, you want to say Jesus, but Jesus is not coming.
Then you wake up.
You lost the fight.
Then you call daddy.
Then what will I do? I'll say, don't worry, we'll handle it, I'll just speak it.
Most of you, I don't say anything to it.
You tell me I forget.
We're going to have a personal life.
Come on, praise the name of the Lord.
Man of God, I don't know. I don't know. When I sleep, I wake up. When I wake up, I'm sleepy.
My dear, can you start building a life?
Can you start knowing God?
Because listen, if you read about the power of God alone from the scriptures, it will form an image in your head.
Very powerful.
When you read, because you see, that's why God told Moses, don't represent me with any kind of image.
Tell the children of Israel, they should not build any image of a man, of a beast or anything.
So that they will think God is a fish.
And then they will not say God is that. Don't build any image.
Give them the Lord.
Give them the word.
So if you come to church now and I begin to put something here, and then I write Sakina.
Now you start coming and you come in and you sit, you'll be like this.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us.
Now in the hour of our death we beseech you that you are looking at something hanging on a wood.
So in your mind you think that you think.
So can you imagine, like you come in, Mashanda, Brahgadavah, Sapphaya, oh, gospel is broken.
But it's not like you're trying to lie to me.
I swear to you, I'm going to raise you up and take you to the top.
Because Jesus said, all things are in my hands.
That is how they understand God.
All things are in my hands.
Amen.
That is how they understand God.
Amen.
Do you understand that?
So that's where the problem is.
But listen, Nipana or not, all to all test.
And here also on the personal closet, Sapphaya normal.
If you can build a relationship with Jesus, you will not be scared of any altar.
You will not be scared of any whatever, wherever anybody can put you.
Hallelujah.
Jesus said,
I'm going to build a relationship with Jesus.
No, no.
Shouting, I have power.
Oh, you don't like what I'm telling you?
Yeah.
But you see, it is our active fellowship with the Lord that builds that strength in you.
Most of it depends on your timing with that word, your fellowship with that word,
your communication with that word.
The whole week, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday, Wednesday, two hours or three hours,
four hours, Friday, four hours, Sunday, four hours.
Out of the whole week, they are sorry they are not in full.
But when you have a personal life, when you have a personal life with the Lord,
when you are in the car, it's active.
When you are going to work, it's active.
Wherever you find yourself, it's active.
Praise the name of the Lord Jesus.
So I was just trying to tell you something that in the presence of the Lord is the fullness of joy.
Fullness is in the presence of the Lord.
Hallelujah.
Praise the name of the Lord.
It's in the presence of the Lord.
Now the only thing that gives us that strength is our personal work with God.
And our personal work with God brings a personal conceptualization of God.
So you begin to know God for yourself.
Praise the name of the Lord.
You see, most of the things that we read about, especially in the book of Psalms, Psalm 27, put Psalm 27 there.
See, he says, the Lord is my light.
David did not say the Lord is our light.
There are things that we can use our that is corporate.
Hallelujah.
There are scriptures that have our.
Hallelujah.
But here, David says, the Lord is my light and my salvation.
And the word salvation, that means he's my deliverance.
The Lord is not just my deliverer.
He's my deliverance.
Hey.
You see, the Lord is my light and my deliverance.
No.
The Lord is my light and my deliverance.
So the Lord is my deliverance.
It's a different thing to say the Lord is my deliver.
It means that he will come and deliver.
But here he says the Lord is my deliverance.
It means that God does not need to come and save me.
No.
If I find myself in anything, the Lord is my deliverance.
It's like saying that two things like God made the way and God is my way.
There are two different things.
God is a way maker is different from God is the way.
God is a way maker means that, oh, in the in the chaotic situation.
And that's perfect.
And then the higher revelation is that in the chaotic situation, when all the doors are closed,
I unleash the way.
And that way is God.
So as long as God is here, I don't get bound in any situation.
I always have a way out and the way out is God.
And this is saying.
The thing he's saying is a personal thing with God.
A personal thing that he has with God.
So if you are here and you also come, the Lord is my light and my salvation is good.
But is it true?
Is it really true?
Eradicating me, I mean, in quite a bit in quite a bit and you're eroding me, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean,
is it because, listen, we can all be in this church.
When we come, we all shine our face.
But when you are personally personal in your private life, there may be no God factor.
So sometimes you don't understand, why is my life like this?
It's like every day from one trouble to the other, why are things not adding up?
Somebody will tell you that if your church is not changing you, change your church.
They'll tell you maybe your pastor is not even praying for you and stuff like that or something.
I surrender.
What's in front of me?
You need a personal work with the Lord.
Hallelujah.
Let's go to Jeremiah chapter two verse 13.
I'm going to read something.
Are you enjoying this thing at all?
Hallelujah.
Say I love you Lord.
For my people have committed two evils.
Hallelujah.
God is talking through Jeremiah.
He says my people have committed two evils.
They have forsaken me the fountain of living waters.
And healed them out systems, broken systems that cannot hold water.
Can you put any of the lighter versions?
Any of them, any of you, H, whatever.
For my people have committed a double evil.
They have abandoned me a fountain of living water.
And they've dug for themselves cracked systems that cannot hold water.
The first day I read this I cried.
The very very first day.
Then it's in my old Bible that God messaged, I wrote a crusade message.
That's why I preach this at previous weddings.
So crusade message.
But let me behave as if you're a crusade people.
God tells Jeremiah I have a problem with my people because of two things did that.
Number one, they have abandoned me.
Who is the fountain?
The word fountain there means the source.
Micraphratus.
The source of living waters.
So God calls himself the source of living waters.
And he says when the people abandon him, look at this.
When the people abandon him, the dark systems are water reservoirs.
Right?
Like things that would to contain water, maybe like the tank, like the water tank.
So in our times, water tank.
So they made water tanks for themselves.
And the water tanks they made is a broken one.
And the water tanks cannot hold even water.
God says I am the fountain not of water.
I am the fountain of living water.
But what you can do for yourself cannot even hold water.
Let alone living water.
Let me let you understand.
God is the source.
He is the fountain.
He is not a fountain of water.
He is the fountain of water that carries life.
When you go and when you leave God, then you try to fix it.
It can't even hold water.
God is saying that.
I, I give life, God life.
If you abandon me, even normal human life,
you can't hold it together.
So if anybody, God does not give human life.
But the God's life, the God life that he gives,
has the ability to put your human life in right perspective.
If you abandon him, even your small little human life,
you will not be able to handle it.
So when a Christian, when somebody who is born again,
when somebody who believes he goes to church,
begins to live his life and does not consider God,
and does not have a personal work with God,
that person's personal life cannot even be put together.
Because the person lives God who is the fountain of all things that carry life.
Let me put it this way.
God is telling you, let me bring it in a way you can understand.
God is telling you that I can give you a husband
that can take care of you.
I can give you a husband that can take care of you.
I can give you a husband that can change your life.
I can give you a husband that together with a husband,
you can build a great life that will impact generations.
But if you leave me, even a drunkard husband,
you cannot, you cannot, you cannot, you cannot work with him well.
Do you understand now? Do you understand now? Good.
So right now, if I'm here and I claim because I need marriage,
I will not apply God's principles, then I begin to, okay,
you know like the people who come,
they say the fatherless nations who suffer there,
often, what?
And the keyboard will be finding the voice and we'll never find it.
Oh
oh
man, take a back and eyelid and
put it under the.
I know these are right here.
God is very innocent.
A lot of the testimonies we've
shared, God is very innocent.
Oh, to be mad, as he said,
rather now, he said, ah, Gabriel.
Where's my name?
I said, I don't know anymore.
I said, hey.
Ah, wait.
Oh, Gabriel.
Oh, no, no, no.
I said that was it.
I said, that's why I forgot
to tell you.
So I said, I will remember.
That's how it is.
See, in the presence of God is
fullness of joy.
In the presence of God, if you
can take your mind off things
and seek after God, seek after
God means build a life, a
personal life with God.
When you get up, start praying.
In the evening, pray.
Or have your, have times that
you're reading your Bible.
In the day, read something from
the Bible, read the word of God.
If you don't know where to go,
read about Jesus.
If you don't know where to go,
read Psalms.
Just for the beginning, if you
don't have any life, just, you
will see if you do, I can
promise you, if you do this
thing for one month
consistently, you will know
that God has come into your
life.
Then you will start, you start
shooting the way.
What is happening?
What is forming in you?
Because Apostle Paul talks
about the formation of Christ
in man.
So God must be formed in the
man.
There's something that is
called God formation.
And the God formation comes
through active meditation.
Because you see, Jacob gave us
the principle of formation.
You read Genesis and he was
with the father-in-law, Laban.
And Laban was cheating him.
So Jacob came up with
something.
You see that, listen, when
their sheep begin to give birth,
any of them, let's go on this
agreement, any of them that is
speckled will be mine.
So their dot, dot will be mine.
And those that are full
colored will be yours.
And Laban says, okay, that's
okay.
And you know what Jacob did?
Jacob puts a stick and made it
speckled.
And where the sheep will come
and eat, where they come and
eat, that's where they will
meet.
So as they are having
intercourse and they are
looking at the speckled, what
happened is that the Bible says
when the sheep began giving
birth, they gave birth to
speckled ones.
What, where did Jacob learn?
It is called the law of
meditation.
What you meditate, you will
produce.
What you think about, what you
read, what you study, what you
get to know from the word of
God will form in you.
And that is what is going to
come out of you.
So if you are praying to God
for a particular thing, it's
not just about, oh, I already
have a sweet, I already want
to have a soup, I already want
to have a bread.
And then you go to bed.
There's something that is
called the law of meditation.
You keep, you keep thinking
about God's word around those
things.
Praise the name of the Lord.
I would together in this place.
Yeah.
You don't understand why they
prayed for you when you sleep.
Something comes to press your
neck.
You don't understand.
They prayed for you.
We fasted for you.
We lay hands on you.
We lay legs on you.
We lay eye on you.
We lay everything on you.
It seems like the thing is not
good.
It's not a problem.
It doesn't mean man of God is
not powerful.
It doesn't mean the brothers
who prayed for you are not
powerful.
It's not a problem.
There's a missing link.
God for yourself.
Let me tell you this.
Man, man, man, man, man.
God does not run the world by
miracles.
Miracles are not what God used
to run the world.
You cannot be there and just
think that hey.
Of Jesus.
If you are met and you are asked what you are praying about, what have you done in the
word about it, and you are not able to shoot a scripture, rather forget it.
God has done it just that you can't receive it.
You are not, because for example, if I come and I say, okay, that's it, take the phone,
stretch your hands towards the wrong direction, take the phone.
That is how a lot of Christians are with God.
So the Bible made a statement.
The Bible says that promotion does not come from the East or the West or the South.
The Bible didn't add the North.
That means that there is a place that promotion comes from.
It simply tells you that God answers prayers in a certain place, from a certain place.
So if you are looking for promotion from God and you begin to say, God, promote me, God,
promote me, God, and you don't say God, promote me, will you get it?
Is it because God is not going to give you?
Even God gives you, when God brings the promotion, you'll be collecting it from here.
Then someone says, why doesn't God just know where I am and come and bring it like that?
Then you won't go to step out of his world, which is not possible.
Praise the name of the Lord.
I will gather in his place.
So when you leave God out, you become wretched.
When you leave God out, you become wretched.
When you leave God out, something will always be wrong somewhere.
Hallelujah.
A lot of us, we fix our mind on miracles more than God.
That you are even a minister and you need to get time to study the word, you need to
get time to personally develop and form ministry in you.
You will not.
Always you are dreaming about how to raise the dead, how to heal the sick, how to do
this, how to do that.
You are interested in the explosive manifestation of God above the formation of God in you.
That as you form God in you, a time comes and you stand to minister.
People will see substance and content.
You will not.
So here you are, you are very loud on miracles.
You are very loud on explosive manifestations.
And yet if we put microphone that take and preach, you can't preach.
We give you microphone take and preach.
You can't preach.
We give you microphone take and you don't even care about it.
You don't care about it.
Let me tell you what, God does not run the world based on miracles.
He runs the world based on principles.
Principles.
And the principles, the principles of His word.
I'm closing now.
I couldn't teach well.
I mean, like I couldn't teach what I wanted to teach.
So it's very important.
It's very important that you allow God to form in you.
Begin to think about the God formation.
Maybe next I will teach you about that message.
The God formation.
The God formation in you.
Not just God around you.
Not just what God can do with you.
But God form.
He says that my children in whom I travel unto Christ be formed in you.
So Christ has to be formed.
The word formed then means that Christ becomes complete in you.
So there's a difference between someone who can preach, who can do ministry, and somebody
who ministry has been formed in the person.
When you see those people you know.
There are people who are prayed by gifts.
You're just prayed by gifts.
They can stand there and preach.
You turn outside out.
And I want to tell somebody right now.
Or preach as well.
As your generator.
The whole place is cast out.
Somebody that's not even need to pray.
The person will start seeing.
Sorry.
All right.
Use God.
That's all.
you. What do you follow? What
do you follow?
Yes.
And I want you to know the
word and I want to it's not
always about the way it's not I
wanted to know the word.
young guy.
What do you mean? You can't even
I poetry. intoxicated with the
exuberance of your robustness.
Say.
Say, ah, yes, hey, any problem.
Then my brother says we are not.
So we have suffered in and said, well,
and no man, no man, no man, no man.
I saw it.
And also, oh, that's not how God wants you to live.
Praise the name of the Lord, God wants himself to be formed in you,
that when you appear, when you are facing any situation,
you will not face the situation as somebody who has God in heaven,
but you face the situation as somebody who has God in him.
Formed in him.
Are you understanding that? Praise the name of the Lord.
You can now lay hands on yourself.
You can now command things to check out of your body.
You can now command things out of the bodies of people.
Hallelujah. Don't just say I'm afraid, afraid, afraid of me.
I'm even tired. I'm not even done. I'm done.
You are not done.
The problem is that you are wrongly synchronizing yourself with God.
You are not properly aligned.
Hallelujah. I want to get out of this place.
All right. So can we go to Genesis?
Can we go to Genesis? Oh, it should close.
Hallelujah. Have you had a wonderful time?
Put 16 there. 16 11.
That will show me the path of life in thy presence is fullness of joy,
the completeness of joy in thy presence is the completeness of joy.
Anything that makes happy in his presence is the completion of it.
You cannot abandon God and have completeness.
Let me show you that. And then I'm done.
Colossians chapter two. I'm just done.
I'm not going to talk again.
We just have to leave this place right now and go home.
Colossians chapter two.
Let's begin from five now. Emphasis on eight there about.
Let's go to verse seven.
I just finished the preaching right now.
Hallelujah. Then we can just be defined.
Rooted and let's do six so that we can understand where we're coming from.
As we have therefore received Christ, Jesus, the Lord.
So what ye in him.
It's a very powerful scripture.
And the word from the Greek as a walk is not just to come to church as you have
received Christ, Jesus, the Lord, progress.
Genuine he grew in him.
So don't just receive Jesus.
Don't just be born again and then fail to progress in him.
And that goes to all of us who have joined the church fresh, especially see
a brother who came to me
and he was telling me how he used to live his life and all of that and how he's
been to church twice and how church has changed his life.
Then I told the brothers, I said, you know what?
You are now you are excited, but the time is going to come.
If care is not taking, you will not even come to church again.
So there is a responsibility on you.
We cannot come and be chasing you for church every day.
Truly, truly.
We have a lot of things to do.
The moment man of God says, Oh, we are going to win.
So see it.
You are forgotten.
But here you are.
When you receive Jesus, you were happy.
When you come to church, you are happy, but you are not happy.
You are not happy.
You are not happy, but you are not progressing in the Lord.
The progress in the Lord is your responsibility.
So after you become born again, you have to now decide that I want to grow in Christ.
I want to get in this place.
Come on.
I want to grow in Christ.
I want to know Jesus.
Now you are going to pick up yourself and come to church on Sundays.
And come to church on Wednesday evenings, even when you are back from work and you are tired.
You have to Friday.
You have to.
What are you doing?
You are pushing.
You are striving to.
Grow in the Lord.
Then as you do that, a time will come.
Your system will get used to then other areas of your life.
You begin to strive in it.
It's not just enough to come to church and say, Father, I left my heart.
Come into my heart.
This day I worship you.
Oh, here too.
They will lay hands on you.
They receive tongues.
Then you just pray in tongues like that.
And then that is that.
Then you don't become very conscious of your life with God, because listen, this coming to church thing is not just about we sit into down here.
No, it is about your life that you are building with God.
So the Bible says as you have received Jesus, the word means that.
Some of us.
We have to join something.
Some of us.
Just come here yourself and come and pray.
Just come here yourself and come and help with something.
Just join something.
And then as we are meeting, you are coming and all of that.
It will not be easy.
Sometimes you can easy.
You can even forget it.
How many of us have been here that you forgot that you have a meeting?
All of you are holy people.
And then you forget it.
You understand.
But still, what do you do?
You walk in him.
So the Bible says walk in him.
Next verse, next verse.
Whose scripture?
A scripture I'm talking about.
It's not church.
What do we want to see here?
He says that as you have received the Lord Jesus Christ, walk ye in him, rooted and built up in him.
Start to worship him.
So this is what you are supposed to do.
Hallelujah.
You have to be rooted.
You have to be built.
You have to be established in the faith.
Hallelujah.
So it's not just about I belong to a church.
I remember there's a church.
I'm not mentioning the name of the church, but I've been in the church before.
Very, very first church like in the church like that.
People just come to church after church, they take pictures and they go home.
Amen.
But if you met one person and you told them that Jesus saves, can you explain that?
The person will not be able to explain it.
The person does not even know.
Somebody came to church one time and not here, that church.
They were not there.
Somebody came to church one time and not here, that church.
Then the person came and the person was not holding the Bible.
It's not in the church.
So for fear, I say, because I just, oh, God, what that?
So I'm not gracing it.
Just watching like that.
In the church.
So at least, no problem.
The pastor is still preaching.
After the service, the man who just, they made a closing prayer and the pastor blessed us.
And the pastor said, he will be with Jesus.
He will be with the pastor.
Then I just called him.
Then I sat in front of the church.
I'm just standing there, I'm just watching.
I'm like, oh, okay.
Why would your life be like that?
This Christians in the Bible say we have to be rooted in it.
We have to be built in it.
We have to be established in it.
Suddenly your house, they'll begin to see something different about you.
Here you are.
You didn't used to pray.
But one dawn, then you are there now.
Sorry.
Then you don't even know what to say.
Then you begin.
You don't even know what is happening.
And you just go like 30 minutes.
Then the Holy Spirit says, that's okay.
Rooted, built up in you.
Here you are.
You wake up.
You that you wake up and your face looks like a mosquito box.
You wake up and you are smiling.
Or you wake up and it looks like, ah, there's something about you.
Something is changing around you.
People now begin to testify.
Something is changing in your life.
Something is very different.
Something is happening.
By the time they realize, they will see you in one cue.
Where are you going?
So, y'all sorry.
Gospel will be your end.
Gospel.
Now you're going to have a more course here.
Quake evangelism.
Like that, like that, like that.
This is your life that has been turned all the way from that negative side.
And God has brought it rightly in place.
The things that used to move you never moves you again.
The things that makes you go gaka.
There's this lady.
He came for a meeting.
And our first time of meeting the lady, the lady was running with sugar daddy.
The lady was really, really, really, really sugar daddy.
And she is, she is boob-able.
Boob-able.
That means she's beyond beautiful.
Boob-able.
This is boob-able.
And they will see me in that scene.
They will perfume.
At some time, no, cannot make up.
You said I can't make up.
You said I will be, I will be.
I am afraid I will be able to make up.
You could say this is boob-able.
Paper, paper, paper, paper.
That I think was around removal or something.
Like that, like that, like that, like that.
One time she came and she's telling me all the things she has done.
The number of abortions.
And how she has almost collapsed from marriage.
Or crack.
So for example, how many years?
20 or something, 22 or something like that.
Or 23 there.
Or crack.
So I'm telling you now.
I just am making up.
And yet, and I'm just looking.
And I saw all the things she was saying.
I was not even understanding.
But I don't know.
Then she says, but I don't know.
Or she may feel it's a can thing, like something that a boy is eating in it.
And they have washed the bowl.
Or she says, that's what I feel within.
But deep down, that's what I feel.
Now here, I didn't know to say go or don't go.
But with time, with time, then she comes to say, I have stopped.
I have seen that there's no joy in those things.
So for this reason now, jai boni!
Listen, as you walk in the Lord, as you progress in him, as you take steps in him,
sometimes it looks very difficult.
Sometimes you are even tired.
But listen, it's part of your personal conceptualization of God.
You get up and you go.
You get up, you open the Bible.
Then you read it and you sometimes you begin by reading.
You are sleeping.
It's fine.
But just make sure I'll do this thing for 10 minutes and start talking to God.
Imagine you open your Bible and you need to talk to God.
By the time you are done, you talk to God.
That's a powerful start.
So the Bible says, rooted, built up in him, established in the faith as you have been taught.
A bad thing daring with Thanksgiving.
You open your Bible, thank you Jesus, thank you Lord.
See, there are some things that are Christian.
They are just Christian.
For example, thank you Father.
You don't have to be in the Spirit to say, thank you Lord Jesus.
You wake up in the morning or you just sit down.
You know my mother, my mother, Otis Nasi, Otis Nasi.
Meja sama in.
I was like, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, Meja sama in.
Someone that said, hey, ma, weja sama or wefa.
She's just calling on the Father's ghost.
And I say, when you sit down, just say, rademudah haas.
Think about it.
So like you sit down, you get up and say, thank you Father.
Thank you Jesus.
You are in the car.
The moment you get down, it just comes up.
Thank you Lord.
Thank you Father.
Paul said that I would have men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands.
Can you imagine?
You are walking in town and then you just go, thank you Jesus.
And then your hands are down.
If somebody is walking there, hey, sana Christus sumitie.
Thank you Father.
Thank you Lord.
It's not.
Thank you Father.
Oh thank you Father.
That's all he's talking about.
Thank you Jesus.
Thank you.
Thank you Father.
Jesus is abound with thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving, thank you Father.
Thank you Lord.
The next verse.
Next verse.
He says, listen, let me tell you this thing.
Beware.
I'm talking to you about being rooted.
I'm talking to you about being built.
I'm closing now.
I'm talking to you about being established in the faith.
Abounding in it with thanksgivings.
I'm talking to you about progressing in Jesus.
But listen, let me warn you.
Beware.
Beware lest any man put in the different version, the HCSB or something, any of the serious diseases.
He says, take care that no one takes you away by force.
Through man's wisdom and deceit.
Going after the beliefs of men and the theories of the world and not after Christ.
I wish you had NLT. I don't know if you have NLT.
Do you have NLT?
Who has NLT?
Okay, don't let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high sounding nonsense.
That come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world rather than from Christ.
Now, he says, don't allow anybody.
Here you are, you are going to church.
Or you read your Bible, you pray a little, you come to church, you can see that you are started something.
Then somebody comes to tell you on TV, on social media, my name is Ajagul Raja or my name is Agulagulu.
My name is all kinds of foolish things.
Then you begin to listen.
The Bible says, now you are born again, beware.
In your personal life, beware.
So that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deceit based on human traditions,
based on elemental forces of the world and not based on Christ.
Next verse, then listen.
That's where the fellowship comes in.
He says, verse 9.
Mecrafatus.
He says, for my interest is in the word for.
This is the reason why you should not allow anybody to come and tell you anything and take you captive.
Don't allow anybody.
It's because in Christ, it's because in Christ dwells the totality of the Godhead.
Lord deliver me.
So he says, my people have committed two sins.
That's what he's explaining here.
They've abandoned me the fountain of living water.
So he's telling you that don't abandon.
Don't allow anybody to give you a broken system that cannot hold water.
Because in Christ dwells man to value the entire elopes.
In Christ, this Jesus that we walk with, this Christ that has come to believe, this Christ that we sing about,
this Christ we read about from the word, this Christ we talk about, this Christ we enjoy.
He, the Bible says, in him is the entire fullness of the Godhead.
My, you taste it.
There is nothing of God outside Christ.
Outside Christ, there's nothing called God.
When I'm fellowshipping with God, when I'm building a life of fellowship with Christ, it's not a joke.
Because this one that is being formed in me, in him dwells, down where I'll preach it.
I'll preach maybe next year.
The word in King James, put King James there.
The word in him dwells means that to recite, to have influence.
The influence of the totality of God is realized in Christ.
My, my, my, my, my, my.
So what it means is that, for example, in Christ, let me put it like that.
Say, in this room, this room has maybe lights, I'm done, right, lights, and out there is total darkness.
Then you are told that inside the room, the light is very active.
So when you come inside the room, you meet the activeness of the light.
So the balance is in Christ, the entire fullness of God abides and is at full force.
You don't understand that.
So listen, you may go somewhere and try to get something that looks like water.
But in Christ is the entire fullness, masturbatus.
In Christ is the fullness, it's not the halfness, it's the complete, meio, meio, meio,
which is in Christ is the totality, the fullness of date.
The power of God is full in Christ.
The wisdom of God is full in Christ.
The abilities of God is full in Christ.
Inside Christ, there is nothing of God that cannot be found.
In its totality.
Then the Bible makes a wow statement in the verse 10, and let's go.
And you are complete in him.
It is in him that you are complete.
Don't look for completion in any other thing.
Your completion is in him.
In the presence of the Lord, in thy presence is my completion.
In thy presence is my fullness.
He says in him you are complete.
Here you are, looking for completions, looking for all kinds of things.
At the detriment of your spiritual life.
You are looking for a job you don't consider your spiritual life.
You are looking to marry somebody you don't consider your Christian life.
You are looking for this you don't consider.
You are making decisions you don't consider.
You don't even have a life of fellowship.
Do you know what is happening to you?
You are living where you are complete.
Baby I will give you any crystal.
Do you understand?
So in thy presence is totality.
So as I am in his presence there is totality.
And I told you that Adam in that first state he was naked and not ashamed.
He was naked and not ashamed.
He did not have a sense of nakedness.
He did not even know that he was naked.
He was not ashamed.
He was just walking. Why?
Because in your presence is fullness.
Because in him you are complete.
So in Christ I may be naked but in Christ I am complete.
Do you understand what I am talking about?
My completion is in Christ.
So as long as I am in Christ alone I am complete.
I am complete.
Shout it I am complete.
I am complete.
So you get up and you shout in prayer.
You get up and you love the Lord.
You get up and you bless the Lord.
Because in him you are complete.
Just be outstanding.
I can't continue because of our time.
Just open your mouth in prayer.
Blessing the Lord.
Hallelujah.
Don't miss, hold on before you do the, don't miss Friday.
Friday we are going to have a powerful prayer session.
Hallelujah.
Friday will be full of prayer.
I will not be teaching a lot.
I am trusting the Lord.
I am complete.
Hallelujah.
In Christ I am complete.
If there is anything that is battling the presence of God in your life, you let it go.
And you focus on your completion.
Now open your mouth one more time and bless the name of the Lord.
For such an awesome and powerful service.
In the name of Jesus.
I am complete.
I am complete in Christ.
The God formation.
Now lift your two hands up.
Father we thank you.
We thank you.
We thank you Father.
That you are forming in us.
You are forming in us.
We give our hearts to our life of fellowship.
Thank you for bringing us into your presence.
And in your presence there is fullness of joy.
Thank you Lord.
In the name of the Lord Jesus.
Amen.
The end.
I am in the white haired and knit by your births.
My heart is captured to work.
I have in me the burning fire.
