1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:27,080
wheelhouse

2
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:39,080
In the white and amid fire burns My heart is captured to work

3
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:52,080
I have in me the burning fire Oh, a sound of great things

4
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:58,080
I have in me the burning fire

5
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:26,080
Don't stand there, I do. Lift up your voice

6
00:01:52,080 --> 00:02:16,080
Oh, thank you Jesus. Thank you Jesus. Lift up your two hands one more time.

7
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:26,080
You want to prophetically speak into your ears, like prophetically.

8
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:35,080
Even as the Lord has led us as a ministry with a direction

9
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:42,080
that 2023 is going to be our year of far-reaching labor.

10
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:47,080
You want to lift up your voice and say, Father, I'm included in this agenda.

11
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:53,080
I am included in this agenda.

12
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:59,080
Come on, come on.

13
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,080
I'm included in this agenda.

14
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:12,080
Kada vabai.

15
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:19,080
Thank you Jesus.

16
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:25,080
Hallelujah. You may be seated.

17
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:31,080
Praise the name of the Lord.

18
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:36,080
Praise the name of the Lord.

19
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:46,080
Look at somebody and tell the person, we are exceeding every fixed limit.

20
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:52,080
Say, we are exceeding every fixed measure.

21
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:58,080
How about time? We are exceeding every fixed measure.

22
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:03,080
Come on, we are exceeding every fixed measure.

23
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:10,080
Come on, say like you mean, say we are exceeding every fixed measure.

24
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:15,080
Praise the name of the Lord. Hallelujah.

25
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:21,080
I pray for you in the name of Jesus that throughout this year

26
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:28,080
you will be so firm in the things of God.

27
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:34,080
I pray for you that in this year you will be so firm,

28
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:39,080
so firm in the things of God that nothing will move you.

29
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:45,080
Things that shook you last year will not move you.

30
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:50,080
Mistakes that you did last year will not move you.

31
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:56,080
Are you understanding that? And that you'll be able to lay everything aback

32
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,080
and focus on what the Lord seeks to do with you.

33
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:06,080
I'm telling you, you are included in where the Lord is taking us.

34
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,080
Did you hear what I just told you? You are included in where the Lord is taking us.

35
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:14,080
The Lord is taking us somewhere.

36
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,080
The Lord is taking us somewhere.

37
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,080
How many of us believe that the Lord is taking us somewhere?

38
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,080
See, and that this year you will realize so much growth.

39
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:30,080
So much growth. So much growth.

40
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:35,080
So much growth. So much growth. So much growth.

41
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:39,080
So much growth. So much growth.

42
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:44,080
Growth over weaknesses, growth over sicknesses,

43
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,080
growth over worries and anxiety. So much growth.

44
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:53,080
So much growth. So much growth. So much growth.

45
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,080
The things that caused you to worry last year,

46
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:02,080
you will see them and you will just walk over them.

47
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,080
You will see them and you will just walk over them.

48
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,080
In the name of Jesus.

49
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:12,080
Shatna Bahasaya.

50
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,080
I pray for you.

51
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,080
That even just by the first three months,

52
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:25,080
you will so much see the driving force of the Spirit.

53
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,080
Are you understanding that? You will so much see.

54
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,080
You will so much see that you know you are going somewhere.

55
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:37,080
But in that three months, these 90 days ahead of us,

56
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,080
not just are you going to know that you are going somewhere,

57
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,080
but you'll be driven by the Spirit of God.

58
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,080
To the direction of the Spirit. To the direction of the Spirit.

59
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:53,080
To the direction of the Spirit. You'll be so much driven.

60
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:58,080
So much driven. So much driven.

61
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:04,080
Even as the Lord gave us a prophecy last night,

62
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:09,080
that there will be unrest in our spirits.

63
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,080
Until we do the bidding of the Spirit.

64
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:17,080
Unrest, unrest, unrest, unrest.

65
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,080
Oh glory to God. Unrest.

66
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,080
Unrest. Hallelujah.

67
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,080
We'll see that for some few minutes.

68
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:42,080
The month of January is the month of feasting on the fullness of faith.

69
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:46,080
Feasting on the fullness of faith. Hallelujah.

70
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,080
It means that this month,

71
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:59,080
our focus as a ministry is on faith.

72
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:08,080
Now this year, the Lord gave very beautiful direction to all of us.

73
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:13,080
He gave very beautiful direction to us.

74
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,080
All your pastors, in fact all of us as pastors,

75
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,080
we are going to be preaching the same thing.

76
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,080
See, I will not be talking about the Holy Ghost here,

77
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,080
and you'll be talking about Rapture somewhere.

78
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,080
Praise the Lord.

79
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,080
We are all going to say the same thing, preach from the same thing.

80
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,080
I mean if you were to be in your church today,

81
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,080
you would have heard your pastor saying the same thing that I'm saying.

82
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:46,080
Hallelujah.

83
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:48,080
Yes.

84
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,080
Tell somebody we are feasting.

85
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:57,080
Come on, tell somebody we are feasting on the fullness of faith.

86
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:02,080
Tell another person by your side, say we are feasting.

87
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:07,080
Isn't it amazing that January 1st, first Sunday of the year,

88
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:12,080
we are supposed to have maybe, you know, like a get together here or something.

89
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:14,080
We are feasting on faith.

90
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,080
This is the powerful feast.

91
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:19,080
Praise the Lord.

92
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:24,080
So we are feasting on the fullness of faith.

93
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,080
So by the time we are done with this month,

94
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:32,080
you should be able to have a grasp on faith.

95
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,080
Our devotion is in circulation.

96
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:47,080
Praise the Lord.

97
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:54,080
And let me use a few minutes to talk about the devotional.

98
00:09:55,080 --> 00:10:00,080
So the devotional is also one of the directions the Lord gave for the year.

99
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,080
And you know, from the past devotionals,

100
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:10,080
when I get up, whatever I'm inspired to write, that's what I write.

101
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:18,080
Or sometimes what I use as my, how do you call it, my quiet time is what I share.

102
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,080
But then this year, this is what the Lord wants us to do.

103
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:27,080
The devotional is alongside what is being taught in church.

104
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:33,080
So today's episode was, how many of you have read that?

105
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:35,080
Let me see your hand.

106
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:37,080
Come on.

107
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:40,080
Wow. How many of us have not seen it?

108
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:42,080
Okay.

109
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,080
How many of us have not been online today?

110
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:47,080
Okay. So that's why.

111
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:54,080
So do well to read, because the message is that the devotionals are attracted

112
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:59,080
to go alongside with what is being taught in church.

113
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,080
The devotional is first of all for you.

114
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:04,080
Praise God.

115
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,080
Praise God. Come on. I said, praise God.

116
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:09,080
It's first of all for you.

117
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:14,080
So you, whatever you're taught in church,

118
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,080
like it, it adds up to it.

119
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:20,080
Are you understanding that?

120
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:22,080
You'll be shocked that you read a devotional, you go to church,

121
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:29,080
and your pastor will be teaching on that devotional and expounding the devotional.

122
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:31,080
Hallelujah.

123
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,080
Come on. Praise the Lord.

124
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:43,080
So it means if you really want to flow this year in the spirit or in the direction of this ministry,

125
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:53,080
as the Lord has given, one of the things you are going to really pay attention to and be religious about is the devotional.

126
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:55,080
Praise the Lord.

127
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,080
See, it is not first of all for sharing.

128
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,080
It is first of all for studying.

129
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,080
So you read it, you study it, and then you share.

130
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,080
What a lot of people do, oh, it's in.

131
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:14,080
There are prayer sessions in the devotionals.

132
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:19,080
So you want to spend some time after you read and pray in there.

133
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:25,080
That prayer writing there, let me say this, the prayer writing there is not necessarily what you're supposed to pray.

134
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:30,080
That prayer there is to give you a direction of your prayer.

135
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:32,080
Hallelujah.

136
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:34,080
Yes.

137
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:39,080
And then there's also one year Bible reading plan.

138
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,080
Now that is one of the most important things to me in the devotional.

139
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:51,080
So if you are able to read the devotional daily and then read the Bible plan,

140
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:57,080
by the time we are done with the year, you would have read the Bible, the full Bible.

141
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:07,080
You know, there are people, I mean some of you are here, you've never read the Bible like at a go, like you read.

142
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:12,080
How many of you have read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation at a go?

143
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,080
Like you read, you read, see nobody.

144
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:22,080
So it's an opportunity for you to fully read the Bible and you know, it's a challenge.

145
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:28,080
So pick it up and say, Father, as part of the many things you want to do with us,

146
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:33,080
I am going to read the word of God from cover to cover.

147
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:35,080
Hallelujah.

148
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,080
Are you understanding that? From cover to cover. I'm going to read the word.

149
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,080
So don't joke with it.

150
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:46,080
I mean I think average you are going to read like four chapters in a day.

151
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:48,080
Don't miss any.

152
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:50,080
Hallelujah.

153
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:52,080
Read it.

154
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,080
And most importantly, read it with your hard copy Bible.

155
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,080
Alright, with your pen.

156
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:05,080
As you read you are underlined because you are going to, see you are going to meet amazing things in the word of God.

157
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,080
Amazing things in the word of God.

158
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:15,080
Amazing things in the word of God. David says, open my eyes that I might behold wondrous things from your word.

159
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,080
So there are wondrous things in the word of God.

160
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:20,080
Hallelujah.

161
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,080
See there are Christians who don't read the Bible.

162
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,080
May God help me not to change my message.

163
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:33,080
I will close very soon. I'm not going to take a lot of time.

164
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,080
There are Christians who don't read the Bible.

165
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:42,080
And let me tell you what, without studying the word of God, God cannot help you.

166
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,080
Not God will not help you. He can't.

167
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,080
God cannot help you.

168
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:56,080
See that one of the main reasons for people going through challenges for a long time.

169
00:14:56,080 --> 00:15:02,080
I've been in this situation for 10 years, for 12 years, for 15 years.

170
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:07,080
You know, because they don't know what the Bible says about that situation.

171
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:13,080
No, just take for example, if you are somebody who constantly have the,

172
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,080
you have the temptation to commit suicide.

173
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,080
That means you are facing depression.

174
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:29,080
Are you here with me? So you go into the word of God and you find out what God says about peace.

175
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:35,080
The promises of God in the Bible concern soundness of mind.

176
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,080
You read the Bible and the Bible tells you that,

177
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,080
cast all your cares upon him for he cares.

178
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:48,080
You don't just read it, it, it, it is not about the word of God.

179
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:54,080
You don't just read it, it, it will enter into your soul.

180
00:15:56,080 --> 00:16:00,080
Hallelujah. And the Bible tells you be anxious for nothing.

181
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:05,080
Be anxious in, in nothing. Be anxious.

182
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:12,080
Don't fret, don't be scared about anything. God, God, God is a big deal.

183
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:16,080
And did this guy know what we are going to be dealing with? He says don't be scared.

184
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,080
Don't be perplexed about anything.

185
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:26,080
But in everything, by prayer and supplication.

186
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,080
So it means that if I am a student of my Bible,

187
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:40,080
things that come to me to get me to commit suicide or to get me to be worried and all of that,

188
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:42,080
I will pray them out.

189
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:46,080
Hallelujah.

190
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,080
So you find one person, he's in a situation for long.

191
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:55,080
And it's like a cycle.

192
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,080
It stops, then it comes. It stops.

193
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:05,080
It stops, then it comes. It stops, then it comes. It stops, then it comes. It stops, then it comes. It stops, then it comes.

194
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,080
The Bible says the word of God is living and active.

195
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:15,080
God's word is alive. It is active.

196
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:24,080
See, the moment you introduce the word of God into any situation,

197
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,080
the power of that situation is broken.

198
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,080
The power of that situation is broken.

199
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:33,080
It's broken.

200
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:41,080
The Bible says it's my word, not like hammer, that breaks the rocks into pieces.

201
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:49,080
So if I give my mind to God's word, there is no situation that can be a mountain, an unmovable mountain in my life.

202
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:54,080
I just have to keep on supplying the word of God. It will explode.

203
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:55,080
It will explode.

204
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,080
Christians are not supposed to suffer.

205
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:02,080
Now write that down.

206
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,080
Christians are not supposed to suffer.

207
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:10,080
We are not supposed to suffer sicknesses, we are not supposed to suffer depressions, we are not supposed to... No.

208
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:16,080
See, one of the elements that brought people to Christ was the joy of the brethren.

209
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:18,080
The joy of the brethren.

210
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,080
Because the very moment somebody becomes born again,

211
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:28,080
in the early church, they will see that person, suddenly, in the face of trouble, he is happy, he is joyful.

212
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:33,080
And they are like, what is happening? What have you seen?

213
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:41,080
That is one of the main characteristics of a child of God.

214
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:47,080
So if you are a child of God and you are not constantly excited, something is wrong.

215
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:54,080
Hallelujah. And that's why the word of God is there for you.

216
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:59,080
It does not... See, there is no sickness in this world.

217
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:05,080
There is no sickness yet to come that the word of God cannot heal.

218
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:08,080
Think about it.

219
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:11,080
Just one word.

220
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:16,080
Just one word. There is... My goodness.

221
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,080
There's no sickness.

222
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,080
Even if it's in the bones, the world can travel there.

223
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,080
If it's in the blood, the world can go there.

224
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,080
If it's in the head, the word of God can go there.

225
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:40,080
The word of God can go even into the dead and bring the dead back to life.

226
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:47,080
You ask a Christian, do you read the Bible? He says, no, I don't feel like reading the Bible.

227
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:53,080
And you allow the devil to make you think you don't feel like reading the Bible.

228
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,080
That's like... It's like an abomination.

229
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,080
See, it's like your life has been taken away from you.

230
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:12,080
Now, if somebody right now comes to attack you and you have the means to defend, wouldn't you defend?

231
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,080
Come on, wouldn't you defend?

232
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,080
Are you going to say, I don't feel like defending?

233
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,080
Let there be a fire outbreak in this building right now.

234
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,080
Do you know the first thing we'll do? We'll go outside.

235
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,080
We'll go outside.

236
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:32,080
Who among you here will say, I don't feel like going outside?

237
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,080
This year, you are going to learn a lot of things.

238
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,080
There are a lot of stupidities of last year. You are not bringing it this year.

239
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,080
Yeah, the word of God is quick and active.

240
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,080
Very powerful.

241
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,080
There is no power in this world that can be compared to the world.

242
00:20:56,080 --> 00:21:04,080
The Bible says it is able to separate, to draw a perfect distinction between the spirit and the soul.

243
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,080
And it's a designer of thoughts.

244
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,080
See, I was talking about the devotional.

245
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:19,080
So that's why the one year Bible reading plan challenge is very important.

246
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:22,080
Yeah.

247
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:28,080
You read it and don't read it while you are doing a lot of things. Have time for the word.

248
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:30,080
Are you understanding that?

249
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:32,080
I said do what?

250
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,080
Yeah, have time for the word of God.

251
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:36,080
Have time.

252
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,080
Have time for the word of God.

253
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,080
Have time for the word of God.

254
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:43,080
Have time.

255
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,080
And then there is the feather study.

256
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:58,080
So whatever is taught to you in the devotional, one or two scriptures are put in there to, I mean, to extend your knowledge of what, because you know, if I really want to write, every day will be a book.

257
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:01,080
Glory to God.

258
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:04,080
Every day will be a book.

259
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,080
Faith that works, but one, one book.

260
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:09,080
Faith that works, part two.

261
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,080
And it's from part one to part seven.

262
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:15,080
Yes.

263
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:16,080
So you have seven books.

264
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,080
That's how we are going to be writing books this year.

265
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:21,080
Glory to God.

266
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:23,080
Yeah.

267
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:31,080
And then when you study it, share it out for the people you are sharing to, you can't really instruct them to do all these things.

268
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:32,080
It's, it's must.

269
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,080
You can, you can, you can actually admonish them.

270
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:40,080
But you know, this devotional primarily is not for people out there who would have continued with Reina's devotional.

271
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,080
That's why the name is changed.

272
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,080
It's for those of us in church.

273
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:50,080
And like I told you, every message in the devotional for this year is something that's going to be taught in church.

274
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:57,080
So you stand a better chance of understanding it well.

275
00:22:58,080 --> 00:22:59,080
Hallelujah.

276
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,080
I mean, except you don't want, you don't follow it.

277
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:02,080
You don't read it.

278
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:03,080
I need to be seen in your life.

279
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:06,080
Yeah.

280
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:07,080
I need to be seen in your life.

281
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,080
See, there's a grace that I have in writing.

282
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:17,080
When you read anything I write, it's like I'm standing there talking to you.

283
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:20,080
Am I lying?

284
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:21,080
Yeah.

285
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:22,080
Yeah.

286
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:25,080
I can't lie.

287
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,080
I can't lie.

288
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,080
Minister Fever was editing, proofreading one of the books.

289
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:35,080
I think it was this Jesus.

290
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:44,080
And then he, she called me and we're talking and she said, once I was reading the book, I could just imagine you walking in the room.

291
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,080
I could see you walking in the room, talking.

292
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,080
I said, yeah, that's how it is.

293
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:52,080
Hallelujah.

294
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:54,080
Yeah.

295
00:23:54,080 --> 00:24:04,080
I think one of the SHS students or something, yeah, gave a welcome to Christ to with a senior or something.

296
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,080
And he went to see the person slain in the Holy Ghost.

297
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:12,080
Reading that portion on tongues and how to receive tongues.

298
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:14,080
The person got slain.

299
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,080
If I was to be a courtic man and my books would have been very powerful.

300
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,080
Like how to suspend in the air.

301
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,080
You will read it and you suspend.

302
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:26,080
See, so read it.

303
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:28,080
Are you going to read it?

304
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:29,080
Yeah, read it.

305
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:35,080
And by the time we are somewhere in the middle of the year, we'll take your testimonies from the devotionals.

306
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:39,080
If you don't have testimony, then we know you are part of those who don't read.

307
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:45,080
You wake up early in the morning, the first thing you are looking for is what people are saying on WhatsApp.

308
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,080
Some of you, you are not busy in life.

309
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:49,080
That's your problem.

310
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:57,080
Because you know, if you have, if you are running behind time, you will not even know where your phone is.

311
00:24:58,080 --> 00:24:59,080
Hallelujah.

312
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:00,080
So read it.

313
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:01,080
Glory to God.

314
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:02,080
Praise God.

315
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:04,080
All right.

316
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:08,080
So I'm talking to you about faith, right?

317
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:10,080
As a teacher.

318
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:14,080
Faith, right? As a teacher.

319
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:17,080
Okay.

320
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,080
So we are talking about the ABCs of faith.

321
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,080
The title of the message is ABCs of faith.

322
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:30,080
ABC apostrophe S.

323
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,080
I'm simply talking about fundamentals of faith.

324
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,080
Hallelujah.

325
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,080
What is faith?

326
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:41,080
Oh, it's 12 already.

327
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,080
That's a few minutes.

328
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,080
Says, I don't believe you have few minutes.

329
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:48,080
I do.

330
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,080
What is faith?

331
00:25:53,080 --> 00:26:00,080
Now, before we get to know what is faith, let me just give you a glimpse of how important this subject is.

332
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:01,080
Are you here with me, everybody?

333
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:02,080
Yes.

334
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:05,080
How many of us have heard faith, faith, faith?

335
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,080
You've heard faith, faith, faith, faith.

336
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,080
How many of you have heard faith before?

337
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:10,080
All right.

338
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:11,080
So almost every one of us have heard faith.

339
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:12,080
What is faith?

340
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:14,080
The faith that you heard.

341
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,080
What is faith?

342
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:18,080
Uh huh.

343
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,080
Now, don't come and tell me faith is a substance of things.

344
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:29,080
What is faith?

345
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,080
What is faith?

346
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:43,080
So, like I said, before we know what faith is, I want us to look at just three reasons faith is very important.

347
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,080
All right.

348
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,080
So let's go to Habakkuk 2.4.

349
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:54,080
Based on my...

350
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:08,080
Are you all there?

351
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:10,080
All right.

352
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,080
All of you read it out loud.

353
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:17,080
One, two, go.

354
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:18,080
I don't like how you're reading.

355
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:27,080
One, two, go.

356
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:39,080
One more time.

357
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:43,080
The sun, his sun which is lifted up is not upright in him.

358
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,080
And that's what we're trying to look at.

359
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,080
I could have given you the background and stuff like that, but that's not needed now.

360
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:55,080
But the just shall live by...

361
00:27:56,080 --> 00:28:00,080
They just shall live by his faith.

362
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,080
Now who is a just person?

363
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:06,080
A just person is a man who works with God.

364
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,080
In this context.

365
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:18,640
the just is one who works with God. Somebody who identifies with God.

366
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:27,800
Hallelujah. One who identifies with God. One who who says I am a godly man. I'm a

367
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:37,760
man that knows God. That is the just. The moment you get born again, you've become

368
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:44,160
a just man. Hallelujah. Now because you get born again to work with God, the Bible

369
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:48,680
says that God is faithful by whom you were called onto the fellowship of his

370
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:55,540
son. Alright? 1st Corinthians 1 9. So we are called to work with God and then he

371
00:28:55,540 --> 00:29:01,480
says the moment you come into that fraternity, the moment you come into the

372
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:05,920
assembly of a man who is working with God, the moment you make up your mind I

373
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:16,320
am living or working with God, then you live by faith. It means that if you live

374
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:27,400
by faith then you die by... Can you imagine that? What kind of analogy is that? You die by faith.

375
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:33,200
Have you ever heard the Bible say somebody died by faith? You don't die by faith. If

376
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:45,240
you live by faith, you die by unbelief. Now, babies of you are thinking about

377
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:58,880
Hebrews 11. All these died. All these died. They died. Okay. They died in faith and

378
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:04,560
they did not receive a promise. Alright? They had a good report of faith. They

379
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:09,320
died in faith. They didn't die by faith. And there are two different things. In simple

380
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:23,040
English. So, the just shall live by faith. It means that if the just abandons faith,

381
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:34,720
if the just abandons his faith, he has no life. Now, this is very important. If a

382
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:46,720
just man lives apart from faith or apart from his faith, he's got no life. Tell

383
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:58,720
somebody 2023. I will live. Come on. Say it again. In 2023, I will live. Now, how are you

384
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:09,480
going to do that? By faith. So, it says it is by faith or it is by the just faith that he is

385
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:21,200
alive. And the word alive here is not talking about to exist. Alright? To exist.

386
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:35,320
But to be full of energy. To be full of strength. Now, most importantly, one says

387
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:47,440
it means to be sustained in life. The just shall be sustained in life by his

388
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:59,120
faith. By a somebody. Say in the name of Jesus. I will not break down. Come on.

389
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:04,240
Say in the name of Jesus. One more time. In the name of Jesus. I will not break

390
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:11,200
down. You know what I mean? It's in the name of Jesus. I will not break down. Do

391
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:19,160
you know why? Because I live by my faith. I live by my faith. The just shall live

392
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:28,120
by faith. The just shall live by his faith. So, it says you are sustained. To

393
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:37,680
live means to sustain, to be sustained, to be kept together. Hallelujah. To be kept

394
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:42,640
together. I mean, steady in faith. I've come to conclude that if we have any

395
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:53,840
issue at all, we can solve it. Whatever issue it is. So, there is faith is your

396
00:32:53,840 --> 00:33:00,760
sustenance in life. Faith is your sustenance in life. So, faith is not something

397
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:05,480
abstract. Are you understanding that? It's not something abstract. I have faith.

398
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:11,240
I have faith. No. Don't begin from. It is by faith you are sustained. The very

399
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:16,280
moment it looks like you are shaking and you don't have sustenance, you've let

400
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:23,960
you've let go of your faith. See, and faith is a practical walk. It's not just

401
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:27,440
a mental, it's not a mental assent. It's not something you know by your mind.

402
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:31,040
Are you here with me everybody? It's not something you know by your mind. It is a

403
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:43,200
practical walk. So, it says the just shall be sustained in life by his faith. See,

404
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:47,280
when it looks like you don't have any grip on your life, when it looks like your

405
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:57,520
life is going anyhow, don't look at their life. The disciples came to Jesus and

406
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:03,160
they actually will look at that in details. Not today. They came to

407
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:07,800
Jesus and they told Jesus. I mean, a man brought his son for them to heal and

408
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:14,240
they weren't able to heal. They couldn't. And Jesus comes and just cast it out.

409
00:34:14,240 --> 00:34:22,860
Jesus cast out the devil simply. Then in private, these guys came to Jesus, the

410
00:34:22,860 --> 00:34:32,840
disciples, and they said, Master, why could we not heal the boy? In fact, the father of

411
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:38,320
the man said, please help me with my son. I brought him to your disciples and they

412
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:50,000
couldn't. They couldn't cast out the devil. That's funny. He says they couldn't. But you

413
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:54,520
know these disciples have heard or have seen people who are not even following

414
00:34:54,520 --> 00:35:00,840
Jesus casting out devils and they came to report to Jesus. And then now is a

415
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:08,320
demon. I can imagine all the 12 of them. You know that kind of prayer when a

416
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:12,360
pastor and his pastors are casting out demons. A demon is very stubborn and a demon is

417
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:27,400
not going. They've sweat. In fact, they've swat. They've lost their voices.

418
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:37,480
And you see Jesus. While Jesus was talking with the man, the demon

419
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:44,480
manifests. I charge you, come out, come out. And that was that. The disciples were

420
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:49,880
marveled and they said, Master, why could we not cast out the devil? And Jesus says,

421
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:55,720
because of your little feet. And the word little feet there is not talking

422
00:35:55,720 --> 00:35:59,560
about your small feet. Little feet means because of your lack of faith. That is

423
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:07,520
the proper rendering. Because of your lack of faith. Then Jesus says this kind

424
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:16,360
does not go except by prayer and fasting. Come on. Now a lot of people have said a

425
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:19,080
lot of things about it that there are some demons you need to fast to cast

426
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:28,480
them out. That is a high sounding nonsense. You don't need to fast to cast

427
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:37,560
out a demon. Jesus never did one. The Apostles never did one. I mean you meet a

428
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:47,160
demon, you cast the demon out. But the problem is doubts. Unbelief. So Jesus says

429
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:52,200
the demon did not respond because of your unbelief. Oh man, I will talk to you

430
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:57,640
about what it means to have unbelief. What unbelief means. Not today. This year

431
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:09,160
we can do all things. My goodness. I said we can do all things. We can do all

432
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:19,920
things. So Jesus is this kind. This particular unbelief. You deal with it by

433
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:28,480
prayer and fasting. Hallelujah. So you get sustained. You get collected. You get

434
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:41,680
efficient by your faith. Now number two. It means to progress. To make progress.

435
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:50,160
So the righteous or the just shall make progress by his faith.

436
00:37:50,160 --> 00:38:02,920
Ha ya ya ya. Barastonbe. Glory to God. By the fullness of the faith of God, you are

437
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:13,080
making progress. See it's not really so much about how much you know. It's not

438
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:19,520
really so much about some expertise somewhere. But when there is a deposit

439
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:31,040
of faith in a man, he is compelled to make progress. See I cannot be hid.

440
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:40,760
Did you hear what I told you? I cannot be hid. My life cannot be stagnated. No, my

441
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:48,760
progress cannot be impeded. Faith is my force. Ha ya na masha maya. See Jesus says

442
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:56,520
if you have faith, as little as a mustard seed, you will see to this

443
00:38:56,520 --> 00:39:04,640
mountain. It means that faith is mounting moving. See God knows that we

444
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:11,440
are going to have obstacles. Ha ya. Can I talk to you a bit? God knows we are

445
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:17,040
going to have obstacles. God knows that some of us, where we are going to be

446
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:23,560
born from will be obstacles. Just by where you were born alone is enough an

447
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:31,160
obstacle to stop you from progressing. God knows that as we grow, some friends,

448
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:41,960
some experiences in our lives are enough to set us. Hallelujah.

449
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:54,160
Think about a young girl at the age of four, getting raped by her uncle. Not just

450
00:39:54,160 --> 00:40:09,280
one time, multiple times. Think about it. It would take something more for this girl to grow up and

451
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:18,160
become normal. People have gone through awkward situations. Very awkward. The

452
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:39,200
things you complain about. Your name is Jarrah. Say I can be whatever God wants me to be. Now let's say I will be. Like you mean, say I will be all that God wants

453
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:59,240
me to be. Come on say it again. Say I will be. Like you mean, say I will be all that God wants me to be. Like you mean, say in the name of Jesus, I have what it takes to be all that God wants me to be.

454
00:40:59,240 --> 00:41:07,280
Hallelujah. Sometimes you look at where you come from and you you know boy I

455
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:16,320
can't be what God wants me to be. That is like an obstacle. Right before you, you

456
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:22,240
want to achieve this thing, you want to see this thing, but there are a lot of

457
00:41:22,240 --> 00:41:37,240
obstacles. My goodness. The Bible says the righteous, the just shall progress. My

458
00:41:37,240 --> 00:41:46,760
God. So it means that the recipe for my progress, the catalyst for my progress,

459
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:54,200
it's not with God, it's with me. My faith. Are you understanding that? That's why you

460
00:41:54,200 --> 00:42:03,920
can shout, I will be so big. And somebody's going to ask you, why are you God?

461
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:13,280
Then you say, listen, I've got what makes men big, regardless of obstacles. He never

462
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:17,480
said the mountains will not come, the mountains will be there. But he's giving

463
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:25,800
me faith. Listen, faith does not respect the rules, the natural laws. Because where

464
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:38,800
there is no way, faith is the power to pass through. The Bible says by faith, they

465
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:46,880
subdue kingdoms. Do you understand? This is a powerful force. He says by faith, my goodness.

466
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:54,680
All you leaders and pastors, you're here with me. This same faith, we are conquering

467
00:42:54,680 --> 00:43:05,200
kingdoms for Jesus. Yeah. So it's like saying, you pick, you pick one somebody

468
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:11,360
and you throw the person in the wilderness. You don't give the person money,

469
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:16,200
you don't give the person anything. So you know what? Take faith. Faith is enough.

470
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:24,280
So never say you can't. This year, never say you can't. If your pastor tells you,

471
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:28,960
we are going to run a crusade at Independence Square, maybe your church is

472
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:33,960
just 20 people. Don't say we can't. There's something, there's something in you,

473
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:40,880
there's something in you. Hallelujah. There's something in you. I'm telling all

474
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:48,360
of us, there's something in us. We progress by it. We get it done by faith.

475
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:58,800
Are you understanding that? We get it done by faith. So whenever you feel like,

476
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:08,600
boy I can't. It's an anomaly. It's something is wrong because God has said

477
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:15,920
the righteous shall progress by his faith. Not like he's going to progress by the

478
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:23,200
number of people around him. He's going to progress by his faith. Let me, for the

479
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:29,200
sake of time, let me just chip this in. One of the most powerful definitions of

480
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:39,080
faith is godly persuasions from God. Deposited or bestowed upon a man. What is

481
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:52,520
faith? The persuasions of God that he be are. That cracked my mind. I progress.

482
00:44:52,520 --> 00:45:05,600
Come on, I said I progress. Some of you are not saying. I said I progress by faith.

483
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaking tongues for one second. Come on. Come on, speaking tongues. Speaking

484
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:17,400
tongues like you mean. All that you have heard. Come on, speaking tongues right now.

485
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:23,160
Come on, gather it, gather it, gather it in the language of the spirit.

486
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:28,360
Colasta, colasta, colasta, colasta.

487
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:35,440
Oh shadi, shadi, shadi.

488
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:41,400
Wodabai.

489
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:44,400
Come on.

490
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:51,560
Pastors, you're here with me. This year we are progressing by faith. In every set

491
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:58,880
of ministry we are progressing by faith. In the name of Jesus, no obstacle, no

492
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:04,760
mountain will survive. We don't come with our natural strength. We come with

493
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:17,280
the persuasions of the divine. Now lift up your right hand. Say I can do all

494
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:27,240
things. Come on, say I can do all things. I can do all things through Christ who

495
00:46:27,240 --> 00:46:33,680
strengthens me. One more time, I can do all things. I can do all things. One more

496
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:42,560
time, say I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Sit down.

497
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:52,480
Glory to God. It also means to be alive.

498
00:46:52,480 --> 00:47:05,800
The just shall be alive by his faith. It means, the word alive there means to be

499
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:17,200
filled with all the energies necessary for living. Now I think about somebody

500
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:21,680
who begins to progress in a particular family and then a witch or somebody

501
00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:25,400
starts someone say no no no no no I've got to cut this person short his life

502
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:35,160
short and then they kill the person. Not for the man of faith. No no no no. You

503
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:43,440
cannot spread powder, feathers, red cloth, mirror or whatever around my door and have

504
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:56,520
me die. Now people are really going through things man. You cannot put me in

505
00:47:56,520 --> 00:48:09,360
a pot. It's impossible. I say it's impossible. No no it's not possible.

506
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:21,880
You can't. You see, incantations, enchantments, machinations, they don't work on me.

507
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:34,320
Oh glory to God. They don't work on me. Like I'm here then the demon will wake me to the

508
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:43,120
point that I don't I don't want to what I don't want to preach. There's no demon

509
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:53,320
that is born like that. I have all the energies that is required for life. So as

510
00:48:53,320 --> 00:49:01,920
long as my faith is active in the Lord, man I am in short of nothing. See this

511
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:07,560
here there are some things don't let it come out of your mouth. I don't know why

512
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:11,040
anytime I pick the Bible to read something comes on me and I begin to

513
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:22,320
sleep. Ha. Look at someone say ha. Do your face like I say ha. In surprise, in shock say ha.

514
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:34,760
A man of faith. You pick the Bible and something came upon you. The only thing

515
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:38,240
that is mandated to come upon us in the New Testament says and it's a come to

516
00:49:38,240 --> 00:49:46,400
pass I will pour my spirit upon. I've got the Holy Ghost upon me. I can't have any

517
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:53,120
other appointment. Hallelujah. There's some things don't let it come out of

518
00:49:53,120 --> 00:50:05,920
your mouth. Glory to God. So I don't know when I started to go to church then by

519
00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:12,600
the time I realized I didn't want to go again. Then you say pastor please pray

520
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:21,840
for me. Never pray that prayer for any of your people. When they come to tell

521
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:24,840
tell you that you say you need to be slapped there's something wrong

522
00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:30,600
upstairs. You have not been mopping upstairs for a long time. Shine your

523
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:35,840
brain. You are a child of God. See there are some things it's an embarrassment

524
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:45,080
for a child of God to see. It's shameful. Imagine apostle Paul saying

525
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:57,280
that I wanted to go to Macedonia and I don't. No. I understand that. Yeah. Now

526
00:50:57,280 --> 00:50:59,720
those of you who know Bible runner you are thinking about I wanted to come to

527
00:50:59,720 --> 00:51:04,680
you but the devil the Satan hindered me. When Paul said Satan hindered me he was

528
00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:08,960
talking about persecutions that got to him. They told him that the wicked

529
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:15,600
men are lying in wait to kill you. That was that. And so the Lord directed

530
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:22,800
him elsewhere. But Paul gets up in the morning. He says I don't feel like

531
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:29,640
preaching again. See there is a mindset when you get there are some suggestions

532
00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:38,040
the devil will not bring to you. He will not bring to you. No think about it like as

533
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:46,680
we are here then we are going to see maybe Rabbi say that I will stop church.

534
00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:52,960
That is the day I will know the devil is at work. I won't cast the devil out. I

535
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:59,520
will slap him. And the devil will get out from the ear. There is a way you make up your

536
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:03,920
mind. Some suggestions will not come to you. For example getting up to church and

537
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:08,880
thinking whether you go to church or you don't go to church. You are sick. No I don't

538
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:17,800
mean that in in a funny way. There's something wrong. Yes very important. So

539
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:23,120
there are things that you don't say. It's a disgrace for the child of God to say

540
00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:29,240
so. I'm not trying to make it. I'm not trying to. No that is what it is.

541
00:52:29,240 --> 00:52:33,240
I don't feel like reading my Bible. It's a disgraceful thing. Today I don't feel like praying.

542
00:52:33,240 --> 00:52:38,240
When my thing comes when it happens like that I don't want to pray.

543
00:52:38,240 --> 00:52:48,240
Your team. What team? Ask somebody what team? Now 2nd Corinthians chapter 5 and 7

544
00:52:48,240 --> 00:52:55,240
quickly. I've done like 20% of what I want to share with you. But I'm not going to

545
00:52:55,240 --> 00:53:00,240
do that. I've done like 20% of what I want to share with you. But I mean today is the

546
00:53:00,240 --> 00:53:05,240
first Sunday of the year. What time are you thinking we are going to close? Let me

547
00:53:05,240 --> 00:53:17,240
hear from you. What time did you start church? You want us to be in church for

548
00:53:17,240 --> 00:53:25,240
the first Sunday of the year? Whoever said no God bless you. May the Lord increase you

549
00:53:25,240 --> 00:53:36,240
this year. Abundantly. If you agree with them receive it. Some people are so quiet.

550
00:53:36,240 --> 00:53:45,240
Alright all of you read together. 1, 2, go. 5, 7, 2nd Corinthians.

551
00:53:45,240 --> 00:54:01,240
One more time. One more time. Now don't just read it. Meditate it. 1, 2, go.

552
00:54:01,240 --> 00:54:07,240
Close your eyes and say it. 1, 2, go.

553
00:54:07,240 --> 00:54:22,240
For we walk by faith and not by sight. Now the word walk is the word paripatio.

554
00:54:22,240 --> 00:54:26,240
Paripatio.

555
00:54:26,240 --> 00:54:50,240
It means to make due use of opportunities. Paripatio means to make due use of opportunities.

556
00:54:50,240 --> 00:55:02,240
It talks about progress by taking hold of opportunities. It talks about advancement

557
00:55:02,240 --> 00:55:10,240
born out of taking hold of opportunity. Making due use of opportunities. So let's take

558
00:55:10,240 --> 00:55:21,240
what are some of the opportunities people get these days?

559
00:55:21,240 --> 00:55:27,240
What are some of the people called opportunities?

560
00:55:27,240 --> 00:55:38,240
Traveling abroad. Yeah. Alright. Alright so Aha so Sylvia has gotten admission to

561
00:55:38,240 --> 00:55:47,240
Kentampu. Kentampu whatever. College of Health. So she's going to study what?

562
00:55:47,240 --> 00:55:55,240
Ah it's not science. Radiological technology. Yes. The people do x-ray and they interpret

563
00:55:55,240 --> 00:56:05,240
x-ray they go into your bones and yes. So let's say now listen. So this girl right

564
00:56:05,240 --> 00:56:12,240
now in her life no matter how big she is growing whether she likes it or not she's

565
00:56:12,240 --> 00:56:24,240
an SHS graduate. Then she has gotten admission so there's an opportunity for her to

566
00:56:24,240 --> 00:56:36,240
advance her study. Are we together? Now Paripatio is the ability to walk into that opportunity

567
00:56:36,240 --> 00:56:42,240
and then advance in that opportunity. Are you understanding that? Yes. Sit down.

568
00:56:42,240 --> 00:56:54,240
So they just shall seize opportunity and then advance in that opportunity. So Paul

569
00:56:54,240 --> 00:57:06,240
says we walk by faith. Now what it means is that the way we realize opportunities

570
00:57:06,240 --> 00:57:19,240
and we advance in them is not when there is opportunity. Oh man. Did you see that?

571
00:57:19,240 --> 00:57:30,240
Paul is saying that by faith we see opportunities or by faith we create opportunities and we

572
00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:43,240
advance in them. So it is for we walk by faith. We make due use of the opportunities giving

573
00:57:43,240 --> 00:57:55,240
us in the Lord by faith. And not by what we see. Because by what we see there are no

574
00:57:55,240 --> 00:58:05,240
opportunities. By what we see it looks hard. By what we see it looks impossible. By what

575
00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:15,240
we see it looks unbearable. By what we see it looks draining. So if we use our eyes,

576
00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:22,240
if we really want to advance and we are going to use our eyes, our optical eyes it's not

577
00:58:22,240 --> 00:58:32,240
going to work. I don't know who I'm talking to. So we are going to see a dry land and

578
00:58:32,240 --> 00:58:41,240
we are still going to see city in the dry land. Are you here with me everybody? That

579
00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:48,240
same meeting or self meeting or whatever the Lord told you to do. That you constantly,

580
00:58:48,240 --> 00:58:55,240
instead of four people you constantly have one zero one zero. The faith, that's what

581
00:58:55,240 --> 00:59:01,240
Paul is saying. Faith is your ability to see in that one person that is coming consistently.

582
00:59:01,240 --> 00:59:09,240
See nations in that one. Are you understanding that? Yes sir. That small group that pastor

583
00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:14,240
has handed over to you and the people are coming like they will come, they will not

584
00:59:14,240 --> 00:59:18,240
come, they will not come, they will not come, they will not come. God says there is a conviction

585
00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:25,240
you must have. Hallelujah. Because if you are going to use your eyes to look at them

586
00:59:25,240 --> 00:59:33,240
you will be disappointed. You will be disappointed because sometimes those that you really trust

587
00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:39,240
they stare your anointing, they will be absent. Then you go and meet those that when you begin

588
00:59:39,240 --> 00:59:47,240
to drink all your anointing yet you must have an eye beyond what you see. Are you understanding

589
00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:54,240
that? Beyond what you see. The pastoral work is some way, some way. It's only this work

590
00:59:54,240 --> 01:00:03,240
that we don't convict people to praise. Even when they are guilty. Yeah. Now if you meet

591
01:00:03,240 --> 01:00:10,240
a pastor who is condemning people you are going to hell, you are about to die and all

592
01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:18,240
of that. So the person has gone to sin, has gone to fool. The pastor must be able to have

593
01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:25,240
a composure to see God's agenda, God's mandate and God's calling in that person and speak

594
01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:36,240
to that. See normally when people mess up and I call them the first thing I do is that

595
01:00:36,240 --> 01:00:44,240
I reiterate the prophecies God has given me. I tell them that. I don't begin by saying

596
01:00:44,240 --> 01:00:52,240
what did you do? I now begin to, I will speak to the God in you, the God factor in you.

597
01:00:52,240 --> 01:01:00,240
They will come and address the, the, the peripheral matters. Because that's what Paul will do.

598
01:01:00,240 --> 01:01:06,240
Paul begins to say don't you know that you are the temple of the Holy Ghost? That is

599
01:01:06,240 --> 01:01:14,240
faith. Don't you know that there is a healing anointing on your life? Don't you know that

600
01:01:14,240 --> 01:01:20,240
you've got the spirit of prophecy? Don't you know that the power of God is at resident

601
01:01:20,240 --> 01:01:25,240
in you? And most often than not as you begin to talk the person will begin to cry. Then

602
01:01:25,240 --> 01:01:34,240
you begin to. You understand what I'm talking about? Yes. So Paul says we walk by faith

603
01:01:34,240 --> 01:01:45,240
and not by sight. You can't be a Christian by walking by sight. For example, we are going

604
01:01:45,240 --> 01:01:52,240
for Amor Camp. The first thing that comes into your mind, I don't have money. The first

605
01:01:52,240 --> 01:02:01,240
thing that came into your mind, I don't have money. Listen, by the time we are, February

606
01:02:01,240 --> 01:02:08,240
2 we'll be talking about faith. After we are done with the two months, we have to see faith

607
01:02:08,240 --> 01:02:14,240
advancements. Are you understanding that? Or what, what, see what will come into your

608
01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:17,240
mind the moment you hear Amor Camp, then the first thing that comes into your mind is that

609
01:02:17,240 --> 01:02:25,240
alright I'll find a way of going and I'll not pay. Why? Because I don't have money.

610
01:02:25,240 --> 01:02:33,240
If my pastor is not going to be, he's not going to give me a free slot, I will go. So

611
01:02:33,240 --> 01:02:40,240
if I go let them, truly when you come we may not be able to suck you. But listen, you are

612
01:02:40,240 --> 01:02:50,240
not growing. You are not advancing. Hallelujah. You are not advancing. Maybe we all, oh they

613
01:02:50,240 --> 01:02:56,240
say okay we are buying this offering box. The first thing that came into your mind is

614
01:02:56,240 --> 01:03:08,240
that this is for the workers. This is for the, you know what, you're walking by sight.

615
01:03:08,240 --> 01:03:13,240
You don't believe that there's a little faith somewhere in you or small faith somewhere

616
01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:19,240
in you that you can even contribute a city to the 10,000 Ghana City offering box you

617
01:03:19,240 --> 01:03:28,240
want to buy. Hallelujah. See, you know some people when I get money, when I get money

618
01:03:28,240 --> 01:03:36,240
like the way I will give, no, it's a hat, it's not cash. Are you understand that? You begin

619
01:03:36,240 --> 01:03:45,240
to point people in the ministry, huh? Oh yeah, I will give, daddy will run away. Then you're

620
01:03:45,240 --> 01:03:51,240
giving, release the giving. I am telling you, because I don't get moved by cash rough rough

621
01:03:51,240 --> 01:04:03,240
like that. It must be huge, palatable, and sumptuous. Palatable money, that's right.

622
01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:15,240
So we walk, we advance by faith. We advance by, listen, take up challenges. Can I say

623
01:04:15,240 --> 01:04:31,240
that again? Take up challenges. And work your faith out. See listen, things that you do

624
01:04:31,240 --> 01:04:45,240
over and over and over again, you now begin to have that strength to do it easily. Easily.

625
01:04:45,240 --> 01:04:51,240
So it may be that 10 cities that came into your hand that you say, Lord, from this year,

626
01:04:51,240 --> 01:04:58,240
any amount of money that comes into my hand, however, whichever way, I will give some to

627
01:04:58,240 --> 01:05:02,240
support the work of God. One thing this year we are going to do in all the churches, there

628
01:05:02,240 --> 01:05:07,240
will be a special offering taken for the World for Jesus campaign. Every church will do it.

629
01:05:07,240 --> 01:05:14,240
Every church. Now you say, Lord, this is, I am sponsoring, I am partnering with you in

630
01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:19,240
everything that you are doing in this ministry. We are not talking about large money. Even

631
01:05:19,240 --> 01:05:26,240
if it is 50 persuades that you can be consistent, be. You know what you're doing? You are harnessing

632
01:05:26,240 --> 01:05:37,240
a spirit. You are, you are harnessing a spirit. Listen, for example, if you want to walk in

633
01:05:37,240 --> 01:05:42,240
healing and demonstrate the power of God, you know, those kind of stuff. It's not like

634
01:05:42,240 --> 01:05:47,240
you are just dead, then you begin to throw your hands and people are falling. No. I've

635
01:05:47,240 --> 01:05:51,240
prayed for people, I've prayed for people and they never get healed. In fact, last year

636
01:05:51,240 --> 01:05:58,240
I got some. Until last year I was dead and a brother who was healed called me that a

637
01:05:58,240 --> 01:06:03,240
baby has died. One year and a half, so we should pray. We pray that baby didn't rise.

638
01:06:03,240 --> 01:06:12,240
The baby is buried. I'm still preaching to you. So why do I still have the boldness that

639
01:06:12,240 --> 01:06:23,240
the dead shall be raised? You are exercising your muscles. You understand what I'm talking

640
01:06:23,240 --> 01:06:30,240
about? The best way to walk in the in the anointing of healing is to just continue,

641
01:06:30,240 --> 01:06:35,240
continuously, you just put your hand on people and pray for them. Maybe first 20, you'll

642
01:06:35,240 --> 01:06:39,240
not see any any testimony. Don't worry. How many of I prayed for people and you never

643
01:06:39,240 --> 01:06:42,240
saw any testimony before? You prayed and you're like, God, you have you have filled me, my

644
01:06:42,240 --> 01:06:54,240
God. Why does not mean stop? It doesn't mean stop. Maybe suddenly you begin from, oh, my

645
01:06:54,240 --> 01:07:02,240
headache is gone. Then you focus on the headache. By the time you realize, see, listen, when

646
01:07:02,240 --> 01:07:10,240
you exercise your muscles, it becomes stronger. Not the same way in the spirit. No, for example,

647
01:07:10,240 --> 01:07:18,240
those who came to stand here this this dawn and you want the grace to teach. How do you

648
01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:30,240
begin? By teaching. By teaching. So it's not like you'll be there and then the Lord will

649
01:07:30,240 --> 01:07:37,240
come to you. No, no. You begin to teach. I mean, of course, you don't begin to teach

650
01:07:37,240 --> 01:07:50,240
without studying. You don't have the grace to teach. Today I'm talking about many, many.

651
01:07:50,240 --> 01:08:04,240
You displace yourself. There's there's a gift I have. I don't know the name. That if you

652
01:08:04,240 --> 01:08:13,240
have it, if God does not grace you, you will continuously never study your Bible. You know

653
01:08:13,240 --> 01:08:18,240
what? I can change this message right now and say I want to preach on anything. I just

654
01:08:18,240 --> 01:08:24,240
need one scripture. I can talk on that scripture for long. You know, I've not studied it. And

655
01:08:24,240 --> 01:08:29,240
by the time you go and study it, you go and study it, you'll find something like that.

656
01:08:29,240 --> 01:08:35,240
Hallelujah. All of these things are levels and it's grace. Because there are men of God

657
01:08:35,240 --> 01:08:42,240
who began church before my mother was born. So they cannot preach for twenty minutes.

658
01:08:42,240 --> 01:08:45,240
One person was preaching, said, today's message, you have to be very serious. Take it very

659
01:08:45,240 --> 01:08:53,240
serious. Use it. Because I suffered today. And he preached for fifteen minutes. And I'm

660
01:08:53,240 --> 01:09:00,240
like, what a message. If you want to, if you see how many of us want to preach for long,

661
01:09:00,240 --> 01:09:10,240
like one day when you want to preach for long. Lift up your hand, let me see. So begin. Don't

662
01:09:10,240 --> 01:09:19,240
talk to a soul for ten minutes. No. No. Sometimes after you save the soul, after the person

663
01:09:19,240 --> 01:09:23,240
receives Christ, then you say, OK, OK, second thing, you have to, you have to, you have

664
01:09:23,240 --> 01:09:30,240
to pray in tongues. Then you begin that one. Then you begin that one. Yes. See, when we

665
01:09:30,240 --> 01:09:35,240
were going for missions on, inside and all of that, always my soul is, there were not

666
01:09:35,240 --> 01:09:44,240
ten souls. Three. Four. I've never won ten souls in a mission field before. Sometimes

667
01:09:44,240 --> 01:09:48,240
when we go, and so I want these people today, they are expecting us to go to different,

668
01:09:48,240 --> 01:09:56,240
you know, like extent. I won't go. The people are, yeah. Yeah. Because there are some souls,

669
01:09:56,240 --> 01:10:01,240
the moment you begin to talk and their responses, it's tell you, why should I struggle to look

670
01:10:01,240 --> 01:10:09,240
for another person? You should be saved by somebody else. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know,

671
01:10:09,240 --> 01:10:13,240
sometimes like how people be like, they will come and they have about twenty-five souls.

672
01:10:13,240 --> 01:10:20,240
I'm like, what, how did you do this thing? You are likely not to have any of them follow

673
01:10:20,240 --> 01:10:33,240
you. Yeah. And you know, it was true. Some of the brothers, they will go, they will come

674
01:10:33,240 --> 01:10:41,240
with a lot of names. And one day, daddy said he had a partner came to tell him that if

675
01:10:41,240 --> 01:10:50,240
you talk to his partner, because he'll do one and he'll say, oh, my, he'll be saying,

676
01:10:50,240 --> 01:10:59,240
oh, yeah, for you. So, we're not, we're not the number. Or more message. Because I can

677
01:10:59,240 --> 01:11:11,240
do a trick. No, no, no, no. Me, when I come to you and you tell me you are busy, I won't

678
01:11:11,240 --> 01:11:15,240
force you. I don't tear my hand like that. You are the one dying. I am not the one dying.

679
01:11:15,240 --> 01:11:26,240
And there's equally another soul there dying. So, if you're unsavable today, that you, the

680
01:11:26,240 --> 01:11:33,240
life giver, you begin to beg. The person has not seen his death enough. Shall I allow the

681
01:11:33,240 --> 01:11:38,240
person to be? Don't, don't rush. And see, when you are winning souls, those who will

682
01:11:38,240 --> 01:11:44,240
be, you know, arguing with you, then you want to answer, you want to prove. Let's say, this

683
01:11:44,240 --> 01:11:53,240
year, don't do stupid labor. Are you honest? I said this year, don't do stupid labor. Don't

684
01:11:53,240 --> 01:12:04,240
do stupid labor. We are looking at efficiency. Are you understanding that? One soul, every

685
01:12:04,240 --> 01:12:11,240
day, I'm not ready for church. I'm not ready. Leave the person. Your pastors don't like

686
01:12:11,240 --> 01:12:25,240
what I'm telling you. I'm serious. See, there are some, that moment you talk to them, they

687
01:12:25,240 --> 01:12:40,240
follow you. They say they are very restless. Then go to the wrestles. No, I'm not telling

688
01:12:40,240 --> 01:12:45,240
that you go and there are people, when they are even talking to you, you know that they

689
01:12:45,240 --> 01:12:53,240
are seeking for answers. There are people who are stubborn. You meet a staunch Jehovah's

690
01:12:53,240 --> 01:13:02,240
Witness. Leave the person. See, the Bible says, if you go to a house and they don't

691
01:13:02,240 --> 01:13:10,240
accept you, shake off the dust of your feet and Jesus says, there's no time, go to the

692
01:13:10,240 --> 01:13:22,240
next house. Let your labor this year be efficient. Yeah, let it be efficient. Don't be, and this

693
01:13:22,240 --> 01:13:33,240
soul, you are on this soul for three months. No, I don't know why all your children are

694
01:13:33,240 --> 01:13:38,240
happy. What are you going through? What is your pastor making you go through that you

695
01:13:38,240 --> 01:13:47,240
are not telling me? The guy is killing you. See, when you leave them, then you pray for

696
01:13:47,240 --> 01:13:54,240
them. Yes, pray for them. Just say, God have mercy on their souls. I always tell you, there's

697
01:13:54,240 --> 01:13:59,240
some stupid things that never happened to me. When I got born again, I just got born

698
01:13:59,240 --> 01:14:06,240
again. And I followed. Some people, even after they are born again, you have to drag them

699
01:14:06,240 --> 01:14:21,240
out like goats. As if we are going to kill people in church, you know? Yeah. I've been

700
01:14:21,240 --> 01:14:41,240
with you. I've been with you. Why is it? Shallow goats this year. Say no goats this year. No

701
01:14:41,240 --> 01:14:54,240
goats. No goats. No goats. You know, when you put a rope on the neck of a sheep, you

702
01:14:54,240 --> 01:15:09,240
just do. And that's that. You know what this thing means? I'm ready. Ha ha ha ha. Nobody

703
01:15:09,240 --> 01:15:23,240
is going anywhere. Hallelujah. Say far rich in labor. Come on say far rich in labor. Far

704
01:15:23,240 --> 01:15:33,240
rich in labor. Far rich in labor. The spirit of God will be supplied. Oh. Recovered by

705
01:15:33,240 --> 01:15:41,240
the spirit of God. He's so pious. You are not doing this with your eye. No. With the

706
01:15:41,240 --> 01:15:46,240
eye of the Holy Ghost. With the eye of the Holy Ghost. With the eye of the Holy Ghost.

707
01:15:46,240 --> 01:15:51,240
With the eye of the Holy Ghost. With the eye of the Holy Ghost. With the strength of the

708
01:15:51,240 --> 01:16:00,240
Holy Ghost. Now sit down for two minutes. Let's just let me try to wrap up because you

709
01:16:00,240 --> 01:16:10,240
know, you're going to have a long night today. My God. Say my God. Whoa whoa whoa whoa. Say

710
01:16:10,240 --> 01:16:20,240
my God. Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. Ha ha. Ay ay ay ay ay. Glory to God. Far rich in

711
01:16:20,240 --> 01:16:28,240
labor. Right? Do you believe that? Do you believe I'm going to do more for the Lord

712
01:16:28,240 --> 01:16:35,240
this year? Like you're going to really do things you've never done for the Lord before.

713
01:16:35,240 --> 01:16:43,240
And do more. Do more. See one of the things you can do this year is to find the souls

714
01:16:43,240 --> 01:16:52,240
list. Make this this church will have a soul list book. Find one. And then begin to pray.

715
01:16:52,240 --> 01:17:00,240
Say, Lord, this year, I'm winning 200 souls of which I am establishing 20 in church. By

716
01:17:00,240 --> 01:17:14,240
life, by death. Yeah. Glory to God. Very important. Very important. So whatever supply that is

717
01:17:14,240 --> 01:17:23,240
available to you, I'm ready. I'm ready. You can also write it down. Lord, this year, I

718
01:17:23,240 --> 01:17:34,240
want to heal the sick. So much. At least 50 tangible testimonies. 50. You can also write

719
01:17:34,240 --> 01:17:47,240
it down. I want demons to cast out devils. My God. Shailety. I want demons to cry out.

720
01:17:47,240 --> 01:17:54,240
The Bible says, and with loud voice, they cried out. Yesterday, daddy was casting out

721
01:17:54,240 --> 01:18:04,240
devils. He said, I, I, I. Then he stopped and said, wait. One stupid thing about demons

722
01:18:04,240 --> 01:18:20,240
is that day to day they feel pains. Hallelujah. See, they inflict pains on people. As though

723
01:18:20,240 --> 01:18:27,240
they don't understand what it means to be pained. Then he came back. He said, I want

724
01:18:27,240 --> 01:18:49,240
to punish you. Hallelujah. Please, please, please, please. Throne of Corp. What is faith?

725
01:18:49,240 --> 01:19:15,240
Faith is from the Greek word Pistis. Pistis. Or Pistis. Pistis. Pistis. I can spell it in

726
01:19:15,240 --> 01:19:29,240
Greek, actually. Hallelujah. You want that one? You can't, you can't write it. Alright.

727
01:19:29,240 --> 01:19:51,240
Now, Pistis refers to God's divine persuasion. God's divine persuasion.

728
01:19:51,240 --> 01:20:09,240
So, when we're talking about faith, we are talking about God's own persuasions. Man,

729
01:20:09,240 --> 01:20:17,240
I can teach on this for twelve years. Non-stop. God's divine persuasion. See, how many of us

730
01:20:17,240 --> 01:20:23,240
believe we have faith? Now, alright, how many of us believe we need some faith? So, you

731
01:20:23,240 --> 01:20:27,240
all believe you have faith? Alright, Romans chapter twelve, verse three, the Bible says

732
01:20:27,240 --> 01:20:33,240
so. That God has dealt with every man the measure of faith. So, every Christian has

733
01:20:33,240 --> 01:20:38,240
faith. In fact, the Bible says you are saved by grace through faith. So, without faith,

734
01:20:38,240 --> 01:20:45,240
it is impossible to be saved. So, if you believe that you're saved, you don't need faith. You

735
01:20:45,240 --> 01:20:53,240
don't need faith. Say, I have faith. Say, I have faith. Now, that faith that you have,

736
01:20:53,240 --> 01:21:01,240
oh my god, can I teach a bit? Okay, okay. Maureen, I love you. I love you. All of you,

737
01:21:01,240 --> 01:21:09,240
you are not my children. Can I teach a bit? Those in the middle, no matter what I say,

738
01:21:09,240 --> 01:21:17,240
you don't mind me. Why are you like that? Why are you like that? Can I continue a bit?

739
01:21:17,240 --> 01:21:29,240
Can I continue a bit? Can you excuse us? You people leave us. So, peace this. God's divine

740
01:21:29,240 --> 01:21:44,240
persuasions. The persuasions of God. Hallelujah. Now, this means faith cannot be humanly generated.

741
01:21:44,240 --> 01:21:53,240
You can't generate faith. It ought to be God's own gift to you. Hallelujah. It's God's own

742
01:21:53,240 --> 01:21:59,240
gift to you. Now, faith is different from belief. I'm going to teach that on Wednesday.

743
01:21:59,240 --> 01:22:04,240
Hey, yeah, Wednesday we'll be here. We'll have our last service. Before we go to, I'm

744
01:22:04,240 --> 01:22:13,240
going to come. Wherever I will be in the spirit, I'll come and teach. Yes. So, I said, faith

745
01:22:13,240 --> 01:22:21,240
is different from belief. Belief is man generated. Belief is, you know, the Greek word is bestial.

746
01:22:21,240 --> 01:22:30,240
It actually talks about the persuasions of man toward God or anything. That's why people

747
01:22:30,240 --> 01:22:39,240
can believe in idols. You cannot have faith in idols. Are we together? Yes. There's no

748
01:22:39,240 --> 01:22:47,240
Muslim with faith. They believe in Allah. Are we together? They can even say they have faith,

749
01:22:47,240 --> 01:22:53,240
but I'm telling you, they don't have faith. Because faith is given by God. It's God's

750
01:22:53,240 --> 01:23:00,240
own. It's God's own persuasions. God's own cogitations and persuasions. The settlement

751
01:23:00,240 --> 01:23:09,240
and the convictions of God handed down to us in the gospel. Are you understanding that?

752
01:23:09,240 --> 01:23:18,240
That this is the best teaching on faith ever. I don't care which ones you have heard. So,

753
01:23:18,240 --> 01:23:31,240
God carries his own persuasions and give it to a man. So, what is faith? God's, uh-huh,

754
01:23:31,240 --> 01:23:45,240
come on, talk to me. What is faith? God's divine persuasions. What I mean is this. If

755
01:23:45,240 --> 01:23:54,240
we are to walk by faith, if we live by faith, it means that we live by the persuasions of

756
01:23:54,240 --> 01:24:04,240
God. Listen, we don't live, we don't live by our persuasions of God. We live by God's

757
01:24:04,240 --> 01:24:13,240
persuasions. Two different things. I'm not talking about from, from down to up. I'm

758
01:24:13,240 --> 01:24:31,240
talking about from up to down. So, let's take for example. Hi. So, this is a guy in a wheelchair.

759
01:24:31,240 --> 01:24:46,240
Now, somebody come. Who said that nobody wants to come? Sit down, sit inside. So, he has

760
01:24:46,240 --> 01:24:53,240
the innocent face like an invited pastor. An invited guest. That's, they have a mischievous

761
01:24:53,240 --> 01:25:08,240
way of smiling. Yeah. So, this is a guy who has never walked before. In act, oh my, I

762
01:25:08,240 --> 01:25:17,240
want to teach. This is, I'm, I'm now getting into the teaching. Can you give me like 30

763
01:25:17,240 --> 01:25:26,240
minutes? 30 minutes. Oh no, I could see I believe in God. Believe also in me. So, in

764
01:25:26,240 --> 01:25:35,240
act fourteen, the Bible says, Paul was preaching the gospel. And while he was preaching the

765
01:25:35,240 --> 01:25:45,240
gospel, there was a man who had never walked. There was a crippled man. So, as he kept on

766
01:25:45,240 --> 01:26:02,240
listening to Paul, the Bible says, Paul saw that the man had faith to be healed. Ah. So,

767
01:26:02,240 --> 01:26:17,240
let me tell you what happened. I say the gospel. You can't preach any other thing. As he was

768
01:26:17,240 --> 01:26:26,240
preaching the gospel, Paul was preaching the persuasions of God. It's called the gospel

769
01:26:26,240 --> 01:26:31,240
of faith. It's called the word of faith. You read Romans chapter ten, it says, which is

770
01:26:31,240 --> 01:26:37,240
the word of faith which we preach. The gospel is the word of faith. It means it is the words

771
01:26:37,240 --> 01:26:44,240
about God's persuasions. So, what was the persuasion of God that got the man healed?

772
01:26:44,240 --> 01:26:57,240
Paul heard that when Jesus Christ died, he died for everybody. And all our sins were

773
01:26:57,240 --> 01:27:09,240
placed on him. All our sicknesses were placed on him. All our depressions were placed on

774
01:27:09,240 --> 01:27:20,240
him. All our troubles were placed on him. That if a man would believe that these things

775
01:27:20,240 --> 01:27:31,240
that God did in Christ are so, the sicknesses will leave. So, in the gospel, God has a persuasion

776
01:27:31,240 --> 01:27:40,240
that let Jesus die and then I will rise him up again. When I raise him up again, I, God,

777
01:27:40,240 --> 01:27:48,240
I believe that when he rises again and then the Holy Ghost comes to the earth, by that,

778
01:27:48,240 --> 01:27:57,240
man can receive absolute healing regardless of what situations they have been. Then Paul

779
01:27:57,240 --> 01:28:04,240
said, you might have been born a cripple but God has persuasions about you in the gospel.

780
01:28:04,240 --> 01:28:11,240
So, he sent Jesus to die and God was believing. God was believing. God was believing. God,

781
01:28:11,240 --> 01:28:22,240
you see, our faith is God's belief. So, God was believing that if I do this thing, I think

782
01:28:22,240 --> 01:28:32,240
that brother who has never worked in his life, if he gets the chance of hearing what I have

783
01:28:32,240 --> 01:28:40,240
done in Christ, he would jump up because he's gonna see the reason why he should not die.

784
01:28:40,240 --> 01:28:48,240
He should not be a cripple again. Push it back. So, as Paul kept on preaching and preaching

785
01:28:48,240 --> 01:28:57,240
and preaching about the convictions of God, the guy said, no, no, no, I'm not supposed

786
01:28:57,240 --> 01:29:03,240
to be this. I might have been born this way. I'm not supposed to be this because Jesus

787
01:29:03,240 --> 01:29:09,240
paid for it. Are you here with me everybody? Come on. You here with me everybody?

788
01:29:09,240 --> 01:29:20,240
Yes. So, the man tapped into the convictions of God. Think about it. For God so loved the

789
01:29:20,240 --> 01:29:27,240
world that he gives only because his hand. That who so ever believes in him shall not

790
01:29:27,240 --> 01:29:37,240
perish but have everlasting life. This was God's persuasion that drove him to give his

791
01:29:37,240 --> 01:29:43,240
son to be killed because he believed that if I give my son to be killed, men can have

792
01:29:43,240 --> 01:29:55,240
eternal life. And the Bible says that the chastisement of our peace was laid upon him.

793
01:29:55,240 --> 01:30:05,240
See, that is why faith comes only through by hearing and hearing by the word of God.

794
01:30:05,240 --> 01:30:12,240
In fact, in the magic, in the Greek, it says by hearing and hearing the words of Christ,

795
01:30:12,240 --> 01:30:21,240
which is the gospel. So, faith is only bestowed when the gospel comes to a man because the

796
01:30:21,240 --> 01:30:29,240
faith of God is buried in the gospel. So, as the gospel is preached, then God's faith

797
01:30:29,240 --> 01:30:35,240
comes to the hearer. When the hearer decides I'm going to believe this thing, then faith

798
01:30:35,240 --> 01:30:41,240
comes to the hearer. And that is the conviction and persuasions of God. Let me, let me, let

799
01:30:41,240 --> 01:30:50,240
me go higher. You are called as a pastor. You've never pasted before. You don't know

800
01:30:50,240 --> 01:30:56,240
how it tastes like. You don't even know how it is like. I said this year, you would do

801
01:30:56,240 --> 01:31:01,240
things. You would do things. I said this year, you would do things. You will do things in

802
01:31:01,240 --> 01:31:11,240
the name of Jesus. Higher. So, this lady here is called to pastor. She's got no experience.

803
01:31:11,240 --> 01:31:22,240
But you know, the first thing is, does God, does he have a persuasion that this girl who

804
01:31:22,240 --> 01:31:30,240
has not pasted can pastor successfully? No, does God has a persuasion, does he have a

805
01:31:30,240 --> 01:31:39,240
persuasion like that? If God has a persuasion, then all that this girl has to do is to just

806
01:31:39,240 --> 01:31:49,240
tap into the persuasions of God. I may not look like it. I might have not even tasted

807
01:31:49,240 --> 01:31:57,240
it before. I don't even know how it looks like. But there is a God somewhere in me that

808
01:31:57,240 --> 01:32:11,240
believes I can do it. Therefore, I do it. Come on. Hallelujah. Do you get it? That is

809
01:32:11,240 --> 01:32:21,240
faith. Come on. That is faith. That is faith. Oh, and it's filled with, the word of God

810
01:32:21,240 --> 01:32:28,240
is filled with a lot of examples. Faith is only generated by the word. You can't hear

811
01:32:28,240 --> 01:32:45,240
the words in her face because faith is God's persuasion to us. Are you here with me? When

812
01:32:45,240 --> 01:32:56,240
the Hebrew boys saw that a decree had gone forth for all magicians to be killed and

813
01:32:56,240 --> 01:33:03,240
interpretations of dreams and stuff like that, Daniel asked, why is the king's decree

814
01:33:03,240 --> 01:33:12,240
so hasty? Then the guy said, no, no, no, no, take me to the king. Take me to the king.

815
01:33:12,240 --> 01:33:18,240
Take me to the king and tell him that he should give me some few days. I will not only come

816
01:33:18,240 --> 01:33:24,240
with the interpretation, I will come with the dream. That was Godly. So the guy said,

817
01:33:24,240 --> 01:33:31,240
hey, you know what? God has a persuasion. There is a Godly conviction. God believes

818
01:33:31,240 --> 01:33:41,240
that I can make a man know and understand. So I am going to God and introduce myself

819
01:33:41,240 --> 01:33:48,240
to God that here I am. Let it come. This is faith, brothers and sisters. It is

820
01:33:48,240 --> 01:33:57,240
practically what you believe that God is convinced of. So what is the and the

821
01:33:57,240 --> 01:34:07,240
convictions of God are buried in his words, especially when you hear God prophesying.

822
01:34:07,240 --> 01:34:13,240
Let's take for example, I'm a pastor. I'm doing what I have to do. I'm praying, I'm

823
01:34:13,240 --> 01:34:17,240
fasting, I'm reading, I'm reading. Yes, church is not growing. Church is not taking

824
01:34:17,240 --> 01:34:30,240
form. What is God's conviction? Let me tell you one. He said a little one shall

825
01:34:30,240 --> 01:34:40,240
become a thousand and a small one shall become a great nation. So oh, God has a

826
01:34:40,240 --> 01:34:45,240
conviction. God has, God has a God is persuaded about the fact that I am

827
01:34:45,240 --> 01:34:48,240
becoming.

828
01:34:49,240 --> 01:34:53,240
I am. Hey.

829
01:34:58,240 --> 01:35:06,240
Paul says therefore we with the same spirit of faith. We believe. Therefore we

830
01:35:06,240 --> 01:35:16,240
speak with Maya toast. We might have not seen it, but we know what God thinks

831
01:35:16,240 --> 01:35:24,240
about the matter. We know the mind of God about the matter. We believe and

832
01:35:24,240 --> 01:35:28,240
therefore we speak.

833
01:35:28,240 --> 01:35:40,240
Huh? If anybody believes that my life can amount to nothing or is going to amount

834
01:35:40,240 --> 01:35:46,240
to nothing, it's not a fighting matter. God says my thoughts are higher than your

835
01:35:46,240 --> 01:35:53,240
thoughts. There are higher thoughts. Hallelujah. If my mother thinks I will

836
01:35:53,240 --> 01:36:03,240
amount to nothing, the thoughts of God. What is the thought of God say? Jesus

837
01:36:03,240 --> 01:36:09,240
says, I believe you are the light of the world. Jesus says, I believe you are a

838
01:36:09,240 --> 01:36:16,240
city that is set upon a hill. That is the Jesus has a believe and that is what I

839
01:36:16,240 --> 01:36:23,240
believe. I am a that is what I believe.

840
01:36:24,240 --> 01:36:35,240
So, this sickness, can it be cured? This problem, can it be dealt with?

841
01:36:35,240 --> 01:36:44,240
What is God thinking about? What is the thought of God? What is the

842
01:36:44,240 --> 01:36:50,240
persuasion of God? Am I talking to somebody? What is the persuasion of God?

843
01:36:50,240 --> 01:36:58,240
He believes I can heal the sick. And that is faith. He believes I can

844
01:36:58,240 --> 01:37:09,240
heal the sick. He believes I can raise the dead. See, Jesus picks these

845
01:37:09,240 --> 01:37:19,240
teenagers. Then he says go. Heal the sick. Raise the dead. Cleanse the lepers.

846
01:37:19,240 --> 01:37:26,240
Let the lame walk. Let the blind see.

847
01:37:30,240 --> 01:37:36,240
Peter, the Bible say he saw a certain man. And the man I think for eight years or so

848
01:37:36,240 --> 01:37:41,240
had been bound to his bed and mattress. He was not able to walk. The moment

849
01:37:41,240 --> 01:37:47,240
Peter got there, he says, brother, the Lord Jesus makes you whole. He makes you

850
01:37:47,240 --> 01:37:51,240
whole. He makes you whole. You know why we are going to stand boldly before sick

851
01:37:51,240 --> 01:37:57,240
people and declare? Because we know the mind of God towards the situation. God

852
01:37:57,240 --> 01:38:04,240
that I am a God that's not one man to be bound on beds and mattresses. God that's

853
01:38:04,240 --> 01:38:11,240
not one man to be inhabited by demons. God that's not one man to be broken and

854
01:38:11,240 --> 01:38:17,240
sick, sated and destroyed and in chains. That is faith.

855
01:38:23,240 --> 01:38:32,240
So Jesus says, he tells the disciples, he says have the faith of God. Have the

856
01:38:32,240 --> 01:38:39,240
persuasions of God. It means be persuaded like God. Be persuaded as God is

857
01:38:39,240 --> 01:38:47,240
persuaded. I am a Shander by her. Ah Jesus sold us the secret. Why he will

858
01:38:47,240 --> 01:38:53,240
step in a city and heal the whole city? Because he knew what God was thinking.

859
01:38:53,240 --> 01:39:02,240
He knew the persuasions of God about sick people.

860
01:39:15,240 --> 01:39:18,240
Hey.

861
01:39:18,240 --> 01:39:21,240
Hey.

862
01:39:22,240 --> 01:39:26,240
What is the persuasion of God?

863
01:39:27,240 --> 01:39:35,240
Shout it, I'm full of faith. Like you mean to say, I am full of faith. One more

864
01:39:35,240 --> 01:39:43,240
time, I'm full of faith. I want to say like you say, I am full of faith. Come on

865
01:39:43,240 --> 01:39:53,240
now. I am full of godly persuasions. Say I am full of the persuasions of God. I

866
01:39:53,240 --> 01:39:58,240
am full of the persuasions of God.

867
01:40:00,240 --> 01:40:05,240
God asks the question, can a nation be born in one day?

868
01:40:05,240 --> 01:40:18,240
The answer to man is no. Then he says, I can do it. I, if I had I would have told

869
01:40:18,240 --> 01:40:27,240
you faith is the mind of Christ. He says, I can do it. I can do it. And watch me do

870
01:40:27,240 --> 01:40:37,240
it. Watch me do it. I need I need a lot of hours to make this thing sink but but

871
01:40:37,240 --> 01:40:45,240
it's fine. What what can give God that boldness and audacity to look at a man

872
01:40:45,240 --> 01:40:53,240
who is dead and still come and give me a word that you will give birth in the

873
01:40:53,240 --> 01:41:01,240
mind of God. In the persuasions of God. It is not possible to be barring.

874
01:41:03,240 --> 01:41:08,240
Regardless of what you see in the in the mind of God, barrenness is

875
01:41:08,240 --> 01:41:13,240
impossibility. There's no barrenness before him. He does not believe in

876
01:41:13,240 --> 01:41:30,240
God. No. No. No. That's his mind. I said that is his mind. That is his mind.

877
01:41:32,240 --> 01:41:39,240
Listen. We are walking by godly persuasions. I say we are walking by godly

878
01:41:39,240 --> 01:41:45,240
persuasions. Are you here with me? Say we are walking by godly persuasions. Hey.

879
01:41:45,240 --> 01:41:54,240
Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. So the next time you are laying hands on the

880
01:41:54,240 --> 01:42:02,240
sick, don't look at what is coming out of you. No. Just know what God believes

881
01:42:02,240 --> 01:42:11,240
in you. That's all. That is your faith. We walk by what God believes about

882
01:42:11,240 --> 01:42:14,240
life.

883
01:42:15,240 --> 01:42:18,240
Maya.

884
01:42:19,240 --> 01:42:25,240
See, God believes that promotion does not come from the east or the west.

885
01:42:25,240 --> 01:42:34,240
God believes that he can pick up the poor. The beggar from the downhill and

886
01:42:34,240 --> 01:42:42,240
set him among princes. God believes that he is not limited by poverty. God, that

887
01:42:42,240 --> 01:42:47,240
is God's belief. So if I am a pastor and I have the conviction, I have the

888
01:42:47,240 --> 01:42:55,240
conviction, I have the belief of God, I also know that I can carry any church

889
01:42:55,240 --> 01:43:01,240
member to any level that God wants him to be. And nothing will stop it.

890
01:43:01,240 --> 01:43:15,240
No. Are you understandin that? Yes, sir. So if I came to God broke weak, will God

891
01:43:15,240 --> 01:43:22,240
complain? No. God knows that he has what it takes. God knows he has what it

892
01:43:22,240 --> 01:43:27,240
takes and that is what he has carried into us. So Jesus says something, Jesus

893
01:43:27,240 --> 01:43:32,240
says something, this is what I believe. I am the light of the world. He who

894
01:43:32,240 --> 01:43:38,240
follows me shall never walk in darkness. The belief of Jesus is that I will never

895
01:43:38,240 --> 01:43:47,240
walk in darkness. So if I'm going to walk by faith, I'm a command. Darkness

896
01:43:47,240 --> 01:43:52,240
has no power over me. It's as simple as that.

897
01:43:52,240 --> 01:44:06,240
Hey, are you understandin that? No. Think about this. If your father and your

898
01:44:06,240 --> 01:44:13,240
mother went to do wangu wangu and you got born and then you have sickle cell

899
01:44:13,240 --> 01:44:19,240
anemia, in the faith of doctors is something that is incurable. But what is

900
01:44:19,240 --> 01:44:27,240
the mind of God? No, what is the mind of God? There's nothing we can't do.

901
01:44:27,240 --> 01:44:35,240
Do you understand? There's nothing we cannot do. I want to say this again, there's

902
01:44:35,240 --> 01:44:43,240
nothing we cannot do. Pastors listen to me. This year, you will carry the

903
01:44:43,240 --> 01:44:51,240
church of God as far as your faith. I say in the name of this year, you will

904
01:44:51,240 --> 01:44:57,240
carry the church of God as far as your faith, as far as your faith, as far as

905
01:44:57,240 --> 01:45:04,240
your faith, as far as your faith. How much can you believe? How much, how much,

906
01:45:04,240 --> 01:45:13,240
how much, how much, how much.

907
01:45:23,240 --> 01:45:31,240
Hey, see, this year when you are confronted with anything, the first thing

908
01:45:31,240 --> 01:45:35,240
you have to do is that what is the mind of God concerning this? Don't rush,

909
01:45:35,240 --> 01:45:41,240
don't cry, don't, first of all, what is the mind of God concerning this? Then

910
01:45:41,240 --> 01:45:45,240
you begin to search through the scriptures. You search through the

911
01:45:45,240 --> 01:45:50,240
scriptures. You search through the scriptures. Then you begin to say, alright,

912
01:45:50,240 --> 01:45:57,240
I know the mind of God now. Your situation, you are not staying. You are

913
01:45:57,240 --> 01:46:03,240
not staying. Hey, shout it, I have the spirit of faith. I have the spirit of

914
01:46:03,240 --> 01:46:10,240
faith. I have the spirit of faith. I have the spirit of faith. I have the spirit of

915
01:46:10,240 --> 01:46:20,240
faith. I have the spirit of faith. Don't rush. When assignment is given you, what

916
01:46:20,240 --> 01:46:26,240
is the mind of God concerning this? In the mind of God, can I do this? You find

917
01:46:26,240 --> 01:46:31,240
it. Because if God says you can't do it, then it means that God, you don't have

918
01:46:31,240 --> 01:46:35,240
any faith in that matter. And the Bible says anything done outside faith is

919
01:46:35,240 --> 01:46:40,240
sin. Think about it. If you are a Christian, if you do anything outside

920
01:46:40,240 --> 01:46:47,240
God's persuasion is sin. God's persuasion is that I cannot, I cannot be

921
01:46:47,240 --> 01:46:54,240
locked up in chains. I can't be locked up in chains. Chains of addictions, chains

922
01:46:54,240 --> 01:46:59,240
of whatever, I cannot be locked up. Because in the mind of God, he has freed

923
01:46:59,240 --> 01:47:07,240
me. He has freed me. So God believes that I am free.

924
01:47:10,240 --> 01:47:16,240
Once I had a pastor, he says God does not heal anybody. You know, this guy. But now I

925
01:47:16,240 --> 01:47:22,240
understand. Because in the mind of God, we are all well. We are well. So the

926
01:47:22,240 --> 01:47:28,240
problem is simple. Just see how he believes and just walk it. That is why

927
01:47:28,240 --> 01:47:35,240
when Paul told the man, rise up on your feet, the Bible says he leaped. He says,

928
01:47:35,240 --> 01:47:43,240
I am not just rising, I will leap. So for all these years, all this sickness

929
01:47:43,240 --> 01:47:55,240
was fake. It was fake. Because the mind of God is the real thing. See, it's

930
01:47:55,240 --> 01:47:59,240
sometimes all the things you are crying about, they don't matter. Because if you

931
01:47:59,240 --> 01:48:05,240
know what God's mind is, listen, my life will never end up in a ditch. That is

932
01:48:05,240 --> 01:48:14,240
God's mind. It's not possible. It's not possible that I will have a terminal

933
01:48:14,240 --> 01:48:20,240
sickness in my body. In the mind of God, I should not be carrying diabetes. In the

934
01:48:20,240 --> 01:48:26,240
mind of God, I should not be carrying hypertension. In the mind of God, I should

935
01:48:26,240 --> 01:48:33,240
not be, whatever, I should not be carrying. We with the same faith, with the

936
01:48:33,240 --> 01:48:42,240
same spirit of faith, we declare as God is saying. We declare as God is saying. If

937
01:48:42,240 --> 01:48:47,240
somebody says you have, you have disappointed the whole family, you have

938
01:48:47,240 --> 01:48:56,240
disappointed me, you don't cry. In the mind of God, am I a disappointment? I'm

939
01:48:56,240 --> 01:49:05,240
going to lead you to pray for 15 minutes, then we close. Are you understanding? You

940
01:49:05,240 --> 01:49:11,240
are going to say I walk in godly persuasions. This year, the only thing

941
01:49:11,240 --> 01:49:16,240
that matters is what God thinks. The only thing that matters is what God

942
01:49:16,240 --> 01:49:21,240
believes. If God does not believe it, it's not my life. If God does not believe it,

943
01:49:21,240 --> 01:49:25,240
I don't even think about it. If God does not believe it, I don't worry my head

944
01:49:25,240 --> 01:49:31,240
about it. See, it was from this same thing that the evangelist will tell

945
01:49:31,240 --> 01:49:36,240
somebody after prayer, they say whatever you could not do, do it. Because in the

946
01:49:36,240 --> 01:49:40,240
mind of God, you are doing it. Are you understanding that? In the mind of God,

947
01:49:40,240 --> 01:49:45,240
you are doing it. In the mind of God, you are doing it. I want you to take the

948
01:49:45,240 --> 01:49:51,240
teachings of your pastors very seriously this year. Because they will make you. I

949
01:49:51,240 --> 01:49:56,240
said they will make you. They will make you.

950
01:50:02,240 --> 01:50:09,240
Paul said something. Paul called himself the wise master builder. The wise

951
01:50:09,240 --> 01:50:16,240
master builder. That's what Paul believed that God believed about him. Yeah.

952
01:50:16,240 --> 01:50:22,240
Paul says when he pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb to

953
01:50:22,240 --> 01:50:29,240
reveal his son in me, I conferred not again with flesh and blood. The same Paul

954
01:50:29,240 --> 01:50:39,240
that have killed many for faith. Now came to, ah, he came to believe the same

955
01:50:39,240 --> 01:50:45,240
thing I killed people for. I'm going to save people. That is God's mind. He says

956
01:50:45,240 --> 01:50:51,240
when he pleased God. So when he got to know that ah, actually this is God's mind

957
01:50:51,240 --> 01:50:56,240
about me. He says no, I conferred not again with flesh and blood. Sometimes the

958
01:50:56,240 --> 01:51:00,240
reason why we don't take actions, the reason why what God tells you delays and

959
01:51:00,240 --> 01:51:04,240
all of that is that you are not thinking like God is thinking. You are not

960
01:51:04,240 --> 01:51:08,240
thinking in his persuasion. Because God is saying my persuasion is that you are

961
01:51:08,240 --> 01:51:13,240
walking here. Then you are also walking in the opposite direction. But this year

962
01:51:13,240 --> 01:51:18,240
shall not be so. Come on, I say this year shall not be so. This year shall not be

963
01:51:18,240 --> 01:51:27,240
so. This year it shall not be so. Say God's persuasion. All the way. Come on,

964
01:51:27,240 --> 01:51:36,240
God's persuasion. All the way. God's persuasion. All the way. God's

965
01:51:36,240 --> 01:51:43,240
persuasion. God's persuasion. All the way. So you are going to stand before the

966
01:51:43,240 --> 01:51:51,240
sick, fearless. Do you understand that? You will stand before the sick, fearless.

967
01:51:51,240 --> 01:51:57,240
You will look at the sick and say I know what God believes about this matter.

968
01:51:57,240 --> 01:52:01,240
Then you tell them be healed. You are not looking for a power from anywhere.

969
01:52:01,240 --> 01:52:07,240
Hallelujah. You just tell them be healed. Are you understanding that? And they be

970
01:52:07,240 --> 01:52:10,240
healed. You are not saying be healed so you will see whether it's working or not.

971
01:52:10,240 --> 01:52:18,240
You know that is God's mind. This year we are healing a lot of sick people.

972
01:52:18,240 --> 01:52:25,240
We are casting out a lot of demons. Like a lot, a lot of demons.

973
01:52:25,240 --> 01:52:35,240
So, ministry will expand. In all shape and form. As a ministry will expand.

974
01:52:35,240 --> 01:52:45,240
In all shape and form. Say my faith. Is what God believes. Alright, let's put it

975
01:52:45,240 --> 01:52:53,240
well. Say what God believes. Is my faith. Say what God believes. Is my faith.

976
01:52:53,240 --> 01:53:08,240
What God believes is my faith. What God believes. What God believes is my faith.

977
01:53:08,240 --> 01:53:19,240
We are going to be praying for the next 15 minutes. Solid. I want you to pray

978
01:53:19,240 --> 01:53:29,240
with so much fervent. Don't just sit down and be speaking in tongues. As though

979
01:53:29,240 --> 01:53:37,240
the tongues is recorded in your mind. With all kinds of seriousness. With all

980
01:53:37,240 --> 01:53:45,240
kinds of seriousness. All kinds of seriousness. You are praying. And then

981
01:53:45,240 --> 01:53:53,240
assemble as many issues that you know what God thinks about. That will ginger

982
01:53:53,240 --> 01:53:59,240
your prayer. So for example, you pick healing. Sicknesses and healings. The

983
01:53:59,240 --> 01:54:06,240
moment you know that this is what God thinks. This is my faith. This year I'm

984
01:54:06,240 --> 01:54:13,240
doing this. Let me read this thing to you before we finish. Before I, I, I. 1720

985
01:54:13,240 --> 01:54:16,240
I believe Matthew.

986
01:54:16,240 --> 01:54:33,240
I believe Matthew.

987
01:54:33,240 --> 01:54:46,240
I believe Matthew.

988
01:54:46,240 --> 01:54:52,240
And Jesus said unto them, because of your unbelief, for verily I say unto you,

989
01:54:52,240 --> 01:55:02,240
if you have faith, it means if you have godly persuasions. If you have godly

990
01:55:02,240 --> 01:55:17,240
persuasions, as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall see unto this mountain,

991
01:55:17,240 --> 01:55:26,240
Dunder place, and it shall re. Come on. It shall re. It shall re. What I want to

992
01:55:26,240 --> 01:55:40,240
tell you. And nothing shall be impossible unto you. If you have godly persuasions,

993
01:55:40,240 --> 01:55:47,240
even as little as a grain of mustard seed, nothing shall be impossible unto you.

994
01:55:47,240 --> 01:55:52,240
So he says if you have really actualized a little fragment of the mind of God,

995
01:55:52,240 --> 01:56:04,240
nothing shall be impossible. What is an impossibility to God? Nothing. And he

996
01:56:04,240 --> 01:56:11,240
says if you can, ee, ee, ee, ee. No, think about if you were with God and God says

997
01:56:11,240 --> 01:56:21,240
I'm going to create the whole universe out of nothing. It doesn't sound sensible.

998
01:56:21,240 --> 01:56:26,240
At least you need some raw materials. And God said nothing. I'll bring it out of

999
01:56:26,240 --> 01:56:38,240
nothing. And he did. So that kind of life is what we call faith. But it's God's

1000
01:56:38,240 --> 01:56:43,240
life. Faith. The things we call faith, they are God's life. Constantly living in

1001
01:56:43,240 --> 01:56:51,240
the miraculous. Constantly living in the miraculous. Ah, I wish I can open your

1002
01:56:51,240 --> 01:56:59,240
heart and put this message into you. So if you're walking with me and I have the

1003
01:56:59,240 --> 01:57:12,240
mind of Christ and I have received the persuasions of God, I can say alright.

1004
01:57:12,240 --> 01:57:21,240
This guy here, who can't walk? He can walk. And I'm not going to apply any

1005
01:57:21,240 --> 01:57:29,240
injection whatsoever. He can walk. And if you also have the same spirit of faith,

1006
01:57:29,240 --> 01:57:33,240
you will shout in joy. You will not open your eyes as though you are looking as

1007
01:57:33,240 --> 01:57:38,240
whether it will work or not because you know that the God's persuasions, nothing

1008
01:57:38,240 --> 01:57:44,240
is impossible. He says nothing shall be impossible. I pray for you in the name of

1009
01:57:44,240 --> 01:57:53,240
Jesus. That this is your story. That this year, nothing shall be impossible. This

1010
01:57:53,240 --> 01:57:58,240
is what we are going to pray about. Like I told you, I walk in godly

1011
01:57:58,240 --> 01:58:05,240
persuasions. I walk in my godly persuasions. I walk in my godly

1012
01:58:05,240 --> 01:58:10,240
persuasions. Over every matter I walk in my godly persuasions.

1013
01:58:10,240 --> 01:58:17,240
Over every matter I walk in my godly persuasions. Not the persuasions

1014
01:58:17,240 --> 01:58:20,240
of the world or not the persuasions of the minds of people, but the

1015
01:58:20,240 --> 01:58:24,240
persuasions of God. Come on lift up your voice. Lift up your voice. Lift up your

1016
01:58:24,240 --> 01:58:31,240
voice. Lift up your voice. Lift up your voice. Come on for the next fifteen

1017
01:58:31,240 --> 01:58:39,180
Jesus. Come on. In the name of

1018
01:58:36,440 --> 01:58:40,780
Jesus in this month, you are

1019
01:58:39,240 --> 01:58:43,580
feasting on the fullness of

1020
01:58:40,840 --> 01:58:46,280
faith. Your faith is alive.

1021
01:58:43,640 --> 01:58:48,120
Your faith is alive. You are

1022
01:58:46,340 --> 01:58:49,620
not waiting for the for for for

1023
01:58:48,180 --> 01:58:52,260
the middle of the year. Your

1024
01:58:49,680 --> 01:58:55,120
faith is alive. Your faith is

1025
01:58:52,320 --> 01:58:57,660
alive. You are achieving God.

1026
01:58:55,200 --> 01:59:00,160
In the name of Jesus, you are

1027
01:59:00,160 --> 01:59:04,700
not waiting for the for for

1028
01:59:01,760 --> 01:59:06,700
Jesus. You will not be weak.

1029
01:59:04,760 --> 01:59:08,600
You will not be weak. You will

1030
01:59:06,760 --> 01:59:12,680
run and not be weary. In the

1031
01:59:08,660 --> 01:59:12,680
name of Jesus.

1032
01:59:12,680 --> 01:59:41,180
For the perfect day.
