Hallelujah. 00:02:00.900 --> 00:02:03.239 Yeah, so now on Wednesday we stopped somewhere. 00:02:03.299 --> 00:02:05.280 We said, what does it mean to be filled with 00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:08.580 the Spirit? Amen. What does it mean to be filled 00:02:08.580 --> 00:02:11.500 with the Spirit? Praise God. And we read Acts 00:02:11.500 --> 00:02:13.919 chapter 2, everybody. Let's go to Acts chapter 00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:16.759 2. Acts chapter 2. So if you're with us on Wednesday, 00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:19.819 you'll remember this. Acts chapter 2 verse 4. 00:02:21.580 --> 00:02:23.439 So the question we're handling is, what does 00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:25.479 he mean to be what? What does he mean to be what? 00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:32.000 Filled with. So in the scriptures, right, there 00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:36.819 is a reality for the believer that the believer 00:02:36.819 --> 00:02:40.900 should be filled with what? With the Spirit, 00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:44.719 with the Holy Ghost. Amen? So where did we get 00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:47.280 it from? From where? We're going to see it from 00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:50.900 where? From the scriptures. So which means that 00:02:50.900 --> 00:02:54.000 if it's in the scriptures, it's also our reality. 00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:57.439 Amen? Praise God. So let's read it all together. 00:02:58.099 --> 00:03:02.599 Acts chapter 2 verse 4. And they were all, read 00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:05.599 now, everybody's with Bible. And they were all 00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:12.560 filled with the Holy Ghost. Hallelujah. And the 00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:16.819 Holy Ghost held their tongue and began to speak 00:03:16.819 --> 00:03:18.560 through them. Is that what your Bible is reading? 00:03:18.939 --> 00:03:21.099 Is that what your Bible is saying? That the Holy 00:03:21.099 --> 00:03:23.520 Ghost held their tongue? What is your Bible saying? 00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:26.360 What happened to them? They were what? They were 00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:30.280 filled with what? Then who spoke? So which means 00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:32.900 that they have a choice not to speak, right? 00:03:33.699 --> 00:03:36.599 I hope you know. They can choose not to speak. 00:03:36.699 --> 00:03:39.400 Yes or true? So which means they can choose to 00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:42.800 what? Not to speak. But the scripture says that 00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:46.479 who began to speak? So upon filling with the 00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:49.990 Holy Ghost, they began to what? They began to 00:03:49.990 --> 00:03:55.150 speak with how many tongues? With other tongues 00:03:55.150 --> 00:03:58.650 as the Spirit gave them what? Other tongues. 00:03:58.750 --> 00:04:00.849 On Wednesday, I told us that we could read it 00:04:00.849 --> 00:04:04.870 this way. Amen? And they were all filled with 00:04:04.870 --> 00:04:09.030 the Holy Ghost and the Holy Ghost gave them other 00:04:09.030 --> 00:04:12.830 tongues and they began to speak with other tongues. 00:04:13.229 --> 00:04:15.969 Hallelujah. Do we understand how I just read 00:04:15.969 --> 00:04:18.850 it now? Okay, everybody, your eyes on the Bible. 00:04:18.949 --> 00:04:21.689 Let's see how I said. Let's read it now. And 00:04:21.689 --> 00:04:25.410 they were all filled with the Holy Ghost. As 00:04:25.410 --> 00:04:29.350 the Holy Ghost gave them utterance, they began 00:04:29.350 --> 00:04:34.490 to speak with other tongues. Hallelujah. Praise 00:04:34.490 --> 00:04:38.490 God. So as they continued to speak, there was 00:04:38.490 --> 00:04:42.509 or there is a source of utterance from what? 00:04:42.629 --> 00:04:45.529 From the Holy Ghost. So they were not just filled. 00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:49.220 With the Holy Ghost alone? But as they were filled 00:04:49.220 --> 00:04:52.079 with the Holy Ghost, utterance also came with 00:04:52.079 --> 00:04:54.720 the filling. Amen? Did we see it in the Bible? 00:04:54.860 --> 00:04:57.939 That all they did is to do what? All they did 00:04:57.939 --> 00:05:01.779 is to do what? Who gave the utterance? The Holy 00:05:01.779 --> 00:05:05.459 Ghost. Praise God. Praise God. Say, even now. 00:05:06.019 --> 00:05:09.819 Raise your hand. Say, even now. Even now. Even 00:05:09.819 --> 00:05:14.430 now. I believe and I know right now. The Holy 00:05:14.430 --> 00:05:17.509 Ghost is giving me utterance and I'm going to 00:05:17.509 --> 00:05:21.769 speak in other tongues. Hallelujah. Praise God. 00:05:22.069 --> 00:05:25.370 I just told you your reality now. Hallelujah. 00:05:25.449 --> 00:05:27.550 You can be in the school bus and be filled with 00:05:27.550 --> 00:05:30.449 the Holy Ghost. Because these men were gathered 00:05:30.449 --> 00:05:33.649 together in a room. They were not in a church. 00:05:33.829 --> 00:05:35.389 Oh, let me not use the word church. They were 00:05:35.389 --> 00:05:38.639 not in a building. Hallelujah. Here we are just 00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:41.079 in sort of one room somewhere and gathered together. 00:05:41.579 --> 00:05:44.040 Sir, do you mean that so, even in my room I can 00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:47.180 be filled with the Holy Ghost?

On the street, you can be filled 00:05:51.300 --> 00:05:54.300 what? With the Spirit. Oh, as you are playing 00:05:54.300 --> 00:05:56.459 ball, you are about to score. I think in school 00:05:56.459 --> 00:05:58.699 I used to play football, yeah. Yes, I always 00:05:58.699 --> 00:06:00.360 see him. I don't know whether he has repented 00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:02.959 because I have not seen him in a while. Posts. 00:06:03.699 --> 00:06:05.180 You know, there are some people here, right? 00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:07.220 As you are about, you know you are in that ball. 00:06:07.579 --> 00:06:09.439 You are in that ball.

On Wednesday, a couple of people, I 00:11:40.370 --> 00:11:42.470 know some of us were not there. So let me repeat 00:11:42.470 --> 00:11:45.450 the scriptures because we've read a good number 00:11:45.450 --> 00:11:47.169 of them on Wednesday. Acts chapter 19, verse 00:11:47.169 --> 00:11:50.230 6. You could write it down. Acts 19, 6. Luke 00:11:50.230 --> 00:11:53.450 1, 41. Luke 1, 41. You realize that all these 00:11:53.450 --> 00:11:55.610 people, when they were filled with the Holy Ghost, 00:11:55.649 --> 00:11:57.610 they began to what? They speak. Some of them 00:11:57.610 --> 00:12:02.230 prophesied. Amen. Good. Acts 1, 67. And Luke 00:12:02.230 --> 00:12:07.110 1, 67. Sorry. Luke 1 .67. Luke 4 .1. Luke 4 .1. 00:12:07.850 --> 00:12:14.470 Acts 2 .4. Acts 2 .4. Acts 4 .8. Acts 4 .8. Acts 00:12:14.470 --> 00:12:22.950 4 .30 -31. Acts 4 .30 -31. Acts 9 .16 -17. Acts 00:12:22.950 --> 00:12:28.909 9 .16 -17. Acts 7 .55. You see, most of the scriptures 00:12:28.909 --> 00:12:31.519 we are reading is all in Acts, right? Acts chapter 00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:35.259 7 verse 55. Acts chapter 13 verse 52. Acts chapter 00:12:35.259 --> 00:12:39.019 13 verse 52. Acts chapter 13 verse 9. And then 00:12:39.019 --> 00:12:42.419 Acts chapter 6 verse 3. Hallelujah. Praise God. 00:12:42.759 --> 00:12:45.580 And we establish a truth on Wednesday that to 00:12:45.580 --> 00:12:48.340 be filled with the Spirit of God means to allow 00:12:48.340 --> 00:12:52.620 for the demonstration or the manifestation of 00:12:52.620 --> 00:12:56.720 the gifts of the Holy Ghost. Hallelujah. We saw 00:12:56.720 --> 00:12:59.899 in Acts chapter 2 verse 4 that The Holy Ghost 00:12:59.899 --> 00:13:04.480 gave them what? The Holy Ghost gave them utterance, 00:13:04.620 --> 00:13:07.620 right? Good. So we say being filled with the 00:13:07.620 --> 00:13:11.580 Spirit means to allow for the demonstration or 00:13:11.580 --> 00:13:16.379 the manifestation of the gifts of the Holy Ghost. 00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:19.600 So we can say again that being filled with the 00:13:19.600 --> 00:13:23.159 Spirit of God means the manifestation of the 00:13:23.159 --> 00:13:26.360 Spirit from within. The manifestation of the 00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:30.779 Spirit from where? From within. You're not writing. 00:13:30.919 --> 00:13:32.720 Are you recording it on your phone? You're not 00:13:32.720 --> 00:13:35.779 writing. You've been looking at me. Even collect 00:13:35.779 --> 00:13:39.460 pen. Take pen. I have pen. I dash you. Don't 00:13:39.460 --> 00:13:41.820 worry. It's not a success pen. It's a normal 00:13:41.820 --> 00:13:45.679 pen. Give a paper or something. So this is how, 00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:48.899 when I talk, I look at everybody's eyes. I want 00:13:48.899 --> 00:13:51.399 to see what is inside. So I want to see everybody 00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:55.059 is active. Put the recording. Okay. You listen 00:13:55.059 --> 00:13:57.200 to it after service and write and snap it and 00:13:57.200 --> 00:14:03.340 send me what you have written. Amen. Hallelujah. 00:14:04.220 --> 00:14:05.840 People that are being filled with the spirit 00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:09.000 of God, they pay attention during services. Hallelujah. 00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:11.940 Yes. Not you guys. The previous guys we used 00:14:11.940 --> 00:14:14.139 to have that come here. During service, you see 00:14:14.139 --> 00:14:16.909 them playing computer game. There was one guy 00:14:16.909 --> 00:14:18.669 there. He was playing computer game. Candy Crush. 00:14:18.990 --> 00:14:21.250 Let me say something jokingly. If you play Candy 00:14:21.250 --> 00:14:23.370 Crush, your life will be crushed. That was a 00:14:23.370 --> 00:14:27.370 joke. Praise God. Sir, this Pastor Koston, you 00:14:27.370 --> 00:14:30.610 like play? Of course. You just finished hearing 00:14:30.610 --> 00:14:33.370 now that we are going to be singing melody. You 00:14:33.370 --> 00:14:39.009 know, only my wife can marry me. I said, my wife, 00:14:39.070 --> 00:14:42.009 she's serious. She's carrying a serious face. 00:14:42.429 --> 00:14:45.049 Yes, that is it. That's the Spirit of God. You 00:14:45.049 --> 00:14:47.289 see, that thing that you have had somewhere that 00:14:47.289 --> 00:14:49.049 they say, because you are filled with the Spirit 00:14:49.049 --> 00:14:51.370 of God. Bless you, brother. They didn't teach 00:14:51.370 --> 00:14:53.590 you well about the Spirit of God. I said it here 00:14:53.590 --> 00:14:58.149 someday. Here. That even people in the office, 00:14:58.330 --> 00:15:00.629 they say, anytime we come and meet you, where 00:15:00.629 --> 00:15:04.450 we live, there is this energy. We just leave 00:15:04.450 --> 00:15:09.409 your office, sir. We live with energy. It's not 00:15:09.409 --> 00:15:12.779 energy. It's the Spirit of... It's called the 00:15:12.779 --> 00:15:16.639 joy of the Holy Ghost. Many a times, some of 00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:18.940 you will come and say, you put all your problems 00:15:18.940 --> 00:15:22.720 on us and say it. You don't know our problem 00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:27.379 is more than yours. But we come here, the Lord 00:15:27.379 --> 00:15:32.820 is good. He is faithful. Hallelujah. Glory. You 00:15:32.820 --> 00:15:34.820 say, these pastors, they're enjoying, you know. 00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:39.820 We're going to see it. You see, when you're filled 00:15:39.820 --> 00:15:43.200 with the Spirit of God, It defies every kind 00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:45.980 of difficult situations you are inside. Oh, you 00:15:45.980 --> 00:15:50.000 only see those situations the way Jesus sees 00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:53.740 them. So we said, that time means manifestation 00:15:53.740 --> 00:15:56.460 of the Spirit from where? From within. Hallelujah. 00:15:57.539 --> 00:16:00.100 Write this, that the feeling of the Spirit or 00:16:00.100 --> 00:16:02.919 the feeling with the Spirit of God is not a one 00:16:02.919 --> 00:16:07.379 -time experience. Hallelujah. It's not a what? 00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:11.840 It's not a one -time. This is the most beautiful 00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:15.399 part now. Write this. The feeling with the Spirit 00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:19.139 of God is for ministry. Hallelujah. It's for 00:16:19.139 --> 00:16:24.500 what? It's for ministry. It's for ministry. Hallelujah. 00:16:24.740 --> 00:16:29.000 When we say be filled with the Spirit, we mean, 00:16:29.259 --> 00:16:33.980 I'm going to use this term, actively stir up 00:16:33.980 --> 00:16:36.799 the gifts of the Spirit which is within you. 00:16:36.879 --> 00:16:41.039 Do what? Actively what? Stare up. You can replace 00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:44.179 that word actively with consciously stare up. 00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:48.700 Add another word. Mindfully stare up the what? 00:16:48.899 --> 00:16:52.159 The gifts of the Holy Ghost. That is where? That 00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:55.659 is within you. So, for example, as the Holy Ghost, 00:16:55.899 --> 00:16:58.860 you know that the Spirit of God dwells in you. 00:16:58.960 --> 00:17:02.740 As he gives you utterance, you actively do what? 00:17:02.940 --> 00:17:07.099 You actively do what? You speak. You consciously 00:17:07.099 --> 00:17:11.480 what? Speak! Hallelujah! On a Sunday morning 00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:14.059 like this, and then you just arrive to church. 00:17:14.259 --> 00:17:16.539 I know a large number of us are students here, 00:17:16.579 --> 00:17:18.779 so I'm going to give a student's kind of example. 00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:22.160 And then you arrive to church, you're trusting 00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:24.779 the Lord. Most of the things that most of you 00:17:24.779 --> 00:17:28.160 trust is finances for tuition fees. So that's 00:17:28.160 --> 00:17:30.140 why I'm going to use that example. It's not an 00:17:30.140 --> 00:17:31.759 insult or something. Well, you're trusting the 00:17:31.759 --> 00:17:34.000 Lord for finances, for tuition fees, and then 00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:36.740 you arrive Sunday morning to church, and then... 00:17:36.910 --> 00:17:40.150 The Spirit of the Lord, let... I just had now 00:17:40.150 --> 00:17:43.569 in my heart, right? I perceive now in my heart 00:17:43.569 --> 00:17:47.809 for somebody here. Learn to listen to the voice 00:17:47.809 --> 00:17:50.569 of the Holy Ghost much more when He directs you 00:17:50.569 --> 00:17:53.089 to the needs of your brothers. Pay attention 00:17:53.089 --> 00:17:56.180 because He will be showing you... Physical needs. 00:17:56.460 --> 00:17:59.059 For some of them is their shirts. For some of 00:17:59.059 --> 00:18:01.220 them is trousers. For some of them is shoes. 00:18:01.460 --> 00:18:04.279 For some of them is as basic as food to eat. 00:18:04.319 --> 00:18:06.420 They don't have. Pay attention to the leading 00:18:06.420 --> 00:18:08.839 of the Holy Spirit when he speaks to your heart 00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:12.359 to meet the what? To meet the needs. Praise God. 00:18:13.359 --> 00:18:16.079 Hallelujah. Because as I perceive more as I speak 00:18:16.079 --> 00:18:19.180 now, right? He's going to be increasing that 00:18:19.180 --> 00:18:23.339 leading much more in your heart. Every time you 00:18:23.339 --> 00:18:27.619 come around, fellow, brethren. He will be ensuring 00:18:27.619 --> 00:18:31.339 that your eyes are pointed to look out for the 00:18:31.339 --> 00:18:34.539 needs of the brethren that you're part of. Amen. 00:18:35.240 --> 00:18:37.900 Please pay attention. Praise God. So back to 00:18:37.900 --> 00:18:41.539 my example. So now it's a word for somebody. 00:18:41.700 --> 00:18:44.319 You're here. He has been putting it in your heart 00:18:44.319 --> 00:18:47.839 to reach out to meet the needs of people. Amen. 00:18:48.140 --> 00:18:51.140 Don't ignore it. Hallelujah. It happened to me 00:18:51.140 --> 00:18:53.500 sometime when I was in the university. I set 00:18:53.500 --> 00:18:55.220 out in my heart that I was going to be, I would 00:18:55.220 --> 00:18:58.799 start paying people's tuition fees and transport 00:18:58.799 --> 00:19:03.079 fare. Okay. Okay. Let me not say it. So transport 00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:07.539 fare. Amen. Hallelujah. Before I would see applicants. 00:19:09.140 --> 00:19:14.039 Soteria Bank and Customs Bank and all the banks, 00:19:14.180 --> 00:19:17.740 they are not yet dead. They are still, what do 00:19:17.740 --> 00:19:21.180 you call it, sir? There are no banks. They can 00:19:21.180 --> 00:19:25.599 only cater for only two people, a husband and 00:19:25.599 --> 00:19:27.640 wife. And it happens that the central executive 00:19:27.640 --> 00:19:31.319 officer and then the chief operations officer, 00:19:31.559 --> 00:19:33.940 they are only the people handling the system 00:19:33.940 --> 00:19:36.440 now. Amen? So now, this is what happens now. 00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:38.920 You arrive, okay, I set out that I was going 00:19:38.920 --> 00:19:42.599 to be doing that. But every time I get into, 00:19:42.720 --> 00:19:45.160 and you know, our church is somewhere and our 00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:47.890 school, he knows our school is somewhere. We 00:19:47.890 --> 00:19:52.849 are close to PZ. It's a long drive. So anytime 00:19:52.849 --> 00:19:56.170 I enter the bus, I will hear, I will see people 00:19:56.170 --> 00:19:59.329 that cannot pay this thing. But they've carried 00:19:59.329 --> 00:20:01.809 that initiative, having faith that when they 00:20:01.809 --> 00:20:05.410 get into bus, somebody will... You people, you 00:20:05.410 --> 00:20:08.210 are abroad. You don't exercise faith. I am in 00:20:08.210 --> 00:20:12.109 Nigeria. People live by... I know what I'm saying. 00:20:13.009 --> 00:20:15.890 So I will enter, sir. I will know somebody who's... 00:20:15.890 --> 00:20:19.960 You see? Please, can you just pay? I know church 00:20:19.960 --> 00:20:21.940 brethren, they will reduce their voice. Please, 00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:24.700 can you just pay my fares too? Somewhere I say, 00:20:24.759 --> 00:20:29.019 sorry, bro. You know, I'm not able to have sufficient. 00:20:29.400 --> 00:20:32.660 I lie, number one. Oh, I lied. Another time I 00:20:32.660 --> 00:20:36.980 will enter. I'll say, just ask. Or randomly pay 00:20:36.980 --> 00:20:39.779 people's fare inside the bus. I will be struggling 00:20:39.779 --> 00:20:44.019 with it. Until one day I got into that bus. Bro, 00:20:44.119 --> 00:20:46.980 I can't pull. He didn't think about it. And I 00:20:46.980 --> 00:20:48.539 realized, you know, from that day, I knew that 00:20:48.539 --> 00:20:51.200 he has been doing it. When we just enter, before 00:20:51.200 --> 00:20:53.359 everybody put hand inside pockets, you just talk 00:20:53.359 --> 00:20:56.700 to the conductor for everybody. I want to say, 00:20:56.720 --> 00:20:59.680 plus me. I said, no, no, no, no. You see, this 00:20:59.680 --> 00:21:01.920 thing there. In fact, let me show you my book. 00:21:01.980 --> 00:21:05.079 He told me, I even wrote it. See, he told me 00:21:05.079 --> 00:21:08.160 that I should start taking initiatives and then 00:21:08.160 --> 00:21:10.559 be conscious to pay some people's fare. Okay, 00:21:10.619 --> 00:21:12.380 what we'll do, we'll start sharing it. You see, 00:21:12.440 --> 00:21:14.819 from that day, because we attended a good church, 00:21:15.500 --> 00:21:18.819 And in that church, they taught us giving, giving, 00:21:19.019 --> 00:21:22.240 giving. However, they went a little bit extreme. 00:21:22.440 --> 00:21:24.559 They told us to carry one dollar and put inside 00:21:24.559 --> 00:21:27.859 our purse and be calling dollar every morning. 00:21:28.259 --> 00:21:31.599 That church, we call money, I used to share it 00:21:31.599 --> 00:21:33.740 with them. In that church, you hear us, they 00:21:33.740 --> 00:21:36.420 say it's time to call for money. Money, money, 00:21:37.140 --> 00:21:42.269 money. Money, in dollars, in pounds, in euros, 00:21:42.329 --> 00:21:45.369 from different locations, in truckloads, come 00:21:45.369 --> 00:21:49.849 to me now in the name of Jesus. You know, I saw 00:21:49.849 --> 00:21:52.569 the picture of the place some weeks or some months 00:21:52.569 --> 00:21:54.730 ago. Some of them are still there. And I have 00:21:54.730 --> 00:21:56.950 some privilege to have some information about 00:21:56.950 --> 00:21:58.930 some of them. They are still struggling so much. 00:21:59.069 --> 00:22:01.890 They love the Lord. They are believers, tongue 00:22:01.890 --> 00:22:05.569 -talking. They are doing a lot of exploits. Hear 00:22:05.569 --> 00:22:10.279 this. If you don't take initiative on your finances, 00:22:10.619 --> 00:22:14.440 you're going to be a poor, tongue -tucking, filled 00:22:14.440 --> 00:22:18.099 with the spirit of God believer. I mean legal. 00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:20.720 Don't go and do Yahoo. Don't do Yahoo. Don't 00:22:20.720 --> 00:22:23.200 sell your body. Don't give anything. There are 00:22:23.200 --> 00:22:26.859 legal ways to have finances. You may not be on 00:22:26.859 --> 00:22:29.660 Forbes list, but you will not beg for bread. 00:22:30.329 --> 00:22:32.849 You may not be on top list, but you will not 00:22:32.849 --> 00:22:35.130 be around walking naked. Do you hear what I said? 00:22:35.349 --> 00:22:37.589 Be hard working. If you can't use your brain, 00:22:37.710 --> 00:22:42.009 use your hands. That's a word for somebody. So 00:22:42.009 --> 00:22:44.569 take initiative. I got here because I was saying, 00:22:44.650 --> 00:22:48.690 take initiative. Be conscious. As the Spirit 00:22:48.690 --> 00:22:51.049 of God leads you to solve people's needs, right? 00:22:51.490 --> 00:22:55.410 Do it. Hallelujah. Praise God. You understand 00:22:55.410 --> 00:22:57.089 because we are reading some scriptures about 00:22:57.089 --> 00:22:59.779 that. Okay, that's why the Holy Ghost even led 00:22:59.779 --> 00:23:02.720 me here. Amen? Say, I'm filled with the Spirit 00:23:02.720 --> 00:23:05.900 of God. So being filled with the Spirit of God 00:23:05.900 --> 00:23:08.599 is a function of your choice. Say, it's a function 00:23:08.599 --> 00:23:11.680 of my choice. Being filled with the Spirit of 00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:14.859 God is a function of my choice. Yes, it's a function 00:23:14.859 --> 00:23:17.259 of your choice. Yes, it's a function of what? 00:23:17.420 --> 00:23:20.059 We saw it in Acts chapter 2 verse 4. They were 00:23:20.059 --> 00:23:21.359 filled with the Spirit of God. The Spirit of 00:23:21.359 --> 00:23:23.759 God gave them ultras and they made a choice to 00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:28.089 do what? To speak. Amen? Acts chapter 4 verse 00:23:28.089 --> 00:23:31.809 8. Acts chapter 4 verse 8. It's a function of 00:23:31.809 --> 00:23:33.869 your choice. It's a function of your choice. 00:23:34.069 --> 00:23:37.269 Acts chapter 4 verse 8. Very fast. Then Peter 00:23:37.269 --> 00:23:41.289 filled with what? Acts 4 verse 8. Acts chapter 00:23:41.289 --> 00:23:44.529 4 verse 8. Then Peter, everybody, filled with 00:23:44.529 --> 00:23:48.369 what? With the Holy Ghost. And he what? He was 00:23:48.369 --> 00:23:49.630 filled with the Holy Ghost. What's the next thing 00:23:49.630 --> 00:24:11.859 he did? He what? He said to them. He spoke. You 00:24:11.859 --> 00:24:16.259 guys are not fast in opening your Bible. It shows 00:24:16.259 --> 00:24:18.380 that you don't read your Bible at home. Yes. 00:24:19.509 --> 00:24:22.750 Acts is not after Malachi. You know, I sat down 00:24:22.750 --> 00:24:24.269 beside somebody in this church. I won't show 00:24:24.269 --> 00:24:27.170 the location. They said, let's open to Acts. 00:24:27.730 --> 00:24:32.089 A full grown woman. She went to the front content 00:24:32.089 --> 00:24:35.670 and check for the number of the page. And check 00:24:35.670 --> 00:24:40.150 Acts. Acts. Acts. Page 941. Somebody say Jesus. 00:24:40.269 --> 00:24:42.109 It's true. 900. But she's not coming to church 00:24:42.109 --> 00:24:45.170 now. She opened to 941 and said she found Acts. 00:24:46.569 --> 00:24:49.799 Exploit. At the back. I asked exploit. Open to 00:24:49.799 --> 00:24:52.759 Zechariah. She opened it. Open to Zephaniah. 00:24:53.140 --> 00:24:56.059 She opened to Haggai. She opened it. Exploit. 00:24:56.500 --> 00:24:58.599 I'm not saying today, oh, she's more wiser now. 00:24:58.920 --> 00:25:02.160 It was last year. I said, oh. But even at this 00:25:02.160 --> 00:25:04.039 age, okay, we're in Sunday school trying to do 00:25:04.039 --> 00:25:06.400 Sunday school competition. Bible open. She could 00:25:06.400 --> 00:25:09.079 not. It just shows that you're not reading your 00:25:09.079 --> 00:25:11.119 Bible. People that are filled with the Spirit 00:25:11.119 --> 00:25:13.519 of God are always close to God's Word. You know 00:25:13.519 --> 00:25:15.859 what I said? They are always close to what? Yes. 00:25:16.680 --> 00:25:21.839 Say today. And always, I will always be close 00:25:21.839 --> 00:25:25.720 to my Bible. I will open it and I will read it 00:25:25.720 --> 00:25:28.720 and I will study it. Somebody say he's attacking 00:25:28.720 --> 00:25:31.619 me. I attack you. If you fail to attack men, 00:25:31.819 --> 00:25:33.640 I will attack you again. You can't be in this 00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:36.599 church and be opening to page, page, contento, 00:25:36.599 --> 00:25:39.259 content, sir. I will tell you, I will tell you 00:25:39.259 --> 00:25:43.559 people, the lady. Yes, I will. This is what we 00:25:43.559 --> 00:25:48.730 do. We label over your soul. Definitely we can't 00:25:48.730 --> 00:25:50.569 leave this job. You have to leave this church. 00:25:50.769 --> 00:25:53.069 That's just it. Because we know in every church 00:25:53.069 --> 00:25:55.069 there are stubborn people. They never leave. 00:25:55.210 --> 00:25:57.150 They're in every church. No matter how tongue 00:25:57.150 --> 00:26:00.150 speaking and spirit filled the churches is or 00:26:00.150 --> 00:26:03.130 the churches are, you'll find one stubborn person 00:26:03.130 --> 00:26:06.210 there. He's always everywhere. And the pastors 00:26:06.210 --> 00:26:08.450 are patient with them. We'll be patient with 00:26:08.450 --> 00:26:11.490 you. Amen? Why is he talking like that? Yeah, 00:26:11.529 --> 00:26:14.710 because I have to talk to you. Acts chapter 6 00:26:14.710 --> 00:26:17.470 verse 3. See what the scripture says. Wherefore 00:26:17.470 --> 00:26:19.130 brethren, look ye out among you. How many men? 00:26:19.329 --> 00:26:23.970 Look ye among you. How many men? In any CF, look 00:26:23.970 --> 00:26:28.910 ye out among you. How many men? Seven men of 00:26:28.910 --> 00:26:32.849 what? Honest report. So which means these men 00:26:32.849 --> 00:26:37.190 must be known within the brethren. Right? When 00:26:37.190 --> 00:26:39.730 we say honest men, what do we mean? When we say 00:26:39.730 --> 00:26:42.190 honest men, what do we mean? It means that these 00:26:42.190 --> 00:26:45.009 people are known everywhere. Their life is not 00:26:45.009 --> 00:26:48.759 hidden. They know them among the multitudes. 00:26:49.220 --> 00:26:52.099 In fact, the scripture says that they grew from 00:26:52.099 --> 00:26:55.180 120 to 3 ,000, 3 ,000 to 5 ,000, from 5 ,000 00:26:55.180 --> 00:26:57.619 to multitude. Multitude, which means we could 00:26:57.619 --> 00:27:00.880 not what? We cannot count them. But among the 00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:03.680 number that they cannot count them, they still 00:27:03.680 --> 00:27:06.599 know that there are people that are what? Having 00:27:06.599 --> 00:27:10.740 honest what? Report. Question to you. Can we 00:27:10.740 --> 00:27:15.089 say you have a honest report? One. Two. These 00:27:15.089 --> 00:27:18.509 men should be what? Full of what? The Holy Ghost 00:27:18.509 --> 00:27:23.750 and whom we may appoint over what? So which means 00:27:23.750 --> 00:27:27.109 that these people being filled with the Spirit 00:27:27.109 --> 00:27:29.789 of God, they were not hidden. Probably, I just 00:27:29.789 --> 00:27:32.349 imagine now because they chose Stephen, verse 00:27:32.349 --> 00:27:35.450 5. They chose Stephen. They chose Philip. They 00:27:35.450 --> 00:27:38.009 chose Prochorus. They chose Nicanon. They chose 00:27:38.009 --> 00:27:40.529 Timon. They chose Parmenas. They chose what? 00:27:40.950 --> 00:27:44.130 Nicholas. I just imagine now among them, right? 00:27:44.640 --> 00:27:46.619 That they just saw Stephen one of these days, 00:27:46.660 --> 00:27:49.079 you know, giving a word of prophecy, you know, 00:27:49.079 --> 00:27:52.019 and then going around because it shows, because 00:27:52.019 --> 00:27:54.940 in the next verse he did that. They know that 00:27:54.940 --> 00:27:57.380 Stephen was not only full of faith and full of 00:27:57.380 --> 00:27:59.759 the Holy Ghost, he was just one of those evenings 00:27:59.759 --> 00:28:06.700 you see in one corner. And his character and 00:28:06.700 --> 00:28:10.420 conduct within the multitude was always commendable. 00:28:10.779 --> 00:28:13.599 Oh, they see Parmenas and Timon. You know, they 00:28:13.599 --> 00:28:20.460 are just moving. They say, I think today we need 00:28:20.460 --> 00:28:23.420 to go to, let's go to Gilne for evangelizing. 00:28:23.599 --> 00:28:26.359 Because we saw Philip. Philip did that in Acts 00:28:26.359 --> 00:28:30.299 chapter 8. Him alone. Nobody pushed them. Nobody 00:28:30.299 --> 00:28:33.720 told them to go and do it. They left on their 00:28:33.720 --> 00:28:37.980 own choice. And they took a city. Hallelujah. 00:28:38.829 --> 00:28:44.869 Oh, a man filled with the Spirit of God is limitless. 00:28:45.230 --> 00:28:49.630 What you will do for Jesus is limitless. The 00:28:49.630 --> 00:28:53.849 power of God through you is limitless. Let me 00:28:53.849 --> 00:28:56.650 say that it's coming to my heart. A man that 00:28:56.650 --> 00:29:00.130 is filled with the Spirit of God can take a city. 00:29:00.630 --> 00:29:05.049 Don't underestimate yourself. Don't despise your 00:29:05.049 --> 00:29:09.559 youth. So it's your choice. For the responsibility 00:29:09.559 --> 00:29:13.400 to be stirred and flow in the things of the Spirit 00:29:13.400 --> 00:29:15.640 is in the hands of the believer. Hallelujah. 00:29:16.539 --> 00:29:20.559 The responsibility to be stirred up and to flow 00:29:20.559 --> 00:29:24.279 in the things of the Spirit is where? It's in 00:29:24.279 --> 00:29:27.079 the hands of who? The believer. It's in your 00:29:27.079 --> 00:29:32.480 hands. Hallelujah. The choice is yours. The Holy 00:29:32.480 --> 00:29:35.819 Ghost is in you and all the gifts of the Holy 00:29:35.819 --> 00:29:39.259 Ghost is also where? In you. Praise God. See, 00:29:39.319 --> 00:29:42.200 the Holy Ghost is in me. And all the gifts of 00:29:42.200 --> 00:29:46.380 the Holy Ghost is also in me. Hallelujah. Write 00:29:46.380 --> 00:29:49.579 this title somewhere. All believers have all 00:29:49.579 --> 00:29:51.759 the gifts of the Spirit and shall manifest and 00:29:51.759 --> 00:29:55.819 demonstrate them all. All believers have all 00:29:55.819 --> 00:29:59.769 the gifts of the Holy Ghost. and should manifest 00:29:59.769 --> 00:30:04.369 and demonstrate all of them. All believers have 00:30:04.369 --> 00:30:07.690 all the gifts of the Holy Ghost and should manifest 00:30:07.690 --> 00:30:11.990 and demonstrate all of them. Why should they 00:30:11.990 --> 00:30:14.990 manifest? And why should they demonstrate it 00:30:14.990 --> 00:30:20.369 like this? To profit everyone. Hallelujah. To 00:30:20.369 --> 00:30:24.329 do what? To profit what? Everyone. Why should 00:30:24.329 --> 00:30:28.740 you speak? To profit what? Everyone. Why should 00:30:28.740 --> 00:30:31.859 you prophesy? To do what? Profit what? Everyone. 00:30:32.079 --> 00:30:34.460 Why should you lay hands on the sick so that 00:30:34.460 --> 00:30:36.859 the sick will get healed? To do what? To profit 00:30:36.859 --> 00:30:40.599 everyone. Oh, say it. I am a huge benefit to 00:30:40.599 --> 00:30:44.380 the body of Christ. I am a huge benefit. Oh, 00:30:44.539 --> 00:30:47.299 to my brothers and sisters. Say, I only bring 00:30:47.299 --> 00:30:53.359 benefit to everyone I need. Hallelujah. Yes. 00:30:53.839 --> 00:30:57.490 The word manifestation, right? It is. In Greek, 00:30:57.509 --> 00:31:00.630 what is phanerosis? The word manifestation is 00:31:00.630 --> 00:31:06.170 phanerosis. P -H -A -N -E -R -O -S -I -S. Phanerosis. 00:31:06.670 --> 00:31:09.750 The word manifestation means what? Phanerosis. 00:31:10.089 --> 00:31:17.829 Phanerosis. P -H -A -N -E -R -O -S -I -S. S -I 00:31:17.829 --> 00:31:21.990 -S. S -I -S. P -H -A -N -E -R -O -S -I -S. It 00:31:21.990 --> 00:31:27.430 means to make bear. To reveal plainly. To not 00:31:27.430 --> 00:31:31.210 to hide. Not to hide. It means to make bare. 00:31:32.210 --> 00:31:35.910 To reveal plainly. Not to what? Not to what? 00:31:35.970 --> 00:31:41.049 Not to hide. Hallelujah. Manifestation. So which 00:31:41.049 --> 00:31:45.049 means that I have the Spirit of God. All the 00:31:45.049 --> 00:31:48.069 things of the Spirit are where? Are in me. All 00:31:48.069 --> 00:31:50.410 the gifts of the Holy Ghost are where? Are in 00:31:50.410 --> 00:31:54.359 me. But I need to do what? Manifest them. When 00:31:54.359 --> 00:31:57.559 we say we are making things bare, it means that 00:31:57.559 --> 00:32:02.359 the two natural, plain, physical eyes can do 00:32:02.359 --> 00:32:05.779 what? Can see them. The five senses can perceive 00:32:05.779 --> 00:32:09.559 them. Write it down. When I manifest the gifts 00:32:09.559 --> 00:32:13.039 of the Holy Ghost, the five senses can be able 00:32:13.039 --> 00:32:17.839 to perceive it. Hallelujah. Praise God. That 00:32:17.839 --> 00:32:21.559 word, phanerosis, was gotten from a root word, 00:32:21.680 --> 00:32:26.259 faneru. And faneru means to make visible what 00:32:26.259 --> 00:32:31.019 has been hidden, whether by words or deeds, in 00:32:31.019 --> 00:32:34.859 any other way. Hallelujah. Faneru means what? 00:32:34.980 --> 00:32:38.359 To make visible what has been hidden, whether 00:32:38.359 --> 00:32:43.640 by words or deeds, in any other way. To meet 00:32:43.640 --> 00:32:49.380 the eyes. Faneru. To meet the eyes. To shine, 00:32:49.680 --> 00:32:53.400 to display. When we read that 1 Corinthians 12, 00:32:54.180 --> 00:32:57.799 verse 7, everybody. 1 Corinthians 12, verse 7. 00:32:58.019 --> 00:33:01.460 1 Corinthians 12, verse 7. 1 Corinthians 12, 00:33:01.740 --> 00:33:04.380 verse 7. See what the scripture says there, everybody. 00:33:05.380 --> 00:33:08.359 But the what? 1 Corinthians 12, verse 7. But 00:33:08.359 --> 00:33:14.380 the manifestation of what? Is given to how many 00:33:14.380 --> 00:33:19.529 men? To do what? To profit what? So which means 00:33:19.529 --> 00:33:24.849 that no believer is supposed to stay hidden when 00:33:24.849 --> 00:33:27.250 it comes to the things of the Spirit. Hallelujah. 00:33:27.730 --> 00:33:30.710 No believer is what? Is supposed to stay what? 00:33:31.150 --> 00:33:35.690 Hidden. The more you hide the gifts of the Holy 00:33:35.690 --> 00:33:39.799 Ghost. You are not bringing profits to the body. 00:33:39.920 --> 00:33:42.859 The more you hide the things of the spirit, you 00:33:42.859 --> 00:33:47.299 are not becoming beneficial or you are not being 00:33:47.299 --> 00:33:50.480 beneficial to your brother. So what is my position 00:33:50.480 --> 00:33:53.079 as a believer that is filled with the spirit 00:33:53.079 --> 00:33:55.640 of God? That I do what? I manifest. Hallelujah. 00:33:55.940 --> 00:33:59.460 Say I manifest. Daily I manifest. I manifest 00:33:59.460 --> 00:34:02.619 what? All the things of the spirit that are where? 00:34:02.740 --> 00:34:05.950 That are locked up from where? Within me. Praise 00:34:05.950 --> 00:34:16.889 God. Hallelujah. Verse 11. Verse 11 says, That 00:34:16.889 --> 00:34:26.550 word there is Hekastos. Hekastos means to each 00:34:26.550 --> 00:34:31.590 one. Hekastos. H -E -K -A -S -T -O -S. Hekastos. 00:34:32.710 --> 00:34:37.090 To each man, to every man, and that what every 00:34:37.090 --> 00:34:40.909 man, whether woman or what? Or man. Hallelujah. 00:34:41.590 --> 00:34:46.030 Hekastos. H -E -K -A -S -T -O -S. But he say 00:34:46.030 --> 00:34:49.269 he divides to every man severally. As he what? 00:34:49.650 --> 00:34:54.369 As he will. That as he will is not the will of 00:34:54.369 --> 00:34:58.050 the Holy Ghost. Now is the will of the man that 00:34:58.050 --> 00:35:01.639 has received. Hallelujah. Now, let's read it 00:35:01.639 --> 00:35:03.760 carefully this way. Everybody, can we read together? 00:35:04.059 --> 00:35:26.119 Verse 11. Hallelujah. As what? As He will. Who 00:35:26.119 --> 00:35:28.360 is the receiver?
