WEBVTT 00:00:01.380 --> 00:00:06.639 Welcome to NECF Sermons. Each message here is 00:00:06.639 --> 00:00:09.640 designed to uplift and strengthen you in your 00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:13.939 walk with God. Don't miss out. Stay with us until 00:00:13.939 --> 00:00:17.879 the end for a rewarding experience. Let's dive 00:00:17.879 --> 00:00:22.679 right in. Can you just be praying under your 00:00:22.679 --> 00:00:25.219 breath in the Holy Ghost? So this is an instruction. 00:00:25.420 --> 00:00:27.199 Can you just be praying under your breath in 00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:29.800 the Holy Ghost? As you listen to me, likewise 00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:32.740 be praying. Under your breath in the Holy Ghost. 00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:52.500 I know that song was for many here. Including 00:00:52.500 --> 00:00:55.960 myself. Hallelujah. That song including myself. 00:01:00.590 --> 00:01:04.189 I won't stop trusting the lover of my soul. I 00:01:04.189 --> 00:01:08.790 will not. He has proved himself over and over 00:01:08.790 --> 00:01:15.469 and over again. I won't stop trusting the lover 00:01:15.469 --> 00:01:21.269 of my soul. Whatever I lacked, he has made me 00:01:21.269 --> 00:01:25.650 full of it. When I'm doubting, he has assured 00:01:25.650 --> 00:01:31.680 me 10 ,000 times. In the storms he has led me, 00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:35.579 calmly in the midst of it. Nothing will stop 00:01:35.579 --> 00:01:38.799 me from trusting the lover of my soul. Hallelujah. 00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:46.219 Praise God. Hallelujah. So there's a word here 00:01:46.219 --> 00:01:47.939 during the prayers that we got, and the words 00:01:47.939 --> 00:01:53.540 is, Karatismos will be glorious. Hallelujah. 00:01:54.140 --> 00:01:58.480 The word says Karatismos will be glorious. Prepare 00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:03.060 and plan to participate in every session. Men 00:02:03.060 --> 00:02:06.859 will be built and clarity will come. Hallelujah. 00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:09.439 And then the last word here says also desire 00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:13.379 supernatural experiences much more. Hallelujah. 00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:15.939 Can you say I have supernatural experiences? 00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:20.620 I see supernatural experiences by the ability 00:02:20.620 --> 00:02:24.819 of the Holy Ghost through my life and in my life. 00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:28.550 Hallelujah. You see, the Holy Ghost has been 00:02:28.550 --> 00:02:31.270 given to us by God not to be a dormant spirit. 00:02:32.729 --> 00:02:36.169 Hallelujah. We heard last week, the Holy Ghost 00:02:36.169 --> 00:02:39.069 has been given to us. He's an active spirit. 00:02:39.189 --> 00:02:42.909 Praise God. He's living and he's active and he's 00:02:42.909 --> 00:02:47.250 dwelling in the believer. Praise God. So the 00:02:47.250 --> 00:02:52.610 believer, having the Holy Ghost in himself or 00:02:52.610 --> 00:02:56.830 within himself or in his life, daily ought to 00:02:56.830 --> 00:03:02.909 be seen his walkings. That's why when you read 00:03:02.909 --> 00:03:05.270 Galatians, it says walk in the Spirit. Hallelujah. 00:03:06.509 --> 00:03:08.990 Where we read last week in Romans chapter 8, 00:03:09.090 --> 00:03:12.050 it says the Spirit of God dwells in your inside. 00:03:13.650 --> 00:03:20.590 So mind the things of the Spirit. So we'll continue 00:03:20.590 --> 00:03:23.289 from where we stopped, but in a different form 00:03:23.289 --> 00:03:26.469 this morning. Amen. However, I'll give us some 00:03:26.469 --> 00:03:27.909 notes. We're going to just highlight it somewhere 00:03:27.909 --> 00:03:29.889 because we're going to come back to it. Praise 00:03:29.889 --> 00:03:32.889 God. Hallelujah. We're going to come back to 00:03:32.889 --> 00:03:37.710 it. Amen. So the topic we've been handling throughout 00:03:37.710 --> 00:03:42.090 this season is Holy Ghost what? Holy Ghost meetings. 00:03:42.289 --> 00:03:45.610 Hallelujah. Praise God. Holy Ghost meetings. 00:03:45.710 --> 00:03:47.789 Why Holy Ghost meetings? Because Holy Ghost meetings 00:03:47.789 --> 00:03:50.469 or believers meetings are for believers. Amen. 00:03:50.909 --> 00:03:53.710 And then we heard last week that we are spiritual. 00:03:53.870 --> 00:03:56.960 Amen. And what has qualified us to be spiritual? 00:03:57.199 --> 00:03:59.979 Because we have the spirit of God where? In our 00:03:59.979 --> 00:04:03.960 inside. How did we get the spirit of God? Let's 00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:06.699 echo it. How did we get the spirit of God? At 00:04:06.699 --> 00:04:15.699 salvation. Salvation how? By what? Yes. So we 00:04:15.699 --> 00:04:19.860 had the gospel of Jesus Christ. We believe with 00:04:19.860 --> 00:04:21.680 our heart that God has raised him from the dead. 00:04:21.819 --> 00:04:25.699 And we confess the Lord Jesus. We got saved. 00:04:25.939 --> 00:04:29.480 So at salvation, we first had an encounter with 00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:31.759 the Holy Ghost there. Amen. So what happened 00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:35.240 at salvation is that Jesus released his spirit 00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:38.300 to dwell in our inside. Hallelujah. You see, 00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:41.000 from that day onward, what has happened to you 00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:43.560 is that you got a new nature in Christ Jesus. 00:04:45.860 --> 00:04:49.949 You don't have a nature issue. Amen. What is 00:04:49.949 --> 00:04:53.269 disturbing you is not a nature issue, as it were, 00:04:53.389 --> 00:04:55.689 because already your nature has been transformed. 00:04:55.769 --> 00:04:57.649 You're in Christ Jesus. I'm not talking about 00:04:57.649 --> 00:05:07.209 now your body. Hallelujah. Praise God. So you 00:05:07.209 --> 00:05:09.649 have the Spirit of God. We read it in 2 Corinthians 00:05:09.649 --> 00:05:12.170 5. For if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. 00:05:12.449 --> 00:05:14.310 All things are passed away, and behold what? 00:05:14.649 --> 00:05:18.850 All things are become new. So you see, the Holy 00:05:18.850 --> 00:05:22.149 Ghost in the believer is not passive, it's active. 00:05:23.209 --> 00:05:25.889 Do you hear what I said? The Holy Ghost inside 00:05:25.889 --> 00:05:30.269 you is not what? Passive is what? It's active. 00:05:35.009 --> 00:05:38.009 And you understand a little bit why I mention 00:05:38.009 --> 00:05:45.329 this. You don't yield to passive things. You 00:05:45.329 --> 00:05:48.699 yield to active things. You see, everybody, even 00:05:48.699 --> 00:05:50.420 in the natural, you would love to associate yourself 00:05:50.420 --> 00:05:53.439 with things that are working. Is it not? When 00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:56.300 you try things, one, two, three, four, five, 00:05:56.379 --> 00:05:58.819 and they are not working, right? Do you want 00:05:58.819 --> 00:06:02.019 to associate yourself with them? No. So two things 00:06:02.019 --> 00:06:04.459 are there. It's either the things in themselves 00:06:04.459 --> 00:06:07.319 are not working or you don't understand how they 00:06:07.319 --> 00:06:13.939 work. And so you will buy a device and then the 00:06:13.939 --> 00:06:16.019 manufacturer will put a manual inside, right? 00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:19.899 But in Africa, we don't care about manual. Right? 00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:22.660 Yeah, so everybody on the streets just believes 00:06:22.660 --> 00:06:24.439 that when he sees the on button, he switches 00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:27.160 it on, he just knows how the thing functions. 00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:32.319 But you see there, he will put the manual, he 00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:34.259 will put the instructions. In fact, they've even 00:06:34.259 --> 00:06:36.300 helped us, they will draw diagrams, they will 00:06:36.300 --> 00:06:38.420 show you how to put the battery, they will show 00:06:38.420 --> 00:06:41.379 you everything. You see, all those things are 00:06:41.379 --> 00:06:45.459 in a bit so that you will enjoy the device. Hallelujah. 00:06:46.159 --> 00:06:48.740 And you see, the manufacturer didn't leave you 00:06:48.740 --> 00:06:53.100 ignorant of how to use the device. You see, what 00:06:53.100 --> 00:06:56.180 God had done for the believer is that God had 00:06:56.180 --> 00:06:59.459 put his spirit in the believer so that the believer 00:06:59.459 --> 00:07:01.980 is not ignorant of his identity in Christ Jesus. 00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:07.399 So the Holy Ghost inside you will keep walking. 00:07:07.819 --> 00:07:10.660 will keep walking, will keep speaking, will keep 00:07:10.660 --> 00:07:13.139 giving you promptings, will keep instructing 00:07:13.139 --> 00:07:16.259 until you come to a place of maturity where you 00:07:16.259 --> 00:07:21.519 understand and continue or begin to yield. So 00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:26.060 your maturity in Christ Jesus is as a result 00:07:26.060 --> 00:07:30.420 of your yieldedness and participation. Do you 00:07:30.420 --> 00:07:32.970 hear what I said? Your maturity in the things 00:07:32.970 --> 00:07:35.430 of God, in the things of the Spirit, is as a 00:07:35.430 --> 00:07:37.790 result of what? Your yieldedness and your what? 00:07:38.730 --> 00:07:44.649 Participation in the things of the Spirit. On 00:07:44.649 --> 00:07:46.990 Wednesday we had in the teaching, that while 00:07:46.990 --> 00:07:48.550 we are discussing or having these teachings, 00:07:48.769 --> 00:07:51.610 is so that we know how we ought to behave ourselves 00:07:51.610 --> 00:07:54.769 in the church, in a gathering, in a meeting. 00:07:59.160 --> 00:08:02.040 Nothing grows the believer like teaching of God's 00:08:02.040 --> 00:08:07.720 word. If you want to grow, if you want to grow, 00:08:07.939 --> 00:08:12.500 if you want to grow, you need teaching of God's 00:08:12.500 --> 00:08:17.519 word. Your mind cannot be transformed beyond 00:08:17.519 --> 00:08:24.120 how you expose yourself to God's word. Yes. You 00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:27.980 strive for mastery, you want to mature. and measure 00:08:27.980 --> 00:08:30.360 up to the full stature of Christ, then yield 00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:32.919 yourself to what? To the teaching of God's word. 00:08:33.580 --> 00:08:36.779 Beloved, I will not have you what? Ignorant. 00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:38.899 And that is why I'm informing you this morning 00:08:38.899 --> 00:08:42.539 that your growth is directly proportional to 00:08:42.539 --> 00:08:51.200 your participation in teaching meetings. Teaching 00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:53.720 meetings will grow you as a believer. Teaching 00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:56.500 meetings will deepen. your relationship and commitment 00:08:56.500 --> 00:09:01.500 to Jesus, teaching meetings automatically read 00:09:01.500 --> 00:09:08.159 you of flesh. The workings of flesh. It reads 00:09:08.159 --> 00:09:11.559 you of it. Because what? Your identity every 00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:14.580 day is before you. Every day your identity is 00:09:14.580 --> 00:09:17.100 before you. Every day. Why do you think you will 00:09:17.100 --> 00:09:19.659 pay tuition fees? And the lecturers would get 00:09:19.659 --> 00:09:23.059 into your class every day of the week. And at 00:09:23.059 --> 00:09:26.139 the end of four years, you come out, you are 00:09:26.139 --> 00:09:30.919 so convinced that you're a medical doctor. Did 00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:33.580 they come and manipulate your mind? Did they 00:09:33.580 --> 00:09:35.019 come and tell you that you're a medical doctor 00:09:35.019 --> 00:09:38.340 by words? What did they do? They exposed you 00:09:38.340 --> 00:09:45.289 to an ideology. So what God has provided for 00:09:45.289 --> 00:09:48.669 the believer's growth is to expose us to the 00:09:48.669 --> 00:09:54.009 ideology of Christ. Not the philosophies around. 00:09:54.210 --> 00:10:00.429 No. And that ideology is called the gospel. And 00:10:00.429 --> 00:10:04.350 that gospel is a strategic, specific doctrine 00:10:04.350 --> 00:10:09.309 about Christ. It's not money. It's not fame. 00:10:11.070 --> 00:10:13.169 If you want to have money, go to Harvard Business 00:10:13.169 --> 00:10:18.110 School. You're going to be taught how to establish 00:10:18.110 --> 00:10:22.470 organizations and ETC. But you see, if truly 00:10:22.470 --> 00:10:24.610 you want to grow and be effective as a believer, 00:10:24.769 --> 00:10:27.850 then you have to what? Find yourself in a local 00:10:27.850 --> 00:10:30.330 church. Someone says, sir, I don't know the local 00:10:30.330 --> 00:10:32.509 church you belong to. How can I know the local 00:10:32.509 --> 00:10:34.190 church? I say the scripture has already answered 00:10:34.190 --> 00:10:37.629 it. And that is why we are here. Praise God. 00:10:38.289 --> 00:10:43.159 Hallelujah. So teaching will grow you, will deepen 00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:47.860 your relationship with Christ. Teaching, nothing 00:10:47.860 --> 00:10:53.960 more. So let me say a few points here, added 00:10:53.960 --> 00:10:56.659 to teaching meetings, and then we get into what 00:10:56.659 --> 00:11:09.980 we have. Acts 2, verse 44, everybody. Acts chapter 00:11:09.980 --> 00:11:25.259 2 verse 42. Acts chapter 2 verse 44. See what 00:11:25.259 --> 00:11:27.620 the scripture says. And all that believed were 00:11:27.620 --> 00:11:30.779 together and all had things in common. Right? 00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:35.720 And sold their possessions and goods and parted 00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:38.269 them to all men as every man had need. And they 00:11:38.269 --> 00:11:40.289 continued daily with one accord in the temple 00:11:40.289 --> 00:11:42.450 and breaking bread from house to house, did eat 00:11:42.450 --> 00:11:44.730 their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, 00:11:44.750 --> 00:11:46.470 praising God and having favor with all the people. 00:11:46.590 --> 00:11:48.990 And the Lord added to the church daily as what? 00:11:49.490 --> 00:11:53.289 As should be what? Saved. 42. Go to 42, everybody. 00:11:53.590 --> 00:11:58.750 And they continued what? Is it once a week? Is 00:11:58.750 --> 00:12:02.509 it two hours a day? How did they continue? They 00:12:02.509 --> 00:12:05.029 continued steadfastly in what? The apostles' 00:12:05.289 --> 00:12:07.309 doctrine and fellowship and in breaking bread 00:12:07.309 --> 00:12:09.909 and in what? And in prayer. See Acts chapter 00:12:09.909 --> 00:12:19.149 4 verse 4 now, everybody. How be it many of them 00:12:19.149 --> 00:12:23.669 which heard the what? Heard the what? The word. 00:12:23.730 --> 00:12:25.950 So the word was taught. The word was preached. 00:12:26.250 --> 00:12:27.990 That is the only way that they must have heard 00:12:27.990 --> 00:12:31.429 about it, right? Good. So, and many of them that 00:12:31.429 --> 00:12:34.690 heard the word did what? believed, and the number 00:12:34.690 --> 00:12:39.929 of men was about what? 5 ,000. Amen? Acts chapter 00:12:39.929 --> 00:12:45.110 5, verse 12 to 14. You see, the hearing of the 00:12:45.110 --> 00:12:47.649 word brings about increase and multiplication. 00:12:48.169 --> 00:13:03.000 Amen? Acts chapter 5, verse 12 to 14. Join himself 00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:06.419 to them. But the people did what? Magnified them. 00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:10.440 And believers were the more added to the Lord. 00:13:11.179 --> 00:13:16.320 Multitudes. Both of what? Men and what? And women. 00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:21.580 Hallelujah. So we saw them as believers. They 00:13:21.580 --> 00:13:23.840 got into Christ. They were addressed as believers. 00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:26.899 Right? All the places that we read, they were 00:13:26.899 --> 00:13:29.679 all addressed as what? Believers. Believers. 00:13:29.899 --> 00:13:32.649 Believers. Believers. Believers. Right? They 00:13:32.649 --> 00:13:35.129 had the words, they got saved, and they are now 00:13:35.129 --> 00:13:37.909 what? Believers. Amen? So, but now let's go to 00:13:37.909 --> 00:13:43.809 Acts chapter 6. Let's go to Acts chapter 6. Acts 00:13:43.809 --> 00:13:46.730 chapter 6 verse 1. See now from believers what 00:13:46.730 --> 00:13:48.610 is already happening now to them. Acts chapter 00:13:48.610 --> 00:13:52.090 6 verse 1. And in those days, when the number 00:13:52.090 --> 00:13:57.309 of the what? When the number of the... When the 00:13:57.309 --> 00:14:01.539 number of the... When the number of the... Who 00:14:01.539 --> 00:14:06.919 is a disciple? Come on now. Who is a disciple? 00:14:07.539 --> 00:14:09.519 Okay, if you're in training center, who is a 00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:14.279 disciple? Pastor Victor, they are not answering. 00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:21.200 Who is a disciple? Come on now. Who is a disciple? 00:14:21.879 --> 00:14:28.259 Okay, you. Okay, but you is a big answer. Who 00:14:28.259 --> 00:14:31.720 is a disciple? Okay, a believer is still a big 00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:36.379 answer. Who is a disciple? A follower is still 00:14:36.379 --> 00:14:40.559 a big answer. Break it down. Who is a disciple? 00:14:42.279 --> 00:14:52.539 Someone who is going under training. I have marked 00:14:52.539 --> 00:14:58.740 your face. Someone who is undergoing what? Training. 00:15:01.899 --> 00:15:05.899 Every believer that God saved or that God saved 00:15:05.899 --> 00:15:09.299 should not be left hanging in the air. He must 00:15:09.299 --> 00:15:15.399 be trained. Hallelujah. There were Thomas believers. 00:15:15.799 --> 00:15:17.960 They had the word. The number of the believers 00:15:17.960 --> 00:15:20.480 increased. It increased. But as we got into chapter 00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:24.419 6, what has happened what? Disciples. We now 00:15:24.419 --> 00:15:26.860 see Philip among them. We now see Stephen among 00:15:26.860 --> 00:15:35.110 them. Disciples. Every believer in the local 00:15:35.110 --> 00:15:53.169 church must be a disciple. Non -negotiable. That's 00:15:53.169 --> 00:16:04.340 why you're not growing. You see, in the program 00:16:04.340 --> 00:16:08.860 of God, you don't choose who discipled you. That 00:16:08.860 --> 00:16:11.080 is why when you read Ephesians, it says that 00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:14.559 he is the one that gives the gifts. He gave the 00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:17.580 apostles. He gave the teachers. He gave, okay, 00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:19.600 all of them are teachers. He gave the evangelists. 00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:22.200 He gave the prophets. He gave the pastors. Did 00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:27.460 you choose them? You don't. See, you know, me, 00:16:27.559 --> 00:16:31.210 I like, I like Pastor Shoko Bleke. Anytime he 00:16:31.210 --> 00:16:34.129 is teaching, he injures me. It's just because 00:16:34.129 --> 00:16:42.330 you are ignorant. Every time Pastor Munene, he 00:16:42.330 --> 00:16:45.889 teaches, I know he is attacking me. It's me. 00:16:46.009 --> 00:16:48.250 It's my... Because even the way he is looking 00:16:48.250 --> 00:16:50.769 at my direction, who are you in that? Who are 00:16:50.769 --> 00:16:57.909 you? If you feel he is talking to you, then yes, 00:16:57.990 --> 00:17:05.950 he is addressing you. So you got saved by hearing 00:17:05.950 --> 00:17:08.690 the gospel, right? But you don't remain there. 00:17:09.289 --> 00:17:12.009 If not, like I always say here, you become what? 00:17:12.069 --> 00:17:16.529 UFO. Unidentified flying objects. You're online, 00:17:16.809 --> 00:17:19.430 church. You're online, church. In fact, sometimes 00:17:19.430 --> 00:17:23.589 you touch shrine. You come out. You touch mocks. 00:17:23.730 --> 00:17:26.769 You come out. They invite you to cloud nine. 00:17:26.950 --> 00:17:30.170 Here. You go there. Sometimes you come here. 00:17:30.349 --> 00:17:33.220 You know? The glory of God fills everywhere. 00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:39.720 You cry on your knees. You get out there. And 00:17:39.720 --> 00:17:42.980 your mumutious friends carry you again. You move 00:17:42.980 --> 00:17:46.740 around and then you're just struggling with identity 00:17:46.740 --> 00:17:50.680 crisis everywhere. The cure to identity crisis 00:17:50.680 --> 00:17:56.240 for every believer is teaching. Do you hear what 00:17:56.240 --> 00:17:59.819 I said? The cure to what? To identity crisis 00:17:59.819 --> 00:18:06.180 for every believer is what? So now see everyone. 00:18:07.420 --> 00:18:10.819 Was multiplied? There arose a murmuring of the 00:18:10.819 --> 00:18:13.039 Christians against what? The Hebrews because 00:18:13.039 --> 00:18:16.380 their widows were what? Neglected in what? In 00:18:16.380 --> 00:18:19.839 daily ministration. And from there we can keep 00:18:19.839 --> 00:18:22.160 reading. You will see how they were addressed 00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:27.200 as disciples, disciples, disciples, disciples, 00:18:27.279 --> 00:18:37.980 disciples. You must be discipled. You are a product 00:18:37.980 --> 00:18:43.099 of teaching if truly you yield yourself to discipleship. 00:18:47.480 --> 00:18:49.700 There's so much that will change in your life. 00:18:49.819 --> 00:18:52.940 You see, you are too full of yourself. Really. 00:18:55.660 --> 00:19:00.240 Small revelation. You think you have arrived. 00:19:02.500 --> 00:19:04.700 And the revelation is just how to go through 00:19:04.700 --> 00:19:14.680 BLB. You just understood how to check. Let me 00:19:14.680 --> 00:19:22.609 use one. Zoe, just that, cardboard. You know, 00:19:22.690 --> 00:19:33.210 according to BLB, you don't know anything. Revelational 00:19:33.210 --> 00:19:38.509 knowledge excites. I'm telling you, it excites. 00:19:38.529 --> 00:19:40.849 So let me say this as a word of caution. The 00:19:40.849 --> 00:19:43.309 more you feel excited, it should be a sign for 00:19:43.309 --> 00:19:51.140 you to calm down. You know, in someone's language, 00:19:51.359 --> 00:20:00.640 it's a Nisuru, Nisuru, Nisuru for a ballet. The 00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:07.400 more you want to, what? Me what? Nisuru. Calm 00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:16.259 down. There is more you need to know. Praise 00:20:16.259 --> 00:20:22.569 God. You know why I said that now. Hallelujah. 00:20:22.950 --> 00:20:24.869 So now, if you're writing, please write this 00:20:24.869 --> 00:20:28.089 now. It's important. So every church ought to 00:20:28.089 --> 00:20:32.329 be a Bible school. Every church ought to be a 00:20:32.329 --> 00:20:37.009 what? A Bible school. Listen to me. I will not 00:20:37.009 --> 00:20:40.170 have you ignorant. Listen to me. Every church 00:20:40.170 --> 00:20:43.390 ought to be a what? And I say it on this authority. 00:20:43.789 --> 00:20:46.109 If you go to any local church and you're not 00:20:46.109 --> 00:20:48.920 taught God's word, Something is going to happen 00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:54.839 to you now in a short time. Every local church 00:20:54.839 --> 00:20:58.339 ought to be a Bible school and the teaching meeting 00:20:58.339 --> 00:21:02.640 is a classroom. You come, you sit down, and you 00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:05.779 are taught. You hear, you walk with the instructions. 00:21:06.579 --> 00:21:12.039 Amen? It's important. Except your teacher does 00:21:12.039 --> 00:21:16.039 not understand the responsibility. But if a teacher 00:21:16.039 --> 00:21:18.619 understands the responsibility, he will want 00:21:18.619 --> 00:21:22.160 your full attention. It's so unfortunate that 00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:25.119 we come here on a Sunday morning, on a Wednesday, 00:21:25.500 --> 00:21:28.640 on a Friday, and that is when you feel best fit 00:21:28.640 --> 00:21:31.539 for you to carry your phone and play Candy Crush. 00:21:31.640 --> 00:21:37.640 I don't know the games that are online now. So, 00:21:37.700 --> 00:21:42.220 in teaching meetings, we only have one person 00:21:42.220 --> 00:21:47.220 that is teaching. I need to say this now. In 00:21:47.220 --> 00:21:49.900 teaching meetings, we only what? Have one person 00:21:49.900 --> 00:21:54.380 that is what? Our participation is actively in 00:21:54.380 --> 00:21:58.180 listening, learning, taking notes and asking 00:21:58.180 --> 00:22:04.099 questions. In teaching meetings, only one person 00:22:04.099 --> 00:22:07.940 is what? Is teaching. What is our participation? 00:22:07.980 --> 00:22:10.700 How do we ought to behave ourselves? In what? 00:22:11.539 --> 00:22:15.500 Actively in listening, learning. Taking notes 00:22:15.500 --> 00:22:20.960 and what? Asking questions. You should never 00:22:20.960 --> 00:22:23.680 be found. Teaching is going on. You and your 00:22:23.680 --> 00:22:27.400 two friends. You are in corner. You are also 00:22:27.400 --> 00:22:34.940 having your teaching class. How do we ought to 00:22:34.940 --> 00:22:38.319 behave ourselves in teaching meetings? How do 00:22:38.319 --> 00:22:41.539 we ought to behave ourselves? Actively what? 00:22:42.339 --> 00:22:49.430 Listening. learning, taking notes. This is a 00:22:49.430 --> 00:22:53.670 full characteristic or feature of a disciple. 00:22:58.009 --> 00:23:00.670 Pastor Fred is my discipler. Pastor Fred is my 00:23:00.670 --> 00:23:03.190 discipler. Pastor Fred is my discipler. But when 00:23:03.190 --> 00:23:04.950 we see your life, there is nothing comparing 00:23:04.950 --> 00:23:09.509 you to this type of life and behavior. It means 00:23:09.509 --> 00:23:14.710 that you are not actively listening. It means 00:23:14.710 --> 00:23:18.710 you are not actively listening. When you actively 00:23:18.710 --> 00:23:22.809 listen, you actively learn, right? You take notes, 00:23:22.849 --> 00:23:26.210 you ask questions. In a short time, you will 00:23:26.210 --> 00:23:29.430 be like your teacher. Hallelujah. Because that's 00:23:29.430 --> 00:23:31.809 the fruit of teaching. The fruit of teaching 00:23:31.809 --> 00:23:37.230 is that the disciple becomes a what? Yes, the 00:23:37.230 --> 00:23:46.500 discipler. Hallelujah. So, take this down. We 00:23:46.500 --> 00:23:49.960 are coming back to them. The second kind of meeting 00:23:49.960 --> 00:23:53.779 is prayer meetings. Put number two, prayer meetings. 00:23:54.940 --> 00:23:57.099 There is a manner in which we ought to behave 00:23:57.099 --> 00:23:59.839 ourselves in prayer meetings. We are going to 00:23:59.839 --> 00:24:02.880 talk about it in detail. Number one is what? 00:24:03.420 --> 00:24:06.259 Teaching what? Meetings. Number two is what? 00:24:07.059 --> 00:24:13.180 Prayer meetings. Write this down. Number three. 00:24:13.640 --> 00:24:22.500 Outreach meetings. Evangelical meetings. Evangelical 00:24:22.500 --> 00:24:26.920 meetings, number three. Number four. Healing 00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:35.220 meetings. Healing what? Meetings. Glory to God. 00:24:37.079 --> 00:24:39.079 We're going to talk about all this in detail. 00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:47.390 Number five. Leaders' meetings. Leaders' meetings. 00:24:49.309 --> 00:24:52.329 You see all the meetings that I'm asking us to 00:24:52.329 --> 00:24:54.970 write, there is a posture. And all of them are 00:24:54.970 --> 00:24:59.829 from the scriptures. Leaders' meetings. Are we 00:24:59.829 --> 00:25:06.210 all there? Number one is what? Number two? Number 00:25:06.210 --> 00:25:13.799 three? Number four? Number five? And then number 00:25:13.799 --> 00:25:18.940 six now. In itself now. Holy Ghost meetings. 00:25:19.779 --> 00:25:25.859 Or you can say believers meetings. Holy Ghost 00:25:25.859 --> 00:25:32.240 meetings or believers meetings. Thank you, Holy 00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:37.240 Spirit. Can we pray in the Holy Ghost for two 00:25:37.240 --> 00:25:40.099 minutes, everybody? Can we just pray in the Holy 00:25:40.099 --> 00:25:45.279 Ghost? And what are we praying for? Just praying 00:25:45.279 --> 00:25:47.339 the Holy Ghost for two minutes. And when I say 00:25:47.339 --> 00:25:48.759 praying the Holy Ghost, I mean praying tongues. 00:26:16.509 --> 00:26:19.230 What are you praying for again? Can you say pray? 00:26:19.369 --> 00:26:21.769 That you pray the Holy Spirit, use me to be a 00:26:21.769 --> 00:26:24.700 blessing to my neighbor this morning now. Use 00:26:24.700 --> 00:26:27.460 me, use me much more. Speak through me for my 00:26:27.460 --> 00:26:30.180 neighbor. Speak through me for my friend. Speak 00:26:30.180 --> 00:26:32.299 through me for my wife. Speak through me for 00:26:32.299 --> 00:26:51.630 my husband in the name of Jesus. Thank you, Holy 00:26:51.630 --> 00:26:53.769 Ghost. Our eyes are open. We see by the Spirit. 00:26:53.869 --> 00:26:56.650 We hear by the Spirit. We have supernatural experiences 00:26:56.650 --> 00:27:00.069 by the Spirit of God. We have hearing ears. We 00:27:00.069 --> 00:27:02.890 have seen eyes by the Spirit of God. Our hearts 00:27:02.890 --> 00:27:04.849 are open. We receive instructions and directions 00:27:04.849 --> 00:27:08.390 by the Spirit of God. We prophesy by the Spirit 00:27:08.390 --> 00:27:10.710 of God. We give a word of knowledge by the Spirit 00:27:10.710 --> 00:27:12.569 of God. We give word of wisdom by the Spirit 00:27:12.569 --> 00:27:14.130 of God. Tongues and interpretation of tongues 00:27:14.130 --> 00:27:17.869 by the Spirit of God. The power to heal is available 00:27:17.869 --> 00:27:22.029 by the Spirit of God. In the name of Jesus, we 00:27:22.029 --> 00:27:25.049 are edified and we leave this place rejoicing 00:27:25.049 --> 00:27:29.109 by the Spirit of God. Weaknesses are taken. Fears 00:27:29.109 --> 00:27:32.309 are taken. Depressions are taken. Diseases are 00:27:32.309 --> 00:27:35.789 healed. In the name of Jesus. Baptism of the 00:27:35.789 --> 00:27:44.670 Holy Ghost. Demonstrations of the gift of the 00:27:44.670 --> 00:27:51.160 Holy Ghost. Strength, strength, strength, strength 00:27:51.160 --> 00:27:55.480 supplied to us in the name of Jesus. We thank 00:27:55.480 --> 00:28:01.220 you, Holy Ghost. In Jesus' name. What is a Holy 00:28:01.220 --> 00:28:04.420 Ghost meeting? Holy Ghost meeting or a believer's 00:28:04.420 --> 00:28:10.539 meeting, you can say it's a meeting where we 00:28:10.539 --> 00:28:12.980 see the demonstrations of the Spirit of God. 00:28:17.769 --> 00:28:19.910 Where we see the demonstration of the Spirit 00:28:19.910 --> 00:28:30.950 of God. We give the Spirit of God a room to manifest 00:28:30.950 --> 00:28:36.269 Himself. We give the Spirit of God what? Room 00:28:36.269 --> 00:28:41.269 to what? To manifest Himself. However, it has 00:28:41.269 --> 00:28:43.730 an order because there is someone, there is a 00:28:43.730 --> 00:28:45.569 leader that will give us instructions on what 00:28:45.569 --> 00:28:51.599 to do. But often, it's not programmed. Amen? 00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:55.700 Holy Ghost meetings are not what? Are not programmed. 00:28:56.740 --> 00:29:00.480 However, it has an order, right? But it's not 00:29:00.480 --> 00:29:03.640 what? It's not programmed. We're going to look 00:29:03.640 --> 00:29:09.440 at it in the Scriptures. So we give room for 00:29:09.440 --> 00:29:12.460 the Spirit of God to do what? To manifest. We 00:29:12.460 --> 00:29:16.809 see the demonstrations of the Spirit. So in Holy 00:29:16.809 --> 00:29:20.250 Ghost meetings, what we find, two major things 00:29:20.250 --> 00:29:23.750 we find. Number one, the teaching of God's word. 00:29:23.849 --> 00:29:26.769 And number two, the demonstrations of the things 00:29:26.769 --> 00:29:30.769 of the Spirit. In Holy Ghost meetings, we see 00:29:30.769 --> 00:29:33.970 two things. Number one, we see the teaching of 00:29:33.970 --> 00:29:37.269 God's word. And number two, we see the demonstrations 00:29:37.269 --> 00:29:39.769 of the things, or you can put it, the manifestation 00:29:39.769 --> 00:29:45.150 of the things of the Spirit. In Holy Ghost meetings, 00:29:45.390 --> 00:29:51.130 we see first of a necessity and a priority, the 00:29:51.130 --> 00:29:54.650 teaching of God's word. And secondly, we see 00:29:54.650 --> 00:29:59.009 room given or the Holy Ghost allowed to demonstrate 00:29:59.009 --> 00:30:07.250 or manifest himself. So why should we give room 00:30:07.250 --> 00:30:12.089 for the word? Acts chapter 10. Acts chapter 10. 00:30:12.819 --> 00:30:14.960 Because the teaching of God's word gives birth 00:30:14.960 --> 00:30:18.039 to every experience we see in the spirit. Hallelujah. 00:30:18.759 --> 00:30:22.779 The teaching of God will do what? Will give birth 00:30:22.779 --> 00:30:25.220 to what? Will give opportunity for every experience 00:30:25.220 --> 00:30:28.660 or manifestation we see. Amen. So Acts chapter 00:30:28.660 --> 00:30:30.259 10 now everybody. Let's read the scriptures. 00:30:31.839 --> 00:30:34.640 Acts chapter 10 verse 34 to 46. So it's going 00:30:34.640 --> 00:30:37.099 to be a long reading. We're going to read it. 00:30:38.519 --> 00:30:42.400 Please don't be showing scriptures. I want everybody 00:30:42.400 --> 00:30:46.619 to read his Bible. Please. Just help me, right? 00:30:46.799 --> 00:30:50.460 I love you. Everybody go into your Bible. Acts 00:30:50.460 --> 00:30:55.759 chapter 10 verse 34. Acts chapter 10 verse 34. 00:30:59.420 --> 00:31:03.400 Let's read. Then Peter opened his what? Then 00:31:03.400 --> 00:31:09.240 Peter what? Then Peter what? Say in the Holy 00:31:09.240 --> 00:31:13.599 Ghost meeting. In the Holy Ghost meeting, I always 00:31:13.599 --> 00:31:18.019 open my mouth and the Spirit of God moves through 00:31:18.019 --> 00:31:22.380 me. Yes. Then Peter opened his mouth and what? 00:31:22.920 --> 00:31:27.920 And said, you're going to see why. Of a truth 00:31:27.920 --> 00:31:30.140 I perceive that God is no respecter of what? 00:31:30.220 --> 00:31:32.859 Of persons. But in every nation he that feareth 00:31:32.859 --> 00:31:35.660 him and walketh righteousness is accepted with 00:31:35.660 --> 00:31:37.660 him. The word which God sent unto the children 00:31:37.660 --> 00:31:40.509 of Israel. Preaching peace by Jesus Christ, he 00:31:40.509 --> 00:31:44.869 is Lord of all. That word, I say ye, I say, ye 00:31:44.869 --> 00:31:47.250 know which was published throughout all Judea 00:31:47.250 --> 00:31:49.950 and began from Galilee after the baptism which 00:31:49.950 --> 00:31:53.150 John preached. How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth 00:31:53.150 --> 00:31:56.230 with what? With the Holy Ghost and with power 00:31:56.230 --> 00:31:58.549 who went about doing good and healing all that 00:31:58.549 --> 00:32:01.829 were oppressed of what? Of the devil for God 00:32:01.829 --> 00:32:05.109 was what? 38, again, let's read together. One, 00:32:05.130 --> 00:32:08.960 two, go. How God anointed Jesus Christ with what 00:32:08.960 --> 00:32:11.599 of Nazareth? With what? Holy Spirit and with 00:32:11.599 --> 00:32:15.319 what? Say, I have the Spirit of God. I have the 00:32:15.319 --> 00:32:18.599 power of God. I have the Spirit of God. I have 00:32:18.599 --> 00:32:23.200 the power of God. I go about. I go about doing 00:32:23.200 --> 00:32:28.359 good. I go about preaching the gospel and healing 00:32:28.359 --> 00:32:31.819 all that are oppressed of the devil. For God 00:32:31.819 --> 00:32:36.089 is with me. And we are witnesses of all things 00:32:36.089 --> 00:32:39.029 which he did, both in the land of the Jews and 00:32:39.029 --> 00:32:42.269 in Jerusalem, whom they slew and hanged on the 00:32:42.269 --> 00:32:46.329 tree. Him God raised up the third day and showed 00:32:46.329 --> 00:32:50.210 him openly, not to all the people, but unto witnesses 00:32:50.210 --> 00:32:53.609 chosen before of God, even to us. He was speaking 00:32:53.609 --> 00:32:55.849 about himself now. Who did eat and drink with 00:32:55.849 --> 00:32:59.109 him after he rose from the dead. And he commanded 00:32:59.109 --> 00:33:02.390 us to preach. Hallelujah. And he commanded us 00:33:02.390 --> 00:33:05.849 to what? To preach. And he commanded us to what? 00:33:06.269 --> 00:33:08.910 See why Peter is making emphasis on that now. 00:33:09.089 --> 00:33:11.869 Unto the people and to testify that it is he 00:33:11.869 --> 00:33:14.109 which was ordained of God to be the daughter 00:33:14.109 --> 00:33:16.250 of the quick and the dead for the dream. To him 00:33:16.250 --> 00:33:20.630 give all the prophets what? Witness that through 00:33:20.630 --> 00:33:23.670 his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive 00:33:23.670 --> 00:33:28.250 remission of what? Sins. While Peter yet what? 00:33:28.789 --> 00:33:33.839 Speak. The people started laughing. Is that what 00:33:33.839 --> 00:33:38.480 your scripture says? While Peter yet spake these 00:33:38.480 --> 00:33:44.400 words. What happened? What happened? So what 00:33:44.400 --> 00:33:46.779 gave opportunity for the move of the Holy Ghost? 00:33:47.619 --> 00:33:53.119 Huh? Talk now. This is a classroom. What gave 00:33:53.119 --> 00:33:55.920 opportunity for the move of the Holy Ghost? Huh? 00:33:57.039 --> 00:34:01.920 The what, my sister? Touch her, touch her. Yes, 00:34:01.920 --> 00:34:03.500 what gave opportunity for the move of the Holy 00:34:03.500 --> 00:34:07.059 Ghost? The Word. He was teaching. Hallelujah. 00:34:07.680 --> 00:34:11.480 He was teaching. The Holy Ghost now began to 00:34:11.480 --> 00:34:16.460 move. Fell on all of them which did what? Had 00:34:16.460 --> 00:34:20.639 the Word. All of them that were there, the Spirit 00:34:20.639 --> 00:34:24.719 of the Lord did what? Fell upon them. 44, 45. 00:34:25.360 --> 00:34:28.960 And they of the circumcision which believed were 00:34:28.960 --> 00:34:32.489 astonished. And as many came with Peter, because 00:34:32.489 --> 00:34:36.550 that on the Gentiles also was poured out the 00:34:36.550 --> 00:34:40.849 gift of what? Of the Holy Ghost. See 46. For 00:34:40.849 --> 00:34:45.070 they heard them. With what? How did they hear 00:34:45.070 --> 00:34:48.969 them? They heard them with what? With tongues. 00:34:49.389 --> 00:34:53.809 What were they saying with tongues? And magnified 00:34:53.809 --> 00:35:02.340 God then answered what? Peter. Teaching was coming. 00:35:02.900 --> 00:35:06.940 Teaching, teaching, teaching, teaching. What 00:35:06.940 --> 00:35:09.719 was the thing that Peter was preaching? The previous 00:35:09.719 --> 00:35:13.400 verses. As he was teaching, he didn't change 00:35:13.400 --> 00:35:16.039 the message. He didn't say there is going to 00:35:16.039 --> 00:35:18.840 be one spectacular power that is going to come. 00:35:19.099 --> 00:35:21.239 What was he talking about? He was talking about 00:35:21.239 --> 00:35:24.179 the death, burial and what? The resurrection 00:35:24.179 --> 00:35:28.480 of Jesus Christ. He said, while he yet spake. 00:35:29.800 --> 00:35:33.420 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ. 00:35:33.699 --> 00:35:36.320 Right? Romans chapter 1. Let's read it together. 00:35:36.760 --> 00:35:38.940 We need to read it together. So that you will 00:35:38.940 --> 00:35:41.139 know. There is no any kind of special message 00:35:41.139 --> 00:35:43.099 you need to preach for the Holy Ghost to come 00:35:43.099 --> 00:35:47.659 upon people. Hallelujah. Same message. Romans 00:35:47.659 --> 00:35:53.579 chapter 1. Verse 16. For I am not ashamed of 00:35:53.579 --> 00:35:55.579 the gospel of Jesus Christ. For it is the power 00:35:55.579 --> 00:35:58.639 of God unto salvation. To what? To everyone that 00:35:58.639 --> 00:36:02.360 what? Believe it to the Jew first and also to 00:36:02.360 --> 00:36:06.559 what? To the Greek. There is no special kind 00:36:06.559 --> 00:36:09.300 of message you preach for the Holy Ghost to move. 00:36:09.380 --> 00:36:14.320 No. Same message. The death, burial, and what? 00:36:14.780 --> 00:36:17.420 Resurrection of Jesus. Same message that gets 00:36:17.420 --> 00:36:19.659 people saved. It's same message that gets people 00:36:19.659 --> 00:36:21.659 filled with the Holy Ghost. It's same message 00:36:21.659 --> 00:36:24.320 that causes the manifestation and the demonstration 00:36:24.320 --> 00:36:26.019 of things of the Holy Ghost through their lives. 00:36:26.119 --> 00:36:30.199 Same message, sir. There is no another kind of 00:36:30.199 --> 00:36:36.960 message again. You know, I think, you know, because 00:36:36.960 --> 00:36:39.460 I was just telling them how Jesus died and rose 00:36:39.460 --> 00:36:41.480 again, that is why I think the Spirit did not 00:36:41.480 --> 00:36:46.480 move. No. That is what, that is actually what 00:36:46.480 --> 00:36:50.539 makes the Spirit move. Hallelujah. Praise God. 00:36:51.340 --> 00:36:57.639 Hallelujah. Hallelujah. So we see, the speaking 00:36:57.639 --> 00:37:00.369 of the word, The teaching of the Word, which 00:37:00.369 --> 00:37:04.070 will not go back to it now, brought about the 00:37:04.070 --> 00:37:08.289 demonstrations of the Spirit. Nothing more. All 00:37:08.289 --> 00:37:11.269 that had the Word, the Spirit of God, fell upon 00:37:11.269 --> 00:37:14.110 them. In catatismus, what will be happening is, 00:37:14.170 --> 00:37:16.409 as we are hearing the Word, the Spirit of the 00:37:16.409 --> 00:37:18.769 Lord will be falling upon people. We're going 00:37:18.769 --> 00:37:20.610 to see people feel much more with the Spirit 00:37:20.610 --> 00:37:22.789 of God. We're going to see demonstrations of 00:37:22.789 --> 00:37:25.030 things of the Spirit like no other day that we 00:37:25.030 --> 00:37:27.469 have seen. We're going to see convictions stirred 00:37:27.469 --> 00:37:30.059 up much more. We're going to see people see by 00:37:30.059 --> 00:37:31.940 the Spirit of God. We're going to see people 00:37:31.940 --> 00:37:33.980 hear by the Spirit of God. We're going to see 00:37:33.980 --> 00:37:39.039 people heal instantly by the Spirit of God. The 00:37:39.039 --> 00:37:45.079 teaching of those words. Nothing more. You see, 00:37:45.099 --> 00:37:46.699 if you understand what I just said now, you will 00:37:46.699 --> 00:37:49.880 stop running from church A to church B, to church 00:37:49.880 --> 00:37:53.480 C, to church 3. That is why you keep following 00:37:53.480 --> 00:37:56.460 majors, majors, majors, majors everywhere. Your 00:37:56.460 --> 00:38:00.510 life is still a minor. The Lord will give you 00:38:00.510 --> 00:38:06.550 understanding. Stay where you are and grow. Tell 00:38:06.550 --> 00:38:10.369 your friend, stay where you are and grow. Stay 00:38:10.369 --> 00:38:13.150 in NECF and grow. Please tell the person there 00:38:13.150 --> 00:38:14.550 is nothing you are looking outside for there. 00:38:16.570 --> 00:38:22.230 Yes. Oh, let me say this now as it's coming to 00:38:22.230 --> 00:38:24.829 my heart now by the Spirit of God. All that you 00:38:24.829 --> 00:38:28.250 need as a believer, you'll find it in this local 00:38:28.250 --> 00:38:34.460 church. You know, I was talking to someone some 00:38:34.460 --> 00:38:37.679 last two weeks. She said, sir, you know, why 00:38:37.679 --> 00:38:42.139 me? I said, but we have not been seeing you in 00:38:42.139 --> 00:38:43.980 church. We have not been seeing you in cell meetings. 00:38:44.159 --> 00:38:45.940 We have not been seeing you in this. She said, 00:38:46.059 --> 00:38:50.300 sir, every time I come around, I feel people 00:38:50.300 --> 00:38:56.380 are judging me. I said, actually, your feelings 00:38:56.380 --> 00:39:02.380 are valid. But... You see, this judgment, we 00:39:02.380 --> 00:39:05.960 have to give it a context. Are they judging you 00:39:05.960 --> 00:39:09.960 or you feel judged? She said, I actually feel 00:39:09.960 --> 00:39:12.699 judged. I said, so what did you do to prove them 00:39:12.699 --> 00:39:17.940 that this feeling is not true? She said, I did 00:39:17.940 --> 00:39:21.860 not say anything. So I said, so where have you 00:39:21.860 --> 00:39:23.599 been that we have not seen you? She said, I'm 00:39:23.599 --> 00:39:25.400 attending this church. Definitely I will not 00:39:25.400 --> 00:39:29.440 tell you people their name. I said, so since... 00:39:29.639 --> 00:39:32.800 you enter that place. You know, because she shared 00:39:32.800 --> 00:39:36.460 a problem with me and the problem was that when 00:39:36.460 --> 00:39:37.960 she, there are certain people, I will not call 00:39:37.960 --> 00:39:39.960 names definitely, there are some people in this 00:39:39.960 --> 00:39:42.159 church that when she sees their life, when they 00:39:42.159 --> 00:39:44.980 talk about Jesus, they talk about Jesus out of 00:39:44.980 --> 00:39:47.599 conviction and they don't talk about Jesus out 00:39:47.599 --> 00:39:50.840 of duty. And I ask her, have you gone to meet 00:39:50.840 --> 00:39:53.500 them and then they tell you they are before and 00:39:53.500 --> 00:39:56.760 now? Do you know that they came to this place 00:39:56.760 --> 00:40:01.769 worse than you? But you see, that thing you call 00:40:01.769 --> 00:40:07.989 duty is actually what makes it works. That feeling, 00:40:08.170 --> 00:40:11.550 now that you moved to that place, so far, have 00:40:11.550 --> 00:40:15.110 you feel any kind of this thing? She said, not 00:40:15.110 --> 00:40:18.570 yet, nothing. I told her, I said, you will never 00:40:18.570 --> 00:40:22.250 see it. I know what, I took her to 2 Timothy, 00:40:22.630 --> 00:40:26.610 chapter 4. He said, you know, a time will come, 00:40:26.690 --> 00:40:29.769 they will heap for themselves. false teachers 00:40:29.769 --> 00:40:31.889 with itching ears. They would be jumping around. 00:40:32.010 --> 00:40:34.530 When she read it, she shouted. I said, I didn't 00:40:34.530 --> 00:40:36.469 say it. You read it. And you know, she caught 00:40:36.469 --> 00:40:48.449 herself and read Amplified. So I now said, having 00:40:48.449 --> 00:40:50.369 said all these things, what will you do? She 00:40:50.369 --> 00:40:52.230 says, I will go and pray. I said, no, you don't 00:40:52.230 --> 00:40:55.250 pray about a church to be part of. The scripture 00:40:55.250 --> 00:40:58.190 has answered your prayers on which local church 00:40:58.190 --> 00:41:00.750 to be part of. See, if you're hearing me here, 00:41:00.809 --> 00:41:05.510 never pray about a church to join. Never. The 00:41:05.510 --> 00:41:08.150 church to join has been defined in the word. 00:41:08.909 --> 00:41:11.550 Your prayers have been answered. You just have 00:41:11.550 --> 00:41:14.110 been praying for two months. Where? You're lying. 00:41:16.090 --> 00:41:20.409 It's just that you don't know. Find a church. 00:41:21.070 --> 00:41:24.429 Where God's word is giving much more credence. 00:41:24.610 --> 00:41:27.769 Find a church where prayers is giving much more 00:41:27.769 --> 00:41:30.489 credence. Find a church where you are encouraged. 00:41:30.630 --> 00:41:33.449 Let me say this hard now. Find a church where 00:41:33.449 --> 00:41:35.789 they are on your neck to serve God as a duty. 00:41:37.590 --> 00:41:41.889 That is how you grow. Our mothers are here. They 00:41:41.889 --> 00:41:44.670 will tell you. Yesterday I was with Pastor Victor. 00:41:45.889 --> 00:41:48.769 One of his babies is finding difficulty to this 00:41:48.769 --> 00:41:51.809 season. But... Imagine now, she says she will 00:41:51.809 --> 00:41:57.110 not eat. What will you do? She must eat. You 00:41:57.110 --> 00:42:02.690 don't negotiate your growth in Jesus. It's God's 00:42:02.690 --> 00:42:05.030 responsibility for you as a believer to do what? 00:42:05.150 --> 00:42:08.469 To grow. Every responsible father wants to see 00:42:08.469 --> 00:42:13.429 his sons and daughters do what? Grow. You become 00:42:13.429 --> 00:42:17.809 an issue if you're not growing. However, since 00:42:17.809 --> 00:42:20.179 then I've not seen her around. Maybe she's still 00:42:20.179 --> 00:42:23.340 praying. I'll give her some additional one week. 00:42:24.500 --> 00:42:30.920 And then I'll call her again. Tell your friend, 00:42:30.980 --> 00:42:34.500 don't run away from church. Because you feel 00:42:34.500 --> 00:42:37.940 judged. Now say this now. If you feel judged, 00:42:38.059 --> 00:42:44.059 it's because you are guilty. Yes. It's a word 00:42:44.059 --> 00:42:51.269 for somebody. So. Holy Ghost meetings, what gives 00:42:51.269 --> 00:42:53.789 back to demonstrations is what? Teaching of God's 00:42:53.789 --> 00:42:56.849 Word. Amen? So now the second thing we see, the 00:42:56.849 --> 00:42:58.809 first thing we see is what? The Word of God is 00:42:58.809 --> 00:43:02.909 giving what? Is giving place first. Do you know 00:43:02.909 --> 00:43:05.329 why? Because the Spirit of God has been given 00:43:05.329 --> 00:43:08.289 to us so that we can become speaking spirits. 00:43:10.809 --> 00:43:13.880 The Spirit of God. So what the teaching of God's 00:43:13.880 --> 00:43:15.960 word will do to us is that the teaching of God 00:43:15.960 --> 00:43:19.099 will reveal to us our identity in Christ. That 00:43:19.099 --> 00:43:21.480 the teaching of God's word will unveil to us 00:43:21.480 --> 00:43:24.840 to know that we are what? Speaking what? Spirits. 00:43:25.159 --> 00:43:29.139 Oh boy, we change things by words in this kingdom. 00:43:30.760 --> 00:43:34.739 We speak. We speak life. We speak life. We speak 00:43:34.739 --> 00:43:40.639 life. Speak life. Speak life. Speak life. When 00:43:40.639 --> 00:43:43.440 something is not going right, we speak life. 00:43:43.539 --> 00:43:48.960 We bring order to every chaos around. See, I'm 00:43:48.960 --> 00:43:53.400 a speaking spirit because the Spirit of God dwells 00:43:53.400 --> 00:44:00.219 in me. Yes. He's a speaking spirit. So the demonstrations 00:44:00.219 --> 00:44:03.880 of the gifts of the Spirit are a product of speakings. 00:44:04.900 --> 00:44:13.010 Yes. 1 Corinthians 12, verse 3. So that we'll 00:44:13.010 --> 00:44:16.010 see scriptures now. So while Peter yet speak, 00:44:16.289 --> 00:44:19.110 imagine Peter was there and he refused to speak. 00:44:19.210 --> 00:44:22.190 Do you think anything will happen? Oh, I just 00:44:22.190 --> 00:44:24.750 got this now in my heart. When we come much more, 00:44:24.849 --> 00:44:27.550 all these weeks that are coming ahead of us into 00:44:27.550 --> 00:44:30.590 Carthaginus, learn to speak. Because by speaking, 00:44:30.769 --> 00:44:33.440 things will begin to happen. Because by speaking, 00:44:33.639 --> 00:44:36.280 you will see the supernatural. Because by speaking, 00:44:36.460 --> 00:44:38.880 order will be set in places where there are chaos. 00:44:40.280 --> 00:44:45.119 Yes. 1 Corinthians now, chapter 12, verse 3. 00:44:45.179 --> 00:44:50.619 See. Please pay attention to that verse. Wherefore, 00:44:50.659 --> 00:44:56.219 I give you to understand. No man by keeping quiet 00:44:56.219 --> 00:45:01.099 by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accost. Please 00:45:01.099 --> 00:45:03.139 pay attention. Verse 3, everybody. Wherefore, 00:45:03.219 --> 00:45:07.179 I give you to understand that no man, by keeping 00:45:07.179 --> 00:45:10.119 quiet by the Spirit of God, calleth Jesus a ghost. 00:45:10.820 --> 00:45:16.219 No man what? No man what? How does the man speak? 00:45:16.320 --> 00:45:21.960 By what? By the Spirit of what? Of God. And that 00:45:21.960 --> 00:45:28.179 no man can say that Jesus is Lord, but by what? 00:45:28.909 --> 00:45:31.190 When I was standing at the back there, he said, 00:45:31.289 --> 00:45:34.889 if you can say that Jesus is Lord, then you can 00:45:34.889 --> 00:45:38.570 say healing take place. If you can say Jesus 00:45:38.570 --> 00:45:42.170 is Lord, then you can say eyes open. If you can 00:45:42.170 --> 00:45:45.510 say Jesus is Lord, then you can say ears open. 00:45:45.630 --> 00:45:48.809 If you can say Jesus is Lord, because the same 00:45:48.809 --> 00:45:51.250 spirit that has worked in your heart to say Jesus 00:45:51.250 --> 00:45:53.269 is Lord is the same spirit that is working in 00:45:53.269 --> 00:45:56.920 you now to say eyes open, eyes to open. And this 00:45:56.920 --> 00:45:59.300 son shall follow them that believe. In my name. 00:45:59.679 --> 00:46:04.840 It's not another spirit. Same spirit. You will 00:46:04.840 --> 00:46:07.900 have supernatural experiences every day. Hallelujah. 00:46:08.559 --> 00:46:16.599 Praise God. Hallelujah. So God has given us a 00:46:16.599 --> 00:46:21.500 spirit so that we can speak. No man can say. 00:46:21.880 --> 00:46:25.019 by the Spirit of God. No man can speak by the 00:46:25.019 --> 00:46:32.699 Spirit of God. No man. On Wednesday, by God's 00:46:32.699 --> 00:46:35.400 grace, we're going to build on a short path. 00:46:36.159 --> 00:46:38.360 And I believe from there, we're going to have 00:46:38.360 --> 00:46:40.320 full understanding and instructions of what is 00:46:40.320 --> 00:46:43.159 going to come in the Karatismos much more. Hallelujah. 00:46:45.219 --> 00:46:50.159 Position yourself for this conference. Participate 00:46:50.159 --> 00:46:53.010 in this conference. If it's in your power to 00:46:53.010 --> 00:46:55.710 tell your boss to give you that one week, please 00:46:55.710 --> 00:47:00.809 tell your boss and be around. Amen. Please do 00:47:00.809 --> 00:47:04.449 all you can. This year is going to be different. 00:47:04.489 --> 00:47:06.349 I know by the Spirit of God now. I know what 00:47:06.349 --> 00:47:12.070 I'm saying now. I've seen it. I've seen it. Not 00:47:12.070 --> 00:47:15.530 once, not twice. I've seen it. I'm praying about 00:47:15.530 --> 00:47:20.110 it every day from last month till today. I've 00:47:20.110 --> 00:47:23.349 been praying every day for this program. The 00:47:23.349 --> 00:47:25.210 pastors have been praying every day for this 00:47:25.210 --> 00:47:28.349 program. A prayer team are praying every day 00:47:28.349 --> 00:47:30.750 for this program. So what will stop you from 00:47:30.750 --> 00:47:33.349 praying for this conference? What will stop you 00:47:33.349 --> 00:47:34.989 from preparing your hearts for this conference? 00:47:36.989 --> 00:47:44.849 Can we rise to our feet? Desire the supernatural 00:47:44.849 --> 00:47:50.530 in your life, in your family.

The Spirit of 00:48:00.630 --> 00:48:03.409 God is speaking through us and is even doing 00:48:03.409 --> 00:48:19.429 now. My hands, they heal my eyes. They see my 00:48:19.429 --> 00:48:27.610 ears. They hear in the Holy Ghost. My hands, 00:48:27.610 --> 00:48:50.530 they hear my ears. They see. One more time.
