there intellectual
instruction
the fire.
We thank you father. Thank you
for the presence of your spirit.
Thank you for the presence of
your word. Thank you that by
your word, your teaching, your
guide, your instructing, your
changing, your transforming,
your teaching. Hallelujah.
Praise god. Hallelujah. Let's
be seated. Let's make sure we
sit. Like we said, let's come
in front.
Hallelujah. Praise the name of
the lord. Tell somebody
welcome to the month of
February.
What is the month of what?
What is February to us?
Is the month of what?
Faith. Advancement. Faith
Advancement. Glory to god.
Okay. Okay. Now,
Let's open our Bibles to
somewhere mark.
I'd like for us to take this
month also serious with the
word of god. Let's visualize
them. Hallelujah. This month,
we're talking about unleashing
your faith. How to unleash your
faith. or how to turn lose your
faith. Praise god. or
how to get your faith to work.
Praise the name of the lord.
Hallelujah. But I'll be, I have
titled it unleashing how to
unleash your faith. It means
that faith is our faith must be
unleashed. Hallelujah. Now,
what is the month? What is
faith? What is faith from last
from last month? What is faith?
Is what? The persuasions of all
the the convictions of god.
Hallelujah. Faith actually is
the mind of god. Now, we didn't
have time for me to explain
that. but faith is god's mind.
Hallelujah. Hallelujah. And
going through the word of god,
you get to know what god thinks.
Now, when you receive the
persuasions from what god
thinks, then we term it as faith.
Then it means that that becomes
the reality for your life.
Hallelujah. See, because the
word of god is about having
information. Hallelujah. But
rather, it is the reality for us
to live by. Now, a man shall
not live by bread alone but by,
come on. Talk to me about by
what? But by every word that
proceeds out of the mouth of
god. Praise god. So, the word of
god is something that we do.
It's not like we've come to
church. We have information.
Then, you're going somewhere or
you're living your life like
somebody who is not controlled
by the word of god. The word of
god is something that we ought
to live by. Now, if you get
born again, we must live by the
word of god. Tell somebody we
live by the word of god. So, he
sees when Jesus was being
tempted and then the devil says
to him, it is written that man
shall not live by bread alone
but by every word that proceeds
out of the mouth of god.
Hallelujah. So, the words that
come out of the mouth of god
must be lived by. Hallelujah.
They it means that they become
your life. When you receive the
word of god, the word of god
is is something that becomes
our life. So, that is what faith
is about. Hallelujah. Glory to
god. Glory. How does faith come?
The Bible says faith comes by
hearing. So, for the coming of
faith, it ought to be what?
Hearing. That is um Romans
chapter ten verse seventeen,
right? So, faith comes by
hearing. You have to hear.
Praise the name of the lord.
Come on. Praise god. So, if you
want to have faith, what do you
do? Come on. What do you do?
So, the more you hear, the more
your faith is built.
The more you hear, the more
your faith, I I think I I I
think I I I think I I I think I
think we we look at it from
Thessalonians. The faith that
grows, it means to grow your
godly persuasions. Hallelujah.
Now, one time, Pastor Chris
said something. He said that he
has passed the stage of standing
before you. It doesn't work.
It doesn't work. Because when
he stands before you, you you
are healed.
Now, you wonder, how can a man
talk like that? Are you God?
So, you see the boys or people
there will be shouting.
Somebody will just carry that
thing and go out and say, I
have a persuasion or the person
will say, there is no sick
person that stand before me.
Somebody will just carry that
thing and they will be still
sick. Why? He is not just
saying that for saying sake.
But it tells you that this is
somebody he has grown his
divine persuasions regarding
the ministry of healing. He's
grown his perception or his
persuasion in what God has said
to him. So, if he can stand
before somebody who who looks
dead. And so, I have the
boldness that when I stand
before you, you are well. That
is not vain. See, a lot of
people think faith is vain.
You know, your ability to go.
That's not faith. You remember
in the in the gospel, a man
said to his brothers that I
came to your disciples first
but they could not. Not they
didn't. They could not. It
means that they tried doing
something but they couldn't.
Alright? So, doing something or
having them for something.
Let's take for example, say
somebody is there. Say, ah, we
will raise the passing up. We
are going to raise the. But do
you have the godly persuasion?
Hallelujah. Praise God. You
know, there are people who who
do things without any serious
reason. Oh, there's somebody
sick. Let's go. Then they go
and come back and their result
is the same. Alright, sometimes
it's from the sick person but
most often than not, we've
heard somebody saying he could
heal and he healed and then
because of that, we think it's
automatic. Alright? But it's not
automatic. You've got to have
faith for that. Because without
faith, the Christian is not
about to have it. The Christian
has faith. But faith grows.
Hallelujah. How does it grow?
Through the word of God.
Hallelujah. Praise the name of
the lord. You may not study
about faith yet your faith will
be so strong. Why? Faith does
not come by necessarily studying
the word of God. If you can keep
on hearing the word of God, if
you can keep on participating
with the word of God, faith
will come.
Alright? Faith will come. So,
at first, there'll be, there
people will be like, I am
believing God for, I am
believing God for this. I am
believing God for that. Why do
you believe that? Because of
the scriptural things ministers
of God will say, go and get all
scriptures about healing, write
them down, and be reading them.
Now, why do you think it's so?
Because we believe that by the
time you're done reading, you
will have a godly persuasion
that sickness is illegal.
Hallelujah. But this is
not the case. And the pain does
not get healed. And the person
think is the fault of one
pastor. You know, like you meet
so many a person says, ah, so
for how long has this problem
be? He said, oh, twelve years.
I've gone to this pastor, I've
gone to this pastor, I've gone
to this pastor, I've gone to
that pastor. One time, a lady
who was sick was being prayed
for and the lady said, I've
been healed.
Hallelujah.
I say, wow. You can't be
healed. Cuz if you have gone to
see TV Joshua, hey, comes and
you are not healed. You cannot
and the world is taking pride.
He's seen a lot of big,
powerful, healing ministers of
God. It's not the fault of a
man of God. Hallelujah. Come
on. You just know in the
provision of salvation, there
is such a thing as financial
provisions.
It's not just brain in terms of
There's such a thing as God
will supply all your needs.
There is that provision in
redemption. Cuz you can't tell
me Jesus died to make us poor.
Jesus was rich but in the
provision of salvation, there
is that advantage for financial
prosperity. Because through
prosperity, the message will be
spread abroad. Hallelujah.
Come on. Are you understanding
that? Yeah. Now, if I want to
work in financial prosperity,
what do you think are some of
the promises of God? Come on.
Come on. I've got to go through
the word of God and find out
number one, how people became
rich. working with God.
Hallelujah. Now, I have to
study that. I have to find out
the promises of God concerning
financial prosperity.
I'm going to read verse three in
Psalm 127. I think there's three.
Let's open there. I have one. I
have wonderful things to tell
you today. Do you believe that?
You believe church is going to
be awesome? Okay. One twenty
seven. Let's do verse three and
four. If you're there, say I'm
there. If you're not there, say
I'm there. No, let's do verse
two. It is vain for you to rise
up early, to sit up late, to
eat the bread of sorrows.
For so he given his beloved.
Come on. Now, all of us, we're
going to read that. If you are
still looking for it, I'm
looking for it.
Come on.
Have you found it? Alright. One
twenty seven. Mm hmm.
He says it is one. It is a waste
of time to do one. To wake up
early. To come and sit. So it's
like you go early in the morning
and still you eat the bread of
sorrows. It means that it is
possible for somebody to labor
and labor and labor and eat the
bread of sorrows. Let's go to
Proverbs. Now, all these things
are not part of what I want to
tell you but just for the
records. As I said, just for
the records. Meanwhile, he
wants to talk.
Let's go to Proverbs.
The blessing of the lord. That
thing that is called the
blessing of the lord. It
make it rich.
He said, I want to tell you
something. And he added no
sorrow with it. So, the
blessing of the lord, he's he's
trying to tell you, the
blessed, have you seen that
thing called the blessing of
the lord? It make it rich.
Glory. Come on. Now, you have a
problem with god making us
rich? He says that. The
blessing of god. Now, the word
that comes from the lord is
that that utterances that comes
from the lord to you. It makes
you rich.
richness that adds no sorrow to
it. Now, who is saying this
thing? Come on, who is saying
this thing? Come on, who is
saying this thing? Who is
saying this thing? Solomon. It
means the one who is saying
this has experienced the
blessing of the lord. And what
the word there is benediction.
What is benediction? Words of
blessing. You know, like we
say, um, let's call
apostolat to pray and close us
and then, pastor will bless
us. That's where he came from.
And it's not wrong at all. So,
somebody finishes praying and
then, the priest will bless.
Now, that's concept is from the
prophet. So, the priest will
say words of prophecy. Your
week is blessed. You know, you
will flourish. Sicknesses will
not come near your dwelling.
You know, those kind of things.
That is the blessing. So, he
says, the blessing of the lord,
the the the benediction of the
lord. It makes rich. And it
adds, he has, he adds no sorrow
to it. Now, if we agree that
the lord made Solomon rich.
Come on. Hallelujah. Now, how
many of us believe God does no
change? Oh, you think God
changed? How many of you go
change? Okay, God doesn't
change but he progresses.
Hallelujah. Okay. Now, let's go
to Kings.
I'm good I'll get to the word
right now.
admin's
Let's do verse one.
Okay read, somebody read for us.
What are you doing?
Okay so let's get to three.
No verse, okay.
And Solomon 6, and Solomon said, thou hast shown unto thy servant.
Alright.
Okay so in five, in in Gibeon, the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night and God said,
ask what I shall give thee.
God gave Solomon a blank check.
He said, fill it with what you want.
He says, right now if God comes to you and asks you, ask what you want and I will give
you.
Some say, I will make God go bankrupt.
Alright so he says, ask what you want and I will give you.
And Solomon said, you have shown thy servant David my father great mercy according as
he walked before thee in truth and in righteousness and in uprightness of heart with thee and
thou hast kept for him this great kindness that thou hast given him a son to sit on
his throne as it is this day.
And now, O Lord my God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David my father in
the stead, okay, and I am but a little child.
I know not how to go out or come in.
And thy servant is in the midst of thy people which thou hast chosen, a great people that
cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude.
Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people that I may discern
between good and bad for who is able to judge this thy so great a people.
And the speech pleased the Lord that Solomon had asked this thing.
Now listen to what God said, and God said unto him, because thou hast asked this thing,
okay let me finish and then see what I want to say, and has not asked for thyself long
life, neither has asked riches for thyself nor has asked the life of your enemies but
has asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment.
Behold I have done according to thy word, lo, I have given thee a wise and understanding
heart so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like
unto thee.
And I also have given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches and honor, so
that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all the days of thy life.
Does God give riches?
Now some of you are scared right now, you're scared to say yes.
Does God, can God give riches?
You know the Bible says He does not withhold anything good from His kids.
God does not do it.
Now so if for example if you're learning about wealth, the first thing the world will tell
you is to do what?
Save.
But from here the first thing to do is to know the will of God.
God says now, God says you didn't ask for the head of your enemies, neither did you
ask for long life, but you asked for understanding and wisdom.
I want to know how you will judge the people, I want to know how I should judge the people.
Now what is that?
Come on, the will of God.
Now so it means you can't begin to get money by chasing after money, you're God's might,
you must know God's will for your life.
Hallelujah.
And then you must know what God's will is in everything that concerns you.
Hallelujah.
It does not begin by grabbing a job.
The Bible says wisdom is the principal thing, therefore get wisdom.
And in all thy getting, get understanding.
Are you understanding that?
So somebody will be running up in the morning going to work and coming back at late, late
night.
And you will be working with God and this one will be eating the bread of sorrows and
God can give you wealth, riches, I mean riches and wealth that you never dreamt of.
Glory to God.
It will be very sarcastic if we think that it's not the will of God for us to be wealthy.
Glory to God.
Very sad, in fact very stupid to think that God does not supply our needs.
But is that going to happen automatically?
No.
How does it come?
By making sure your heart is not set on riches.
Now that's what happened here.
Was Solomon's heart set on riches?
He was set on his assignment.
Having understanding.
Having wisdom to execute his assignment, in fact his ministerial assignment.
Praise the name of the Lord.
Now so this starts with what David said, I don't know why I'm talking about this, but
this starts with what David said.
I was young but now I'm old, I have not seen a righteous man do what beg for bread.
He didn't say I was young, I am old, I have not seen a hard working man who begs for bread.
Come on.
Hallelujah.
So you now understand, you get from the word of God.
When you get to know this matter, then you can say, my goodness, hallelujah.
You can say the mind of God.
It's not the will of God for us to die young.
If you want to have the godly persuasion that you are not dying, regardless of who is dying
around you.
Look at what he says, he says I will satisfy you with long life.
Long life.
I think it's in some 91, it's all 16.
91, 16.
With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation.
I don't have short life.
Are you understanding that?
You cannot kill me at the age of 30 years.
I don't have short life.
I am satisfied with long life.
Come on, hallelujah.
He says I will satisfy him with long life.
So it means it's not the will of God for us to die young.
So those days it will tell you, whatever you're looking for, get scriptures concerning that
thing so that you'll be able to develop your faith towards that.
Hallelujah.
Yeah, you'll be able to develop.
Let's say I have, I can't stop stealing.
I will steal and steal by the time you realize I have stolen you.
You hear admonishment from the word of God, you begin to give yourself to it.
Hallelujah.
And by the time you realize you have the God, now you see what happens is that now you get
the mind of Christ, the mind of God concerning the matter.
Hallelujah.
So it's not like you want to do or you don't want to do.
It goes beyond your willpower.
It becomes a life.
You remember what he said in Proverbs.
The word shall not depart out of thine mouth.
Thou shall meditate there in day and night that thou may have, can you imagine, I'm quoting
Joshua, I'm saying Proverbs.
Attend thine ears unto my saying, keep them in the midst of thine heart.
Hallelujah.
Let them not depart from thine eyes.
Then he says they are life to those who find them.
And health to all their flesh.
So when you find the word, the word is life.
Hallelujah.
The word is my life.
Hallelujah.
I cannot be in a negative realm.
Hallelujah.
My life cannot be a mess.
See why?
The life of God is not a mess.
Hallelujah.
I don't eat the bread of sorrow.
I have the blessing of the Lord.
Glory to God.
I have the blessing of the Lord.
So anytime you check the Old Testament, look at all the guys God picked and see how they
all ended.
He picks David from the desert.
He picks Abraham from a house of idolatry.
Picks all these guys and by the time it was done with them, they had a glorious life.
Glory to God.
So all these things, see every part of our lives, God has a say.
Now it is in our getting into the word that we'll be able to find what God is saying about
that particular thing.
And then as we keep on and as we keep on, like Peter said, like a light that begins
to shine in darkness, you will see that something has come.
Praise the name of the Lord.
Now today I'm talking to you about unleashing your faith, right?
Yeah.
So how do you unleash your faith?
What does it mean to unleash your faith?
Simply to get your faith to work.
Think about the woman who says, the Bible says when he heard about Jesus, she said in
her heart, she said within herself, if I touch the hem of his garment, I will be made whole,
Mark chapter five.
I think 25 downwards.
It means faith works, but how do you release your faith?
For example, you're sick and you need healing.
Hallelujah.
How do you release your faith?
There is such a thing as releasing your faith.
It means that it's not faith is not just about the accumulation of the word.
There is a point you get to where you begin to take steps of faith.
Come on.
What does it mean?
You begin to act on the word of God.
Hallelujah.
You begin to act.
It means that now, no, let's take for example, you, you live in a community or you live in
a family where everybody is stingy.
Naturally, naturally, you'll be a stingy dietist.
You know what I'm saying?
You become stinginess personified.
There's one of our leaders, he says that at first, even if he gives you 10 pesos, you
will account for everything.
It gives you 10 cities.
Go and buy me this thing.
You are never so okay.
Take the change.
Now, there's some of you here.
You've never said take the change before in your life.
You have never let anybody take the change.
Especially teachers, Miriam and Dems.
No, they are gathering the fragments.
I had a lecture, a teacher.
He will send you, you will walk all down to a Luther rise.
You will come back and he will tell you that where is the 50 pesos you are supposed to
have?
Sometimes you behave like you have forgotten.
He will collect it.
Now, imagine if you grow up in the company of these people.
Naturally, you'll be stingy.
Naturally, it's your natural default.
Your natural response is stinginess.
Now, you come to church and they tell you that we are buying air condition.
Automatically, you know that you are not part.
You just know they are buying air condition.
When you hear we are buying, you say they are buying.
Your system automatically tell you that.
Is it possible for such a person to become a giver?
Of course, yes.
How?
By the word of God.
But as the word comes to this person and comes to this person and comes to this person about
giving, if he wants to become a giver, it's not just hearing.
Finally, he must get up one day and then throw some money somewhere.
Are you getting that?
It's the same with everything.
So there's that point where you unleash your faith.
And you see, that is the practical beginning of your growth because Christianity is full
of actions.
The baby snake of Christianity is full of receiving.
The beginning state of maturity is giving.
Take for example, two people are in one room and one is expecting the other to give him
love.
You get it?
You're supposed to love me.
Love me the way I am.
No, why don't you also love the person for not loving you?
Come on, are you understanding that?
But look at it, when you study the word of God, you find out that a lot, when you begin
to grow, it's all about something you have to do.
Hallelujah.
If you win a soul fresh, what do you do?
You have to be going, come to church, you call the person, you try to romance the person,
don't worry, oh come, oh yes, please, yes.
Everything the person says, you just say yes.
I am hungry, yes, I know, you have to eat.
If they have money, they will give you.
Then by the time you're out, they are pampering you, they are pampering you, then they take
you into the church.
Still a baby.
This person may have even gotten born again the day before, but the next day you still
have to force the person to come.
Still a baby.
The point, you know, the point where babyism is full for adulthood to begin, start with
action.
Hallelujah.
It means that, my goodness, I mean, I'm not studying anything, boy.
As long as you've not begun taking actions in Christianity, actions of any sort, you
are not growing.
Now, I mean, actions based on convictions.
Take for example, we're all in the church, we say we are going to win souls.
You see, it never dawned on you that you are part of the people going to win souls.
It means that you have, or maybe, oh, they will call you, they will call you before you
come.
It means that that inner conviction that God is hungry for souls, it hasn't done you yet.
But if it has really eaten you up, what are you going to do?
You begin to walk that talk.
Hallelujah.
The church is full of sick people.
That's one of the, to that one who is the first meeting of the man, I want to be very
gentle.
Look at why Jesus established the church, for the perfecting of the saint.
So the church is a hospital that it's, well, patients get healed.
So you can't say the church is a hospital, so you can't meet everybody here, so everybody
is there.
No, you've got to grow.
Because I don't know, when you're in the church, they don't love you.
They don't love you.
There's no love in the church.
It means you are not growing.
When I go see, Pastor did not bring me at Benquan at the hospital, so I will not go
to church again.
You are not growing.
You are looking for Benquan.
You are not growing.
So how do you unleash, how do you begin?
What is the, what is the beginning point of releasing your faith?
How do you get to know that you've begun releasing your faith?
Or how do you begin releasing your faith?
Number one, right believing and right confession.
Right believing and what?
Right confession.
Hallelujah.
Now, let me take you to Romans chapter 10, Romans chapter 10.
If you're there, say I'm there.
If you're not there, say oh me.
Hey.
All right.
Let's begin from, let me read from verse seven.
Let's start from verse five.
For Moses described the righteous and which of the law, that the man which doeth them,
which doeth those things shall live by them.
But the righteousness which is of faith speaks on this way.
Don't say in your heart, who shall ascend into heaven, that is to bring Christ down
from the dead, or who shall descend into the deep, that is to bring Christ up again from
the dead, or from above, that is fixed.
I will say of it, the word is near you even in your mouth and in your heart.
That is the word of faith which we preach.
So it says faith, the message of faith is in your heart and is in your mouth.
Hallelujah.
Now, ha-ya-ya-ya.
Okay, we'll try and do something.
The word is nigh thee even in thy mouth and in thy heart.
That is the word of faith which we preach.
What is the word of faith that we preach?
If thou shall confess with thy mouth, the Lord Jesus, underline confess.
If thou shall confess with thy mouth, the Lord Jesus.
Then thou shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, thou shall
be saved.
You can say hallelujah to that.
So the word of faith says, you confess the Lordship of Jesus.
And you believe his resurrection.
So that point that faith begins to work is the announcement of the superiority of Jesus.
Glory to God.
So you know, the word that shall be saved there, the word is sozo.
It means deliverance, healing.
It actually also means prosperity when somebody is prosperous.
It means all this good stuff.
And he says that the beginning point of unleashing your faith is to declare the superiority of
Jesus.
It means that for your faith to work, you must declare that Jesus is superior.
So here I am, sick and broken.
I have to say with my mouth the superiority of Jesus.
Not the superiority of my problem, but the superiority of Jesus.
Confessing that Jesus is greater than what I'm seeing.
Come on, hallelujah.
You see, so take for example, now I went to pray for somebody.
We were having a meeting and I was teaching on the candle stand in the Old Testament.
And I was teaching that very powerful meeting.
People were falling under the power and stuff like that.
Then the Lord told me there is a sister in there whose brother is sick.
So I knew the brother was sick and all of that.
Then the Lord says it's time.
Because the lady has been warned, come and pray for him.
Come and pray for him.
I was not going.
Then that day the place got charred.
Then the Lord says, all right, go and pray.
Then I told her sister, after service let's go.
When I was going, charged up, you know.
You know.
Then we got there.
The guy was just...
So I laid hands.
I was just in a wheelchair or a chair.
I forgot him.
Laid hands.
Poor, poor.
With the waist, you know.
That's the way people cannot walk.
Yeah, yeah, you know.
You touch, touch where they have to stand up and walk.
When I feel it, I say, all right.
I did like this.
Then the sister can say, please, please, please, please.
Please, he cannot walk.
He can't walk.
In the mind of that sister, the inability to walk is bigger than the prayers we've come
to pray.
So there's no way it's going to work.
Faith begins when you acknowledge the superiority of Jesus.
Hallelujah.
If I cannot walk and Jesus tells me you can walk, I know he is superior.
Are you understanding that?
So that is the beginning of faith, confessing, proclaiming the Lordship of Jesus.
Romans chapter 14 verse 9, quickly.
Say, I believe in Jesus.
I believe in Jesus.
Can't say, I believe Jesus is superior.
So I believe Jesus is superior to poverty.
I believe Jesus is superior to curses.
The reason why I have faith that I cannot be cursed is because my Jesus is superior to curses.
I believe I cannot go to a place, preach the gospel and suffer attack.
Why?
Jesus is superior.
And that is faith.
And he says, you know what, when you acknowledge that, say that with your mouth.
Say that with your mouth.
Romans 14,9 quickly.
I believe.
Oh, you don't believe that.
I said, I believe.
For to this purpose that Christ both died, I think I should read from NLT.
Give me some few seconds.
Mano, Marco, shati.
As the Romans one, okay.
49.
Okay.
Now let's do amplify.
Oh my goodness.
49 for Christ died and lived again for this very purpose that he might be the Lord both of the day and of the living.
So Christ died.
And he was raised back to life to be the superior one.
See, it means that if you don't know the place of Jesus in your life, you will be defeated.
Hallelujah.
Come on.
Hallelujah.
He is superior.
The Bible says that by all things, he might have the preeminence.
He might have the first ranking of all things.
See, so when we say we confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, it's not just when we get saved.
He put it somewhere.
No, he says it's called the word of faith, which we preach.
So if you confess it, there is deliverance, there's healing.
Hallelujah.
Say Jesus is superior.
Oh, you don't love Jesus?
Say he is superior.
So he is superior.
He is superior to Satan.
He is superior to his attacks.
He is superior to all the works of the devil.
He is superior to darkness.
This is what I confess.
So listen, this is me.
I'm seeing all kinds of darkness here.
I don't, Jesus is, don't address the problem.
Tell the problem I'm big.
I am big.
Jesus is superior.
I know you are here, but Jesus is superior.
You see, faith is don't come with your ability.
Come with the superiority of Jesus.
Jesus is superior.
Give somebody a high five.
Say Jesus is superior.
Hallelujah.
Just sit down for a minute.
So he is superior.
If you will confess the superiority of Jesus,
and I'll come to believe, I'll come to believe, I'll come to believe.
If you will confess, that means you must know him.
You must know Christ to be able to confess his superiority.
Hallelujah.
See, that's why the gospel reveals Christ to us.
So that we have something to lay hold onto.
That we can shout it.
We can proclaim it.
We can announce it.
Hallelujah.
He is superior.
He is superior to accident.
He is superior to diabetes.
He's superior to ulcer.
He's superior to hypertension.
He's superior to paralysis.
He is superior to leukemia.
He is superior.
Jesus is superior.
Where we stand before the sick, I say Jesus is superior.
Jesus is superior.
Hallelujah. I believe this
thing. and I say this day.
Hallelujah. Alright, we are
going to come back to that.
Let's go to Colossians.
Glory to god.
Hallelujah.
giving thanks to the father
verse twelve one chapter one
verse twelve giving thanks to
the father who was qualified as
a male as fit to share the
portion which is the inheritance
of saints. God's holy people in
the light. The father has
delivered and drawn us to
himself out of the control and
dominion of darkness.
My goodness. Hallelujah.
The father has delivered and
drawn us to himself. out of the
control and dominion of
into the kingdom of the son of his love in whom we have our redemption. So listen he says if you
want to know how delivered you are you've got to know where you are. Hallelujah. So he has he has
drawn us to himself and when God drew us to himself he placed us into his son.
It means if you're Christian and you you're still battling with these guys you don't know who you are
you don't know where you are. What does that mean? You don't know Christ. Now listen to what he says
in whom we have our redemption through his blood which means the forgiveness of our sins. He is the
exact likeness of the unseen God. The visible representation of the invisible. He is the first
born of all creations. For it was in him that all things were created in heaven and on earth.
Things seen and things unseen whether thralls dominion rulers authorities all things were
created and exist through him and in him and for him. And he himself existed before all things
and in him all things consist. And I held together.
I am superior. So if I get to a place and there is a principality I am going to tell that
principality Jesus is superior. That is the word of faith which we preach. So the word of faith
that we preach is not just say I accept the Lord Jesus Christ as my Lord and personal savior and
that is just the elementary one. But you know what as we grow we still confess this thing.
The lordship of Jesus means he is superior to dominions. He is superior to thralls. He is
superior. I cannot be a Christian and be battling with the thrones or the altars of my family
and know where I am. Now am I talking to somebody? I don't battle with family altars. I don't battle
with family thrones. No whether they be thrones whether they be altars no matter what they are
Jesus is superior.
He is superior. Hallelujah. Say he is superior. He is superior. He is superior. He is superior.
He is superior. He is superior. Sit down for a minute.
So the beginning of faith is the acknowledgement of the superiority of Jesus.
That's why the faith is not vim. Hallelujah. Take your time and know that
when you begin to say if any man be in Christ he is a new creator yes the sickness will still be
there all right it's still hanging somewhere there but if any man be in Christ he is a new creation.
Who is this Christ that I found myself in?
I can't have asthma. I can't have diabetes. I can't have heart problems. I live in the superior Christ.
No I can't be unfortunate. Come on I cannot be unfortunate. I cannot be unfortunate. I can't be
unfortunate. I know where I belong. I can't be unfortunate. You don't have Christians who don't
even like themselves. That's low self-esteem. They can't talk when people are talking.
I cannot be unfortunate. I live in the superior Christ.
Are you understanding that? So it says, eat thou shall confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus.
If you can confess in with your mouth the superiority of Jesus, the lordship of Jesus
the lordship of Jesus sickness cannot be my Lord afflictions cannot be my Lord.
See I confess the lordship of Jesus.
So listen to what he say. Paul says look at see the picture a man that is sick that is coming
and is not born again and the man is coming. We are not going to tell the man that oh you are sick.
Let's pity with you for your sickness. All right so all the sick people you'll be here.
All those who are not sick and you want to confess Jesus be here. Put all of them together.
And no matter their situation, various situations that is bring them to Christ.
Tell them Jesus is Lord. Jesus is superior. Jesus is Lord. Jesus is superior.
That is the superiority of Jesus. So if you want faith to begin to work in your life,
if you want to begin to release your faith, you must first of all begin to announce, declare,
proclaim the superiority of Jesus. It means superiority of Jesus over every circumstance,
over anything that you are dealing with, over anything that you're dealing with,
anything you're dealing with, anything you're dealing with.
It is a go grab an oil. He said just keep on saying Jesus is Lord.
Jesus is Lord. For example, when you begin to say Jesus is my light, Jesus is my light,
Jesus is my light, Jesus is my light. How strong is that light?
I know where I am. Come on. I know where I am. How am I preaching good somebody? I know where I am.
I believe in the superiority of Jesus. Come on. I believe in the superiority of Jesus.
I believe. I believe. Say whether they be thrones or dominions or government or names,
they are all names. He is above them. He is above them. Jesus is above. Jesus is above.
Jesus is above. Jesus is above. He is above. He is above my needs. He is above.
He is above. He is above. Jesus is above. Hallelujah.
Just sit down for a minute. Sit down for a minute.
See, why do we run to somebody to save us?
Because we now believe that the person has the ability.
So, if you believe that he is above, then you know he can do it.
He can do it. That's what it means to believe his Lord.
So, the Bible says, and nothing shall be impossible with faith. Nothing shall be impossible.
What is the faith he's talking about? The word of faith. What is the word of faith? Jesus is above.
Jesus is above. Jesus is above. Hey, hey, hey. I will not have a gloomy life. My life is shining.
My life is shining. My life is shining.
No, if you begin to see a father that is your life or that's your everything,
a husband that is your everything, a girlfriend or boyfriend that's your everything,
you can die. Because that person, you can die. But listen, Jesus is above.
Glory to God. He is above. He is above.
Glory to God. Glory to God. Glory to God.
Glory to God. See, why would the apostles walk just out to every nation, every territory,
and turn the place upside down?
They preach, he says the word of faith is the confession of the abovment of Jesus.
Glory. He's above thrones. He's above dominions. See, this is what we ought to teach people who
come to Christ. Because that's how their faith will begin to work. Alright, listen,
glory to God. I mean, we are out of time. Can I do a little more? Can I really do a little more?
Can I really do a little more? Okay. So Jesus is above. Now this is Peter and John
on their way to the temple to pray.
Then they meet this man
who has never walked.
Then the man says, the man kept on looking at them expecting money.
So people come and they'll be dropping money, they'll be dropping money, they'll be dropping
money, they'll be dropping money. Then these two guys get there and the man is waiting to receive
money. Then Peter says, look on us. Okay, pratandaste. Weakest to prakatiya, sobra,
aren't they? See, you cannot understand faith. You cannot walk in faith if you don't know how
powerful the name of Jesus is. Oh! That's alright, silver and gold, we don't have. But such
as I have, I give on to thee. Now in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise,
I a call, see, cut the bacalu, a grosty. Rise up and walk. I said this year you will heal the sick.
I said this year you will cast out devils. This year you speak in tongues like never before.
I said this year darkness will despair from your face. You will come with the light of God
and you will crush darkness. You will crush darkness. You will crush darkness in the name of Jesus.
Hey, this year when you hear we are having missions anywhere, run and come, you say,
it is work time, it is work time, it is work time, work time. Come on.
So he says, in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.
Rise up and walk. The Bible says, immediately he receives strength in his ankle bones,
without any injection, without any pill, without any tablet. There is a name that is above a tablet.
There is a name that is above a pill. There is a name that is above an injection. The name is Jesus.
I said the name is Jesus. He a corpora and we declare, we declare, we declare the lordship
of the name of Jesus.
No darkness will be able to stand our light. No darkness will be able to stand our light.
Why? The light of the name of Jesus is above, is above, is above.
The light of the name of Jesus is above, is above. Are you here with me everybody?
Hey, hey, cancerous cells, they die in my body.
When I declare the name of Jesus on anybody, cancer dies.
Listen, what if this man, see what if this man, his parents are going to do something and somebody cares them?
What if this man, somebody cares the parents and spiritually there is legalities, there are legalities
to be able to break or to overturn the cares. So even now, when they care somebody, they say go to,
maybe go to Antwai Gohe, now call Danidrian.
Because in spiritual legalities, you must go and confess your sin, then they will overturn.
But the story changes. When the name of Jesus is introduced, I say the story changes.
When the name of Jesus is introduced, I say the story changes.
Listen, I don't know if it is a nurses here or anybody who has chosen to go and pray for sick people at the hospital.
Whose belly is swollen? You will put, and the doctors have said that there is a fluid that is causing that.
And the Lord will lead you to this person. You will lay hands on this person and I am telling you,
in the authority of the name of Jesus, you will go and come back and the thing would have shrunk in the name of Jesus.
Jesus is above. I say Jesus is above. Jesus is above.
Alright, sit down for two seconds.
So, faith begins when you confess the Lordship of Jesus.
See, it calls it the word of faith. See, the word of the persuasions of God.
You begin to act or you begin to unleash your faith by the declaration, by the announcement that Jesus is above.
Hallelujah. Alright, so here is a report from the doctor and here is Jesus.
And the report of the doctor says this person cannot walk again. Jesus is above.
See, this year takes some time to study to know who Jesus is. Hallelujah.
So, if thou shall confess the Lordship of Jesus.
Remember one time somebody was sick and one of the disciples says, brother, Jesus makes you whole.
Jesus makes you whole. Jesus makes you whole. This year, practicalize your faith.
Are you understanding that? Pray for the sick like you have never, like you have never done before.
Find a place and practicalize your faith. Yeah. He said Jesus made you. And the Bible said immediately he rose up.
Immediately. He had been on the sick bed for months. And simply say, Jesus, do you think he was on the sick bed and nobody has had music, drugs?
They had. But this particular sickness is above the drug. That's alright. Jesus makes you whole.
Jesus makes you whole. Jesus makes you whole.
See, it is this persuasion. It is this persuasion that will cause you to act in all boldness.
Praise the name of the Lord. I know Jesus is above money. So I don't get trapped by money.
Come on. Hallelujah. He is above. I don't get trapped.
Wherefore God has also highly exalted him. And given him a name that is above every other name.
Wherefore God has also highly exalted him. And given him a name that is above, that is above, that is above, that is above, that is above.
Jesus, don't stay in this body.
The name lives in my mouth.
By the name of Jesus, every knee should bow. Of things in heaven, of things on earth and of things under the earth.
We will go to demonic territories and come back unharmed.
We will tread into dangerous grounds and we will come back unharmed. Why?
We're going with the name of Jesus.
See the miracles seen at the Paracum, they're just the beginning. This year, myself together with you, we will work mighty miracles.
I don't know how many of you are here with me. I say we are working mighty miracles with the name of Jesus.
With the name of Jesus. With the name of Jesus.
Sit down, sit down, sit down. Let's try to, let me try and see if we can wrap up.
So he says, the word of faith is, if you will confess with your mouth, the Lord Jesus, it will not fail.
If the word confess is homologous, it means to agree with God.
So if you will agree with God, it means that God has already said his.
Now that's why it's called faith. If you will agree with God, that Jesus is Lord.
That's what he's saying. If thou shall confess. And the word, the word confess is to agree with God by saying.
All right? To say the same thing in concept as God is saying.
So if you will agree with God, that Jesus is superior to this sickness.
If you will agree with God, that Jesus is superior to that problem.
If you will agree with God, that Jesus is superior to depressing, a lack of peace.
If you will agree with God, that Jesus is superior to any kind of problem you are facing.
You see, you see, just agree with God. He's saying that, listen, Jesus is superior. Will you agree with me?
Maybe on Friday I'll talk to you about with the heart. I mean, the heart matter. I can't deal with it right now.
Then it says, verse 10 says, for with the heart, man believes unto righteousness.
Let's put that down. We're going to deal with that on Friday. And with the mouth,
confession is made. With the mouth, confession, declaration, announcement, proclamation is made unto wholeness.
That's the word salvation, sorteria. Hallelujah. With the mouth, with the mouth, with the mouth,
confession is made unto wholeness. So when you agree with God, then you begin to say, you begin to say.
See, he didn't say, he didn't say, alright, when, like, you know, you see the sickness, you're like, whoo.
No. You see the problem as big as it is. It looks unsurmountable.
You know, like what the Israelites say, we look like grasshoppers before them. That's in your own eyes.
Will you agree with God? Come on. Will you agree with God?
Do you agree with God that your life is not a mess?
Do you agree with God that even now, even in your life, as things are very hopeless and you don't even know where you are going from this state,
you can, can you still agree with God that your life is still on course?
Are you understanding that?
Will you, can you, can you agree with God?
That oh Lord, I agree, alright, it looks like everything is messed up right now.
But I know the superior Lord. I know the great master.
Do you remember when Paul says, for I know whom I've believed.
He didn't say, I think, I know. There's an agreement I have with God about the one that I have believed.
See, this week before we meet on Friday, let the superiority of the Lord be on your mouth.
Hallelujah. No, it's not just, it's not just moving about. No.
He's far above all principalities. He's far above all dominions.
Whether they be thrones, he's above. Whether they be principalities, he's above.
Whether they be governments, whether they be kings, he's above.
Whether they be sickness, he's above. Lord, you are above. I believe you're working in my life.
I believe you're working. I believe you are working.
God is up to something with my life. Jesus is up to something.
You are the Lord of my life. You are the Lord of my life.
You are the Lord of my life.
See, this is my confession. Come on, say, this is my confession.
Jesus is Lord. Do you have Christians here?
See, don't let anybody cheat you like, it's not just about, you know, you don't just come. No.
That is my confession. Jesus is Lord. Jesus is above.
Jesus is Lord. Jesus is Lord.
Jesus is Lord. Jesus is Lord. Jesus is Lord.
Jesus is Lord. Jesus is Lord.
He is Lord of our blindness. He
is Lord of our sickness. He is
Lord of our deafness. He is
Lord of our darkness. He is
Lord. The one the one who stood
in a boat and commanded the sea
to be calm. That's the one I'm
talking about. He's Lord. He's
the master of the oceans. Who
calls there? says. He is the
master of the oceans. The master
of the sea. The one who is the
master of demons. The one who
lived healing all kinds of
sick. He is Lord. He is Lord.
He is Lord. He is Lord. And his
power is flowing through me.
See, it is Lord. His power is
superior to any power. His
power. I walk in the light of
Christ. I walk in the power of
Christ. I walk in the wisdom
of Christ. I walk in the
ability of Christ. I walk in
the righteousness of Christ.
Glory, glory, glory, glory,
glory.
He is my Lord. He is my Lord.
The Lord Jesus will never stop
writing the Lord Jesus. The
Lord Jesus. The Lord Jesus.
The Lord Jesus. That is the
word of faith which we preach.
We don't preach a weak Christ.
Hallelujah. We don't preach a
weak Christ. We don't preach a
small Christ. No, no, no, no.
We don't preach a powerless
Christ. No, no, no. Our Christ
is not like Mohammed. No, no,
no. Our Christ is not like a
poor man. We preach the healing
Jesus. Come on here. We preach
the restoring Jesus. We
preach the saving Jesus. That
is the Jesus I preach. Glory to
God.
When I get to a town or a city,
I did not come with a Jesus
that is weak. I did not come
with a Jesus. I came with a
Jesus that heals. I came with
a Jesus that saves. Are you
here with me somebody? That is
the Jesus I come up with.
See, I may be just twenty-five,
twenty-two, twenty-one, twenty,
twenty, whatever. But I come
with an above Lord. Be
careful. Don't close. Say my
faith is working. Come on say
my faith is working. See,
somebody tell me, how is your
faith working? I declare the
lordship of Jesus. See, this
particular February, huh? Don't
close your mouth. Can I can I
tell you something for the
Lord? Make confessions. Make
confessions. Make confessions of
the lordship of Jesus. See,
Jesus Christ is my wisdom. I
have a superior wisdom. I have
the mind of Christ. I have a
superior mind. Say my IQ cannot
be calculated.
Hallelujah. Hallelujah. I love
this thing. I said I love this
thing.
Call
Glory to God.
Declare the lordship of Jesus.
One day, Pastor Benihin said
something. Now, he was about to
heal the sick and then he says,
right now, I want you to forget
your problem. Forget the pain.
Forget the sickness. Now, I'm
there, I'm thinking, if I came
and I'm blind, how in the world
do you want me to forget that
I'm blind? This is forget it.
And concentrate on worshiping
the Lord. Just concentrate on
worshiping the Lord. You know
why you'll be, you'll be, you'll
be, or you'll be crying, you'll
be wailing, and you're thinking
and you're down, you're
depressed, you're this, you're
that. Because you're thinking
about the problem. You're
letting the problem have a
better part of you. When there
is a problem, one of the ways
to declare the lordship of
Jesus, he says, let all the
angels worship him.
He says, let all the angels
worship him. So, you want to,
you want to declare his
lordship, worship him. In the
face of the problem. Then you
worship him.
He's Lord.
Say in the name of Jesus.
In the name of Jesus. Nothing
will overpower me. I am under
the lordship of Jesus. One
more time. Say in the name of
Jesus. Because I'm under the
lordship of Jesus. Jesus is my
job. Jesus is my joy. Jesus is
my happiness. Jesus is my
health. Jesus is my wisdom.
See, so you begin to, you,
whatever situation, listen,
don't attack it. Maybe it's
even an annoying situation.
Don't attack it with anger.
See, separate the problem from
you. And then say, Jesus is
bigger. Jesus is stronger.
Jesus is more powerful. Jesus
is Lord. Jesus is Lord. See, if
we believe that Jesus is Lord,
